Controversy

Prophet Yahweh claims to be able to summon UFOs on command, and has submitted numerous YouTube videos which supposedly document such events. None of the UFOs summoned ever approach close enough to the camera to provide a clear and undisputed view. His claims inspire controversy and debate between those who assert that the images in these videos are genuine UFOs actually summoned by Prophet Yahweh and those who believe the events to be staged hoaxes.
