Docu-Series about UFO Cultist Sherry Shriner

[wwkirk]

Season 2 of The Devil You Know focuses on the late UFO cult leader Sherry Shriner. Her thing was warning about alien reptilian infiltration. She was also allegedly responsible (by proxy) for a couple of murders.

“People call me a false prophet,” Shriner says in the clip. “Out of every four humans, only one is real… we are at critical mass.” Meanwhile, one of her victims opines, “Sherry Shriner is the epitome of evil.”

The show is available on both Vice TV and Hulu.

Okay, I watched the first episode. Even though there is a tenuous connection to UFOs - Aaron Gulyas even mentioned how she intimidated him on his Saucer Life podcast - she was more of a religious conspiracy theorist than a UFO believer. She speaks of aliens, and especially about reptilians, but both 'aliens' and 'reptilians' are conflated with demons.

Her ideology was not tightly formulated or clear. She would transition seamlessly from talking about clones, becoming possessed by some kind of entity, and being replaced by a reptilian. To top it off, she was a self-proclaimed “Messenger of the Highest God.” So I don't know if she really thought the aliens were from another planet in the physical universe as opposed to some other plane or realm.

So, more of the 'aliens are demons' mentality, which I think is rather similar to the antivax mentality, fear based, to keep people in the dark...

Agreed. Though in her case, if I remember correctly, she started out more as a straight religious conspiracy theorist. She seemed to have added the alien angle to attract more followers. Here's the Saucer Life episode devoted to her.
