Hi, brother!
 
I was not the author of the magnificent article you are referring to about the anticipation of Islam's 12th Imam.  I merely shared it with everyone.  One of my gifts is poetry, as you can see on my Christian Poems page, but I've only written 3 articles ever.  I do most definitely appreicate your blessings, though, and I see your blessing and raise you one!  :-)
 
I don't think the AC will be an alien, but I DO think that the AC is going to explain away our disappearance by saying that we were abducted by aliens, because we would never be able to accept "the Christ", so we needed to be sent to another plane of existence until we could be "programmed" to accept him.  There is one FANTASTIC article by Cutting Edge on my 2004 Strange Heavenly Signs page:
 
"Aliens, UFO's -- why are they constantly in the news, in movies, and in TV shows? Why are we bombarded with experts claiming they have proven the existence of extraterrestrials?"

Scroll down the page to the UFO's sub-category.  At the very bottom of that page is a "Back" button, which will take you to my 2005 page.  You will be SHOCKED how many UFO stories are there!  Heads up, Doves... Yeshua is coming back SOON!!!
 
Be blessed!
