Then we really should be calling these things demons/spirits, and reserve the word "alien" for the kind that would merely be from another planet in this particular material universe.
In my opinion, a separate word should be used to describe those beings that are metaphysical/non-corporeal.
And since these types of interlopers seem hostile, and behave much like what the Church fathers would describe as demons, why not call them as such instead?

Aliens, ghosts, demons, etc, are all very similar in their nature as non-physical entities. Also this definition of demon is from Webster's first 1828 dictionary.
