How do you check a big alien-disclosure theory without dismissing people outright?

Start by separating the pieces. A report that officials spoke with religious leaders, if accurately reported, would not by itself show what was discussed or prove a coordinated plan. Look for original documents, named and accountable sources, and independent confirmation. Keep the leap from “a meeting happened” to “this is the hidden purpose” clearly marked as speculation.

I’d slow down before sharing it. Check whether the story provides a traceable source, whether other reliable outlets confirm the specific details, and whether the headline goes further than the reporting. If the central claim depends on anonymous hints and predictions about a future event, that is a reason to stay uncertain, not a reason to fill in the gaps.

You can take someone’s faith seriously without treating a prediction about government plans as established fact. The theological question and the evidence question are different. Ask what observation could prove the claim wrong, too. If every possible outcome gets folded into the theory, it may be impossible to test.
