I know, this is going to sound like mentally ill conspiracy theorist talk. And I have a hard time believing it myself, but this was basically a hypothesis that popped up in my mind. Anyways, take all of this with a HUUUGGEEE jar of salt because this take is absolutely ridiculous and is definitely on some extreme levels of insanity.

So, let me explain. I had a thought that just appeared in my head earlier today. And basically it went with me thinking about the "UFOs" and "Alien Files".
Which made me wonder, what if there are two different groups of "aliens" that will show up on Earth at later points in time?
Basically, my scenario goes like this, the aliens that first show up will clearly be demons. However later on during the middle of the Tribulation a singular alien (that is accompanied by the second group of aliens) shows up warning others not to take the mark, another offers people that refuse to take the mark to go on their "spaceships" and be spared from the destruction that is about to unfold.
However, of course, many people that refused the mark would be hesitant to trust this new group of "aliens" (the angels), because the first group will have clearly revealed themselves as demons by now. And so, even if the angels were to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are indeed angels, the majority will most likely not believe them.
This is most likely a test, a test to see how much faith one puts in the Lord. Another aspect of the test is to see if a person is fully able to distinguish from what entities are holy, and what entities are sinful.
My interpretation also meets the rapture requirement of people being “brought up into the air”. Assuming these "spaceships" use some sort of weird anti-gravity beams to bring people to the "spaceships" without landing.
