With all the talk and excitement about UAP and non-human intelligence, the subject of their salvation is being discussed.
How are we to think about this possibility?
The late Dr. Micaheal S. Hesier helps us sort this out.
The Salvation of...Aliens?
"NASA has just discovered 7 exoplanets similar to Earth in a solar system roughly 40 lightyears away. By the universe’s standards, this is close. The system is called Trappist-1, and it holds promise for the search for extraterrestrial life.
This finding raises a host of questions. The obvious one, regarding spirituality, is whether discovering intelligent alien life would affect the world's respective faiths. This discovery would most likely affect theism, probably Christianity more than most because Christianity is founded on the single-solution work of Jesus Christ. What I mean by that is that if there are aliens, and if they are spiritually fallen beings, then who has redeemed them? We hold that Jesus died for the sins of humanity, but are aliens excluded from redemption?
When I say, “single-solution work,” I mean just that. Aliens don’t need their own “Jesus.” Aliens, if in need of redemption, are within the realm of the redemption already available..." from the article: The Salvation of...Aliens?

'The question of whether intelligent aliens (if they exist) need redemption has been around for centuries in Church history, but we can find a possible answer in the Bible itself." from the video introduction
