They are ministers or servants of God. They appear all over scripture. Some guard the very throne of God. Where do they dwell? Also some are fallen.

14 Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation?
Yes they are ministers of God. But how do they do this assignment given them by God?

Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 He was present originally with God.
3All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
Colossians 1:15-17
Amplified Bible (AMP)
15[Now] He is the [a]exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
16For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
17And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
According to these scriptures everything was created by God.

And it would seem to me with some of the things we see that man has made such as the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico and all the astrological importance that was in their design, it would almost seem there had to be a strong influence from the fallen angels or demons to get these societies so steeped in that belief which of course is condemned in the Bible.
Maybe the aliens are angels? After all they are supposed to be beings from somewhere else. Different dimension? The fallen angels were once on the earth according to Genesis.

Like I said, to fly from place to place quickly like pilots do.
Pilots need wings to fly. They wewr a symbol of wings on their
uniforms.

Angels must fly to and fro above the earth, right?
