Original Note:

He is succumbing to and spreading a popular delusion based on fear and ignorance of what can be seen in the nighttime sky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(constellation) https://science.nasa.gov/universe/discovering-the-universe-through-the-constellation-orion/ https://earthsky.org/constellations/orion-the-hunter-most-recognizable/
