He doesn't understand what the Gnostics were talking about at all. Archons aren't material. He says only the Nag Hammadi Library survived, that's not true. The archons weren't jealous of humanity. They are controlled by the Demiurge. It is said though by some accounts that the Demiurge saw that humans were greater than him because of the spark, which he lacked.
The galaxy wasn't seen as the "pleroma" like the author says. Pleroma meaning "fullness" and the tendency to attribute material things as either imperfect or evil...it's far, far from what Gnostics would call "full". If the earth is a corpse, then what is the galaxy?
Gnostics never said archons "feed on our fear". Nor did they ever describe "reptilians" or any other type of material entity.
Certain religious beliefs such as divine redeemer / messiah are injected delusions.
That doesn't even make sense considering Jesus was seen as a redeemer.
Amazingly, whatever the significance of their content (and we have just barely begun to comprehend what that might be), the Nag Hammadi Codices (NHC) are rare original artifacts, the earliest surviving examples of bound books.
A close reading of these arcane materials shows that Gnostics were deeply concerned with alien intrusion into human affairs. The entities they called Archons appear to be identical to the ET’s of modern Ufology. Both Grey and Reptilian types are explicitly described in the codices. I would estimate that up to one-fifth of the core material in the NHC concerns the Archons, their origin, methods and motives.
The Gnostic Gospels are a collection of about fifty-two texts based upon the ancient wisdom teachings of several prophets and spiritual leaders including Jesus, written from the 2nd to the 4th century AD.[1] These gospels are not part of the standard Biblical canon of any major Christian denomination, and as such are part of what is called the New Testament apocrypha.
So why were the gnostic gospels not included in the Bible?
One explanation I've heard is that even in a book replete with myths like the bible, the myths in the Gnostic Gospels were considered too far fetched for anyone to believe as possibly being real so they were excluded in favor of only leaving in some of the more believable myths like parting the red sea and what have you.

Accordingly, some UFOs could in fact be spacecraft from colonies of neighbouring planets of Earth, and their moons. In other words, scientific research now supports the plausibility of various testimonies that have been made of such intelligent and apparently inorganic life in our solar system.

No they weren't concerned with "alien" intrusion and no, both Grey and Reptillian types are NOT described in the codices. That is complete BS. Why people with no interest in gnosticism would butch it and apply it to these things is beyond me.
In the NHC, the story of the Annunaki (Archons) is introduced in a cosmological perspective, and then it is analyzed. In other words, the Gnostics had a view of the cosmic origins of the Annunaki, and they also took a critical approach to intervention. The cuneiform record is just a story, without critical commentary. The description of alien interbreeding occurs in both cases, but the NHC tell us the attempt failed:
“The Archons came to Adam. When they saw Eve talking to him they said to each other, ‘What sort of creature is this luminous woman?’ … Now come, let us lay hold of her and cast our seed into her, that she may become soiled and unable to access her inner light. Then those who she bears will be under our charge… But Eve, being a free power, laughed at their decision. She put mist in their eyes [and escaped them].” (The Origin of the World, 116)
This is one of several NHC passages that show Eve outwitting the Archons. It presents a mythological event, and comments on the outcome of that event. In the Gnostic view, the Archon/Annunaki do attempt to interbreed with humanity, but fail. Other texts describe how Eve leaves her “phantom image” which the Archons defile, but they are unable to actually access her body, i.e., human genetic structure.

I suggest reading this.
OP speculates about non carbon space-based life - and then mentions the (astral) life forms of the 'inorganic interplanetary realm' as per the Nag Hammadii Codices.
They are not really related at all - that is why the confusion as to the replies.
