This song is just so... mystical. I think its mood is very haunting, one full of awe.
Looks like Sufjan connects UFO sightings with supernatural events, possibly God's incarnation as Jesus (always keep the bible in mind when interpreting his lyrics!) or the second coming of Jesus (according to the dictionary a "revenant" is "one that returns after death or a long absence")
"Three stars" = the Trinity?
"Delivering signs" = Jesus performing miracles?
Hm, maybe this song shouldn't be overanalyzed like this.
