"God helped me find the perfect pair of shoes" is an untestable, unscientific claim.

Whether you believe or not in god (and that he will busy himself with finding shoes for you), everyone will agree this is firmly outside the realm of science. So if we're writing this kind of assertions in a conversation about UAPs/ETs, what does this say about the latter?

I don't think proponents of UAPs (especially UAPs-as-ETs) want them to be put side by side with "Jesus speaks to me".

Jesus doesn’t show up on radar.
Unfortunately for you I was responding to "how do you know [God] didn't help with finding your shoes?", so your statement reads like a non sequitur.
Sounds like a you problem.
I replied to something about God (that it's best not to conflate him with discussions about hard evidence for UAPs and/or ETs), you replied with a complete non sequitur and it's my problem? How, exactly?
