The problem is that if it is some sort of alien, the story doesn't make any sense - the thing clearly wants or needs to be exorcised by a priest to escape its imprisonment. That seems like pretty clear evidence that it really is something supernatural.
Its true nature isn't left open - it pretty much has to be a demon and no other options are considered.
