Extraterrestrial/UFO Religion - CDAMM
Extraterrestrial/UFO religion fuses postwar nuclear anxieties with UFO lore and biblical end-times imagery to cast ETs as saviors and agents of millenarian transformation, tracing its development from 1947 sightings and figures like Kenneth Arnold and Donald Keyhoe through George Adamski’s contactee narratives and Theosophical Venusian Masters to later movements such as Daniel Fry, Truman Bethurum, and Orfeo Angelucci’s messages, Eduard Billy Meier’s Räelianism, and the Räelian Movement, with warnings of doomed planets like Maldek and Clarion and the promise of imminent salvation by Ashtar, Sananda, and other beings via organizations including the Aetherius Society, Unarius, Heaven’s Gate, and related groups, all framed within a broad apocalyptic vocabulary of Armageddon, millenarianism, prophecy, and eschatology.
