UFO Religion: Extraterrestrial Contact, Millennial Hope, and Modern Movements

To the point

UFO religion is a belief system where aliens are thought to contact humans to help humanity evolve and address social problems, with contact through physical encounters, telepathy, or astral projection, and groups such as the Aetherius Society and Raëlism, while scholars like Christopher Partridge and J. Gordon Melton see it as part of the broader New Age and esoteric tradition that grew after the Roswell incident.

UFO religion - Wikipedia

UFO religion is a belief system in which extraterrestrials and their communication with humans center the worldview, positing that aliens care about humanity's welfare or evolution into an extraterrestrial civilization and can resolve social ills through superior technology and spiritual insight, with contact described as physical, telepathic, or astral projection, millenarian hopes of transformation via contact, and notable groups such as the Aetherius Society, Raëlism, Heaven's Gate, and the Order of the Solar Temple (occasionally linked to Scientology), as analyzed by scholars like Christopher Partridge and J. Gordon Melton who place these movements within wider theosophical esotericism and New Age currents since the 1950s.
