UFO Religions: A Scholarly Survey of Contactee Faiths from the 1950s Onward (James R. Lewis, Prometheus Books, 2003)
To the point
James R. Lewis's scholarly study surveys UFO-based religious movements from the 1950s onward, analyzes their origins, development, media influence, and belief systems through detailed case studies of groups such as the Aetherius Society, Unarius, Heaven's Gate, the Raelian Movement, Chen Tao, and the Ground Crew, and offers a nuanced, provisional map of how extraterrestrials intersect religion.
