"UFO Religion" refers to belief systems that incorporate the existence of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial beings into their spiritual or religious frameworks. These movements often claim that advanced alien civilizations have a role in human evolution, spiritual enlightenment, or salvation. Followers may believe in messages or teachings from these extraterrestrial entities, often conveyed through contact experiences or channeling. One of the most notable examples of UFO Religion is the Raelism movement, founded by Claude Vorilhon in the 1970s. Raelism teaches that life on Earth was created by extraterrestrial beings called the Elohim, who will return to guide humanity. Other groups, like the Heaven's Gate cult, have also integrated UFO beliefs into their doctrines, often leading to unique practices and communal living arrangements.
