UFOs as a new religion
UFO religion, as its name implies, is any religion with the beliefs centered around aliens and UFOs. Although raelizm and the infamous "Heaven's Gate Cult" are two of the most famous UFO religions, they do not in any way the craziest. In the world there are many other UFO religions that are just as (if not more) insane, like two religions, the above combined.
1. Chen Tao (The Right Way)
Formed in 1993, and the now-defunct Taiwanese cult, which used to believe in some very strange doctrine outlined the founder of the cult, a former teacher of sociology Hong Min Chen. Mixing beliefs of Christianity, Buddhism and UFOs, Chen came up with many strange principles. These included the idea that nuclear war - has created the solar system, and destroyed four different time periods, and that God - took the few survivors in a flying saucer. Chen blamed these disasters, and other problems that afflict humanity, to corrupt the souls of men, and devils, known as the "Royal devils».
In addition to the crazy beliefs, the group has been recognized also for the fact that the announced end of the world will come in the last week of March 1988. Chen believed that God would appear on television around the world, and shortly thereafter followed by a nuclear war and natural disasters. In 1996, Chen and his followers moved to Garland, Texas. They believed that this place as "God's Land", will protect them from the impending apocalypse. Unfortunately for believers, God was too shy to appear on camera, and the world - continues to rotate and after March 31, the predicted doomsday date. After this fiasco, the group quietly sunk into oblivion, and have not heard of them since 2001.
2. Order "Fiat lux»
Translated from the Latin "Fiat Lux" means "Let there be light." The Order has its humble beginnings in 1973, when its founder, the Swiss secretary Eric Bertshinger fell on his head while riding. Later, she discovered that she was the Virgin Mary, and was able to communicate with the transcendent beings, such as Jesus Christ. Changed his name to name Uriella it in 1980 created a very ascetic group, and later - has transformed its headquarters, in the Black Forest in Germany.
Uriella and her followers believed that the world - will be destroyed in mid-1988, the Nazi flying saucers and natural disasters. They also believed that the friendly aliens come to save a select few, and use them to populate the new paradise on earth. However, when the appointed time has come and gone, Uriella told his followers that God - temporarily postponed the event because all of them - bad prayed. Since then the group has disappeared, without waiting for the time when it's the other end of the world.
3. Academy of Sciences "Yunarius»
Founded in San Diego in 1954, husband and wife Ernest and Ruth Normans (who claimed to be reincarnations of famous historical figures) - Academy of Sciences "Yunarius" adheres very strange beliefs.

Claiming that they - the scientific group and not a religion, they also teach their members' interdimensional physics ", which, they claim, can answer all questions about the universe and our existence.
In addition, "yunariantsy" believe that the Earth will soon return to a coalition of planets that broke up hundreds of thousands of years ago, and that this event - will open an era of prosperity. They predicted it was going to happen in 2001, with the planting of several ships. When this did not happen, they later explained by the fact that the attacks of 9/11 showed aliens that humanity - is not yet ready to to reunite with them, and this event has been postponed.
4. "External spatial forces»
For eight years to an incredibly bloody "in Waco Siege," as frightening event occurred when the authorities searched the forest stock owned by Orville Gordon, founder of the "Outer space forces." Gordon created a group somewhere in 1960, when he became convinced that the representatives of an extraterrestrial civilization (known as the "Outer space forces") can start Armageddon after they saw how bad people are turning to the Earth.
Calling himself Nodrog (a "Gordon" backwards), he turned his property into a UFO landing base called "Base-Time Ark Armageddon." He believed that he and his followers will be picked up by aliens and taken away in a safe place during the end of the world. The band also gained notoriety after one of its members found a homemade bomb in the car of the former mayor in 1980 after he attempted to buy a lumberyard, and make it a shopping center. It is believed that in the 90th Gordon died, and was buried somewhere in the area of your site. Group - exists to this day, and its members even hold your own website.
5. Family Community "One World»
If there is any religion that best combines lifestyle hippies, communists and UFOs, it is - it is.
