Aetherius Society
The Aetherius Society is a UFO religion[2][3][4][5] founded by George King in 1954[6] (or 1955),[7] combining UFO claims, yoga, and ideas from various world religions,[6][7] notably Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Theosophy.[8] The religion's stated goal is to prevent the annihilation of the Earth by improving cooperation between humanity and various alien species,[6] and by improving the spiritual lives of the world.[5] The society has claimed that various disasters may be prevented by prayer, often aided by "Spiritual Energy Batteries" meant to store healing psychic energy[5] The society also believes that it is to make the way for the "Next Master," a messianic figure who will descend upon Earth in a flying saucer, possessing magic more powerful than all the world's armies.[9] The society is named after Aetherius, a being King claims to have telepathically contacted and channeled.
