What motivates the fantastical & sometimes sinister beliefs of UFO worshippers? UFO Religions critically examines some of the issues surrounding UFO worship--abduction narratives, UFO-based interpretations of other religions, the growth of pseudo-sciences purporting to explain UFOs & the responses of the core scientific community to such claims.
