Aliens might be real, however, they might be speaking to us through a French guy named Claude.
Claude Vorilhon, now known as Raël, claims to have been visited by the Elohim, a French-speaking alien species, in 1973. Raël says he is the “final prophet” – after Buddha and Jesus – and his mission is to spread joy, and sexual liberation, and to build a giant futuristic embassy to welcome the aliens when they return to Earth. Raëlism also claims to clone sheep and babies, and they’re trying to rehabilitate the SS as a positive symbol.
There’s quite a lot to unpack with this group, so check out the pictures, learn their message, and get ready to welcome back our alien creators.

Office life isn’t about synergy or team-building — it’s about surviving the absurd with just enough sarcasm to stay sane. And maybe, just maybe, claiming the least suspicious container in the fridge before it becomes self-aware.
