Raelism, or the Raelian Movement, is another UFO religion and claims to be the largest. The Raelians are the followers of a cult founded in 1974 by the French auto racing journalist Claude Vorilhon. They have had two symbols to represent their cult; a swastika embedded on the Star of David, which was later replaced by a variant star and swirl symbol. They seek to use cloning as a way to achieve immortality. They founded Valiant Venture Ltd Corporation in 1997, to research human cloning. The company changed its name later to Clonaid. The government of France classifies the Raelian Movement as a "secte," meaning "cult."

Claude Vorilhon wrote, "The Message Given by Extra-Terrestrials: At Last Science Replaces Religion," and some other books. Vorilhon, now known as Rael (meaning, "messenger of the Elohim") as he is now known, was allegedly contacted by aliens and told many mysteries; such as life was originally established upon earth some 22,000 +/- years ago through genetic manipulation by extraterrestrials. These aliens desire to return to earth - at Jerusalem in the yet to be built Elohim Embassy where a one world government will be established with is a single currency, language, etc.
