I first saw Rael at an airport in Dayton. This happened less than a month after he stood trial before an international court for claiming to be the first person to successfully clone a human being.
If you don't know, Rael is the author of several books and the founder of the cult religion, Raelianism, the largest and fastest growing UFO-based religion in the world.
When I saw him, he was dressed in a long white robe with a hood that streched skin-tight around his head. He had a beard and wore a huge metal medalion around his neck that looked similar to but wasn't quite a swastika. I know it was him because I've since seen pictures of him. He was just entering the concourse on his way to catch an international flight.
The books he wrote explain how we were created by aliens and were placed on this planet to mature as a species. Now, we're mature enough to know the truth and Rael was chosen as a prophet to inform us all. He has collected millions of dollars to build an "embassy" for the aliens, where they can land their ships and have a place to stay during their visits to Earth.
The original location of this embassy was originally going to be Israel. (Yes, it IS more than a coincidence, the similarity between "Israel" and "Rael".) They even changed their holy symbol, from a design patterned off the swastika, to a design shaped like a jewish star with a spiral in the center, hoping it would gain the support of the Jewish people.
The reason for Israel to be the chosen place? Israel is in the cradle of civilisation, and one of the Jewish names for God is Elohim. The race of aliens that created mankind told Rael that they are called the Elohim. Perhaps the Jews just got confused over the years... Nevertheless, they said no, repeatedly, despite many hard-to-ignore petitions from Rael and his followers.
But that's okay. The aliens came back and told Rael since the Jews wouldn't let him build on their land, he could build the embassy anywhere he needed to.
With apparently over a million followers worldwide, it is not uncommon to run into Raelians holding elaborate and exotic ceremonies in parks in major cities. Even though this is not the main way they worship, doing this spreads public awareness and brings new people into their movement. These public ceremonies almost always include a de-baptism ceremony.

Did I mention we were created by aliens?
