Clones e messianismos extraterrestres
Abstract
The text analyzes briefly the recent reappearance of messianic formulas proposed by groups that deify entities presumed as “Unknown Superiors” of extraterrestrial origin. The author justified the insert of the Real Movement in the picture of the “New Religious Movements” under the technician-scientific background of the western civilization. It is also shortly described some social lines of their supporters. The “contactee” phenomenon strongly personified by the Rael leader suggest that the Realian Movement embodies the specific criteria of Milenarism.
