The Aetherius Society and alleged extraterrestrial transmissions

Record summary

George King founded the Aetherius Society in London in the 1950s after claiming telepathic contact with advanced extraterrestrial and spiritual beings. The organization combined yoga, Theosophical ideas, Christian language, ritual prayer, sacred mountains, and purported cosmic missions. It offers a useful comparative case for studying charismatic transmission, technological cosmology, and organized ritual responses to alleged space visitors. The timing and form of early communications, as well as the movement’s institutional changes, should be established from its archives and independent histories.
