UFO religiosity here is not limited to the belief in aliens-cum-spacecraft but may also involve extraterrestrial entities in the absence of related vehicles and vice versa. This chapter is a first tour d’horizon of a subject hitherto not systematically researched by scholars of East Asian religions. Several movements of East Asian origin (Japan, China/ Taiwan, South Korea) are introduced with a focus on their ufological aspects. Particular emphasis is given to the Japanese context where UFO religiosity thus far has taken its most expressive form. East Asian ethnic UFO religiosity aside, a number of western UFO groups are visibly active in the region, such as most sizeably Scientology (operating branches in Japan: Saientorojī サイエントロジー, https://www.scientology .jp/; South Korea: Saiŏnt’ollojigyo 사이언톨로지교; Taiwan: Shāndájī Jiàohuì 山達基教會, https://www.scientology.org.tw/; and Vietnam: Khoa luận giáo) and Raelism (present in Japan: Raerian Mūbumento ラエリアンムーブメント, https://www.raelianjapan.jp/; South Korea: Raellian Mubŭmŏnt’ŭ 라엘리안 무브먼트, http://www.raelian.co.kr/; Taiwan: Léiěr Yùndòng 雷爾運動, https:// tw.rael.org/; and Vietnam: Phong trào Rael, https://vi.rael.org/) with both having several hundreds to thousands of adherents altogether. Smaller groups with local followings going into the dozens comprise, among others, Benjamin Creme’s (1922–2016) Share International (Japan: Shea Intānashonaru シェア インターナショナル, http://www.sjsh.co.jp/; allegedly also being active in South Korea and Taiwan); Eduard Albert “Billy” Meier’s (b. 1937) FIGU or Freie Interessengemeinschaft für Grenzund Geisteswissenschaften und Ufologiestudien (Japan: Figu Randesuguruppe Yāpan フィグ ランデスグルッペ ヤーパン, http://jp.figu.org/); and George King’s (1919–1997) Aetherius Society (Japan: Aseriasu Sosaetī アセリアス・ソサエティー, https://www.aetherius.org/ jp/).

Pokorny 2021) highlights the vitally important role played by humankind’s “Space Brothers.” This chapter focuses on them and the wider ufological context in Creme’s teachings.1 Born on 5 December 1922, into a Jewish-Catholic family as the second, and only boy, of three children in Glasgow,2 Creme—by his own account—early on attracted the attention of the “Hierarchy” and, in particular, his later unnamed Master.3 Already as a teenager he was resolved to become a painter, a career path that was allegedly prompted by the Hierarchy.
