The account
The society, one of the oldest UFO religions, holds that beings from Venus and other planets guide humanity. It organised 'operations' to send spiritual energy and still runs centres in London and Los Angeles.
The sceptical view
The messages rest wholly on King's trance claims; scholars study the group as a new religious movement.
