LAS VEGAS, May 27 – “Raelians have been getting an increasing number of information requests from China in the past few years because the UFO phenomenon is becoming known to the public in every province there,” said Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, spokesperson of the International Raelian Movement, in a statement released today.

According to several UFO organizations, China is the No. 1 country for UFO sightings today, with more occurring daily.

“The Chinese public’s response to these sightings and to the Raelian explanation of them was anticipated by Rael, our spiritual leader,” Boisselier said. “Indeed, more than 36 years ago, the extraterrestrial scientists who created us told Rael that they would arrange more and more sightings to make the public aware of their existence and facilitate understanding of the Raelian message.”

Boisselier said Rael was also told that China was one of their main targets.

“That’s clearly verifiable now because of all the sightings there,” Boisselier pointed out. “And it’s such a pleasure to inform people like the Chinese about the Raelian teachings. Their minds generally haven’t been polluted by the Western religious teachings, so they have a more rational and open-minded way of looking at the creation of life.”

Boisselier said some articles in the press have stated that the Chinese government has engaged in discussions with the Raelian Movement to consider construction of an extraterrestrial embassy, and that some of those articles include the official Raelian picture of the embassy model.

“We’re in contact with several countries that have expressed an interest in our multi-million project to build the embassy and an adjoining cultural and scientific center where all the newest technologies can be developed,” Boisselier explained. “It’s too early at this stage of our negotiations to say where this embassy will be built. We have specific demands that need to be met before we can make a commitment. But considering the number of UFO sightings in China, we can anticipate that our creators would be happy to land there officially if we wind up building the embassy there.

According to Raelian scriptures, the Raelian Embassy must be built before 2035.
