"Diplomats and Foreign Affairs officials recently attended our first international online forum to learn from our experts all the steps required to officially welcome human beings from another planet."

Key Points:

"Diplomats and Foreign Affairs officials recently attended our first international online forum to learn from our experts all the steps required to officially welcome human beings from another planet."
"We need to increase their level of awareness about the important issues of international law that should be resolved before any extraterrestrial contact is made."
"For decades now, Raelians have been canvassing countries to consider hosting an Embassy for Extraterrestrials, but in recent years these discussions have been increasing in number and seriousness," said Turcotte.
The Raelian philosophy states that an extraterrestrial civilization, referred to as "Elohim" in the original Hebrew Bible, created all forms of life on Earth including human beings.
