The Close Up programme June 4 2010, showing another crack-pot cult. The Aetherius Soc (founder George King) storing electricity from LA, and in touch with extraterrestrials! What absolute nonsense!
Common sense, which they lack, to read up about the cosmos and distances from our world to the nearest star – sun, is 4.3 light years. Imagine a space capsule travelling at 45,000km per hour, it would take about 100,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri, assuming that there is a planet with life on.
So where do those alleged 'extraterrestrials” (who they are so adamant about) come from? Answer – they are non existent! Not one ‘alien' has ever landed on Earth, the whole subject is preposterous, and as for UFOs, again, all have proved false! They remain in the minds of the beholders.
