The People Who Worship Aliens as Gods
[8:02]
So far, the concept of aliens in popular culture has largely been limited to little green, probing perverts from sci-fi and the rantings of conspiracy theorists.

VICE’s Amelia Dimoldenberg has the honour of being invited to their annual pilgrimage to Holdstone Down in Devon, the place where Jesus first came down in a spaceship from Venus. She is witness to Operation Prayer Power, a ritual where a ‘prayer battery’s’ energy is charged so that it can be directed by Extraterrestrials to help mankind.
