KEEPING IT RAEL

If you’re looking for a home for the bizarre new cult you’ve started you’ll probably be interested in taking over the land put up for sale by the Raelians. Their 275 acre “UFOLand” theme park in eastern Quebec is on the market for $2.95 million. That price gets you campgrounds, lakes, offices and a replica of the UFO which Rael encountered in 1973 and which led him to create his religion of aliens, telepathy, human cloning and free love. While critics hope this signals a decline of the group, Raelian priest Jocelyn Chabot claims that the Quebec market is saturated and it’s simply time to move to the warmer climate of Las Vegas in order to continue to build their cult in the United States.
