We are in the age of aliens. In literature and movies, on television and the internet, we see images of extraterrestrials everywhere--little green men, tentacled blobs, terrifying creatures with claws and fangs. Aliens fill up our imaginations, urging us to ask and wonder if we're really alone in the cosmos. But whether they're real or not--whether we're alone or not--aliens are here to stay. At least in our minds. That is especially evident in the realm of religion, where countless groups have developed systems of beliefs and practices with UFOS and aliens at the forefront. This class explores these groups, the aliens they worship, as well as the imaginaries that we, on planet earth, have created about life among the stars.
