According to Vorilhon a message of the human origin was dictated to him in December 1973 in personal meetings with a 25.000 year old extraterrestrial who came in a UFO. The story goes that after the terraforming of Earth, humans were created by aliens (the `Elohim') by DNA manipulation. In time, humans themselves will become like the Elohim, creating new races, and having physical immortality by cloning. To this end, they have a number of followers actively researching cloning techniques.
