Todd Sampson’s Why? on ABC and ABC iview S1E3 – In the 1950s, a London taxi driver claimed he received a message from outer space. His name was George King, and according to him, the message was not a warning or a threat, but a revelation. Humans were not alone in the universe.
From this encounter, King founded the Aetherius Society, an international religion built on the belief that humanity’s spiritual progress is overseen by higher intelligences from beyond Earth.
What began as one man’s extraordinary claim would grow into a global movement with branches across the world and a devoted following that continues decades after King’s death.
In this episode, Todd Sampson sets out to understand why people believe.
