Abstract
This UFO cult has been much in the news of late. Of special note in this paper is the very positive redefinition of the role of seeker. Also, the puzzling finding that affective ties between converts and group members seem unnecessary for conversion to occur is discussed, along with the similarly disconcerting idea that the group lacks ritual behavior.
