True crime

On December 13th, 1973, French Journalist Claude Vorilhon claimed to have met extraterrestrials named Elohim while walking along the Puy Lassolas mountain. The Elohim took him on his craft for 6 consecutive days and told him the truth about humanity: that there is no god, the Elohim created humankind in their image, and they wanted Claude to build an embassy for them when they arrived. He attracted a small following of sci-fi fans interested in joining his budding religious movement. Then, on October 7th 1975, the Elohim took him to their planet where they revealed that humanity was in the age of Apocalypse, that all previous prophets were alive through cloning on their planet, and that not only was Claude the brother of Jesus, but that he was the Messiah and was given a new name: Rael. What followed was nearly 40 years of growth, legal issues, jumping countries, and international hoaxes that kept the Raelian movement in the limelight.

Benjaman Kyle’s life began on August 31st, 2004, when he was found naked and unconscious behind a Georgia Burger King. The man, who appeared to be at least 50 years old, had no memory of his life before the moment he was found. His bizarre case would become one of the most well-known instances of amnesia in the United States, if not the world, and the life he was forced to lead in the wake of his memory loss has led to many petitions and discussions regarding what the US Government could or should do with what they call, “an unidentified living person.” 20 years later, we are taking a look at Benjaman’s harrowing journey to find his true identity.
