Singh came to the U.S. from Nepal in 1999 and now works for two nonprofits in the Washington area. He also serves as a guide — the equivalent of a priest — in the Raelian Movement. The D.C. region has about 10 active Raelians, he says, though the religion claims 70,000 members worldwide.

Raelism is a “UFO religion.” What do you believe?
