St. Paul to be site of extraterrestrial embassy?

If we build it, the extraterrestrials will come.
The International Raëlian Movement is calling on Canada to host an "embassy" constructed to encourage the return of the Elohim, an advanced space traveling civilization that its members believe are responsible for life on earth.
Representatives will make an application to the Canadian government for assistance with the project at a press conference called for tomorrow in Ottawa.

Concept for the proposed Elohim Embassy.

"The Canadian government knows that some extraterrestrial civilization shows signs of their presence in the intention to officially contact with the governments of planet Earth, since many UFO sightings have been recorded by the Canadian armed forces," said Raëlian spokesperson Daniel Turcotte.
"This civilization is called Elohim. They are the scientists and artists who created all forms of life on Earth, several thousands of years ago and they want to officially return in the embassy we will build for them when peace will prevail on the Earth."
Turcotte said the movement is requesting four square kilometres of land for the project, as well as a grant of extraterritoriality, "as for all embassies in the world."
In return, Canada would enjoy an immense prestige as an interplanetary hub and benefit from the Elohim's advanced technology in fields including nanotechnology, bio-robotics, energy sources, medicine transport and communications, with an economic impact in the billions of dollars, he declared.
If the Canadian government does give the go ahead for the Elohim Embassy project, a natural location for it would be St. Paul, Alberta.
Situating it in St. Paul would cut infrastructure costs, as the community northeast of Edmonton already has a UFO landing pad on which the Elohim could land their flying saucers when they return. A centennial project, the pad was officially opened by Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer on June 3, 1967.

The community has also taken steps toward extraterritorality.
"The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife," reads a sign next to the pad. "That future travel in space for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."
The International Raëlian Movement was founded in 1974 by French former journalist and racing car driver Claude Vorilhon, who took the name Raël, following what he described as encounters with extraterrestrials who provide him with an understanding of the nature and future of the world.
Tenets of the movement, which is believed to have some tens of thousands of followers in various parts of the world, including a few thousand in Quebec, include striving for world peace, sharing and democracy, support for advanced technology. They also hold positive views of sexuality, with campaigns promoting birth control and toplessness for women.
