'Strange worship of aircraft' on the remote island

If Aboriginal people in a tribe who had never been exposed to the civilized world first saw the plane. What will they do?

According to Independent, a religion worshiping planes was initiated by a group of people after first seeing airplanes flying through Vanuatu, an archipelago in the Pacific southwest.

After the aircraft transported food and supplies to the islanders, the group began to believe that the packages would be brought by some savior.

Therefore, every time they see a plane in the sky, they will build a 'copy' of the aircraft in hopes of getting more 'rewards' .

The islanders did not know where these objects came from; This has led them to believe that these objects are due to miracles. This religion was first discovered by the Australian government patrol teams in 1946, and now these religious groups only exist in small but diverse numbers.

It is worth noting that one of the religious cult of these packages was called the John Frum movement , because they believed that Frum, a soldier of World War I, probably only existed statue, is the savior sent to the supreme deity.

Dr. Richard Feynman, an astrophysicist described this worship ritual in a 1974 study in which he wrote: 'During the war, [this religion] witnessed the landing of planes. Bring a lot of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen ".

"So they set up to imitate things like a runway, set fire on the sides of the runway, made a wooden tent for a man to sit in, with two pieces of wood on his head like a boat. headphones and bamboo sticks sticking out like antennas - that's the air traffic controller - and they'll wait for the plane to land ".

"They did everything right. The shape is perfect. It looks exactly the same as before. But it doesn't work. There is no plane landing. So I call these things the science of worshiping packages. because they follow the shape of everything they perceive and all forms of scientific investigation, but they are missing something essential, because the planes don't land. "

Ian Haworth, an expert on worship psychology, said: 'There are 5 characteristics that make up worship. Cult is a group using coercive coercive techniques to use psychology and other forms. "

'In my opinion, it does not seem to be a cult, it is not a cult according to our definition. They received a worship system ".

Haworth thinks that this group is "more like a cult than a cult."

He added: 'People can find denominations in every religion. The pyramid system has a pyramid structure with an authority in the highest position. '
