A growing number of humans think that they are aliens living on Earth.
The group, known as starseeds, claim to have been sent from space to guide mankind into a "golden age" of prosperity and happiness.
Starseeds are able to communicate using 'light language', which goes beyond human limitations and speaks to a person's soul.
Telltale signs for members of the group are feeling a lack of belonging, being spiritual, believing in karma and searching for meaning in life.
Starseeds often get overwhelmed and unwind by spending time alone.
Experts from Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Huddersfield said: "Starseeds believe they have reawakened from another planet to be born here. They believe they can transport between galaxies via meditation."
The findings follow a recent poll which revealed that half of Britons think aliens exist and seven per cent are convinced that they have seen a UFO.
