To many readers' surprise and to some readers' disappointment, The URANTIA Book received some media coverage in 1997. Two Colorado newspapers had articles reporting that some book readers want to start a new religion and establish churches. There were also reports on radio and television that there is a connection between The URANTIA Book and space aliens. To avoid misinformation, before the programs were aired, the Foundation sent explanations to the media about the book, its teachings, and the Foundation's policies on the dissemination of the teachings. The media seemed to prefer, however, sensationalism to the Foundation's conservative approach.
