A fascinating article from 2019 about Buddhist space aliens seeking contact in a small town in Thailand, about a three hour journey from Bangkok. Note that the new religious group worshipping these spiritual entities explicitly refer to them as aliens and their vehicles as UFOs! The space brothers supposedly appear on a hill where there is a Buddha statue and a ditto footprint.
The whole thing sounds like a combination of traditional Buddhist beliefs, New Age channeling and the American UFO phenomenon.
The Hindu teacher Sadhguru is also into this kind of syncretism, but I´m not sure if the videos of his visits to Lake Manasarovar in Tibet are still up at YouTube...
