You can look it up to get the details. But when I looked into it years ago this is the jist I got.
Some guy was in contact with an alien. That alien told him there was a disk buried halfway across the country. The alien gave him the exact location. People thought he was crazy.
So he went to the spot and started digging. He dug up a highly advanced gold disk of some kind. And the religion started based on that.
Whatever info they got from that disk, one thing is for sure, they are prepping for the end of the world. It's why Mormons have their underground bunkers. The alien or the disk told them to go to Utah because it would be safe.
I'm sure there's more. Anyone care to add or clarify?

My ex husband had a good friend at work who was a life long mormon
The guy lived mormonism and was a missionary in his younger years for many years.
He had the 7 kids he couldn't afford
so, my husband would have him over for dinner sometimes....
He described to us WHAT the mormon religion was all about one night.
He knew a lot because his father was higher up in the church than many get to...
He talked a lot about how they believe in aliens, other planets ...how the angels from other planets come here; the mormon higher ups are actually aliens....
it was all to much ...it was like listening to a sci fi novel at dinner.
