Why do so many people claim to have been visited or abducted by aliens? Are these sightings mere hallucinations or something more? Experts interviewed consider most to have been concocted by the brain operating in a culture awash in UFO images and folklore. Studies show that dreams can be triggered by something as simple as electromagnetic waves. But if aliens want to contact us, how can they do this? One way is through radio waves. SETI investigators scan the skies searching for a signal from intelligent life form. Perhaps beings more advanced have discovered how to manipulate time and space to find shortcuts to overcome the barrier of distance between locations in the universe. Or maybe they have sent tiny robots to investigate our planet.moreless

It's hard to give this episode much credit when it gives more time to a paid skeptic than a theoretical physicist.

It's hard to give this episode much credit when it gives more time to a paid skeptic than a theoretical physicist. Michael Schermer is paid to shoot anything out of the ordinary down, and runs a magazine doing just that. Michio Kaku on the other hand is a well respected physicist. There is also way more good evidence of Alien visitation than this show would have you believe. For example the little information it gives on the Rendlesham Forest incident is sad to say the least. Do any amount of research and you'll learn that Colonel Charles Halt was in charge of a nuclear missile base, not just some lack. And they don't bother to mention the soldier who touched a craft on the ground and took notes of symbols on it there before Halt went to check it out? How could you leave that out? Very lame.moreless
