Extraterrestrial Life
Are we alone in the universe? This question has obsessed humans since we first looked up into the skies. And as your understanding of the Universe has grown, so has our imagination of what could be out there. Hollywood creations have fueled this collective imagination, lending weight to stories of UFOs and night-time visitations from bug-eyed monsters. Victims of close encounters are convinced of their stories, and scientists have only demystified a few. But as this film reveals, a new theory could finally shed light on the startling reality behind the most convincing encounters-alien abductions. The discovery of strange Earth life flourishing in apparently inhospitable places has prompted scientists to look again at rocks from other planets. Have these rocks been hiding the tell-tale signs of ancient alien life all along? And where are these aliens now? While NASA prepares to search the icy waters of Jupiter's moons, convinced they will find aliens right within our own solar system, other astronomers are searching the distant Universe for the tiny movements of stars that hint of the presence of other Earth-like planets. And if we find alien life, what will it look like? Could Hollywood's humanoid beings have evolved on another planet, or will life be unrecognizable to us? One group of astronomers believes intelligent life may exist, and that it may be trying to contact us. Will we finally find alien life by listening to the stars?
