Close Encounters and Alien Abductions

Are aliens abducting humans? Skeptics argue these claims are inspired by pop culture, but scientists want to know if ET could survive the voyage.

Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting episode from the acclaimed National Geographic Channel documentary series Naked Science, which investigates alien abductions and other claims of close encounters of the third kind.

The Flying Saucers of Walt Disney

"Mankind is in the midst of the most profound event in history – actual contact with intelligent life from other planets. For nearly 50 years, officials have been documenting routine alien encounters here on earth, and thousands of people have seen or experienced this alien presence. Yet many others still refuse to acknowledge the obvious evidence all around them. From beyond the boundaries of our perceptions, intelligent beings are beckoning mankind to join the galactic community."

What if we make Alien Contact?

This is a documentary well worth watching and is full of interesting surprises.
