Today on Far Future Horizons we kick off Alien Encounters week and explore the exciting hypothetical scenario of
humanity’s first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. For centuries,
humankind has looked to the skies and wondered, "Are we alone in the
universe?"

In the documentaries we are presenting this week, we
join distinguished scientists in examining how extraterrestrials might
communicate with Earth and discuss the ramifications on human society if the
aliens answer humanity's call and arrive on our celestial doorstep. Will first
contact prove to be the dawn of an exciting new era of peace and prosperity for
humankind or the prelude to a devastating alien invasion?
