Print this page Are We Alone in the Universe?

NASA and the US government have released many examples of previously classified footage of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, along with interviews and transcripts. Does this evidence show that we are not alone in the universe? We examine the question carefully: what life in the universe means, the possibility of life on other planets, and the existing evidence and testimony, learning how to weigh it critically and draw sound conclusions. Join us and find out.
