Space Invaders

Strange flying objects have been caught on NASA’s cameras and astronauts have reported seeing UFOs. Some can be identified; others remain a mystery. We’ll reveal NASA footage and interview the astronauts and scientists.

Astronaut Leroy Chao’s spacewalk is interrupted by bright lights flying past. A flying saucer photographed from the Apollo capsule, dark shapes caught on camera shadowing the shuttle. The ideas are science fiction, but the incidents are science fact.

The Viking Lander may have found life on Mars, so why don’t we know about it? What is the most destructive force in the universe? How could a starship be seen in the Aurora Borealis? And what are NASA’s mysterious Moon Pigeons?

A chunk of the sun appears to have vanished. An ominous dark craft beneath the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Hubble spots thousands of unidentified objects traveling faster than light. Are we being watched?

A distant planet shows evidence of an Earth-like atmosphere, while a mysterious light suggests an atmosphere on the Moon. Have we found evidence of a crashed alien ship in the asteroid belt? Why are there "blueberries" on Mars?

Could spaceships be powered by atomic bombs? Can artificial rings encircle an entire star? why was Neil Armstrong’s transmission feed cut off when he spotted strange lights on the Moon? And how can lightning talk to itself?

What could make a NASA astronaut report seeing a flying saucer in the skies above a US Air Force test range? How have the swirling gases of Saturn formed a perfect Hexagon that has hovered above the planet’s pole for 30 years?

Amateur and professional scientists share their experimental exploits.

Amateur scientists put their bodies on the line for science experiments.

What would happen if we got a message from space? How would we react? Scientists and sci-fi writers, with cooperation from SETI and Carl Sagan's son, Nick, unravel the impact of this world changing event, forming an intriguing hypothetical scenario

How will humans react when an alien spacecraft is on its way to Earth? Will humans learn from aliens, or become colonial subjects? Scientists and sci-fi writers, with cooperation from SETI and Carl Sagan's son, Nick, unravel the impact.
