Narrated by Jeri Ryan (Star Trek, Voyager), this program features stunning visualizations, state-of-the-art animation, and interviews with the top experts in the field of science, technology and UFOology—including a talk with Jill Tarter (the real-life inspiration for the book and film Contact). Initially broadcast on The Learning Channel, UFOs & Aliens includes clips from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Orson Welles in his War of the Worlds prime.
