Throughout time, people have been intrigued by the possibility that we are not alone in the Universe. Usually confined to sci-fi in movies, comic books and TV, the topic is being discussed more and more as non-fiction. According to the Science Channel, "Seventy-four percent of Americans believe in the existence of aliens - and 15 million believe that they have actually made contact with extraterrestrials."
This March, the Science Channel begins a week-long campaign dedicated to satisfying viewers’ appetite for ETs. The week kicks off on Sunday, March 2 at 10 PM ET/PT with the premiere of new episodes of NASA’S UNEXPLAINED FILES, and continues with four more all-new programs including the series CLOSE ENCOUNTERS on Tuesday, March 4 at 10 PM ET/PT and a special premiere episode of THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN on Wednesday, March 5 at 10 PM ET/PT.
“So many people are obsessed with the existence of aliens,” said Debbie Myers, executive vice president and general manager, Science Channel. “ARE WE ALONE? ignites their imaginations with bold new questions, and engages current research happening in the field of extraterrestrial life. It’s programming that asks questions and makes you think. We hope ARE WE ALONE? advances the conversation even further.”
ARE WE ALONE? features world-renowned scientists, leading journalists and alien investigators examining compelling accounts of unusual encounters, strange happenings and possible UFO sightings from around the globe.
ARE WE ALONE? Week Programming Includes:
NASA’S UNEXPLAINED FILES – Sunday, March 2 & Thursday March 6 at 10 PM ET/PT
NASA’S UNEXPLAINED FILES returns with more mysterious encounters, unusual discoveries and strange sightings, straight from NASA’s best and brightest. Tune in for true stories of unexplainable phenomena first observed by the most credible scientific organization in the world.
ALIEN PLANET EARTHS – Monday, March 3 at 10 PM ET/PT
The search for Earth’s twin is one of the hottest topics in science. Just two decades ago, the Earth appeared to be the only planet in the Universe capable of sustaining life. Today, thanks to NASA’s ground-breaking Kepler mission, astronomers believe there are more than 20 billion alien worlds with liquid water and the potential to support life. ALIEN PLANET EARTHS transports viewers across the Milky Way to the surface of newly discovered exoplanets and exomoons using dynamic, state of the art CGI. ALIEN PLANET EARTHS reveals the next crucial steps in our search for alien life on billions of distant worlds.
THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN – Wednesday, March 5 at 10 PM ET/PT
In an all-new episode of the critically acclaimed THROUGH THE WORMHOLE WITH MORGAN FREEMAN, scientists seek answers to the controversial question “Is God An Alien Concept?” Ancient evidence suggests humans have practiced religion since they first walked the planet. But is God being worshipped in other worlds, across the cosmos? Is Earth the Universe’s only home for religion? Or is God an Alien Concept? The answers might be buried here on Earth.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS – Tuesday March 4 & Friday, March 7 at 10 PM & 10:30 PM ET/PT
The Science Channel explores the countless UFO sightings which are reported from thousands of regions around the globe. Many of these sightings are documented and investigated. Most of them can be accounted for by weather patterns, flight schedules or extraordinary imagination. But a select few are still considered unsolved extraterrestrial puzzles that police investigators, government officials and even medical communities cannot explain.
Are ETs really already here? And is the world ready for the implications?
A political activist, Stephen Bassett, believes so. As a leading advocate for ending what he believes is the 67-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, Basset has spoken to audiences around the world about the implications of formal disclosure and has given over 1200 radio and television interviews. He is the executive director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) which recently produced a "Citizen Hearing on Disclosure" at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. On March 31, 2014, PRG will begin a congressional hearing initiative seeking the first hearings on Capitol Hill regarding the ET issue since 1968. More info at www.citizenshearing.org,
