"What would happen if extraterrestrials made contact with humanity—and what if they have already visited Earth?
From SETI and the search for alien signals to NASA's Voyager Golden Record, the mysterious Wow! signal, Roswell, the Battle of Los Angeles, World War II Foo Fighters, and Britain's Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, Ancient Aliens investigates humanity's attempts to discover intelligent life beyond Earth—and evidence some believe suggests extraterrestrials have already found us.
The episode also examines what first contact with aliens could mean for governments, religion and civilization itself. Scientists debate whether extraterrestrial visitors would arrive as friends or foes, while the Vatican considers the possibility of life beyond Earth. Ancient astronaut theorists point to ancient texts and traditions claiming that beings descended from the heavens thousands of years ago—and promised that one day they would return.
