Whether it be UFO sightings or abduction reports, some believe extraterrestrial life exists not only within our galaxy, but even our own backyard. Are aliens real? If they are, where would we find them? Why do they insist on ruining our crops with their circles? We will explore the possibilities of intelligent life beyond our solar system!
