AE - Other World UFOS The First Encounters

Have we ever been visited by beings from another world? And, if so, is it possible that extraterrestrials have actually influenced the course of human history? In this compelling program, confront these and other puzzling questions about the existence of life beyond our home planet. Although experts today have been able to decipher artifacts and ruins from once flourishing ancient civilizations, questions remain as to why so many monuments of antiquity seem to refer to certain stars in the sky. UFOs: THE FIRST ENCOUNTERS investigates several early texts and their curious references to strange flying objects, while confronting the age-old question: Are we truly alone or have we been visited by travelers from other worlds for thousands of years? Join A&E as it attempts to unravel the great mysteries of Earth's first encounters with life beyond our borders.DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection
