Conspiracy Chronicles 0101: Aliens

This pilot episode looks at whether or not aliens have visited us. Focusing on the science and examining both the pros and cons, Conspiracy Chronicles: Aliens gives a balanced representation of the possibility of extraterrestrials visiting Earth.

The Drake Equation is a formula that calculates the potential number of extraterrestrial civilizations that may be capable of communicating with us. A preliminary estimate shows that there is a huge number of potential earthlike planets. So where are they?

The Fermi Paradox asks that question. There should be millions or even billions of alien civilizations out there. So where is everybody? We’ll look at some possible answers to the Fermi Paradox, including the terrifying Dark Forest hypothesis.

The final possibility is that the aliens may have already visited us, and may still be visiting us. This pilot episode of Conspiracy Chronicles finishes up by looking at the evidence both in favor of and against alien visitations, including how easy it is to fake UFOs and alien encounters through an account of the famous Tin Foil Alien, or Alabama Metal Man.
