Episode description

Some scientists are calling for measures to help prevent alien micro-organisms that could prove deadly to humans from ever getting to Earth. Also, a new telescope will soon determine whether there are planets in the Alpha Centauri star system, and whether those planets harbor extraterrestrial life. Finally, a majority of mainstream scientists continue to turn their collective back on the evidence that beings from other planets are present on Earth.
