The so-called "flying saucer era" began in 1946/47 with reports from Sweden and the U.S. of odd disk-and-rocket-like objects flying overhead. Over the next seventy years, claims of unidentified flying objects from space, encounters with aliens, and ancient astronauts inspired a worldwide obsession. Join us for an in-depth look at the rise, spread, and seeming fall of the UFO and alien contact phenomenon.
