PBS' NOVA Asks: What Are UFOs?

Unidentified Flying Objects have long captivated the imagination of the public, but for decades most scientists treated the subject as taboo. Now, these mysterious phenomena are moving out of the shadows and into the light, as NASA pledges to study them scientifically. So, what exactly does science have to say on the matter? Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Terri Randall, the writer and director of a new science documentary called “What Are UFOs” which will premiere on the award-winning PBS science series NOVA on January 22. This new NOVA investigation looks at the evidence from every angle, marshaling expert opinions from physicists, engineers, cosmologists, and others who are bringing new technologies and heightened rigor to solving these mysteries. “What Are UFOs?” features interviews with several of the distinguished scientists that NASA brought together to examine the UFO mystery and goes on to examine why the US government continued to be so elusive about rumored UFO sightings for many decades.
