Summary

Are we alone in the universe? Could intelligent aliens exist somewhere in the cosmos, and how close are we to finally discovering them? Or is it even possible that intelligent aliens are already in our own back yard, and have been visiting Earth, as evidenced by decades of sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UFOs?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we are joined by astrophysicist Adam Frank, a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars like the sun and one of the leaders of the Categorizing Atmospheric Technosignatures (CATS) project. Frank is also author of "The Little Book of Aliens," and joins us to discuss SETI, UAP, and the search for alien life throughout the cosmos.
