Scientists have been searching for aliens in our solar system and beyond, but have not yet found evidence that life exists beyond Earth. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been scanning the stars for alien radio beacons for 50 years.

Neil and Lynne review the methods used to locate aliens, and discuss what to do if you’re ever abducted.
