Seventy-four percent of Americans believe in the existence of aliens – and 15 million believe that they have actually made contact with extraterrestrials.

This March, Science Channel returns with its programming event dedicated to one of mankind’s most pressing questions with Are We Alone? – a week-long campaign dedicated to satisfying viewers’ appetite for aliens.

The week kicks off on March 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT with the premiere of new episodes of NASA’S Unexplained Files, and continues with four more all-new programs including the series Close Encounters on March 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT and a special premiere episode of Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman on March 5.

“So many people are obsessed with the existence of aliens,” said Debbie Myers, executive vice president and general manager, Science Channel. “Are We Alone? ignites their imaginations with bold new questions, and engages current research happening in the field of extraterrestrial life. It’s programming that asks questions and makes you think.  We hope Are We Alone? advances the conversation even further.”

The show features world-renowned scientists, leading journalists and alien investigators examining compelling accounts of unusual encounters, strange happenings and possible UFO sightings from around the globe.
