"Sagan questions the existence of alien intelligence and possibility of communicating with alien life forms and UFOs. To explore these issues we journey to ancient Egypt to decode mysterious hieroglyphics and then to the largest radio telescope on earth to begin a journey through the imagination to alien civilizations throughout the universe."

"Beginning with the scrutiny of a notorious UFO incident and the unsubstantiated theories of von Daniken, this episode explores the probable nature of intelligent civilizations in the universe and the means by which contact might be made. Dr. Sagan notes that the "Rosetta Stone" for interstellar communication is likely to involve the laws of physics--shared observations about the universe, such as the spectra of the elements and the constant speed of light. At the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, Dr. Sagan programs the world's largest radio telescope to listen to a hitherto unexamined star for signs of intelligent life."@en
