It's been nearly 60 years since the first attempt was made to sift the skies for radio signals that would prove the existence of intelligent beings beyond Earth. So far, nothing has been heard. 

Why? Is it just a matter of pursuing this experiment until we succeed? Could we be ignoring extraterrestrial presence that’s far closer to us? Intriguing gunsight videos released by the U.S. Navy have encouraged many people to think that some UFOs are, in fact, alien craft. 

What does science have to say, and when will we have compelling proof of cosmic company?

We host Dr. Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California.
