Description

Bigfoot researchers remain optimistic that Sasquatch is out there; that the creature will one day be found. Why? Why do people continue to believe? We’ll talk to professional skeptic Michael Shermer about the nature of belief. And we’ll look at why—even for those who think Bigfoot is a complete myth—the idea of Bigfoot holds so much appeal. What makes us so fascinated by this creature? Why do we want so badly to believe that it’s out there?

Think there’s aliens out there? Stories of UFOs and alien encounters abound—and some are even believable. Now, armed with state-of-the-art technology, the search for extraterrestrials (one-celled and big-brained) is on the move. For Wild Thing: Space Invaders, host Laura Krantz turns her gaze skyward. Is there life on other planets? Has it visited us? Why do we want to find it? And what does it mean if we don’t? We’ll explore the science and culture of this universe of possibilities—and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.
