Science Channel, 8:00 p.m. ET
Folllowing this two-hour documentary about the possibility of life on other planets, a new episode of Alien Encounters listens closely to what it hopes is a message from space. “CTA-102, we’re over here receiving you!” No, wait – that’s a song by The Byrds, written and recorded the first time we paid attention to potentially intelligent signals from beyond. But that was during the Sixties, when lots of people could hear and see unexpected things just about everywhere they looked. Or listened.
