SUMMARY:Aliens! It's (almost) Never Aliens!
DESCRIPTION:Aliens! It’s (almost) Never Aliens! \n\nFrom mysterious light
 s in the sky to bizarre signals from distant stars\, history is full of 
 moments when scientists and the public alike explained phenomena by clai
 ming “it must be extraterrestrials”\, only to discover a perfectly natur
 al explanation later. Join Dr. Brand Fortner as he takes you on a whirlw
 ind tour of 5 fascinating cases–the Viking Lander\, the Mars rock\, life
  on Europa\, Roswell\, Gimbal videos--where the truth turned out to be s
 tranger (and more satisfying) than fiction. This lecture is part science
 \, part detective story\, and a whole lot of fun! Bring your curiosity–a
 nd leave your tinfoil hat at home! \n\nBrand Fortner is a teaching profe
 ssor at NC State University\, where he teaches astronomy\, astrophysics 
 and physics\, and is an adjunct professor of physics at UNC. He earned a
  Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in high-energy astrophysics. Bran
 d founded two scientific software companies and previously held position
 s at NASA and Johns Hopkins University. Brand has written books on color
  vision and technical data and is in high demand for his public lectures
  on all things astronomical. \n\n \n\nBefore the lecture fly by Maker
