"Are we alone? Are there other intelligent beings like us in the universe?" are some of the questions every human has asked at one point or the other. For decades, we have had no concrete answer to these questions. We've had plenty of conspiracy theories, but none of them have answered the questions convincingly. A new Netflix docuseries... also won't, but will definitely explore them.
Things have begun to change, depending on who you believe. In July, the US Congress held a hearing on UFOs and a whistleblower testified that they are real. Now, the Mexican Congress has also held a hearing on the same subject with researchers coming forward to show what they claim are Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena – or aliens (albeit previously being debunked).
Netflix, in its usual fashion, has taken it upon itself to shed more light on the subject through a docuseries. Titled Encounters, the docuseries features stories of these unidentified phenomena from witnesses in four different locations around the world – Japan, Wales, Zimbabwe, and the USA.
The show's description reads, "ENCOUNTERS is a landmark four-part series that travels the globe to explore four extraordinary true stories of encounters with otherworldly phenomena. Each cinematic and deeply-researched episode tells a single story: strange lights in the sky over small-town Texas; submersible space crafts haunting a coastal Welsh village; an alien encounter in a schoolyard in Zimbabwe; non-human intelligence reportedly interfering with a nuclear power plant in Japan."
