We will never stop wondering if aliens exist — and this new Netflix docuseries is here to galvanize our imaginations and raise endless new questions. Produced by Boardwalk Pictures, Vice Studios, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, Encounters is a four-part show where every episode looks at an abnormal sighting. From whistleblowers to Pentagon documents, all the way to eyewitnesses who have seen strange phenomena firsthand, the heavily-researched show looks at evidence to try to analyze and explain these events. While these alleged sightings have been dismissed for decades as conspiracy theories and delirious fantasies, the show addresses this by considering how human beings are not the center of the universe. In each of the four parts of the show, we are transported to a different place around the world where bizarre sightings have been witnessed over the decades. From a village in Wales to a schoolyard in Zimbabwe, a nuclear plant in Japan to a town in Texas, the accounts all seem to converge: Extraterrestrials do exist and humanity is not alone.
