What is needed, if Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) are ever to be established as extraterrestrial NBC spacecraft, is a solid piece of evidence, something that can be examined and perhaps decoded. Cosmos recreates a famous UFO incident, the claimed abduction of Betty and Barney Hill by extraterrestrial visitors to New Hampshire in 1961. After showing the unreliability of the Hill Incident, Sagan asks: What would the first real contact with extraterrestrial visitors be like? The first interstellar con Prize-winnin- tact is likely to occur in a oneway situation, Sagan says, in that they talk and we listen. This situation resembles the one-wa- y messages we receive from ancient, civilizations on Earth. In particular, it is analogous to the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone by Jean Francois Cham-pollio- n during the 1820s. Sagan suggests that the Rosetta Stone, of interstellar communication is the language of science, the knowledge we share with other civilizations that may exist within our Milky Way galaxy. Can we estimate the number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy? At the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the worlds largest radio telescope, Sagan considers the relevant factors we must estimate to form this number. His conclusion is startling: possibly a million intelligent civilizations exist in our galaxy alone. This number cannot be ACROSS of Our regarded as definitive, Sagan 1 Lives says, but even if the number of civilizations turns out to be 5 Melissa Anderson as little as a thousand, or as much as a hundred million, 8 Sonny's former partner we face the problem of estab12 Woodwind lishing contact with them.
