Through The Wormhole: Season 1 Episode 6

Aliens almost certainly do exist. So why haven’t we yet met E.T.?

As a result, race is on to find the first intelligent aliens. But what would they look like, and how would they interact with us if we met? The answers may come to us sooner than we imagine, for one leading astronomer believes she may already have heard a hint of their first efforts to communicate.
