These two episodes of ALIEN ENCOUNTERS begin where the first two episodes left off. A swarm of alien spacecraft hover in the Earth's atmosphere and suddenly deposit thousands of mysterious capsules on the surface. As the mother ship floats ominously silent in Earth's orbit the capsules begin to split and multiply as humans scramble to brace for the unknown. How will mankind respond to the extraterrestrial presence? Will humans panic in fear or show restraint? How will humans understand the alien's motives if there is no common language or technology? What happens when mankind sends an ambassador shuttle to the mother ship? Through cutting-edge science and dramatic science fiction, ALIEN ENCOUNTERS examines these exciting questions and more.
