UFO - Above & Beyond

UFO - Above & Beyond. James Doohan - "Scotty" from Star Trek - hosts this documentary that contains some of the best examples of UFO footage. It rehashes classic events or ancient cave paintings depicting alien craft and entities, as well as more contemporary sightings and oddities - such as events seen over Phoenix, Miami and Las Vegas.

No exploration; no migration; no colonization. Any intelligent life is pretty much going to be confined to their very own planetary abode or solar system.

That's
