Are We Really Alone in the Universe? Are we really alone in the universe - or have we already been visited? In this solo episode of The Social Link, Kai dives into the world of aliens and UFOs, from famous encounters like Roswell and Australia’s Westall UFO incident to New Zealand’s mysterious Kaikōura Lights. We explore theories about what extraterrestrial life could look like, why an advanced civilisation might be avoiding us, whether ancient stories of gods, angels and demons could have another explanation, and what would actually happen if aliens were confirmed tomorrow.
