Long before Fox Mulder uttered that iconic phase on 90's cult classic series "The X-Files", the people from SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) were painstakingly exploring space, listening and looking for any possible sign of alien life. But did they miss something? Could "contact" have already been made? Richard and Peter are on the case, as they welcome SETI chair Andrew Siemion to "What If Discussed" to talk about alien life and not IF but WHEN they expect to discover Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Also joining them is author Sarah Scoles, whose book "They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers" will take us on a wild ride through the UFO community.
