【内容简介】
生活在小小地球上的人类也许并不是浩瀚宇宙中仅有的高智慧生命。地球载着人类在茫茫的宇宙空间里做着不知目的地的漫长旅行，如果这广袤的星空里没有其他生命，人类在这漫长的旅程里岂不是太过孤单？
人类的好奇心是无穷无尽的，有时甚至超过浩瀚无垠的宇宙。外星人真的存在吗？这是近50年来最具诱惑力的问题之一。
随着宇宙科学的发展，人们愈来愈关切在茫茫的大宇宙中，除了地球人之外，究竟有没有“外星人”，或者说是否存在地球之外的智慧生命？如果说“有”，他（她）们究竟是什么模样？生活在宇宙的何方？地球人应怎样寻找他们呢？
人类的历史在宇宙的演化中只是短短的一瞬，现代科学所达到的科技水平只是停留在人类认识宇宙的起步阶段。广袤的宇宙中更为广泛、更为深奥的运动规律尚未被人类所揭示。而且，从另外的角度考虑，既然太阳系这个年轻的天体系统都能够产生高级智慧生命，那么我们有什么理由去怀疑宇宙中的某些行星不会产生生命呢？ 本书选用最新科学观点，为听众朋友们精心解读一本有关外星人与不明飞行物方面的探索书籍，使广大听众朋友能够在聆听本书的同时，感受另类世界的奥妙与神秘。
