Before Watching
Have students draw images of space creatures that they may have seen in
books, on television, or in movies. What are some of the similarities and
differences among these images? How do these images assume alien life might
look? On what might these assumptions be based? As they watch the program, have
students concentrate on what the abductees claim to have seen and experienced
and how scientists respond. If students have ever heard stories of people who thought they saw
extraterrestrials, have them share some of the details of those stories. What
facts would students like to know about someone who claims to have been
abducted? As they view the program, have students keep track of the kinds of
details abductees remember and how those memories are retrieved.
After Watching
After observing the various people presented in the program, discuss which
individuals and what type of evidence students think are the most reliable and
why. Have them also discuss which ones are the least reliable and why. Then
have students list criteria they would need to believe these stories.
