Since the dawn of the space age, scientists have been scouring the universe for evidence of alien life and possible attempts at communication by intelligent civilizations in the far reaches of the cosmos. While frustratingly little evidence has been found supporting the existence of intelligent life on other worlds, a handful of strange incidents from over the years point to a tantalizing possibility: that attempts at contact have already been made.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the famous "Fermi Paradox," as well as possible cases involving messages sent toward Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations, and why some scientists haven't ruled out the search for alien technosignatures on mysterious interstellar objects like the unusual comet 3I/ATLAS.
