Aliens on Earth: First encounter with intelligent life according to experts (full documentary)

Earth may not have been visited by aliens, but since the invention of radio and television, humans have been broadcasting signals into space, announcing our existence to other civilizations. So the question isn't “What would happen if it occurs?” but rather “When will it happen?” With unprecedented access to figures such as the Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, experts from NASA, the International Space University (ISU), the SETI Institute, and military advisors, the film constructs an eerily plausible scenario of first contact on Earth, starting with the most fundamental questions: Why are they here? How do they think? What do they see in humans that we don’t see in ourselves? The implications unfold into a hallucinatory mental landscape of sounds and everyday images transformed into something extraordinary, seen through the eyes of a life form exploring our planet for the very first time. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – The Visit ▷ 0:01:38 – First Encounter ▷ 0:03:28 – Ask Without Answers ▷ 0:05:35 – An Alien Encounter ▷ 0:10:00 – Prepared to Defend ▷ 0:15:55

Between Heaven and Earth | Badass Professions (5/6)

Wind power service engineers must not be afraid of heights. Because their workplace is around 100 meters above the ground, on the operating nacelle. They must not have weak nerves, either during maintenance or repair, because no scaffolding will help them where they work. For their work on wind turbines, however, the technicians not only have to be good with climbing ropes; craftsmanship is also required. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:44 - Between Heaven and Earth | Badass Professions (5/6) ▷ 44:50 - Credits ------- ------- They are nothing for the faint-hearted: badass professions that demand everything from the men who practice them. They demand strength, concentration, physical endurance, and take place in dangerous conditions, powerful odors and filthy work environments. Men who work in these fields are rarely envied. How does one cope with such jobs? We give close-up insights into a world full of dangerous work. We accompany three men with badass professions in their everyday working lives – from professional diver and metal caster to explosive ordnance disposal specialist. Original Title - Between Heaven
