In Alien Worlds, leading scientists from all over the globe report from the Planetary Investigation Lab – where they assess the most likely locations for extra-terrestrial life. Under investigation are two new planets, the Blue Moon, world of flyers, and Aurelia, the land of light and dark.
Using the latest computer generated imaging (CGI) and 3-D effects, Alien Worlds takes you on a galactic journey to these new planets and brings you face to face with alien life forms – like the skywhales, gulphogs, stinger fans, and caped stalkers.
On Aurelia, the land of light and darkness, you’ll encounter six-legged mudpods, the killer hysteria and the creeping stinger fans. And this is no fantasy. . . scientists believe we could discover worlds like them in the next 10 years.
