Mars Wants What?
Despite what so many books and movies have insisted, aliens are probably not interested in our water, our women or our gold. What are some legitimate reasons for alien contact or invasion? Are there any writers or filmmakers who got the aliens’ motivations right? And what was that green flash in the sky last night?
