What happens when we discover evidence of intelligent life in the universe?

Science fiction is a fascinating way to explore the ‘what-if’ scenarios of life in the universe. This project explores one possible scenario for That day when we discover evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life and the possible or probable responses to such an event. 

What will the first 24 hours sound like?

An original science audio drama, That day is a series that dares you to experience the first twenty-four hours when the unimaginable becomes undeniable. 

Witness the world responding to a profound scientific discovery in a mix of speculative fiction with the voices of real scientists and experts at the vanguard of breakthrough research today.

  • How does a news desk prepare for that breaking news?

  • How will our conversations change?

  • Who will speak for science, communities of faith, and the people of Earth?

  • How do we even confirm that the evidence is real?


That day, when the world as you know it will never sound the same again.
