We're always had a love-hate relationship with aliens. From the evil intentions of the creatures in the movie Alien to the heartwarming relationship that we all had with E.T., The Extra Terrestrial, nothing captures our imagination like the depictions of beings from other planets. 

In this quiz, we'll ask about the aliens among us: in films, TV, pop culture, music, and anywhere else where life in outer space has been depicted.


I'm a 3-time Emmy-winning game show producer, writer, director and published author. I dig traveling, watching hockey, photographing wildlife and exploring the cultural and social fabric of society.
