Alien Crash Site
Santa Fe Institute 推出访谈系列 Alien Crash Site，由 Caitlin McShea 主持，设定为外星文明造访地球 13 年后留下的坠毁区 Zone。节目探讨从 Zone 中回收的奇异物品，如疑似永动机的圆环、可能改变时空的黏液，以及金属小行星、思辨小说价值等话题。
At the risk of imprisonment, great personal injury, and even death, what object do you hope to recover from the Zone?
Alien Crash Site is an InterPlanetary interview series from the Santa Fe Institute.
Thirteen years ago, an alien civilization visited our planet, and left behind myriad, mysterious materials in their crash sites. These areas, Zones, behave very strangely, but the interplanetary items they contain could change the trajectory of our technological advancement. What appears as a hoop might actually be a perpetual-motion machine. What appears as a slime might alter space-time.
Spend too much time in the Zone and your genes might mutate, your bones might dissolve, your body might be ground into meat. If you’re lucky enough to make it out alive, you’ll likely be imprisoned. But a successful trip in and out of the Zone could alter human history. Do you dare? And for what?
Hosted by Caitlin McShea.
