ABCNEWS.COM'S CHRIS WALLACE'S INTERNET EXPOSÉ: UFO2000 PRESENTS CONTROVERSIAL NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF UFOS

Meet the scientists and the skeptics when ABCNEWS.com presents the three-day Internet-only Webcast series, Chris Wallace's Internet Exposé

Around the globe, the argument about whether or not Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) exist has been disputed for decades. The fourth installment of ABCNEWS.com's monthly Webcast series, CHRIS WALLACE'S INTERNET EXPOSÉ: UFO2000, presents controversial, new information from top British and French officials, raising new possibilities about the existence of UFOs. This Internet-only Webcast premieres Monday, November 20, and rolls out over the following two days, with new parts each day through Wednesday, November 22. The entire presentation will be archived so users can view on demand.

CHRIS WALLACE'S INTERNET EXPOSÉ: UFO2000 will stream in three parts:

• Day I-Nick Pope-"The Real Fox Mulder" A recently released report from top French military and government officials suggests that the French government should begin taking questions surrounding UFOs seriously. The report says the best explanation for at least 5% of UFO sightings is "the extraterrestrial hypothesis." Wallace interviews Nick Pope, an official with the British Ministry of Defense, known as "the real Fox Mulder" from The X-Files, for his investigations into the UFO phenomenon.
• Day II-The Skeptic We have all seen videos that show UFOs, but what is real? In this part, ABCNEWS.com will stream a highly controversial video filmed in 1997, in Mexico City. The video allegedly proves that UFOs exist. Wallace discusses this video, and other evidence presented by believers in UFOs, with Dr. Michael Shermer, head of the Organization of Skeptics, who shows how easy it is to create a phony UFO video.
• Day III-The Scientist UFOs, science or science fiction? What are the actual scientific theories behind a UFO? Are there real life physics behind the phenomenon? How does it fly? How does it travel through time and space? Wallace interviews Dr. Michio Kaku, an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. Kaku is the author of nine books, the last two of which, Hyperspace and Visions, are international best sellers.

This interactive Webcast on ABCNEWS.com, part of The Walt Disney Internet Group, is the fourth installment of a regularly scheduled series and is accompanied by QuickTime virtual reality application of a UFO, synchronous pushed graphics, interactive video and photos, video interviews with people on the street, timelines, message boards, photos, ballots, quizzes, and links to related sites. ABCNEWS.com users can chat with the Webcast's guests on the following dates:

• Monday, November 20 at 2:00 PM, ET - Nick Pope, "The Real Fox Mulder"
• Tuesday, November 21 at 2:00 PM, ET - Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts. Cooper holds strong views on the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence - claiming that there is a distinct possibility that we have already had contact.
• Wednesday, November 22, 2:00 PM, ET - Dr. Michio Kaku

• "I am a firm believer that some UFOs are almost certainly extraterrestrial spacecraft."
• "The one thing that we can say is that when we finally make open contact with extraterrestrials, whatever form that contact takes, the world is never going to be the same again."

• "I am not willing to go with the extraterrestrial hypothesis until we actually have a spacecraft or an alien. I want to see the body."
• "When people bring so called photographic evidence or video evidence, that's no longer evidence, particularly in this age of Photoshop and computer video montages. Anybody could do this."

• "We earthlings are too primitive right now to analyze what's on the other side of a wormhole, but this could be a way by which you could leap across distant galaxies and perhaps even distort time itself."
• "?if I was an alien from an advanced civilization I would say leave them [the Earth] alone for a few thousand years. Maybe play with them, but let's not make contact with them."

The Webcast was executive produced by Ira Rosen, executive producer for ABC News Magazine Webcasts; senior technical producer, Erik Olsen; video producer and editor, Brian Celentano; assistant producer, Chris Fennimore; and designer, Patricia O'Brian.
