Alien Worlds was a syndicated radio show created by radio personality Lee Hansen. It aired 26 half-hour episodes between 1978 and 1980, becoming well-known for its realistic sound effects, high production values and documentary style of dialog.

The science fiction show was first syndicated by Watermark Inc. after Lee Hansen was hired as their creative director. After advancing the concept of an action-adventure dramatic radio series, Lee began developing the concept in the fall of 1978. Watermark premiered the first episode, "The Sun Stealers", on January 7, 1979.

    The original music score and theme, entitled The Aliens World Suite, was composed by Jim Kirk and engineered by Dick Kewzey. It was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, comprising a 57 piece Westminster Sinfonia in Wembley, England.

    Many of the realistic sound effects were recorded in four different sessions on an oil tanker in a San Pedro dry dock.
