R. Wilson Monroe is the host of Alien Visitations, as seen in the Farscape episode "A Constellation of Doubt." An articulate middle-aged broadcaster, Monroe carries himself with gravitas and postulates on the implications which the alien visitation has had on Earth. He is also seen conducting a personal interview with Aeryn Sun, taped during the events of "Terra Firma." He closes the documentary special with more questions than answers, which he promises to address in the inevitable follow-up. Crichton, watching the broadcast via an intercepted signal, is less than impressed, bitterly noting that Monroe will probably get himself an Emmy.
According to the DVD "Alien Encounters" description, Monroe is a respected and seasoned journalist and "the news anchor America turns to in times of trouble."
