Publisher's summary

In The Extratempestrial Model, Dr. Michael P. Masters posits that UFOs and "aliens" are our future human descendants, coming back through time to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past.

As a professor of anthropology, Masters uses an abductive approach to logically infer the best explanation. He examines well-documented abductee experiences in the context of this time travel model, and considers other theories put forth to elucidate this complex and mysterious phenomenon.

While no single model can account for all aspects of these encounters, in considering various contact cases across the world and through time, recurrent patterns emerge that may offer insight into what these objects are, who is inside, and from where—or potentially when—they are coming.

A critical UAP perspective to research

The budding " Science" of UAP Studies is in critical need of research like this. For anyone paying attention it should be obvious there is much beyond just technology to discuss. UAP phenomenon involve technical, cultural, psychological, and let me say it plainly, "Paranormal" components to be properly evaluated. This book does not delve " much" into the paranormal aspects of UAP, but it's successors will need to if they hope to start to understand the scope of what is, and has been occuring in our Sky's, our Seas, and in our minds.
Take this book to heart to make the first step. And don't forget that wisdom requires, Science, Skepticism, and honest curiosity to blossom.

A Compelling Case!

This perspective makes so much sense! I still do believe there are a myriad of different types of beings from different places and dimensions. However as of last year, 2022 I had begun to hear little comments here and there that beings such as the Greys, could be “time traveling, future humans”. Mike Masters makes a compelling case in the ExtraTempestrial Model. I’m convinced! Excellent book. I highly recommend!

Fascinating analysis

Dr. Masters doesn't disappoint in this second book on the Phenomenon. His case analysis isn't laden with extraneous information; he keeps his eye and the reader's eye on the ball. As with his first book, I'll be giving this one multiple reads. I recommend both books without question.

Very Convincing Arguments

Many well thought out and articulated points that make a strong case for the idea that at least some, if not most, of the UFO phenomenon has to do with our near and more distant human descendants visiting us in their own past. Good synthesis of various scientific fields, but with information presented in a way that is understandable to anyone. It's like sitting back and listening to good ghost stories.... but with aliens (future humans).

This changed my entire outlook.

This whole concept is so profound and obvious that it would be very hard to come up with a logical rebuttle. everyone should read or listen to this even if you still can't "believe" in ufos. mathmatically aliens exist in our universe but we are not witnessing them. we are seeing humans. plain and simple... extraordinary

Excellent fun listen

Masters has done it again with a smart, captivating story. Will have you thinking for a long while about his ideas of time and otherworldliness.

Excellent read

Very well researched and narrated. You can easily tell Dr. Masters has poured his heart and mind into this, his arguments are cogent and spot on, in my opinion.

It's About Time

Absolutely fascinating. I recommend reading the companion book first (Identified Flying Objects) because that one lays down the theoretical framework and research. This one refers back to those ideas and summarizes them for people who didn't read IFOs, but it would help a lot if you were familiar with it beforehand, because it's a lot to process. Extra-Temp Model is more like an application of the theory. He discusses the time-travel hypothesis in the context of abductions, and does an excellent job of presenting a compelling argument. I was riveted throughout, really thought-provoking.

I feel like we (the UFO community) are entering an exciting phase. All the nay-sayers and chronic debunkers like Mike West can keep on arguing whether this is really happening or not. But now we have lots of intelligent people like Masters who are ready to sit down, calmly look at the evidence (which includes oral testimony) and try to figure out what it at all means. It's important to keep an open mind, because it's all speculation and educated guess work at this point, but the time-travel hypothesis is one of the most promising to me, because compared to other ideas--that they come from other planets or even other dimensions--it involves the least amount of assumptions. In fact, the idea that we will one day master the science of time travel is the only assumption you have to make. Everything else that follows is actually very rational.

Outstanding

Possibly better than his first book on the subject matter of extra temporal visitors as the potential source of ufo/ “ET” encounters, it’s a great listen. His wit and candor along with his clinical attention to detail and objectivity make it intriguing and fun as well as accurate and honest in its content. Highly recommended!
