Publisher's summary

Mainstream SETI scientists and ancient alien theorists don't agree on much, but one opinion they share is that the undisputed authority on the possibility of alien existence was the late Carl Sagan (1934-1996), whose voluminous writings on the subject have had a profound influence on ETI research.

But how many Carl Sagan fans know that while the renowned scientist was at Stanford University, he produced a controversial paper, funded by a NASA research grant, that concludes that ancient alien intervention may have sparked human civilization? Author Donald L. Zygutis lays out a compelling case that points to a cover-up by the Pentagon and NASA, who may have buried it soon after it was written. How significant is the Stanford paper? The answer may lie in another question: How would a science-backed theory and search strategy to guide the discovery of alien artifacts among our own ancient civilizations impact the worldwide institutions of government, religion, and culture?

Conspiracy

Repeats himself ALOT! Yes, equal and consistency science should be applied...

Conspiracies are too easily postulated, cannot be proven nor disproven, and stimulate internal fears.

Might work for Presidential elections... lol

Quite Intriguing Especially if You Are a Sagan Fan

So repetitive, but intriguing for sure. I'm going to contact the author for further discussions. Very good.

interesting, good for a short book

narration was good, and it's an interesting topic with valid points. the only downside is the amount of times the author repeats his disdain for NASA and Drake while praising Sagan.

Finally got to hear this.

It is a good addition to the Plus catalog. I’ve wanted to listen to it but not wanted to pay for it. My curiosity is satisfied. Thanks Audible.

Ultra repetitive

The author restates his opinion over and over and over and over. It is repetitive and not supported by much evidence. Also the author published this prior to much of the recent UAP interest from congress and AARO. Finally what the heck is he thinking? Aliens once visited Earth in the past… but you are bat shit crazy to believe they are still visiting us today? Totally illogical. Why would they stop showing an interest in us?

Just add Sagan

Hard to believe no one will debate this guy…quite full of himself. Just because you put a bunch of random things out there doesn’t mean the science community has to take you seriously. Also, adding the word conspiracy does you no favors. I was interested in this geek because it was about Sagan and I thought something might be here…I was wrong. Skip this one.

Repeat on repeat

The book is basically the same two graphs on loop front to back. If anyone he sent it to didn’t respond it’s because it’s terrible writing about his axe grinding and pitiful self-aggrandizing . What a waste of time.
