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?

Interesting and believable for the most part

Somewhat repetitive and I can imagine people with a bit more knowledge than myself putting across various counter arguments but non the less an interesting listen that I will be more than happy to see what happens next.

Sooooooo repetitive!

Overall I liked the book, however realistically it could have been a 3rd the length, repeated the same details constantly, which made the listen tedious which was unfortunate.

bit boring tbh

he went on and on about Sagan's paper , but I'm Still unsure what was in it. sagan believed in ancient aliens and space travel, big deal, so do lots of people. he made his case, whatever it was, seem a bit desperate

2 hours

I could only listen for 2 hours. The book is mostly concentrated on the injustice brought to Carl Sagan. Waaaay to repetitive and within the two hours I could bare to listen, there was no proof that Sagan was right to look for alien interference in the human history nor that Drake completely failed to find alien signals in space.
