Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon

Could “UFOs” and “Aliens” simply be us, but from the future?
This provocative new book cautiously examines the premise that extraterrestrials may instead be our distant human descendants, using the anthropological tool of time travel to visit and study us in their own hominin evolutionary past. Dr. Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology specializing in human evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine, explores how the persistence of long-term biological and cultural trends in human evolution may ultimately result in us becoming the ones piloting these disc-shaped craft, which are likely the very devices that allow our future progeny to venture backward across the landscape of time. Moreover, these extratempestrials are ubiquitously described as bipedal, large-brained, hairless, human-like beings, who communicate with us in our own languages, and who possess technology advanced beyond, but clearly built upon, our own.
These accounts, coupled with a thorough understanding of the past and modern human condition, point to the continuation of established biological and cultural trends here on Earth, long into the distant human future.

Dr. Michael Masters is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University in Butte, Montana. His current research program centers on hominin evolutionary anatomy, human variation, archaeology, biomedicine, and investigating the UFO phenomenon. Regarding the latter, in 2019 he published 'Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon,' which examines the premise that UFOs and 'Aliens' may be our human descendants, returning from the future to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past. In 2022 he published 'The Extratempestrial Model,' which analyzes well-documented cases of abduction and other contact modalities in the context of this time-travel hypothesis and other theories put forth to elucidate this complex and mysterious phenomenon. His 2023 book, 'Revelation: The Future Human Past,' again focuses on UFOs in the framework of this Extratempestrial Model, but in the format of a satirical time travel science fiction novel. And his most recent book 'Marshmallow & The UFO, A Time-Travel Adventure,' follows this canine explorer and her future-human friend, Dordogne, on an exciting journey through time.
