Our hosts explore the little-known perspective that Carl Sagan pioneered the "Ancient Astronaut" Theory of Extraterrestrial contact in the West. He bridged previous postulations by M. Agrest and Iosif Shklovsky published in Russian in the early 1960's, while adding his own calculations of the Fermi Paradox in a 1963 paper supported by NASA during his time at Stanford University. It wasn't until much later (1969) that Erich von Däniken popularized the idea with his book "Chariots of the Gods". Subsequently, Zecharia Sitchin released his "The 12th Planet" (Earth Chronicles Series).
Carl Sagan believed in the possibility of ancient alien theories and, according to "The Sagan Conspiracy" NASA conspired to suppress his research. The author presents Sagan's 1963 Stanford Paper, funded by NASA, as evidence of Sagan's belief in past alien visits to Earth facilitated by interstellar travel. The book contrasts Sagan's theory with the prevailing SETI model, highlighting a conflict between Sagan's belief in interstellar travel and the SETI community's dismissal of it. The author alleges that NASA's suppression of Sagan's work stemmed from the military implications of his research and its incompatibility with the prevailing SETI paradigm focused on radio signals. The book concludes by advocating for a re-examination of Sagan's research and a broader approach to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
