Here's Richard.

And welcome to a premium episode of Richard Serrett's Strange Planet.

Thanks for sticking me in your ear.

And on this episode, my guest will outline why he believes that UFOs and aliens are our future human descendants.

Coming back through time to visit and study their own hominin evolutionary past.

Dr. Michael Masters is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech in Butte, Montana.

He received a PhD in anthropology from the Ohio State University in 2009.

His current research program centers on hominin evolutionary anatomy, human variation, archaeology, and biomedicine.

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, again, evolutionary past.

This is the second book, the Extra Tempestrial Model, published in June of this year, 2022,

analyzes well-documented cases of abduction and other contact modalities in the context of this time travel model,

and other theories put forth to elucidate this complex and mysterious phenomenon.

Dr. Michael Masters, welcome. How are you?

I'm doing great. How are you doing?

I'm very well.

How did you get involved in this field coming from a background of biological anthropology?

Well, I mean, in a way, I may have actually chosen biological anthropology because of this field.

It's sort of a weird, yin yang situation, I guess, where I've been interested in the questions since I was a young child, about eight years old,

and learning that UFOs were real, at least in the context of someone I knew and trusted having seen one close up.

So that kind of challenged my world view a little bit, and then as a result of this encounter, it was my father, actually.
