Summary
“We assume that there exists in the galaxy a loosely integrated community of diverse civilizations, cooperating in the exploration and sampling of astronomical objects and their inhabitants….It follows that there is the statistical likelihood that Earth was visited by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization at least once during historical times.”
—Carl Sagan, Direct Contact Among Galactic Civilizations by Relativistic Interstellar Spaceflight
?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 ancient alien intervention may have sparked human civilization?
Recently rediscovered by the author, Sagan’s lost Stanford paper is the central theme of The Sagan Conspiracy. Groundbreaking research and paradigm-changing material challenges conventional thinking about the People’s Scientist—and maybe even the origins of human society. Sagan even conceived of the likelihood that the ancient Sumerian civilization had been visited and influenced by beings from other worlds as evidenced by ancient manuscripts, among other artifacts.
Donald L. Zygutis is a graduate of Corban University and has 40 years of experience investigating and analyzing the life and work of Carl Sagan as a leading skeptic and ETI theorist. Zygutis resides in Bend, Oregon.

| 0:29.0 | and a day, It's good to be back. You might have noticed that the last two shows were pre-recorded. I left for Paris on the 26th the day after Christmas and I |
| 0:59.2 | needed to make sure that that I mean we had great people on the program but they were |

| 1:34.8 | But my big gift to myself was jumping on a plane the next morning after Christmas and did a 10 hour flight to Paris and we got to |

| 2:10.0 | And boy, it, you know, that's a challenge. |
| 2:13.0 | And it seems like every time I get on a long flight, |
| 2:15.0 | the space between the guy in front of me in my chair gets smaller. |
| 2:21.0 | And I'm like, I'm saying they're going, man, |
| 2:25.0 | and was it me or is this, is this the chair guy, |
| 2:29.0 | this kind of in front of me closer or not, |
| 2:30.0 | but if you haven't flown a long distance, of course they have the TV's stuck in the back of the seat in front of you, so you can watch news and catch up on your movies to make 10 hours go by quickly but hey no matter what you do |
