Engaging Ancient Alienism

NASA and SETI scientists act as if the whole subject of ancient alienism is beneath them—as though it would offend the dignity of their calling to publicly engage an idea that they consider so self-evidently wrong-headed that it isn’t worth commenting on. Professional skeptics are just the opposite. They think ancient alienism is so wrong-headed that it is worth commenting on. They rank ancient alienism alongside Bigfoot and UFOs as among their favorite things to debunk. So why aren’t skeptics debunking Carl Sagan’s model of ancient alienism, or even admitting that it exists?

The truth is that Carl Sagan invested 10 years of his life developing the first and only science-based model of ancient alienism. As one of the founders of modern skepticism, Sagan didn’t attack old school advocates of ancient alienism like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin for their claim that aliens were on Earth in antiquity, which he agreed with, but for the weak and often-fabricated evidence they submit to support their claims.

Professional skeptics routinely convey the false impression that the scientific establishment is 100-percent against ancient alien theory, but that is not true. In his book, Lonely Planets, space scientist and long-time family friend of Carl Sagan, David Grinspoon, writes: “If I was asked, ‘Do you believe that the universe is full of extraterrestrial beings, and do you think it possible that some of them are now on Earth, or have been in the past?’ I think I’d check the ‘yes’ box.”9

Despite NASA’s intimidation, there are respected scientists such as Grinspoon and perhaps others who have read Carl Sagan’s literature on the subject and agree that past alien visitations to Earth, while not yet a proven fact, are an entirely plausible thesis.
