------------------------------------------------
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? Author Donald Zygutis lays out a compelling case that points to a cover-up by the Pentagon and NASA, who may have buried it soon after it was written. How significant is the Stanford Paper? The answer may lie in another question: How would a science-backed theory and search strategy to guide the discovery of alien artifacts among our own ancient civilizations impact the worldwide institutions of government, religion, and culture?
Recently rediscovered by this 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.
A more recent, similar case occurred in 2006.
By then a South American neurobiologist, facing the discovery of water on a Mars thereto believed utterly dry; then working out, finding and communicating how and how much of such a water at minus 100 degrees centigrades would yield liquid water (as a film on the fissures´ surfaces) diffused into biological microorganisms, and knowing of circadian cycles found in the Viking I & II seven "Labeled Release" experiments that recorded up to nine months each, presented the received and the copied files of recorded signals as holotype and epitypes of a new biological species (Gillevinia straata Crocco, 2006) amenable to progressive epistemic mediation (i.e., to a refinement to be attained over long time by adding new, initially future information). The news got utterly silenced. Also the author got notoriously attacked on a popular site, Wikipedia, by a Spanish-fluent subject ("BatteryIncluded") who, later, surfaced as foreign to exobiology, being instead a military counterintelligence specialist intensely contributing to the encyclopedia´s articles, including those related to Life on Mars. This feature much strengthened this author´s belief that Sagan´s early paper had been subject, too, to a deliberate silencing which Zygutis clearly points out by calling it a "conspiracy".
As we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Carl’s death, The Sagan Conspiracy is sure to fundamentally alter how the world thinks about extraterrestrials.

"With this book I believe I am the first to recover and make public written material on ancient alienism that was crafted by Dr. Carl Sagan that has been suppressed and covered up by NASA.
It introduces something that few knew existed: an obscure 1962 scientific paper, researched and written by Carl Sagan with the funding of a NASA grant while he was a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California at Berkeley, then completed and published while he was working as an assistant professor of genetics at Stanford University a document that reveals a comprehensive model of ancient alienism developed by Carl Sagan that adheres to all the rules and strictures of the scientific method. It is a model crafted by a scientist who expected it to be evaluated by his peers in the scientific community. It was peer reviewed and published in a respected scientific journal, Planetary and Space Science, an elite and specialized journal that is still in the business of publishing the research of the world´s top space scientists—after which it effectively disappeared. Mysteriously, no one spoke of it, no one critiqued it, and no one referenced it. Through the years, as Sagan became famous, nothing was ever said of that paper. Today, it is probably fair to say that not one in a thousand people who think they know Carl Sagan are aware of its existence, and even fewer know that what he wrote in 1962 about interstellar spaceflight and past alien visitations to Earth, he continued to believe with great passion until his death in 1996 at the age of 62.
Thirty years later, after SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) failed to detect an alien signal with radio telescopes, a mature Carl Sagan, by then the best-known scientist on the planet, was preparing to defy NASA, break his silence, and announce to the world his conviction that Earth is a visited planet. My charge is that in 1964, NASA officials, under the direction of the Pentagon, made the fateful decision to suppress the writings and muzzle the voice of a young Carl Sagan regarding his belief in ancient aliens."
