Product Description

Astronomer Carl Sagan believed that modern physics was not discovered centuries earlier because it was deterred by religious superstition, suggesting that ET's advanced civilization would be due to an unbiased pursuit of science. Human pride and an imposition of politics on science are the best explanations for impeded scientific progress and a closed-mindedness to the most astonishing possibility in history - that ET is here!

The first philosopher to have written both a professional article and book in support of ET's probable presence, Dr. Trundle combines his expertise in Ethics, Politics, and Theology, with an impressive array of material from UFOlogists and military experts, to argue that ET has, in fact, been around for quite some time.

Illustrated throughout (b/w).

Includes a momentous admission from C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center (1958-1992)!

Customer Reviews

Fantastic
Bob Trundle's book, Is ET Here? is great. If you ever get the chance to take his Philosophy and UFOs course at Northern Kentucky University, do it.

Unlimited possibilities!
I have always been skeptical about the UFO phenomenon, yet I've also been very interested in it. So when reading this book Dr. Trundle had to do more than just show cool pictures and ask questions. I wanted answers and reasoning behind any evidence that was given, this book definitely delivered that. I found that the use of logic and different philosophical insights definitely helped to make a compelling case for the existence of E.T. If you are a skeptic or just someone that is interested in the question, you owe it to yourself to have your questions answered. This is a must read.

It's all about the possibilities.
Some of this book is a difficult read due to its tendency to drift into philosophical areas. It doesnt become too in depth, but it is noticable at times. Many of the popular reasons UFO reports get discredited, are eviscerated by an in depth knowledge of science. Trundle presents a strong case for the possibilty of UFO contact. In my opinion that is the best reason to read this book. I am a bit skeptical about some of the individual reports, but other evidence is simply shocking. If you are a believer or not this is definately an interesting read, and you will know alot more about what is or isnt possible when you finish.
