check Tue Dec 20 – Donald Zygutis – Sagan Conspiracy

7 years 11 months ago - 7 years 11 months ago #7241 by ??

“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

Shortly after the interview began, the phone line to Mr. Zygutis went dead. As this was just the beginning of the interview, I expect another future interview with him. Further, a NASA employee who actually worked with Sagan on SETI called in and will be featured as a guest in the future. Perhaps both will be back when this interview is redone.

"Stay tuned..."

I think Carl Sagan is generally the definition of enigmatic and he symbolizes different things to different people. When it came to UFO reports, he was generally a skeptic, but outside of that, maybe not so much. I think he is the first modern astronomer to leave open the possibility of ruins on Mars when talking about the "Elysium Pyramids" in "Cosmos." It was the first time I had ever heard it.

Sagan is one of my favorites. I have read everything by him, plus a couple of biographies. While not the best family man (but then neither was Einstein), he was an excellent scientist.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
