In his recent book, “Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon,” Dr. Michael Masters of Montana Tech, considers the idea that, at some distant point in the future, our human descendants have figured out how to travel through time and they might be visiting and studying their own evolutionary past, or, in other words: US!
