Dr. Michael P Masters is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech University. Part of his research draws on anthropology, astronomy, physics & astrobiology to investigate UFO phenomenon, specifically the premise that aliens may be our human descendants, returning from the future to visit & study their own hominin evolutionary past.
