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)!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good all-round reference book for beginners and 'old hats'!,
By Aud (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Is E.T. Here? No Politically But Yes Scientifically and Theologically (Paperback)
Is ET Here? was my first 'academic' book on the UFO phenomenon...after reading many abduction scenarios in various short, 'light-reading' type books, this made a refreshing change, as it offered me something to really get involved in - something to get my teeth into.
Being somewhat familiar with philosophical terminology, I was not daunted by the indepth references to logic and arguments, etc., which constitute only a fraction of the entire work. The rest is a fascinating compilation of often forgotten or ignored material, presented in such a way as to keep the reader enthralled and wanting more. There are many, many images, which is always nice, and descriptions of many incidents, people, and organizations I had read very little, if anything, about elsewhere. I came away from the book wondering why more academics don't speak up in favour of the UFO phenomenon being REAL! Trundle puts his career on the line by being so open about his colleagues' misgivings, etc., but this is to his credit. If only more people of influence could be so open minded! I recommend this book, not because its so amazingly unique, as much of the material can be found if you search high and low, but the point is, it is all collated here, in one convenient source, and supported by such a strong philosophical argument that it makes for a very persuasive read. A great reference book.

Skeptics Beware,
By
This review is from: Is E.T. Here? No Politically But Yes Scientifically and Theologically (Paperback)
Robert Trundle presents a compelling argument for the existence of extraterrestrial life in his book Is ET Here? Although many would rebuke such a claim as preposterous, Dr. Trundle clearly and concisely explains why this hypothesis is both real and in harmonious agreement with the fundamental principles of science and theology.
While examples of personal testimony, eye witness reports, and documentation are heralded as concrete evidence in a court of law--pointed out by Peter Gersten, author of one forward for the book--they are meaningless to a public unwilling to recognize the possibility of ET's presence on our planet. In my opinion the argument is won by Dr. Trundle's philosophical inquiry alone. In his book one will discover why it makes sense to believe in ET and his contact with Earth. Both science and theology enthusiast has much to gain. This is an exhilarating read!

It's all about the possibilities.,

This review is from: Is E.T. Here? No Politically But Yes Scientifically and Theologically (Paperback)
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.
