So imagine that all of the reports of UFO's, visitations and alien abductions were true...but sort of not? Confused? How about instead of "aliens" being alien, they were actually humans travelling back in time from the future to study their origins as a species? This is the thesis of "identified Flying Objects", a book by Dr. Mike Masters who took a multi-disciplinary, scientific approach to studying this question. He takes Peter and Richard down more than a few rabbit holes this week on "What If Discussed."

NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on "A Third Way". -    / @athirdwaywithrichardgarner3070
