What is the time-travel UFO hypothesis?

Masters turns the UFO into a time traveler’s field notebook. If he’s right, humanity is already being studied by its descendants.

Michael P. Masters’s “extratempestrial” model imagines future humans returning to study their evolutionary past, which could explain recurring humanoid reports. No visitor or time machine has been verified. But the idea lands hard: the past may not be sealed behind us. We could be living inside someone else’s research.

• What it could changeConfirmed visitors would turn human evolution into an observable experiment, not just a story about fossils.
• How it touches todayEvery recurring humanoid report becomes a possible clue about who gets to examine our origins.
• Our futureIf descendants can look back at us, humanity may become the artifact it once believed it was studying.

• Advocates argue that future humans would have direct scientific, cultural, or self-preservational reasons to investigate Earth’s past.space +1
