Story
The biggest lie in history is about to be shattered. UFOs are real. In late June of 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics, an energy generation and propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, and nuclear plants - and with them, the entire geopolitical and economic order on our planet. But a cabal of bankers, the military-industrial complex, and Big Oil stopped it.

This is a story that starts off close and goes very big. The initial part of the story might sound familiar at first: It is about a platoon of mostly 19-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the US Department of Defense’s quest to build the world’s most powerful biometrics database, with the power to identify, monitor, catalogue, and police people all over the world.

No other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why? In this provocative collaboration, two Egyptology outsiders combine their decades of research to show how the Sphinx is thousands of years older than the conventional Egyptological timeline.

Stephen Fry ist ein Geschenk

Publisher's Summary
The world's most eminent scientist of space explains why he believes in extraterrestrial life.
Harvard's top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology.
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilisation.
In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes listeners inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges listeners to aim for the stars - and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.

Inspiring work from Avi Loeb
Loeb really shines a hot light in the dogmatic scientific community and the attitudes that plague it. It really is a shame that the broader scientific community are so averse to taking risks and exploring more exotic theories. Hopefully with leaders like Loeb, humankind can invest in exploring the stars and not trying to explain them away.

The idea is sound... but
Ultimately a plea against the scientific community to be open minded towards aliens. This is a great and fine point. The problem with the book is the majority of it seems spent in the very issues hes pleaing the world to be above, not on the other side where he's asking us to be. More of a revelation in the problem not the solution.

Academically strong and opens doors
As a data scientist and astronomy geek myself, Avi’s message is preaching to the choir among those in the same wavelength but presents a compelling case for more creative thinking in the academic world.
Reads well, and I often caught myself knowing the term or uttering it before it being announced, giving me a cool confirmation that signals, math and philosophy are tightly entwined in investigating our relationship to the sky and experiences outside of pure theory brings the human center stage into why we may keep the extra terrestrial channels open, otherwise half the equation is simply omitted for unreasonably fearful scepticism that has marred the scientific community.

Brilliant read, thought-provoking, hope it inspires (and helps!) future generations of scientists
I bought this book on account of hearing Loeb being interviewed and having been fascinated by ‘Oumuamua in 2017 (if you’ve read Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C Clarke then ‘Oumuamua will not have passed you by unnoticed!).
I’m not a scientist but the fundamental questions in this book fascinate me and I appreciated hearing more about ‘Oumuamua alongside Loeb’s personal and professional views on the bigger picture (one might even describe it as Life, the Universe, and Everything...views of a Harvard Professor).
I recently read ‘The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity’ by Toby Ord and these two books complement each other really well, they share common ground.
This book has been published in 2021 and I hadn’t appreciated that the search for extraterrestrial life is still regarded as a less credible career path for young academics, and that it still does not compete well for resources versus other areas of scientific discovery. I hope this book goes some way to changing that.

Not just about Oumuamua
A very thought intriguing not just about the object but how humans view their place in the universe as a whole. My scientific background is in biomedical science and obviously far from the field which is discussed here however, the data and interpretation of Oumuamua is an interesting view point (one which I do not share). Dr Loeb does put forward a fantastic point about cosmic modesty (one he has put forward before) which personally I believe is exactly how we should be thinking when we look toward the stars.
There a is a very simple track to follow that firstly humans thought we were the centre of the universe, then that got knocked back and then we thought we were the centre of the solar system ect ect. This book does in a less than subtle way point out the absurdity of that kind of arrogance in a more contemporary pov, i.e. we are not special.
The data presented for Oumuamua being ET here is interesting, but a tad too speculatory to be counted when one presents the evidence that Dr Loeb has put forth. However, such pov's should not be discounted as bunk or nonsense, they deserve a lot more attention than they currently are. Very well presented book, points presented which I considered more 'reaching' than any sort of data to prove the fact, but definitely something which helps bring attention toward a subject which should have a lot more credence thrown behind it. (4/5 (if one can put a number on such things!)
