Zecharia Sitchin working for NASA

[CesarAKG]

Hi!

Someone told me he is working for NASA as an "ancient history consultor" or something like that. Is that true?

Thanks

[R.A.F.]

What use would NASA have for an "ancient history consultor"?? (Assuming what "Sitchin sells" is actually an accurate account of ancient history...it is not.)

That someone is "pulling your leg".

Pulling ...

Ripping It Off ...

RUNNING, Down The Road!!!

As noted above, the claim is definitely incorrect.

I remember several years (perhaps a decade or more) ago that a rumor started up that Sitchin was invited to speak to NASA employees as part of a professional development day. Never got to the bottom of that one - this rumor may be a faint echo of that unconfirmed (non) event.

Now somebody research that : ]

We talked about this before.

The rumour may also be confusing Sitchin with Hoagland, who I recall did give a lunch-time presentation to some NASA employees years ago.

Yeah, I think it primarily stems from his relationship with Harrington.

Sitchin's website says nothing of it, but he does cite NASA news in various articles.

Sounds like Goldin era stuff if you ask me... I seem to remember how he had a meeting with Rabbis and priests about the space program on CNN.

NASA suffered some hits back in their 'alternative propulsion' days when they spent many millions on anti-gravity research. It was an embarrasing lesson, and waste of money in how not to do science, IMO.

I must admit that some folks in Alabama had something to do with that--Larry Smalley and Ning Li IIRC. Kozar should have been run off.

But no! They had to make life miserable for HLLV/MAGNUM inventor Bill Eoff in favor of some of this nonsense. And the beamed energy crap from Benford and others isn't much better IMHO.

I dearly love the 'beamed' energy legend. Now that was classic. Unfortunately, legitimate researchers were denied funding to sponsor these sitcoms. That makes me... sad.
