The Ancient Aliens Theory
Marlowe Cassetti
In recent years the Ancient Alien or Ancient Astronaut Theory has developed a strong public following
with help of serval seasons of episodes on the History Channel. The theory is that visitors from another
planet visited the earth in the far past and taught early mankind how to build structures, such as the
pyramids of ancient Egypt and early Mexico. They also imparted other wisdom to the early humans. In
this class we will explore the history of how this theory developed into its present form. This history
even includes the studies of Thomas Jefferson. Class Type: Lecture

The Apollo Moon Landing Hoax
Marlowe Cassetti
There is a segment of the population in both the United States and around the world who believe that
we didn’t land astronauts on the moon. If you add in the undecided, that is those who have doubts, then
the two groups add up to be almost 10% of the US population. They believe that this was a giant
conspiracy engineered by the US Government to fool the public. Let us explore the various aspects of
this conspiracy theory with a discussion led by retired NASA Aerospace Engineer who had a major
engineering and management role in manned space exploration.
