Dr. Robert E. Farrell recently retired Associate Professor Emeritus of 
  Engineering from Penn State University. Prior to entering academia, Dr. 
  Farrell spent eighteen years in the plastics industry designing capital 
  machinery. This plus fifteen years as a professor of engineering led Dr. 
  Farrell to take a scientific, nuts and bolts approach to the existence of 
  Extra Terrestrial Life and the workings of UFOs.
  
  For most of his life, Dr. Farrell has had a deep interest in physics, 
  astronomy, and space travel and has stayed current in each. Ten years ago, he 
  began doing serious research in the field of UFOs and ETs for his newly 
  released book, Alien Log. Covering topics from cosmology and astronomy to 
  anthropology and ancient beliefs, Alien Log will thrill and inform not only 
  those interested in UFOlogy and Science Fiction, but also those curious about 
  the Universe. For instance, using the currently accepted big bang theory, how 
  does the creation of the Universe tell us that we are not alone? Also, what 
  are the amazing similarities between what the Sumerians knew about our solar 
  system six thousand years ago and what present day astronomers know today? 
  
  Since retiring from Penn State University, Dr. Farrell and his wife live in 
  Peoria, Arizona where he is now working on other short stories and novels, 
  including a sequel to Alien Log.
