I think the authors of the book forgot about the expansion of the universe when they calculated that. They paper i linked to calculates 50 years to reach the position of a galaxy with a reshift of 0.65 or approx 7 billion light years, which is a bit further than andromeda.

Anythings possible and think about this.Maybe some of these flying saucers originally left earth long ago through some type of dimensional portal or doorway,like stargates which gave them the ability to travel to their deep space destinations in short periods of time and while they were gone the portals were somehow broken or destroyed and so the only way they could return to earth was by traveling across great distances at near light speed and thats when the time dilation occurred for them and when they arrived here,they arived into their future,our present...

Don't you think that, at the stage they would have reached to be able to send out people on near speed of light travels for many years, they would have anticipated that problem?

It is important to address the rarity of fossils in the context that for any particular organism that once existed, the probability that it today is part of the fossil record is infinitesimally small. Such profound rarity is a consequence of three factors: 1) fossil formation is a rare event; 2) fossil survival is a rare event; and 3) an exceedingly tiny fraction of surviving fossils will ever be accessible to be found, though the crust of the earth is filled with them. We’ll examine these factors in sequence.

I would never say never, but what the OP describes is pretty much time travelling to the future.
Current physics allows travel to the future without too much exotic technology but you cant return so maybe the past is also possible,

Which doesn't change the fact that we haven't been able to find a single piece of element of proof that there could have been such an advanced civilisation on earth.
The oldest dinausor fossils found so far on earth date back nearly 200 million years, and even climate changes and geological changes have left us with a great amount of fossils, all over earth.
While it is indeed impossible to deny the possibility of the existence of a very advanced civilisation much earlier than that, I don't think it's reasonable to believe that all traces of it could have been totally wiped, like chalk off of a blackboard.

Well, not really, time travels the same for the traveller, but its the Earth thats catapaults in to the future, but arent we all, after a fashion, when you really get down to it, time travellers of a sort? we are all travelling in to the future at every moment of of every second of our lives at the rate of about, oh..... 1 second for every second!!!

My time travelling seems to go at about 5s/s

So how do you explain the fact that paleontologists still hav'nt found fossil evidence of a direct link between apes and modern humans or homonids if you wil (missing link)? just throwing that out there as point for conjecture, I'm still on the fence on that point..
But your logic is wrong, if they still havnt found that and you belive man descended from apes then does that not tell you that they havnt found all there is to be found in regards to artefacts and fossil records yet?

You believe in God.
I don't.
There is no missing link.

Darren....Man did not decend from Apes...we both had a common ancestor...there is fossil records for this as well as absolute VERIFICATION VIA THE HUMAN GENOME MAPPING PROJECT...it traces Humans all the way back to the very first SINGLE CELLED ORGANIZM. This is FACT not THEORY. Split Infinity
