Yes. This is not really “new” knowledge, but in fact is very ancient.
I recommend that you listen to the radio interview in mp3 format at the second URL posted.
Occam’s Razor is very clear: the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. What are the odds a vast variety of bipedal, vertebrate, one-headed, two-eyed, reptilian or mammalian-appearing specie coming to this tiny planet on the edge of our galaxy, from a dozens or scores or hundreds of worlds?
Please note that most or ALL of the “forms” described tend to fit perfectly within an earthly vertebrate template. Some of
them probably do exist, others might, many probably do not. But
the ones that do exist are more likely to be ancient earthly forms
of life than they are to be representatives of seventy different
worlds (who all also just happen to conform to an earthly
vertebrate–mammalian or reptilian/amphibian–template), just
happening to all end up at little old planet Earth, out on a most
distant tendril of a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, in a
universe which is probably teeming with variegated life.
It simply is NOT logical to assume that all of “them”–maybe any
of them–originate outside of this solar system, perhaps off this
planet. The fact that some may have achieved space flight is
only a testament to their advanced age as civilizations, their
technological superiority, and so on. Their origins, however,
could still have been from the good old bipedal, two-armed,
two-eyed, one-headed vertebrate-spawning biosphere of our
own blue planet.
It is more to the advantage of someone who is intruding or taking
advantage of someone else, to have that someone else believe that
they come from “far away,” another world, etc., rather than from the same biosphere, right under their very
noses. Or feet. Or oceans.
These contentions are supported by the traditions of every religion and mythological cycle, if one digs deeply enough.

Evidence is presented in the book!
