Scientists Challenge Air Force Regarding UFOs By Stanton T. Friedman Frankly I am sick and tired of the US Air Force lying to the public, the press, and members of Congress about UFOs,” said nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman at a public lecture “Flying Saucers ARE Real” in Albuquerque. “I have had a serious interest in UFOs for 39 years, lectured in a dozen countries, and visited seventeen document archives,” he continued. “For 50 years there ha ..read more

Friedman As a nuclear physicist who has had a serious interest in flying saucers since 1958, I have reached four major conclusions: The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft. In other words, SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft. Most are not. The subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate, meaning that some few people in ..read more

Flatwoods Monster UFO Event by Stanton T. Friedman Frank Feschino’s telephone call came as a surprise this past summer. We had met at a conference in Florida a few years back when he had mentioned he was researching the Flatwoods Monster UFO event of Sept. 12, 1952. Our pictures were taken together and that was about the end of it. Now Frank, an artist who has done film school as well, was asking if I would help him out ..read more

Petition, UFOs, White House and Lies By Stanton T. Friedman I would love to have been a fly on the wall when personnel of the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the Executive Office of the President at the New Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C., discussed how to respond to a petition about disclosing data on UFOs. I suspect that nobody brought up the enormous amount of information available indicating that not only are aliens ..read more

UFOs: Challenge to SETI Specialists by Nuclear Physicist / Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman Major news media and many members of the scientific community have taken strongly to the radio-telescope-based SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program as espoused by its charismatic leaders, but not supported by any evidence whatsoever. In turn, perhaps understandably, they feel it necessary to attack the ideas of alien visitors (UFOs) as though they w ..read more

The Bob Lazar Fraud By Stanton T. Friedman Pierce College. Photo by STEPHANIE ASHER Incredible claims have been made about Bob Lazar for years. He supposedly is a physicist with an MS in Physics from MIT and an MS in Electronics from the California Institute of Technology. He was a “Scientist” for Los Alamos National Laboratory, and obtained a job back-engineering UFOs at a very secret site S-4 near Area 51 in Nevada through ..read more

Friedman By the time you read this you will have read a ton of verbiage about the February 24 Peter Jennings’s ABC “UFOs: Seeing is Believing.” I think it is appropriate for me to comment since so many people sent me emails about it. Almost all were sympathetic about what they considered the unfair treatment that I and the Roswell incident received. The producers in Roswell interviewed me for over an hour in ..read more

The UFO “WHY?” Questions ABSTRACT I have been fortunate enough to lecture (usually “Flying Saucers ARE Real”) over 700 times in 18 countries. My audiences, mostly college and professional groups, seem to have no problem accepting the detailed factual data that I present leading to my conclusions that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft and that the subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate. But what seems to be of most concern, judg ..read more

Stanton Friedman Slams Author of Roswell Initiative by Stanton T. Friedman Kent Jeffrey, using perfect timing just before the Roswell 50th anniversary celebration, dropped a bomb on the very people who trusted and supported him, and his intentions with the Roswell Initiative, which he authored. Incredibly, he wrote a long dissertation on how he now believes the government’s lame versions of what took place in Roswell. It was a shock to the UFO commu ..read more

Friedman It should be no surprise that the various highly classified Operation Majestic 12 or Majic-12 or MJ-12 documents have been attacked since their existence was first made public. Equally unsurprising is the fact that a number of phony or hoax or fraudulent MJ-12 documents have been released as well. Clearly if the original documents: The Eisenhower Briefing Document (EBD) of November 18, 19 ..read more
