"Some UFOs are intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft, and this is the biggest story of the millennium."
These words are not the rantings of a deranged individual looking for attention or a comfortable straitjacket. Stanton Friedman is a maverick of sorts.
Employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for companies like General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse and Aerojet General Nucleonics, he worked on highly classified programs involving nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets.
In 1958, UFOs caught his attention, and Friedman has since lectured about this subject at more than 700 colleges and professional groups in all 50 states and around the world.
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman has devoted more than 50 years to pursuing the scientific truth of UFOs, and was the original civilian investigator of the legendary 1947 Roswell, N.M., incident. "After 53 years of investigation, I'm convinced we're dealing here with a cosmic Watergate," he told AOL News. "That means a few people within major governments have known since at least 1947 that some UFOs are alien spacecraft."
In Friedman's new book, "Science Was Wrong," co-authored with Kathleen Marden, he wrote, "There's been no shortage of strong, negative proclamations from debunking groups and individuals who refuse to examine the evidence ... to support the notion that some UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin."
Friedman cites many cases of UFO encounters experienced by competent, reliable eyewitnesses, including one involving Japan Airlines.
Courtesy of Stanton Friedman One of the most credible sightings of a UFO in history is from a series of images taken aboard the Brazilian ship Almirante Saldanha on Jan. 16, 1958. The Saturn-shaped object was witnessed by the ship's crew and several scientists. The UFO approached the island, making a steep turn before flying away quickly. Juscelino Kubitschek, then president of Brazil, confirmed the authenticity of the photos. "A 747 over Alaska encountered something that was twice the size of an aircraft carrier, that flew circles around the jet. They reported it to the ground, where both the UFO and the 747 were picked up on radar.
"The explanation from debunkers was that it was Jupiter! Boy, airplane radar can pick up Jupiter? It was totally ludicrous. You're fighting the forces of 'evil,' one might say -- arrogance and ignorance."
While some scientists through the years have quietly suggested Earth has been visited by ETs, Friedman is the most outspoken. He's especially irked by the attitude of scientists who use radio and optical telescopes in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, such as the SETI Institute in California.
"Their livelihood depends on the assumption that there's nobody coming here, and if we just wait long enough, we're going to pick up the signal and it'll be the greatest discovery in man's history, and it will help solve all our problems.
"What really bothers me is that the SETI people will tell you there is no evidence for UFOs. Well, they certainly don't reference any, so there must not be, right? Wrong!"
If so, why would reputable scientists refuse to consider that Earth may be a vacation spot for otherworldly travelers?
"Because they'd have to admit that they'd ignored such a big story for so long and that they were wrong," Friedman said. "Being wrong is something that scientists don't like to admit at all........."

Good news!
I heard him speak at a "New Age" conference an old GF dragged me too and at that time I got the distinct impression he was an atheist/New Ager (otherwise he would have taken his story to another venue altogether).
Also, there was no mention of God in the entirety of Communion IIRC...though there was that discussion of the profound evil quality he found to exist when near the grays.
Good to hear he has gotten serious about his faith.
I wonder how his new found faith has affected his abduction experiences?
The serpent convinced Eve to eat of the apple from the tree of knowledge. She gave the apple to Adam and convinced him to eat of it.
Then Adam 'saw' that Eve was naked, and that he was naked.
'We' think we know it all, yet we know very little.
We can't even figure out how primitive, cave-dwelling, illiterate slaves could build the Great Pyramid in the edge of a desert, many thousands of years ago.
INDEED.
THX.
Imagine that. You figured that out nicely. Don'tcha just love metaphorical truisms? I won't even get started on the Sumerian texts that say the valley of the gods was called Eden (Ur) and the first hybrid/prototype Annunaki/Hominid was called The Adam.
INDEED.
THX.
The Saviour of Mankind
I know the writers of the books of the Bible weren't beyond a bit of plagiarism, here and there. Especially when attempting to explain the origin of mankind, starting with the Origin of TIME and SPACE, and do it all in one chapter.
Everything is in the Bible. You just have to know how to look.
Am I now 'with the program'?
Odd, however, that watching COSMOS gave one (at least me) the impression that the Universe is FULL OF LIFE.
Which eventually led to the hybrid automobile. And seeing if we can recreate the conditions that existed at the beginning of the Universe (if such a thing actually occurred), even if it causes the end of 'our' Universe.
Thanks!
The one thing you can count on from the Bible is brevity, that's for sure.
According to some that's the absolute truth. I've yet to find any musings on quark spin, however. Maybe that's in Leviticus.
Find it very difficult anyone can believe these historical scams spread on the net in order to keep the masses engaged, and their coffers filled with the cash flows generated from it all.....but then there are those who want to live on the fringe of reality and I suppose any story of history to entertain the mind would work quite well.
Trouble is when you can actually search the resources of these supposedly historians you find them all interconnected with the whole scam....it takes time to do this of course and work to see who is who...but the end result is always the same...it’s a scam and many are making very good money doing this....in fact it’s becomming popular to switch sides and make more money doing so...and they all go laughing all the way to the bank.
So the Sumerian and Akkadian tablets are all scams? Dang, who knew the first civilizations are still scamming us today. Exactly which historians are profiting from the “scam” of interpreting cuneiform texts?
Thanks
To some.
IMHO, the absolute truth is that it's all in your mind. The 'story' of the Bible is in your mind. The Big Bang is in your mind. Even the Universe is in your mind.
All the questions and all the answers are there as well. The mind can answer all your questions. Many ask, but few know how to listen. Monks spend their entire lives attempting to learn to listen well.
