My point was that Friedman made a statement that can never be proven wrong. Hundreds of Area 51 employees could come forward and say they never saw anything, and Friedman could say the exact same thing. It's a common tactic of conspiracy theorists.

Maybe he should come up with some evidence or eyewitnesses instead of asking us to prove a negative.

Not to say I have 100% faith in Stanton Friedman, but what he said, if it were on a more mundane military tech discussion would not get this kind of heat. The statement was not a sensational one, and Friedman may just know more because he’s made it his bread-and-butter to dig into the matter.

“Maybe he should come up with some evidence or eyewitnesses instead of asking us to prove a negative.”

He has written many books and articles, and are completely accessable to the public. If every person asked any question were required to trot out everything they knew every time they made a statement, nobody would get anything done. Especially when the statement are of such a general nature.
