Nuclear Physicist Describes Vast UFO Cover-Up
aolnews ^ | 6-7 | Lee Speigel

Posted on 06/07/2010 1:39:25 PM PDT by JoeProBono

"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........."

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.

Well, that one's in the Bible. Greed.

Exactly which historians are profiting from the “scam” of interpreting cuneiform texts?

Profit is not the motive or cause. Any mis-interpretation is due to our lack of knowledge about the advanced nature of several ancient civilizations, including the Sumerians.

Same reason many mis-interpret what is written in the Bible.

For instance, how many , today,understand what the phrase "than it is for a camel to get through the eye of the needle" refers to?

All the questions and all the answers are there as well.

You mean like your brain acting as a lens interpreting a holographic universe? The part is in the whole, and the whole is in the part.

This guy put together a UFO Docking...he did a pretty good job for an amateur, of making it look real....unlike so many of those supposed sightings which are always blimps and blurred and distorted.

50 years of nothing but blurry photos, endless speculation, expensive books and speeches, but zero proof.

This guy is such a hustler.

Though I certainly appreciate historical artifacts and find them most interesting....I am referring to the many seminars and Internet videos which abuse factual history and science by twisting and adding false information to these in order to present their case. The average citizen generally cannot tell where the true science or history leaves off and “their” lies begin....the deception they present is quite amazing....as I have stated prior, it is mind-boggling what the general public will swallow because someone or many present a picture that sells to those who want to believe....and those distorting the facts certainly are enjoying the ride.

I don't know much about that stuff. I read books with good citations and bibliographies. I'm in the business of finding the truth. No emotions - no agenda. I think that used to be called objective.

You said......”I don't know much about that stuff.”

Well it might be a good idea to investigate some of it and then you will clearly see the deception out there that is sweeping the Internet...and more so feeding the minds of people who never pick up a book, of which these days are many. Then you would be able to present an “objective” view fully understanding the whole stage where deception is being played out.

Listening to Vangelis made it worth listening to him drone on.

It is beneficial to weigh both sides of the stories.

For instance Nibiru. The idea that a life form could survive (as an advanced technology) on a planet whose orbit carries it beyond the orbit of Pluto, is a bit far fetched.

I think there was a planet that entered our solar system, and collided with some other planetary object. There appear to be signs of the results of that collision. Look at the giant scar across the face of Mars.

This happened a long time ago, and may have resulted in the planetary bodies of Earth and Venus. Or Earth and Mars.

At any rate, there is no rogue planetary body left (unless you count the remains in the asteroid belt) to be on some ‘deep’ orbit and return.

That still doesn’t discount the possibility that some other rogue mass of planetary material won’t come diving through the plane of our solar system.

It is far fetched, isn't it? But you know what? I think Zechariah Sitchin is a crackpot with crackpot ideas, but I have all his books. They are very interesting to read, and his ideas are just fun to consider. Not believable, but fun ideas to entertain.

Here's a fascinating article:

from:

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/162292

Billionaire Aerospace Entrepreneur tells NY Times about killer UFOs
Gary S. Bekkum . . . . June 11, 2010

"People have been killed. People have been hurt. It´s more than observational kind of data."

(STARpod.org) -- In the world where high paranormal strangeness meets the Intelligence Community, it's called the CORE STORY: a tale of extraterrestrial contact with the US government.

Perhaps no one in the private sector knows more about the CORE STORY than Robert Bigelow, the founder of Bigelow Aerospace.

In a recent article by the New York Times, Bigelow is quoted about the dangers of extraterrestrial contact.

"I´ve been a researcher and student of UFO´s for many, many years," Mr. Bigelow said. "Anybody that does research, if people bother to do quality research, come away absolutely convinced. You don´t have to have personal encounters...People have been killed. People have been hurt. It´s more than observational kind of data."

Bigelow's revelation may have slipped by NY Times writer Kenneth Chang, but grabbed the attention of Billy Cox, who wrote in the Herald Tribune:

"Whoa, yo, time out! Holy moley, Mr. Chang -- the emerging top prospective client for post-NASA rockets just said people have been killed and injured by UFOs. And the dude bases it on 'more than observational data.'"

Billy Cox goes on to speculate whether or not Bigelow's "observational data" is related to an FAA manual directing Air Traffic Controllers to report UFO contacts to the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS).

Perhaps. But Cox may be unaware of the intimate connections between Bigelow's paranormal interests and a former CIA official; a physicist who has been contracted to write evaluations of far-out topics like teleportation, for the USAF; and others with friends and associates in the Intelligence Community. Some of the others are associated with private sector attempts to reverse engineer suspected alien technologies. Or so we have been led to believe.

And among the reports of strangeness are stories of paranormal happenings at a remote ranch in Utah.

In my book, Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape, tall tales of extraterrestrial visitations are woven through covert past attempts by the CIA and other intelligence agencies to access paranormal phenomena. Thanks to the partial declassification of government documents, I have been able to confirm some, but not all of the strangeness being reported.

In one startling contact tale told to me by a scientist who worked on the Bigelow paranormal investigation at the Utah ranch, an alien presence took physical and mental control of one of the scientists.

"Terse, threatening" voices were 'telepathically' broadcast into the scientist's mind, warning Bigelow's team to leave.


Other, more disturbing stories included the discovery that the rancher's dogs had apparently been disintegrated into a black goo.

Recent reports of the possibility of a new kind of life on Saturn's moon Titan have ignited debates about what might be 'out there' -- and physicist Stephen Hawking has warned of the dangers of contact with intelligent alien life-forms.

In 1987, psychic spies at the Defense Intelligence Agency (which would later run a psychic spy program under Obama Director of National Intelligence nominee James Clapper) were tasked against a suspected alien presence in the solar system. According to one declassified report (available to view at STARpod.org), humanoid aliens were 'observed' by a psychic spy at "Titan Base." This report was found among the 89,000 pages of Project STAR GATE documents officially released by the CIA, and bears an official declassification marking.

In October 1988, a television special called UFO Cover-up Live revealed the existence of the then secret DIA paranormal program -- the same program that had reported on the alien presence a year earlier.

Years before the broadcast, I had heard a rumor that the Air Force was involved with an extraterrestrial presence from a source who had recently left the Air Force.

It was implied by this source that the Air Force had been involved with visitors from another world:

"If you knew the truth about what is going on with the UFOs, you wouldn't be able to sleep at night."

Although I discounted the strange story, it was similar to the bizarre tales told by two former Air Force sources during the UFO Cover-up Live program.

A source involved with an earlier Bigelow investigation did confirm to me the veracity of the Utah ranch rumors.

In one exchange with this source -- and I am paraphrasing here -- the source advised staying away from the ranch to avoid getting zapped by whatever presence haunted the location. I presume this was a reference to the tale of the disintegrated dogs, but perhaps there are other incidents which remain untold.

Billy Cox adds a caveat for any prospective adventurer planning to stay at one of Bigelow's private space stations:

"Just seems like anybody hankering to crawl into space with this guy might like to know what the hell he´s talking about."
