"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........."
As far as our current “understanding” of reality— everything we know about it comes from 200 equations by James Maxwell Clerk, only caveat is the an uneducated man name Heavyside threw out all but four since they were, in his words, “impossible”, changing the four from field to vector equations... no one has ever bothered to reexamine them since 1875.
There are over 7 billion people now.
Correction: "... so far not a shred of solid evidence to substantiate alien visitation" THAT YOU KNOW OF.
If you actually believe that government entities are going to share all the solid evidence gathered during any investigation of a highly controversial topic (terrestrial or otherwise) whose revelation could create mass panic or incite war, then I've got some great swampland in Florida to sell you.
Outside of Art Bell, I find it much harder to believe that so many people, including a loved one and a few friends who've shared stories of seeing these things, and whose characters I know well, are simply telling fabulous outlandish lies for entertainment, completely out of character. That strains credibility much more than the possibiliby -- make that probability -- that UFOs extraterrestrial in origin exist.
BWA-HAHAHAHAhahahahaha!!!
Bigfoot segments on Kook to Kook are MY FAVORITES!!!
;’)
These "so called" aliens have specific behavior patterns and their interactions with humans always seem objective-oriented...and that objective, whatever it is, has to do with human reproduction and sexuality.
Many abductees (they are abducted over a lifetime) seem to fall prey to what we call "Stockholm Syndrome." But, before they begin to identify with their abductors, they describe them with powerful and consistent adjectives.
Some call them "evil" (I leave that to your imagination as to why they choose that term)...and some call them demonic. But everyone, at one time or another, says they (the aliens) are "liars"!
BTW, Whitney Strieber (an avowed atheist) in Communion said that when he was first abducted (actually the first time he, as an adult, remembered being abducted), he felt that, when in the presence of the "aliens," he was in the presence of profound evil!
Be a hoot if visitors made contact and imparted such knowlegde that the only need for hospitals and doctors was for child birth and accidental injuries,,,and life span was greatly enhanced.
The abduction phenomenon has all the earmarks of what, in human affairs, would be malevolent black ops by intel agencies for unknown but destabilizing purposes.
Quix, get over here (if you aren't already here)...
Seriously.
Recall any sounds, size comparisons with landmarks, etc?
You might be the photographer in some of the most significant UFO photos in existence.
Fascinating...
Whatever Man! yes, started listening to Art Bell when he was doing his show on K-DON in Vegas before his “Strange Science” phase. Before then it was the constitution, exiting from the system and not paying taxes. Well anyhow, thanks for pointing out and nitpicking my ‘by design’ short diatribe— a comment. I noted 3 things you schooled me on in your response, that I didnt need. Most people in this forum treat others like less educated or knowledgeable peers. You cant really get away from someone commenting to your 5-7 sentence diatribe without picking on it. Its like I need to spend an hour and 7 paragraphs so I can avoid nitpicking nitwits like you. Seriously, get a life.
Next!
Is that Helen Thomas ?
Yeeeesh.
UFO& Aliens... the Easter Bunny for adults.
Those are the words of an arrogant fool with limited exposure to the world, despite five decades of being there.
The chimney sweep who cleaned our creosote told me the same thing. And he gave me details about the colony of aliens on the moon who are coming to get us. We can’t see ‘em, though; they’re on the other side of the moon. uh huh.
Very good, you are the person I thought you were.
Go away!
I have a married couple as friends who swear they saw a flying ship up close in Silver Spring, Md. It was just above the treetops. No blimp. No sound. They swear in a blink of an eye it was gone.
These two have never been known to exaggerate and are very low key. They get very quiet when they talk about it.
