Stanton T. Friedman (July 29, 1934) is a physicist and ufologist, currently residing in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Friedman has written books on the UFO phenomenon and has spoken at hundreds of colleges and universities in the USA, Canada, and Europe for the past 29 years about the subject.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Education

• Graduated from the University of Chicago, earning a BSc (1955) and MSc (1956) degree in nuclear physics.

[edit] Adulthood

He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas. Most of his time in this area was focused on paper studies on projects such as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space. On Coast to Coast with George Noory (also known as the Clear Channel Networks syndicated Art Bells "Liars Club" radio show), at 3:55 AM EST, September 27, 2006, he said "We spent 100 million dollars on nuclear projects, I don't consider that a paper study."^{[attribution needed]}

[edit] UFO

[edit] Research

Friedman became interested in UFOs early in their modern perception (>1947) and in the mid-sixties eventually departed engineering work entirely to make a full time living in a career as a UFO studier/promoter. He was perhaps the first investigator and definitely the first and best promoter of the Roswell UFO incident. A significant portion of Mr. Friedman's lectures and ideas are derived from the Majestic 12 documents, and the results of his research in archives of various U.S. Government institutions and Presidential Libraries. He has published more than 80 UFO-related scientific papers, albeit not in refereed journals and not containing any empirical or experimental data.

Friedman is combative with critics of the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH^{[citation needed]}) notion in general, and critics of the ETH/government cover-up theory of the Roswell UFO incident especially. He regards more "conventional" E.T.-related scientific efforts such as the SETI Project with a particular contempt. Friedman is a tireless and the most significant promoter of the UFO-ETH idea. Since 1967 he has lectured on the subject at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in 50 states, 9 provinces, and 14 other countries and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs. He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of Ufology including the Roswell, Majestic 12, the Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work, and analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case. He was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Leeds, England, in September, 2002, by UFO Magazine of the UK. A documentary Stanton T. Friedman IS Real was broadcast in Canada in 2002.

[edit] Theories

Friedman has reached the conclusion^{[citation needed]}that a small fraction of documented UFO reports are observations of physical machines designed, built, and flown by an alien species from another planet to visit/study the earth. He is unique^{[citation needed]}amongst those who advocate such ideas in that he believes these machines are designed and operate according to physics and technologies that are entirely plausible within modern human understanding, albeit beyond present human engineering.

Given his engineering background and work on the Hill Star Map in addition to Roswell, Friedman has concluded that in July 1947 an electrodynamically propelled scout vehicle from a large, interstellar "mothership" originating from Zeta Reticuli crashed in the New Mexico desert, perhaps due to a lightning storm. The U.S. Government is in possession^{[citation needed]}of both the craft's and occupants' remains, and maintains a cover-up to prevent this becoming public knowledge. Mr. Friedman has published and lectured at length regarding the myriad details and accounts he has accumulated throughout his years of study that have led him to that conclusion.
