Stanton Friedman Presents Flying Saucers and Science

An illustrated lecture by nuclear physicist lecturer Stanton T. Friedman

Stanton Friedman

After 50 years of study and investigation, nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman has summarized his views about flying saucers. He is convinced that the evidence is overwhelming that some UFOs are intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft, that the subject represents a Cosmic Watergate, that there are no good objections to these conclusions, and that flying saucer reality and its cover-up is the biggest story of the past millennium. His lecture covers 5 large scale scientific studies that most people are not aware of. He reviews the four major reasons leaders in the scientific and journalistic communities have not yet jumped on the pro-UFO bandwagon. He covers landing trace cases and the star map seen by Betty Hill  on board a flying saucer and the scientific investigation of it by Marjorie Fish. He discusses the Roswell, New Mexico, crashed saucer recovery of July, 1947,  as the first civilian investigator to dig into that story, as well as the controversial Majestic 12 documents, some few of which he has shown are genuine. He shows nuclear rocket engines on which he worked and a number of legitimate UFO photographs which have been scientifically validated. There will be a question answer session after his program and he will autograph copies of his books.

Nuclear Physicist-Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman grew up in Linden, NJ, spent 2 years at Rutgers University, and then received his BSc. and MSc. Degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by such companies as GE,GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell-Douglas working in such highly advanced, classified, eventually cancelled programs as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and various compact nuclear power-plants for space and terrestrial applications.

He became interested in UFOs in 1958 and since 1967 has lectured about them at more than 600 colleges and 100 professional groups in 50 U.S. states, 9 Canadian provinces and 16 other countries in addition to various consulting efforts.. He has published more than 80 UFO papers and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 2007 and twice in 2008. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored “Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident”.

He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, The Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work, analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case, crashed saucers, flying saucer technology, and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort To Investigate) cultists. He has spoken at more MUFON Symposia than anyone else.
