Stanton Friedman: Man's Place in the Universe

Stanton Friedman at the Erie, Pa. UFO Conference

Stanton Friedman was the biggest draw of the Eerie UFO Conference. I met and talk to Stan for the first time. He wanted to correct some of the things that I said about him in my blog “Darnell Williams World.” I said that Stan worked at the Westinghouse Bettis Plant in West Mifflin, Pa. In fact, he worked at the Westinghouse Large Plant about 10 miles from the Bettis Plant.
Daniel at his Paxtang elementary Academic Fair, giving his presentation on anti-gravity and showing off his anti-gravity machine. Daniel is 8 years old and in the second grade. 
He was flattered that I call my grandson Daniel, “Little Stan Friedman” because Daniel at 8 years old did his science fair project on Anti-Gravity Propulsion.” Most people do not know what that is let alone an 8 year old explaining it to the public.  
People in line to see Daniel and his project as Daniel was giving his ongoing lecture about anti-gravity. He also explained how all the famous scientist were wrong about the subject.  

Professor Friedman wrote the following for his Lecture Introduction; 

“An enormous increase in the information available forces us to change our view of where we Earthlings fit in the larger scheme of things. We used to believe, in the absence of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that there were no planets outside our own system, that there was no evidence for alien visitation, that interstellar travel was impossible, that if aliens had been visiting they would have landed on the White House Lawn. Even the optimistic SETI (Silly Effort to Investigate) community thought there might be as many as 8,000 other planets in the entire galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars. We therefore were too far from any of these for there to be direct contact. Our only hope was radio communication.”

“Now we know, thanks to the Kepler Satellite, that there are probably about 17 billion planets in our Galaxy, that the same nuclear fusion processes that power the stars can be used for propulsion, that governments have intentionally withheld clear proof of alien visitation such as the recovery of crashed craft (originally from off the Earth) near Roswell and Aztec (New Mexico) and Barginha, Brazil.“

“We know that there are nearby stars more than a billion years older than the sun and having nearby stars 30 times closer to each other than we are to the nearest star from the sun. Judging by the observed behavior of the visitors, they are much more advanced than we are. When we are honest with ourselves, we recognize that, from an alien viewpoint, we are clearly a primitive society whose major activity is tribal warfare. After all, we killed 50 million of our own kind in WW II and destroyed 1,700 of our cities. It seems past due for us to recognize that we rank at the bottom of the heap and need to follow a new paradigm. Spending 1 Trillion Dollars per year on things military while missions starve makes no sense.”    
    
When it came time to introduce Stanton Friedman to the audience, the room was packed and the introduction went on for 10 minutes. 

After his lecture, a person asked wasn’t it dangerous to go to Saudi Arabia to give a lecture knowing that Stan is Jewish? Stan said that other people at the time had questions about his safety. He called the people in Saudi Arabia and asked if he may run into problems being Jewish. The Muslims said that they did not think so. They had other Jewish people come to Saudi Arabia to speak and they had no problems. The professor said that he went and had a good time and was treated very well. Stan said that the Jewish people and the Arabs are both Semite people. They both come from Abraham.  

What Stanton Friedman has done over the past 70 years?

Nuclear physicist-Author-Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman received his BSc. and MSc. Degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. I was 4 and 5 years old at the time. Stanton was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aero jet General Nucleonic, and Mc Donnell-Douglas Astronautics 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.    

Professor Friedman became interested in UFOs in 1958 when I, Darnell was 7 years old. Since 1967 he has lectured about flying saucers at more than 600 colleges and 100 professional groups in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and 18 other countries. He has published more than 90 UFO papers and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 1997, 2007, and twice in 2008. He has participated in many documentaries. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident. The Top Secret/Majic, his controversial book about the Majestic 12 group, established in 1947 to deal with alien technology, was published in 1996 and went through 6 printings. An expanded new edition was published in 2005. Stan was presented with a Lifetime UFO Achievement Award in Leeds, England, in 2002, by UFO Magazine of the UK. He is co-author with Kathleen Marden (Betty Hill’s niece) of a book in 2007: “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience.” I purchased an autographed copy of this book from him.

“The City of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, declared August 27, 2007, Stanton Friedman Day. His book Flying Saucers and Science was published in June, 2008, and is in its 4th printing. His newest book Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths about Cures, Theories, and Inventions They Declared Impossible with Kathleen Marden, was published in June 2010.  On July 2, 2010, Stan was inducted into the Roswell, New Mexico, UFO Hall of Fame for his long term investigative efforts on that important case. For a number of years he has written a monthly column Perceptions in the MUFON Journal.”     
    
“Professor Friedman 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) cultist. He has spoken at more MUFON Annual Symposia than anyone else. He wrote the forward for the book published in May 2012, The Aztec Incident by Scott and Suanne Ramsey, and the new 2013 book by Kathleen Marden and Denis Stoner, The Alien Abduction Enigma: Is It Real?    

“Hollywood has optioned two of his books, TOP SECRET/MAJIC and Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience for possible motion picture treatments. The title will be Majic Men and Betty and Barney.”  

“Stanton T. Friedman is a dual citizen of the USA and Canada and lives at 79 Pembroke Crescent, Fredericton, NB, Canada E3B 2V1. You can reach him also at fsphys@rogers.com or www.stantonfriedman.com
