RIP Stanton Friedman
COAST TO COAST AM ^ | May 14, 2019 | Tim Binnall

Coast to Coast AM is deeply saddened to share the news that iconic UFO researcher Stanton T. Friedman has passed away at the age of 84. He is undoubtedly best known for being the first civilian investigator to research the landmark Roswell incident. His explosive uncovering of the mysterious 1947 event in New Mexico left an indelible mark on not only UFO studies, but the zeitgeist as well with 'Roswell' becoming synonymous with the phenomenon in the minds of millions of individuals around the world. A myriad of books, movies, TV shows, and other forms of media that explored the infamous incident can be traced back to Friedman putting Roswell on the proverbial map of UFO lore.

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1934, he received BS and MS degrees in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. Friedman subsequently spent the next 14 years working on advanced nuclear propulsion projects for such companies as General Electric, General Motors, and Westinghouse. On a whim in 1958, he purchased Air Force Captain Edward Ruppelt's book The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects and this sparked an interest in the UFO phenomenon which would change his life forever. He dove headlong into studying what were then known as flying saucers and began lecturing on the topic in 1967.

Either he found out too much and was whisked away at light warp speed, or something else. But those experiments(torture!) can’t be pleasant

Stan Friedman had been in declining health for some time. He was a dedicated and serious-minded researcher with a Ph.D. in physics in a field given to more than its share of craziness. He will be missed.

I highly recommend the book “Captured!” by Stanton Friedman and Katheen Marden.

I took him more in the vein of Dr. Hynek and hard science on the UFO issue than anything. Trying to explain an event through logical means but following where the evidence led even if it was not accepted by the scientific community.

There are apparently military channels that collect UFO reports and avoid any public accounting of the results. My guess is that within ten to twenty years, new imaging and automated analysis technologies will make it possible for civilians to scan the skies on a comprehensive basis, both from the ground and from orbit. When that happens, official obfuscation will no longer be effective. Supposedly, the US and other countries adopted a policy of secrecy as a way to buy time until we had a defense capability against hostile UFOs. That time is said to be near.
