Nuclear Physicist Describes Vast UFO Cover-Up
aolnews ^ | 6-7 | Lee Speigel

Posted on 06/07/2010 1:39:25 PM PDT by JoeProBono

"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........."

Actually,

the mods know who posts what keywords.

And, they can penalize them accordingly.

However, a number of the mods seem to be naysayers about UFO stuff themselves . . . so they are unlikely to bother about policing such that they basically agree with.

Sigh.

Goes with the territory . . .

When it’s too late to help anyone learn critical stuff,

then such . . . mods . . . MAY wake-up.

On the other hand, some Jews didn’t wake-up until they were ushered into the gas chambers.

Whether one believes in these things or not is largely a matter of personal preference. There doesn’t seem to be any sort of overhwelming evidence either way.

At all events, it’s fun to think about, whether one believes or not, and I’m gonna go way out on a limb here, just for giggles:

1. My personal belief, shared by a growing number of investigators (however one defines the term) is that these things represent a civilization which has been “here” “on Earth” right along - with us - and are somehow able to travel “interdimensionally.”

2. Within the next ten years, there will be some sort of overt and undisguised appearance/event (such as, e.g., a filmed and televised landing on the White House lawn) which will eliminate all doubt.

Pinging the ufo list on these recent videos..


Wow, that is an amazing video from June 11, 2010!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_kt6syP5y4

The photographer also captured 5 similar objects (with over 15,000 views) May 28, 2010.

Wow, that is pretty neat. It reminds me of how the pilots in Mexico could only see the objects they came in contact with through the IR view as well, IIRC. [It was the one where they released the footage from the cockpit.]

Pretty remarkable though. Thanks much for the ping. :)

Those are both very interesting videos, but two things struck me.

How did the guy filming the objects know precisely where to look (and when)? He clearly knew what he was looking for and where in the sky they were going to appear.

and

Why was there no emotional response on his part?

There might be some perfectly reasonably explanations, but without the backstory, it is difficult to know what to make of these videos.

That YouTube clip from 6-11-2010 is powerful. The fact that the objects cannot be seen with the naked eye, and are only visible with infrared says something right there.

Truly ‘unidentified’, and the fact that they are flying through a congested area for both military and civilian air traffic makes this even more of a “wow” video.

Thanks for posting!!

Thanks Brother Quix for a MOST informative post and links, a little late getting to it but I really appreciate it.

I did notice this especially:

"Other, more disturbing stories included the discovery that the rancher's dogs had apparently been disintegrated into a black goo."

[cue good ol' boy persona here]

"Them ay-leanin' critters did WHAAAAT?!?!? Turned perfectly good dogs into BLACK GOO?!?!?

Great jumpin' Jehosophat!!! NOW they is declarin' WAR!!

A'hm tellin ya boys, there are THREE things ya don't mess with, and that's an American's DOGS, their GUNS, and their WIFE!!!!"
[in that order too!]

I somehow missed your comment on Monday, thanks for the kind words!

As for my recollections regarding size and sound, the only things that remain pretty clear in my mind are the 'impression' (nothing to truly compare it to at the moment) that the object was approximately the same size as an airliner (although disc/oval shaped), and the actual absence of sound, for a fairly busy neighborhood it seemed exceptionally quiet, which might honestly have been my own teenage adrenalin pumping, lol

I don't really think however, that my pics are anywhere as significant as some others that I have seen over the years, but it's nice to know that some folks can enjoy them now.

Hope your weekend is good, ditto for the week ahead!

I added a keyword addressing that very issue. See if you can find it. ;)

They're more likely something far outside our current understanding of reality, more akin to [...] Sliders.

I agree with you that White Castle Hamburgers are "something far outside our current understanding of reality"... especially about 25 minutes after consumption, where one might well be in a position to cause a rip in the space-time continuum.

Buckle up...

; )

There are some more credible stories.


There are some very credible witnesses - yet because what they have seen are UFOs, somehow their testimony is considered 'rubbish'. In a court of law, testimony from these people would be more than sufficient evidence to convict a person and send him/her to the gallows. But if the subject is UFOs, society has conditioned us to point and laugh.


Watch the videos I posted below - of famous astronauts setting the record straight; military officers and ministers of defense...

Here are some interesting links that will shed some light on the subject.
Britain's Minister of Defence on UFOs

This is convincing testimonial that "something is up". Nick Pope was the Minister of Defense... the British equivalent to Colin Powell during the Bush Administration.

He is not some gullible housewife looking out the window while baking brownies and seeing some swamp gas.

The Fox News talking head is sort of giggling at him, as we have all been conditioned to ridicule anyone who claims that there is anything real about UFOs. Even Nick Pope is cowed by this as he is unwilling to come right out and say it, "THESE THINGS ARE REAL YOU NITWIT! I'm the Minister of Defense you twit Talking Head!"

The conditioning in our society is incredibly strong, but eventually, as these people get old and come out of retirement, they start talking. Highly credible people like Nick Pope; Astronauts like Gordon Cooper, Buzz Aldrin, Edgar Mitchell (6th man on the moon), Dr. Musgrave...
...not to mention Cosmonauts: Popovich, Manarov.

Don't forget the world's highest quality witnesses who all saw UFOs investigating a US nuclear missile site. More than 80 witnesses saw this at Rendlesham Forest. These things have been very interested in the ability to disable our nuclear weapons and have done so on numerous occasions.

We trust these guys with our nuclear arsenal and if they are prone to hallucinations, we are all in trouble. The British MOD has released documents which support these events.

Larry King has a show on this:
UFOs shut down missile sites

Watch the above videos and then come back and tell me that all of these decorated pilots, officers, astronauts, nuclear weapons officers and NATO Defense Ministers are crazy or hallucinating.



Romanian Astronaut's recent testimony

Gordon Cooper (ver. 2)

As these older gents go into retirement, their careers are no longer jeopardized by telling their stories.
