STANTON T. FRIEDMAN (1934-2019)
Stanton Friedman was born in New Jersey in 1934. He was named valedictorian of his 1951 Linden, New Jersey, high school class and spent two years at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey before switching to the University of Chicago in 1953. He received BS and MS degrees in Physics from UC in 1955 and 1956, where Carl Sagan was a classmate. He worked for fourteen years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse, TRW, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, highly classified, eventually canceled projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear power plants for space. Since 1967 he has lectured on the topic "Flying Saucers ARE Real" at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in fifty states, nine Canadian provinces, England, Italy, Germany, Holland, France, Finland, Brazil, Australia, Korea, Mexico, Turkey, Argentina, and Israel.
Stan is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, who co-authored Crash at Corona and instigated the Unsolved Mysteries Roswell program. He was heavily involved in both the 1979 documentary UFOs are Real and the 1993 & 1996 videos Flying Saucers Are Real. Stan anchored the affirmative team in an October 1995 debate at Oxford University, "This House Believes That Intelligent Alien Life Has Visited Planet Earth", garnering 60% of the member-vote. On June 27,1997 his TV Debate team got 92% of 100,000 votes called into ITV in London, England: "Are Aliens visiting Earth?". He has provided testimony to congressional hearings, appeared twice at the United Nations, and pioneered many aspects of Ufology, including the Betty Hill star map work, crashed saucers, analysis of the Delphos physical trace case, and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort To Investigate) cultists.  Stan has spent many weeks at a total of nineteen document archives. He has also been involved in numerous scientific research and development projects since moving to Canada in 1980. He held dual USA and Canadian citizenship and lived in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Stan Friedman passed away on May 13, 2019.

POSITION STATEMENT:

Some UFOs are alien spacecraft. The subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate. None of the anti-UFO arguments stand up to careful scrutiny. We are dealing with the biggest story of the millennium. Visits to planet Earth by alien spacecraft are real. Cover-up by governments of the best data is happening. Wreckage and bodies were recovered in New Mexico in 1947.
