I am being bombarded and am a lousy typist... and my memory isn't as good as it was. I have found no evidence to support Bob Lazar's story after a lot of investigation.Piece on my website about fraud in Ufology.. Corso, Lazar etc.

Welcome Mr.Friedman... It's an honour for us to hear from a true Ufologist with credence in the field!!!

I was wondering, given their importance at the time, do you feel Holy Scriptures, Cave Paintings/Carvings, Hieroglyphs & stories such as Alexander The Great/Christopher Columbus documenting sightings of Vessels from the "Heavens" descending, do you personally feel that they should also be considered to hold just as much weight in Ufology debate as the current culture of YouTube video's & Freedom Of Information released by Government Agencies?


Thank you Sir!!!


Again... Welcome to our humble abode!


Peace!!!

Hey Folks.This gentleman has a DOCTORATE.This makes him DR.Friedman,not mister.

Wiki says

earning a Bachelor of Science in 1955 and a Master of Science degree in nuclear physics in 1956.

Thats not a doctorate. Still great achievements though.

Note: just noticed Staton has answered this himself.

Hi Dr. Friedman, what is your opinion on the cigar shaped mother ship filmed over the Ukraine on March 8th of this year?

Art Campbell has published a book about Ike meeting with aliens. I believe he did but have no idea what the results were.

I answered about Bob Lazar. Yes, I am strongly convinced that the government has retrieved crashed saucers near Roswell, Aztec, and the plains of San Agustin

Have you ever encountered even the slightest evidence that "they walk among us" (and not only FLY among us), perhaps in human form?

Thank you...

Iam certainly convinced that Lazar is not telling the truth. Don't knoiw enough about Collier to have a sensible opinion

Mr. Friedman,

This is a subject I have followed for many years and my question is this. Do you think the secret veil has been kept on this subject because of the technology involved or is it the fact that the governments of the world are well aware of their existence and the fact that they have no answer to support defending our planet

Strange question. Classiified material isn't published and isn't peer reviewed.As was said by W. Smith "Flying saucers are the most classified subject even more so thanthe H-Bomb.You can obtain 156 pages of NSA TOP SECRET UMBRA UFO information and can read one sentence per page. the rest is all whited out.

Actually, it's not a strange question at all, since you have spoken concerning the importance of peer review in your criticism of others.

The internet has been a blessing and a curse. Anybody can publish anything so there is no peer review, no control of garbage.ufodigest.com...

As you said, anyone can publish anything and there is no control of garbage without scientific peer review, the same applies then to the existence [or not] of extra-terrestrial beings having visited our planet [or not]

You answered my question making a statement about classified material not being in the public purview. I would agree, it is very much not public and very illegal to speak about if you have seen any. You make the implication with your manner of speech that you could have been privy to things normal citizens are not, yet you yourself have claimed you are not privy to anything when you said:

I obviously have no possible way of knowing the origin and nature of the craft. I do not have either a security clearance or a need-to-know for such information. ufodigest.com...

Therefore your statements are from research anyone of us can do, none of it being peer reviewed because the empirical evidence of one cannot be peer reviewed. What you have is the word of others who have stated they have seen something or other or have claimed to have been abducted. If you ask any child they will claim to have seen monsters under the bed, and believe it empirically.. this does not make it fact for the rest of us, it is only true for the child.

Whenever I see something like this I wonder what is the benefit to them to say, is it the 15 minutes of fame? or the money they will get from writing books?

You are a well educated man and well respected and I have no intent of disrespect to you, but for many of us, we plan on waiting for those things which are able to be examined and peer reviewed before we will claim there are extra-terrestrials making contact with earth..

As you stated, peer review has a tendency to weed out the garbage. I wish you well in your endeavors. It was nice speaking with you.

reply to post by Spiro

I am convinced on the basis of research..my own and that of People like Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Dr. James E McDonald, Dr. Peter Sturrock, Dr. J. Allen Hynek etc.etc as well as Ted Phillips work on Physical Trace cases, Kathleen Marden's work on UFO abductions etc.

Hi Stanton

Are you an X-Files fan and are you a Trekkie? Have you ever been approached to be on any TV shows like these?

Thanks for coming on ATS and talking to us - as you can see we have some sharp minds here.

Cheers
