So true, so true....
Well said. One of the reasons they fear revealing themselves is that they would be under the scrutiny of our moral judgements. If they say they are on God's side they would have to demonstrate this. If they say they are not, they will be judged as antichrist.

Sagan also says that the Hill case hinges on the star map - just after 4:00 he says that 'Believers find this account compelling *CHIEFLY* because of the star map'. Here he is setting up 'believers' just to tear them down with his ever so knowledgeable explanation which follows on after that. The fact is that people don't believe in the Hill case 'chiefly' because of the star map. He is speaking with a forked tongue, pretending that everything hinges on the star map. He is debunking.
I don't think Sagan is honestly taking a stance. He is way too sarcastic in his tone and this leads me to believe that he is biased in his presentation.edit on 13-3-2014 by EnPassant because: (no reason given)
I get that you don't like him, but I'm still not seeing the undisclosed knowledge of UFOs.
This is interesting...
A little late, but that's what I was looking for.

Most of the responses Mr. Friedman gave were references to his books. His answers were quite vague and he wasn't on ATS to provide a dissertation for the questions asked. Apparently, it appeared much of the material was already in the literature he authored himself and with others.
Probably the reason your question was not answered was because he may not have known anything about the subject you were referring to.edit on 13-3-2014 by eManym because: (no reason given)

The topic of your post dealt with your puzzlement of why Stanton Friedman didn't answer your question, wasn't it or am I mistaken?
I doubt that extraterrestrials, inter-dimensional beings, or lizard people are in contact with any people in power, so there is no secret, just my opinion.
People in power can't please everyone but the ones that are pleased think its great and the ones that aren't thinks its evil or some demonic plan to undermine them. Decisions are made with the intention of a good outcome but many times the opposite occurs.
Sorry if my post is starting to drift off topic but its just my two cents.edit on 13-3-2014 by eManym because: (no reason given)

At 1.55 here Sagan say that not one sighting is compatible with the idea of extraterrestrial life! Then, immediately after he changes to the subject of statistical possibilities of life in the universe.
The two statements are not mutually exclusive.

Well when Mr Friedman was here I asked a question
"Why are aliens so secretive and in cohorts with the, well lets say, less than honest people in governments.
It seems to me they control those in charge or are controlled, seems a little silly if thats the case.
Are they power hungry, secretive because of evil intentions? "
I never got an answer, he was very busy, I understand.
But I would like an answer, definitive of course, in lieu of that anybody got any ideas.
If aliens (whatever) only relate to the powerful, surely they have an agenda
If they are keeping secrets, they have ulterior motives.
or are they so meek they allow themselves to be controlled by politicians around the world
Anyone?

I too have never been comfortable with that secretive alien behavior.We really don't know much more about their intentions now than we did 60 years ago.And in spite of all the accumulating video evidence we don't know who they are or what they want.But they know everything about us.And in abductee cases the implications are outright horrifying.
In fact at this point even if they came forward I'd not be believing anything they said.edit on CDTFripm5561 by TDawg61 because: (no reason given)edit on CDTFripm5561 by TDawg61 because: (no reason given)
You'll have to forgive me but one of your points is, arguable.

Despite the fact that you have been told, multiple times,who, what, and from where by ET himself...yet you await that information...
Absolutely incredible! I guess you'll listen when you hear the "story" you want...right? Till then, no matter what is said, it's BS! (if its NOT what I want to hear...its BS!!!)
Should pretty much sum it all up.
Again folks; ET is NOT hiding anything...Terrestrial Humans are responsible for ALL the BS connected with Off-worlders.
Most of it out of ignorance, the worst of it is deliberate, and intended to keep the masses under control.
Truth is rarely what we want it to be, but is always TRUE.
