Nuclear Physicist: Vast UFO Cover-Up a ‘Cosmic Watergate,’

AOL News recently interviewed Stanton Friedman about his 50 or so years in which he has spent researching UFOs. Friedman talks about important sightings and refers to the vast UFO cover-up by governments as “Cosmic Watergate”.

“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.”

I’ve always thought of Stanton Friedman as a level-headed, rational human being. His arguments have been compelling and thus far, he has not strayed away from his focus.

With so many sightings being reported by credible witnesses (pilots, military and scientists), we can only wonder what it is that our governments are trying to hide from us. Human technology or alien.

“I don’t know of any government on this planet that wants its citizens to owe their primary allegiance to the planet. Nationalism is the only game in town

Brilliant!

“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.

“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.

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!”
