Position Statement

On his official internet site, Friedman has included a position statement regarding his conclusions on the UFO phenomenon. Via Friedman's television and lecture appearances, his conclusions have essentially remain unchanged for over 30 years.


"As a nuclear physicist who has had a serious interest in flying saucers since 1958, I have reached four major conclusions:

  • The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft. In other words, SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft. Most are not.
  • The subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate, meaning that some few people in major governments have known since July, 1947, when two crashed saucers and several alien bodies were recovered in New Mexico, that indeed SOME UFOs are ET. As noted in 1950, it's the most classified U.S. topic.
  • None of the arguments made against conclusions One and Two by a small group of debunkers such as Carl Sagan, my University of Chicago classmate for three years, can stand up to careful scrutiny.
  • The Flying Saucer story is the biggest story of the millennium: visits to Planet Earth by aliens and the U.S. government's cover-up of the best data (the bodies and wreckage) for over fifty years." [1]
