It is one thing to be skeptical that some UFOs have an extraterrestrial origin and/or are under intelligent extraterrestrial control. It is quite another to defame a man who has made a serious study of this phenomena and who is undoubtably sincere in his conclusions.

Most scientists agree that there is almost certainly life elsewhere in this vast universe and that many Earth-like stars are much older than ours. If intelligent technological life exists elsewhere in the Universe, and has existed for much longer than we have, then the question becomes, as per the Fermi paradox, ”where are they???’ ”why is there no evidence they have visited us?”

In fact there are reports going back to the time of the Bible and beyond (read the Old Testament account of Ezekial for an ancient &’close encounter’ UFO report.) Mr Friedman was not behind Ezekial’s account, and neither were the USA’s tabloids newspapers-the USA, much less Mr Friedman, would not even exist for thousands of years from when Ezekial’s report of a strange flying machine with strange otherworldly occupants was made.

Of course the fact such reports have been made for thousands of years doesn’t mean that Mr Friedman is correct in regards to the Betty and Barney Hill case being factual, any more than Ezekial’s eyewitness account can be proved to be factual rather than maybe as the result of ingesting too many magic mushrooms. However Mr. Friedman undoubtably knows more about the subject than most skeptics/debunkers ever will and at least deserves to be treated respectfully. If you have a problem with Mr Friedman’s conclusions based upon fact or logic then by all means present it here. Resorting to name calling simply indicates ignorance and lack of intelligent arguments to rebut Mr Friedman’s conclusions.

You provided no facts to support the terrible things you said about Mr. Friedman, and you to mislead people with spin to attempt to make him out as a liar or con man. For example, just because he no longer works on nuclear rocket engines is in no way incriminating. He changed careers when the demand for nuclear physists bottomed out in the US. Stan is first and foremost a scientist, and his research into UFO reports is first rate.

I have learned that nasty, insulting people such as you should never be listened to nor believed. If you simply reported disagreements about his work supported by facts, then you might be credible enough to consider your arguments. But to just blog a bunch of insults and misinformation about the man lets me know that you are not to be believed. Your hate has nullified your arguments.
