The foremost scientific ufologist in North America, and likely in the world, Stanton T. Friedman distills more than forty years of research on UFOs in his new book, Flying Saucers and Science: A Scientist Investigates the Mysteries of UFOs: Interstellar Travel, Crashes, and Government Cover-Ups.

He answers physics questions in layman’s terms, and proves that travel to nearby stars is within reach, giving evidence that government policy is false and misleading–comparing a Cosmic Watergate. Flying Saucers and Science presents intriguing data from large-scale, scientific UFO studies and deals with a host of questions concerning the cover-up, reasons that aliens come to Earth and why they don’t land on the White House lawn.

Friedman reveals insider information about the SETI program and answers:

• What types of energy and technologies could provide travel between the stars?
• Where in the universe do aliens come from, and why have they chosen Earth?
• Who believes in the flying saucer phenomenon?
• Why is our government afraid to reveal the truth?
• What are the false arguments against saucers by prominent science fiction writers?

A nuclear physicist who has worked at McDonnell Douglas and Aerojet General on classified nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear power, Friedman has testified at Congressional hearings and at the UN, and has lectured at more than 700 colleges and over 100 professional groups in North America and in a dozen countries. He has published more than 80 papers and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including the History Channel, Larry King Live and Nightline.

Friedman was the original civilian investigator of the 1947 Roswell Incident and a major contributor to The Roswell Incident. He is the author of Top Secret/Majic: Operation Majestic-12 and the United States Government’s UFO Cover-Up; and he co-authored Crash at Corona and Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience.
