Cory Curtis, the usually unflap­

He said that he full. betrayed be­

Stanton Friedman fights UFO cover-up
I
by Jeff Shaw
In 1992, Nuclear Physicist and
UFO researcher Stanton Friedman
1•isited the Lewis & Clark Campus
Jnd was interviewed by the Plcmt~r
Log. On April 2nd, I got the oppor­
tunity to do a phone interview with
Friedman, which we broadcast-a few
hmes on KLC radio. We discussed
developments in UFOiogy, espe­
daUy the legendary Roswell case,
that have occurred since that first
interview.
Friedman, who received his Mas­
ter of Science in Physics at the t.Jru.
versityof Chicago, has contempt for
both anti-UFOiogists and
UFOiogists who
are unqualified,
unscientific, and
gufllble. He Force monster report, some new
witnesses have come forward, a lot
of television stuff, some of ii junk,
some of it OK," he noted. He agrees
that "alien-culture'' is more preva­
lent now than ever before. "I can't
remember a time when ... more time
was being spent on television on
UFOs, and when more garbage was
being spread around through the
mtemet and ot-her sources."
1n recent memory, Friedman's
work has sent him on five trips to
England, three to New Mexico, one
to France, one to Italy. ln England,
he delivered seven lectures and also
engaged ma debate at Oxford Uni­
versity. On the topic ''This house be-
lieves that intel·
ligent alien
life has vis­
ited planet
"I can't remember a
time when more time prides h1m~elf
in being a me­
ticulous re•
searcher, and
defies the ste•
reotype of the
"crazy UFO was being spent on
television on UFOs. " Earth,H
Friedman
anchored
the affirma•
live side,
and as he Stanton Friedman, nuclear physicist and crusader against UFO secrecy
guy." He has
worked for GE,
Westinghouse, and TRW on pro­
grams concerning nudea.r aircraft,
fission and fusion rockets, as well as
nuclear powerplants for space. He
has spent 37 years researching and
lecturing on the subject of UFOs. He
has appeared on hundreds of in­
cluding Larry King, Nightline,
Sightings and Unsolved Mysteries,
has lectured at more than 600 col­
leges and published more than 70
UFO papers. Friedman was the
onginal investigator of the famous
Roswell Incident, where a UFO is
snid to have crashed in the New
Mexico desert during 1947. He co­
authored the definitive study of that
incident, Crash al Corona, with jour•
nali~t Don Berliner.
Friedman emphasizes that the
past four years have been a frenetic
time for him. "Since that time (1992),
there have been books published
about Ros\Vcll, there has been my
CD-Rom, UFOs: Tire Ri>nl Story, there
has been the CAO report, the Air notes with
pleasure,
"we won;
60% of members of Lhe historic Ox•
ford debating society voted
yes ... which was especiaUy pleas­
ing."
Before we got into the nuts and
bolts of various UFO cases,
Friedman showed his dismay at the
unscientific actions of even wcll-re­
spected anti-UFOiogists. He be·
lieves many debunker~, whom he
calls the "nasty noisy negativists,"
focus on the least credible lJFO
sources and ignore credible, re­
searched cases. "{In) Carl Sagan's
new book, De1111111 Hmmttd Pla11et,
the most referenced source on UFOs
1s the [supermarket tabloid) Weekly
World News .. ,! agree that one
shouldn't use psuedo-science, but
one shouldn't use the psuedo-sci­
ence approach as he does with
UFOs," Friedman said.
Friedman Jnd three others also
experienced the stigma associated
with UFOiogists during an Oc!ober
1st, 1994 program with Larry King
near the
fabled stone," Friedman explained how It
"epitomized the difficulty jn deal­
ing with this subject." While
Friedman and colleagues discussed
the issue, they had to deal with
"taped comments h-om Carl [Sagan I,
from Phil Klass, from William
S/1altler talking about 'people want
Big Brother in the sky to save
t-hem' ... now, who cares what an ac­
tor says? It that a professional opin­
ion?" Friedman feels that sensation­
alist news sources disregard the real
research-driven parts of UFOiogy.
"The problem is the media don't
pay any attention to facts and data.
They aren't seeking truth, they're
seeking ratings, like that alien au­
topsy movie," said Friedman. And him to lose credibility.
"Every time I've checked on Mr.
Santilli, l've found it he was
lying .. .let me give you an example
when r say he lied. He quietly told
me that the name of the cameraman
was Jack Barnett, the first guy to film
Elvis way back in the fifties ... a
French researcher located a page of
the book Elvis Presley A Lo Z, and it
describes that first filming, and in·
deed, that firstcameraman was Jack
Barnett. Santilli's story was that he
bought the film from the
cameraman ... the name fits the de­
scription. Unfortunately for Mr.
Santilli, Jack Barnett died in 1967,"
Friedman revealed.

told Friedman that people were
visible in the footage, including
President Hary Truman. After
doing teSl!arch at the Truman li­
brary, Friedman found that
lruman was in Ottowa at the time,
traveling on a public train trip,
hardly the kind of trip conduave
to viewing an autopsy in New
Mexico. alien autopsy film a fake
"There have been three motion

said that it was a fraud, that this
wasn't the way they did autopsies.
They would've used color film for
anything medical, for example,
and this is black and white. There
wou Id have been a camera on the
ceiling. another mounted on a tri­
pod, and a guy taking stills. None
of that seems to have beeJI the
case," Friedman explained.
Still, he acknowledges that the
film may spark heightened public
awareness of Roswell. "I give it
credit for stimulating ctiscussion ... l am disappointed tho1tso much atten­
tion has beeen pa1d to this garbage,''
he mused.

stated.
Interest­
ingly, lusde­
fense of the
documents
knew about it.
The documents tell of the creation
of a committee to study a course of
action on the matter. The commis­
sion, code-named Majestic-12, or
MAJIK-12 or MJ-12 for short, is
where Friedman gets the name of his
forthcoming book, Top 5':cret/MApK.
In this book, he defends the MJ-12
documents from critics like Kevin
Randle and Don Schmitt. has already
won him fl.
nancial support from possibly the
most vocal critic of UFOiogy, Phillip
J, Klass.
"Of course, [Kevin) Randle never
mentions, and of course, Phil Klass
doesn'l either, that Klass paid me
$1,000 for proving him wrong about
the typeface on the Cutler /1\vinlng
memo, H Friedman said. He tells the
story of how the memo, one of the MJ-12 documents, won him $1,000.
"He !Klass] offered me $100 each
for every genuine memo done II\ the
right size and style type. I sent him
twenty, then fourteen, then an in·
voice, and then seven, and he sent
me $1,000,'' Friedman laughed.
Friedman scorns Klass for not going
to a government library, where he
claims 250,000 such documents ex­
ist. This, he says, shows the intel·
lectual character of the anti·
UFOiogists. They "do research by
proclamation."
In his new book and in the inter•
view, Friedman enumerates several
arguments in caref\11 defense of his
MJ-12 views. "Yes, I'm still con­
vinced. Now, I hav, shown that
some newer documents are frauds.
You've got tO call them as you see
them. But that some are genuine is
far more important than that some
are false," hl? surmises.
Friedman has had to wade
through several levels of govern­
ment ~tonewalling to get this
far."The Air Force has certainly put

Ing. The gu)' who put out lhe
Roswell report, Colonel Richard
Weber, has t;iught courses on the
use of disinformation for the Air
force Office of Special Investiga­
tions," he explained.
However. Friedman and com­
pany have won several victories,
such as when Citizens Against
UFO Secrecy went after the OA
ror classified documents. "They
said they didn't have any ... we ap•
peal, they deny, we go to court,
lhcy come back with almost 900
documents," -Friedman said.
After numerous other Freedom
of Information Act Requests, de­
lays, appeals, etc., Friedman got
more documents from the CIA
which were 75% blacked out. He
got a few documents where "on
two pages, you can read eight
words." The National Security
Agency (NSA) absolutely stone­
walled them.
"There's no question that those
two agencies I the NSA and the
C!AI are indeed withholding data.
I notice Carl Sagan, in his new
book, Demo11 Hau11led Pla11et, says
lhat the NSA released partial lines
on all lhedoc:uments. .. They didn't
release ,1nythrng. It's a total lie in
other words," he flatly stated.
Still, Friedman remains optimiS·
lie for future document requests. "I talked to the lawyer who got the
mind control stuff from the CIA
many years ago. First release was
4.00 pages. He yelled and screamed
and fussed and they found another
400 pages. And then another 400
and on and on until he ended up
with 400,()00 pages. The first release
was 1% of what he eventually got,''
he ex•
plained.
f-riooman he didn't like, a conspll'acy he didn't
like. People tend to forget he 1& not
a scientist," Friedman continued.
Many people ask Friedman lhe
same two queshons about htS work:
namely, why would aliens want to
come here, and if the government
knew they had, why would they
keep it secret.

Hoagland

former NASA employees to reveal
pictures of alleged structures on the
moon. Hoagland, who is best
known for his work with the "face
on Mars" is a dubious source, ac­
cording to Friedman.
"[ have looked over the Hoagland
st;uff, and I'm intrigued by the face
on Mars and all this, but he's gone
well past his data, as he usually
does. He didn't deliver the goods,"
Friedman said, adding that the
moon pictures were not nearly as
impressive as Hoagland had led
peopl.e to believe.
"Hoagland never met an adjective a n -
swers.
How­
ever,
the third is the one that most in­
trigued me. He says it is a "political
one." He explained that "the
younger generation, which was
never alive when there wasn't a
space program, would immediately
push for a hew view of ourselves.
Instead of Canadians, Americans,
Russian, Chinese, Greek, whatever,
[we could see ourselves) as Earth­
lings. A lot of people :;ay 'gee, that's
great, il would solve all our prob­
lems,' until you realize that there's
no government on this planet that
wants their dti1.ens to owe their pri­
mary allegiance to the planet instead
ofindividual governments. Nation-alism is the only game m town."
To the first question, Friedman has
published a pos.ition paper giving
twenty-six reasons why aliens could
visit the planet and still not want to
"land on the White House lawn," as
he puts it-some of the possibilities
being they are students observing
the development of a primitive cul­
ture, or more amusingly, that they
are after free hunting and fishing­
but the most interesting one is prob­
ably the best way to end this story.
It is particularly noteworthy given
the context Friedman uses it to give
an explanation for why aliens may
have been visiting Roswell, New
Mexico. He says:
" .. .I only want to make one as­
sumpnon about any advanced cul­
ture capable of interstellar travel,
namely, that it's concerned abou.t Its
own survival and security, which
seems eminently reasonable to me.
That being the case, you have to
keep tabs on the primitives in the
neighborhood, but only close labs
on those primitives who show signs
of being able yto bother you. At the
end of World War II there were three
such signs visible to any alien check­
ing the place out. Powerful nuclear
weapons, powerful rockets, V-2s
specifically, and then powerful ra­
dar,sending out signals which don't
come back, which is unlike some of
the systems we had used before that.

screams, sad,
but there's hope. PIONEER PROFILE:
By Jamie Dia111011d
H ey all you wet and wild
residents of Palatine Hill
and welcome back to an-
other fine week of intrigue, sus­
pense, and my personal favorite:
Horror!
Well, with that out of th.e way let"s
review what we know about this
week's subject that deals with a fear
that lurks deep in the orifie of even
the most unassuming of LC stu­
dents: EAR WAX SURPLUS!
First question: how many times a
day should I clean my ear canal in
order to not over-dry my skin 7 Well,
the answer is in the question. How
many times a day should depend on
how much ear wax one produces.
Someone with dry skin and low oil
producing pores should only clean
once a day in the morning, prefer­
ably after a shower (this is when the
ear wax is most easily harvested). A
person with heavy oil production
should carry a grocery bag full of
cotton-tippers with them at all
times. If you are cursed with
"Valvoline pores" then it's your
duty to deal with this phenomena
accordingly. Oean whenever you
think about it, however, once your
canal becomes red and irritated, then it is time to cut back and possi­
bly consult a physician.
Next question: how come people
make fun of my ear wax and why is
the world so cruel? Well, to be truth•
ful, ear wax is disgusting and is con­
sidered asthetically repulsive in the
hygiene community. As far as why
the world issocruel, well that's just
the way most people are; what you
see is what you get and if you·re'
looking at a fat candle in someone's
ear-hole, you're bound to jump to
some conclusion, it's only human.
However, there is hope for every­
one who suffers from thi.q sound
clogging agent. It's all about safety
swabs and what they can do for you.
Gently stroke the inside of your ear
hole with the cotton end of a swab
(the more expensive the swab the
softer it 1.s so don't cheat yourselO
and swab until you reach your ear­
drum. You will know you've gone
loo far 1f you hear a loud cnmchmg
sound and some violent discomfort,
so be careful for heaven's sake.
Look people, 11's your call. Get out
there and swab up, H's going to
make a difference. Until next week,
take care, take it easy and for the
love ot God, Hlet the OO)' wash your

much? Mark Woods, a
sophomore right here at LC, is
making u nume for himself in
the National Teenage
Powerlifling scene.
Woods. a member or NASA
(The Naruro.1 A1hlete Strength
Association). ho.s ochieved
some very impressive numbers in !he squat, bench press. and dead lif1
e~ercises.
Woods ls currently # I in the USA in the deadlift, 584 lbs., # 15 in the
squat, 518 lbs. und combined with his 314 lb. bench, Woods has the #10
combined total in the USA at 242 lbs.
How docs one get this strong, you may nsk. Lifiing since he was 14 years
old, Woods wanted to get !\way from being pushed around like any normal
teenager would. However. Woods continued on where others quit and
began compc1ing at the age of 15. Woods hos been in five competitions
now and his hues1 efforts have gonen him recognition in the widely
recognized POWERLIFTING USA Magazine
What is even more impressive about these feat.. of strength is 1hru Woods
has achieved them without the use of steroids or ou1side substances.
Being a member of NASA. Woods prides himself on having never used
steroids 10 get ahead.
"There's no point being dependent on chemicals for strength." said
Woods of his oll-nntural •tylc.
NASA Is an associ111.ion that i~ rw:rved for po"1!rlir1ers who have never
used steroids.
Woods continues to use the l.C weight room to get stronger, so, rf you
