Nuke Physicist Discusses Roswell, UFOs
Sorry, this is NOT about the Planet Muon. But it is about the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life visiting Earth. A fascinating article titled "On the Road to Roswell: A Discussion with Nuclear Physicist Stanton Friedman" explores the controversy of the July 1947 "Roswell incident," in which UFOs were spotted over the area in New Mexico and, most importantly, one was shot down and recovered. Maybe. Maybe not.
While some mechanics liens attorneys are quick to mock and poke fun at the notion of intelligence from other planets, nuclear physicists like Dr. Friedman give it careful and serious consideration (not to mention the tens of thousands of people from around the world, including the late Carl Sagan, miliary pilots, top government ministers, former governors, countless police officers, etc.).
Raiders News Network has a series of interviews that focus on the 60th Anniversary of the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, UFO Incident. Here is an excerpt form the first:
STAN FRIEDMAN: I first heard of Roswell in the early 1970s from a woman named Lydia Sleppy whose son was a forest ranger in California. He had had a good sighting. My associate (Bobbi Ann Slate Gironda , long deceased) and I spoke with him and he suggested we talk to his mother who had had a good sighting near Albuquerque. We did speak to her and after she told us about the sighting, she mentioned that when she had been working at an Albuquerque Radio Station in the late 1940s, she was asked to type the story coming in from a broadcaster at their Roswell affiliate station for a newswire. He dictated how a flying saucer had been recovered and was being sent to Wright Field. Part way through the story the bell went off on the machine she was using to put the story on the news wire. The FBI instructed her not to continue the transmission. She remembered the names of some of the people and I located several, but came to a dead end. I should stress that New Mexico was a hotbed of classified Research and Development activities and certainly it was expected that there would be spies and counter intelligence concerns.

carl sagan did not believe in rozwell, or any other ufo stories. he believed in the statistical probability of life on other planets. but he very much believed that none of these lifeforms had ever visited earth. he also pointed out that stories of ufos decreased dramatically with the increasing prevalence of camcorders. hmmm.
