Stanton Friedman Day and Area 51

In 2007 the City of Fredericton in New Brunswick, Canada recognized August 27 as Stanton Friedman Day. Stanton Friedman is best known as the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident. He has published numerous books and papers dealing with UFOs and worked as a nuclear physicist for 14 years with companies such as GE, GM and Westinghouse.

Friedman recently wrote a book review of Annie Jacobsen's Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base. Jacobsen argues that what actually happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 involved a remote controlled Soviet spy plane containing genetically modified thirteen year old boys. Friedman, like many others, is not impressed with Jacobsen's claims, nor her sources. It would seem her book contains more science fiction than fact. Maybe some of her inspiration came from Star Trek Deep Space Nine's fictional version of what happened at Roswell.

Below is a July 25th podcast from Matrix Radio that contains an interview with Stanton Friedman discussing the incident at Roswell and Jacobsen's claims. The interview with Friedman starts at 5:30 and his comments on Jacobsen's book start at 14:10 with further comments at 21:22 and Friedman's discussion of Orwell Well's 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds.
