Let's ask Stanton Friedman if it is possible for the government to
completely cover up a story as earth-shaking as extraterrestrial?
SF: I think it's extraordinarily easy. In the first place, the good tools
for getting the best data all belong to the government. They've got the
radar systems, the closed communication systems, the aircraft loaded with
instrumentation, the Air Defense Command and so forth. And all that data is
born classified. If you were to ask me as a physicist what I'd like to do to
find out about flying saucers, I'd say, well, you've got to have a system to
detect them, then you need another system to monitor them once you've picked
one up, then you want to communicate back and forth and get guys up there
with instruments as close as you can when they're there. The government's
got all of that, and it's all classified.
So, that's the first thing: they've got a closed system to begin
with.Secondly, when we talk government, we imply--at least some people
do--that everybody knows and nobody's talking. That's not how security works
at all. I had a clearance for 15 years. The "need to know"concept is most
important. As an example of that, I was working on radiation shielding for
nuclear airplanes for General Electric. I would have liked access to secret
restricted data on radiation shielding being produced by Westinghouse for
the nuclear submarine program. I mean, a shield is a shield. You've got the
same difficulties with light weight and that sort of thing. I didn't have a
need-to-know for their data. I had the right level of clearance, but it got
me nowhere. So, the key is compartmentalization, which was honed to a
science during World War II by some of the same people who were apparently
involved with UFOs post-War.
How did we keep the Manhattan Project secret as long as we did. Two billion
dollars in 1942 money, tens of thousands of people involved in the
construction of enormous facilities that at one point were using eleven
percent of the electricity in the United States, to blow uranium
hexaflouride through little holes in a mile-long building--and yet, it was
kept secret. Secrets are easy to keep, as long as you control the detection
systems, the communications systems, and the interference systems, if you
will. I've talked to a number of people who worked for Truman and
Eisenhower. Every single one agreed that secrets could have always been
kept, at least post-World War II. No problem at all. Perhaps UFO debunkers
hope to protect the public from the disturbing revelations that aliens have
been here for as long as mankind has, or longer. And that a certain faction
of the Military and the Secret Government have kept this information hidden
from the public since at least 1947.
The controllers of the UFO information must feel that it is their patriotic
duty to protect society from possible economic, political and social
disorder that would surely follow the Government disclosures of ETs visiting
Earth. Although the case for the flying saucer reality is far better than
the case against most convicted criminals. If you do it on an evidential
basis, you can look at things like Ted Phillips' collected information on
over 4,400 physical trace cases from 66 countries. These are cases where the
saucer is seen on or near the ground, and after it leaves, one finds clear
physical changes such as burn circles and burn rings, landing gear marks,
swirled vegetation, dried out soil, and so forth. People say there is no
physical evidence. Well, if a footprint and a fingerprint are physical
evidence, then the physical trace cases are certainly physical evidence. And
the same things keep happening allover the world. The problem is most people
are unaware of the evidence, even though there is a preponderance of
evidence. Given the physical trace cases, the radar sightings, the
photographs and the eye-witness testimony from people all over the world, we
have quite sufficient evidence to conclude that our planet is being visited
by manufactured objects behaving in ways that we Earthlings cannot yet
duplicate, and that therefore were produced someplace else."
