 How can the author be objective? August 17, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
Stanton Friedman does UFOs as a profession, lecturing, writing so my question is how can he research this topic in an objective manner? Also, it seems stranger than the topic to continue to use the old term "Flying Saucer" I think the material in this book is too one sided.

Just because you have a degree in science (masters in physics) doesn't automatically make everything you do scientific. In fact, very little research that Stanton Friedman has done recently could truely be called scientific, historical maybe, but not scientific. He speaks with the most authority when discussing exotic propulsion systems based on his record of employment decades ago, but he seems to have lost the concept of science since then. It is highly unlikely that memories of an abduction recovered via hypnosis would even be accepted as evidence in a court of law and it certainly couldn't be considered scientific. In fact, Mr.Friedman may be slightly paranoid on this point because he spends a good deal of print blasting those who think differently than he does.
Same old UFO stuff over and over nothing new August 13, 2008

I think that after all this time Mr. Friedman would have something new to report but it seems that he is rehashing the same old stuff over and over again.
 More a science book than a new age title August 12, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Nuclear physicist and lecturer Stanton Friedman packs in over 40 years of research on UFOs and advanced nuclear and space systems to survey data from a variety of large-scale scientific UFO studies in Flying Saucers and Science, bringing these studies to lay readers in plain terms. While this is more a science book than a new age title, public libraries strong in new age holdings will likely purchase it more readily than serious science libraries. It's the general-interest reader who will likely benefit most from the study.
Sad August 8, 2008

If the irrational, ad hominem attacks that were the basis of of his arguments the other night on Larry King Live are the sort used in this book, I mourn for the trees that were killed for such tripe.
