One thought on “Stanton Friedman on UFO frauds: Bob Lazar and Philip J. Corso”
Stanton Friedman had a critical view of many figures in the UFO community, including Bob Lazar and Philip J. Corso. He dismissed Lazar’s claims about his alleged work on reverse-engineering alien technology at Area 51, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support his story and questioning the veracity of his educational background and credentials.
Regarding Philip Corso, Friedman acknowledged Corso’s military background but was skeptical of his assertions about having handled extraterrestrial materials and technology. Friedman often emphasized the importance of rigorous evidence and scientific validation in the field of ufology, and he believed that sensational claims without substantial backing could undermine the credibility of the entire movement.
Friedman’s commitment to a more serious scientific approach in researching UFOs often set him apart from others who promoted more sensational or unverifiable stories. His views on figures like Lazar and Corso reflect his broader concern for the integrity of the UFO discussion and the necessity for credible evidence.
