There is a clear conspiracy to deny the existence of UFOs. The mainstream media has misinformed us for years about UFO studies conducted by highly regarded scientists associated with some of the finest universities in the USA. There is significant evidence that the U.S. government has covered up the alien presence through misinformation, distortion, obfuscation and ridicule. Some prominent, politically connected scientists have engaged in the cover up. And a few professional writers have helped to successfully label any scientists who have been persuaded by the evidence and brave enough to take a stand as unscientific charlatans, fanatics and wierdos. FACT, FICTION, AND FLYING SAUCERS examines the wealth of archival documents that clearly demonstrate this cooperative disinformation effort and refutes the false claims made by these professional scoffers. Friedman and Marden set the record straight by examining politically motivated misinformation and presenting the compelling evidence that separates fact from fiction. They reveal: * The most compelling UFO evidence, including a variety of large-scale scientific studies. * The current state of UFOlogy and what the future holds. * The media's role in disclosure and denial. * The US government scientists whose job it is to deny. * The Air Force, FBI, CIA and NSA's involvement.
