The mainstream media has misinformed us for years about UFO studies conducted by highly regarded scientists at the finest universities in the country. The U.S. government has covered up the alien presence through misinformation, distortion, obfuscation, and ridicule. Some prominent, politically connected scientists and professional writers have engaged in the cover-up. Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers examines the wealth of archival documents that clearly demonstrate this cooperative disinformation effort and refute 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 government scientists whose job it is to deny. The Air Force, FBI, CIA, and NSA's involvement. Book jacket.
