Stanton T. Friedman
American-Canadian nuclear physicist (1934–2019) who became a full-time ufologist and the main champion of the Roswell crash story.

The account
Friedman left full-time physics work in 1970 to investigate UFOs and lectured at more than 600 colleges, later living in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He was the first civilian to document the Roswell site and argued it was a genuine alien crash. He defended the disputed Majestic 12 documents and co-wrote 'Captured!' (2007) on the Betty and Barney Hill case.
The sceptical view
Sceptics and other Roswell researchers criticised his defence of MJ-12, which most analysts consider forged; the US Air Force's 1990s reports attributed Roswell to Project Mogul.
