He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident. Friedman was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as General Electric (1956-1959), Aerojet General Nucleonics (1959-1963), General Motors (1963-1966), Westinghouse (1966-1968), TRW Systems (1969-1970), and McDonnell Douglas, where he worked on advanced, classified programs on nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and compact nuclear power plants for space applications. Friedman's professional affiliations have included the American Nuclear Society, the American Physical Society, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and AFTRA. The author asserts that after the July 1947 recovery of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico, President Truman established an all-star cast (Majestic 12) to deal with the saucer and its non-human inhabitants. Top Secret/Majic is the result of nuclear physicist and renowned UFO investigator Stanton T. Friedman's twenty-one year search for the truth about the mysterious Operation Majestic 12, President Truman's top-secret UFO investigation team. In this landmark book, he tells the incredible tale of the July, 1947 recovery of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico, and the establishment by President Truman of a truly all-star cast to deal with the saucer and its non-human inhabitants. The first four Directors of Central Intelligence, the first Secretary of Defense, and several outstanding scientists and military leaders were part of the team. Through painstaking research and startling evidence--including documents that have never before been published--Friedman effectively exposes the U.S. government's biggest-kept secret: a UFO cover-up.
