Stanton Friedman is dead. These are four quick and easy words to type, but it seems they shouldn't be. Their import should be staggering to anyone who has been interested in UFOs for any real length of time. Loren Coleman has the particulars on the person, his personal and public life, and something of his legacy. "The world of 'flying saucers' and ufology thought has lost a giant. All who meet him were touched by his magic and enthusiasm." Thus Coleman concludes his worthy tribute to Stan. Though their opinions may have differed to varying degrees from his positions, those of us who talked with Stan over the years will retain their own fond and special memories of the man. One feels badly for those who didn't have that opportunity. But all should appreciate Stan's zeal to debate the debunkers, and recognize the iconic images of Stan holding up a redacted document, starkly resplendent with blacked out passages drowning out scraps of legible text.

R.I.P. Stanton Friedman recalls for us the many "Friedmanisms," quips Stan would use to summarize a point or needle an opponent. Kevin Randle's
Stan Friedman has Died fleshes out some of Stan's work on Roswell and emphasizes his "tenacious" research. Deepest condolences to Stan's family from us at The Anomalist.
Requiescat in pace. (WM)
