Enter Stanton Friedman, a former itinerant nuclear physicist now living in New Brunswick, Canada, who has long been, in his words, "a clear-cut, unambiguous UFOlogist." In 1978, while waiting in a Baton Rouge, La., television station for an interview, Friedman was told that Jesse Marcel, long retired from the Air Force and living nearby, had once handled the wreckage of a UFO. After quizzing Marcel, who still believed the debris he retrieved was extraterrestrial, Friedman reviewed the old stories about Roswell, painstakingly sought out and interviewed other witnesses, and came to a dramatic conclusion: there had been a cover...

ITHACA, New York: Visions of the moon as a giant refueling station for future space missions evaporated as a team of scientists said that, contrary to a December report, there's no evidence of ice there. Using new radar images from Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, astronomers from Cornell University determined that what the Defense Department's Clementine space probe showed as waves of frozen water is instead merely the rough surfaces of impact craters. If true, the news could mean a setback for space explorers hoping to use the ice to produce hydrogen and oxygen, the main components...
