William Moore → Stanton Friedman

co-authored "The Roswell Incident" (1980)

investigated the Marcel claims from 1978 alongside Moore, who published "The Roswell Incident" that same period with Charles Berlitz

Friedman did not co-write the book. Weaver printed 13: "Also in 1978, a UFO researcher, Stanton Friedman, met with Marcel and began investigating the claims ... Similarly, two authors, William L. Moore and Charles Berlitz, also engaged in research which led them to publish a book, The Roswell Incident, in 1980." The page describes two parallel efforts. The link's own evidence string has read "Berlitz & Moore" all along.
