I think when you play a meaningful part in bringing about the death of over a hundred thousand people

and the injury of a comparable number, you don't think of that with ease.

The whole point of the doomsday machine is lost.

If you keep it a secret, why didn't you tell the world, eh?

On the 19th of May, 1953, something extraordinary happened in the Nevada desert.

A new kind of nuclear bomb, codenamed Harry, was detonated at the Nevada test site.

It unleashed 32 kilotons of energy, twice the power dropped on Hiroshima.

The military at the time was running

Operation Upshot Knothole, a series of nuclear tests to study how the blasts affected homes, buildings, and infrastructure.

But of the dozens of nuclear devices used, it seemed that

Harry, which caused the largest blast, might have had an unintended side effect.

One of the engineers on site studying all of this data was a decorated

World War II veteran named Arthur Stancil.

I can assure you that your name will not be used.

The man had been working as a consultant on blast effects of atom bombs

when he was suddenly ordered to report for a new mission.

Along with 15 other specialists, he was ordered to leave his belongings behind.

He was flown to Phoenix and transported on a bus with blacked out windows to a classified location near Kingman, Arizona.

They were told a secret test vehicle had crashed.

His job was to determine its impact velocity.

I accept that it was probably some

United States government vehicle, a highly classified vehicle.

In fact, we were told that that's what it was.

Under the floodlights, he saw the most exotic craft he had ever seen.

It looked like two deep saucers fused together, buried 20 inches in the sand.

It was roughly 30 feet in diameter, made of a dull brushed metal material.

It had no landing gear, no visible damage, and a small open hatch.

Inside a nearby tent, a number of four -foot -tall humanoid figures laid out on a table.

While all of this might sound unbelievable, more evidence of the Kingman crash surfaced recently.

Former intelligence official Chris Mellon revealed that this flying saucer had been recovered and studied over the decades since its retrieval.

And Stancil himself was no random witness.

His record is impeccable.

He earned three

Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and after the war began, he sustained a career in physics and engineering at Wright -Patterson Air Force Base.

And a declassified report from Operation Upshot Nothull confirms Stancil was on site for the nuclear testing there.

But it's the name mentioned alongside Stancil's, the head of the Special Studies Department at Wright -Patterson,

who is much more of a mystery, Dr. Eric Wang.

Unlike Stansel, Wang left almost no trace in public records.

Despite having his name endow a civil engineering research facility at the University of New Mexico,

any other details about what else he might have been doing in his super -secretive career are non -existent.

Attempts verify his background lead to nothing.

No biographical details, no employment records, no published research.

It was as if he had been erased from the records.

The mystery of Dr. Wang was picked up in the 1980s by UFO researcher William Steinman.

After months of searching, he finally found a clue, an obituary in an old issue of a Mechanical Engineering magazine.

It turned out that Dr. Eric H.

Wang, born in 1906, had originally come from Vienna.

In fact, he had graduated from Vienna Technical Institute, and there are suggestions that he was a contemporary of Victor Schauberger,

the man rumored to have developed a revolutionary propulsion system, perhaps even conceptual flying saucers for the Nazis.

Steinman discovered that

Wang immigrated to the US before

World War II, lectured at the University of Cincinnati, and eventually became head of the Department of Special Studies at Wright -Patterson.

In 1956, Wang's department was relocated to New Mexico, to the Sandia Laboratories Complex at Kirtland Air Force Base.

Steinman hit another dead end, and despite being warned off this trail, he took a different approach.

He tracked down Dr. Wang's widow, Maria.

And that's when things took a turn.

Maria Wang confirmed that her late husband had worked on classifying projects at Wright -Patterson, projects that involved technology not of this world.

She went even further, claiming that before his death, Eric had confided in her that the U .S government was studying recovered extraterrestrial craft.

But it was Maria's next revelation that was truly shocking.

She said that her husband had reported directly to Henry Kissinger.

Thank you.

Nice to see you all.

Not only that, but that Kissinger was deeply involved in the flying saucer program.

That Kissinger had overseen much of her late husband's work, and that he had even visited their home on occasion.

Yes, Henry Kissinger.

The same Kissinger that's one of the most influential and controversial figures in the 20th century.

We believe that peace is at hand.

National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford the Harvard academic,

nuclear strategist, the man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Vietnam War,

but who is also considered by many a war criminal.

That Henry Kissinger.

But if Maria Wang's claim was true, and Kissinger had worked with her husband before he died in 1960,

that would have placed Kissinger at the center of the most secretive program in history before he had even entered public office.

That is a huge claim.

Is it possible that

Henry Kissinger could have been overseeing the legacy UFO program?

There is no country in the world where it is conceivable

that a man of my origins could be standing here next to the President of the United States.

To understand that question, to investigate that claim, we need to take a few steps back.

Because Kissinger's rise to power and possible involvement in UFOs didn't just come through academia.

It started in Germany at the end of the war in army intelligence.

In today's world, staying informed can feel like navigating a maze of headlines, each with its own agenda.

That's why I started using

Ground News, a tool designed for skeptics and truth seekers like many in this community.

It's an app and website created by a former NASA engineer to tackle a problem we all face,

how the way we consume information can distort our understanding of the world.

Ground News brings transparency to the news.

It gathers coverage from over 50 ,000 sources worldwide, organizes stories by topic, and even breaks down the bias and ownership behind each perspective.

With features like the bias distribution bar and factuality score, it's easy to see how different outlets frame the same story.

For example, when I was researching those mysterious drone sightings, Ground News gave me instant access to over 200 articles, helping me uncover every angle,

from the facts to the spin.

For the left, from Radar Online, Donald Trump says, shoot them down.

But on the right, news refers to it as a rogue loose nuke.

This just goes to show how different the framing can be based on where you're reading it.

So if you're tired of echo chambers and one -sided narratives, Ground News is your ultimate tool for staying informed and making better decisions.

You can even follow your favorite topics and compare coverage to find the most credible sources.

And for a limited time, you can get the same plan I use every day for nearly half the price.

Or gift it to someone you know and have more informed discussions and hopefully chill out about those drones.

101

I only promote brands I vet, and I think you'll find them just as valuable as I do.

102

Ground news, the truth is out there.

103

You just need the right tools to find it.

104

Henry Kissinger was born in 1923 in Germany to a Jewish family

105

and emigrated to the U .S in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution.

106

A gifted student, he was drafted into the U .S.

107

Army during World War II, where he fought in major battles, witnessed the liberation of a concentration camp,

108

and was recruited into the Counterintelligence Corp, or CIC.

109

The CIC, essentially the Army's FBI, played a key role in post -war Europe,

110

securing Nazi technology, hunting war criminals, and safeguarding military secrets.

111

It was deeply embedded in classified operations, including those connected to the Manhattan Project.

112

It's also frequently mentioned in accounts of the Roswell crash and Majestic 12 leaks.

113

Kissinger was assigned to denazification efforts in occupied Germany.

114

His ability to communicate with locals and manage post -war chaos earned him a reputation for confidence and diplomacy.

115

At just 22, he was entrusted with overseeing the entire town of Bensheim, a role which provided him significant authority.

116

Later, he was assigned to work in Oberammergau, a picturesque town in the Bavarian Alps with a lot of hidden significance.

117

Oberammergau happened to be the location of.. of a secret weapons facility that had been dug into the nearby mountains.

118

The Messerschmitt Design Branch had been moved there during the war,

119

and they were responsible for developing new jet -propelled planes and radio -controlled anti -aircraft missiles.

120

Henry Kissinger was one of the first officers to occupy the barracks there in 1945.

121

The timing of this assignment places Kissinger right in the middle of what was, in the eyes of the U .S.

122

Army, a treasure trove of Nazi rocket scientists and researchers.

123

Oberammergau was a crucial location for counterintelligence operations and the development of Operation Paperclip,

124

the American program which secretly imported 1500 plus Nazi scientists.

125

In fact, the designer of the V2 rocket and the future head of America's rocket program,

126

Wernher von Braun, had himself been apprehended by the Allies at Oberammergau.

127

You spend most of your time arguing with other people what the more important things aren't.

128

You don't get a job done.

129

He, along with some 400 other scientists, had been ordered to relocate to this area by SS General Hans Kammler.

130

Kammler was infamous not only for his role in designing concentration camps, but for overseeing the Nazis' most advanced weapons programs.

131

Alongside conventional rocketry and nuclear research, there were persistent rumors of more exotic experiments going on at the time.

132

These experiments involved anti -gravity propulsion and flying saucer -like craft.

133

Victor Schauberger, an Austrian scientist, had allegedly developed a craft with an anti -gravity effect that defied conventional physics.

134

According to historian

135

Nick Cook's great book, The Hunt for Zero Point, CIC agents interrogated Schauberger for nine months, fully aware of his most classified work.

136

They reportedly considered his discoveries more important than Nazi nuclear research itself.

137

The technology they secured, Cook suggests, had characteristics of a UFO, a craft that seemingly defied the laws of physics.

138

After the war ended, another

139

Army CIC agent, Neil Gersheimer, tricked Schauberger into assigning all of his work over to the United States.

140

The intellectual property around these exotic propulsion principles would end up at Brookhaven National Labs in Long Island.

141

So this would infer that CIC agents of the same organization as Kissinger, in the same field of operations,

142

had already gathered the intelligence to understand the secret program.

143

If the CIC was actively collecting intelligence on this exotic technology, Kissinger would have almost certainly been aware of it.

144

His assignment placed him at the center of the most sensitive intelligence gathering area.

145

His credentials, relocation to Oberammergau, fluency in German, and his prior experience in arresting and questioning ranking

146

Nazis in Bensheim.

147

All of this would lead any reasonable person to believe

148

that Kissinger was at least peripherally involved in managing the transition of these

149

Nazi scientists and their secrets into U .S custody.

150

Whether Kissinger knew about experimental propulsion or otherworldly technology remains speculative, but there is a distinct possibility that he could have been trusted with interrogating,

151

translating, and negotiating these secrets with Nazi scientists as part of their passage to freedom in the United States.

152

All of this at least places Kissinger at the crime scene, so to speak.

153

So the question remains, what exactly did

154

Henry Kissinger have to do with UFOs?

155

Henry Kissinger enrolled at Harvard in 1947, balancing the life of a dedicated student with his ongoing ties to the Counterintelligence Corps.

156

While his peers saw him as a reclusive bookworm, he remained close with his army colleagues and maintained an interest in intelligence operations.

157

He graduated in 1950 as the Cold War intensified.

158

The Korean War was underway.

159

The Soviets had tested their first atomic bomb, and China had fallen to communism.

160

Harvard played a prominent role in the commingling of the state intelligence community and academia.

161

James Conant, Harvard's president from 1933 to 1955, was a key figure in the Manhattan Project,

162

managing the delicate balance between scientists and the military.

163

A close ally of Oppenheimer's and Vannevar Bush's, he played a central role in shaping America's atomic age,

164

advising the Atomic Energy Commission and the Joint Research Development Board.

165

Conant was second only to Oppenheimer as an advisor to the government on military and civilian applications of nuclear technology.

166

He was a staunch

167

Cold Warrior, setting

168

Harvard's tone as an anti -communist stronghold.

169

Another connection to the hidden UFO history was Harvard's top astronomer, Dr. Donald Menzel.

170

A leading UFO debunker in the 1950s, he insisted that all sightings had natural explanations.

171

But was he hiding something?

172

Recent claims by astrophysicist Dr. Beatrice Villoreal suggest Menzel ordered the

173

destruction of Harvard's astronomical photographic plates taken during the 1952 Washington, D .C.

174

UFO flap.

175

He suddenly becomes the director of Harvard Observatory and he destroys one side of the photographic plates.

176

And he doesn't ask, as I understand from the record, she doesn't ask the astronomers to select the plates.

177

No, he asked his secretary to go and throw away one side of the plates.

178

And there's a woman, Dorit Hofleit,

179

that has been like telling about the story in her memoirs and kind of he started revenging on her later too for,

180

as I understood it, that she tried to protect some of the plates.

181

He also threw away a number of the log books.

182

Adding to the mystery, Menzel was named in the MJ -12 documents as part of Truman's top secret UFO research panel in the late 1940s.

183

Now, there are definite issues with the MJ -12 documents, but there are core truths in those documents that have been corroborated by open source research.

184

More on that later.

185

Another key figure, physicist Louis Branscombe, earned his PhD from Harvard in 1949 and played a crucial role in the 1960s Condon Committee,

186

which dismissed UFOs as scientifically insignificant.

187

As director of the National Bureau of Standards, Branscombe allegedly offered committee chair Edward Condon a deal,

188

help bury the UFO question and get your security clearance back.

189

There was a close relationship between the institutions of state power and Harvard, hidden or not.

190

For Harvard and Kissinger, serving the Cold War machine, whether through the Department of Defense or the CIA, was a patriotic duty.

191

How might this have affected the hidden history?

192

Well, potentially, any crash retrievals or advanced physics would have been tightly controlled under Cold War priorities.

193

Secrecy was not just about preventing public panic.

194

It was also about staying ahead in an existential battle with the Soviet Union. And

195

while the Cold war never erupted into direct global conflict

196

it was still a war millions died in its proxy battles for those shaping policy

197

it was just as existential as the fight against nazis only

198

now with the added threat of weapons capable of ending civilization

199

itself for kissinger the apocalyptic stakes of the cold war shaped

200

his early career neil ferguson's great biography highlights his deep interest in psychological warfare, the art of using propaganda,

201

disinformation, and psyops to manipulate adversaries and allies alike.

202

In the 1950s, this meant undermining the Soviets without direct confrontation.

203

Kissinger didn't just theorize, he put these theories into practice.

204

He authored reports on psychological warfare, and with his mentor, William Elliott, launched a series of international seminars at Harvard.

205

These gatherings, backed by the intelligence community, aimed to cultivate foreign intellectuals as allies of American influence.

206

At the same time, Kissinger maintained direct ties to the CIA, including contact with its chief, Alan Dulles.

207

So his transition from military intelligence to academia wasn't a break, it was a continuation.

208

But Kissinger's influence extended beyond Harvard.

209

In 1951, 1952, and again in 1955, He worked as a consultant for the Psychological Strategy Board and its successor,

210

the Operations Coordinating Board.

211

These high -level programs launched by Truman were designed to unify psychological warfare efforts across U .S agencies.

212

A declassified CIA document reveals the Psychological Strategy Board's core mission, winning hearts and minds through strategic influence.

213

More crucially, it highlights how only a select few were deemed capable of staffing this new psychological warfare oversight body,

214

whether they were pulled from existing agencies or recruited from outside the government.

215

Kissinger, it seems, was one of them.

216

The Psychological Strategy Board, or PSB, also has strong connections to the hidden history of UFOs.

217

Philip J.

218

Corso was a member, another CIC agent who went into government.

219

He was on the staff of Eisenhower's National Security Council

220

and eventually became the chief of the Pentagon's foreign technology desk in Army Research and Development.

221

Corso went on to claim in his book, The Day After Roswell, that alien tech had been recovered and reverse -engineered from crash retrieval programs.

222

Another PSB figure, Douglas Jackson, was special assistant to the president under Eisenhower.

223

He served as liaison between the CIA and the Pentagon.

224

By 1960, Jackson had moved into publishing, becoming head of Life magazine.

225

After Kennedy was assassinated, Life acquired the Zapruder film, the clearest footage of the assassination.

226

But instead of releasing it in full, they only published black and white stills with certain key frames missing.

227

The moving footage was withheld for over a decade.

228

Jackson himself died not long after, but his past intelligence ties raised serious questions about how the assassination was managed in the media.

229

These examples show how the Psychological Strategy Board's influence could extend beyond psychological warfare into shaping public perception of major historical events.

230

And in Corso's case, how we went from the Army's CIC to a national security position in government to knowledge of the UFO program.

231

The PSB had no shortage of interesting figures, but it just goes to show how connected psychological warfare was to the hidden history of UFOs.

232

This is best shown in a series of declassified CIA documents from 1952.

233

One memo involving CIA Director Walter B.

234

Smith highlights the national security risk posed by flying saucers not just as unknown aerial threats,

235

but as tools that could be exploited by the Soviets to spread hysteria or disrupt air defense systems.

236

The memo states, the flying saucer situation contains two elements of danger, which, in a situation of international tension, have national security implications.

237

These are psychological and air vulnerability.

238

Another document, this time from Smith to the director of the Psychological Strategy Board, notes that over 1 ,500 UFO reports had been logged.

239

20 % remained unexplained, prompting an urgent question.

240

Could these phenomena be controlled, predicted, or even used in military or psychological operations?

241

At this point, Henry Kissinger re -enters the picture.

242

Around this time, he was recruited to produce reports for the army in Korea and Germany.

243

He also became a direct consultant to the head of the Psychological Strategy Board himself, Gordon Gray.

244

Gray was not a minor figure.

245

A former Secretary of the Army, he had oversight of psychological warfare strategies across multiple agencies,

246

and he later chaired the committee that revoked Oppenheimer's security clearance.

247

He also served as national security advisor under Eisenhower.

248

His influence continued for decades, spanning the Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford administrations as a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

249

Gray was as embedded in the security state as one could be.

250

And perhaps unsurprisingly, he had connections to the UFO question.

251

Is what is called the golden age of general relativity tied to these topics?

252

Well, this is the explosion.

253

There's a famous series.

254

The author was Talbert.

255

Ansel Talbert wrote an article for the New York Herald Tribune in November of 1955, while Gray was president of the University of North Carolina.

256

The article's title?

257

Conquest of Gravity, Aim of Top Scientists in the United States.

258

It details the efforts of numerous universities, companies, top physicists, and documents their prospects for studying and controlling gravity,

259

a discovery which is of quote -unquote tremendous import to the field of aircraft design.

260

It also states

261

that a proposal to establish an Institute of Pure Physics at

262

the University of North Carolina to carry on theoretical research on gravity had been sanctioned by the Board of Trustees,

263

which had the final approval of Dr. Gordon Gray.

264

In 1956, this

265

Institute of Field Physics at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill holds what's known as the Chapel Hill Conference,

266

convening all of the world's top theoretical physicists to discuss gravity.

267

This conference is sponsored by Wright Airfield.

268

The head of the Institute of Field Physics, Agnew Bonson, is also funding mid -century inventor Thomas Townsend Brown,

269

who is claiming to get successful positive results on gravity manipulation experiments.

270

Gray was also named as one of the advisors on the top secret research

271

and development organization established by Truman as it appears in the leaked

272

Majestic 12 documentation.

273

His deep ties to the military, psychological warfare, government, and academia, on top of this link to gravity research.

274

This makes a very plausible case that he would have been read into high -level UFO programs.

275

So remember, these are the circles that Kissinger was moving in while he was still a graduate student.

276

He wasn't just another Harvard intellectual.

277

He was corresponding with CIA director

278

Alan Dulles, consulting with Gordon Gray at the Psychological Strategy Board, and networking with the power brokers shaping

279

Cold War intelligence.

280

All of this on top of his CIC work in Germany, managing the transition of Nazi scientists, and possibly their exotic propulsion research.

281

And once Kissinger got his PhD, these ties were developed further, in tandem with his academic development.

282

In 1955, Kissinger started to write critically of Eisenhower's nuclear strategy of massive retaliation.

283

It was the threat of responding to an attack, conventional or nuclear, with an immediate all -out nuclear barrage.

284

Kissinger claimed this was outdated now that the Soviets maintained their own substantial nuclear arsenal.

285

He argued that the United States should be ready to fight limited, localized nuclear wars.

286

His writing was noticed, and he was invited by McGeorge Bundy a colleague and professor at Harvard at this time,

287

to work with the Council on Foreign Relations.

288

The CFR, a private organization tied to elite circles of business, government, and academia, was a crucible for Cold War policy.

289

Much like a think tank, it served as a discussion club of the most powerful and successful leaders and well -connected figures of foreign affairs.

290

Walter Isaacson's biography of Kissinger describes the most exalted enterprises of the CFR to be the so -called study groups,

291

where around a dozen or so distinguished individuals

292

and wise men met regularly over the course of 12 months to explore a particular subject in depth.

293

Each group had a study director, usually an up -and -coming academic,

294

who would collate their discussions into something that may or may not be disseminated to government or the public.

295

For example, McGeorge Bundy was a part of a study group in the late 1940s that examined Marshall Plan aid to Europe.

296

Some of its members should sound familiar.

297

Eisenhower, before his presidency, was involved, along with future CIA director

298

Alan Dulles and future CIA deputy director Richard M.

299

Bissell.

300

Also contributing was George F.

301

Kennan, just after writing his famous long telegram under the pen name X, which shaped Cold War policy of containing Soviet communism.

302

So the who's who of international diplomacy.

303

Flick open your modern history of the United States, and these guys are all over it.

304

And as far as the hidden UFO history goes, aside from the obvious links to someone like Eisenhower and the possible

305

Majestic 12 Advisory Board, you've also got Richard Bissell,

306

who spearheaded developments in American reconnaissance aircraft like the U -2 and its successor, the SR -71.

307

He knew his way around

308

Area 51, and he was famously named by presidential advisor Harold Malmgren as being the person who had briefed Malmgren on other world technologies.

309

He said, there are things you need to know.

310

In 1955, Kissinger was invited to direct a Council on Foreign Relations study group on nuclear war and foreign policy.

311

He was briefed by Robert Oppenheimer himself and instructed to turn the findings into a book.

312

The group was chaired by Gordon Dean, former head of the Atomic Energy Commission, and included top military officials, government insiders, and scientists.

313

The resulting book, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, was a breakthrough.

314

Oppenheimer called it extraordinarily well -informed, and it launched Kissinger into the public eye.

315

By the end of the decade, he was advising the Joint Chiefs of Staff in making regular TV appearances as a nuclear strategy expert.

316

Before the book was even published, Kissinger had been pulled into even more elite circles.

317

He was approached by one of the most powerful names in America, Nelson Rockefeller.

318

At the time, Rockefeller was serving as an advisor to President Eisenhower, tasked with countering

319

Soviet influence in psychological warfare and beyond.

320

After Stalin's death in 1953, U .S.

321

officials worried about a Soviet peace offensive aimed at undermining U .S military power,

322

sowing discord among allies, and backing revolutionary movements in the developing world.

323

Rockefeller's job was to counter this, and he formed his own expert panel to strategize for the president.

324

Kissinger was brought in alongside military leaders, academics, and private sector figures.

325

The group first met at Quantico, Virginia to draft reports for Eisenhower.

326

This was Kissinger's first collaboration with Rockefeller, but far from his last.

327

Two years later, he would serve as the director for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Special Studies Project,

328

a panel on U .S international security objectives and strategy that included Edward Teller.

329

Kissinger and Teller would work closely together on a number of occasions afterwards.

330

Teller was key to the Manhattan Project.

331

He was the inventor of the hydrogen bomb and was named in a document written by Australian nuclear physicist Harry Turner.

332

This report, on behalf of Australian intelligence, aimed to investigate what the US had been studying when it came to UFOs.

333

Nobody in conventional national security circles disputes this report.

334

It's deemed valid as a very real document.

335

And Harry Turner definitely led all nuclear efforts for the Australian Joint Intelligence Organization, which is basically Australia's CIA.

336

Turner stated that Edward Teller was working with others on the objective to control gravity.

337

So we have yet another close associate of Kissinger being implicated in the hidden history of science and perhaps tech behind UFOs.

338

By the late 1950s, Kissinger was a tenured

339

Harvard professor, a trusted advisor to the military and government, and a rising public intellectual.

340

But his official assent leaves room for this hidden history to press against it.

341

Just recall Maria Wings' claim that her husband had worked directly under Kissinger, who was in some capacity involved in the UFO program by this time.

342

This is tangential, but there is at least one document I was able to find

343

that connects Kissinger to the world of crash retrievals.

344

Hey guys, I want to tell you about my new favorite piece of apparel.

345

These are called the Perfect victory jeans.

346

They're literally the perfect jeans.

347

I used to wear jeans all the time and they're kind of rough and not super stretchy or breathable.

348

These are extremely comfortable.

349

They work in casual environments.

350

They work in work settings.

351

They come in six different sizes from 26 inches to 50 inches and they're all around just amazing.

362

A redacted history of Sandia Laboratories in New Mexico notes that

363

Don Cotter, who was later a Nixon administration advisor on atomic energy and assistant to the Secretary of Defense,

364

while Cotter had been promoted in 1961 to oversee advanced research at Kirtland Air Force Base.

365

As part of his work, Cotter organized interdisciplinary seminars featuring noted international experts and specialists.

366

One of them, Henry Kissinger.

367

We also know that in 1962, as part of the Bluegill Triple Prime test in the Pacific, one detonation reportedly downed a UFO.

368

Kraft was then recovered and sent to the Albuquerque Operations Office, which oversaw Los Alamos and Sandia Labs at Kirtland Air Force Base,

369

Who was in charge of that office?

370

Lawrence Preston Geis, better known as Jeff Bezos' maternal grandfather, who also worked for the Atomic Energy Commission.

371

Harold Malmgrim was presidential advisor for JFK at the time, and he was in charge of White House efforts around this Bluegill Triple Prime test.

372

And in the Navy deck logs of the ships associated with the Bluegill Triple Prime test,

373

you can see that anomalous debris came out of the plume of this blast and was recovered.

374

The anomalous debris was then sent to New Mexico to be taken charge of by Lawrence Preston Geis.

375

So given that Harold Malmgren was in charge of the nuclear test for the White House, he decided to scope things out with Lawrence Preston Geis.

376

According to Malmgren, Geis was directly involved in reverse engineering recovered craft in this exact period.

377

So Malmgren went to go meet Geis in New Mexico.

378

And according to Malmgren's tweets, Geis was directly involved in reverse engineering recovered craft in this exact period.

379

So another UFO crash retrieval is tied to Sandia Labs, where Dr. Wang worked and where Kissinger is connected.

380

But the questions still exist.

381

Was Kissinger aware of any active UFO programs?

382

Was he actively managing them?

383

At this point, discussing whether Kissinger was involved in a UFO program inevitably leads us to the leaked documents

384

that have pointed to the existence of the Majestic 12.

385

Now, I know some of you might already have strong opinions about the MJ -12 docs,

386

but I just want to remind viewers that it's not just one thing.

387

It's a collection of over 3 ,000 pages from different eras leaked over decades.

388

Yes, some of these could be forgeries.

389

Some of these could be purposeful misinformation, part of a limited hangout strategy, but that doesn't make the whole thing invalid.

390

If we can sift through the evidence, you can find some really significant details, and other details that are corroborated by open source research.

391

Take, for example, a leaked MJ -12 document from 1995,

392

recently discussed by Ross Colthart on News Nation with former Australian intelligence officer Jeff Cruikshank.

393

It details a top -secret request from President John F.

394

Kennedy to CIA Director Alan Dulles on June 28, 1961.

395

In it, JFK asks for a review of MJ -12 intelligence operations as they relate to Cold War psychological warfare.

396

Skeptics might dismiss this, but here's where it gets interesting.

397

A document was released in the 2022 JFK files revealing Dulles had actually scheduled something very interesting for that day,

398

something completely unknown to the public in 1995.

399

The document showed two meetings between Dulles and JFK on June 28th, 1961.

400

A fact that would have been impossible for a forger to predict decades earlier upon release of the MJ -12 documents.

401

So there's a document in the MJ -12 files, these very disputed MJ -12 files,

402

which has that date of the 28th of June 1961, correct?

403

Yep, that's correct.

404

And that's the date of a meeting between the CIA director, Alan Dulles and President John F Kennedy.

405

Twice.

406

Now, nobody, nobody knew about that meeting until that diary was declassified in 2022.

407

That's correct.

408

This isn't the only MJ -12 document with verifiable details.

409

Others contain obscure, hard -to -fake markings and marginalia that experts have analyzed as authentic.

410

This is similar to the Bob Lazar story, which I have reported on ad nauseum.

411

If it weren't for Bob Lazar, we might still not know that

412

Area 51 exists.

413

But there are a lot of reasons to believe that aspects of the Bob Lazar story were pushed out as passage material.

414

Let's get back to the MJ -12.

415

For the sake of those watching that might be new to this topic, let's quickly sketch out a picture of what the MJ -12 is.

416

Allegedly, the Majestic 12 was a secret committee formed by President Truman in 1947 to handle the extraterrestrial issue.

417

It included top scientists, military leaders, and government officials.

418

Figures like Vannevar Bush, Gordon Gray, Donald Menzel, and even Eisenhower.

419

All names we've already discussed.

420

But regardless of the reliability of any one document, consider the bigger picture.

421

MJ -12 was supposed to have been created at the same

422

time the Truman administration was facing an entirely new existential threat — nuclear weapons.

423

The atomic bomb changed the course of history.

424

It reshaped humanity's relationship with extinction itself.

425

There was a pre -nuclear world and a post -nuclear world.

426

So how did the government respond?

427

By forming classified interdisciplinary groups to study the issue, advise the military and government, and develop strategies for managing the risks of this new era.

428

Okay, that seems pretty logical.

429

Now if anything truly extraordinary happened at, say, Roswell, what would you expect the government to do?

430

Well, you'd probably expect them to establish a classified interdisciplinary team to research the phenomenon,

431

its implications, learn what they could about any strategic advantages, and decide what, if anything, the public should know about the topic.

432

Whether or not it was called MJ -12,

433

the idea that a structured oversight body existed is entirely consistent with how the US government responded to other world -changing events.

434

And other documents on top of Dulles's schedule, like the Eisenhower brief, have been fully verified by open source research.

435

And that brings us back to Kissinger.

436

If such a program existed, and if it evolved over the decades from how it was supposedly set up in the 1940s,

437

how would somebody like Kissinger fit in?

438

Kissinger's early career placed him in positions that directly intersected with the roles described in the MJ -12 documents.

439

His time within the counterintelligence corps during and after

440

World War II positioned him within an intelligence network that was deeply involved in early crash retrievals,

441

and the exploitation of Nazi scientific expertise through programs like Operation Paperclip.

442

Leaked MJ -12 memos from the 1940s referenced CIC involvement in UFO investigations, including Roswell.

443

When Kissinger returned to Harvard at the end of the war,

444

it's plausible that he did so with intelligence ties and some knowledge of secret technology programs.

445

If Kissinger's connection to MJ -12 deepened,

446

it likely happened in the mid -1950s when his role shifted from academia to directly shaping government policy.

447

His invitation to the Council on Foreign Relations Study Group on Nuclear Strategy placed him alongside figures like Robert Oppenheimer

448

and Gordon Dean, key players in both nuclear policy and potentially the UFO issue.

449

For Kissinger to be included in these discussions, he would have needed a high security clearance.

450

Could the UFO question have been part of their classified deliberations.

451

While there's no direct proof, the overlap of names between the CFR study groups and MJ -12 suggest they operated in adjacent circles.

452

Kissinger's role in Nelson Rockefeller's special studies project further cemented his position.

453

Rockefeller, an Eisenhower advisor, led U .S efforts to counter

454

Soviet influence through strategic initiatives.

455

This think tank included many figures from Kissinger's CFR group, creating potential crossovers between official policy and classified programs.

456

We must assume that Rockefeller had some connection to MJ -12 by this point, too.

457

In fact, Detlev Brank, who is the president of the Rockefeller Foundation, was named as one of the Majestic 12.

458

And this whole suggestion is not that the MJ -12 was a static organization.

459

It may have evolved in this period from a small Truman -era committee to a more structured program under Eisenhower.

460

And elite think tanks like these may have served as its intellectual and strategic backbone.

461

This also raises the question, was this the moment private industry was let in on the secret?

462

By the late 1950s, the U .S government was increasingly outsourcing classified research to private aerospace and defense contractors.

463

If MJ -12, or its successor, wanted to study and reverse -engineer UFO materials while avoiding congressional oversight,

464

compartmentalizing the work within private corporations would have been the ideal method.

465

This shift would implicate Kissinger throughout his close ties to Rockefeller, both in think tanks and on his presidential campaigns.

466

Many of the Special Studies Project's key recommendations were integrated into Eisenhower's policies, appearing in his 1958

467

State of the Union address.

468

Yet much of its classified output remains locked in Rockefeller's Archive Center.

469

Depending on where you look, you'll find different claims about Kissinger's involvement.

470

Some argue that he was bought by the Rockefellers early on, particularly through a grant he received while earning his PhD, and

471

that his Harvard career was merely a cover for deeper intelligence

472

work advising MJ -12 through a specialized think tank known as PI -40.

473

Others suggest that MJ -12 and PI -40 were interchangeable names for the same group,

474

which evolved over decades but remain embedded in the U .S national security structure.

475

Even if we stay skeptical about the MJ -12 documents themselves, the broader logic of their existence make sense within

476

Cold War power structures.

477

If a secret UFO study group existed, whether called MJ -12 or something else,

478

Kissinger's career trajectory places him squarely within the network of individuals likely to have been involved.

479

Before making any definitive claims about Kissinger's role in MJ -12 or the UFO program, one thing is certain.

480

Before he ever entered a presidential administration, he operated within a deeply secretive strata of power.

481

His rise to one of the highest positions in the country may not be unconnected to the relationships

482

he had built since his time as a CIC agent.

483

In the 1960 election, John F.

484

Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard Nixon.

485

While Kissinger is now mainly associated with Nixon's legacy, it is often overlooked that he also worked under Kennedy.

486

Kennedy's administration was filled with elite thinkers from different political and industry backgrounds, including several who had worked on Rockefeller's special studies project like Kissinger.

487

Despite working on Rockefeller's presidential run, writing speeches, and giving advice,

488

he had been approached by the Kennedy team in 1958 to discuss long -range problems and weapons evaluation.

489

Officially, he was consulting the White House on nuclear weapons in Germany, but he remained close to Rockefeller, seeing him as a future presidential contender.

490

The rest of his time was spent teaching at Harvard.

491

It was in this period that he cemented his staunch anti -communist stance.

492

As Neil Ferguson recounts, Kissinger saw nuclear weapons not as a curse, but as a potential safeguard for civilization.

493

His view was that tactical nuclear weapons could and should be used to deter communism.

494

This willingness to prioritize strategic concerns over morality characterized his entire approach to global problems.

495

If he applied the same logic to UFOs, he may have viewed them as another stabilizing element that required secrecy and control.

496

It was also during this period in Kennedy's presidency that the Cold War had reached a boiling point.

497

The Bay of Pigs disaster in 1961 led to the ousting of CIA Director Alan Dulles and Deputy Director Richard Bissell.

498

Bissell notably didn't fade into obscurity.

499

This raises a question.

500

How many others, sidelined from their official positions, continued to operate within the hidden world of UFO programs?

501

In Bissell's case, the rumor was he left work at the CIA on Friday,

502

and on Monday he returned because he was too indispensable to certain activities he was involved in.

503

It was just two months after the Bay of Pigs,

504

in June of 1961, that Kennedy requested a full briefing on MJ -12 activities from the head of the CIA,

505

specifically with respect to their role in Cold War psychological warfare.

506

This was before Dulles was dismissed, which occurred in November.

507

Did JFK's decision to clean house at the CIA overlap with an inquisition into the activities of the MJ -12?

508

What did Kennedy find out and what impact would this have had on his life?

509

The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society

510

and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies,

511

to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

512

We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive

513

and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

514

Perhaps that will be a topic we can touch on another time.

515

But it wasn't long before another crisis emerged, the Berlin standoff.

516

Kissinger found himself sidelined during this crisis, and despite nuclear being one of his areas of expertise, he was scarcely consulted.

517

It wasn't long after that that Kissinger left the White House.

518

At the end of the 1960s, with Kennedy gone, the Johnson administration having run its course, Rockefeller had again run for president.

519

But once again, the campaign didn't take, and Kissinger was unexpected available when Nixon came calling.

520

Despite once calling Nixon the most dangerous candidate, Kissinger accepted the role of National Security Advisor, marking the start of his most infamous chapter.

521

Why was Kissinger Nixon's choice?

522

Officially, his deep expertise in nuclear strategy and foreign policy made him invaluable.

523

It is often suggested that it was through his associations with MJ -12

524

or an MJ -12 -like group that Kissinger was considered the perfect person to accompany Nixon into the White House.

525

Was Kissinger brought into the administration because he was the ideal person to oversee another arms race, when hidden from public view?

526

Just as the Cold War saw a nuclear arms race alongside proxy wars,

527

it is plausible that there was also a secret technological arms race focused on reverse engineering UFO technology.

528

If Kissinger's approach to nuclear weapons is any indication,

529

he would have treated the UFO issue extremely pragmatically seeing it as a destabilizing factor that had to be carefully managed.

530

His belief in secrecy, careful analysis, and psychological warfare would have made him the perfect candidate to control access to such information.

531

It is unlikely that Kissinger saw UFOs as a fantastical anomaly.

532

For a man so entrenched in real politic, they would have been just another variable, albeit an extraordinary one in the geopolitical equation,

533

particularly if he had been aware of their early existence since his early 20s.

534

So what influences might this have had on him since he reached the peak of US power in 1969?

535

The Nixon White House was home to scandals, secrets, and occasional absurdity.

536

One of the strangest stories tied to Nixon, and one that raises questions about what Kissinger might have been aware of, involves the actor Jackie Gleason,

537

who is famously obsessed with UFOs.

538

He even built his house to resemble a flying saucer.

539

According to Gleason's ex -wife, one night in the 1970s,

540

Nixon, possibly drunk, showed up at the actor's house unannounced and took him to see alien bodies at a secret facility.

541

Gleason, reportedly shaken, shared the story upon returning home, only for it to resurface in the tabloids years later.

542

Its veracity is debatable.

543

Was Nixon bragging to impress his golf buddy?

544

Letting off steam?

545

Was it all fake?

546

No one knows.

547

But if Nixon was at all interested in UFOs, his closest advisor, who frequently endured his late -night drunken tirades, was surely hearing about it.

548

Kissinger's time in the White House as National Security Advisor from 1969 to 1975

549

and Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977 gave him immense power over U .S foreign policy.

550

He shaped Cold War diplomacy, managed Vietnam, and opened relations with China.

551

But what about the hidden UFO history?

552

In these years, we have the official record, and then we have what was never meant to be recorded.

553

The Watergate scandal, secret bombings in Southeast Asia, covert operations in Latin America, and whatever was being discussed inside the 303

554

Committee, the secretive body overseeing CIA missions.

555

But the question will remain if someone like Kissinger was involved in the MJ -12, did this overlap with his duties in the White House,

556

in international relations, or with this 303 committee.

557

The 303 committee was a secret U .S.

558

interagency group that oversaw all covert operations, and Kissinger was involved with it.

559

So how much crossover was there between the official and hidden history when it came to the 303 committee?

560

Or the 5412 unit which had preceded it?

561

Or the 40 group which came after it?

562

The names given to the small high -level teams that oversaw all covert operations for the U .S government.

563

Were they as deeply involved in UFOs as some researchers suggest?

564

Officially, these group's members typically included the National Security Advisor, senior officials from the CIA, and representatives from the state and defense departments.

565

Their job was to approve covert actions while shielding the president from direct involvement.

566

Nominally, this separation was ensured to maintain plausible deniability on the part of the president.

567

But this nominal separation at times allowed this group to wield power over the president

568

and to do things without the president's permission.

569

It's easy to think that UFO secrecy would be bound up in these continuity of government programs,

570

which is perhaps why these official names are sometimes said to be interchangeable with MJ -12 in the UFO space.

571

Alternatively, could programs like MJ -12 have evolved into operations more akin to the CIA's notorious

572

Chaos, or MKUltra, discrete groups acting with autonomy shielded from higher levels of government oversight.

573

If these secrets ever make it to the archives, we might get a definitive answer.

574

Until then, solid links between Kissinger and UFO programs are rare.

575

But there are a few other breadcrumbs that stand out.

576

Firstly, we have circumstantial evidence of Harold Malmgren brought into the Nixon administration in 1971.

577

Analyst Matthew Pines has suggested that Malmgrim was, at times, just as influential as Kissinger, almost acting as a check on Kissinger's own power.

578

Harold was, you know, self -consciously not a self -promoter.

579

He was not someone who was looking for the power.

580

He was recognized and his survivability was because he was going to be the guy working behind the scenes, executing, not taking credit,

581

just the guy who would get stuff done right

582

and that's what's you know whereas kissinger was the guy who would like you know walk over people's necks right

583

and but they were in equal positions right they were trusted

584

and they were often used by presidents

585

you know to check each other like malmgren was used explicitly

586

by nixon to check kissinger in many negotiations to like confirm

587

that kissinger wasn't going rogue on various things and go

588

and the whole china thing the back channels with the soviets malmgren was Nixon's like, you know, confirmation, you know, route, right?

589

Because he didn't fully trust Kissinger to do all this stuff because Kissinger was kind of a rogue guy, right?

590

He thought he was the president, right?

591

So Malmgren was there to kind of like act as a bit of a check.

592

It would certainly make sense then that if Malmgren had been read into otherworldly technology by Richard Bissell around this time,

593

that if he had seen evidence of the craft down during the Bluegill triple prime explosion that was taken to Los Alamos,

594

then Kissinger, with his deep connections to nuclear strategy and intelligence likely had a similar level of awareness.

595

Then there is the most intriguing clue of all.

596

In January of 1977, just before leaving office, Kissinger sent a telegram to the U .S.

597

Embassy in Ottawa requesting a report on quote unquote possible returned space objects.

598

The subject line, Moondust.

599

Operation Moondust was a Cold War era program established by the US Air Force to recover and analyze foreign space debris,

600

including Soviet satellites and other advanced technology.

601

However, declassified documents reveal that moondust remit extended beyond conventional technology to include unidentified objects.

602

This leads some to speculate that it may have dealt with extraterrestrial materials.

603

Other declassified documents which describe similar circumstances or directly reference moon dust add to this mystery.

604

One document describes the recovery of spherical objects in New Zealand farmland.

605

Another details a fireball and subsequent sightings of silent aircraft near a Bolivian crash site.

606

Incredibly, I found one that was sent to Wright -Patterson Air Force Base,

607

which discusses a 1957 UFO event in Afghanistan that rivals what reportedly occurred at Roswell.

608

These documents suggest a striking similarity between moon dust's operations

609

and the procedures outlined in MJ -12 documents and what we now know about legacy UFO programs.

610

Does Kissinger's telegram prove he was involved?

611

Not exactly, but it confirms he was aware of Moondust.

612

And given everything else that he had done until this point, well perhaps this breadcrumb, however meager, is a significant one.

613

Kissinger's role under Nixon is often cited as emblematic of centralized secret governance.

614

Journalist William Shawcross described how Kissinger controlled the National Security Council's processes, funneling decisions through layers of analysis he personally managed.

615

This allowed him to decide what Nixon would review while bypassing bureaucratic dissent.

616

In 1968, before even entering the White House, Kissinger wrote, "...the only way secrecy can be kept is to exclude from

617

the making of the decisions all those who are theoretically charged with carrying it out.

618

This philosophy, deliberately keeping key decisions out of reach, even from senior military and government figures,

619

mirrors the kind of compartmentalization that seems to have governed UFO secrecy.

620

This seems like a direct result of his work for the CIC, and for the Psychological Strategy Board, and who knows, perhaps for the MJ -12.

621

As Marvin and Bernard Kalb suggested in their biography of Kissinger, apparently he had no trouble justifying these kinds of deceptive practices.

622

Kissinger's approach to governance was simple.

623

Achieve the objective, whatever it takes.

624

Secrecy, deception, even actions that, in hindsight, many consider criminal.

625

The same logic could have been applied to managing disruptive technology of non -human origin.

626

If UFOs posed a Cold War threat or advantage, they could have been compartmentalized,

627

controlled, and kept out of public reach and Kissinger would have been in a prime position to oversee such efforts.

628

And his legacy is still visible today.

629

For all the cynicism and warranted criticism surrounded Kissinger's tenure, his real politic approach to diplomacy achieved notable successes,

630

such as opening relations with China and advancing arms control through the SALT 1 talks.

631

It would be incredibly interesting from a historical perspective to find out

632

if there was some kind of UFO -related impetus or rationale behind some of these moves,

633

and in particular if Kissinger was using his knowledge or position within that hidden network to parlay or barter these relations.

634

Due to Kissinger's possible awareness of the UFO issue, he probably would have used this secret knowledge to his advantage when he felt it necessary.

635

And despite the decades of tension and mistrust that came after, Kissinger remains a popular figure in both Beijing and Moscow.

636

He was a longtime confidant of Vladimir Putin.

637

There is a telling exchange between the two from the 90s

638

when in conversation with the future Russian president about their respective backgrounds, Putin told Kissinger he got his start in intelligence,

639

to which Kissinger replied, all decent people get their start in intelligence.

640

I did too.

641

In China as well, Kissinger has remained relevant since the 70s.

642

President Xi Jinping described him as an old friend, stating that Sino -US relations will always be linked with the name of Henry Kissinger.

643

Both Putin and Xi expressed sincere condolences when Kissinger died at age 100 in November of 2023.

644

Figures like Richard Bissell, who moved from the CIA into private defense,

645

suggest that real secrecy does not end when someone's ties to an administration does.

646

So, did Kissinger continue operating in classified spheres even after leaving government, his access to power remained unbroken for decades,

647

and he was continually sought out for foreign policy counsel on China, post -9 -11, Iraq, and even AI.

648

Was he playing a longer game, leveraging hidden knowledge in ways we still don't understand?

649

Modern UFO whistleblower David Grush has suggested that someone like former

650

Vice President Dick Cheney was a gatekeeper of the UFO program.

651

If such a role exists, it must have been occupied before Cheney, possibly by another Machiavellian operative, by Kissinger himself.

652

Some figures exist in the public eye but operate a second life in the shadows, redacted, classified, denied.

653

It takes a certain kind of person to thrive in that space, someone ruthless, someone pragmatic, someone who can manage nuclear strategy,

654

covert wars and morally indefensible decisions, maybe even UFO programs.

655

So whether Kissinger was exactly what

656

Maria Wing described to Bill Steinman on the phone, I think it's very possible.

657

And it makes you think, does that position still exist?

658

Who is the gatekeeper now?

659

And will we ever know?

660

Until next episode, my name's Jesse Michaels, and this is American Alchemy.

「sh」と「zh」の音: conventional /kənˈvɛnʃənl̩/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/, crucial /ˈkɹuː.ʃəl/

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
