Hi Jas,
The documents and the article and the statements by Wood are newish and new to me.
I did come across, a few years ago, information that JFK had been insisting on knowing about secret research into UFOs not long before his assassination. While the reading then was persuasive, I felt, "How many conspiracies can you roll up into one?" The JFK assassination AND the UFO cover-up? How many people are going to believe that?" At the time it seemed too far-fetched to believe. The article even brought in the death of Marilyn Monroe! - that she was killed because JFK her lover had told her about it too. So I decided then it was all a bit much.
However the stuff you've turned up is quite simply, factual, so it's interesting all over again. Here we have Kennedy insisting on knowing about UFOs just ten days before Dealey Plaza. The MJ-12 group were very senior people: a kind of government beyond the government. As the article says, they knew what even presidents (who come and go) didn't.
Bits I find interesting:
"As you must know, Lancer [Secret Service name for JFK] has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow. Please submit your views no later than October. Your action to this matter is critical to the continuance of the group."
"I think the most important set of documents are the ones that show that we started this program in 1942, after recovering the first craft in 1941 -- at the beginning of the war, just a few days after Pearl Harbor.
"The second most important set of documents, I think, is the one that links this to the JFK assassination, and that's the burned memo.
"And the third most important documents were the ones that deal with what we were doing about it in the '50s, how we were going to absorb the technology and reverse-engineer it, and how it would affect our entire structure of technology.
Part of the "burned" memo, stamped Top Secret/MJ-12, rescued from a fire before it was destroyed. The memo is written by the director of Central Intelligence (circa early 1960s) and refers to Lancer (Secret Service code word for JFK), and states that he has made inquiries about their activities "which we cannot allow." (This is a 2-pager)
"That's my assessment of its relative importance. The most important idea that people have not grasped at all is that this program started in early 1942. The second most important idea is that the program is not under the control of the president
"I think Kennedy was very interested in UFOs on several fronts," Lester suggested after finishing his book on Kennedy's life.
"There seemed to be kind of an idealistic scientific angle to it, but there was also this hardcore tactical angle that he was trying to successfully play, in what were very volatile times.
"It's almost impossible for me to believe that there's no connection. Now I couldn't go into a courtroom and prove that there was a direct correlation, but I find it hard to believe that there's no connection there."
If there is a UFO-assassination link (the MJ-12 documents do suggest so) then it's "wacky" enough to the average person to be its own cover-up. So few people will believe it.
Oliver Stone only got away with his marvellous film, JFK, because it is largely factual; but critics still tried to pick holes in his story. Imagine if he'd brought out a movie with a UFO conspiracy tied in. It's fascinating stuff, but unfortunately really is beyond what most people would ever be prepared to believe.... As I say, that would make it the ultimatate conspiracy: something so way-out that no amount of evidence will convince almost anybody, and the mass media would never go near it.

Yes, and it's worth pointing out
"I think the most important set of documents are the ones that show that we started this program in 1942, after recovering the first craft in 1941 -- at the beginning of the war, just a few days after Pearl Harbor."
This again points to the fact UFO activity is high when major events are happening on our planet. It's like they are watching, perhaps making sure we don't annihilate the whole planet!

Yes, but they don't make a particularly good job of it, by coming here and crashing, huh? :eek::rolleyes:
(And the neutral reader can be assured that no UFO would ever crash without a cover-up, and the parts being taken away in secret for reverse-engineering.)

Assume everyone has seen this:
Hi Chris, no hadn't seen it until you posted the link - nice one! Looks really good, but I think we need further info before determining if it is real. Where is it now? Who has it? Is it being tested? Questions questions.
I did some Googling and found a few sites have suggested the culprits have admitted it is a fake but maybe that is just part of the cover-up?
