The first major ufo incident in the US happened days b4 the Kenneth Arnold sighting

The guy who took the evidence Fred Crisman, a former OSS guy, would later be subpoenaed by Jim Garrison as a suspect in the JFK assassination

Weird, right?

1)
Crossman just happened to be buddies with Arnold Palmer...editor or Amazing Stories(a sci-fi pulp)who would later pay Kenneth Arnold for his stories...

This all happened about a month b4 the "Roswell crash"

2)
3)At least one Project Paperclip scientist, Wernher Von Braun is said to have been at Wright to AFB(where "wreckage" was reportedly transferred) at the time.

Another, Walter Dornberger is rumored to have visited as well. What was actually going on?
4)The two officers who debriefed Arnold die in a plane crash on their way back
5)Another name that comes up a ton in that year's UFO research...FBI special agent Guy Banister.
6)Gonna keep doing this thread, slowly...initial source is not trustworthy so I will put up only as I can confirm....
7)Banister associates include

James McCord(Watergate "plumber")

Robert Maheu FBI, Later CIA, Said to be liaison between CIA/Organized crime in attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro
8)Banister, "post" FBI would associate with David Ferrie(alleged Oswald associate, aligned with anti Castro forces and likely drug trafficker)

Banister ran an anti Castro operation from the same building Oswald is alleged to have stamped on his "pro Castro literature"
9)This makes TWO(minimum)federal agents involved in the still extremely early "ufo phenomena" who would later be suspected as involved in the assassination of a US President...

(Take note, this thread is no defense of that pos Kennedy either)
