JFK and the Majestic Papers

[Seamus Coogan]

Davidson himself concluded that every aspect of the mystery led back to the CIA. He argued that they had deliberately concocted the major UFO reports and fed them into the public arena as a cover for experimental aircraft and rocket tests at best and psychological warfare experiments practiced on its own citizens at worst. This was, at the time, a radical overhaul of the status quo, which argued that UFOs seemed to be extra-terrestrial and that the US government had suppressed evidence of their existence. Davidson went against this and wrote that the CIA "was solely responsible for creating the Flying Saucer furore as a tool for cold war psychological research." But in this battle, however Davidson may be right, he lost and the CIA won: today, the extraterrestrial interpretation of UFOs is the most commonly proposed and accepted explanation, with a benign alien presence if not on than at least "near" Earth here to help us. And Davidson, though known, is ill-understood by most UFO researchers and either accidentally or knowingly misrepresented by even more writers on the subject. What Davidson predicted, has come true.

LEON DAVIDSON is an anagram of ALIEN V. DOD SON suggesting that rather than being the product of extraterrestrial civilizations the UFO phenomena are actually the offspring of the Department of Defense, specifically Area 51.

Yeah that's interesting and is a really good summary. The thing with Davidson which I tried to explain was that he wasn't a very good writer he often struggled creating a narrative with his premises. This invariably left him coming across as more kooky than he intended and some what over serious. In this field people like Martin Cannon came unstuck by taking an authorative tone with regard to stuff like CIA-MKULTRA drug induced alien abductions. It really hasn't been until guys like Coppens, Bishop, Ramsay and Pilkington came along that they explored the sorts of premise's that Davidson had discussed with an ear of aloofness, which is what you really need to have. Because when you dabble into the world of Davidson and this murky area as you, CD and others have written there's really no one write answer.

The only one answer I'm glad people have picked up from the piece Phil is that powers that the MJ-12 papers are a fraud. The other is that the powers that be created the argument and involved themselves on either side of it from the get go. One thing I hope someone could explore in more depth is the role of Kenneth Arnold. I get a very strange itch that he wasn't quite the every day businessman who just happened to see UFO's that day that people have claimed. As stated in the Preamble he had a lot of contacts and why the belongings of the dead USAF pilot were sent to him is very odd.
