There's a new article from me which starts like this (and here's the link):
Within the field of Ufology there are longstanding rumors that the
May 22, 1949 death of James Forrestal – the first U.S. Secretary of
Defense – was linked to the UFO phenomenon.
So the story goes, while suffering from severe depression and anxiety,
and ultimately spiraling into a complete nervous breakdown (as a result
of his exposure to what the U.S. Government knew about UFOs), Forrestal
was on the verge of revealing his knowledge of an alien presence on
Earth. The theory continues that powerful figures decided such a thing
simply could not be allowed to occur. The result was that Forrestal had
to go. And “go,” he certainly did: out of a window. In the early hours
of May 22, Forrestal plunged to his death from the 16th floor of the
Bethesda Naval Hospital. The big question is: was he pushed or did he
jump?
Of course, there’s no hard proof in the public domain that Forrestal
was briefed on the more sensational and top secret aspects of the UFO
phenomenon. Although, logic dictates that he would have been briefed (at least to some
degree), since he accepted the position of Secretary of Defense in 1947
– the year in which the flying saucer was “born” and when the military
was indeed taking the mysterious matter very seriously. Even outside of
Ufology, there are suspicions that Forrestal’s death was no suicide. But, that’s not the focus of this article. Rather, the focus is on something that happened before Forrestal died and prior to his admittance to Bethesda on April 2, 1949.
