Did a Nuke Missile Take Down an Alien Craft? – A Journalistic Investigation

Douglas Dean Johnson's article, "Bluegill Triple Prime: Did a nuclear test knock down a nonhuman craft in 1962?", critically examines claims that the U.S. high-altitude nuclear test known as Bluegill Triple Prime inadvertently downed a UFO. This test,

conducted on October 26, 1962, over the Pacific Ocean, was part of Operation Fishbowl and occurred amidst the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The narrative suggesting a UFO was brought down by the test gained traction in early 2025, notably through assertions by former Ambassador Harald Malmgren. Malmgren claimed to have investigated the incident on President Kennedy's behalf and to have handled recovered UFO materials at Los Alamos. However, Johnson's investigation reveals that Malmgren was a mid-level analyst at the Institute for Defense Analyses during that period, with no direct involvement in such high-level operations. Furthermore, there is no credible evidence supporting Malmgren's claims of a UFO recovery linked to the Bluegill Triple Prime test.

Johnson concludes that the association between the Bluegill Triple Prime test and a UFO incident is unfounded, arising from confirmation bias and speculative interpretations rather than verifiable evidence. He emphasizes the importance of rigorous scrutiny in evaluating such extraordinary claims, especially when they intersect with historical events of significant geopolitical tension.

Harald Malmgren's UFO and Alien Proclamations – A Journalistic Investigation

The investigative article "Harald Malmgren: Real-World History vs. Grandiose Fantasy," by researcher, Douglas Dean Johnson meticulously deconstructs the inflated personal narrative of Harald B. Malmgren, a former U.S. trade advisor, by contrasting his public

By The UFO Chronicles 5-20-25

claims with archival evidence and declassified government documents.

While Malmgren had legitimate roles under Presidents Nixon and Ford, primarily related to trade negotiations, Johnson’s research reveals that many of his grander claims — including key advisory roles to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson — are unsubstantiated.

A particularly sensational aspect of Malmgren’s legacy is his claimed association with the UFOs/UAP, aliens and or UFO crash debris. In his later years, Malmgren claimed high-level insider knowledge of classified UFO programs and extraterrestrial-related national security concerns, painting him as someone deeply embedded in secret government deliberations about non-human intelligence and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

However, Johnson finds no credible evidence to support these assertions. Malmgren’s official records, including declassified FBI files and government employment documents, show no involvement in national security or intelligence matters outside of his economic advisory capacity. Notably, Malmgren’s own job applications from the 1960s make no mention of such roles, describing instead modest academic and advisory functions. Furthermore, thorough searches of presidential archives and correspondence — including efforts by historians affiliated with the JFK Library and the Sargent Shriver Peace Institute — yielded no mention of Malmgren in the contexts he later claimed.

Johnson concludes that Malmgren, while not entirely a fabricator, skillfully blurred the lines between fact and fiction, leveraging real but limited public service into a legacy laced with dramatic and unverifiable embellishments. His late-in-life elevation to quasi-mystical insider status in UFO and conspiracy circles illustrates how unchecked personal narratives can metastasize into accepted lore — a cautionary tale in the age of viral misinformation and selective memory.

The nominal deadline for release of the last remaining records concerning the assassination of President Kennedy under the terms of the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 is October 26, 2017.

Agencies have an opportunity to request postponement of release, beyond the deadline, of a few thousand records that are still being withheld, subject to Presidential approval. Officials would not say if any such requests have been forwarded to the White House, but so far none are known to have been approved by President Trump.

In a resolution introduced in the Senate last week, Senators Charles Grassley and Patrick Leahy called for full release of all remaining assassination records.

The man, who ... is seen speaking to camera about a conversation with the president. He described the pair discussing a newspaper article that mentioned UFOs.

The man, who is not named in the clip ... says the president asked him what he thought, so he threw the question back at JFK.

He said: "JFK responded, 'well I asked you first'."

The man then said he did not think humans could be alone in the universe.

He claimed JFK replied: "You're right young man, there is considerable knowledge as far as the being of UFOs and the ET phenomenon that we are aware of today."

Unacknowledged claims to expose years of coverups within the US government over the alleged truth of alien visitations of Earth being kept hidden from the public.

     Was John F. Kennedy assassinated because he was on the verge of telling the public the truth about UFOs? Dallas-area author and strangeness researcher Nick Redfern says, true or not, the belief is fairly widespread in the UFO investigation community. (He would know, Redfern has written 28 books on a wide variety of unsolved mysteries, including Monster Files, The Real Men in Black and Celebrity Secrets.) I asked Redfern to summarize the curious theory for us as JFK 50 approaches.

Per Redfern:

“One of the major areas of controversy surrounding the JFK assassination of November 22, 1963 is that which suggests a link between the tragic event and the subject of (wait for it…) UFOs. Was JFK whacked to prevent him from revealing the truth about flying saucers? Guy Banister (portrayed in Oliver Stone’s JFK movie by Ed Asner) was someone that New Orleans district-attorney, Jim Garrison, suspected was involved in a plot to kill Kennedy. As an FBI agent in 1947, Banister investigated numerous UFO sightings for J. Edgar Hoover and received a classified briefing on the subject in July 1947.

“Fred Crisman was a man who also came under the scrutiny of Garrison, and someone who was identified as one of three “hoboes” detained after JFK’s death. Crisman had an intelligence-based background and claimed to have handled UFO debris in the 1940s. . . .

ABOVE TOP SECRETThe Real Jim Marrs Live and Uncensored August 8, 2009

By Stellar Productions
8-6-09

     Stellar Productions will present ABOVE TOP SECRET: The Real Jim Marrs - Live and Unsensored on August 8, 2009 at 1:00 - 4:00 pm at the Sedona Creative Life Center , 333 Schnebly Hill Road.

Jim Marrs is one of the US's foremost investigative journalists. Probably best known for his ground-breaking research into the Kennedy assassination, his best-selling book "Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy" formed the basis of director Oliver Stone's film JFK. More recently, Marrs has turned his attention to the UFO phenomenon, leading, in 1997, to the publication of his book "Alien Agenda", a thorough journalistic investigation into the subject, which has been hailed as one of the most balanced and well-documented books of its kind. His latest book, "Rule By Secrecy", explores the possibility that global politics is controlled by shadowy elites operating from within secret societies, and whose origins, dating back to the first civilizations, may be influenced by extraterrestrials.

Even the most highly intelligent person in the world cannot come to a truthful and correct opinion on any issue if operating on erroneous or incomplete information. One must know all one can about a wide variety of topics. New York Times bestselling author and journalist Jim Marrs, brings together some answers to questions that have preyed on many people’s mind. Such as: Was 9/11 an inside job? Is the supply of oil peaking? Why did the air force change its story on Stephenville? Is free/alternative energy being kept from the public? Is the Federal Reserve a scam? Are chemtrails for real? Who killed JFK? What flew over Phoenix? Were the moon landings faked? Who parked the moon? What crashed at Roswell? Is God an alien? What will happen in 2012?

Marrs tackles controversial issues by asking the fundamental questions that were once taught to beginning journalism students --- Who, What, When, Where and Why. Armed with these basics and hopefully a dash of deductive reasoning, attendees will be prepared to take on the world of mystery and conspiracy.

“I don’t believe that!” is no longer a valid argument and if something can be proven, it is no loner a theory.
