What it really says is that JFK allegedly traveled to “a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space.”
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Keep Project Moon Dust in mind as you read the following. You’ll recall that earlier, I stated the following: “Despite what many researchers have said, not even a single reference in the document is to dead aliens, extraterrestrials, flying saucers, or UFOs. Not a single one.” That’s absolutely true. What it really says is that JFK allegedly traveled to “a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space.” No references to aliens or to extraterrestrial ships. The document also refers to “crashed spacecraft and dead bodies,” but, again, no specific references to mangled E.T.s or wrecked saucers.
Now some might say that references to “dead bodies,” to “things from outer space,” and to “crashed spacecraft” are references to the Roswell event and to deceased aliens. On the other hand, however, the very fact that the document references Project Moon Dust suggests another possibility, namely, that the subject matter may have been a failed—and still unknown—early Soviet- manned mission into space, one that predated Yuri Gagarin’s flight into outer space on April 12, 1961. Another bit of data supports this scenario. Recall that the document states: “Kilgallen said that if the story is true, it could cause terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon.” For ufologists, this is—or should be—a problem.
Why on earth would widespread knowledge of the existence of aliens “cause terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon?” The answer is: it wouldn’t. If such information on aliens reached the public, it certainly would have caused widespread fear, wonder, and amazement among the public—and within government, too—but specifically provoking embarrassment for NASA in relation to plans to put a man on the moon? That doesn’t make any sense. If, however, those “dead bodies” were Soviet cosmonauts, if the “crashed spacecraft” was a Russian rocket, and if the Soviets did have a number of unsuccessful manned missions that predated Gagarin—and that such information threatened to surface during the time Kennedy was in office—then yes, that would have caused significant embarrassment for the JFK administration and, possibly, for NASA, too.
Where does all of this leave us? Admittedly, since the Marilyn document first surfaced in 1995, my views and opinions have gone back and forth. I think it’s probably a hoax. Probably. Mainly because it gives ufology just about all the things it wants and yearns for: the references to “dead bodies” and “crashed spacecraft” inevitably provoke Roswell-like imagery. The mention of a “secret air base” effortlessly points us in the direction of Area 51, thus adding another layer of sensational conspiracy to the story. The JFK–UFO angle reinforces the belief in some quarters that Kennedy was whacked because of what he knew about Roswell. The same with Marilyn, too. It’s The X-Files meets Dark Skies meets Oliver Stone’s JFK.
I have to admit, though, that I do find it intriguing that whoever really wrote the document was extremely vague in terms of what they were talking about. I have seen more than a few questionable UFO documents in my time, and the one thing that nearly all of them share is an explicit, collective reference to E.T.s, to aliens, to flying saucers, and to extraterrestrial craft. In other words, the subject matter is undoubtedly about creatures from other worlds.
For me, though, the Monroe document remains interesting because of the undeniable haziness of what it says or of what it doesn’t say. It doesn’t tell the reader that aliens crashed anywhere—despite the assumptions of ufology—so maybe, with that in mind, the document has some significance, after all. That’s not a case of me fence-sitting. As I said, I think it’s a hoax, but if it is, then a great deal of thought went into it as did a great deal of restraint—in terms of the unclear subject matter. Maybe, another answer is at play here: that we’re seeing a document crafted by disinformation experts to confuse ufology for reasons presently unknown.
In light of all the above, it’s not surprising the document is still “alive and kicking” close to a quarter of a century after it surfaced. Now let’s talk about Marilyn Monroe’s controversial death, which occurred only two days after the alleged CIA document was created.
Despite extensive investigations, the passing of Marilyn Monroe remains the enigma it was back in 1962. The story begins on August 4th, one day before the actress’s death. The afternoon was taken up by a visit to Monroe’s Brentwood, Los Angeles home by her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. He was attempting to get Monroe out of her depressive state of mind. A few hours later, at around 7:00 P.M., Monroe chatted on the phone with Joe DiMaggio Jr. (the son of her former husband and baseball legend Joe DiMaggio) and was, said DiMaggio Jr., in a good frame of mind. Not long after that, the actor Peter Lawford invited Marilyn over to his house for dinner. She chose not to go.
Lawford was reportedly concerned by Monroe’s stoned, slurry tones and decided to call her again later. This is where things become confusing—and potentially conspiratorial.
The story goes that Lawford tried to reach Monroe again several times that night—all to no avail. He was, however, able to speak with her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, who assured Lawford that all was well. He was not so sure.
Murray would later state that at roughly 10:00 P.M., she saw a light coming from Monroe’s bedroom but heard nothing and assumed that the actress had fallen asleep and left the light on.
Around half an hour later, rumors were circulating that Marilyn had overdosed, something confirmed by Monroe’s lawyer, Mickey Rudin, and her publicist, Arthur P. Jacobs. The nail in the coffin came at approximately 1:00 A.M., when Peter Lawford got a call from Rudin, stating that the star was dead. That is somewhat curious, however, as at 3:00 A.M.—two hours later—Eunice Murray reportedly tried to wake Monroe by knocking on the bedroom door and the French windows.
Dr. Greenson was soon on the scene again, having been phoned by Murray; he quickly smashed the windows to gain entry. Sure enough, the world’s most famous blonde was no more. The police soon arrived to a scene filled with confusion and suspicious activity. Murray was hastily washing the bedsheets when the investigating officers descended on Marilyn’s home. Both Greenson and Murray made changes to their stories, specifically in regard to who called who and when and in relation to the particular time at which they believed she died—around 4:00 A.M.
This was completely at odds with the conclusion of the undertaker, Guy Hockett, who put the time of death at around 9:30 P.M., a significant number of hours earlier. On top of that, the pathologist, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, was suspicious of the fact that even if Monroe had taken an overdose —of what was deemed to be Nembutal—she had not swallowed it, via a glass of water, for example. A study of her intestines demonstrated that. How the drugs got into the system of the actress remained a puzzle. Actually, everything remained a puzzle—and it pretty much still does.
Marilyn Monroe was laid to rest on August 8, 1962, at the Los Angeles, California-based Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery. We are far from being done with 1962 with much more to come, all of it linked to Area 51 and filled with conspiracy.
