Former Presidential Advisor: “I Directly Handled UFO Material”
Most shockingly, Malmgren claimed that in 1962, during a nuclear test in the Marshall Islands, the U.S. used a secret directed-energy weapon to bring down a non-human craft. He said he held the debris himself and even saw a video of a living extraterrestrial being. He also believed that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated partly because he wanted to share the truth about UFOs with the Soviet Union.
Malmgren wasn’t just another UFO theorist. He had served as a senior advisor to four U.S. presidents, held Q-clearance (the highest atomic energy classification), and was present in the Situation Room during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He worked closely with Henry Kissinger, CIA leaders, and economists like Alan Greenspan. His credentials were beyond question.
His calm tone during the interview, conducted by Jesse Michels on YouTube, made it all the more compelling. This wasn’t speculation or rumor. “He had written the memos. He had signed the orders.” Malmgren had been at the center of it all.
A Prodigy Turned Cold War Strategist and UFO Witness
Born in 1935 to Swedish immigrants, Malmgren was considered a prodigy by age 13. Carl Compton, then-president of MIT, spotted him while he was working with his father and offered him a full scholarship. By 14, Malmgren was reading restricted material on atomic radiation and weapons.
His intellect brought him into contact with Nobel-winning economists and global policymakers. But behind the scenes, Malmgren said he was monitored by a secret program—likely connected to what later became known as Majestic Twelve.
In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara called Malmgren to the Situation Room—not to give orders, but to slow the march toward war. His job was to challenge the assumptions that could have led to nuclear conflict. McNamara later credited him with helping prevent global disaster.
What few knew was that this crisis intersected with what Malmgren described as the most significant UFO incident in U.S. history. A classified test called Bluegill Triple Prime, conducted in the Pacific, triggered something unexpected: the appearance—and crash—of a non-human craft.
Radar teams saw an object flying beside the missile. It responded intelligently. When the warhead exploded, the object fell. The footage was sent straight to Washington.
Though Malmgren had top-level clearance, even he was blocked from seeing follow-up data. He was told it was a matter of “need-to-know.” But within two days, President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson visited Los Alamos under high secrecy. Malmgren suspected it was directly related to the retrieval.
Shortly after, Lawrence Preston Gise, director at the Atomic Energy Commission, privately showed Malmgren fragments from the crash. “The material was not metallic in the traditional sense… lightweight and unnaturally cool to the touch.” It had no seams, no welds, no composites. When he touched it, Malmgren felt something else: a mental impression. “It did not come from him. It entered without request or expectation.” He believed he was being silently observed.
He later told his daughter Pippa that this was a kind of test. Others had likely been exposed to the same material to see how they’d respond.
Inside the Secret Programs and Historical UFO Coverups
Not long after this encounter, CIA Deputy Director Richard Bissell contacted Malmgren. Bissell was the mastermind behind Area 51 and the U-2 spy plane program. He began giving Malmgren secret Friday briefings.
In those meetings, Bissell revealed that the U.S. had previously recovered non-human technology—including a 1933 crash in northern Italy, during Mussolini’s regime. That craft, Bissell said, was transferred to the U.S. with help from the Vatican after World War II. The operation was buried within the atomic and aerospace arms of government.
Bissell also said UFOs often showed up around energy research sites like Los Alamos and Oak Ridge. Attempts to block their detection failed. The craft appeared to be drawn to high-energy experiments.
Malmgren was also told about classified research involving Nikola Tesla and physicist Thomas Townsend Brown. They were believed to have discovered early principles of what’s now called “field propulsion” or antigravity. Intelligence believed this research overlapped with properties seen in recovered UFO materials.
Bissell revealed that Bluegill wasn’t just a weapons test. It was also a “signal”—a deliberate trigger to attract or provoke the unknown objects. And it worked. Years later, Malmgren confirmed: “He believed it had. He had handled the material. He had been told what it was.”
According to Malmgren, Kennedy had already known about UFOs from his time in naval intelligence. After Bluegill, he and Johnson were briefed on what had been recovered. Malmgren said Kennedy wanted three things:
1. To reduce nuclear tensions by coordinating space surveillance with the Soviets.
2. To slowly declassify propulsion and energy technologies.
3. To start joint research with the Soviet Union on the origins and intent of these objects.
Kennedy planned to move forward in his second term. But this put him in conflict with military and intelligence leaders who wanted secrecy. They feared that public knowledge could upend power structures.
Malmgren claimed, “It was likely the primary reason” Kennedy was killed. The briefings, his shift in policy, and his growing push for openness were too aligned to ignore. This was not a theory—it was, in Malmgren’s words, “a conclusion.”
The Hidden Government and the Technology They Hide
In his final disclosures, Malmgren named the secret group tracking all of this: “Majestic.” He said they had followed him since he was a teenager, monitoring individuals who might later need access or contact.
Majestic wasn’t a fixed agency. It was a rotating group of high-ranking military, intelligence, and private contractors. It operated above presidential oversight and outside congressional knowledge. Their job was to manage contact and technology involving non-human sources—without public exposure.
Malmgren said they moved past secrecy into experimentation. By the late 1950s, they had developed directed-energy systems that mimicked the effects of nuclear explosions, specifically to target unidentified craft. Bluegill was not the first attempt, just the most successful.
He also linked this to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), or “Star Wars,” launched under President Reagan. It wasn’t just for missile defense. Malmgren said SDI was rooted in decades of secret work against UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). The real aim? Control—not just defense.
“If the recovered craft could be back-engineered… the balance of power on Earth would change,” Malmgren said. The fear wasn’t about alien contact. It was about who controlled the technology that came from it.
The Lost Footage and Final Message
Malmgren confirmed there was video evidence of a living extraterrestrial, possibly from the Roswell crash. The being was “small, humanoid, and non-verbal.”
He saw the footage but refused to describe it in detail. It was stored with the Defense Intelligence Agency and viewed only by those with the highest authority.
He also spoke about the test footage. The original Bluegill video existed in two versions: Kettle One and Kettle Two. Kettle One was publicly released, showing only the detonation. But something was edited out—a white shape covering part of the sky where the object had entered.
Kettle Two, the clearer version, was never released. Freedom of Information Act requests were denied or blocked. Editors involved admitted the object had been removed to protect “narrative continuity.”
Before his death, Malmgren passed one last message to his daughter. He reaffirmed what he believed had happened. And he told her the retrieved object—likely extraterrestrial—changed everything.
