(2) The following are photos of supposed MJ-12 Support Team Members from a confidential LANL source. Most of these team members still remain unidentified despite intense concerted efforts to identify them.

Figure 1: Counting from left to right at bottom in sitting position; Theodore von Karman is second front left with his left arm resting on a chair. In the next to the very back left of middle standing straight up and wearing glasses is Leonard Wendling (Dayton Ohio) of the Navy. Others remain unidentified. Von Karman’s name can be found throughout many of the MJ-12 documents in above link.

Figure 2:
Supposed new MJ-12 support team members at LANL circa 1958 from the confidential LANL source with no details. Major General Whitehead is center in above photo and on extreme right in Figure 3 photo. The only person that could be identified in this photo was of Whitehead. Who was Whitehead?

Note: some of the photos show fading because of aging.

Figure 3:
Major General Ennis R. Whitehead is on the extreme right in this photo with Douglas McArthur in the center. Picture taken in the Southwest Pacific during one of McArthur’s visits to the American troops who immediately afterward made their first landing on New Britain, a major Japanese base during WW II. Other people identified left to right: Major General S. J. Chamberlin, General MacArthur’s Operations Officer, Lt. General Walter Kreueger, Commander of the American Sixth Army; Brig. General E. D. Patrick, Chief of Staff of the Sixth Army; Vice-Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, Commander of the Allied Naval Forces. Chamberlin later rose to become the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2 (Intelligence) in the summer of 1947 and was one of the members of the summer “Mission” resulting in the report on recovered lenticular aerodyne objects of September 1947:

Figure 4: MJ-12 Team members at Holloman AFB NM, April 1964?

Received from the confidential LANL source, but this picture was not taken in 1964. From the evidence it seems this was taken in either late 1953 or later perhaps at Los Alamos. The aircraft in the background is a C97 cargo/refueling aircraft. Robert Oppenheimer (questionable uncertainty over this) is on the extreme left. Nathan Twining of MJ-12 fame is on the extreme right.

Edward Condon of the famous University of Colorado Condon Report on UFOs is next to Twining. Both Oppenheimer and Condon were Nuclear Physicist. Neither of the other two gentlemen can be identified.

     Oppenheimer and Twining’s names can be found in a number of MJ-12 documents with one entitled, Twining’s “White Hot Report: Mission Assessment of Recovered Lenticular Aerodyne Objects:”

comments about Figure 5. Bleed through cover page copy of 1962 MJ-12 Executive Briefing for JFK. MAJCOMSEC: Majestic Communications Security.

    
This document has received confirmation from two separate sources which support the fact that there was an EXCOM (Executive Committee; setup to deal with the Cuban missile crisis) meeting at the time/date specified in the Project Jehovah MJ-12 document next.

One source is:

     “An Unfinished Life” (a book about JFK’s life, 2003) pages 559-65 and the other source is a FOIA document released in 1988, see link below.

     This document also confirms that a Dr. Weisner (MIT Science Adviser to JFK) was present at the meeting.
