Jerome Hunsaker

Jerome C. Hunsaker (1886-1984) was an American aeronautical engineer and aviation pioneer. He served as a key figure in early U.S. naval aviation, founding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1915 and later heading MIT's Department of Aeronautical Engineering. In UAP/UFO lore, Hunsaker is alleged to have been a member of the secretive Majestic-12 (MJ-12) group, purportedly formed in 1947 to manage UFO crash retrievals and extraterrestrial technology, including the Roswell incident. These claims originate from controversial MJ-12 documents, widely regarded as hoaxes due to forensic inconsistencies like cloned signatures and anachronistic typefaces. No verified evidence links Hunsaker to UFO research, military UFO programs, or related testimony; his inclusion stems from his stature in aviation. He authored influential works on aerodynamics but none on UAPs.
