Henry J. Taylor (1902–1984) was an American journalist, radio commentator and later U.S. ambassador to Switzerland.
The 1950 broadcast
On 27 March 1950, Taylor announced on his national radio program that flying saucers were real and were secret U.S. military devices, and that he could not say more for security reasons. The claim made headlines. Researchers have since argued that this and similar stories may have been planted to calm public fears or to mislead foreign intelligence, a form of disinformation. Some accounts link the effort to Joseph Bryan III, who reportedly led CIA psychological warfare work at the time. The Air Force did not confirm Taylor's claim.
