Robert M. Wood (1930–2024) was an American aerospace engineer who worked for Douglas Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas for more than 40 years. In the 1960s he led company research into UFO propulsion and gravity, and was consulted by the Condon Committee.
MJ-12 research
With his son Ryan Wood, he spent years analysing and publishing the MJ-12 documents, arguing many were authentic, a view most researchers reject. He co-wrote Alien Viruses and promoted research through the Majestic Documents website.
