Ryan Wood is an American researcher and the son of aerospace engineer Robert M. Wood. Together they spent many years collecting, analysing and publishing documents connected to the Majestic-12 (MJ-12) story, which they made available on their Majestic Documents website.
Work
In 2005 Ryan Wood published Majic Eyes Only, a catalogue of more than 70 claimed crash-retrieval incidents around the world, each graded by how credible he judged the evidence. He has organised conferences on crash retrievals and promoted the view that the U.S. government has recovered non-human craft.
Assessment
The Woods argued that many MJ-12 documents, including those supplied by Tim Cooper, were authentic. Most researchers reject this, citing historical and formatting errors. The catalogue is still used as a reference list of claimed incidents.
