National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under President Nixon and Ford, the Harvard Academic, nuclear strategist, the man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Vietnam War, but who is also considered by many, a war criminal. That, Henry Kissinger.

Henry Kissinger enrolled at Harvard in 1947, balancing the life of a dedicated student with his ongoing ties to the counterintelligence corps.

Harvard played a prominent role in the co-mingling of the state intelligence community in academia.

James Conant, Harvard's president from 1933 to 1955, was a key figure in the Manhattan Project, managing the delicate balance between scientists and the military.

He was a staunch cold warrior, setting Harvard's tone as an anti-communist stronghold.

Another connection to the hidden UFO history was Harvard's top astronomer, Dr. Donald Menzel, a leading UFO debunker in the 1950s.

Recent claims by astrophysicist Dr. Beatrice Villoriau suggest Menzel ordered the destruction of Harvard's astronomical photographic plates taken during the 1952 Washington DC UFO flap.

He suddenly becomes the director of Harvard Observatory, and he destroys one side of the photographic place.

More on that later, another key figure, physicist Louis Brandscombe, earned his PhD from Harvard in 1949,

There was a close relationship between the institutions of state power and Harvard hidden or not.

For Harvard and Kissinger, serving the Cold War machine, whether through the Department of Defense or the CIA, was a patriotic duty.

He authored reports on psychological warfare, and with his mentor, William Elliott, launched a series of international seminars at Harvard.

But Kissinger's influence extended beyond Harvard.

He wasn't just another Harvard intellectual.

His writing was noticed, and he was invited by McGeorge Bundy, a colleague and professor at Harvard at this time, to work with the Council on Foreign Relations.

By the late 1950s, Kissinger was a tenured Harvard professor, a trusted advisor to the military and government, and a rising public intellectual.

When Kissinger returned to Harvard at the end of the war, it's plausible that he did so with intelligence ties and some knowledge of secret technology programs.

Some argue that he was bought by the Rockefeller's early on, particularly through a grant he received while earning his PhD, and that his Harvard career was merely a cover for deeper intelligence work advising MJ-12 through a specialized think tank known as PI-40.

The rest of his time was spent teaching at Harvard.
