American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedBissell (1909–1994) ran the CIA's U-2 and Corona reconnaissance programmes and chose the Groom Lake site later known as Area 51. Harald Malmgren said late in life that Bissell briefed him on 'otherworld technologies' and a 1933 crash in Italy. That account is Malmgren's alone; the corpus discusses it as recollection, not record.
