Alan Diehl

Alan Diehl, Ph.D., is an award-winning scientist, writer, and former US government investigator and whistleblower. After personally surviving a crash, he became an aircraft designer and later earned a doctorate and worked as a research psychologist for the Pentagon, National Transportation Safety Board, and Federal Aviation Administration. During his 30-plus-year career, he also served as a consultant to the State Department, congressional committees, other US agencies, and foreign governments. He received a number of awards and highly classified assignments. His investigations included a Soviet presidential jetliner crash in Africa. He later blew on the attempted cover-up of the worst fracture side since Vietnam. After filing a complaint with the Pentagon Inspector General he was contacted by print and broadcast organizations as military and civilian safety issues occurred. These included the tragic death of Bill Clinton's commerce secretary, Ron Brown, in a US Air Force 737 and JFK junior's crash near Martha's Vineyard. Diehl's first book "Silent Knights, Blowing the Whistle on Military Accidents and Their Coverups" was nominated for a Pulitzer prize. His second book "Air Safety Investigators: Using Science to Save Lives -- One Crash at a Time" received critical acclaim. During his career Diehl occasionally worked with the "Deep State." And when a former member of J. Edgar Hoover's staff disclosed sensitive information about John and Robert Kennedy's behavior, he began to examine their alleged relationships with Marilyn Monroe. It appeared the brothers had discussed highly classified information with the actress during their trysts. When they dumped her, she threatened to disclose these secrets. The government had to silence her, but they did not need to kill her because the CIA's MK-Ultra program had perfected techniques that could have 'erased' her memories of the classified information. Diehl was familiar with similar techniques. But he did not want to become a whistleblower again, so he put the information in a novel: "Kidnap Marilyn, The Daring Scheme to Save Her." Others have noted it is written in the fantasy fiction genre of Quintin Tarantino's, "Once upon a Time in Hollywood."
