John Olsen Lear (December 3, 1942 – March 29, 2022), son of Learjet magnate Bill Lear, was an aviator who set multiple records, later flying cargo planes for the CIA during the Vietnam era.[1]
In the 1980s, Lear began speaking of alien collusion with secret governmental forces.[2] In the second half of the 1980s, Lear was "probably the most influential source" of UFO conspiracy theories.[3]
