John Olson Lear is an influential conspiracy theorist, a pilot, and a one-time candidate for State Senate. Lear has promoted the "Dark Hypothesis", a story of alien collusion with secret governmental forces.[1] Lear left a lasting influence on the UFO movement; One author observed "in the early years [UFO writers] did not, by and large, embrace strong political positions. [Lear and his partner] were the tip of a spear asserting that the number one thing we had to fear was not little green men, but the government that colluded with them, appropriating their technology against us."
