Checking to see what Peter Levenda has to say about Fred Lee Crisman is worthwhile. Some quotes:
[COLOR="Blue"]FLYING SAUCER NEWS
On June 21, 1947—the summer solstice—six unidentified flying objects were seen over Maury Island in Puget Sound in the State of Washington. The observers were Harold A. Dahl, …his two crewman, his teenaged son and a dog…* [/COLOR]
[Crisman was reported to have gone to the scene the next day]
[COLOR="Blue"]This is a seminal event. No matter on what side of the Kennedy assassination one finds oneself… the Fred Crisman element strains credulity… More than twenty years after this event, Crisman will be subpoenaed by District Attorney Jim Garrison as a suspect in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy…
…June 24, 1947, the world changed.
This was the day of the famous sighting of nine UFOs north of Mount Rainer by Kenneth Arnold…
…One of the men involved in the investigation of UFO reports in the American Northwest that year was none other the FBI Agent Guy Banister… Guy Banister’s name is well-known among conspiracy aficionados as another one of the men implicated by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison…
…Thus, the 1947 UFO sightings attracted two men—Crisman and Banister—who both would come under suspicion twenty years later for their supporting roles in the Kennedy assassination. The odds against this happening must be astronomical…[/COLOR]

* - The whole story of the Maury Island UFO incident is confusing. Some believe (or want to believe) it was a real UFO sighting, others believe that it was simply a hoax, and others believe that it may have been an accident in the testing of some type of advanced aircraft. What is generally accepted is that Crisman and Harold Dahl were connected as friends, or business partners, (or something), and Dahl at some point referred to Crisman as his “superior.” Neither Dahl or Crisman were in anything called a “Harbor Patrol.” Dahl was in the lumber salvage business and had a boat that he used for “patrolling” Puget Sound for salvageable logs.
