This article is about the purported secret committee. For other uses, see.Majestic 12 (or MJ-12) is a purported organization that appears in. The organization is claimed to be the of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an by to facilitate recovery and investigation of. The concept originated in a series of supposedly leaked secret government documents first circulated by in 1984.
Upon examination, the (FBI) declared the documents to be 'completely bogus', and many ufologists consider them to be an elaborate. Majestic 12 remains popular among some UFO conspiracy theorists and the concept has appeared in popular culture including television, film and literature. Contents.History The concept of 'Majestic 12' emerged during a period in the 1980s when ufologists believed there had been a of the and speculated some secretive upper tier of the United States government was responsible. Their suppositions appeared to be confirmed in 1984 when ufologist Jaime Shandera received an envelope containing film which, when developed, showed images of eight pages of documents that appeared to be briefing papers describing 'Operation Majestic 12'. The documents purported to reveal a secret committee of 12, supposedly authorized by United States President Harry S.
Truman in 1952, and explain how the crash of an alien spacecraft at Roswell in July of 1947 had been concealed, how the recovered alien technology could be exploited, and how the United States should engage with extraterrestrial life in the future.Shandera and his ufologist colleagues and say they later received a series of anonymous messages that led them to find what has been called the 'Cutler/Twining memo' in 1985 while searching declassified files in the. Purporting to be written by President Eisenhower's assistant Robert Cutler to General and containing a reference to Majestic 12, the memo is widely held to be a forgery, likely planted as part of a hoax. Historian Robert Goldberg wrote that the ufologists came to believe the story despite the documents being 'obviously planted to bolster the legitimacy of the briefing papers'.Claiming to be connected to the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations, a man named Richard Doty told filmmaker that the MJ-12 story was true, and showed Howe unspecified documents purporting to prove the existence of small, grey humanoid aliens originating from the star system. Doty reportedly promised to supply Howe with film footage of UFOs and an interview with an alien being, although no footage ever materialized.Soon, distrust and suspicion led to disagreements within the ufology community over the authenticity of the MJ-12 documents, and Moore was accused of taking part in an elaborate hoax, while other ufologists and debunkers such as were accused of being 'disinformation agents'. Analysis Klass's investigation of the MJ-12 documents found that Robert Cutler was actually out of the country on the date he supposedly wrote the 'Cutler/Twining memo', and that the Truman signature was 'a pasted-on photocopy of a genuine signature —including accidental scratch marks — from a memo that Truman wrote to on October 1, 1947'.
Klass dismissed theories that the documents were part of a disinformation campaign as 'ridiculous', saying they contained numerous flaws that could never fool Soviet or Chinese intelligence. Other discrepancies noted by Klass included the use of a distinctive date format that matched one used in Moore's personal letters, and a conversation reported by Brad Sparks in which Moore confided that he was contemplating creating and releasing some hoax Top Secret documents in hopes that such bogus documents would encourage former military and intelligence officials who knew about the government's (alleged) UFO coverup to break their oaths of secrecy.The FBI began its own investigation of the supposed 'secret' documents and quickly formed doubts as to their authenticity. The stated that no such committee had ever been authorized or formed, and that the documents were 'bogus'. The FBI subsequently declared the MJ-12 documents to be 'completely bogus'.Later in 1996, a document called the MJ-12 'Special Operations Manual' circulated among ufologists. It is also widely considered to be a fake and 'a continuation of the MJ-12 myth'.Ufologists Linda Moulton Howe and believe the MJ-12 documents are authentic. Friedman examined the documents and has argued that the United States government has conspired to cover up knowledge of a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft.According to journalist the name 'Majestic 12' had been prefigured in the UFO community when asked reporter Bob Pratt in 1982 to collaborate on a novel called MAJIK-12.
Because of this, Blum writes, Pratt had always been inclined to think the Majestic 12 documents a hoax.author investigated the history of the subject, and reported his findings in the 2016 Skeptoid podcast episode 'The Secret History of Majestic 12'. He concluded that, rather than a hoax perpetrated by the UFO community, it is likely the papers were actually part of a campaign of the US government meant to deflect attention from secret Air Force projects. Referring to the MJ-12 documents, Dunning states:They were classic disinformation, false documents created to play a role in real national security. They were designed and written for specific who did with them exactly what they were meant to.

They took advantage of well-meaning patriots who wanted enhanced national security, and who, by being easy to fool, ended up providing exactly that.

HILLENKOETTER (MJ-1)NOTE: This document has been prepared as a preliminarybriefing only. It should be regarded as introductory to afull operations briefing intended to follow.OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 is a TOP SECRET Research andDevelopment/Intelligence operation responsible directlyonly to the President of the United States. Operations ofthe project are carried out under control of the Majestic-12(MAJIC) Group which was established by special classifiedexecutive order of President Truman on 24 September, 1947,upon recommendation by Dr.
Vannevar Bush and Secretary JamesForrestal. (See Attachment 'A'.) Members of the majestic-12Group were designated as follows:Adm. Vannevar BushSecy. Detlev BronkDr. Jerome HunsakerMr. Gordon GrayDr. Donald MenzelGen.
BerknerThe death of Secretary Forrestal on 22 May, 1949, created avacancy which remained unfilled until 01 August, 1950, uponwhich date Gen. Smith was designated as permanentreplacement.TOP SECRET -EYES ONLY-On 24 June, 1947, a civilian pilot, flying over the CascadeMountains in the State of Washington observed nine flyingdisc-shaped aircraft travelling in formation at a high rateof speed. Although this was not the first known sighting ofsuch objects, it was the first to gain widespread attentionin the public media. Hundreds of reports of sightings ofsimilar objects followed. Many of these came from highlycredible military and civilian sources. These reportsresulted in independent efforts by several differentelements of the military to ascertain the nature and purposeof these objects in the interests of national defense.
Anumber of witnesses were interviewed and there were severalunsuccessful attempts to utilise aircraft in efforts topursue reported discs in flight. Public reaction bordered onnear hysteria at times. In spite of these efforts, little ofsubstance was learned about the objects until a localrancher reported that one had crashed in a remote region ofNew Mexico located approximately seventy-five milesnorthwest of Roswell Army Air Base (now Walker Field). On 07July, 1947, a secret operation was begun to assure recoveryof the wreckage of this object for scientific study.Duringthe course of this operation, aerial reconnaissancediscovered that four small human-like beings had apparentlyejected from the craft at some point before it exploded.These had fallen to earth about two miles east of thewreckage site. All four were dead and badly decomposed dueto action by predators and exposure to the elements duringthe approximately one week time period which had elapsedbefore their discovery. A special scientific took charge ofremoving these bodies for study.
(See Attachment 'C'.) Thewreckage of the craft was also removed to several differentlocations. (See Attachment 'B'.) Civilian and militarywitnesses in the area were debriefed, and news reporterswere given the effective cover story that the object hadbeen a misguided weather research balloon.A covert analytical effort organized by Gen. Twining and Dr.Bush acting on the direct orders of the President, resultedin a preliminary concensus (19 September, 1947) that thedisc was most likely a short range reconnaissance craft.This conclusion was based for the most part on the craft'ssize and the apparent lack of any identifiable provisioning.(See Attachment 'D'.) A similar analysis of the four deadoccupants was arranged by Dr.
It was the tentativeconclusion of this group (30 november, 1947) that althoughthese creatures are human-like in appearance, the biologicaland evolutionary processes responsible for their developmenthas apparently been quite different fromthose observed or postulated in homo-sapiens. Dr Bronk's teahas suggested the term 'Extra-terrestrial BiologicalEntities', or 'EBEs', be adopted as the standard term ofreference for these creatures until such time as a moredefinitive designation can be agreed upon. Since it isvirtually certain that these craft do not originate in anycountry on earth, considerable speculation has centredaround what their point of origin may be and how they gethere.
Mars was and remains a possibility, although somescientists, most notably Dr. Menzel, consider it more likelythat we are dealing with beings from another solar systementirely. Numerous examples of what appear to be a form ofwriting were found in the wreckage.
Efforts to decipherthese have remained largely unsuccessful. (See Attachment'E'.) Equally unsuccessful have been efforts to determinethe methods of propulsion or the nature or method oftransmission of the power source involved. Research alongthese lines has been complicated by the complete absence ofidentifiable wings, propellers, jets, or other conventionalmethods of propulsion and guidance, as well as a total lackof metallic wiring, vacuum tubes, or similar recognizableelectronic components.
(See Attachment 'F'.) It is assumedthat the propulsion unit was completely destroyed by theexplosion which caused the crash.A need for as much additional information as possible aboutthese craft, their performance characteristics and theirpurpose led to the undertaking known as U.S. Air ForceProject SIGN in December, 1947. In order to preservesecurity, liaison between SIGN and Majestic-12 was limitedto two individuals within the Intelligence Division of AirMaterial Command whose role was to pass along certain typesof information through channels. SIGN evolved into ProjectGRUDGE in December, 1948. The operation is currently beingconducted under the code name BLUE BOOK, with liaisonmaintained through the Air Force officer who is head of theproject. On 06 december, 1950, a second object, probably ossimilar origin, impacted the earth at high speed in the ElIndio - Guerrero area of Texas - Mexican border afterfollowing a long trajectory through the atmosphere. By thetime a search team arrived, what remained of the object asbeen totally incinerated.
Such material as could beenrecovered was transported to the A.E.C. Facility at Sandia,New Mexico, for study.
Implications for the NationalSecurity are of continuing importance in that the motivesand ultimate intentions of these visitors remain completelyunknown.
