- LONDON (Reuters)- The U.S. held a top-secret investigation into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) after World War II and found the bodies
- of four humanoids from a crashed flying saucer, according to Britain's leading UFO expert.
- The Observer newpaper yesterday quoted UFO researcher Timothy Good as saying a U.S. Government committee code-named "Majestic-12" exami
- ned and then covered up news of UFO crashes in the late 1940's.
- According to Good's book "Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-Up," to be published in July, the MJ-12 committee was set up by Pre
- sident Harry Truman to check reports of unidentified aircraft sighted in the U.S.
- Following a report from a local farmer, the committee launched a search for a crashed UFO in a remote area of New Mexico in 1947.
- They found the bodies of four humanoid creatures, Good said.
- Good quoted from a briefing paper prepared by then-CIA head Roscoe Hillenkoeter for Truman's successor, President Dwight Eisenhower.
- "Four small human-like beings had apparently ejected from the craft at some point before it exploded," the document said.
- The Observer said it had seen the briefing paper but inquiries to several U.S. archives had failed to authenticate it.
