DOES THIS PRESIDENTIAL BRIEFING DOCUMENT PROVE EXTRATERRESTRIALS ARE VISITING PLANET EARTH? AN EXPERIENCED RESEARCH TEAM THINKS IT DOES. DID THE UNITED STATES RECOVER A CRASHED ALIEN VEHICLE? DID THE UNITED STATES RECOVER ALIEN BODIES? WAS A _TOP SECRET_ ORGANIZATION OF DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS AND MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS - INCLUDING FOUR DIRECTORS OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE - SET UP TO CONTROL THIS ALIEN RECOVERY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES? THIS PRESIDENTIAL DOCUMENT SAYS YES! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOP SECRET UFO DOCUMENTS RELEASED! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 11th, 1987 The accompanying document [RELEASE4.UFO] is part of the research properties of William L. Moore, Jaime H. Shandera and Stanton T. Friedman. Moore (a professional writer) and Friedman (a well-known nuclear physicist) are recognized and respected UFO researchers of long standing with solid bacjgrounds for factual reporting. Both have written and lectured widely on the subject. Shandera is a Los Angeles television producer with a background that includes directing a variety of news and documentary shows. In 1982, after Moore had worked more than a year and a half on his own, the three teamed up on a research project that would take them further into the strange world of government involvement with Unidentified Flying Objects than anyone in the civilian field is known to have ever gone before. This project involved anonymous government agents sharing research pointers and dialogue alleging that UFOs are indeed extraterrestrial spacecraft and that certain elements of the U. S. intelligence community continue to maintain a high-level but covert interest in this phenomenon at a time when official position statements assert that there is no government interest whatsoever. Over the past seven years, the Moore-Shandera-Friedman team, working closely with a number of other associates both in the news media and within the civilian UFO community, has aggressively pursued contacts, developed sources, and carefully researched leads. Numerous interviews were conducted and many days were spent combing through records at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. as well as both the Truman and Eisenhower presidential libraries and numerous similar facilities both federal and private. They can now report that considerable progress has been made. The accompanying document arrived in the mail in a plain brown wrapper at the residence of Jaime Shandera [pronounced SHAN-der-ray] in December, 1984. A detailed and exhaustive study of every aspect of this document has been under way since then. Although we are not in a position to endorse its authenticity at this time, it is our considered opinion, based upon research and interviews conducted thus far, that the document and its contents _appear_ to be genuine. At the very least, it is possible to state with certainty that absolutely nothing has surfaced during the course of our research which would seem to suggest otherwise. Indeed, one document was uncovered at the National Archives which unquestionably verifies the existence of an "MJ 12" group in 1954 and definitely links both the National Security Council and the President of the United States to it. A copy of this document, with its authenticating stamp from the National Archives, is also attached for your examination [RELEASE2.UFO]. These materials are being submitted for your examination and consideration either as a member of the news media or as one whose own interests and research lie along similar lines. Please be advised that no use of this material may be made without crediting its source as the Moore-Shandera-Friedman Research Project into U.S. Government UFO Policy.

SUBJECT: OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 PRELIMINARY BRIEFING FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT EISENHOWER] DOCUMENT PREPARED 18 NOVEMBER, 1952 BRIEFING OFFICER: ADM. ROSCOE H. HILLENKOETTER (MJ-1) NOTE: This document has been prepared as a preliminary briefing only. It should be regarded as introductory to a full operations briefing intended to follow. * * * * * * OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 is a TOP SECRET Research and Development/ Intelligence operation responsible directly and only to the President of the United States. Operations of the project are carried out under the control of the Majestic-12 (Majic-12) Group which was established by special classified executive order of President Truman on 24 September, 1947, upon recommendation by Dr. Vannevar Bush and Secretary James Forrestal. (See Attachment "A".) Members of the Majestic-12 Group were designated as follows: Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter Dr. Vannevar Bush Secy. James V. Forrestal* Gen. Nathan P. Twining Gen Hoyt S. Vandenberg Dr. Detlev Bronk Dr. Jerome Hunsaker Mr. Sidney W. Souers Mr. Gordon Gray Dr. Donald Menzel Gen. Robert M. Montague Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner The death of Secretary Forrestal on 22 May, 1949, created a vacancy which remained unfilled until 01 August, 1950, upon which date Gen. Walter B. Smith was designated as permanent replacement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOP SECRET / MAJIC _EYES ONLY_ EYES ONLY T52-EXEMPT (E) 002 TOP SECRET / MAJIC 003 EYES ONLY * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * _EYES ONLY_ COPY _ONE_ OF _ONE_ On 24 June, 1947, a civilian pilot flying over the Cascade Mountains in the State of Washington observed nine flying disc-shaped aircraft traveling in formation at a high rate of speed. Although this was not the first known sighting of such objects, it was the first to gain widespread attention in the public media. Hundreds of reports of sightings of similar objects followed. Many of these came from highly credible military and civilian sources. These reports res- ulted in independent efforts by several different elements of the military to ascertain the nature and purpose of these objects in the interests of national defense. A number of witnesses were interviewed and there were several unsuccessful attempts to utilize aircraft in efforts to pursue reported discs in flight. Public reaction bordered on near hysteria at times. In spite of these efforts, little of substance was learned about the objects until a local rancher reported that one had crashed in a remote region of New Mexico located approx- mately seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Base (now Walker Field). On 07 July, 1947, a secret operation was begun to assure recovery of the wreckage of this object for scientific study. During the course of this operation, aerial reconnaissance discovered that four small human-like beings had apparently ejected from the craft at some point before it exploded. These had fallen to earth about two miles east of the wreck- age site. All four were dead and badly decomposed due to action by predators and exposure to the elements during the approximately one week time period which had elapsed before their discovery. A special scientific team took charge of removing these bodies for study. (See attachment "C".) The wreckage of the craft was also removed to several different locations.(See Attachment "B".) Civilian and military witnesses in the area were debriefed, and news reporters were given the effective cover story that the object had been a misguided weather research balloon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOP SECRET / [BLANKED] _EYES ONLY_ T52-EXEMPT (E) EYES ONLY 003 TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY ******************* * TOP SECRET * ******************* EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONE A covert analytical effort organized by Gen. Twining and Dr. Bush acting on the direct orders of the President, resulted in a preliminary concensus (19 September, 1947) that the disc was most likely a short range reconaissance craft. This conclusion was based for the most part on the craft's size and the apparent lack of any identifiable provisioning. (See Attachment "D".) A similar analysis of the four dead occupants was arranged by Dr. BRonk. It was the tentative conclsions of this group (30 November, 1947) that although these creatures are human-like in appearance, the biological and evolutionary processes responsible for their development has apparently been quite different from those observed or postulated in homo-sapiens. Dr. Bronk's team has suggested the term "Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities", or "EBE's", be adopted as the standard term of reference for these creatures until such time as a more definitive designation can be agreed upon. Since it is virtually certain that these craft do not originate in any country on earth, considerable speculation has centered around what their point of origin might be and how they get here. Mars was and remains a possibility, although some scientists, most notably Dr. Menzel, consider it more likely that we are dealing with beings from another solar system entirely. Numerous examples of what appear to be a form of writing were found in the wreckage. Efforts to decipher these have remained largely unsuccessful. (See Attachment "E".) Equally unsuccesful have been efforts to determine the method of propulsion or the nature or method of transmission of the power source involved. Research along these lines has been complicated by the complete absence of identifiable wings, propellors, jets, or other conventional methods of propulsion and guidance, as well as a total lack of metallic wiring, vacuum tubes, or similar recognizable electronic components. (See Attachment "F".) It is assumed that the propulsion unit was completely destroyed by the explosion which caused the crash. ****************** * TOP SECRET * ****************** EYES ONLY TOP SECRET / MAJIC T-52 EXEMPT (E) EYES ONLY 004 TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY ****************** * TOP SECRET * ****************** EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONE A need for as much additional information as possible about these craft, their performance characteristics and their purpose led to the undertaking known as U. S. Air Force Project SIGN in December, 1947. In order to preserve security, liason between SIGN and Majestic-12 was limited to two individuals within the Intelligence Division of Air Material Command whose role was to pass along certain types of information through channels. SIGN evolved into Project GRUDGE in December, 1948. The operation is currently being conducted under the code name BLUE BOOK, with liason maintained through the Air Force officer who is head of the project. On 06 December, 1950, a second object, probably of similar origin, impacted the earth at high speed in the El Indio - Guerrero area of the Texas - Mexican border after following a long trajectory through the atmosphere. By the time a search team arrived, what remained of the object had been almost totally incinerated. Such material as could be recovered was trasnported to the A. E. C. facility at Sandia, New Mexico, for study. Implications for the National Security are of continuing importance in that the motives and ultimate intentions of these visitors remain completely unknown. In addition, a significant upsurge in the surveillance activity of these craft beginning in May and continuing through the autumn of this year has caused considerable concern that new developments may be imminent. It is for these reasons, as well as the obvious international and technological considerations and the ultimate need to avoid a public panic at all costs, that the Majestic-12 Group remains of the unanimous opinion that imposition of the strictest security precautions should continue without interruption into the new administration. At the same time, contingency plan MJ-1949- 04P/78 (Top Secret - Eyes Only) should be held in continued readiness should the need to make a public announcement present itself.

Hereafter this matter shall be referred to only as Operation Majestic Twelve. It continues to be my feeling that any future considerations relative to the ultimate disposition of this matter should rest solely with the Office of the President following appropriate discussions with yourself, Dr. Bush and the Director of Central Intelligence. /s/Harry Truman TOP SECRET EYES ONLY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE TOP SECRET-EYES ONLY UFO BRIEFING DOCUMENTS: 1. Is there any other evidence that the U.S. government retrieved a crashed alien craft outside Roswell, New Mexico in July, 1947? Moore and Friedman have since 1978 conducted a very, very extensive research project concerning the so-called Roswell Incident. To date, 92 different people have been located and interviewed about the event, 31 of whom had first-hand involvement. Included are several generals, the base security officer, counter-intelligence corps personnel, the neighbors and family of the rancher who discovered the wrecked device, the public relations officer of the air base, local news media personnel, etc. etc. To date, one book and five research papers have been published presenting the data. 2. Is there any proof that the event was first publicized and then covered up by the government? Yes. A press release was first distributed by the Army Air Force at Roswell stating that a crashed disc had been recovered. Then shortly afterwards the head of the 8th Air Force announced that a mistake had been made and that it was only a radar reflector from a weather balloon. The officer who took the call from Washington, DC with the instructions to cover-up the story has so testified to Friedman and Moore. Many people who handled the very strange materials have testified that the material could not have been from a radar reflector. Ten first-hand witnesses are on record as having stated that the object was, in fact, some sort of space craft. 3. Was there any evidence of strange writing on the retrieved material? Yes. five persons who actually handled pieces of the wreckage have described very unusual symbols on pieces of the wreckage. 4. Is there any evidence that President-elect Eisenhower received a military briefing on 18 November, 1952? Yes. Information at the Eisenhower Library and in the Truman files indicates White House and Pentagon briefings on that date. A Washington _Post_ article also confirms a briefing on that date. 5. Is there any evidence that Bush and Forrestal met with Truman on Sept. 24th, 1947? Yes. Forrestal's diary, Bush's files and the Truman Library listing of Presidential activities all establish that Bush and Forrestal first met with each other and then with Truman on that date. Bush and Forrestal often met with each other during the 1947-1949 time frame. 6. Is there any evidence that the Cutler to Twining "Top Secret-Eyes Only" memo is genuine? Yes. There are several factors to be considered here: A. It was found in a file box at the National Archives by Moore and Shandera who were the first persons to go through the newly declassified materials. B. The archivist Joanna Williamson who was in charge of the RG 341 file is quoted in the London _Observer_ as saying "It was found in the files of the U.S. Air Force's Director of Intelligence and is certainly genuine." C. A very similar in format and content "Top Secret-Eyes Only" memo was sent by Cutler to Twining in 1953 about a similar NSC meeting on another, unrelated, project. 7. Why is there no signature on the memo? The file copy was a carbon. Carbons are not normally signed. 8. Is there any reason at all to think that Harvard Astronomer Dr. Donald Menzel, who wrote three anti-UFO books and many articles, could really have been part of a Top Secret-Eyes Only group that knew some UFOs were "Identified Alien Craft"? As a result of extended research by Friedman at Harvard and elsewhere, these facts have been established about Menzel: A. Menzel once mentioned in a letter written to President-elect Jack Kennedy that he possessed a Top Secret-Ultra security clearance. B. Menzel claimed to JFK in 1960 that he had a longer continuous association with the highly classified National Security Agency (NSA) and its predecessor U.S. Navy agency than anyone else in the government at that time. C. Menzel's association with Dr. Vannevar Bush, wartime head of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, dates back to 1934. D. Bush was the staunchest Menzel defender at a USAF loyalty hearing in 1950. Indeed, Bush had instructed Menzel's attorney to notify him (Bush) immediately upon resolution of the loyalty problem. E. Menzel worked on classified programs for more than 30 different companies. F. Menzel is on record as having made numerous trips during 1947 to both Washington, DC and New Mexico on government research activities. G. Menzel had learned Japanese for his cryptography work for the Navy, was familiar with disinformation, and would have been the perfect person to show the Roswell writing to. H. Menzel had written science fiction and popular newspaper articles for major papers. He was the best qualified of the 12 to put out disinformation and his first book was translated into Russian. 9. The documents indicate that a second object crashed in Texas on the night of December 6th-7th , 1950. Is there any indication that such an event ever occurred? Yes. A copy of an official communique was located in files released by the FBI indicating a "high alert" status about UFOs had been called by the Air Force on December 8th, 1950. There are also several newspaper articles indicating that military leaves at various airbases were abruptly cancelled that same day. 10. What about other official documentary evidence? A formerly Top Secret Canadian memo dated November, 1950, states that "the matter (of UFOs) is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government" and identified Dr. Vannevar Bush as head of a project which was trying to discover how UFOs work. 11. Isn't it true that Admiral Hillenkoetter was actually serving in the Pacific at the time of the supposed Eisenhower briefing? No. The facts are that he had been assigned to Pacific duty in November, 1950, but he returned as commander of the Brookly, NY, Naval Base in September, 1951. In June, 1952, he was named Commandant of the US Navy Third District and was based in New York City. 12. Doesn't it seem strange that General Eisenhower had to be briefed in 1952 on matters about which he surely would have been informed as Army Chief of Staff years earlier? Not at all. The facts are that he accepted the job as President of Columbia University in June, 1947 -- _before_ the Roswell Incident and the establishment of Majestic 12. He served until May, 1950, when he began a very difficult job in Europe as Supreme Commander of the NATO forces trying to unify a number of different military and political factions. He remained there until 1952 when he returned to campaign for the presidency. In other words, he had no "need-to-know" during the period July, 1947 through November, 1952. His forte was neither intelligence nor technology.
