- ION 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 est
- ablished by special classified executive order of President Truman on 24 September, 1947, upon recommendation by Dr. Vannevar Bus
- h 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 Me
- nzel 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 *

- * * * * * * * * * * * * * *_EYES ONLY_ COPY _ONE_ OF _ONE_On 24 June, 1947, a civil
- ian pilot flying over the CascadeMountains in the State of Washington observed nine flyingdisc-shaped aircraft traveling in formation at a h
- igh rateof speed. Although this was not the first known sightingof such objects, it was the first to gain widespread attentionin the publi
- c media. Hundreds of reports of sightings of similar objects followed. Many of these came from highlycredible military and civilian source
- s. These reports res-ulted in independent efforts by several different elementsof the military to ascertain the nature and purpose of these
- objects in the interests of national defense. A number ofwitnesses were interviewed and there were several unsuccessfulattempts to utilize
- aircraft in efforts to pursue reporteddiscs in flight. Public reaction bordered on near hysteriaat 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 appr
- ox-mately seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Base (now Walker Field).On 07 July, 1947, a secret operation was begun to assurer
- ecovery 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 eas
- t of the wreck-age site. All four were dead and badly decomposed due to action by predators and exposure to the elements during the approxim
- ately one week time period which had elapsed before their discovery. A special scientific team took charge of removing these bodies for stud
- y. (See attachment "C".) The wreckage of the craft was also removed to several different locations.(See Attachment "B".) Civilian and milita
- ry witnesses in the area were debriefed, and news reporters were given the effective cover story that the object had been a misguided weathe
- r research balloon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * *

- EA covert analytical effort organized by Gen. Twining and Dr. Bush acting on the direct orders of the President, resulted in a preliminary c
- oncensus (19 September, 1947) that the disc was most likely a short range reconaissance craft. This conclusion was based for the most part o
- n the craft's size and the apparent lack of any identifiable provisioning. (See Attachment "D".) A similar analysis of the four dead occupan
- ts 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 o
- bserved or postulated in homo-sapiens. Dr. Bronk's team has suggested the term "Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities", or "EBE's", be adopt
- ed as the standard term of reference for these creatures until such time as a more definitive designation can be agreed upon.Since it is vir
- tually certain that these craft do not originate in any country on earth, considerable speculation has centered around what their point of o
- rigin might be and how they get here. Mars was and remains a possibility, although some scientists, most notably Dr. Menzel, consider it mor
- e likely that we are dealing with beings from another solar system entirely.Numerous examples of what appear to be a form of writing were fo
- und in the wreckage. Efforts to decipher these have remained largely unsuccessful. (See Attachment "E".) Equally unsuccesful have been effor
- ts to determine the method of propulsion or the nature or method of transmission of the power source involved. Research along these lines ha
- s 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 assum
- ed that the propulsion unit was completely destroyed by the explosion which caused the crash. ******************

- CRET * ******************EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONEA need for as much additional i
- nformation as possible about these craft, their performance characteristics and their purpose led to the undertaking known as U. S. Air Forc
- e Project SIGN in December, 1947. In order to preserve security, liason between SIGN and Majestic-12 was limited to two individuals within t
- he Intelligence Division of Air Material Command whose role was to pass along certain types of information through channels. SIGN evolved in
- to Project GRUDGE in December, 1948. The operation is currently being conducted under the code name BLUE BOOK, with liason maintained throug
- h 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 ti
- me a search team arrived, what remained of the object had been almost totally incinerated. Such material as could be recovered was trasnport
- ed 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 activit
- y of these craft beginning in May and continuing through the autumn of this year has caused considerable concern that new developments may b
- e 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. (See Attachment "G".)
