MJ12 Documents
One of the most controversial documents to be uncovered in the anals of UFO
research is called the MJ Documents. These documents were left under Jaime
Shandera's home door by an unknown source in 1984. At this Mr. Shandera was
a producer in the Los Angeles area and was working with Bill Moore, to
undercover the secret about the UFOs. At this time, Bill Moore was working
with scientist Stanton Friedman and so the three of these men upon receiving
these documents did extensive research. These documents have been re-
published in a Richard Hall's book, "Uninvited Quests" as well as "Crash at
Corona" by Stanton Friedman and Don Berliner in 1992. Mr. Friedman believes
based on other documents they found in the National Archieve that the
documents are geninue and other researchers have found some inconsistancies
with page number and type face of the 1950's.

SUBJECT: OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 PRELIMINAR 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 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 F. 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.

On 24 June, 1947, a civilian pilot, flying over the Cascade Mountains in the
State of Washington observed nine flying disc-shaped aircraft travelling in
formation at a high rate of speed. Although this was not the first known
sighting of such objects, it was the firs to gain widespread attention in
the public media. Hundereds of reports of sightings of similar objects
followed. Many of these came from highly credible military and civilian
sources. These reports resulted 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 attemts to utilise 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 approximately 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 wreckage
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 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 wee given the effective cover story that the object had been a
misguided weather research balloon.
************** * TOP SECRET * **************
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 reconnaissance
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 conclusion 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 tea has suggested the term "Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities",
or "EBEs", 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 centred around what their
point of origin may 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 unsuccessful have been efforts to determine the
methods 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 * **************
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
unde 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 os similar origin, impacted
the earth at high speed in the El Indio - Guerrero area of Texas - Mexican
border after following a long trajectory through the atmosphere. by the time
a search team arrived, what remained of the object as been totally
incinerated. Such material as could be recovered was transported 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 iminent. 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".)

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
Dear Secretary Forrestal:
As per our recent conversation on this matter, you are hereby authorized to
proceed with all due speed and caution upon your undertaking. 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.
