AudioBlog The MJ 12 Documents

In the midst of the excitement created by the publication in 1980
of The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William
Moore, a set of documents reportedly came into Moore’s possession
that seemed to support the story of a flying saucer recovery near
Roswell and a secret government body, Majestic 12, that handled
such things. These became known to UFO researchers and later, the
general public. They consist of eight pages, seven of which are
seemingly a briefing document for President Eisenhower, and an
additional page, which is a letter dated September 24, 1947, from
President Harry Truman to Secretary of Defense James Forrestal
authorizing the creation of Majestic 12. The subject of the
briefing document is “Operation Majestic Twelve,” and the
collection of pages is often referred to as “The MJ-12 Documents.”

documents had been forged. Barry Greenwood and Brad Sparks came to
the conclusion that they had, as did the FBI, which has made copies
available on their website with “BOGUS” written across
every page. The questions we’ll look at in this blog are who might
have forged them and why. Read more
