Category:Majestic 12

From KB42

This category contains all known records, documents, and related entries pertaining to Majestic 12 (also styled MJ-12 or Majic-12), a purported secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials alleged to have been formed in 1947 by executive order of President Harry S. Truman to investigate and manage the recovery and analysis of unidentified flying objects and their occupants.

The documents catalogued here span the period 1942 to 1999 and are organized by era. They include presidential memoranda, military field orders, intelligence assessments, annual project reports, a special operations manual, and whistleblower correspondence. Their authenticity is disputed: the FBI declared the core documents "completely bogus" in 1988, while researchers such as Stanton T. Friedman and Dr. Robert M. Wood have argued for varying degrees of authenticity for individual documents.

All entries are documented here for historical, archival, and research purposes. No assertion of authenticity is implied by inclusion.
