Now that I have your attention... :-))
To All,
I hereby present the following for consideration of the format to
the proposed UFO FAQ. That is, simply, the format of posing the
the most Frequently Asked Questions that we so often see on the echoes
for the new person to Ufology, put together with the most agreed upon
answers that have been thrashed out over a period of time. Common
wisdom, if you will.
This is done in the effort to not only educate, but also to actually
make a stab at UFO literacy , and to aid in the attempt at
curing the old echo problem of endless and repetitive responses
to ageless questions....questions we've all seen and hopefully this
FAQ can address some of them. The participation of everyone on this
echo to *add* to this FAQ is -> heartily encouraged <- . This can be
great fun if we can all pitch in!!
To borrow a Perotism - We have great plans all over the place but they
never get focused or properly utilized....that also seems to apply on basic
information available to the newcomer to these UFO echoes. There's
a ton of information and it just seems to end up that we are constantly
re-inventing the wheel, so to speak, in responding to the same old
questions, day in and day out. I propose that we present a basic Q&A
"canned" file that we can post as an extropolation throughout the realm
(echo) on a regular basis much like the "Rules for the Echo" . I have
seen plenty of truly informative FAQ files on Usenet and passionately
believe it's time has come for a UFO version.
For sure, we would need to be mindful of length and packet cost and I
believe it prudent to maintain a FAQ in sections as opposed to posting
a huge whopper of a file. Topics and their possible sub-sections
on such *basics* as:
People: "Who is" - Bill Cooper, John Lear, Whitley Strieber , Budd
Hopkins, Bob Lazar , David Jacobs , Stanton Friedman , Ed Walters,
Phillip Klass, Linda Moulton Howe, Bill Moore, etc.
Events - Roswell, past and present sightings - sightings data , Westchester,
Belgium flap , UFO's in the media - commercials - print - movies ,
abductions, conferences , etc,etc..
What is/are - MJ12 docs, Area 51 , Airquakes, "Krill Docs" ,etc,etc..
---------
I further suggest that a method of labeling each section be agreed upon
possibly with an outline form in mind so as to create a framework.
I'll start this off by posting a beta module on the MJ-12 docs. While
the "oldsters" on the echo are well familiar with this topic, it's
a good start for the newbies. This FAQ is not complete by any means
and is intended to be informative rather than exhaustive on the topic.
Any suggestions welcomed!

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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR TO ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW, PLEASE CALL JIM SPEISER OR

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.

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.

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.

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
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 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".)

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.

===* UFO FAQ V1.1 - MJ-12 Docs 7/7 *======================================
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.
