Majestic 12
Majestic 12 was never officially acknowledged—yet its paper trail refuses to disappear.
Majestic 12, often abbreviated as MJ-12, refers to an alleged secret committee said to have been formed in the late 1940s to oversee investigations into unidentified flying objects following the Roswell incident. The story emerged publicly in the 1980s when documents surfaced claiming MJ-12 operated under executive authority and included senior military, scientific, and intelligence officials. While the U.S. government later stated these documents were not authentic, declassified FBI memoranda confirm that the materials were reviewed, analyzed, and discussed internally—indicating they were taken seriously enough to warrant investigation. Whether Majestic 12 represents a real classified oversight group, a Cold War disinformation effort, or a mix of both remains unresolved, but its continued presence in declassified records underscores the enduring secrecy surrounding early UFO investigations.
