SUBJECT: OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 PRELIMINARY 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 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOP SECRET / MAJIC _EYES ONLY_ EYES ONLY T52-EXEMPT (E) 002------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP SECRET / MAJIC 003 EYES ONLY * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *_EYES ONLY_ COPY _ONE_ OF _ONE_On 24 June, 1947, a civilian pilot flying over the CascadeMountains in the State of Washington observed nine flyingdisc-shaped aircraft traveling in formation at a high rateof speed. Although this was not the first known sightingof such objects, it was the first to gain widespread attentionin the public media. Hundreds of reports of sightings of similar objects followed. Many of these came from highlycredible military and civilian sources. These reports res-ulted in independent efforts by several different elementsof the military to ascertain the nature and purpose of theseobjects in the interests of national defense. A number ofwitnesses were interviewed and there were several unsuccessfulattempts to utilize aircraft in efforts to pursue reporteddiscs in flight. Public reaction bordered on near hysteriaat 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 assurerecovery 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOP SECRET / [BLANKED] _EYES ONLY_ T52-EXEMPT (E) EYES ONLY 003------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T O P S E C R E T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONEA 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. ****************** * TOP SECRET * ******************EYES ONLY TOP SECRET / MAJIC T-52 EXEMPT (E) EYES ONLY 004------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP SECRET / MAJIC EYES ONLY ****************** * TOP SECRET * ******************EYES ONLY COPY ONE OF ONEA 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 trasnported 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.
