From: SAC
Strategic Air
Command, Dallas
This communication is classified secret in its entirety.
Enclosed for the Bureau is an envolope which contains a possible classified document.
On Sept 15, 1988, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Office Of Special Investigations (OSI),
Special Agent *named blacked out* contacted the Dallas FBI with the enclosed
document. *stuffed blacked out* received the document from *alot of black out*
claims that an individual at the school, whom he refuses to name, gave it to him,
claiming he received it in the mail.
Page 3:
Dallas notes that within the last six weeks, there has been local publicity regarding
"OPERATION MAJESTIC-12" with at least two appearances on a local radio talk show,
discussing the MAJESTIC-12 OPERATION, and the people involved, and the Govt's attempt
to keep it secret. It is unknown if this is part of the publicity campaign.
*blacked out* from OSI, advises that "Operation Blue Book," mentioned in the document
on page 4 did exist.
Dallas realizes that the purported document is over 35 years old, but does not know
if it had been properly declassified.
REQUEST OF THE BUREAU
The Bureau is requested to discern if the document is still classified. Dallas will
hod any investigation in abeyance until further direction from FBIHQ.

Subject: OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 Preliminary Briefing
President Eisenhower.
November 1952... yada yada.
At this point it actually names the 12 members of Majestic-12..
At the bottom it's noted that one member (Sec. Forrestal) died in May 1949 and was
eventually replaced by Gen. Walter Smith in Aug of 1950.
Page 5:
Says the Kenneth Arnold sighting on June 24, 1947 drove people to the edge of
hysteria.
The page goes onto talk about the Roswell and how one of these saucers crashed and
the response the news reporters were given is a "misguided weather research balloon,"
when really it was aliens.
The word BOGUS is written in huge letters across this whole page.
Page 6:
continues about the crash in Roswell...
Two of the MAJESTIC-12 members (acting on presidential orders) analyzed the data,
coming to the conclusion the disc was most like an ET scout craft. One MJ-12 member
suggests calling the aliens "Extra-terrestrial Biological Entities" or "EBEs."
The analysis continues stating their unearthly origin is virtually certain. There
was speculation they might be from Mars, but
Donald Menzel believes they are
from another solar system.
Also this page notes some difficulties with deciphering what's left of the alien
craft. The absence of wings, jets, wiring, electronic equipment is baffling.
Again the word BOGUS is written in huge letters across this whole page.
Page 7:
A need for additional information about these craft is sought which leads to PROJECT
SIGN in december 1947. For security only 2 members of MAJESTIC-12 can contact SIGN.

From: Director FBI
TO: FBI DALLAS ROUTINE
Just the Director informing Dallas that OSI & USAF advised that the document was
fabricated. Therefore it's advised Dallas to close investigation.

This communication is classified
confidential in its entirety.
Re Secure telcalls between SSA *blacked out* Salt Lake City, and SSA *Blacked out*
FBIHQ, on 10/25/91, and 10/30/91.
Enclosed for FBIHQ is the below mentioned 9-page document dated 11/18/52.
Request of the Bureau:
Pursuant to instructions relayed from DAD H.B. BRANDON III via refereenced secure
telcall on 10/30/91, INTD, Section CI-2 should attempt to determine any DOD interest
in the enclosed document.
Page 12:
At 12:10 pm on 10/18/91, an individual identifying himself as *blacked out*
telephonically contacted the Salt Lake Division and spoke with the duty Agent....
yada yada he told him he found a document at his place of employment which seemingly
contains sensitive contents... *Rest of page is blacked out* ...ok not quite.
Last paragraph says the FBI field office in Salk Lake City thought it as a
hoax but to be sure are sending a synopsis to see if the DOD has any interest
in "OPERATION MAJESTIC-12", USAF "PROJECT SIGN" or "PROJECT GRUDGE."
Page 13:
Not much here. Based on DAD BRANDON instructions and DOD comments they decided to
submit info to the DOD to determine interest level.
