FBI Majestic 12 file (mirror)

The Black Vault · 25 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This FBI file, mirrored by The Black Vault, collects Bureau records on the Majestic 12 document. It opens with a Dallas communication from 1988 about local publicity and a 1952 briefing paper for President-elect Eisenhower that claims a crashed disc and four bodies were recovered near Roswell. The file also holds a later FBIHQ teletype and a 1991 Salt Lake City airtel. The FBI teletype reports that Air Force OSI called the document fabricated and "completely bogus" and orders Dallas to close the case.
