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.

## EYES ONLY

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, liaison between SIGN and Majestic-12 was limited to two individuals within the Intelligence Division of Air Material Command whose roles 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 liaison maintained through the Air Force office 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 inoinerated. Such material as could be recovered was transported to the A.B.C. facility at Sandia, New Mexico, for study.

Implications for the National security are of continuing importance in that the motives and purposes intentions of these visitors remain completely unknown. In addition, a significant unurge 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 consider public public safety costs, that the Majestic-12 Group holds of the unanimous opinion that imposition of the civilian 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".)
