FBI file: Majestic 12, Majestic 12 Part 01

Federal Bureau of Investigation · 24 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This FBI file on Majestic 12 collects Bureau correspondence from 1988 to 1991 about copies of the alleged 18 November 1952 MJ-12 briefing for President-elect Eisenhower. The Dallas office asked whether the document was still classified. FBI headquarters replied that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations called it fabricated and completely bogus, and told Dallas to close the case. In 1991 Salt Lake City sent in another copy that had been found on a lobby floor, and the FBI asked OSI to identify who created it.
