The Majestic 12 Document — USA
Majestic 12, also known as Majic-12, and MJ-12 for short, is a purported organization that appeared in 1984, and that some UFO conspiracy theories still claim to have existed. The organization is claimed to be the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft.
COMETA Report — France
The COMETA report is an unofficial 1999 report published by the French association COMETA (Comité d'Études Approfondies — Committee for In-Depth Studies) on unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP), commonly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The report was titled UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare For? and an archive was made public in 2007 by GEIPAN, the French unit responsible for researching and investigating unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAPs).
The Cutler/Twining Memo — USA
The Cutler/Twining memo is a one-page memorandum dated April 18, 1954, on National Security Council letterhead, bearing the signature of Robert Cutler (President Eisenhower's Special Assistant for National Security Affairs) to General Nathan F. Twining, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It refers to a briefing on the "MJ-12 Special Studies Project" and a subsequent meeting in July 1954 — language that, if authentic, would corroborate the Majestic 12 documents.
The memo surfaced in 1985, when researchers Jaime Shandera and William Moore located it in a box of declassified records at the U.S. National Archives, guided by anonymous tips. Skeptics point out that the box was suggested by the very people promoting the papers, and archive researchers have never confirmed the memo was found there through independent channels. Its authenticity remains one of the central open questions of the MJ-12 controversy.
