Background
According to longstanding UFO conspiracy theories, President Harry S. Truman established a secret committee designated Majestic-12 in 1947 through an executive order. The alleged purpose of this group was to investigate unidentified flying object activity following the reported crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle near Roswell, New Mexico. The committee supposedly comprised leading scientists, military officials, and government administrators including Vannevar Bush and James Forrestal. While no official government documents confirm its existence, the MJ-12 narrative remains central to theories about government UFO cover-ups. The FBI has investigated alleged MJ-12 documents and concluded they were fraudulent, though the mythos persists in ufology. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
