SUBJECT: FBI SAY MJ-12 PAPER BOGUS FILE: UFO2129
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
27-AUGUST-1993 Seattle, Washington, USA
|
||
|
|
||
|
Recently, a case was presented in the popular UFO press, (UFO Magazine,
|
||
|
Sunland CA), in which the US Air Force stated that the "MJ-12 Presidential
|
||
|
Briefing Paper", was "bogus" in reply to an Freedom of Information Act request
|
||
|
(FOIA).
|
||
|
|
||
|
This file contains reproductions of all documents received from the FBI in
|
||
|
response to our FOIA requests about investigations into the release of the
|
||
|
supposedly highly classified "MJ-12" paper. In short, the FBI now says that
|
||
|
the "MJ-12" paper is "bogus" too.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The events described in these documents are most interesting. Please note the
|
||
|
role of Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI): An AFOSI Special
|
||
|
Agent approaches the Dallas FBI office with a copy of the MJ-12 paper, asking
|
||
|
the FBI to determine the authenticity of the document. FBI Dallas asks FBI
|
||
|
Headquarters, (FBIHQ), Washington DC, what to do. FBIHQ asks AFOSI
|
||
|
Heaquarters, Washington DC, and is told that the document is "fabricated", and
|
||
|
"completely bogus". FBIHQ "advises" Dallas FBI to close the investigation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Apparently no FBI investigation was undertaken!?

Dallas notes that within the last six weeks, there
|

has been local publicity regarding "OPERATION MAJESTIC-12"
|
||
|
with at least two appearances on a local radio talk show,
|
||

discussing the MAJESTIC-12 OPERATION, the individuals involved,

b7c per OSI [ ] from OSI, advises that "OPERATION BLUE BOOK,"
|

mentioned in the document on page 4 did exist.
|

|
|

Dallas realizes that the purported document is over

The Bureau is requested to discern if the document
