Dear Mr. Edwards:
|
|
|
|
Your letter of January 17, 1990, addressed to the Attorney General concerning
|
|
a document referred to as "Majestic-12" has been referred to this office for
|
|
reply.
|
|
|
|
The U.S. Air Force has retired to our custody its records on Project Blue Book
|
|
relating to the investigations of unidentified flying objects. Project Blue
|
|
Book has been declassified and the records are avialable for examination in our
|
|
research room. The project closed in 1969 and we have no information on sight-
|
|
ings after that date.
|
|
|
|
Enclosed is a description of the records in our custody relating to Project
|
|
Blue Book, a bibliography on unidentified flying objects, and a U.S. Air Force
|
|
fact sheet on "UFOs & Project Blue Book."
|
|
|
|
The National Archives has received numerous inquiries concerning documents
|
|
identified as "MJ12" and "Briefing Document: Operation Majestic 12." We have
|
|
made extensive searches among the records in our custody of the U.S. Air Force
|
|
and Joint Chiefs of Staff to identify these documents. The Truman and Eisenhow-
|
|
er Libraries have also searched their holdings for any references to, or copies
|
|
of, the documents. In addition, the records of the National Security Council
|
|
(NSC) for the Truman and Eisenhower Administrations are in the custody of the
|
|
National Archives. A search was made of the indexes to the NSC's Policy Paper
|
|
and Meeting Minute Files under the subjects MJ-12, majestic, unidentified fly-
|
|
ing objects, UFO, flying saucers, extraterrestrial biological entities and A-
|
|
quarius. These searches were all negative with the exception of a "Memorandum
|
|
for General Twining, from Robert Cutler, Special Assistant to the President,
|
|
Subjects: "NSC/MJ-12 Special Studies Project" dated July 14, 1954. The memor-
|
|
andum, one page, refers to a briefing to take place on July 16. The memorandum
|
|
does not identify MJ-12 or the purpose of the briefing.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
