WHAT IS THE PHOENIX PROJECT?
|
|
|
|
The Phoenix Project is a private, civilian, research
|
|
organization formed in 1952 to investigate and correlate
|
|
information concerning Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)
|
|
and Extra-Terrestrial (ET) activities. It has no
|
|
affiliation with the United States Government or any of
|
|
its agencies. Because of the nature of its work the
|
|
Phoenix Project does not seek publicity.
|
|
|
|
Staff members are former military personnel who have
|
|
all been associated with intelligence activities, and
|
|
have knowledge of covert government operations concerning
|
|
UFO's. Their knowledge of the specialized field of
|
|
"intelligence correlation," provide unique insights into
|
|
various subject matter.
|
|
|
|
From time-to-time and in the public interest, the
|
|
Phoenix Project will publish research reports regarding
|
|
certain subjects. A list of reports is available from our
|
|
publisher. All correspondence should be addressed to:

THE ULTIMATE SECRET
|
|
|
|
A Special Report and Overview
|
|
Prepared by The Phoenix Project
|
|
|
|
OVERVIEW:
|
|
|
|
The Top Secret Operation Majestic-12 was established
|
|
by order of President Harry S. Truman in 1947. Operation
|
|
Majestic-12, was created to take charge of the technical,
|
|
sociological and other aspects of the crashed UFOs and
|
|
the small alien occupants, dead or alive, that were
|
|
recovered. In later years this operation evolved into and
|
|
became known as MAJI (the Majority Agency for Joint
|
|
Intelligence). MAGI is the most secret of all
|
|
intelligence groups and out-ranks all other intelligence
|
|
agencies including the National Security Agency (NSA) and
|
|
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). MAJI is
|
|
responsible directly and "only" to the President of the
|
|
United States.
|
|
|
|
/ MAJIC / MAJI
|
|
|
|
The TOP SECRET / MAJI project control group is
|
|
responsible for every aspect of interface with the alien
|
|
lifeforms including security and intelligence, and
|
|
disinformation to prevent public or foreign disclosure of
|
|
the alien presence. (This is why all documents referring
|
|
to "MJ-12" or any other form of that name are wrong).
|
|
MAJI is on-going in Washington DC.
|
|
|
|
MAJIC: Is the security classification of all MAJI and
|
|
Aquarius information. MAJIC means "MAJI CONTROLLED."
|
|
MAJIC is the highest security classification in the
|
|
nation.
|
|
|
|
MJ-1: DIRECTOR OF MAJI. The Director of the CIA is
|
|
usually MJ-1 and reports only to the President. Other
|
|
members of MAJI are designated MJ-2, MJ-3, MJ-4, etc.
|
|
This is the reason MJ-12 cannot be used as a name for the
|
|
control group as it would cause confusion in meaning,
|
|
i.e., (Is it referring to MJ-12 the person or MJ-12 the
|
|
group.) Any reference to MJ-12 is to a person and
|
|
nothing else. References and documents referring to
|
|
"MJ-12" as a "Group" are incorrect.
|
|
|
|
MAJI, originally was known as Majestic-12, a group
|
|
consisting of twelve members. This group was made up of
|
|
a team representing selected government officials, U.S.
|
|
intelligence personnel, highly trained scientists,
|
|
business executives and military personnel. All were
|
|
sworn to total secrecy. MAJI has continued its covert
|
|
activities with the knowledge and consent of the last
|
|
eight Presidents. (See Exhibit 1, part of the briefing
|
|
papers for president-elect Eisenhower.)
|
|
|
|
The group continues to function today and has had the
|
|
responsibility of establishing an ongoing relationship
|
|
dating from 1964, with UFO beings (the Greys) from the
|
|
third planet of the star system Zeta Reticuli.
|
|
|
|
Information forwarded to and the activity of MAJI has
|
|
always been assigned an Above "Top Secret
|
|
classification," known as MAJIC. MAJI, to conceal its
|
|
existence, adopted the cover name of "Majestic-12." It
|
|
created numerous covert and compartmented sub-divisions
|
|
such as Projects Aquarius, Sigma, Snowbird and Garnet, to
|
|
name a few. These projects were sheltered by MAJI and
|
|
directed by select personnel of the Central Intelligence
|
|
Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
|
|
|
|
By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5410, Eisenhower
|
|
had preceded NSC 5412/1 in 1954 to establish a permanent
|
|
committee to be known as Majority Twelve to oversee and
|
|
conduct all covert activities concerned with the alien
|
|
question. NSC 5412/1 was created to explain the purpose
|
|
of these meetings when Congress and the news media became
|
|
curious. Majority Twelve was made up of Nelson
|
|
Rockefeller, the director of the CIA Allen Welsh Dulles,
|
|
the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the Secretary
|
|
of Defense Charles E. Wilson, the Chairman of the Joint
|
|
Chiefs of Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, the Director
|
|
of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, and six men from the
|
|
executive committee of the Council on Foreign Relations
|
|
known as the "Wise Men." These men were all members of a
|
|
secret society of scholars that called themselves "The
|
|
Jason Society," or "The Jason Scholars" who recruited
|
|
their members from the "Skull and Bones" and the "Scroll
|
|
and Key" societies of Harvard and Yale.
|
|
|
|
The "Wise Men" were key members of the Council on
|
|
Foreign Relations. There were twelve members including
|
|
the first six from Government positions thus Majority
|
|
Twelve. This group was made up over the years of the top
|
|
officers and directors of the Council on Foreign
|
|
Relations and later the Trilateral Commission. Gordon
|
|
Dean, George Bush, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among
|
|
them. The most important and influential of the "Wise
|
|
Men" who served on Majestic-12 were John McCloy, Robert
|
|
Lovett, Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan,
|
|
and Dean Acheson. It is significant that President
|
|
Eisenhower as well as the first six Majestic-12 members
|
|
from the Government were also members of the Council on
|
|
Foreign Relations. However, not all the "Wise Men"
|
|
attended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were chosen
|
|
from the "Skull and Bones" or "Scroll and Key" membership
|
|
during their college years. [{Research indicates that
|
|
various members were chosen on an ongoing basis by
|
|
invitation based upon merit and was not confined to those
|
|
who had attended only Harvard or Yale}] Further
|
|
information regarding this can be obtained from the book
|
|
"The Wise Men" by Walter Issacson and Even Thomas, Simon
|
|
and Schuster, New York.
|
|
|
|
A chosen few were later initiated into the Jason
|
|
Society. They are all members of the Council on Foreign
|
|
Relations and at that time were known as the "Eastern
|
|
Establishment." The Jason Society is alive and well today
|
|
but has expanded to include members of the Trilateral
|
|
Commission as well. The Trilateralists' existed secretly
|
|
several years before 1973. The name of the Trilateral
|
|
Commission was taken from the alien flag known as the
|
|
"Trilateral Insignia." See Exhibit 10A The Jason
|
|
Society.

|
BACKGROUND:
|
|
|
|
In 1947 and again in the early 1950's, Army and Air
|
|
Force military units -- on direct orders from the
|
|
Pentagon -- rushed to various sites of UFO crashes
|
|
located in the Southwestern part of the United States and
|
|
carted away the unearthly remains. Remains consisting of
|
|
both crashed UFOs and their alien occupants. The 1947
|
|
events prompted the creation of Operation Majestic-12 by
|
|
President Truman.
|
|
|
|
The wreckage and dead bodies obtained from these early
|
|
crash retrievals were originally stored at Wright
|
|
Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. According to
|
|
military sources who later went against orders and
|
|
decided to talk, Hangar 18 was used for this purpose. All
|
|
reports of crashed UFOs and extraterrestrial contacts
|
|
have always bypassed normal reporting procedures and
|
|
channels of the military, and other intelligence
|
|
agencies. Instead, they were sent directly to Project
|
|
Aquarius. (See Exhibits 2 and 3).
|
|
|
|
All "hard" information regarding UFOs was routed
|
|
directly to Operation Majestic-12. This explains why
|
|
other intelligence agencies and Project Bluebook, [the
|
|
official and public Air Force investigative activity]
|
|
never received this information or knew about crashed
|
|
UFOs, recovered spacecraft, or alien beings.
|
|
|
|
In later years, a joint CIA/AF covert operation, using
|
|
six C-124 aircraft, recovered the wreckage, instruments,
|
|
dead bodies and alien artifacts of crashed UFOs from
|
|
Wright Patterson and other Air Force bases, world-wide,
|
|
and moved them to a newly-built, underground, storage
|
|
facility at Edwards Air Force, California. The entrance
|
|
to this underground facility is through a hangar located
|
|
at the end of the same runway now used by NASA's space
|
|
shuttles. According to eye-witness testimony, the CIA
|
|
agent in charge of this covert operation, wearing the
|
|
uniform of an AF Colonel, was William C. Cooper.
|
|
|
|
Note: The information in the preceding paragraph was
|
|
supplied by an eye-witness who participated in the covert
|
|
operation described, working side-by-side with the CIA
|
|
agent in charge. This witness testifies that this is the
|
|
same William C. Cooper, who has been prominent since 1988
|
|
in the civilian UFO movement.
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSIONS:
|
|
|
|
The Ultimate Secret, is that MAJI and the U.S.
|
|
government has in its possession spaceships manufactured
|
|
on other worlds, as well as the occupants of those
|
|
interstellar crafts. And, that since 1964, has maintained
|
|
radio contact with the aliens through Project Sigma. They
|
|
have also entered into various technical and "trade
|
|
agreements" with the beings from Zeta Reticuli, named the
|
|
Greys. (See Exhibit 4).
|
|
|
|
Note: Communication with the Greys (by Project Sigma)
|
|
has been an accomplished fact since April of 1964.
|
|
Therefore, the NASA sponsored "SETI" Program (The Search
|
|
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is merely being used
|
|
as another method to provide covert funding for MAJI
|
|
projects under the guise of a legitimate program. (See
|
|
Exhibit 5).
|
|
|
|
The Greys, as their part of the trade agreements, were
|
|
to provide MAJI and the U.S. government with various
|
|
forms of advanced technology. In exchange, the Greys are
|
|
provided with secret bases of operation within the United
|
|
States; bases protected by the Greys and U.S. Military
|
|
forces. In exchange, MAJI agreed to conceal all knowledge
|
|
of their presence.
|
|
|
|
Part of the "trade agreements" was an exchange program
|
|
that allowed the aliens to abduct U.S. Citizens for
|
|
experimental medical, psychological and genetic research
|
|
purposes -- the Grey's were to provide lists of persons
|
|
abducted to the National Security Agency (NSA), for later
|
|
government follow-up if such persons, when released,
|
|
required medical assistance or psychological adjustment.
|
|
|
|
ADDENDA
|
|
|
|
During 1972-1973, a period of two years, an area South
|
|
of Groom Lake (one of the nation's most secret test
|
|
centers in Nevada) was closed and a huge underground
|
|
facility was constructed for and with the help of the
|
|
Greys. This facility was built South of Area-51 in
|
|
another location named Area-S4. This location is just
|
|
east of, and adjacent to the Nevada Atomic Test site.
|
|
|
|
The bargained for technology was set in place, but
|
|
could only be operated by the Grey's themselves, to
|
|
prevent their advanced technology being used against
|
|
them. Another secret underground base was provided the
|
|
Greys in a location known as the "Ice Caves" near the Los
|
|
Alamos Laboratory Facility in New Mexico. Over a period
|
|
of the next six years, four more secret bases were
|
|
provided the Greys in other isolated areas of the United
|
|
States.
|
|
|
|
During the years 1979 through 1983, it became
|
|
increasingly obvious to MAJI that things were not going
|
|
as planned. It became known that many more people (in the
|
|
thousands) were being abducted than were being listed on
|
|
the official abduction list. The list the Greys were
|
|
supplying the National Security Council, and MAJI. It was
|
|
apparent that the abductions included much more than the
|
|
simple monitoring experiments of an advanced
|
|
civilization.
|
|
|
|
In late 1979, things had gotten almost entirely out of
|
|
hand when it became known that the Greys had implanted a
|
|
tiny probe, 3mm. in size, into the brains of certain
|
|
abductees before releasing them. MAJI investigators
|
|
determined the probe could be used to hypnotically and
|
|
telepathically program and monitor the person. In
|
|
addition, some abductees were programmed with unknown
|
|
post-hypnotic commands. The Greys also implanted tracking
|
|
devices just under the skin, on some abductees to monitor
|
|
their movements. Attempts, by hypnosis, to determine
|
|
the nature of the hypnotic programming and commands
|
|
implanted by the Greys, triggered life-threatening
|
|
physical symptoms in these individuals making these
|
|
efforts unsuccessful. It was later discovered that the
|
|
Greys were performing genetic cross-breeding experiments
|
|
on some of the human female abductees. In 1983, MAJI
|
|
discovered the full magnitude of the Grand Deception put
|
|
over by the Greys. They were also shocked when the Soviet
|
|
Union (USSR) admitted that they, too, had been deceived
|
|
and that the Greys had entered into similar Treaties and
|
|
agreements with them. MAJI was in a state of confusion
|
|
and near panic as they realized their plans were dashed,
|
|
along with their hopes and dreams of obtaining the Grey's
|
|
technology and the secrets of interstellar spaceflight.
|
|
|
|
This caused MAJI to become split along factional
|
|
lines. One faction advocating confessing the scheme and
|
|
the shambles it had become to the public, begging their
|
|
forgiveness and asking for their support. Note: This
|
|
faction is responsible for the leaks of sensitive
|
|
information regarding the activities of Operation
|
|
Majestic-12. The other faction rejected this saying there
|
|
was no way they could do that, even though the situation
|
|
was untenable, stating there was no use in alarming the
|
|
public of either country with the horrible truth.
|
|
|
|
This second faction won out and their plan to develop
|
|
a weapon that could be used against the Greys was
|
|
accepted by the Soviet Union. Under the guise of "SDI,"
|
|
(a joint US/Soviet effort) the Strategic Defense
|
|
Initiative (Star Wars), this weapon was developed. SDI,
|
|
has nothing whatever to do with a defense against Soviet
|
|
nuclear missiles. The nick-name "Star Wars" was closer to
|
|
the truth than the uninformed public realized.
|
|
|
|
The "alarm," publicly expressed by the Soviet Union
|
|
regarding SDI, and its opposition to the program, were
|
|
all artfully crafted to conceal the joint nature of the
|
|
program and to prevent the Greys learning its real
|
|
purpose. The United States and the Soviet Union have been
|
|
secret allies since 1983.
|
|
|
|
Primarily, SDI is a weapon for use against the Greys'
|
|
underground bases or any attempted invasion from space.
|
|
However, to achieve funding from Congress and support
|
|
from the people, and to conceal its real nature from the
|
|
Greys, it had to be presented as a defense against a
|
|
nuclear strike from the USSR.
|
|
|
|
The Soviet equivalent of MAJI used the same technique,
|
|
the development of a weapon to protect their country from
|
|
a U.S. nuclear strike, to obtain covert funding for the
|
|
joint effort.
|
|
|
|
The threat from the Greys is taken so seriously by
|
|
MAJI, that President Reagan adamantly refused any
|
|
concessions on SDI. He continued to vigorously pursue its
|
|
development, and deployment, in spite of uninformed
|
|
scientific and congressional opposition. These opponents
|
|
never knew its real and intended purpose.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish the true objectives of the SDI program,
|
|
MAJI created another ultra-secret project -- Project
|
|
Zeus. Project Zeus is revealed here for the first time.
|
|
|
|
Project Zeus, created under the umbrella of MAJI, is
|
|
charged with the real purpose, direction, management,
|
|
development and eventual deployment of the SDI Weapons
|
|
System. It was aptly named for the mythical Greek God --
|
|
Zeus. Only this time, it would be an angry Zeus hurling
|
|
laser and particle beam lightning bolts into the heavens
|
|
-- against an alien attack or, deflected by mirrors,
|
|
against secret alien bases on the Earth.
|
|
|
|
In 1984, President Reagan in a public address
|
|
established the tone and seriousness of this endeavor
|
|
when he deliberately, or inadvertently, let slip the
|
|
remarks that the world may one day unite to fight a
|
|
threat from outer space. This was followed by a series of
|
|
subsequent remarks during the latter days of his term of
|
|
office. (See Exhibit 7).
|
|
|
|
The basic information revealing the existence of
|
|
Operation Majestic-12, the crashed UFOs, alien beings,
|
|
and their secret bases within the United States, was
|
|
obtained through the Freedom of Information Act from the
|
|
files of the CIA, NSA, FBI, State Department, the U.S.
|
|
Air Force. Other intelligence data obtained by The
|
|
Phoenix Project has contributed to this report.
|
|
|
|
These documents reveal the "Above Top Secret" nature
|
|
of Operation Majestic-12. They also verify that the
|
|
scientific discovery of all time has been hidden from the
|
|
people of Earth, and that both communications and
|
|
relationships with extraterrestrial alien beings have
|
|
already been achieved. And, that the radical new
|
|
technology the Greys possess could alter human
|
|
civilization overnight.
|
|
|
|
Some of these documents obtained by various civilian
|
|
researchers, verify the fact that we are not alone in the
|
|
universe. The additional information contained in this
|
|
report, i.e., notes and comments, and some of the
|
|
conclusions (in the addenda) are based on intelligence
|
|
information from other confidential sources.
|
|
|
|
PROJECT ZEUS
|
|
|
|
In 1980, Lt. General Daniel O. Graham -- Department of
|
|
Defense Strategic Analyst, stated: "We need a bold new
|
|
approach. We must stop competing with the Greys in areas
|
|
where we can't win, and begin to compete where we have
|
|
the advantage."
|
|
|
|
The result: A book by General Graham entitled "The
|
|
High Frontier," and the National Security Agency (NSA)
|
|
funded "Project High Frontier." This project used some of
|
|
the nation's best engineers and development scientists.
|
|
|
|
This book and the project were the "red herring"
|
|
technique to sell the concept and proposal to Congress,
|
|
scientists, and the defense and aerospace industries. It,
|
|
supposedly, was a bold, new, defense plan for the United
|
|
States and Western Civilization.
|
|
|
|
This was followed by another book "The Strategy of
|
|
Technology" by Stefan Possony and Jerry Pournelle. It
|
|
should be mentioned that neither of these two authors
|
|
dreamed their book would be used to further promote the
|
|
purposes of MAJI and Project Zeus. Its concept was to
|
|
abandon the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD),
|
|
in favor of Assured Survival, in any conflict with the
|
|
USSR.
|
|
|
|
The foregoing concepts (a Western Civilization Defense
|
|
Plan) and the covert efforts directed against the Greys
|
|
(Project Zeus) orchestrated by MAJI, were presented to
|
|
President Ronald Reagan. That presentation was
|
|
successful. On March 23, 1983, President Reagan made his
|
|
famous "Star Wars" speech -- and labeled it "The
|
|
Strategic Defense Initiative." Only in later speeches,
|
|
near the end of his term in office, did President Reagan
|
|
publicly mention the possibility of a hostile encounter
|
|
with extraterrestrials.
|
|
|
|
The importance of this endeavor and the serious nature
|
|
of the threat presented by the Greys and the consequences
|
|
if Project Zeus were aborted, explain why the President
|
|
would not budge from his SDI position, even in the most
|
|
critical of nuclear arms' reduction negotiations with the
|
|
USSR, or critics in the scientific community and
|
|
Congress.
|
|
|
|
It also explains why President George Bush, still the
|
|
head of MAJI, is continuing to press forward with the SDI
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
According to public statements by General James
|
|
Abrahamson, SDI Project Director, "SDI" research has
|
|
turned up five ways the weapon system could, and would
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
"SDI," (Project Zeus, the covert operation against any
|
|
possible space threat, threatening action or invasion
|
|
attempts by the Greys), "is based on two technological
|

"1) That ground-based lasers are a feasible and a
|
|
likely way to defend a nation. Enormous lasers could be
|
|
built near large hydro-electric plants and operational
|
|
nuclear power plants, diverting the enormous output of
|
|
these sources to laser weapons. With such enormous lasers
|
|
and mirrors, in orbit to redirect the energy, it would
|
|
not be necessary to "point and shoot" such weapons; you
|
|
could raster an entire target area; sweeping the beam in
|
|
a deadly conical pattern to eliminate any target.
|
|
Planet-based laser weapons of such power could reach
|
|
beyond the Moon to engage and destroy hostile spaceships.
|
|
|
|
"2) Press ahead with the research, development and
|
|
deployment of high-powered particle beam weapons from
|
|
orbiting space platforms and ground based installations."

|
MAJI's plans called for the funding, planning,
|
|
development, testing, and operational aspects of Project
|
|
Zeus to be concealed within the compartmented SDI
|
|
program. NASA, without knowledge of the real purpose
|
|
would orbit the necessary tracking and data relay
|
|
satellites, and Department of Defense (DOD) payloads of
|
|
laser mirrors. These SDI payloads were disguised and
|
|
classified as military communication, spy, and
|
|
navigational satellites.

|
|
On April 4, 1983, Project Zeus "got off the ground"
|
|
with the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger --
|
|
a clear indication of the high-priority this project
|
|
commanded. The first of the SDI Tracking and Data Relay
|
|
Satellites (TDRS-A) was placed in orbit.
|
|
|
|
This was followed on August 30, 1984, when the Shuttle
|
|
Discovery, on its maiden flight, launched SYNCOM IV-2 the
|
|
second communications satellite for the Department of
|
|
Defense (DOD).
|
|
|
|
The SYNCOM satellites are DOD's high-priority command
|
|
and communications links with all U.S. military forces
|
|
worldwide. The on-going NASA Missions concerned with
|
|
Project Zeus and SDI, are identified in the attached
|
|
exhibits.
|
|
|
|
Note: It is obvious that the Greys became suspicious
|
|
of the intense launch activity of NASA and the number of
|
|
Defense Department (DOD) payloads being placed in orbit
|
|
-- more than would logically be needed to counter a
|
|
nuclear strike by the USSR.
|
|
|
|
Evidence to support this is their increasing
|
|
surveillance of the Space Shuttle missions and the
|
|
reported intercept, boarding, and inspection of the
|
|
Shuttle Discovery's cargo on 3/13/89. (See Exhibit 9).
|
|
They must suspect the real purpose of the SDI program. If
|
|
future SDI or DOD missions are interfered with it will
|
|
confirm this premise.

ABSTRACT:
|
|
|
|
Operation Majestic-12 -- was created by the executive
|
|
order of President Truman on September 24, 1947, and its
|
|
first head was Dr. Vannevar Bush, the president's Chief
|
|
Science Advisor. The current head of Majestic-12 known
|
|
variously as Majority Twelve, Majority, MJ-12, Majority
|
|
Agency for Joint Intelligence (MAJI), was Vice President
|
|
and former CIA Director George Bush (1988). As of 1/8/89,
|
|
President George Bush. Today, this group operates under
|
|
the "public name" of the Senior Interagency Group (SIG).
|
|
|
|
The organizational structure of MAJI, is as follows:
|
|
|
|
GRUDGE/PROJECT AQUARIUS: An umbrella group consisting
|
|
of MAJI, the CIA and the NSA in which all the various
|
|
compartments dealing with ET-related issues perform their
|
|
various functions. Under Project Aquarius four groups,
|
|
each consisting of several hundred persons, conducts
|
|
secret UFO investigations and research in four assigned
|
|
areas of the United States. (See Exhibit 6)
|
|
|
|
Separate projects under the umbrella of Project
|
|
Aquarius are:
|
|
|
|
PROJECT GRUDGE: This project was originally
|
|
established in 1953, by order of President Eisenhower and
|
|
is under the control of the CIA, NSA, and MAJI. Project
|
|
Grudge went underground and another project, Project
|
|
Sign, was established as a cover operation.
|
|
|
|
In 1960, the Project's name was changed from Project
|
|
SIGN to Project Bluebook. Project Aquarius, became the
|
|
overall umbrella operation controlling all these
|
|
projects. Project Aquarius was funded by CIA confidential
|
|
funds (non-appropriated). The Project assumed full
|
|
responsibility for investigation and intelligence of
|
|
UFOs/IACs in December 1969 after Project Grudge/Blue Book
|
|
was closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius was to
|
|
collect all scientific, technological, medical and
|
|
intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and
|
|
contacts with alien lifeforms. This orderly file of
|
|
collected information has been used to advance the United
|
|
States' Space Program and provided the data needed to
|
|
develop present stealth technology.
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT PLATO: Originally established as
|
|
part of Project SIGN in 1954 to establish diplomatic
|
|
relations with the Aliens. This Project was successful
|
|
when mutually acceptable terms were agreed upon. These
|
|
terms involved the exchange of technology for secrecy of
|
|
the Alien presence and non-interference in Alien affairs.
|
|
This Project is controlled by a secret task force
|
|
headquartered at the Los Alamos National Laboratories in
|
|
New Mexico and is ongoing.
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT SIGMA: Conducts electronic
|
|
communications with extraterrestrials, part of an
|
|
on-going contact project run by and through the NSA since
|
|
as early as late 1963 which led to the Holloman AFB
|
|
incident of April 25, 1964. (See Exhibit 4).
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT GARNET: Closed down, supposedly, on
|
|
completion of its studies. Project Garnet's purpose was
|
|
to investigate extraterrestrial influence on human
|
|
affairs and evolution.
|
|
|
|
GRUDGE - AQUARIUS; PROJECT REDLIGHT: Originally
|
|
established in 1954, the mission of Project Redlight was
|
|
to test fly recovered alien craft. This project, carried
|
|
out at Area 51 (Groom Lake) and Area S4 in Nevada was
|
|
postponed after every attempt resulted in destruction of
|
|
the craft and the death of the pilots. Project Redlight
|
|
was resumed in 1972 and has since been partially
|
|
successful. UFO sightings of craft accompanied by black
|
|
helicopters are Project Redlight's assets. This project
|
|
is ongoing at Area 51 in Nevada.
|
|
|
|
REDLIGHT; PROJECT SNOWBIRD: Originally established in
|
|
1954. Its mission was to develop [using conventional
|
|
technology] and fly a flying saucer type craft for the
|
|
public. This project was successful when a craft was
|
|
built and flown in front of the press. This project was
|
|
used to explain UFO sightings and to divert public
|
|
attention from Project Redlight.
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT PLUTO: Established to evaluate all
|
|
UFO/IAC information pertaining to the alien space
|
|
visitors. This project is ongoing. Pluto is the proword
|
|
for Pounce.
|
|
|
|
PLUTO; PROJECT POUNCE: Originally known as Project
|
|
Moondust, this project, was formed to recover all
|
|
downed/crashed craft and aliens and provided cover
|
|
stories and operations to mask the true endeavor when
|
|
necessary. Covers which have been used: crashed
|
|
experimental aircraft, construction, mining, etc. This
|
|
project has also been successful and continues to this
|
|
date.
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT GABRIEL: This project was tasked
|
|
with developing a low frequency pulsed sound generator
|
|
when it was determined that the alien weapons and craft
|
|
would be vulnerable to this weapon. It is questionable
|
|
whether this project exists today. It was derived from
|
|
technology captured from Germany during and after WWII.
|
|
Intelligence sources have verified its previous existence
|
|
but cannot verify whether it is ongoing or has been
|
|
terminated.
|
|
|
|
AQUARIUS; PROJECT EXCALIBUR: Established to develop
|
|
a weapon which would destroy the alien underground bases
|
|
and any future underground bases which the aliens might
|
|
construct. It is to be a missile capable of penetrating
|
|
1000 meters of tufa/hard packed soil such as that found
|
|
in New Mexico with no operational damage. Missile apogee
|
|
is not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL. Impact must not deviate
|
|
in excess of 50 meters from a designated target. The
|
|
device is designed to carry a 1-megaton nuclear warhead.
|
|
This project is ongoing at the WX Division, LANL, Los
|
|
Alamos, New Mexico but is still in development.
|
|
|
|
In a secured area of the basement of CIA Headquarters
|
|
in Langley, Virginia are sixteen columns of file cabinets
|
|
containing thousands of folders of documented information
|
|
collected from the beginning of the United States'
|
|
investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and
|
|
Identified Alien Crafts (IAC). These are the files of
|
|
Operation Majestic-12 and Project Aquarius and are known
|
|
as "The Bible." This Bible contains all the various
|
|
reports on aspects of alien visitations. Each president,
|
|
since Truman, has been briefed on Operation Majestic-12.

|
|
|
|
The existence of Operation Majestic-12 has been
|
|
revealed by the dissident element within Majority Twelve
|
|
and leaked to the public on at least three occasions:
|
|
|
|
1) On April, 9, 1983 -- To independent television
|
|
documentary producer Linda Howe. Ms. Howe was under
|
|
contract with HBO (the cable TV network) to produce a
|
|
documentary entitled "UFOs -- The ET Factor." On the
|
|
above date, Ms. Howe was shown a document regarding
|
|
Majestic-12, by an Air Force officer. It was entitled "A
|
|
Briefing Paper for the President of the United States of
|
|
America on the Subject of Unidentified Flying Vehicles."
|
|
The name "Majic" was prominent at the head of the
|
|
document. (See Exhibit 1)
|
|
|
|
Note: Former Agent Richard Doty, Air Force Office of
|
|
Special Investigations, is the officer mentioned in the
|
|
above paragraph.
|
|
|
|
In December 1984, via the mail, in a plain brown
|
|
envelope, to private UFO investigator Bill Moore and his
|
|
film producer friend, and associate, Mr. Jaime Shandera.
|
|
Mr. Bill Moore is a well known private UFO investigator,
|
|
and is co-author, with Charles Berlitz, of the book "The
|
|
Roswell Incident." Unknown to the public is the fact
|
|
that Bill Moore was recruited as an agent of the CIA.
|
|
|
|
The envelope contained an undeveloped roll of 35mm
|
|
film. When the film was processed it contained a
|
|
photograph of a briefing paper prepared for
|
|
President-elect Eisenhower, and other documents. The
|
|
first page of the document is reproduced and shown as
|
|
Exhibit A. Other sections of the document contained
|
|
information regarding details of crashed UFOs and
|
|
humanoid bodies, and information regarding the
|
|
ultra-secret Operation Majestic-12 group which deals with
|
|
these issues.
|
|
|
|
3) On May 31, 1987, when the existence of an
|
|
ultra-secret U.S. UFO Project -- "Majestic," was
|
|
published on the front page of the London Observer, a
|
|
British newspaper. British writer Timothy Good, had
|
|
obtained the information through sources connected with
|
|
England's Ministry of Defense. In 1988, it was alleged
|
|
that Bill Moore had become an agent of Operation
|
|
Majestic-12 and had been "planted" in the civilian UFO
|
|
movement for the purpose of providing dis-information to
|
|
mis-guide and confuse other UFO researchers.

The TDRS-C satellite was lifted to its 22,302 mile
|
|
orbit by an AF IUS rocket, after being deployed by the
|
|
shuttle, for positioning over the equator north of the
|
|
Phoenix Islands, south of Hawaii, in the Pacific Ocean
|
|
(171 Degrees west longitude). There the satellite can
|
|
work in tandem with an identical TDRS-1 positioned in
|
|
geosynchronous orbit in 1983 over the Atlantic Ocean near
|
|
Fortaleza, Brazil (41 degrees west longitude). These two
|
|
satellites can act as data relays for other satellites.
|
|
|
|
TDRS-C will maintain nearly uninterrupted
|
|
communications with the ground and will rapidly transmit
|
|
huge volumes of data.
|
|
|
|
So vast is the capacity of these two satellites that,
|
|
at their highest transmission rates, they can in a single
|
|
second transfer data equaling the contents of a 20-volume
|
|
encyclopedia with 1200 pages in each volume and 2000
|
|
words on each page.
|
|
|
|
A third Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-D,
|
|
will be launched at a later date and deployed over the
|
|
Atlantic Ocean. It will replace TDRS-1, which will be
|
|
relocated south of White Sands, New Mexico where it will
|
|
serve as an in-orbit spare.
|
|
|
|
One communications experiment inside the shuttle
|
|
spacecraft was the testing of a new voice communications
|
|
system using infrared waves rather than standard radio
|
|
frequencies. An advantage of infrared is it cannot pass
|
|
through the spacecraft's windows as can radio waves.
|
|
Infrared communications would prevent a spacecraft from
|
|
eavesdropping, thus protecting sensitive astronaut
|
|
conversations, and enhancing security, and the crew's
|
|
privacy.
|
|
|
|
Note: This extraordinary procedure must pertain to the
|
|
Greys. Note the word "spacecraft." Whose? Earlier NASA
|
|
Missions had reported UFO encounters. The Greys are
|
|
suspicious.

NASA Facts, KSC Release No. 8-89
|
|
|
|
The Space Shuttle Discovery launched at 9:57 a.m. EST
|
|
today has as its primary objective the deployment of a
|
|
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-D).
|
|
|
|
The TDRS-D, to become TDRS-4 in orbit, will be
|
|
deployed on the first day of the mission. The satellite
|
|
will join TDRS-1 and -3 in orbit to provide high-capacity
|
|
communications and data links.
|
|
|
|
TDRS-1, also designated TDRS-East, is now in
|
|
geosynchronous orbit over the Atlantic Ocean just east of
|
|
Brazil. TDRS-3, designated TDRS-West, was launched by
|
|
Discovery on mission STS-26 in September of 1988, and is
|
|
positioned over the Pacific Ocean south of Hawaii. TDRS-4
|
|
will replace TDRS-1 over the Atlantic as TDRS-East.
|
|
TDRS-1 will then be relocated south of White Sands, New
|
|
Mexico where it will serve as an in-orbit spare.
|
|
|
|
The five member crew of Discovery for STS-29 are:
|
|
|
|
Commander: Michael L. Coats (Capt. USN)

AP Wire:
|
|
|
|
The Atlantis commander says his crew is mighty proud
|
|
to be part of the first space shuttle planetary mission
|
|
scheduled to blast-off this Friday. The countdown, which
|
|
started Tuesday, continued toward a liftoff at 2:24 p.m.
|
|
Friday.
|
|
|
|
Six hours after launch, astronauts Mark Lee and Mary
|
|
Cleave are to release the 7,600-pound Magellan probe and
|
|
a rocket to propel it on a 468-day journey to Venus.
|
|
Magellan is to reach its destination in August 1990,
|
|
swooping into orbit around Venus to begin a 243-day
|
|
period during which it is to map up to 90 percent of the
|
|
cloud-shrouded planet's surface with the probe's high
|
|
resolution radar system.
|
|
|
|
"We're not really in charge of the deep space probe,"
|
|
said Commander David Walker. "We're fortunate enough to
|
|
be part of the team that gets to send it up there. The
|
|
rest of the NASA team will make sure that it gets to
|
|
Venus and does its job."
|
|
|
|
UPDATE: NASA, KSC Release # 24-89, March 1989
|
|
|
|
Magellan marks the first U.S. planetary mission since
|
|
Pioneer Venus 12 in 1978. It also kicks off a core
|
|
program of solar system exploration involving NASA and
|
|
organizations from the United States and the
|
|
international community.
|
|
|
|
Project ZEUS: One of the payload experiments on this
|
|
Shuttle Mission includes the Mesoscale Lighting
|
|
Experiment, a NASA sponsored effort involving several
|
|
universities. Its objective is to study the visual
|
|
characteristics of large scale lighting in the upper
|
|
atmosphere.
|
|
|
|
Note: Part of the Project Zeus effort to study laser
|
|
beam diffusion in the upper atmosphere.
|
|
|
|
In addition, as another experiment, the Shuttle
|
|
Atlantis will act as a calibration point for a third
|
|
experiment involving the Air Force Maui Optical System
|
|
Facility in Hawaii.
|
|
|
|
Note: Project Zeus - SDI Experiment.
|
|
|
