Majestic 12 (The MJ-12 Documents)

In December 1984, Los Angeles producer Jaime Shandera found an anonymous roll of undeveloped film in his mailbox. Printed, it revealed a "Top Secret" briefing claiming that after the 1947 Roswell crash, President Truman had quietly convened "Majestic 12" — a panel of twelve leading scientists and military officers charged with recovering and studying a downed disc and alien bodies. The papers portrayed flying saucers as physically real and systematically concealed, pushing the idea of an official cover-up from fringe speculation into mainstream imagination. After going public in 1987, the documents became ufology's most famous — and most disputed — paperwork, their authenticity challenged from the very start.^[1]
