Description
This is the result of nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman's 11-year search for the truth about the mysterious Operation Majestic 12, classified Top Secret/MAJIC. Some of the most startling of these documents are published here for the 1st time. They tell the incredible tale of the 7/47 recovery of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, NM & the establishment by President Truman of a truly all-star cast (Majestic-12) to deal with the saucer & its nonhuman inhabitants.--Library Journal
Friedman, nuclear physicist, noted UFOlogist (Crash at The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident, '94), examines the documentary evidence for the existence of clandestine government group Majestic-12 (aka MJ-12 or Majic), formed in '47 to deal with the remains of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, NM. The government has consistently denied there ever was such an incident or group. Friedman attempts to authenticate purported MJ-12 documents that mysteriously appeared in '84 & '94. He also refutes arguments by debunkers like Carl Sagan & Phillip Klass & criticizes the findings in Kevin D. Randle & Donald R. Schmitt's recent The Truth About the UFO Crash in Roswell (LJ 6/1/94). Included here for the 1st time is part of a '84 "Special Operations Manual" for the recovery & disposal of extraterrestrial entities & technology. If authenticated, it would lend credence to his belief in a governmental cover-up he terms a "cosmic Watergate." While this book is speculative to some degree, he operates mostly as a scientist, carefully weighing all evidence before coming to a conclusion. Recommended for public & academic libraries.--Gary D.
