The Russians had apparently seeded stories to British and U.S. Intelligence, suggesting that in the 1950s and 1960s a number of atomic bombs were smuggled into the United States and were to be detonated in major cities.

Understandably, the documents have been the subject of much controversy and comment with some researchers believing them to be the real thing while others cry hoax and/or disinformation. Further MJ-12 documents surfaced in the 1990s from a researcher named Tim Cooper. They were most remarkable for the impressive number of spelling errors they contained. All of which brings us to the latest MJ-12 collection, which surfaced anonymously in 2017.
The new documents, which run to twenty-four pages, were recently provided to Heather Wade of the Midnight in the Desert radio show. I have been on Heather’s show several times now and I like her, and when she says that she got the documents from what is described as “a trusted source,” I believe her, but we don’t know who Heather’s source is nor do we know how—and under what circumstances—that same source got the documents. Undoubtedly, however, these are not the real thing.
After the documents surfaced, a few people contacted me suggesting that the documents (which are allegedly Defense Intelligence Agency papers that detail the story of MJ-12) were created by disinformation specialists to deflect people away from the highly controversial “human experiment”/“guinea pig” angle of Roswell as detailed in my recently published book The Roswell UFO Conspiracy. Well, it’s a nice theory, but it has a massive flaw, namely, that real disinformation experts would have done a much better job. Let’s take a look at just some of the problems with the documents.
First, the papers are littered with grammatical errors. One page, for example, states that MJ-12 is “a Above Top Secret Research and Development/Intelligence operation.” It should, of course, read “an Above Top Secret.…” You might think I’m nitpicking, but I’m not. As another example, “cannot” appears as “can not.” I could go on. Typically, you don’t see that in government records.
Then is the matter of the controversial, alleged UFO crash at Aztec, New Mexico, in March 1948. I’m not here to debate the dubious merits surrounding the Aztec affair but something else. The new MJ-12 documents contain a substantial amount of data on the alleged recovery at Hart Canyon, Aztec, of the UFO and its crew, but here’s the problem: the original MJ-12 documents that surfaced publicly for the first time in Tim Good’s book, Above Top Secret, specifically state that after Roswell, “a second object, probably of similar origin” came down in the “El Indio–Guerrero area of the Texas–Mexico border” in December 1950.
It’s very important to note the December 1950 date and that word “second,” and here’s why it’s so important: The alleged 1952 MJ-12 briefing for President-elect Eisenhower states that Roswell was the first crash (in 1947) and that the Texas–Mexico event (in 1950) was the second, yet in the new files, we’re told that MJ-12 had recovered another UFO—the one reportedly found at Aztec, New Mexico, in March 1948. In other words, Aztec was sandwiched between Roswell and El Indio–Guerrero, but no mention is made of Aztec in the documents published by Tim Good. Are/were the members of MJ- 12 such numbskulls that they couldn’t even agree on how many UFOs came down, when they came down, and how many they had stored away?
This was (so the unlikely tale goes) a briefing for the president-elect! Not telling Eisenhower about the Aztec event makes no sense when MJ-12 had supposedly told him about the 1947 and 1950 events, and if anyone tries to come up with a convoluted reason/justification as to why MJ-12 would tell Eisenhower about Roswell but not about Aztec, don’t even bother. You will just be digging an even bigger hole/steaming cesspit for yourself.
Still on the issue of Aztec, within the new material is a bizarre transcript of what is alleged to be a series of chummy chats (I’m not exaggerating) between “various interrogators” and an alien entity who survived the Aztec crash. At one point, the interviewer asks the “ExtraTerrestrial Biological Entity” the following question: “So you have been visiting us for some time. I have no choice to accept that, even though I’d love some proof. But you still didn’t tell me who sent you the message from Earth that brought you back?” (It’s a long and tedious story!)
The alien replies to the interviewer: “Funny you should connect those two subjects.” Can you really imagine sitting opposite a creature from another world which provides answers in what are so blatantly obviously human terms? On another occasion, the alien says, also in the kinds of words we would use, “Listen now, because this could go on forever.” At one point, the E.T. even refers to his great-grandfather!! In those words! Are we really expected to believe this? That was clearly the goal.
We should not doubt that the surfacing of these documents (right at the time that the seventieth anniversary of Roswell was almost upon us) was designed to provoke a great deal of debate among certain ufologists, but they will—just like all of the other MJ-12 files—prove nothing. All they will do is cause ufology to waste its collective time, which is exactly what happened back in the 1980s and 1990s. Alice Bradley Sheldon’s final hurrah? Maybe, prepared in her twilight years, Sheldon was sought out to create the ultimate, most bizarre leaked document on UFOs and alien life.
