A secret history: Inside shadow intelligence, the MJ-12 documents | Reality Check
Analysis Summary
Summary
The encounter involves Jamie Shandera, a Los Angeles-based TV writer, who received a mysterious package in December 1984. Inside was a roll of film containing photographs of secret government documents about a group called Majestic 12 (MJ12). This group was allegedly formed by President Truman in 1947 to manage extraterrestrial craft and beings. Shandera and his friend William Moore believed they found significant evidence of a government cover-up. However, multiple government agencies, including the FBI and the Air Force, have declared the documents as forgeries and lacking authenticity. The impact on Shandera includes ongoing interest in UAPs and a desire to investigate further, despite the official denials from the government.
