REPORT ON THE MJ-12 DOCUMENTS PRESENTED
BY DR. ROBERT WOOD AT MUFON
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
I was eager to hear Dr. Wood's presentation on the MJ-12 documents as there
has been a resurrection of the controversy that swirled around the first
documents that Moore and Shandera released.
The audience was knowledgeable about some of the objections already raised
concerning these documents and I believe that Dr. Wood did a fairly
admirable job of answering some of these objections. While far from
conclusive, there are some positive findings that have been discovered in
the process of authenticating these documents.
First, Dr. Wood revealed that he had secured a Questionable Document
examiner whose name is James A. Black who has been called upon to testify in
many court cases concerning the authenticity of documents.
One of the objections raised was that the SOM1-01 manual had no document
control number which is standard for Top Secret material. Dr. Wood contacted
Don Berliner who had independently of Tim Cooper received a filmed copy of
this document in the mail and had discovered that one frame had not been
developed and printed. This frame, upon examination, contained the missing
document control number.
I was impressed by a statement in one of the documents commenting on the
Mantell case. The document stated that small perforations were found in the
skin of the aircraft. This statement correlates with a similar statement
made by an inspector just a couple of years ago who came forward with the
story that he had examined the wreckage of Mantell's P-51 and was amazed to
see skin covered with tiny holes.
Another positive note regards a CIA document referenced on page 1 of the 1st
Annual Report of the MAJESTIC TWELVE PROJECT. One FOIA filer has already
obtained a positive reply from the CIA indicating that this document is
being considered for declassification this year. I have asked UFO lawyer
Peter Gersten to file an FOIA request on the part of Skywatch International
for a copy of this document. The document was a Top Secret document on world
wide intelligence gathering through signal, radar, communications, and human
intelligence operations in the first five years. Such a document would be a
valuable asset to researchers.
Dr. Wood went through an assessment of 10 documents and told us a little
about Tim Cooper, the man who received these docs in his Post Office box.
Tim Cooper has been asked to take a polygraph exam and has consented to do
so.
An interesting point was the exact duplication of Truman's signature on two
documents dated only 6 days apart. One memo was to Forrestal and the other
to Vannevar Bush. The only difference in Truman's signature was the density
of ink laid on the paper by the strokes of the pen. Dr. Wood showed a photo
of Truman using a device called a pentograph. With this device, he could
sign 6 memos at once as each pen followed the strokes of the one handheld
pen. This could account for the duplicated signature. The dates on the memos
are Sept. 24, 1947 and October 1, 1947. He asked anyone to come up with a
third memo between those dates that contained Truman's signature that could
fairly well authenticate that Truman used his pentograph to sign these
documents.
He is also having Black look at the initials "VB" on one of the documents to
see if they match anything initialed by Vannevar Bush.
The mention of the word retro-virus in one of the documents (dated in 1952)
in regards to biological weapons has been criticized. So far no
reconciliation of this objection has been made. Further research on this is
needed.
However, the objection to the word "satellite" in the SOM document I think
is reasonably answered as plans to deploy a satellite were in the making and
satellites were frequently mentioned in books and periodicals from the 1954
era. The word is only used with other words like meteorite in the context
that a recovery operation could be covered up by saying that a satellite had
fallen to earth. Bogus explanations intended to cover-up an operation do not
have to be true.
There are omissions of concern to many. The security procedures mentioned in
the SOM seem to be inadequate, but the manual does not look thorough, and
may only be an abstract of another document. And why is there no mention of
certain other crashes? Is the Paradise Valley crash of 1947 bogus or
inconsequential?
I have not made up my mind yet on these documents and I think it is going to
take further involvement to make assessments of the arguments both pro and
con.
If there is some truth, even a modicum of truth, in these documents, then
the implications are far-reaching and I am sure that you can all use your
imagination to see this.

Bill Hamilton

(n.d.T.: non l'ho tradotta perche' di difficile interpretazione)
La parola e' usata solamente con altre parole come meteorite nel contesto di
una operazione di recupero che potrebbe essere stata insabbiata dicendo che
un satellite era caduto sulla Terra, intendendo cosi' occultare
un'operazione che non deve essere vera.
Le procedure di sicurezza menzionate nei documneti SOM appaiono inadeguate
ma il manuale potrebbe essere solo il sommario di
un altro documento. E perche' poi non c'e' riferimento agli altri crash come
quello di Paradise Valley del 1947?
Non mi sono fatto ancora un'idea su questi documenti e penso quindi che sia
necessario fare altre ricerche per verificare tutte le argomentazioni pro e
contro. Se c'e' qualcosa di vero in questi documenti, anche in minima parte,
allora le implicazioni sono tutte facilmente immaginabili."

n.d.T.: spero di aver rispettato il piu' fedelmente possibile quanto
riportato. Certo e' che si capisce ben poco anche perche' mancano le
premesse e una spiegazione un pochino piu' accurata del contesto generale.
