I know, I know.

There is no doubt that the validity of the MJ-12 documents are heavily contested.

Some individuals are convinced the MJ-12 documents were created as part of a disinformation campaign against the Soviet Union.

Some deny the existence of the group entirely.

I do not happen to agree with either of these conclusions. And the reason(s) for my position will perhaps be taken up in a future post.

But it does not matter if you believe that MJ-12 was a hoax or not. (Though, I hope, after doing your own extensive research, you will find that it is anything but a hoax.)

What really matters is what is found within the MJ-12 documents. Many of the descriptions match what we have seen recently in the news (ie Nimitz video).

The MJ-12 documents — whether authentic or not — predate the Nimitz incident by at least forty-five years. If the documents were a hoax, then how could someone possibly predict back then what we would really see in the skies in 2004 (when the Nimitz occurred)?

It verges on absurdity.

This small description comes from Extraterrestrial Entities and Technology, Recovery and Disposal.

This describes the “Fuselage or cigar shape” UFO. This is just one of four different shapes of UFOs explained in the pamphlet.

This description is in line with the Tic Tac video, but there are several other accounts that match the cigar shape.

Consider this entry from Jacques Vallee’s book Wonders in the Sky:

March, 1828, Mount Wingen, Australia (Cigar-shaped object lands) A mysterious flying object was said to have descended upon Mount Wingen at the Burning Mountain Nature Reserve. It was “cigar-shaped and had a funny silver colour” and made a loud banging noise. According to the report, “when it landed it set fire to all the vegetation and killed the cattle.”

This particular case predates the MJ-12 documents by well over a century. But it does not stop there.

Let’s continue.

This is a document from the Canadian archives, which describes a “…cylindrical object and looked like a propane tank…”

Again, this is very similar to the Tic Tac and the MJ-12 documents.

I like to wonder what these people thought they were seeing back then (especially in the 1828 case). I cannot help but think it caused a mental cramp. Perhaps they just tried to omit it from memory.

What else is one expected to do when they are confronted with something they cannot explain?

Many of these documents were classified for a long time. But it makes you wonder why they were classified in the first place. If there was, in fact, no evidence of UFOs or alien bodies, then why continue the narrative for so many years? As a disinformation campaign? There are more convincing ways to mislead someone than to make up a narrative about aliens and flying spacecraft. It tells me that the narrative is so unbelievable that it must be true.

UFO information is typically classified for two reasons:

) To keep the current investigation private. ) To mask ignorance.

Let’s take a look at another description.

This document has a lot of similarities with a few cases.

First, the “Flying Barrels” bit is reminiscent of the Tic Tac.

Second, the experiencer said it looked like a “flying lozenge.”

Again, sounds like the Tic Tac and MJ-12 description.

Another small detail is the speed described. This document describes the object’s speed to be “about the speed of sound.”

This is interesting. The speed of sound is 767 miles per hour. That is pretty fast. The Lonnie Zamora Incident describes the craft there to have had a maximum acceleration of 720 miles per hour. It appears that these craft travel very close to the same speed.

My research into the similarities of specific cases is ongoing, but I just wanted to provide a few examples here.

Oh! And then there is this!

These are the different crafts as described in the MJ-12 documents. You do not have to believe the documents are authentic to see that there are certainly similarities between UFO cases.

I want to reiterate this, too. The MJ-12 documents, if they are inauthentic, still show a common shape in craft from the 50’s and 60’s to what we have seen in the skies since the 1980’s (starting with the Belgium UFO Incident). This bit of information is often left out. And I do not think there are enough individuals drawing attention to this fact.

The only way around this is to be of the opinion that the MJ-12 documents were somehow faked in the 90’s, which is simply not the case.

I maintain that these documents are authentic. And there are many researchers out there who are of the same opinion.

I suggest checking out this video with Richard Dolan and MJ-12 researcher, Ryan Wood, for more information on how the process of authenticating the MJ-12 documents worked.
