PROJECT PAPERCLIP AND THE SPACE RACE 165to recover the wreckage of a disc- shaped craft from a crash site “approximately75 miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Base.” Also, “four smallhuman-like beings [who] had apparently ejected from the craft” werefound dead about two miles east of the wreckage site. The documentadded, “Civilian and military witnesses in the area were debriefed, andnews reporters were given the effective cover story that the object had beena misguided weather research balloon.” Later, when the weather balloonstory became discredited, the story was changed to a Mogul balloon, usedto monitor the upper atmosphere for Soviet A-bomb testing, though whysuch a monitoring device would be launched from New Mexico was neverexplained.The “briefing” papers ended by stating, “Implications for the NationalSecurity are of continuing importance in that the motives and ultimateintentions of these visitors remain completely unknown. In addition, asignificant upsurge in the surveillance activity of these craft beginning inMay and continuing through the autumn of [1952] has caused considerableconcern that new developments may be imminent. It is for these reasons,as well as the obvious international and technological considerationsand the ultimate need to avoid a public panic at all costs, that theMajestic-12 Group remains of the unanimous opinion that imposition ofthe strictest security precautions should continue without interruptioninto the new administration.”These MJ-12 documents created a storm of controversy within theUFO research community. Debunkers claimed to have found all sorts ofdiscrepancies—from misspellings to identical signatures. However, noone has been able to definitively disprove all the MJ-12 documents asfakes and, in fact, there is much evidence to indicate their authenticity.For example, Dr. Robert M. Wood, who managed research and developmentat McDonnell Douglas for forty-three years, found that the typefaceand style of the SOM 1-01 manual matched that of U.S. governmentprinting presses in use during the 1950s.If the information in the MJ-12 documents is proven correct, it isstrong evidence that certain persons within the United States had accessto remarkable technology, both taken at Roswell and similar to that describedas being in Nazi hands toward the end of the war.
