There's very little doubt in my mind that the Majestic 12 documents are fairly well researched fan fiction. I've really become fascinated with UFOs
during the Truman years and don't think for a second that anything along those lines was ever put in writing. Gen. Robert Landry's oral history at the
Truman Library alludes to this when he wrote about his UFO briefings for Truman. Nothing in writing . . . ever.
