FBI and UFOs: Flying Flapjacks
A July 1950 FBI statement said that “the jurisdiction and responsibility for investigating flying saucers have been assumed by the United States Air Force. Information received in this matter is immediately turned over to the Air Force, and the FBI does not attempt to investigate these reports or evaluate the information furnished.” From this point, the FBI’s cases on UFOs dropped off dramatically. Neither the public nor the Air Force sought our expertise as they had during the first few years of the Cold War. There were a few exceptions. In 1977, for example, the Air Force informed us of the end of their “Project Blue Book” investigation of UFO reports. And in 1988, we were asked to look into the release of what appeared to be a 1952 classified document concerning a UFO-related top secret government group called “Majestic 12”—we determined that the document was a fake.
FBI Records: The Vault
Majestic 12 In 1988, two FBI offices received similar versions of a memo titled “Operation Majestic-12…” claiming to be highly classified government document. The memo appeared to be a briefing for newly-elected President Eisenhower on a secret committee created to exploit a recovery of an extra-terrestrial aircraft and cover-up this work from public examination. An Air Force investigation determined the document to be a fake.

So far what I'm getting is that the document has been proven to be a fake but the FBI is still lying? Not that I believe the FBI but I'm confused is Majestic 12 a hoax or no?

The one thing you can be sure of is that the FBI is not in the business of telling us the truth; only in the business of justifying their existence and making themselves look like the big hero....

Can't even make sure they use the same story on their own website. Pretty funny.
I'm intrigued now so I'll read the book.
Thanks

I know many threads exist about Majestic 12, but I'm wondering if anybody noticed this contradiction on the FBI website?
In one place on the FBI website they say that Air Force asked FBI to look into Majestic 12 and the FBI determined that it's fake.

Hi maxella1,
The FBI documents indicate that the FBI investigation involved asking the DOD and Air Force (Office of Special Investigations) about the some of the MJ-12 documents and that that the Office of Special Investigations responded on 30 November 1988 that those documents were "fabricated ... The document is completely bogus".

Where was I trying to convince anyone of anything??? I said what the FBI documents indicated in terms of the FBI investigation and the communication from the US Air Force. I didn't say that the conclusion reached by the FBI was valid.
In fact, I think my summary of the FBI documents show that the FBI investigation was pretty limited and the FBI documents do not indicate what investigation (if any) was done by the US Air Force before it stated to the FBI that the MJ-12 documents were bogus.
