Majestic 12 (MJ-12)

A set of leaked government documents claimed to prove a secret twelve-person committee was created by presidential order to manage recovered alien technology and bodies — and document examiners found the typewriter fonts didn't even exist yet at the claimed date.

Majestic 12, or MJ-12, refers to a set of documents that surfaced beginning in 1984, claiming to reveal a secret committee established by President Truman in 1947 to manage recovered extraterrestrial material and oversee related government secrecy. Extensive forensic document analysis, including anachronistic typefaces and signature inconsistencies, has led most researchers, including many prominent UFO investigators, to conclude the documents are forgeries.
