teams to find
out the information we want by any means necessary,” then to the
General, “When I get back to Washington, I will issue the
Majestic-12 Executive Order and authorize everything you need to
get this done, and consider this the highest state secret the
United States has ever had, so that means it is against the law for
anyone with knowledge of this to talk about or refer to this. I
will also inform the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense that
no President, other than me at the moment, will know about this
until such a time necessary for the President to know the details
and act upon the information. Good day, gentlemen.”
    The Majestic-12 were an elite group of men,
six civilians and six highly ranked military men, chosen by Truman
to keep the aliens, Area 51, and everything associated with it a
secret. Truman had James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense,
become the head of the entire group, who in turn chose the head of
the Central Intelligence Agency, Rear Admiral
Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, to operate the facility. Others
were given specific tasks to misdirect, misinform, and deny
everything. Maps of the United States were re-drawn, so that it
appeared there was nothing but Nellis Air Force Base in the
vicinity. Some people with special knowledge were also put into
positions at Wright Field, where another Hangar 18 was constructed
to build and test, they hoped, some of the flight technology that
would come from investigating the alien spaceship.
    Wright was also where the first stages of
Project Sign, then finally, Project Blue Book would originate.
Project Sign was to investigate any reports of UFO’s, and if
possible, find a reasonable explanation as to what people were
actually seeing, and then deny everything having to do with
investigating reports of UFO’s. Project Blue Book was used to
determine if UFO’s were a threat to national security, see what
could be done to protect the United States from these threats, and
then respond accordingly. Blue Book was also supposed to find and
evaluate any new technology coming from UFO’s, so as to defend the
United States from the Soviet Union, if they ever attacked.
Eventually, both Projects were shut down and all knowledge of both
were disavowed and anyone who found out about it was investigated,
visited by mysterious men in black, and threatened that if they
didn’t keep their mouths shut, they would disappear or be made to
look like they were crazy and saw conspiracies everywhere. Most
cooperated with the secret government agents.

Chapter Eight

    At Area 51, the alien spacecraft was housed
in an underground facility that could withstand any kind of nuclear
explosion. The Joint Chiefs assigned Air Force engineers to take
the ship apart and study all the various components required for it
to work, and if possible, implement all alien technology into human
technology. The individual Ragnor, who was still alive and none too
happy with his situation, was coerced into helping the humans
develop the means for supersonic flight, since no current aircraft
in the inventory of the new military branch of the United States
Air Force was capable of going fast enough to fly faster than the
speed of sound, and all previous attempts had met with absolute
failure. The Ragnor was taken to his computer, since the human
scientists knew this was a computer, even though it was light years
ahead of the ENIAC, and they watched as the alien accessed the
information for traveling faster than the speed of sound. When the
information appeared on the computer monitor, the Ragnor said, “The
information you primitive humans seek is now on this monitor. What
do you need to know?”
    “We need to know how to keep our aircraft
from breaking apart. When the last couple of attempts were made,
the skin of the airplanes began peeling off, forcing the pilot to
eject. On another flight, an engine failed and blew up, killing the
pilot. We’re not sure what caused the malfunctions,
