user posted image rTop secret documents alleged to have been written by high ranking government and military officials, including three U.S. presidents, leaked to the public in the early 1980s, have been proven fraudulent by recent forensic linguistic testing. These documents, collectively named "The Majestic Documents" by researchers, contained references to the alleged crash of a flying saucer near Roswell, NM, in July of 1947. References to extraterrestrial technology and alien bodies appear in several of the documents. Dates of the documents themselves range from 1942 to the early 1990s. The Majestic Documents were allegedly authored by members of an above top secret task force (MJ-12) begun under the auspices of then President Truman to deal with the crash of an extraterrestrial space craft near Roswell. The cache of documents included memos written by President Truman; Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, who would become the first Director of the CIA; Dr. Vannevar Bush, who chaired the Office of Scientific Research and Development; and General Nathan Twining, who headed the Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where the wreckage was taken, and who served as Air Force Chief of Staff (1953-1957) and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1957-1961). Aside from President Truman, memos allegedly written by presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy are also among the Majestic Documents.

The documents were tested by Dr. Carol Chaski of Georgetown, DE, who was hired by Dr. Michael Heiser, a biblical scholar with an interest in the UFO phenomenon. Dr. Chaski is a leading expert in the linguistic science of authorship attribution, a discipline that uses computers to extract and define stylistic patterns in a given author's writings -- a "linguistic fingerprint". Dr. Chaski pioneered her own computational document authentication software program, ALIAS, for such testing, and is currently the president of ALIAS Technology, LLC. Among the stylistic patterns detected by Dr. Chaski's specially-developed computer program are patterns in sentence structure, word order in parts of speech and use of punctuation.

It doesn't a genius to figure the documents are fakes if they were released in the 1980's and have dates in the 1990's!

Figures, if something is too good to be true it is a lie....

So which is the legit document? It seems you have have to pay to get any more information than is contained in the press release.

I've always sort of figured they'd turn out to be fake. I am kinda geeked to see how the crazies spin their brains around this one, though. Stupid science always killing our crazy conspiracy theories...

True, except that you can't see the science here unless you pay up, oh and the person announcing this this claim just happens to be selling a new fiction book. What better way to generate interest in a book than announcing a headline-grabbing discovery?

I am agnostic on the MJ12 documents, but a press release is hardly enough proof that they are fake. I'll wait for the data, thanks, (and I'm not shelling out any money to see it either).

there is no way to prove they are fake documents....they were leaked documents...but never original prints...they were all leaked photocopies...u can't run tests on photocopies...this isn't CSI.

Is it possible to check 11 pages out of 35000 and conclude that the whole produck is "fake". What is the man gaining from this? The sale of his book!!!
