MJ-12´s full title is the Majestic-I2 Special Studies Project of the National Security Council. It is referred to as MJ-I2 for short, but only informally and never in internal documents. MJ-12 is so secret and highly compartmentalized that only those at the top understand what it is they are protecting. The majority of MJ-12 personnel are security personnel involved in covering up the UFOs´ activities on Earth as well as the government´s complicity with them. Most of the rest are technicians and scientists involved with finding applications for the UFOs´ gifts of technology and intelligence. A tiny percentage are involved in directly negotiating with the Ultra-terrestrials, receiving their technology and intelligence, and setting MJ-12 policy.

MJ-I2´s current membership is confined to select members of the NSC, the CIA, the DIA, the NSA, the NRO, the U.S. Space Command, the Air Force Intelligence Agency, the Army Intelligence and Security Command, and the Office of Naval Intelligence. Over the years, the CIA has been losing its influence in MJ-12 due to encroachment by the NSA, DIA, and the military intelligence branches. The Department of Defense controls the lion´s share of MJ-12´s resources and personnel. MJ-12 is well organized an...
