Top Secret / MAJIC
Stanton T. Friedman

Top Secret/MAJIC is the result of nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman's eleven year search for the truth about the mysterious Operation Majestic 12, classified Top Secret/MAJIC. Some of the most startling of these documents are published here for the first time. They tell the incredible tale of the July 1947 recovery of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico and the establishment by President Truman of a truly all-star cast (Majestic-12) to deal with the saucer and its non human inhabitants.

From The Critics
Library Journal

Friedman, a nuclear physicist and noted "UFOlogist" (Crash at Corona: The Definitve Study of the Roswell Incident, Marlowe, 1994), examines the documentary evidence for the existence of a clandestine government group called "Majestic-12" (sometimes shortened to "MJ-12" or "Majic"), supposedly formed in 1947 to deal with the remains of a crashed flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico. The U.S. government has consistently denied there ever was such an incident or group. Friedman attempts to authenticate purported MJ-12 documents that mysteriously appeared in 1984 and 1994. He also refutes arguments by debunkers such as Carl Sagan and Phillip Klass and criticizes the findings in Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt's recent The Truth About the UFO Crash in Roswell (LJ 6/1/94). Included here for the first time is part of a 1984 "Special Operations Manual" for the recovery and disposal of extraterrestrial entities and technology. If authenticated, it would lend credence to Friedman's belief in a governmental cover-up he terms a "cosmic Watergate." While this book is speculative to some degree, Friedman operates mostly as a scientist, carefully weighing all evidence before coming to a conclusion.
