三、原文内容

Chapter 23: To my Amazement It All Keeps on Going
Four months before Lee Israel’s death in December 2014, ufologist Tony Bragalia wrote an online article with the title of “Famous JFK-Marilyn-UFO Wiretap.” Bragalia’s article began with these words:
In 1994 it was revealed that a mysterious document had surfaced that appeared to be a CIA wiretap memo summarizing an intriguing phone conversation between journalist Dorothy Kilgallen (a prominent reporter in the ‘50s and ‘60s) and a close friend. It was learned from this 1962 wiretap that President John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe had, during a tryst, discussed subjects relating to the extraterrestrial and to Kennedy’s planned inspection of “things from space” that were located at a “secret air base.” Kilgallen and her confidant Howard Rothberg are then heard discussing things that Kilgallen had learned about crashed spacecraft and bodies from another world and their recovery by the military. The memo has been touted by prominent Ufologists and conspiracy writers such as Nick Redfern, Jim Marrs and Don Burleson (as well as JFK and Marilyn biographers). It has been featured in books, magazines and on websites. Twenty years later it can now be revealed that this potentially explosive piece of documentary evidence is a hoax.
There were a couple of issues in the article that, as soon as I read it, I knew I had to address. Bragalia correctly stated that in April 2009 Timothy Cooper was by then no longer a believer in the Marilyn document and the rest of the files that came to him from the early 1990s onward. I wasn’t sure (and I’m still not sure) why Bragalia made such a brouhaha about that in 2014. Recall that way back on February 29, 1996, Cooper was told by his informants that the documents were not what they seemed to be. They were said to be “constructs” created for a purpose. That purpose was to protect those with the documents (Cooper, Speriglio, Ryan and Bob Wood) from being prosecuted, jailed or worse.
Whether the documents fall into the categories of real hoaxes or constructs, the data was out there in the mid-1990s. No-one was being evasive or hiding things. There’s a whole section on this in Dr. Bob Wood’s Alien Viruses book. Regardless which scenario you believe, the reality is that copies of Cantwheel’s “Construct letter” were in my hands as well as those of Stanton Friedman, Timothy Cooper, Leonard Stringfield, the Woods, and maybe others, too. And none of that material was hidden from the UFO community. It was widely available. Maybe, though, it was ignored by a lot, but that’s a very different picture.
The other issue that caught my eye was Bragalia’s decision to zoom in on the one misspelled word in the document. It’s “trysts.” In the document, however, it’s spelled “trists.” To me, that didn’t amount to much of a red flag. I’ll tell you why. Go to your favorite search-engine and type in: “Trysts or trists?” You’ll see an easy-to-find article titled “Tryst vs Trist – What’s the

Difference?” That same article demonstrates that anyone could be forgiven for misspelling a word that is rarely used - and that is already well-known for causing confusion. Even an employee of the CIA could be forgiven for spelling that word incorrectly.
Since 2014, Bragalia has continued to conclude the document is a hoax.
The Story on the Screen

In 2016, there was a very cool development in the Marilyn story. Paul Davids, the executive producer and co-writer of the 1994 Showtime movie, Roswell , and a Golden Globe nominee for Best Television Motion Picture, had a new production ready: Marilyn Monroe Declassified . It was shown to an eager audience at the 2016 International UFO Congress. As a big fan of Davids’ Roswell , I looked forward to seeing his latest. I was not disappointed. It asked: “What were the consequences of leaks of highly classified CIA information in the 1950s and 1960s; how did UFO knowledge gleaned from JFK put Marilyn Monroe at risk; what is the documentation and evidence for this; and what policies kept the truth concealed from the public – and continue to keep it concealed?”
Everything was there: Project Moon Dust, Area 51, Dorothy Kilgallen, James Jesus Angleton, JFK and a huge amount more. The word was most definitely still getting out, something that still amazes me.
Seven Days in May Resurfaces

As incredible as it may sound, there were still further developments in the story of Seven Days in May . On the morning of February 28, 2018, I was casually surfing around the FBI’s website, The Vault , when something hit me right in the eye. The FBI had posted to its site a newly declassified file on Stanley Kubrick, the director of thirteen movies, including 2001: A Space Odyssey , Dr. Strangelove , A Clockwork Orange , and Eyes Wide Shut . The file was only four pages long, so there wasn’t that much said about him. The FBI records said that “…Kubrick was an old chess-playing friend of [Deleted] who has been the subject of a security-type investigation conducted by this Bureau. [Deleted] reportedly had a large circle of communist associates.” More intriguing, though, were the references to Seven Days in May ; a movie that played such a big part in this overall story in relation to the “secret air base” Area 51 angle. But why was the movie referenced in the Kubrick file? I took a good look. On March 20, 1964, the FBI recorded in a Confidential-level memo: “Admiral [Arleigh A.] Burke, U.S. Navy (Ret.), good friend of Bureau, has contacted Assistant Director Sullivan to state that movie ‘Seven Days in May,’ which tells of abortive plot of military clique to seize control of U.S. Government. Burke is in receipt of letters concerning recent attacks on military. One letter alleges communist connections of movie’s cast, namely, Fredric March, Burt Lancaster [deleted] and Ava Gardner.”
The FBI’s document continued: “Another letter cites two new books, ‘The Passion of the Hawks,’ by Tristram Coffin, and ‘The Military Establishment,’ by John Swomley, and another new movie, ‘Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,’ produced by Stanley Kubrick, all of which derogate military.”
“Offensive”

That’s how Seven Days in May came to be referenced in the Kubrick file. And, although there is little more on Kubrick, there is certainly much more on Seven Days in May . The FBI’s memo continues: “Fletcher Knebel, one of co-authors of ‘Seven Days of May,’ criticized Director in ‘Look’ magazine in 1955. Fredrick March and wife were subjects of closed security cases alleging them to have been Communist Party members and active in communist fronts in past… Burke stated that he had seen the film, which portrays every military and civilian leader in it as a man of great weakness, and he feels that the picture is detrimental to the Nation. His appraisal of the picture has appeared in the press and, as a result, he said, he has received several letters.” The document also refers to one of Admiral Burke’s correspondents as stating that Burt Lancaster was a “zealous Moscow stalwart.”
The FBI concluded with these words: “It is entirely understandable why a military leader of Admiral Burke’s stature would find the theme of ‘Seven Days in May’ - even though it is pure fiction - offensive because it does tarnish the image of the American military.”
Once again, I found evidence of U.S. government interest in, and concern about, Seven Days in May . In many ways, the movie caused concern and anger in government circles.
Lee Israel Resurfaces

There was something else, too, that occurred in 2018. That was when the movie version of Israel’s 2008 book - Can You Ever Forgive me? - was released into cinemas. So far, it has brought in more than $12 Million.
When the matter of “dotting the I’s” was over, Simon & Schuster, who published the book, said of the cinematic version: “…by 1990, almost broke and desperate to hang onto her Upper West Side studio, Lee made a bold and irreversible career change: inspired by a letter she’d received once from Katharine Hepburn, and armed with her considerable skills as a researcher and celebrity biographer, she began to forge letters in the voices of literary greats. Between 1990 and 1991, she wrote more than three hundred letters in the voices of, among others, Dorothy Parker, Louise Brooks, Edna Ferber, Lillian Hellman, and Noel Coward - and sold the forgeries to memorabilia and autograph dealers.”
Lee’s story lives on.

Chapter 24: Welcome to the Jungle of Majestic 12
Those who view the Speriglio document as a fake point out that it has to be bogus because there has been no government interest in it – or concerns about it. Their argument is that if the document was real, the government would be all over the place, grilling the likes of me about where, and who, the document came from. Well, there is material that suggests the government has taken a deep look at it. Between 1994 and 1995 we heard rumors of three agencies of the
U.S. government following the story of Marilyn’s death by UFOs and aliens (in a roundabout way). They were said to have been the NSA, the FBI and the CIA.
Without anything to support such a claim, I would have been somewhat cautious. There was , however, something to provide that support. First, I was able to confirm that for years, Milo Speriglio – the number-one guy in the process of releasing the document into the public domain - was the topic of a secret CIA file going back to around 1982. It was all in relation to Speriglio’s investigations into Marilyn and her way-too-early death. There was something else too. Questionable UFO documents of unclear provenance have been the subject of government investigations for years. Why should things be any different for the Speriglio document? They shouldn’t have been any different. And they weren’t.

A Secret UFO Group

From looking at how one similar saga was investigated by several government agencies in the 1980s, we can see how this parallels the Marilyn controversy. The case in question exploded in May 1987 but had been simmering quietly long before that. That was when a controversial document concerning the same things that appear in the Speriglio document - accounts of dead aliens and the events at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 – shocked and excited the UFO community. The document told of a top-secret program called, variously, MJ-12, MJ12, Majestic, and Majestic 12. A few used the word Majesty. The story dates back to the final months of 1980. That was when a man named William “Bill” Moore – who had been looking into the Roswell puzzle since the mid-seventies – made more than a few advances into the story that even the government wasn’t able to extinguish. He was offered a deal of penning a book on the case with bestselling writer, Charles Berlitz. The pair’s book, The Roswell Incident , was published in 1980. Moore’s publishing company was keen for him to do as much publicity for the book as possible. Moore was pleased to do exactly that. In agreeing to do so, Moore’s life was changed.
“A Hint of an Eastern European Accent”

After one particular radio show (WOW ) in September 1980, one of the staff at the station approached Moore and told him there was someone on the phone who wanted to speak with him. It turns out the man on the phone was calling from Offutt Air Force Base. It’s situated at Sarpy County, Nebraska. Moore listened while the man, a Colonel, said: “We think you’re the only one we’ve heard that seems to know what he’s talking about.” Moore grabbed a pen and took down the colonel’s phone-number, assuring the man he would call back when he was home from the publicity campaign. The two agreed to meet, further down the line, at a place that worked for both. Moore was excited and intrigued. What was going on? What did a colonel with the Air Force want with him?
Moore’s source didn’t wait for him to phone. Instead, he took the advantage and said those very same words on the phone, “We think you’re the only one we’ve heard that seems to know what he’s talking about.” By this time, Moore was getting more and more intrigued. A meeting at an eatery in Albuquerque, New Mexico was agreed upon. Interestingly, Greg Bishop – who has carefully followed the story of Bill Moore – said that when the aged skinny man arrived at the restaurant, it was clear his accent was not that of an American. Bishop said the man had a “hint of an Eastern European accent.” From that day on, the old man would be known to Moore as “The Falcon.” When Bishop told me about the Falcon’s accent, I wondered if he and the pseudonymous Thomas Cantwheel – who could speak Russian – might have been one and the same. Food for thought, if nothing else.
The Rules of the Falcon

Greg Bishop was able to take things further: “[Moore’s] new acquaintance told [him] that he represented a group of intelligence agents in the U.S. Government who were tired of the secrecy surrounding the UFO subject and were eager to release more accurate information to the public.

They wanted to do this through a reputable researcher. He would be given small bites of the story over time and could do with it as he wished. Would Moore be interested in participating in such a program?”
It was now or never. Moore knew he had to be in it for the long-haul. It was made clear to Moore that unless he got on-board and played the way of the Falcon and his team of his intelligence agents, there was not a chance of him, Moore, being able to get to the heart of the UFO mystery. Moore agreed to go along. Who wouldn’t when given such an incredible offer? From that moment, Moore’s life would not be the same. He knew it and it was all good. Except for one thing. Not unlike Timothy Cooper’s experiences in the early 1990s, Moore - along with various additional trusted colleagues – found himself on the receiving end of a number of documents that may or may not have been genuine top secret U.S. governments on extraterrestrial activity. It was the Marilyn scenario, but around fourteen years earlier.
Project Aquarius Appears

This was not a half-hearted operation on the part of the Falcon. Handovers of what looked like highly sensitive government documents on UFOs and aliens took place across the country. One meeting was in a motel-room in New York. Another in Los Angeles. A third rendezvous was at Seattle, Washington’s Sea-Tac International Airport. On that occasion, an old short geezer gave to Nic Magnuson – a friend and colleague of Moore – sensitive material hidden inside a folded- up newspaper. Those same papers made references to communications with ETs and to a “Project Aquarius” – said to have been one of the primary operations in the government’s UFO program.
The excitement factor was huge for Moore, as it would be for Timothy Cooper years later. Unfortunately, and despite the different timeframes, Moore and Cooper had the same nagging problem: Were the documents real or were their providers playing mind-games? Moore pushed on and in 1984, he hit what was the most significant document of the lot.

An Early Christmas Present?

Exactly two weeks before Christmas Day, a package appeared on the doorstep of the home of a man named Jaime Shandera. He was a friend and colleague of Moore and someone who was heavily into UFOs too. The envelope contained camera-film of a document that told the story of a secret group established by the U.S. government following the Roswell crash of July 1947. It went by various permutations, the most popular in the UFO research arena being Majestic 12. The document showed the government had dead aliens hidden away. Extraterrestrial wreckage had been recovered by the U.S. military. Autopsies on the disturbing looking humanoids from far away – with their black eyes, large heads, and skinny bodies – were quickly undertaken. No-one knew what should be done. No-one knew how to keep the public and the press away from the incredible finding. Everything was top secret as the documentation made very clear.
Moore and Shandera – and soon, Stan Friedman, too - quickly got their act together to scrutinize the material. Such was the perceived deep concern for what they had, the trio decided the wisest approach was to say nothing – not a single thing – to anyone. Not even to family and friends. The three continued to quietly research the documents – genuine or faked. Things altered quickly in 1987. That’s when something occurred that was totally out of the hands of the team. It was the last thing they needed.
A Manic Month in May

As the investigations into Majestic 12 continued on, rumors began to circulate that an English UFO writer, Timothy Good, had gotten copies of the same papers that Moore, Shandera and Friedman had kept so quiet since 1984. As for how Good got his versions, that’s still a mystery to this day. I should note there are vague claims, though, that Good’s supply came from someone with links to the CIA. The handover of the papers to Good was said to have occurred in March 1987. Of more concern for the three men in a quandary, however, was not so much who gave Good the documents but that he was about to have a new book published, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-Up . Sidgwick & Jackson was the company; a highly respected publishing company with an ability to make Good’s book a big hit. The goal was achieved. The book became a bestseller in the U.K. and guess what? Sidgwick & Jackson just about managed to get the Majestic 12 documents in the pages of Above Top Secret before Good’s book went to print. Moore, Shandera and Friedman were beaten to the finish line. They were far from happy. That’s life.
Two months after Good’s CIA insider provided him the documents, the London Observer newspaper mentioned it. The date of the article was May 31, 1987. Written by Martin Bailey, it had the lengthy title of “Close encounters of an alien kind – and now if you’ve read enough about the election, here’s news from another world.” This was the UK General Election in 1987. It’s the equivalent of the US Presidential Election.
1987 Deaths: Suspicious or Not?

In no time, Moore, Shandera and Friedman chose to release their copies into the public domain, which is hardly surprising given that word of the Majestic 12 papers was now starting to trickle

and circulate outside the confines of the trio. This was completely understandable: the three had done all of the groundwork, and the very last thing they wanted now was to be written out of the story – or, at the absolute least, left marginalized and sitting frustratingly on the sidelines. And who should have died in May 1987, just when the Majestic 12 documents were about to surface? The CIA’s James Jesus Angleton, one of the main figures in the Marilyn story. Lung-cancer was the cause. Angleton was sixty-nine.
Strangely, also in May 1987, a woman named Alice Bradley Sheldon – an employee of the CIA who wrote sci-fi under the alias of James Tiptree – took her life. Her husband’s life, too. Sheldon is believed to have created a faked UFO document – to freak out the Russians - in the 1960s called the “Serpo” document. It tells a story that mirrors certain portions of the 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind . Specifically, the final stages of the movie in which Richard Dreyfuss’ character, Roy Neary, is taken away by aliens.
The story above shows that questionable UFO documents have been circulating around the United States - and, to a degree, in the U.K. with Timothy Good - since the early 1980s. Should we view them as hoaxes of no particular value or importance? Or are greater agendas at work? Undeniably, it’s the latter. How can I say so? By scrutinizing another aspect of the Majestic 12 story, we can make a good case as to how and why the government would have definitely investigated the Speriglio document.

Chapter 25: The Russians are Coming… Maybe
The next part of the story, one of the most important, concerns Philip Klass, best known for his long-time article-writing for Aviation Week & Space Technology . Klass also spent a decade in the employ of General Electric. I’ve met some two-faced evil people in Ufology and, if I ever made a list of them, Klass would be at the top. It wasn’t because he was a rabid debunker of just about anything in Ufology. It was because of…well, let me give you a perfect example, one that ties in directly with this story. It’ll give you an idea of Klass’ tactics.
In 1987, when it became public knowledge that the Majestic 12 documents were floating around, and Bill Moore was running the investigation - with Shandera and Friedman behind - Klass wrote a letter to the FBI. It reached William Baker, who then was the Assistant Director in the Office of Congressional and Public Affairs. Klass wanted words with the G-Men. He suggested to the FBI that if the Majestic 12 papers were genuine and had been leaked to Moore by someone in the government, then it would only be right to have the Feds descend on Moore and grill him to the max for being in the possession of stolen government documents.
The irony in all of this is that Klass, privately , was absolutely sure the Majestic 12 documents were not real; just hoaxes and nothing else. Yet, that didn’t stop Klass from finding ways to screw up Moore’s life for the fun of it by putting his nose into something that had nothing to do with him – and telling the FBI to pay Moore a visit, or several. That’s how the guy worked. Nice, I don’t think. Klass’s scummy plan, unfortunately, worked. Moore found himself being watched by the FBI.
The FBI and Those Documents

Two of the primary figures in the investigation of the Majestic 12 documents were Special Agents Nick Boone and William Zinnikas. Today, Zinnikas is a private consultant on matters concerning counterterrorism and security matters. Boone is a successful screenwriter. Another person who was doing his own independent investigation into Majestic 12 was a respected journalist, Howard Blum. He went on, in 1990, to write a book titled Out There that revealed his findings on all this. One of the important things that Blum dug up was a U.S. government UFO- themed “Working Group” that had investigated, among many other UFO-driven things, the Majestic 12 documents. At one point, the Working Group made a quiet and tactful approach to the FBI to see what they could learn about those potentially stolen papers that told such incredible stories.
In 1990, Blum was interviewed by the now-defunct UFO magazine. The editors-publishers, Don Ecker and Vicki Ecker, asked Blum if it was possible the Working Group could have been a “front” for another, even more covert investigative body within the heart of the U.S. government. Blum’s response: “Interestingly, members of [the Working Group] aired that possibility themselves. When looking into the MJ12 papers, some members of the group said - and not in

jest: ‘Perhaps we’re just a front organization for some sort of MJ12. Suppose, in effect, we conclude the MJ12 papers are phony, are counterfeit. Then we’ve solved the entire mystery for the government, relieving them of the burden in dealing with it, and at the same time, we allow the real secret to remain held by a higher source. An FBI agent told me there are so many secret levels within the government that even the government isn’t aware of it!’”
I was doing my own research into all of this too. In a paper entitled “MJ-12 – The FBI Connection,” I wrote: We also know that what was possibly yet another fall 1988 investigation was conducted by the FBI’s Foreign Counter-Intelligence division. Some input into the investigation also came from the FBI office in Dallas, Texas; the involvement of the latter was confirmed to me by Oliver ‘Buck’ Revell, a now-retired Special Agent in Charge at the Dallas, Texas’ FBI office. On September 15, 1988, an agent of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations contacted Dallas FBI and supplied the Bureau with a copy of the Majestic 12 papers. This set was obtained from a source whose identity, according to documentation released to me by the Bureau, the AFOSI has deemed must remain classified to this day. On October 25, 1988, the Dallas office transmitted a two-page Secret Airtel to headquarters that read as follows:
Enclosed for the Bureau is an envelope which contains a possible classified document. Dallas notes that within the last six weeks, there has been local publicity regarding “OPERATION MAJESTIC-12” with at least two appearances on a local radio talk show, discussing the MAJESTIC-12 OPERATION, the individuals involved, and the Government’s attempt to keep it all secret. It is unknown if this is all part of a publicity campaign. [Censored] from OSI, advises that “OPERATION BLUE BOOK,” mentioned in the document on page 4 did exist. Dallas realizes that the purported document is over 35 years old, but does not know if it has been properly declassified. The Bureau is requested to discern if the document is still classified. Dallas will hold any investigation in abeyance until further direction from FBIHQ.
“The Document is Completely Bogus”

On November 30, 1988, there was a rendezvous between personnel from the Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations and the FBI. The location for this almost unique meeting was Washington, D.C. If the AFOSI had information on Majestic 12, said the Bureau, they would definitely like to know. And, please, quickly. A Secret communication back to the Dallas office from Washington on December 2, 1988 read: “This communication is classified Secret in its entirety. Reference Dallas Airtel dated October 25, 1988. Reference Airtel requested that FBIHQ determine if the document enclosed by referenced Airtel was classified or not. The Office of Special Investigations, US Air Force, advised on November 30, 1988, that the document was fabricated. Copies of that document have been distributed to various parts of the United States. The document is completely bogus. Dallas is to close captioned investigation.”
At first glance, that would seem to lay matters to rest, once and for all. Unfortunately, it does not. It only serves to make things even more confusing and mysterious.
“No Documents Responsive”

Also in MJ-12 – The FBI Connection , I said: “There’s no doubt that the Air Force played a most strange game with respect to the Majestic 12 documents. The FBI was assured by the AFOSI that the papers were fabricated; however, Special Agent Frank Batten, Jr., chief of the Information Release Division at the Investigative Operations Center with the USAF, confirmed to me that AFOSI has never maintained any records pertaining to either Majestic 12, or any investigation thereof. This begs an important question: How was the AFOSI able to determine that the papers were faked if no investigation on their part was undertaken? Batten also advised me that while the AFOSI did ‘discuss’ the Majestic 12 documents with the FBI, they made absolutely no written reference to that meeting in any shape or form. This is most odd and unusual: government and military agencies are methodical when it comes to documenting possible breaches of security. Arguably, this case should have been no different. Apparently, though, it was .”
Richard L. Weaver, formerly the Deputy for Security and Investigative Programs with the U.S. Air Force (and the author of the U.S. Air Force’s 1995 almost 1000-page mega-sized report, The Roswell Report: Fact Vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert ), advised me similarly on October 12, 1993: “The Air Force considers the MJ12 (both the group described and the purported documents to be bogus.” Weaver, too, conceded, there were “no documents responsive” to my request for Air Force files on how just such a determination was reached. Stanton Friedman also stated that, based on his correspondence with Weaver on the issue of Majestic 12, he, too, was dissatisfied with the responses that he received after filing similar FOIA requests relating to the way in which the Air Force made its “bogus” determination.
Moreover, there is the matter that AFOSI informed the FBI that, “copies of that document have been distributed to various parts of the United States.” To make such a statement AFOSI simply must have conducted at least some form of investigation or have been in receipt of data from yet another agency. On the other hand, if AFOSI truly did not undertake any such investigation into Majestic 12, then its statement to the FBI decrying the value of the documents is essentially worthless since it is based on personal opinion rather than sound evaluation.
“Identifying and Neutralizing”

We aren’t quite done with those documents and the FBI. There’s the astounding theory that one arm of the FBI – the Foreign Counterintelligence division – came up with; that the Majestic 12 papers were the work of Russian intelligence agents. But just before we get to that, let’s see how and why counterintelligence is such a vital component of the important work of the special agents of the FBI. In the Bureau’s own words:
Spies might seem like a throwback to earlier days of world wars and cold wars, but they are more prolific than ever—and they are targeting our nation’s most valuable secrets. The threat is not just the more traditional spies passing U.S. secrets to foreign governments, either to make money or advance their ideological agendas. It is also students and scientists and plenty of others stealing the valuable trade secrets of American universities and businesses—the ingenuity that drives our economy—and providing them to other countries.

It is nefarious actors sending controlled technologies overseas that help build bombs and weapons of mass destruction designed to hurt and kill Americans and others. And because much of today’s spying is accomplished by data theft from computer networks, espionage is quickly becoming cyber-based.
The FBI has been responsible for identifying and neutralizing ongoing national security threats from foreign intelligence services since 1917, nine years after the Bureau was created in 1908. The FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, which is housed within the National Security Branch, has gone through a lot of changes over the years, and throughout the Cold War the division changed its name several times. But foiling and countering the efforts of the Soviet Union and other communist nations remained the primary mission.
While the Counterintelligence Division continues to neutralize national security threats from foreign intelligence services, its modern-day mission is much broader. The FBI is the lead agency for exposing, preventing, and investigating intelligence activities on U.S. soil, and the Counterintelligence Division uses its full suite of investigative and intelligence capabilities to combat counterintelligence threats. While the details of the FBI’s strategy are classified, the overall goals are as follows:
Protect the secrets of the U.S. Intelligence Community, using intelligence to focus investigative efforts, and collaborating with our government partners to reduce the risk of espionage and insider threats.
Protect the nation’s critical assets, like our advanced technologies and sensitive information in the defense, intelligence, economic, financial, public health, and science and technology sectors.
Counter the activities of foreign spies. Through proactive investigations, the Bureau identifies who they are and stops what they’re doing.
Keep weapons of mass destruction from falling into the wrong hands and use intelligence to drive the FBI’s investigative efforts to keep threats from becoming reality.
All of which brings us back to Majestic 12 and the FBI.
A Mission from Moscow?

Howard Blum said the FBI’s reasoning for suspecting the Russians might have been at the heart of the Majestic 12 debate revolved around “muddying the waters, creating dissension, spreading paranoia in the ranks – those were the day-in, day-out jobs of the ruthless operation.” It was Soviet revenge against U.S. Intelligence for having spun their own UFO-themed operations during the Cold War.
Directly connected to the Soviet theory is the fact that, as U.S. Intelligence learned to its consternation during both the 1970s and the 1980s, a number of unnamed UFO researchers and writers with important links to the U.S. defense industry, had been compromised by Soviet agents. It went like this: those saucer-seekers who worked in the world of defense, and who had

been caught tightly in a Kremlin web, would secretly provide the Russians with top secret data on the likes of the F-117 Nighthawk “stealth fighter” and the B-2 Spirit “stealth bomber” - which, at the time, were still highly classified and in test-stage out at the likes of Area 51.
In return, the Russians would provide those same American UFO researchers with sensational documents on crashed UFOs and dead aliens. The plan that Moscow had in mind was for the Russians to get their eager hands on real top secret U.S. documents that could be used to advance Russian military aviation programs, but those hapless UFO investigators would receive nothing but faked garbage from their Soviet handlers, such as – you’ve got it - the Majestic 12 documents. Maybe, the Marilyn document, too . It’s important to note there is evidence to support this 1970s/1980s “dangling carrot” theory in relation to the Majestic 12 documents and the Russians, as we’ll now see.

Chapter 26: “This Cannot be Authenticated”
In 1999, Gerald K. Haines – in his position as the historian of the National Reconnaissance Office - wrote a paper titled “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90.” It’s now in the public domain as a result of FOIA rules. Haines’ paper largely detailed the history of how and why the CIA became interested and involved in the phenomenon of UFOs. Although Haines covered a period of more than forty years, I’ll bring your attention to one particular section of his paper which is focused on the 1970s-1980s. Haines wrote:
“During the late 1970s and 1980s, the Agency continued its low-key interest in UFOs and UFO sightings. While most scientists now dismissed flying saucers reports as a quaint part of the 1950s and 1960s, some in the Agency and in the Intelligence Community, shifted their interest to studying parapsychology and psychic phenomena associated with UFO sightings. CIA officials also looked at the UFO problem to determine what UFO sightings might tell them about Soviet progress in rockets and missiles and reviewed its counterintelligence aspects.”
The Soviets, then, were masking their secret chemical- rocket tests by spreading false and fantastic tales of aliens and Flying Saucers. Haines also noted something that is absolutely key to the story this book tells, and particularly so with regard to the Majestic 12 papers and the Speriglio document: “Agency analysts from the Life Science Division of OSI and OSWR officially devoted a small amount of their time to issues relating to UFOs. These included counterintelligence concerns that the Soviets and the KGB were using U.S. citizens and UFO groups to obtain information on sensitive U.S. weapons development programs (such as the Stealth aircraft), the vulnerability of the U.S. air-defense network to penetration by foreign missiles mimicking UFOs, and evidence of Soviet advanced technology associated with UFO sightings [italics mine].”
Espionage and Majestic 12

If the combined intelligence community found anything more about Majestic 12 documents in the late 1980s, then it is yet to appear under the FOIA. We do know something of deep interest though, thanks to a man named Richard L. Huff. He served as Bureau Co-Director within the Office of Information and Privacy. In correspondence with him, Huff informed me of the existence of an FBI “Main File” on Majestic 12, now in what is termed “closed status.”
The title of the file is not something along the lines of “Potentially leaked document” “Hoaxed document;” or “Questionable document,” as one might imagine given the strange story detailed in this chapter. Rather, the file title is nothing less than – wait for it – “Espionage .” While we’re admittedly forced to speculate, that one eye-opening word alone strongly suggests that the Majestic 12 saga really did revolve around those very same components that surface in the pages of this chapter: spies, counterintelligence operations, the Bill Moore-Falcon situation, the words of Gerald K. Haines, and the interference of the Russians. And espionage . This tells us that even

if the Majestic 12 documents were hoaxed, there was a connection between the papers and secret programs that involved espionage-based operations of both the United States and Russia. No wonder U.S. intelligence was looking for everything they could on Majestic 12.
“This Cannot be Authenticated as an Official DoD Document”

In 2014, there was yet another development in the controversy surrounding Majestic 12: the U.S. Department of Defense declassified a previously top-secret file on what was known during the Cold War as Project Pandora. To a significant degree, the program was focused on Cold War secrets of the Russians and how microwaves can affect the mind and body to dangerous harmful degrees. It’s a fascinating dossier that dates back decades. It’s a lengthy file, too, running to nearly 500 pages, and is comprised of a number of notable documents. But here’s the weird thing, the document contains a copy of the controversial Majestic 12 documents on the Roswell UFO crash of 1947. Of interest, the copy of the document in the Pandora file has a hand-written note on it stating that: “This cannot be authenticated as an official DoD document.”
Logic suggests that the message was probably written around the end of 1988, which is when both the Air Force and the FBI were busily adding near-identical messages to their copies of the Majestic 12 documents. Exopaedia notes of the Pandora program that, in the early 1960s, “…the CIA discovered that the U.S. embassy in Moscow was ‘bombarded’ with EMR (electromagnetic radiation). The signal was composed of several frequencies. The Pandora Project was intended to investigate and gather data on this Russian experiment. The embassy personnel was not informed of the existence of the beam, or of the Pandora project.”
Exopaedia continues that, “the signal was intended to produce blurred vision and loss of mental concentration. Investigation on the effects on the embassy personnel, however, showed that they developed blood composition anomalies and unusual chromosome counts. Some people even developed a leukemia-like blood disease.”
What we have here is a file on a program that dates back to the early 1960s and which was focused on major U.S. government concerns that the Soviets were up to no good – as was clearly the case. But, even so, that still does not provide the answer to an important question. Why is a very controversial and questionable document on dead aliens and crashed UFOs contained in a Department of Defense file on an old Cold War-era operation instigated by the Russians? Attempts on my part – between 2014 and 2018 - to use the Freedom of Information Act to get the answers have failed to reveal anything of note. In fact, of anything in the slightest .
From New Mexico to Norway

Now, onto two more examples that show how the UFO subject – and specifically, the crashed UFO issue – was used by America’s intelligence community to outdo the Russians when it came to disinformation programs. One of the most controversial UFO events occurred (or didn’t) in Hart Canyon, Aztec, New Mexico in March 1948. In many respects, the case can be seen as Roswell’s “little brother.” An alien spacecraft was said to have crashed in the canyon, killing the diminutive creatures inside; they were whisked away by the military. See what I mean about the

Roswell parallels? Writer Frank Scully was so enamored by the story he wrote his very own full- length book on the subject in 1950 titled Behind the Flying Saucers . It became a smash-hit.
Working along with Scully was a man named Silas Newton. He was a conman, millionaire, oil entrepreneur, and someone who had crossed paths with both the cops and the FBI on a few occasions, mainly because of his intricate plots to swindle just about anyone he could. Newton knew the UFO subject was taking off, so he thought of ways to earn money from it – which is why he cozied up to Scully. And vice-versa. There is, however, a far more fascinating story to all of this.
By his own admittance, and a couple of years after the Aztec story surfaced in Frank Scully’s book, Newton was clandestinely visited by two representatives of “a highly secret U.S. Government entity,” as it was worded. Those same agents of the military told Newton, in no uncertain terms, they knew his Aztec story was nonsense. Amazingly, however, they wanted Newton to keep telling the tale to just about anyone and everyone who would listen. This caused CIA guy, Karl Pflock, to ponder on an amazing possibility: “Was this actually nothing to do with real saucers but instead some sort of psychological warfare operation [italics mine]?”
Despite all of this having occurred in the early 1950s, it sounds very much like the shenanigans that went down with Bill Moore in 1980.
When a Story of a Crashed UFO is a “Plant”

For years, stories have surfaced claiming that in 1952 – the same year Silas Newton got that strange visit from the U.S. military – a UFO slammed to the ground on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. Particularly interesting is a National Security Agency document that tells the story of the fatal crash and the recovery of a craft from another planet. The NSA’s copy of this previously classified document is very slightly different to copies of the same document that have been declassified by the U.S. Air Force, the Department of State, and the U.S. Army. Someone in the NSA – unfortunately, we don’t know who – identified the Spitsbergen story in the document as being a “plant.” As for who secretly seeded the story, and why, well, that’s another matter entirely. Maybe U.S. intelligent agents planted the story to try and further have the Russians believe that the U.S. government was back-engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft when it really wasn’t. On the other hand, the “planters” may have been the Soviets themselves, trying to achieve something almost identical, but aimed squarely at the White House, the CIA, and the Pentagon.
Jack Brewer, who runs The UFO Trail blog, says of all this amazing chicanery concerning the Spitsbergen saucer saga of 1952: “It should be a forgone conclusion at this point that the UFO topic was exploited by the global intelligence community for a variety of purposes from one operation and era to the next. The consequences might indeed be significant and far-reaching.”

Conclusions
After all the smoke and mirrors we’ve encountered thus far, should we now be looking at the Marilyn story through the perspectives of distinctly suspicious-looking eyes? Or does everything about the Speriglio document tell a true story of murder, power gone wild, and some of the U.S. government’s most guarded secrets? What about the Russians, Dan Salter, Lee Israel, Timothy Cooper, and the rest of the gang? Yep, you know what time it is: it’s time for me to come to a conclusion. The answers should be good, too!
In my mind, there’s zero doubt that the story of Marilyn, the CIA, aliens, the Kennedys, and UFOs is the most complicated and longstanding case I’ve ever investigated and, that’s over the course of more than twenty-five years, on and off. What began as a study of a one-page document took me down some incredibly weird pathways – and put me in touch with people who ranged from the paranoid to the insightful and from the fascinating to the gullible. Liars and fantasy-prone types were probably involved, too, but unfortunately, it’s hard to say who should fall into this or that category. There were the genuinely intriguing players in the story, and those who did their best to resolve it all, such as Don Burleson.
As for the document itself, many might say the most likely scenario is that it was created by someone in the UFO research community; maybe to give the scene a bit of excitement. Or, possibly, that the very same Ufologist planned on jumping out of the shadows while simultaneously shouting “Gotcha!” and rubbing their hands with absolute glee about what a bunch of gullible people Ufologists are. History, however, has shown that neither of those two scenarios played out in such a fashion.
Before this book you’re reading right now, only one other person has written a book on the Speriglio document, the aforementioned Don Burleson. Paul Davids’ documentary, Marilyn Monroe Declassified , only included a small amount of material on the document and its contents – and near the very end of it. Here and there, you can find references to the document online. A number of articles have been written about it all; some online and others in magazines. A few people have lectured on the story. Beyond that? To be honest, not much at all. Ryan and Bob Wood addressed the case now and again. Bob’s book, Alien Viruses, runs to 311 pages. There are, though, only twelve lines in the book on the Marilyn document. As for Ryan Wood, in Majic Eyes Only , he doesn’t make a nod to the document in the slightest. Both, though, were very intrigued by it. Milo Speriglio never made a single move to get a book deal out of the “UFOs and Marilyn” mystery. Now, let’s look at another theory, that of the Russians being at the helm.
The idea that the Soviets, in the 1980s, quietly and carefully fed American ufologists – who also happened to work in sensitive arms of the U.S. government – bogus stories and faked documents concerning UFOs, in return for real, highly-classified American secrets, is fascinating. CIA documentation revealed by Gerald K. Haines – in his position as the historian of the National Reconnaissance Office – shows that such a scenario really did play out. There’s also the important factor of the FBI’s 1987-1988 investigation of the Majestic 12 documents being

titled “Espionage.” The word alone itself tells us a lot. Perhaps, the Speriglio document was the work of Russian intelligence, part of an operation that was aborted and found its way – somehow – to Timothy Cooper in 1992. Or, perhaps, the situation was the polar opposite; that we fed the Speriglio document to the Russians, who may not have fallen for whatever the ruse might have been and kicked it all the way back to Washington, D.C.
What about those “constructs” that Thomas Cantwheel claimed were circulated to prevent American citizens from getting arrested for having classified material in their hands? Well, the problem here is we can’t even prove there ever was a Cantwheel. Cooper said he met him once and that was it. Maybe, he was really Albert Collins. Or, some other, old, wizened guy, ordered by his employers in the CIA – or some other agency - to perform one last operation before retirement or old age took him.
Let’s now have a look at Lee Israel. She certainly fit the picture. She was a skilled forger of documents, someone who had correspondence with the CIA, and someone who had written about Dorothy Kilgallen, Howard Rothberg, and the Kennedys, all of whom are mentioned in the Speriglio document.
There is, also, the most incredible scenario of all; that the Speriglio document is the real thing. That Marilyn really was killed because she knew the truth about UFOs. Jose Bolaños told Anthony Summers that, in relation to Marilyn, something would “one day shock the whole world.” Even though I had my suspicions about Daniel Salter’s words to me on Marilyn, he certainly knew something, particularly so in relation to Kenneth Battelle and his friendship with Marilyn. How about the CIA file on Milo Speriglio I acquired? The man was definitely being watched for his writing and research concerning Marilyn. Also, there was “James” who worked out at Area 51. He provided fascinating information on how the document had a connection to the 1962 novel, Seven Days in May – and how the movie version of the book played a nod in the direction of Roswell, New Mexico. All of that makes for head-spinning situations.
I thought about ending this Conclusions section with the words of the late sci-fi writer Arthur
C. Clarke. Of another famous mystery, that of the loch Ness Monster, Clarke said: “If you want my personal opinion, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I believe in Nessie.” To a degree, that’s how I feel about the Speriglio document. Maybe it’s genuine. Perhaps it isn’t. That’s not a cop-out or an example of sitting on the fence. All I can say for sure is that my investigation is not at its end. As long as new leads and threads keep coming along, I’ll still be looking for the answers to the most important question in this story: was Marilyn Monroe killed because of aliens?
