MAGNET, PROJECT
A project established on 2nd December 1950 to look into magnetic theory relating to UFO Propulsion. The Head Engineer Wilbert Smith stated in an interim report dated 25th June 1952: "If, as appears evident, the Flying Saucers are emissaries from some other civilisation, and actually do operate on magnetic principles, we have before us the Fact that we have missed something in magnetic theory but have a good indication of the direction in which to look for the missing quantities. It is therefore strongly recommended that work on Project Magnet be continued and expanded to include experts in each of the various fields involved in these studies".

MAJESTIC
The highest security level known, higher than the Atom Bomb and effectively thirty-eight levels higher than Top Secret due to the compartmentalization of information. There are allegedly over thirty compartments of Top Secret which means that if you have a Top Secret clearance, it doesn't mean that you have access to all Top Secret documents, you must require the "need to know". Documents that require the "need to know" are classified as Top Secret xxx, where xxx can be any one of over thirty code names. Documents about S-4/AREA 51 happenings are classed as "Majestic".

MAJESTIC-12
MJ-12 (standing for "Majestic Twelve") mystery was sparked off with the 1987 publication of an alleged briefing document from ex-US President Truman to president-elect Eisenhower in November 1953. The document dealt with government knowledge about UFOs, aliens, and above Top Secret projects.

It listed the twelve members as Dr Lloyd Berkner, Dr Detlev Bronk, Dr Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, Gordon Gray, Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Dr Jerome Hunsaker, Dr Donald Menzel, General Robert Montague, Rear Admiral Sidney Souers, General Nathan Twining and General Hoyt Vandenberg. MJ-12 (also known as Majic-12, Majority-12, Majesty-12) is allegedly a Top Secret research and development - intelligence operation set up by and answerable to the US President. All thirteen members had died by the time the briefing document was publicized, so none of the details could be checked out. What could be verified was the document's authenticity, and when it was found that the signature on the briefing document was identical in ratio to a 1947 memo from President Truman to Vannevar Bush and the briefing document was proved to be a fake.

However the MJ-12 controversy still rumbled on with people saying that although the document has been proved to be a piece of DISINFORMATION, parts of it must therefore be true. The document touched upon the ROSWELL CASE, as well as PROJECTS SIGN, GRUDGE and BLUE BOOK and KENNETH ARNOLD's sighting of nine flying saucers, all of which have been proved to be true by UFO researchers.

Ufologists were split as to whether there ever was a Majestic 12. When ROBERT LAZAR revealed that his work was classified as MAJESTIC, it added weight to the opinion that there may have indeed been such an organization. Opinions differ as to what MJ-12 could be if it exists, some say it was a simple committee that evaluated the UFO reports that were siphoned out of PROJECT BLUE BOOK, while others say that they are running the CIA, FBI, the world's drugs market and are planning to take over the world and rule in partnership with the GREYS.

MAJESTY
Code word for the President of the United States, used for communications regarding the MJ-12.

MAJI
MAJORITY AGENCY FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE. All information, disinformation, and intelligence is gathered and evaluated by this agency. The agency is responsible for all disinformation and operates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA, and the Defense Intelligence Agency. This is a very powerful organization and all alien projects are under its control. MAJI is only responsible to MJ-12. Operates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA and the DIA.

MAJIC
Stands for MAJI controlled and is the clearence and classification of all connected material, projects and information involving aliens.

MAJORITY, OPERATION
Majority is the name of the operation responsible for every aspect, project, and consequence of alien presence on earth.

MANOEUVRE
(MA RATING) See VALLEE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.

MARFA LIGHTS
Lightballs bouncing around in the air and changing colors. Named after the town they first was sighted in, Marfa, Texas. There are many theories on what they are, like swampgas, carlights, ball lightning and of course somkind of alien space ships.

MARIANI, DENNIS
According to Robert Lazar Dennis Mariani was his boss at the Area S-4 when he worked on the recovery of daptured alien crats.

MARCEL, JESSE
Major Jesse A. Marcel a staff intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office at the Army Air Force base at Roswell Field was the first military man to observe the crash debris on the site of Mac Brazels ranch.

Marcel collected as much of the debris as he could and then drove back to Roswell army base to show his superiors. It was Marcel who with the authorisation of Colonel William Blanchard that released to the press the story that the USAF had captured a flying disk.

This story was soon covered up by General Roger Ramey who informed the press that all they had captured was a broken weather balloon. Marcel was forced to go through with a press conference and say that he had made a mistake on the identification of the debris.

Years later Marcel went one record to describe the actual debris that he had found, and also the fact that he had shown his family the debris before he had reported it to his superiors. He described the debris as follows.

"There was all kinds of stuff - small beams about three eighths or half inch square with some sort of hieroglyphics on them that nobody could decipher. These looked something like balsa wood, and were of about the same weight, except that they were not wood at all. They were very hard, although flexible, and would not burn. There was a great deal of unusual parchment-like substance which was brown in colour and extremely strong, and a great number of small pieces of a metal like tinfoil, except that it wasn't tinfoil."

Marcel also claimed that he saw no bodies amongst the debris, however, it is now widely accepted that the main part of the craft did not crash on the Brazel ranch.

Marcel proved a very strong witness due to his excellent military career. He has served as a bombardier, waist-gunner and pilot, has logged 468 hours of combat fighting in B-24 aircraft and was awarded five air medals for shooting down enemy aircraft in World War II. Towards the end of the war he was attached to the 509th Bomb Wing, an elite military group for which all those involved required high-security clearances.

After the Roswell incident he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and assigned to a Special Weapons Program.

MARCEL JR., DR. JESSE
Son of Maj. Jesse Marcel (above) and now makes personnal appearances at UFO conventions describing his experiences as a young boy when his father brought home pieces of the "Alien Spaceship" from the Roswell crash.

MARCINIAK, BARBARA J
. Barbara J. Marciniak is an internationally known trance channel from North Carolina. She began channeling in 1988. The strength and purity of the message she is bringing very quickly captured the hearts of many seekers looking to be all that they can be. Barbara has channeled at various Expos and for groups across the United States, in Peru and in Germany.

MARS, THE FACE ON
In the mid 1980's, scientists, reviewing remotely sensed imagery of the Martian surface, came upon a geologic feature that looked very much like a human face.

These 'structures' were discovered on several frames of film, and show the 'face' in an area of Mars known as Cydonia. Several people claim that NASA has other film footage which shows the face in much more detail but they are refusing to make public this film.

Several people including Richard Hoagland, have stated that other structures are also visible such as cities and pyramids. He claims that the face could not have been formed by nature alone, and uses this as a claim of an ancient civilization.

Other skeptics claim that the face is just an unfortunate coincidence. However when the image was digitally enhanced by the work of Dr Mark Carlotto the 'face' does look very convincing.

All should be revealed in the next couple of years as NASA is planning another mission to Mars and this will hopefully answer the question once and for all.

MARTIAN ASTRONAUT
A UFO crash which occurred on April 17, 1897, in the town of Aurora, Texas, achieved fame more long-lived than the town itself. The incident, as reported in the April 19 edition of the Dallas Morning News is in it's entirety and due to the rarity is as follows:

Martian Astronaut Buried in Texas Cemetery
By R. J. Brown, Editor-in-Chief

About 6 o'clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing around the country. It was traveling due north and much nearer the earth than before. Evidently some of the machinery was out of order, for it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and gradually settling toward the earth. It sailed over the public square and when it reached the north part of town it collided with the tower of Judge Proctor's windmill and went into pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground, wrecking the windmill and water tank and destroying the judge's flower garden. The pilot of the ship is supposed to have been the only one aboard and, while his remains were badly disfigured, enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world.

Mr. T.J. Weems, the U.S. Army Signal Service officer at this place and an authority on astronomy gives it as his opinion that the pilot was a native of the planet Mars. Papers found on his person -- evidently the records of his travels -- are written in some unknown hieroglyphics and cannot be deciphered. This ship was too badly wrecked to form any conclusion as to its construction or motive power. It was built of an unknown metal, resembling somewhat a mixture of aluminum and silver, and it must have weighed several tons. The town is today full of people who are viewing the wreckage and gathering specimens of strange metal from the debris. The pilot's funeral will take place tomorrow.

MARTIANS
Inhabitants of the planet Mars, both human and non-human, including the alleged inhabitants of the two Martian 'moons' (which many believe to be artificially-hollowed asteroids, one of which -- Phobos -- is said to be under the control of the "original" Greys, or self-reproducing Greys which are the "hosts" for the Grey "clones" which operate from various space stations that are disquised as planetoids.

It is from this "carrier" ships that the abduction, implantation, programming, mutilation, infiltration and other projects are carried out against planet earth). It has also been suggested that thousands of years ago the surface of LUNA and MARS were much more 'habitable', that the surfaces of these bodies may have been decimated after passing through the asteroid belt or an 'asteroid storm' (consisting of debris which 'may' have been torn from a planet which apparently existed between Mars and Jupiter at one time -- possibly destroyed by a close encounter with another planetary body in the tradition of Velikovsky's theories). It is believed that ancient 'ruins', possibly thousands of years old, have been seen on both 'planets' and that these attest to such a cataclysm (Evadamic-Draconian).

McDONALD, JAMES
Dr James McDonald was a senior physicist at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and a Professor in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Arizona.

In 1967 he tried to get NASA to take on the responsibility of UFO reports ,he reported: "Curiously, I have said this both in NASA and fairly widely reported public discussion before scientific colleagues, yet the response from NASA has been nil...Even attempting to get a small group within NASA to undertake a study group approach to the available published effort seems to have generated no response.

I realise, of course, that there may be semi-political considerations that make it awkward for NASA to fish in these waters at present, but if this is what is holding up serious scientific attention to the UFO problem at NASA this is all the more reason Congress had better take a good hard look at the problem and reshuffle the deck....I have learned from a number of unquotable sources that the Air Force has long wished to get rid of the burden of the troublesome UFO problem and has twice tried to 'peddle' it to NASA - without success". Not long after McDonald committed suicide in strange circumstances.

MEIER, BILLY
Swiss farmer Eduard (Billy) Meier who has several hundred beautiful color photos and a few home movies of what he claims are crafts from the Pleiades, some 500 light-years away. Despite the vast distance, Meier says it takes his friends only several hours to make the trip. Meier says his extraterrestrial friends often take him aboard their craft, which can travel backward or forward in time.

MEN IN BLACK
Beginning in the late 1950s, reports surfaced of strange men arriving, unannounced, sometimes alone, sometimes in twos or in threes, at the homes of particular UFO witnesses usually before they had reported their sightings to anyone. Often seeming to know more than a stranger should know about the witnesses, MIB caution against reporting their sightings or close encounters. MIB typically walk with a strange limp, speak in mechanical monotones or annoying sing-songs, wear black suits and black shoes, often arrive driving black cars, and convey an overall eerie 'otherworldly' aura.

MENZEL, DONALD H.
Director of the Harvard College Observatory, he is chiefly remembered for his dismissive statements and books on UFOs, all of which, he said, could be explained in mundane terms.

He was allegedly part of the infamous Majestic-12 panel and is role was that of an astronomical consultant. He was deeply involved with the National Security Agency, and help a Top Secret Ultra security clearance.
