Publisher's Personal Note: A Personal Note from UFO Review Publisher Timothy Green Beckley

Timothy Green Beckley expresses his excitement about his new book, "MJ-12 & THE RIDDLE OF HANGAR 18," which he claims is being printed in a secret location due to fears of suppression by "powers that be." He discusses long-standing rumors about government recovery of crashed UFOs and alien bodies, particularly at Hangar 18 in Dayton, Ohio. Beckley also mentions a recent claim by a government agent about an ongoing decade-long exchange program with extraterrestrials, from which humanity has supposedly learned much about science and technology, though this information remains classified as a "Cosmic Watergate."

Beckley states that his research is complete and invites readers to explore the possibilities with him. He believes the information he has uncovered may be shocking but asserts that Americans have a right to know. He assures readers that copies of the book will be distributed widely to ensure its release, with refunds offered if distribution is halted. The book is an expanded version of a previous booklet, now over 200 pages, featuring newly released CIA and other government documents.

Suppressed C.I.A. Documents Prove U.S. Possesses Remains of U.F.O.'s & Alien Beings

This article asserts that for years, rumors persisted about the U.S. government possessing crashed alien spacecraft and their occupants. It claims that recently obtained CIA, FBI, and State Department documents verify that this "ABOVE TOP-SECRET scientific discovery" has been hidden from the public due to the radical new technology involved. The article details how, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, military units collected wreckage and alien bodies from crashes in the Southwestern U.S., storing them at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Hangar 18. It notes that even Senator Barry Goldwater was denied access.

The article highlights the impact of the Freedom of Information Act, which allowed civilian researchers to obtain classified documents. It mentions a "tug-of-war" between government branches over access to these materials, citing a memo from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover demanding access. The article introduces "OPERATION MAJESTIC-12" (MJ-12), a highly classified operation responsible directly to the President, tasked with managing the technical and sociological aspects of crashed UFOs and aliens. It claims MJ-12 continues to exist and is responsible for establishing an ongoing relationship with UFO beings.

"MJ-12 & THE RIDDLE OF HANGAR 18" is described as a 200-page report containing reproductions of classified documents, accounts from a U.S. astronaut who chased UFOs, and details about alien autopsy reports. It also mentions drawings of alien beings and extraterrestrial spacesuits. The article teases information about a UFO being shot at over New York's Central Park, a secret military base in Nevada where aliens are allegedly housed, and a potential backfiring "deal" with ETs leading to human abductions.

Crash of the Space Ships

This excerpt from the book "MJ-12 & THE RIDDLE OF HANGAR 18" by Timothy Green Beckley details astronaut Gordon Cooper's public statement about a crashed UFO and recovered alien occupants. Cooper expressed belief in the credibility of such stories and wished for qualified people to investigate them. Researcher Lee Spiegel contacted Cooper, who admitted to holding back information to avoid raising official eyebrows.

The article also presents evidence from movie producer Peter Kares, who claims to have spoken with individuals with military backgrounds who verified reports of crashed UFOs and their remains being kept secret. Kares recounts a story of an ex-Air Force pilot who witnessed a UFO being carted away and was subsequently harassed. He also mentions a Colonel who claimed to have seen a UFO in storage. Kares discusses a film taken of UFOs traveling at high speeds, which the government initially denied existed.

Charles Wilhelm, executive director of the Ohio UFO Investigators League, shares an account from a radar electronics expert who allegedly witnessed a film showing a disc-shaped object and three small alien bodies. The technician estimated the craft to be 15-18 feet in diameter, silver or light gray, with a smooth surface and a ramp. The interior was described as having no visible instruments, only levers. The three bodies were approximately five feet tall, with larger heads, longer fingers, Oriental-looking eyes, and wore yellow uniforms with black trim.

NASA Knows!

This section reiterates astronaut Gordon Cooper's claim of NASA personnel having contact with "creatures on board UFOs." Researcher Robert Barry's article, "The Surviving Aliens," is cited, where a NASA official allegedly disclosed that the U.S. government had attempted to communicate with surviving UFOnauts from wreckage.

Ricky Hilberg, a UFO investigator, recounts a meeting with a NASA employee who revealed startling information. The employee, referred to as "Jerry," had been experiencing impressions of mental contact from UFO-related entities and was preparing a van with electronic instruments to investigate UFO sightings. Jerry, an engineer at NASA's Lewis Research Center, claimed that NASA possesses at least one UFO and has learned a lot from it. He stated that leaks about NASA's UFO project were verbal, with no documents filtering down.

Confirmation from the Academic Community

Retired Professor Robert Carr of the University of South Florida claims that in 1948, military personnel recovered 12 crew members from a UFO crash near Aztec, New Mexico. He states that autopsies were performed on these human-like beings, who were described as 3-4 feet tall with yellow-whitish hair and blue eyes. Carr, who is reluctant to discuss the matter with the un-open-minded, has shared this information with UFO investigator Gray Barker.

Soviet Mysteries - The View from Moscow

This article by A. Hovni discusses ancient riddles such as the Maya calendar, old maps of Antarctica, and flying vehicles in ancient India, attributing these topics to Soviet popular science writer Alexander A. Gorbovsky. Gorbovsky's book, "A Book of Hypotheses," published in Moscow, explores these mysteries. The article highlights Gorbovsky's more sober approach, suggesting that advanced knowledge known to ancients was lost over time, rather than direct extraterrestrial visitation.

• Key riddles discussed include:
• Data Known to Ancient Astronomers: Comparisons of Mayan astronomical data with modern measurements, and knowledge of celestial cycles.
• How did our Ancestors Conceive of the Earth: Ancient texts from India, Egypt, Greece, and America describing a spherical Earth and heliocentric theory.
• How Did the Earth Come into Being: Ancient cosmologies suggesting the planet originated from sea.
• The Origin of Different Languages: Theories on a primeval proto-language, referencing the Tower of Babel and linguistic theories.

• Hidden Knowledge: Review of how metallurgical, astronomical, and cartographic knowledge was preserved secretly, mentioning the Jewish Kabbalah and Roger Bacon's anticipations of future discoveries.

The article also touches upon a "Weapon of the Fury of the Gods" and mentions the work of Nikita Bichturin regarding ancient routes to America.

Secret Prophecy of Fatima Revealed!

The article describes the "Phenomena of the Falling Sun" on October 13, 1917, where the sun appeared to spin and descend, witnessed by 70,000 people. It also notes the eerie coincidence of Pope John Paul II being shot on May 13, 1981, the same date as the first apparition, and his belief that the Virgin Mary saved him.

The article discusses the "photographic proof" of the Virgin Mary and the growing devotion to her in the 20th century. It also mentions that the third prophecy of Fatima, when opened in 1960, reportedly caused the Pope to feel sick.
