Have you ever wondered why so many people in the UFO research community are so quick to shout "Cover-up!" and "Conspiracy!" to anyone who will listen? It's not just because of the Roswell Incident. Though Roswell is an important case, it is still just one of many instances of a government cover-up that may have begun years before any evidence for the deception was known to exist.

Most people are familiar with the story of rancher Mack Brazel finding the crashed saucer and alien bodies within several miles of the Roswell Army Air Force Base in July of 1947, but do you know what happened to the debris and bodies afterward? They were taken, according to insiders in the know, to Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, which had the proper refrigerated storage facilities necessary for preserving the alien bodies.

And how else did the government respond to the intrusion into US airspace by possibly hostile alien entities and their incomprehensibly advanced technology? By forming a panel of twelve experts, answering only to the president, called "Majestic Twelve," later abbreviated to "MJ-12." The panel included very high ranking generals, the secretary of defense at the time, James Forrestal (who shortly after MJ-12 was formed committed suicide while under care in a military hospital), as well as Dr. Donald H. Menzel, who would soon become a very publicly visible debunker of the UFO phenomenon as part of the government's campaign of ridicule and disinformation.

Timothy Green Beckley has done a wonderful job of telling the story of the MJ-12 group and the Riddle of Hangar 18 from several different angles at once. He has conducted numerous interviews with insiders and witnesses, some of whom had been threatened with death by government enforcers were they ever to go public with what they knew. But even beyond Beckley's excellent reportage, the book contains a wealth of classified documents (some of which were leaked by government whistleblowers while others were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act) so that the reader can actually see just what the believers in a government UFO cover-up base that belief on.

To interject a personal note, my father was a career Army officer who worked in many different intelligence positions. Though he does not himself believe in UFOs as alien spacecraft, when I showed him a copy of the book, he did offer the opinion that the top-secret documents reproduced in "MJ-12 and the Riddle of Hangar 18" at least LOOK believable in that they conform to the way such documents would appear in the real world. The formatting, the typefaces, the style and tone of how they're written--all those things would be very hard to fake and would at the very least require that someone on the inside was perpetrating a hoax.

In the two chapters that I contribute, I interviewed an expert in obtaining and vetting classified government documents named Ryan Wood. Wood told me that while there is always the possibility that some of the documents he has collected are government disinformation intended to function as a kind of "psychological warfare," he is much more concerned with authenticating the documents and what they have to say. The process is a long and difficult one, and the results are often mind blowing. For example, do some of the documents indicate that MJ-12 had a hand in the Kennedy assassinations? Are they so determined to maintain secrecy about the UFO phenomenon that they would not hesitate to murder even our own leaders?

In the present time, such ideas are still for the most part relegated to the "lunatic fringe," but Timothy Green Beckley's "MJ-12 and the Riddle of Hangar 18" may be an important step on the path to both exposing and validating some of the darkest secrets of this or any other era.

MJ-12 and the Riddle of Hangar 18: The New Evidence is the book to read if you really want to know what is going on behind the scenes concerning the UFO cover-up. This well-written book by "Mr UFO," Timothy Green Beckley, and "UFO Journalist" Sean Casteel, blows the cover completely off the hidden agenda of the U.S. government and military when it comes to UFOs and their extraterrestrial pilots. This fascinating book also comes with Top Secret MJ-12 papers that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a secret group within the government knew the truth about UFOs and aliens and kept it secret from the rest of the world. There is even an interesting document that reveals the possible involvement with the secret group MJ-12 and the JFK murder in Dallas.

Don't miss out on this incredible book.
