Majestic 12 Alien Recovery Control Group

Majestic 12 became powerful because it gave UFO secrecy a governing structure. Roswell had already supplied the crash. The Cold War had already supplied the secrecy. The military-industrial state had already supplied the architecture of compartmentation. What MJ-12 added was management. In that reading, the flying saucer mystery was never scattered across disconnected officers, bases, and intelligence files. It was centralized. A dozen men, or a name that stood in for them, became the symbolic answer to one irresistible question: if something extraordinary really crashed, who took control of it?
