It is about the Majestic-12 document with the highest level of secrecy, which contains the disaggregated information necessary for the national security of the United States.

Identification criteria

In general

If the UFO report meets to a large extent the criteria set out in Part I and the subsequent investigation of the phenomenon, then the researcher should ask what physical object or objects could serve as a stimulus for the report. The word "object" here also includes optical phenomena, such as reflections from clouds, halos, etc. Often, one or perhaps two solutions will be indicated in the nature of the message.

However, the word "solution" cannot be used in a scientific sense. The 'solution' in the work on UFOs means that the hypothesis that seems to be most likely has been reached and that it has given rise to the report. The following is a group of hypotheses or examples that should help you find a solution. It should be checked how many items from these criteria the report contains and how many of them are missing. Every effort must be made to recover the missing items as soon as possible. Each typical hypothesis will be concluded in a separate paragraph.

Aircraft

A. Face: From conventional types to circular or elliptical objects.

B. Size: According to current observations

C. Color: Silver to bright yellow (at night - black or colored lights).

D. Speed: In general, only angular velocities can be observed. Depending on the distance, small objects that exceed most of the sky in less than a minute can be excluded. Airplanes will not cross the main part of the sky in less than a minute, while the meteorites will certainly.

E. Formation: Two to twenty objects. At numbers larger than 20, they will probably be birds.

F. Traces in the sky: They may or may not exist (gas emissions).

G. Sound: No to loud, sudden or weak, depending on altitude.

H. The Flight Tracker: Stable, straight or slightly curved (not irregular, but may occur when approaching the headboard). Changes in direction at right angles and sudden turns or changes in aircraft altitude are ruled out.

Note: Although the report may indicate that this is an irregular flight, if we check other items, monitoring should continue based on the tendency to excite people's mental states and to exaggerate when observing course changes.

I. Length of observation: More than 15 seconds, generally in the order of a minute or two.

J. Illumination conditions: Night or Day.

K. Radar: It should display the normal appearance of the aircraft.

Balloons

A. Shape: Round, cigar or different.

B. Size: The balloons reach up to 100 feet, usually appear in the size of the peas held on the length of the arm.

C. Color: Silver, white or many shades. It may appear to be dark as if it were against the clouds.

D. Speed: A wide range of different speeds are excluded. In general, it is floating slowly, at constant speed.

E. Formation: One or a group.

F. Traces in the sky: None.

G. Sound: None.

H. Flight Tracker: Direct, with possible gradual rising or falling.

I. Observation time: Generally long. Note: Balloons may burst and disappear suddenly.

J. Illumination conditions: Night or day, especially at sunset.

K. Radar: No reflection, except the probe being carried.

Meteors

A. Shape: usually elongated.

B. Size: Determine by the size of the Moon.

C. Color: Shades of yellow with red, green or blue.

D. Speed: They fly a large part of the sky in a few seconds, except when they appear overhead.

E. Formation: In general, this is one object that can break into the spray of particles at the end of the trajectory. Occasionally (rarely) it occurs in a small group.

F. Trace in the sky: At night almost always a light tail, which can take up to half an hour (rarely). Meteors in the day are seen much less. During the day they leave a whitish to dark trace of smoke.

G. Sound: None, although occasionally reported humor (psychological impression).

H. Flight Tracker: Generally pointing downwards, but not necessarily sharply downwards. On rare occasions, a slight increase may be observed.

I. Observation time: The longest is reported for about 30 seconds, generally less than 10.

J. Illumination conditions: Day or night. Mostly the night.

K. Radar: Observing the meteorite is unlikely, but the trace the meteor has left is a good reflection element for the radar.

L. Other Appearance: The exceptionally bright meteor looks like a fiery ball. These are rare but extremely spectacular phenomena. Occasionally it was announced that they illuminate the surroundings clearly, like daylight.

Stars or planets

The planets of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are generally brighter than any star, but they can much less shine when they are close to the horizon. Stars are blinking a lot, near the horizon, they can create the impression of flashing light in many colors.

A. Shape: Point Light.

B. Size. You can never know.

C. Color: Usually yellow with variations of all rainbow colors.

D. Speed: Stars are noticeably moving overnight from east to west, but irregular movements are often reported. This effect is psychological, most people are unable to consider the point as a stationary object. Incidental turbulence in the upper atmosphere may cause the star to appear to have jumped (rarely), but in some way such a glimmer raises the impression of motion in many people.

Note: Just because the message says the light is moving does not exclude the possibility that it is a star if it is not a movement from one part of the sky to another in a relatively short time.

E. Formation: There are no groups of very bright stars, but the weak stars are grouped into well-known constellations.

Note: A message with 4 or 5 clear lights in the star group is excluded.

F. Trace in the sky: None.

G. Sound: None.

H. Flight Tracker: The star always describes the 24 clock circle around the sky pole, moving from east to west.

I. Observation time: When it is clear, the stars are always visible. Most stars rise above the horizons or stay in the sky during the night. The stars in the western horizon are falling, the stars in the east always rise upwards.

J. Illumination conditions: Visibility at night or at dusk.

K. Radar: No reflection.

Optical phenomena

There can be many things behind them. An initial investigation of the phenomenon should be performed to determine whether a material object or an optical phenomenon is more likely to be described. Optical phenomena that have been recorded as UFOs are based on reflections on clouds and layers of ice crystals (halo), like many types of phenomena. No group of optical phenomena can be determined to be representative of the whole class of phenomena.

There is no speed limit on optical phenomena, which can travel at incredible speeds, such as in the case of a search beacon on high clouds, up to stationary phenomena. These cases, if well reported, will almost always require follow-up. Their diversity and connection with conditions in a high atmosphere make these observations particularly scientifically valuable.

A. Shape: They are generally circular but may be elliptical or linear.

B. Size: As a star a great light glow.

C. Color: Usually yellow.

D. Speed: From stationary to fantastic.

E. Formation: None.

F. Trace in the sky: None.

G. Sound: None.

H. Flight: None.

I. Observation time: Short.

J. Illumination conditions: Day and night.

K. Radar: Without response. In special cases, the radar response will sometimes be associated with the unusual clouds and meteorological phenomena described in Minnaert's book "Light and Color in Nature."

L. Other characteristics: Sun with one to four sun reflections located along the halo circle at 90 degree intervals. Other news often refers to a bright planet or even a moon shining through light haze. Fata morgana occurs more often where the temperature changes in the atmosphere. If a visual phenomenon is suspected, a routine check of meteorological records should be performed to determine if such inversions exist.

Conclusion SOM1-01 Majestic-12

This SOM1-01 manual is based on photographs taken by an unknown person from the original printout. The negatives were sent by post on 7 March 1994 to Mr Don Berliner. Don provided copies of GAO images. He soon took the initiative to find out their authenticity. In November 1998, although unable to examine all the arguments, he tended not to regard SOM 1-01 as a true document.

Copies of the original images became the basis for this replica. It is very accurate and includes a faithful copy of several errors that were in the template. The 21 page appeared in the movie, but the 22-25 pages of the UFO manual were found in an unpublished FOIA document that was provided to Mr. Brian Parks of the Maxwell Air Force Base, with reference to handing over such material in an unlisted letter dated 14. January 1955.

This manual SOM 1-01 is now published and has been reprinted in the book “TOP SECRET / MAJIC” by Mr. Stanton T. Friedman. However, this version is incomplete, contains printing errors, and does not use the 6 x 9 inch replication that was used in the original.

Several arguments have been suggested for the problem of authenticity. The general opinion of those who have dealt with the manual is that there is no doubt that it is the right handbook used for the purposes stated therein.
