The Eisenhower Briefing Document (18 November 1952)
Lead · 18 November 1952 (surfaced December 1984) · Washington, D.C. (purported)
A purported Top Secret briefing for President-elect Eisenhower, dated 18 November 1952, that describes MJ-12 and the recovered craft. It reached producer Jaime Shandera on undeveloped film in December 1984. Its dates line up with Truman's appointment logs, and Ryan Wood ranks it among the strongest MJ-12 papers; the FBI's 'bogus' stamp and Klass's critique are recorded as commentary.
