What if a secret group has been hiding alien contact since Roswell—and still controls the truth?
What if the biggest cover-up in human history isn’t a theory—it’s protocol?
In this explosive Divergent Files deep dive, we unravel the shadowy legacy of Majestic 12—a covert group allegedly formed after Roswell to suppress the truth about alien contact. From declassified documents to whistleblower testimony, we examine the fingerprints MJ-12 left across UFO history. Were they real? A disinformation trap? Or a prototype for modern black-budget secrecy?
We break down the Eisenhower briefing, the Truman memo, and the real-world officials allegedly involved—Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, CIA Director Hillenkoetter, and others. We explore the terrifying possibility that MJ-12 never disbanded but mutated into modern programs like USAPs, buried in defense contractor labs and beyond Congressional reach.
Is this group behind modern crash retrievals? Did they strike deals with non-human intelligence? And why does everything seem to lead back to the same shadow?
This isn’t just a cover-up. It’s a system. And it might still be running.
