Section 4- Counterintelligence

 This section is all about some documents known as the MJ-12 papers.  They are papers that are allegiedly written about secret meeting with Truman about Extraterresterials.  Some believe these papers were falsified while others believe them to be genuine. 

Chapter 31 begins with the events that cause Phil Klass to become involved with the government's surveillance of  Paul Bennowitz.' First he skimmed a copy of John G. Fuller's book.Incident at Exeter 


He started to review the information in the book.  The published his findings in Aviation Week. He then reviewed the 500 sightings in the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and became an expert on UFOs.
This led to a dinner with Bennett Cerf and Frank Sinatra for Thanksgiving. Klass talked with them about UFOs and then Random House published his book, UFOs: The Public Deceived, in 1968.

Klass, then was on the case of verifying the MJ-12 documents.  "He wrote that 'Either' ...' the documents were 'the biggest news story of the past two milliennia or one of the biggest cons ever attempted against the public...'"

Bill Moore was also invvenstigating the MJ documents are felt that the the verification or falsification of the documents would set up whether UFO sighting would be taken seriously or as a joke for years to come. Using his "The Philadelphia Experiment" money, in 1979 he moved to Arizona so he could write about UFOs all the time. Moore became interested in UFOs after listening to a speaker at his astronomy club and reading the book "Behind the Flying Saucers" by Frank Scully.

Bill Moore and Charles Berlitz wrote and published the book "The Roswell Incident" in 1980.  
While on doing radio interviews to promote his book, Moore was contacted by someone who said "You're the only person we've ever heard who seems to be on the right track"  This is how he met a person who became known as Falcon. Falcon was allegedly a person high up in the intelligence community.  He made a deal with Moore.  If Moore helped him find out about Project Beta, his organization would help him with research
