Operation Majestic refers to a supposed government project aimed at concealing the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrial involvement from the public. This operation is often linked with various conspiracy theories and is alleged to have deep roots in military and intelligence agencies. The notion of Operation Majestic gained prominence from claims made by individuals asserting insider knowledge of secret government undertakings related to UFOs.

Background[edit | edit source]

Operation Majestic, possibly the same thing as, related to, or run by Majestic 12, is often mentioned in discussions surrounding the U.S. government's alleged awareness and handling of UFO phenomena. Speculations include that this operation originated in the mid-20th century, supposedly tasked with safeguarding national security by managing and propagating misinformation about UFO-related events.

Allegations[edit | edit source]

Milton William Cooper, a notable figure in UFO and conspiracy circles, alleged the existence of a contingency plan named "MAJESTIC". This plan purportedly aimed to mislead both investigators and the public regarding the true nature of UFOs and any governmental engagement with such phenomena. Cooper claimed to have seen a list of operatives linked to this operation during his service with Naval Intelligence.^[1]

Popular Culture[edit | edit source]

Operation Majestic has been featured in various media, including television shows, books, and films, often depicted as a shadowy and powerful group with clandestine influence over UFO-related information and public perception. These portrayals have cemented its place as a prominent element in contemporary UFO mythology.

Criticism and Skepticism[edit | edit source]

While Operation Majestic holds a significant position in UFO lore, it has also been met with criticism and skepticism. Many skeptics question the validity of claims stemming from unverifiable sources or documents of dubious authenticity. However, within the context of fictional and speculative narratives, the concept remains a favorite subject of intrigue and debate.
