Because of the ever-growing acceptance in our society of the existence of Spaceships from Outer Space visiting our planet it is only natural that more and more obvious fakes are getting more and more emphatic publicity. One such obvious example are the MJ-12 Documents, allegedly signed by President Truman. This is doing the rounds in most UFO documentaries – including Ancient Aliens that considers it to be of Biblical Magnitude as a “dossier of evidence”

The MJ-12 documents were most probably forged by pranksters within the defense department familiar with its nomenclature and vocabulary and they all had a good laugh – the only trouble is that the prank backfired and the joke turned serious and is just going on and on and on and on (just like all other “fantastic beliefs”)

Below is a clip of Philip Klass from an old Discovery channel documentary demonstrating that the signature of Harry Truman as found on the MJ-12 Documents is really only a photocopy of his signature. This information has been around for a very long time but as we all know – nothing can sway the believers from their wishful thinking.
