Following on from the excellent post and commentary by u/Magog14 regarding the 1942 Los Angeles “air raid”, an authentic declassified document from U.S. military Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 26 February 1942 lines up with communications sent over the following 7 days from the Majestic Documents – adding further prove that most of these documents are indeed authentic themselves.
On page 15 of Timothy Good’s UFO “bible” Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Coverup, https://archive.org/details/B-001-014-055 the following information is found:
FOIA Document referenced:
The Majestic Documents has a response from FDR to Marshall, however this time the document is marked with a TOP SECRET classification. This is a common practice with sensitive information; because of the noise and the claim that 3 people died of heart attacks during the event, it would be near on impossible for the U.S. Army to deny the event occurred. A lower classification document, if required, could be disseminated to Allies and if push came to shove, declassified as a “limited hangout” to protect the higher classified technical details. A similar ploy was used for the Twining Memo, a document with Secret classification that was shared with Australia (referenced in Harry Turner’s 1971 report and declassified in 1978) and the Twining White Hot report, a Top Secret NOFORN document that wasn’t shared with other Allies. A modern example is Grant Lavac’s Five Eyes UAP Caucus Working Group FOIA document that suggested information shared at TS//SI/TK classification level, and John Greenewald’s NRO FOIA release that had UAP data at the TS//SI/TK//NOFORN classification level and not shared with the other Five Eyes.
This is the response from FDR to Marshall the following day (27th February 1942), noting here that the Cape Girardeau crash of 1941 had already occurred:
The following information regarding this document is from the Majestic Documents page:
This is the memo that links the UFO crashes with the Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942, since it occurred only three days earlier. It alludes to “atomic secrets learned from study of celestial devices” and authorizes “Dr. Bush to proceed with the project without further delay.” The reference to “this new wonder” is, to our knowledge, a unique phrase for the time. The writing of Source S-2 shows at the bottom of the page.

Also note General William “Wild Bill” Donovan is mentioned in this memo. Two of his OSS staff were living in Milan, Italy in June 1933 possibly heard and saw the Magenta Crash as it happened. This was James Jesus Angleton and his father Hugh.
A few days after Marshall received the response from FDR, he replied with the following on the 5th March 1942:
The information from the Majestic Documents regarding this document is as follows:
On March 5, 1942, George C. Marshall wrote a top-secret memo to the President, which states: “regarding the air raid over Los Angeles it was learned by Army G2 that Rear Admiral Anderson recovered an unidentified airplane off the coast of California with no bearing on conventional explanation… This Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources they are in all probability of interplanetary origin.” Marshall goes on to state: “As a consequence, I have issued orders to Army G2 that a special intelligence unit be created to further investigate the phenomenon and report any significant connection between recent incidents and those collected by the director of the office of Coordinator of Information.” The memo bears correct Office of Chief of Staff (OCS) file numbers and has “Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit” (IPU) typed on it at a later time by a different typewriter. It is logical to believe that this is the order that sets up the IPU.

We know through Timothy Good’s FOIA response that the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit was actually a “thing” because the U.S. Army confirmed it:
Relevance to the Majestic Documents
The following timeline of receipt of Majestic Documents was presented by Ryan Wood at the 2001 MUFON symposium (I have added the coloring and text in the bottom margin):
Ryan Wood took possession of the Majestic Documents from Timothy Cooper in late 2000. There is a discrepancy in this list – according to the metadata associated with the Marshall to Roosevelt Memo, it was actually Source S-2 that supplied these documents to Cooper and not Source S-3. In previous posts I have identified Thomas “Cy” Cantwell as Army CIC / IPU / CIA officer Boris Tarasoff, “Salina” as CIA Counterintelligence officer Anne Goodpasture (born in Celina, Tennessee in 1918), and Source S-1 as CIA Counterintelligence Special Investigations Group Deputy Director Newton “Scotty” Miler.
Boris Tarasoff was a Russian emigre who arrived in the United States in the early 1930s. His Russian language fluency was particularly valuable to the U.S. Army during WW2.
Note that in December 1945 Tarasoff “left” the Army Counterintelligence Corps to work for the Red Cross in Cleveland, Ohio. I believe this was in fact the cover story for employment with the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit at Wright Field (now Wright Paterson AFB) where the Army Air Material Command and General Nathan Twining was based. The information in that image comes from Tarasoff’s application to join the CIA in 1956, when he was deployed to Mexico City.
So why would Tarasoff, Goodpasture and Miler purposely leak these explosive documents that form the core of the Majestic Documents?
Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment. Tarasoff and his wife were the Russian linguists assigned to the CIA Station in Mexico City and transcribed the conversation that Lee Harvey Oswald had with the Russian and Cuban Consulates there in mid-1963. The audio files and transcript documents were the responsibility of the Station’s Counterintelligence officer, Ann Goodpasture. As Danny Sheehan u/NewParadigmInstitute pointed out on the Koncrete podcast, the CIA’s Mexico City station was supplying the money for the “triangular fire” Castro assassination team training grounds at Clint Murchison Snr’s ranch in Acuna, northern Mexico. As Sheehan explained, the money was skimmed from the Las Vegas casinos and driven to Miami where it was wired to the Bank of Mexico office in Mexico City, where the CIA officers would collect it and distribute it to the training team. They were cheerleaders for the assassination team and did everything they could to assist them. Imagine their horror when the target tasking switched from Castro to President John F. Kennedy on November 12, 1963 after JFK made it clear he was going to share knowledge of UFOs with the Soviets. In the weeks following JFK’s assassination, the FBI got involved and wanted to do voice comparison analysis on the tapes of Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico City against their own copies of his various FBI interrogations. Goodpasture DESTROYED the audio copies because the Mexico City personnel KNEW that someone impersonated Oswald at the consulates as part of the plan to assassinate CASTRO. Goodpasture, Tarasoff and the Mexico City CIA Station Chief Win Scott all knew that it would be hard to convince a grieving public that they had unwittingly facilitated the assassination team, so they did their best to cover the situation up. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover also knew the CIA had destroyed the evidence but kept this information secret to use as leverage at a later date.
The three CIA officers weathered the storm of the Warren Commission and appeared to have escaped suspicion. However, the Watergate Burglary bought their involvement back into the limelight when Cuban “Plumber” Bernard Barker was arrested at the scene with a large wad of cash in his pocket. Further investigation by the FBI revealed this cash was sequentially numbered, and as Sheehan explains, led straight to the Bank of Mexico branch in Mexico City. As Assistant FBI Director Mark Felt prepared to travel to Mexico City “to see what the hell was going”, Nixon had his famous discussion with H.R. Halderman in the Oval Office which later became known as the “Smoking Gun” tape, documented the initial stages of the Watergate coverup. On it, Nixon and Haldeman are heard formulating a plan to block investigations by having the CIA falsely claim to the FBI that national security was involved. In 1973, amid a government-wide panic caused by Watergate, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MJ-12 and MK-Ultra files destroyed, and this is how Scotty Miler (Source S-1) managed to snatch the “Burned Memo” from the document incinerator and save it as leverage in case his involvement in the JFK assassination came to light.
Watergate led directly to the Church Committee investigations, where once again Tarasoff, Goodpasture and Miler came under intense scrutiny – at one stage CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Angleton had Miler assist him on the stand to answer the Committee members’ questions regarding CIA activities. When asked about the MK-Ultra program by the Committee, CIA officers denied such a program existed. However, one document stored incorrectly in a filing system was found relating to finance of the MK-Ultra program. James Angleton, Scotty Miler and Angleton’s Deputy Director Raymond Rocca were all forced to resign from the CIA just before Christmas 1974. All three had known no other job, transitioning from the armed services directly after WW2.
The Church Committee uncovered more questions than answers, and when the Zapruder footage was first shown on TV on March 6, 1975 in Good Night America, after being stored by Life magazine out of view for almost twelve years. The footage showed the president’s head recoiling violently backwards inside the presidential limousine during the fatal shooting as Lee Harvey Oswald was more than 80 yards behind. The public, having more and more difficulty accepting the conclusions of the Warren Commission report, led members of Congress to ask for new investigations into the assassination, within the framework of a new Commission of Inquiry.
In September 1976, the United States House of Representatives voted 280–65 to establish the Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in order to investigate the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Tarasoff and his wife were both interviewed by the HSCA about their time in Mexico City and the circumstances surrounding the audio recordings of Lee Harvey Oswald that they transcribed. Anne Goodpasture was interviewed TWICE by the HSCA, because she was the person who erased the audio tapes of Oswald. Miler was interviewed again by the HSCA because of his role as Counterintelligence Special Investigations Group Deputy Director. Shortly before the assassination, Oswald’s CI/SIG-held 201 file was transferred to the Mexico City Headquarters desk. There, Goodpasture drafted the two now infamous communications that cause much suspicion of the CIA’s involvement in the Kennedy assassination. Although the two communications were drafted at the same time, the cable to CIA in Mexico City describes Oswald as 5’10″, 165 pounds, with light brown hair; whereas the teletype to the State Department, Navy and the FBI describes Oswald as being approximately 35 years old, 6’ tall, with an athletic build and a receding hairline. Why would Angleton’s people be collaborating with the Mexico City desk officer to mislead other agencies within the government unless they were in some measure trying to hide or protect Oswald’s identity?
Goodpasture’s testimonies in all three investigations were “sketchy” at best and investigators like Jefferson Morely and John Newman punched holes in her story during magazine interviews. It felt like the world was closing in on the spouseless, childless Goodpasture – however, her “father-like” colleague Boris Tarasoff decided to take some of the heat off Goodpasture. In October 1992, he started to drip feed documents he and the others had collected during their times as CIC – Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit and CIA Counterintelligence operatives to a person Scotty Miler knew through the Association of Former Intelligence Officers – a private investigator named Timothy Cooper. The last document Tarasoff delivered to Cooper was in July 1995, just 4 months prior to his death in November 1995.
The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, or the JFK Records Act, is a public law passed by the United States Congress, effective October 26, 1992. It directed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to establish a collection of records to be known as the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection. The final report of the act’s Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) partially credited the conclusions in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film JFK with the passage of the act. The ARRB stated that the film “popularized a version of President Kennedy’s assassination that featured U.S. government agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the military as conspirators.” The ARRB interviewed Goodpasture TWICE – once in December 1995 and again in April of 1998. In between those interviews, Goodpasture delivered to Cooper a series of documents that included the Twining White Hot report that Tarasoff had kept since his IPU days. Born in Celina, Tennessee in 1918, Goodpasture used the pseudonym “Salina” when delivering the documents to Timothy Cooper, stating that they were from her “father”, which was in fact Tarasoff.
With the knowledge that the Church Committee and HSCA testimonies would one day be declassified and implicate him and his CIA colleagues in the JFK assassination, Scotty Miler began to deliver the documents in his possession to Timothy Cooper on June 23, 1999 in an attempt to demonstrate why Kennedy “had to go”. Included in his documents were some essays he had written explaining the UFO situation and the CIA’s role in the cover-up. The “Important Memo” has a few very sinister statements in it, regarding former CIA Director William Colby’s assassination because he was named in the margins of the “JFK to a Director of the CIA” memo. Miler states that Colby was murdered to “shut him up” before the ARRB started asking him questions about it.
Scotty Miler died in 2007, hopeful that the release of the Majestic Documents would be read by future historians and help them understand why President Kennedy’s plan to cooperate with the Soviet Union to gain an understanding of the “alien presence” was a direct threat to the Military Industrial Complex and the National Security State.
