Subject: CONSPIRACY 101: INTRODUCTION, ver. 2.5


1.	WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S ALIEN STUDIES PROJECT CALLED?

	Recently, or at least since the episode PAPERCLIP when The Well 
Manicured Man refered to the conspiracy as "a consortium representing
certain global interests," fans have refered to the government or
quasi-government group which runs the alien studies project as "The
Consortium."  Howeverm my guess is that the government's alien studies
project is called: THE MAJESTIC PROJECT.

	Why? Well, the name "Majestic Project" can be seen on some
documents in the episode E.B.E.. In that episode Deep Throat gives Mulder
a top secret transcript of an intercepted transmission between an Iraqi
fighter pilot (who shoots down a UFO) and his ground control officer.  The
transcript is labeled:

	To: Commanding Officer, Majestic Project

	Considering that the transcript came from Deep Throat and was
concerned with an alien encounter, I'd say it's a safe bet that the
Majestic Project is the government's alien studies project.

	Later, in ANASAZI, we hear about the "MJ Documents" and something 
called "MJ-12." The Thinker, a cyber-anarchist who hacks into the
Department of Defense's computer and steals the MJ Documents, described
them as "the original Department of Defense UFO Intelligence files.
Containing "Everything. Roswell, MJ-12 and beyond.

	According to UFO-Conspiracy literature (like Stanton Friedman's
"Crash at Corona" and Howard Blum's "Out There") MJ-12 is shorthand for
"Majestic 12." Majestic 12 was the name of the alleged "special studies
project" set up by President Truman to study the wreckage and dead aliens
recovered from the 1947 UFO crash near Roswell New Mexico.  It was called
Majestic-12 because its board of directors originally had twelve members.

	So "The Consortium," MJ-12 and the Majestic Project may be one and
the same thing. Throughout these essays I refer to the X-Files central
conspiracy as THE MAJESTIC CONSORTIUM.
