The president's signature on the Majestic 12 papers is a photocopy of a real one from 1947 — the same pen-skip in the same downstroke. Our data editor ran twelve tests. Here is each of them, and how to run it yourself.
A deputy base commander recorded it on a Dictaphone as it happened. A sergeant produced sixteen pages of binary — thirty years later. The lighthouse is 8.4km away on the bearing they were walking. All three are true at once.
Bob Lazar named element 115 in 1989, fourteen years before anyone made one — and that is the only part of his account that came true. Moscovium decays in ninety milliseconds. We split the rest into six claims and tested each.
In 1980 the Air Force fed a New Mexico engineer forged documents about a base under Archuleta Mesa, and admits it. Nobody has explained why the forgeries size the ventilation correctly to within six per cent.
Receivers in four countries logged the ring-system carrier at zero between 04:12 and 04:53 UTC. A retired radio astronomer thinks the likeliest cause is instrumental and named four candidates. Sixty-one people have told us what they were doing.
A retired engineer spent nine years cataloguing every long-period event in the public lunar archive. We pulled forty entries at random. Four were wrong, and he corrected them while we watched, and asked us to print that.
For four days this newspaper reported a repeating twelve-bit sequence from catalogued debris object 25570. The sequence was an artefact of our reporter's analysis software, which reproduces it from a file of silence in under an hour. The struck-through paragraph stays visible.
Four computations of the same orbit disagree by 214 years. We asked all four to publish their inputs. The two that did both reproduced on our correspondent's own machine. The other two are not wrong. They are worse than wrong.
