- Failed Polygraph Yields Unexpected Benefit
-
- REDWOOD CITY, California -- The recently leaked Top
Secret MJ-12 UFO documents from Mr. Timothy Cooper have undergone a series
of authentication tests by investigators Dr. Robert M. Wood, Ryan S. Wood
and other questioned document examiners. Besides the basic forensic authentication
tests of chronology, style, typography, content and authorship the Woods
are increasingly focusing on the important issue of provenance. One of
five currently disclosed sources of the Majestic documents is Mr. Timothy
Cooper of Big Bear Lake, California, who received some Majestic documents
in his post office mailbox and through personal contacts between 1992
and 1999. Mr. Cooper's alleged sources are: 1) counterintelligence agent
Thomas Cantwheel, 2) Cantwheel's daughter, 3) a Legionnaire, formerly
Air Force counterintelligence, and 4) a former CIA employee. Mr. Cooper
has sworn out three affidavits related to this matter and to date none
of the information supplied in the affidavits has been shown to be false.
Recently, however Mr. Cooper took a polygraph examination and did not
do well.
-
- Tim Cooper and the Polygraph
-
- On the Mike Jarmus radio show, Robert Durant (an anomaly
researcher who regularly and systematically questions the truthfulness
of unusual claims) when interviewing Mr. Cooper, unexpectedly challenged
him to a polygraph exam. His purpose was to further understand the provenance
of the new top secret Majestic documents and try to determine if Cooper
had forged the documents and was perpetrating a massive fraud. Mr. Cooper
agreed to take a polygraph, and Dr. Wood arranged to have him examined
by a highly qualified polygrapher, Mr. William Stanley Lane, Certified
Polygraph Examiner, a former president of the California Association of
Polygrapher Examiners and highly regarded in his field. The test was narrowed,
at the polygrapher examiner's insistence, from a large battery of questions
down to the central issue of where did he get the documents.
-
- Tim Cooper has consistently stated that he will protect
the identity of his two covert sources, both before and after the polygraph
test. When asked the question, "Did you lie when you said that you
received the 'Majestic Documents' in your mailbox?" he said, "No."
This answer clearly indicated deception, when asked three different times.
This deception is to be expected, based on his determination to conceal
the identity of the other sources, concealed from the conversation. We
have subsequently clarified these sources, and they are now described
in the table of document acquisition that follows. Many of the Cooper
entries on this table as a direct result of issues raised by the polygraph
test.
-
- In addition, when asked the question, "Did you
lie when you said that you gave those documents to a Mr. Bob and Ryan
Wood?" the "No" answer showed deception. It certainly should
have, since he gave most of the documents to Stan Friedman or one or two
to Timothy Good, and only two documents to Bob and Ryan (the Interplanetary
Phenomenon Unit Report and the so-called "First Annual Report.")
-
- On ABC's Sunday news program August 8, 1999, it was stated
that polygraph exams are not admissible in jury trials and that the Supreme
Court recently supported a challenge to that ruling. Criminals such as
Aldrich Ames can and do pass lie detector tests. Also, innocent people
can be placed under suspicion because the science of lie detectors is
still considered unreliable. As worst, studies show a 50/50 chance of
truth being shown, and at best, the Defense Department has four studies
showing accuracy of 80-95%.
-
- In post-test discussion with Mr. Cooper, asking him
why he showed deception, he told us that he always intended to protect
the identity of his two other sources besides the mailbox Cantwheel source,
and would continue to do so. This is consistent with the deceptive results
recorded, and polygraph examiner Lane agrees.
-
- "Accordingly, Tim's polygraph test, although conclusive
that his answers very likely showed deception consistent with the context
of the questions, is moving us toward a better understanding of the provenance
of these fascinating documents, many of which are deemed authentic by
other means" said Ryan Wood.
-
- In the process of pinning down Mr. Cooper on exactly
which documents he obtained from whom and when, we have developed the
following tabular information concerning the sources of the Majestic documents.
The documents themselves can be found in our book, "The Majestic
Documents" available by calling 1-800-845-2151.

-
- Both Bob and Ryan have spent a combined 60 hours with
Tim Cooper over a course of three years. They have been to his house,
read many of his papers, talked with him at length, both about the polygraph
and these and other documents. We believe that he did not forge anything,
based on our personal evaluation of him, his style, his habits, his demeanor,
and his writing despite the "failed" polygraph examination.
-
- Several distinguished researchers have stated that if
there were crashes and parts recovered, it would be remarkable if there
was not a paper trail. The central question is "Which documents that
have been leaked are authentic or hoaxed, and if hoaxed, why, when, by
whom and for what purpose?
-
- Truth, Deception or Falsehood - Too Early To Conclude
-
- "We in no way are ruling out the possibility that
these documents were donated to Tim Cooper as a likely way to get them
onto the world stage. It is important to remember that if it were not
for the efforts of Bob and Ryan everything in Tim Cooper's entire collection
would still be sitting in the "gray basket" of Stan Friedman
or Tim Good's questionable stack and unlikely to have been published at
all. Another, very real possibility is that some aspects of the documents
are part of a deceptive, disinformation campaign designed for the mid-fifties
or later to confuse or re-direct the Soviet or Chinese technological
investments. There may be other reasons we also do not perceive.
-
- It is critical however, to look at each document and
further analyze each sentence or phrase for truth, deception or falsehood.
It is illogical to generalize that if one phrase is somehow wrong that
the entire document is wrong, as the cliché goes, "Lets not
throw the baby out with the bathwater."
-
- Resolution of the currently released set of documents
is a huge task that is nearly 50% done although we have disclosed only
10% of the research results about the authentication of the currently
released documents. Both truths and deception may both be seen as authentic,
because historical documents represent ideas and not facts, troubling
issues of a documents authenticity sometimes may never be resolved. "No
amount of degree of content analysis, typography nor chronology, without
physical testing of original documents, ever completely satisfy professional
standards of authenticity", said Dr. Wood. However, during 2000 much
more will be released along with more authentication research in the form
of our presentations, publications, documentaries and planned our web
site", said Ryan Wood.
-
- Meanwhile, Mr. Cooper continues to receive packages
with archival contents, some of which are original paper, ink and watermark.
These offer significant promise to get to the heart of the history of
the Majestic Documents.
-
- Where Can you See The Majestic Documents
-
- The new Majestic documents were first published on www.TheWordIsTruth.org
web site as part of Joe Firmage's launch of the International Space Sciences
Organization, www.ISSO.org. They also can be purchased by calling 1-800-845-2151,
including a multimedia CDROM that discusses the authenticity of these
documents. Stan Friedman has published a detailed book, Top Secret Majic,
which includes some of the Majestic documents. It covers the authenticity
of the Eisenhower Briefing Document; Mr. Freidman was the first to publish
a preliminary version of the Special Operations Manual - Extraterrestrial
Entities and Technology, Recovery and Disposal.

- Dr. Robert M and Ryan S Wood are partners dedicated
to the investigation of Majestic, MAJIC or MJ-12 documents. Our goals
are to research, authenticate and publish our results in widely accepted
media. We employ a variety of specialists in key fields that contribute
to our efforts. We welcome volunteers that are willing to sign non-disclosure
agreements and that have a reputation for integrity and a dogged determination
to search for the truth. Content-Type: application/msword; name="LieDectectorPressRelease.doc"
