WHAT IS MAJESTIC?

In 1946 Project: Majestic 12 brought together some of the greatest science fiction writers of the period to create counter intelligence stories for the United States government. Sidney Newman and his fellow writers created cover stories and hoaxes that the military and the intelligence community used to combat and misinform enemy nations. Sidney, who was unable to serve in WWII for health reasons, was proud to use his talents to help fight the Soviets.

 

Then something happened. On July 2, 1947 something landed in the desert near Corona, New Mexico. Initial reports claimed it was a flying saucer but the official Government story that emerged was that it was a weather experiment that had gone wrong. Suspicious reports of alien bodies, flying saucer technology and a secret government facility called Area 51 were whispered amongst conspiracy theorists and eventually began to filter into the subconscious of America.

 

But Sidney Newman created those whispers. Sidney wrote the Roswell conspiracy in late 1946 for the Military. Why was his work being used against Americans as a second layer cover story? Sidney wanted answers. If it wasn’t a weather balloon and it wasn’t a flying saucer, Sidney wanted to know what really happened in the New Mexico desert.

 

Majestic is a twelve part webseries that follows Sidney in his dangerous twenty-two year quest to uncover the truth about the Roswell Incident. Created by Eric Peter Schwartz (producer of the Big City online series), Majestic will debut in 2005.
