On the documents themselves Moore said in the same speech that "there is in fact a group known as MJ12 which operates at the [[White House]] National Security Council level" and that its functions were not established to be UFO related; that the Cutler-Twining memorandum was, with "reasonable certainty," authentic and "best evidence indicates that someone planted it amidst the papers of record group 341, knowing that there was a strong chance we would find it there"; that "there is still no compelling reason to believe" the Eisenhower briefing document was other than authentic, though "its authenticity remains far from proved"; that the Truman executive order of September 24, 1947 "presents the weakest case of the three"; that none of his sources knew terms such as "Magi," "Majesty," "PI40," "Plato" or "Garnet"; and that "if it's a hoax, it's extraordinarily well done," while "if it's disinformation, the equally important story of why needs to be told."[^19] He also said that those who suspected he created the documents were thanked "for the compliment," and that he could not rule out being "the innocent victim of an elaborate hoax."[^19]
[[Mark Pilkington]] wrote, citing Barry Greenwood and Brad Sparks (MUFON Symposium Proceedings, 2007; not obtained), that Moore, [[Bob Pratt]] and Doty planned in 1981 and 1982 a book first called "Majik 12" and then "The Aquarius Project," with Doty credited as "Ronald L.
