astounding fact that Marilyn Monroe and John Kennedy had discussed recovered flying saucers! They were being stored at a secret military base and the President was going there to inspect them!

 

Here is the text of the memo for ease of reading:

 

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

TOP SECRET NOT FOR PUBLICATION

​

COUNTRY: New York, US

SUBJECT: Marilyn Monroe

​

REPORT NO. [blacked out]

DATE DSTR: 3 August 1962

NO. PAGES: [blacked out]

REFERENCES: MOON DUST Project [illegible]

 

Wiretap of telephone conversation between reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her close friend, Howard Rothberg (A); from wiretap of telephone conversation of Marilyn Monroe and Attorney General Robert Kennedy (B). Appraisal of Content: [blacked out]

 

1. Rothberg discussed the apparent comeback of subject with Kilgallen and the break up with the Kennedys. Rothberg told Kilgallen that she was attending Hollywood parties hosted by the "inner circle" among Hollywood's elite and was becoming the talk of the town again. Rothberg indicated in so many words, that she had secrets to tell, no doubt arising from her trists [sic] with the President and the Attorney General. One such "secret" mentions the visit by the President at a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space. Kilgallen replied that she knew what might be the source of visit. In the mid-fifties Kilgallen learned of secret effort by US and UK governments to identify the origins of crashed spacecraft and dead bodies, from a British government official. Kilgallen believed the story may have come from the New Mexico story in the late forties. Kilgallen said that if the story is true, it would cause terrible embarrassment for Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon.
    

2. Subject repeatedly called the Attorney General and complained about the way she was being ignored by the President and his brother.
    

3. Subject threatened to hold a press conference and would tell all.
    

4. Subject made reference to "bases" in Cuba and knew of the President's plan to kill Castro.
    

5. Subject made reference to her "diary of secrets" and what the newspapers would do with such disclosures.

DIST
54-12 / MJ-12
 

The memo is signed by James Jesus Angleton, then CIA Chief for Counterintelligence. Above Angleton’s signature appears a second Top Secret stamp. The reference to Project Moondust is interesting in that this acknowledged military program retrieves downed space debris, satellites, and some say, UFOs.

​

Speriglio maintained that his contacts within the intelligence community had confirmed its authenticity. Desperate to re-enter the limelight, Speriglio released the document with fanfare, offering up his opinions and analysis. The document has since been mentioned not only in many UFO books, but also in mainstream books on the lives and deaths of JFK and Marilyn.

 

A CLUE TO THE HOAX

 

HOWARD PERRY ROTHBERG

Rothberg was a close associate of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen. He owned an antique shop on 3rd Avenue in New York City and also acted as a designer to NY elite. He provided many leads and tips to Kilgallen. However, despite the memo mentioning that Rothberg knew about Marilyn’s social activities and “inner circle", Howard Rothberg was in reality far removed from any such association. Donald Spato, author of the definitive “Marilyn Monroe: The Biography” (2001) addresses this directly: “Howard Perry Rothberg was a New York interior designer with no connection at all to Marylyn’s inner circle.” The contrary ‘fact’- as reported in the alleged CIA report- is simply not true. For that reason, the whole JFK-Marilyn-ET scenario rings hollow.

 

THE MEMO’S TRUE ORIGIN AND A CONFESSION

 

Speriglio was never precise in explaining the who/what/when and where about just how he came to possess the copy of this CIA memo. But buried in a multi-section website called The Majestic Documents, we find the answer. Run by Robert Wood, PhD and his son Ryan, a former McDonnell-Douglas executive, they write: “In the spring of 1992 Tim Cooper received the Marilyn Monroe document from what Tim believes to be a former CIA employee, most likely an archivist. The document arrived in the PO box as normal mail. Later, Tim provided it to Milo Speriglio who ran the Nick Harris detective agency where Milo first published it.”

​

Who is Tim Cooper? He is employed full time as a security officer in California. Very interestingly, I found that he is a graduate of the Nick Harris Detective Academy, which was owned and operated by Milo Speriglio! The two were close and had apparently known one another for some time. In 1988 Cooper began investigating and researching military and intelligence UFO operations. Some years later, he began to receive various UFO documents of seemingly historic value from a former CIA officer who Cooper said called himself ‘Thomas Cantwheel.’ Among these documents was the Marilyn Monroe document. Many other Cooper-contributed documents are shown on the Wood's Majestic Documents website.

 

Little-known however, is that nearly a decade after Milo Speriglio passed away, Cooper disavowed all such documents he had provided- including the Marilyn document- as frauds. In an April 3 2009 email to respected long-time UFO researcher Robert Hastings (archived on The UFO Chronicles website as "UPDATE 1: Operation Bird Droppings--The MJ-12 Saga Continues"), Tim Cooper makes an astonishing confession. He admitted that he no longer had faith in any of the documents on UFOs and Roswell that he had previously promoted. Cooper confirmed that all of the “documents” that he was previously associated with are either questionable or outright fabrications.

 

Cooper recants his prior work to Hastings and states in the email: “The MJ-12 documents...are a hoax and those who promote them as reality know this, or should know this.” Of the supposed ET agreement called Project Serpo (now believed to be inspired by former AFOSI agent and prankster Richard Doty) he says, “It is pure science fiction.” He speaks disparagingly of “documents” found in the book “Exempt from Disclosure” by Robert Collins and Richard Doty to which Cooper contributed. He said that he has since ceased his association with Richard Doty and Collins. Cooper admits that articles that they had authored about James Jesus Angleton’s supposed UFO involvement were only what he called “speculative pieces.” When Hastings emailed Collins back with additional questions on this confession, Collins declined to respond and never commented on the matter again.

​​

So we now know that the very individual who introduced Milo Speriglio to the Marilyn document (and who in turn introduced it to the world) has now vehemently disavowed and discounted its authenticity (among many other such documents he released.)
 

And Cooper’s mention of both MJ-12 and Richard Doty is revealing. If one looks very closely at the document copy in the link above, you will see, at the bottom left of the page (after the Top Secret stamp and to the left of Angleton’s signature), three code words. The last one is faint, but reads: '54-(illegible)/MJ-12'. Of course MJ-12  is a hoax (which many today believe to have been inspired by William Moore and Richard Doty.) So goes the Marilyn document by its mention of MJ-12 as a code word.
 

The document’s signature by James Jesus Angleton is also telling. In Doty’s book Exempt From Disclosure he repeatedly brings up wild  tales that relate to Angleton’s knowledge of the extraterrestrial visitors and their crashes. Tim Cooper now concedes that all of this is simply BS.
 

Yet another interesting item is the misspelling of the word “trysts” as “trists,” in Section 1 of the document, which alludes to the JFK-Monroe relationship. Doty is a notoriously poor speller. The arch-skeptic the late Phil Klass noted this, and Doty’s emails and writings make this point evident.
