But the documents were clearly a hoax so...?

The latter has surely been made up within the second batch of
fake documents?

This is not entirely correct, is it? After all, despite the many
and multiple evasions of the recent 18-19 years of MJ-lore there
has never been ANY proof that this is anything more than a hoax.
I was sitting here thinking, "I bet somebody will come along and
say that there are mutliple Majestics, and that the real
Majestic is Above Top Secret" and I was right!

That is a conspiracy theory, not borne out by the minimal

All well and good, but isn't what is really happening (and which
has been alluded to by Tim Good and others) the misuse, sorry,
re-use, of old military documents discovered in archives by the
hoaxer/s and their transmission into the UFO research community
by whatever means?? So, one suggestion is that they, whoever
they are, are just literally cutting and pasting existing
documents OR using these as a template for new documents. This
is what a counterfeiter would do, and I'm sure that this is what
the MJers are doing too.
