Uncovering the Conspiracy: JFK, UFOs, and the Assassination
Written on
Chapter 1: The Assassination Theories
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, particularly those suggesting a connection to UFOs. Milton William Cooper, in his influential book “Behold a Pale Horse,” argues that Kennedy's murder was motivated by his intention to reveal classified information regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Notably, just days before his assassination, Kennedy allegedly sent a request for UFO files.

Section 1.1: The Letter to NASA
Cooper references a letter dated November 12, 1963, where Kennedy requested that all files related to unidentified flying objects be made accessible to NASA, with a report due to the White House by February 1, 1964. Tragically, just ten days after this request, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. This letter resurfaced in 2011 in a book by William Lester, titled “A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier,” who claimed to have obtained it from the CIA after it was declassified.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Connection to Assassination
Lester noted in an interview with the Daily Mail that Kennedy had penned two letters on that fateful day. The first was directed at the CIA director, asking for a review of the classification level of all files containing secret UFO information impacting national security. Kennedy's vision included a collaborative lunar exploration program with the Soviet Union and he sought to clarify the nature of potential threats posed by UFOs, ensuring they would not be misconstrued as acts of aggression.
Section 1.2: The Cold War Context
Kennedy's concerns were not unfounded; he recognized that sightings of UFOs over the Soviet Union could be interpreted as a military maneuver by the United States. His approach aimed to foster transparency and cooperation between the superpowers during a tense period marked by the Cold War.
Chapter 2: The Aftermath and Speculation
Following Kennedy's assassination, speculation about the motives behind his death intensified. Some theorists suggest that those who were aware of the truth about UFOs may have viewed Kennedy's openness as a threat, leading to drastic measures to silence him.
The first video titled "Ancient Aliens: Was JFK Silenced?" delves into the theories surrounding Kennedy's assassination and his possible connections to UFOs. It explores the circumstances leading up to his death and whether there might have been a conspiracy at play.
The second video, "What did John F. Kennedy know — and not know — about UFOs?" examines the extent of Kennedy's knowledge regarding UFO phenomena and the implications of his inquiries into classified documents. It raises questions about what he might have uncovered before his untimely demise.
Ultimately, the narrative surrounding Kennedy's assassination continues to be shrouded in mystery, with the UFO discourse adding another layer to an already complex historical event.
