President Kennedy Was Very Interested in Ufos

Shortly before his assassination, President Kennedy expressed a great deal of interest in unidentified flying objects.  In fact, he may have made officials in his administration angry when he requested information on the subject.

On November 12, 1963, JFK wrote to the Director of the CIA asking for files on UFOs.  He was worried that the Soviets might misinterpret these objects.  They might think the United States had built the UFOs.  Presidents Harry S Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower were also interested in flying saucers.

These three presidents may have been influenced by the Majestic 12 (MJ-12) documents.  MJ-12 were documents that have become extremely scrutinized.  In 1984, a UFO researcher named Jaime Shandera received a brown envelope containing a roll of 35mm black and white film.  These were the MJ-12 documents.

The John F. Kennedy Library in Boston told writer Lee Spiegel that they did not catalog that sort of thing.  They connected him with physicist/aeronautical engineer Robert Wood, who worked on the MJ-12 documents in 2008.

Wood used to work at McDonald Douglas.  He said,”We had authority to look at how UFOs might work, with gravity-controlled devices.”  Wood hired nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman.  It was the first job Friedman had where he was actually paid to study UFOs.

Wood obtained a series of MJ-12 documents in the 1990’s.  They included something called the “burned memo”, which made a reference to “Lancer”, JFK’s Secret Service code name.  The first page of  the burned memo said: “As you must know, Lancer has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow.”

So, we know President Kennedy had developed an interest in UFOs.  This led to an indirect involvement with the mysterious MJ-12 documents.  In one of the documents was a possibly hostile reference to JFK.  All of this happened very shortly before his assassination.
