JFK Killed by the CIA Because of his Interest in UFOs

Part of the "burned" memo, stamped Top Secret/MJ-12, rescued from a fire before it was destroyed. The memo is written by the director of Central Intelligence (circa early 1960s) and refers to Lancer (Secret Service code word for JFK), and states that he has made inquiries about their activities "which we cannot allow."

Obviously, the Cigarette Smoking Man has his hand in all of this...

Was JFK killed because of his interest in aliens? Secret memo shows president demanded UFO files 10 days before death

An uncovered letter written by John F Kennedy to the head of the CIA shows that the president demanded to be shown highly confidential documents about UFOs 10 days before his assassination.

The secret memo is one of two letters written by JFK asking for information about the paranormal on November 12 1963, which have been released by the CIA for the first time. . . .

Alien researchers say the latest documents, released to Mr Lester by the CIA, add weight to the suggestion that the president could have been shot to stop him discovering the truth about UFOs. . . .

[C]onspiracy theorists said the documents add interest to a disputed file, nicknamed the ‘burned memo’, which a UFO investigator claims he received in the 1990s.

The document, which has scorch marks, is claimed to have been posted to UFO hunter Timothy Cooper in 1999 by an unknown CIA leak, but has never been verified.

In a note sent with the document, the apparent leaker said he worked for CIA between 1960 and 1974 and pulled the memo from a fire when the agency was burning some of its most sensitive files.

The undated memo contains a reference to ‘Lancer’, which was JFK's Secret Service code name.

On the first page, the director of Central Intelligence wrote: ‘As you must know, Lancer has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow.

AOL News (who knew there was such a thing?!) offers a more in-depth look in The JFK-UFO Connection: Bogus Documents or Unanswered Questions?

Now, if we could just find a connection between JFK and the Knights Templar. . .

Oh, wait. Pope Clement issued the papal bull Pastoralis Praeeminentiae, ordering the arrest of all Templars and the seizure of their assets, on November 22, 1307.

Coincidence or conspiracy?

Nine seasons of the X-Files, and they couldn't do this episode?!?!?

Yes, he knows where Elvis is living.

Happy UFO Day - Poems!

Okay, I'm a little belated with the felicitations, but Monday (July 2) was UFO Day, which is celebrated worldwide. UFO Day marks the date in 1947 when a flying saucer crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. This year is the 60th anniversary of that galactically important event! But don't fear - the real party begins today:

"From July 5 to 8, more than 50,000 people are expected to attend the New Mexico city's annual Amazing Roswell UFO Festival. Speakers include Chase Masterson of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Dean Haglund of The X Files."

And if you don't think this is serious stuff, the Academy of American Poets begs to differ. They've published an essay for the occasion, entitled "Poems About Aliens," and they offer related poems by Robert Hayden ("[American Journal]"), Denis Johnson ("The White Fires of Venus"), Stanley Kunitz ("The Abduction"), and Greg Delanty ("The Alien").

I particulary enjoyed Hayden's poem, which looks at America and the planet through the eyes of an alien.

"america as much a problem in metaphysics as it is a nation"

Live long and prosper!
