In
1963, President John F. Kennedy launched a ground breaking initiative
to get the USSR and USA to cooperate in joint space and lunar missions.
In the background of this publicly announced initiative with powerful
Cold War implications was a more secretive attempt to release
classified UFO files. Leaked documents reveal that Kennedy
instructed the CIA to release classified UFO files as part of the
cooperative space effort with the Soviet Union. If Kennedy had
succeeded, there would have been joint space mission to the moon and
eventual public release of classified UFO files by both the US and
USSR. President Kennedy’s assassination quickly led to the abandonment
of his joint moon mission with the USSR, and ended his administration’s
effort to force the CIA to release classified UFO files.
