Hidden within the tightly-guarded vaults of the Kennedy assassination documents emerges a startling disclosure: a UFO sighting in 1955 Russia during the apex of the Cold War. This revelation, camouflaged within records primarily concerning the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, paints a riveting picture of an unexpected close encounter.
The incident unfurls in a cable dispatched from Russia's Transcaucasus region. The message describes a spellbinding sighting: "two mound and circular unconventional aircraft resembling flying discs or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically one minute apart." As per the cable, these mysterious discs not only rotated in flight but also emitted "sparks or flames." Destined for the U.S. Air Force's eyes, this cable stands out for its unusual content and context.
Driving the narrative's credibility, the eyewitnesses were none other than three prominent U.S. figures. On the eventful day of October 5, 1955, while journeying on the Transcaucasus train, CIA agent Reuben Efron, Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, and Lt. Col. E.U. Hathaway looked up to find the unidentified objects soaring above.
What links this uncanny sighting to the JFK dossier? Efron, one of the observers, held a position within the CIA and was supposedly responsible for overseeing the mail of Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President Kennedy. Nevertheless, some insiders hint at an ulterior motive for including this UFO report within the Kennedy files. The widely-held belief among certain circles is that this placement was a strategic move, done with the assumption that the report would remain concealed indefinitely within the broader context of the Kennedy investigation.
Currently, of the many documents related to the Kennedy assassination, 1,103 remain unreleased. Despite a federal mandate calling for total transparency, the documents have stayed sealed. While President Joe Biden's stance allows the CIA to withhold any JFK-related documents that touch upon national security, many wonder about the full scope of what's being kept in the shadows.
As a source whispered, "Apparently, a person who’s seen the archives read the UFO cable and leaked it."
This astounding twist in the already convoluted saga of the JFK files raises new questions: What more might be hidden within the unrevealed documents? And what might this particular UFO sighting tell us about international relations and secrets during the height of the Cold War? Only time — and perhaps further leaks — will reveal the answers.
