The JFK Assassination: A Cosmic Cover-Up and the CIA’s UFO Secrets
For decades, the assassination of John F. Kennedy (JFK) has been shrouded in mystery, with conspiracy theories linking his death to more than just a lone gunman. New evidence uncovered by author William Lester in his book A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier points to an explosive possibility: JFK’s death might have been tied to his pursuit of UFO secrets and a cosmic cover-up orchestrated by the CIA.

The Secret Letter That Changed Everything
In the weeks leading up to his death, JFK sent a bombshell letter to CIA director John McCone, demanding “all intelligence on UFOs.” This letter, discovered through the Freedom of Information Act, shows Kennedy’s push to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding extraterrestrial encounters. Why? Just two months before, JFK proposed a radical idea—team up with the Soviet Union for a joint lunar exploration program. However, the CIA’s refusal to share UFO information with NASA or the president left him frustrated, fearing that alien technology might be mistaken for top-secret U.S. or Soviet tech. Kennedy’s push for transparency came at a critical time when Cold War tensions were at their peak.
The Burnt Note: Evidence of a Cover-Up?
As JFK sought UFO intelligence, a mysterious document, dubbed the “burnt note,” surfaced. This memo, allegedly tied to the shadowy Majestic-12 (MJ-12) committee tasked with investigating alien activity, revealed panic within the CIA. The memo, dated just weeks before JFK’s assassination, warned that Kennedy’s inquiries could expose their secrets and ignite international chaos. This document, along with other sources, suggests that the CIA, military, and MJ-12 feared the fallout of exposing extraterrestrial knowledge to the world or to the Soviets.
JFK’s Final Speech and the Cover-Up
Lester and other conspiracy theorists argue that JFK’s insistence on UFO disclosure made him a target. Professor Lawrence Merrick claims Kennedy was planning a historic speech on the day of his assassination, where he would reveal the truth about extraterrestrials. According to Merrick, JFK was set to announce, “My fellow Americans… we are not alone,” and tell the world that aliens were here to help humanity. This speech was never delivered, and ten days later, Kennedy was assassinated. Was his death a direct result of his push to expose the truth?
Marilyn Monroe and the Alien Connection
The mystery deepens with the involvement of Marilyn Monroe, whose death in 1962 has long been linked to her alleged knowledge of JFK’s secret dealings. A leaked CIA document from the “Moon Dust” project suggests Monroe had information about JFK’s visit to a secret airbase to inspect “alien objects” connected to the Roswell incident. Monroe reportedly threatened to expose these secrets, and her subsequent death has been considered part of the CIA’s effort to silence those who knew too much.
UFOs, Soviets, and Declassified Clues
Declassified documents now connect JFK’s assassination to UFO sightings near Kazi-Magomed, Azerbaijan, reported by a CIA agent, U.S. senator, and Army lieutenant colonel. These reports suggest that JFK’s attempts to broker a deal with the Soviets over space exploration and UFO transparency may have rattled both superpowers, with the CIA moving to prevent exposure of extraterrestrial knowledge.
Why It Matters Now
As of March 2025, this conspiracy feels more relevant than ever. With UFOs (or UAPs) dominating the headlines and more government files being declassified, JFK’s assassination seems intertwined with the larger question of extraterrestrial life. Was JFK assassinated to prevent the exposure of alien truths? Was the CIA willing to silence a president to keep these secrets hidden? With the evidence mounting, the JFK assassination story remains a tantalizing mystery—one that may have cosmic implications.

The rabbit hole keeps getting deeper, and the search for answers continues.
