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.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under the Freedom of Information Act after he made a request while researching his new book 'A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.'
The president’s interest in UFOs shortly before his death is likely to fuel conspiracy theories about his assassination, according to AOL News.
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.
In one of the secret documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, JFK writes to the director asking for the UFO files.
In the second memo, sent to the NASA administrator, the president expresses a desire for cooperation with the former Soviet Union on mutual outer space activities.
The previously classified documents were released under the Freedom of Information Act to teacher William Lester as part of research for a new book about JFK.
He said that JFK’s interest in UFOs could have been fuelled by concerns about relations with the former Soviet Union.
‘One of his concerns was that a lot of these UFOs were being seen over the Soviet Union and he was very concerned that the Soviets might misinterpret these UFOs as U.S. aggression, believing that it was some of our technology,’ Mr Lester told AOL News.
‘I think this is one of the reasons why he wanted to get his hands on this information and get it away from the jurisdiction of NASA so he could say to the Soviets, “Look, that's not us, we're not doing it, we're not being provocative. “.’
But conspiracy 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.
‘Please submit your views no later than October. Your action to this matter is critical to the continuance of the group.’
The current owner of the ‘burned memo’, who bought it from Timothy Cooper in 2001 told AOL News that it shows that when JFK asked questions about UFOs that the CIA ‘bumped him off’.
UFO investigator Robert Wood said he has tested the paper it was printed on, the ink age, watermarks, font types and other markings.
He said: ‘I hired a forensics company to check the age of the ink and check several other things that you can date, using the same techniques you’d use in a court of law.’

How to Digitally Record/Video a UFO sighting:
•Stabilize the camera on a tripod. If there is no tripod, then set it on top of a stable, flat surface. If that is not possible lean against a wall to stabilize your body and prevent the camera from filming in a shaky, unsteady manner.
•Provide visual reference points for comparison. This includes the horizon, treetops, lampposts, houses, and geographical landmarks (i.e., Horsetooth Reservoir, Mt. Adams, etc.) Provide this in the video whenever is appropriate and doesn’t detract from what your focus is, the UFO.
•Narrate your videotape. Provide details of the date, time, location, and direction (N,S,E,W) you are looking in. Provide your observations on the weather, including approximate temperature, windspeed, any visible cloud cover or noticeable weather anomalies or events. Narrate on the shape, size, color, movements, approximate altitude of the UFO, etc and what it appears to be doing. Also include any unusual physical, psychological or emotional sensations you might have. Narrate any visual reference points on camera so they correlate with what the viewer will see, and thereby will be better able to understand.
•Be persistent and consistent. Return to the scene to videotape and record at this same location. If you have been successful once, the UFO sightings may be occurring in this region regularly, perhaps for specific reasons unknown, and you may be successful again. You may also wish to return to the same location at a different time of day (daylight hours) for better orientation and reference. Film just a minute or two under “normal” circumstances for comparison. Write down what you remember immediately after. As soon as you are done recording the experience/event, immediately write down your impressions, memories, thoughts, emotions, etc. so it is on the record in writing. If there were other witnesses, have them independently record their own impressions, thoughts, etc. Include in this exercise any drawings, sketches, or diagrams. Make sure you date and sign your documentation.
•Always be prepared. Have a digital camera or better yet a video camera with you, charged and ready to go, at all times. Make sure you know how to use your camera (and your cell phone video/photo camera) quickly and properly. These events can occur suddenly, unexpectedly, and often quite randomly, so you will need to be prepared.

Analyzing the FBI's Released Roswell Confirmation
By Chris Capps
Recently a file was released that reportedly proves the Roswell Incident, one of the most iconic events in UFO history not only happened, but the government was involved in a cover-up that ultimately resulted in years of denial and ridicule for those seeking the truth. But unlike so many "leaked" files before it, this is one the government itself is pushing forward. And the real revelation on this file may be more than just a confirmation that aliens visited Earth. It may actually provide a road map to learning the real truth behind the UFO phenomenon based on information we already possess.
The file is a simple one page document that outlines an FBI agent's testimony of an informant from the FBI telling him that a craft had been recovered. There appears to be a two way street of possibility suggested by the document. Either this source is coming forward and telling the FBI agent about events because they happened, or he is actually the fictional source of the Roswell testimony that soon spread to the rest of what would eventually become the field of UFOlogy.
So are we looking at an individual who either saw personally or was led to believe that alien bodies (although the term alien isn't directly used) were found near an unidentified crashed object. The fact that this testimony has been left in a vault uncovered for so many years suggests some element of the FBI aware of an event that went beyond the norm. And while it doesn't prove a cover-up, as some are suggesting, it does appear to the objective eye to be evidence that at least leans in that direction. And of course while it isn't the ultimate smoking gun, it does suggest something else that has been posited by various elements of the UFO field for years: that the "government" as a core body is not behind a UFO cover-up. At least it wasn't in 1950. Instead, it appears the knowledge of this alien presence is divided into several different groups with most agencies not being "in the know."
Of course it isn't necessarily surprising. It seems if there was a coverup of this size necessary, it would be likely most of the government itself would not be allowed knowledge of the event either. But then who was this mysterious man who informed both the FBI and the myriad UFO insiders after him? Were these individuals somehow privy to the information contained within this now declassified UFO memo?
And there are still plenty of other questions left unanswered with the Roswell crash debate. If a flying saucer were recovered, why would aliens not attempt to recover it for themselves? And how would we ultimately be able to reverse engineer their craft or use it to ensure the safety of humanity in the greater scheme of interstellar conflicts.
Perhaps the true mysteries revealed by this document just scratch the surface of what we may one day be looking at. And it could be one of the biggest revelations to date on the UFO phenomenon.
