The JFK files refer to a vast collection of documents and records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. These records are officially housed in the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The collection includes over 6 million pages of materials, such as government reports, memos, photographs, sound recordings, and artifacts, primarily gathered from investigations into the assassination.BackgroundKennedy’s assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald, as concluded by the official Warren Commission in 1964, has long been a subject of intense public scrutiny and speculation. The Warren Commission determined that Oswald acted alone, but this conclusion has been challenged by numerous conspiracy theories suggesting involvement of entities like the CIA, FBI, Mafia, or even elements within the U.S. government. The enduring mystery and public demand for transparency led to the passage of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. This law mandated that all assassination-related records held by the government be collected and eventually released to the public, with a deadline set for October 26, 2017, unless specific exceptions applied.What’s in the Files?The JFK files encompass a wide range of materials, including:

These documents, released under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Act, primarily consist of CIA memoranda and related correspondence. A significant portion focuses on Lee Harvey Oswald's stay in Helsinki and inquiries made about it shortly after the assassination. Other records discuss Soviet visa policies and cases of American citizens marrying Soviet individuals, examining related intelligence concerns and potential inconsistencies. Additionally, there are documents concerning technical service operations in Havana and logistical planning related to unnamed operations. Overall, these sources offer glimpses into CIA activities and information gathering during the Cold War, touching upon counterintelligence and the investigation following President Kennedy's assassination.

Legendary reporter George Knapp investigates the Phoenix Lights incident, interviewing witnesses and experts to gather evidence and create a counter-report to the AARO report, which he believes dismisses evidence of nonhuman intelligence. His investigation explores various eyewitness accounts and theories, including potential government cover-ups and the possibility of time-traveling humans. Knapp also examines accounts of UFO encounters near nuclear missile sites, suggesting a possible interest in human weaponry. Furthermore, the investigation looks into ancient petroglyphs and pictographs, potentially depicting extraterrestrial encounters, supporting the theory of long-term interaction between humans and nonhuman intelligence. Finally, the report culminates in a push for government transparency and the release of classified information regarding UFO phenomena.
