Did JFK see a UFO?
A rumor about a Massachusetts UFO event
Paranormal investigator William Knell, an advisor to the popular TV
show "The X-Files," is the source for this UFO sighting report. Knell
says that a now deceased man named Michael Wolf told him that in the
summer of 1963, while boating off Hyannisport on Cape Cod, Wolf, his
brother-in-law, and others had a sighting of a UFO. It was
disc-shaped, about 60 feet in diameter, with a gray top and a shiny
bottom. The witnesses watched for forty seconds as it hovered over
the water, making a low-pitched humming noise. Then, suddenly, the
craft flew straight up into the air and was gone.
UFO reports like this one are common. It wasn't reported until
more than 35 years later, with the witnesses dead or unavailable for
interviews. Even the exact date and location of the sighting are
unknown. So what is special about this sighting? One of the alleged
witnesses to this sighting, Wolf's brother-in-law, was President John
F. Kennedy. The other witnesses were his friends and Secret Service
agents. Allegedly, the story was never made public because Kennedy told
all the witnesses to keep it a secret. Of course, since the entire
story rests on Knell's word, and it can never be proven that it did
or did not happen, it must be regarded only as a rumor. But an
interesting rumor nonetheless.
