It is easy to say that this was his disclosure speech and he was killed before he made it. The thing is, its been over 40 years, and still nothing from anyone else.
Probably nobody wants to repeat his fate...

Ok, for a minute, I'm not going to absolutely PULVERIZE this thread.
Is there any evidence, (aside from this potent display of Fictional flash), that President Kennedy was EVER even interested in the UFO phenomenon? Is it on record that he was investigating it, talking about it, wondering about it, etc?
"We seek a free flow of information... we are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."-John F. Kennedy, Nov. 21, 1963.
As with many other U.S. presidents, there was a report that Kennedy had sighted a UFO. The event occurred in 1963, while boating off Hyannisport on Cape Cod. The object was "disc-shaped, about 60 feet in diameter, with a gray top, and shiny bottom." It hovered above the water for 40 seconds, emitting a low pitched humming sound. Then it flew straight up in the air and was gone. Kennedy swore those present to keep the incident secret.
A former steward aboard Air Force One Bill Holden, was on board Air Force One with Kennedy flying to Europe in the summer of 1963. A UFO convention being held in Bonn Germany that month prompted Holden to bring up the subject of UFOs with the President.
Holden asked " What do you think about UFOs, Mr. President? According to the account Kennedy became quite serious thinking for a moment. "I'd like to tell the public about the UFO situation" he stated, " but my hands are tied." ( Marrs)
I never knew about the "Congressional", or "Iron Triangle" descriptors, thanks.
originally called the military industrial congressional complex and was refered to as the iron triangle.
