A new set of declassified documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy could fuel the UFO fever sweeping the nation.
Buried in a trove of more than 1,103 documents is an excerpt of a 1955 cable the US Air Force received from “three reliable US observers” who saw flying disks over the Soviet Union.
A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, a senator and military personnel reported that “two unconventional hill and circle aircraft resembling flying discs or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically.”
The document describes how the vehicle spun and fired “sparks or flames” before driving over the train.
The details of the 1955 “flying saucers” come the same week that “dynamite” witnesses will address Congress on Wednesday and testify about their first-hand knowledge of UFOs.
Description of the incident in the “Trancaucasus region” details: “Two unconventional mounds and circular aircraft resembling flying disks or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically one minute apart.”
Extract from a cable obtained from the US Air Force shows that they are Efron, Senator Richard Russell and Lt. Col. EU. Hathaway.
The files relate to the assassination of the President in 1963, and as of June 27, 1,103 files were released, making the total unsealed documents 90 percent.
The move is part of the 1992 law called the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which required officials to release all records by October 2017.
However, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump implemented delays as directed by the FBI and CIA.
The National Archives and Records Administration has released more than 2,600 documents since April, but last month reports of the flying saucers became public.
The newly redacted document also includes a name previously kept secret in all other documents – Rueben Efron.
Efron allegedly monitored the mail correspondents of Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassin, months before the president was shot.
Efron, Senator Richard Russel (D-GA) and Lt. Col. EU Hathaway traveled between Atjaty and Adzhiyabu in the Soviet Union on October 5, 1955.
Russell supported a major military build-up during the Cold War, but it is not known why the three men were in the USSR at the time.
The official document states that the “reported sighting of unusual aircraft in the USSR” was made by “three reliable US observers”.
“Both disc planes climbed relatively slowly to about 6,000 [feet]”then the speed in level flight both on a northerly course and sharply increased,” the report reads.
The three US officials reported seeing two searchlights “aligned almost vertically” about a mile or two south of the railroad line.

“Following the sighting, the Soviet platoon drivers were agitated, drew the curtains and refused them permission to look out the windows,” the document said.
“US observers firmly believe that these unconventional aircraft are flying saucers or disc planes.”
Upon arrival in Prague, the three men went to the US embassy and met with Lt. Col. Thomas S. Ryan, who was serving as the US air attache at the embassy.
News of the encounter slowly reached the United States. When the Los Angeles Examiner sought details, Russell said, “I have raised this matter with the relevant authorities and they believe it is inadvisable to make this matter public at this time.”
Russell later served on the Warren Commission charged with investigating the JFK assassination.
CIA agent Efron’s name is also making waves online, as investigators and researchers suspect his operations prove Oswald has been on the US government’s radar for some time.
The U.S. government was known to be intercepting Oswald’s mail, but Efron’s name was removed from the record — until last month.
Efron and the other two men’s flying saucer report comes as many officials are set to speak before Congress on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
At 10 a.m. ET Wednesday, several witnesses will be on hand to explain what they have seen or know about UAPs.
Air Force and Intelligence veteran David Grusch – whose staggering claims about an illegal UFO crash-salvage program were made public in the secret world this June – will be among those testifying under oath.
“We have three explosive devices,” Congressman Tim Burchett said Tuesday.
“They’re professionals.” “They’re military,” the Tennessee Republican noted. “These are people who were there and saw what they saw.”
The other two witnesses are retired US Navy fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the Nimitz UFO “Tic Tac” in 2004, and Lieutenant Ryan Graves, whose naval squadron captured the GIMBAL and GOFAST UFOs on infrared video in 2015.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) are leading an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would require government records related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to carry the presumption of disclosure.
“For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by mysterious and unexplained objects, and it’s about time we found answers,” Schumer said.
“The American public has a right to know about technology of unknown origin, inhuman intelligence, and unexplained phenomena.” “We are working not only to declassify what the government has learned about these phenomena so far, but also to create a pipeline for the publication of future research.”
Why is the assassination of John F. Kennedy still hotly debated?

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 while his motorcade was driving through Dallas, Texas.
The President was attacked by a sniper who fatally shot him in the head as his uncovered car drove through Dealey Plaza.
Within an hour of the assassination, former Marine Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed a Dallas police officer, leading to his arrest at a movie theater where he was hiding.
He was later charged with Kennedy’s murder, although he denied the charges – but two days later he was fatally shot in custody by local nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
After the assassination, five federal investigations concluded that Oswald was the killer. However, some have claimed that there have been irregularities and “oddities” in both the investigations and the findings.
The assassination was captured in numerous recordings, notably the famous footage filmed by civilian Abraham Zapruder with an 8mm home video camera.
The Zapruder film captured the entire approximately 8-second sequence of fatal events. However, instead of clarifying what happened, the recordings have sparked countless conspiracy theories.
Despite the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald and subsequent analysis showing that JFK’s wounds matched the type of rifle Oswald owned, skeptics suspected a second gunman was standing on a hill ahead of the motorcade
The most well-known of these is the Grassy-Knoll theory, which focuses on the argument that the president made a “backward and leftward movement” immediately after he was shot.
According to proponents of the second gunman explanation, this suggests that JFK was shot from the front by a person standing on a small hill on the northwest side of Dealey Plaza, also known as the grassy hill.
But the theory has been disputed countless times over the years.
