A new set of declassified John F Kennedy assassination documents could add more fuel to the UFO fever gripping the nation.
Buried in a trove of more than 1,103 documents is an excerpt from a 1955 cable the US Air Force obtained from ‘three reliable US observers’ who saw flying discs over the Soviet Union.
A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, Senator and military personnel reported that ‘two mound and circular unconventional aircraft resembling flying discs or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically.’
The document describes the craft revolving and shooting ‘sparks or flames’ before passing over the train.
The description of the incident in the ‘Trancaucasus Region’ details, ‘two mound and circular unconventional aircraft resembling flying discs or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically one minute apart.’
The excerpt from a cable received from the US Air Force reveals these as Efron, Senator Richard Russell, and Lt. Col. EU. Hathaway.
The files relate to the president’s assassination in 1963, and a batch of 1,103 was 1released on June 27, bringing the total amount unsealed to 90 percent.
The move is part of the 1992 legislation called the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, in which officials were to publish all records by October 2017.
However, delays were made by President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump due as a result of guidance from the FBI and CIA.
The National Archives and Records Administration has released more than 2,600 documents since April.
The cable includes a name previously redacted from all other documents – Rueben Efron.
Efron allegedly monitored the mail correspondents of Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK’s assassin, months before the president was shot.
He was traveling between Atjaty and Adzhijabu in the Soviet Union on October 5, 1955 – it is not known why the three Americans were in the USSR at the time.
The official CIA document states that the ‘reported sighting of unusual aircraft in USSR’ was made by ‘three reliable US observers.’
‘Both flying disc aircraft ascended relatively slowly to about 6,000 [feet], then speed increased sharply in horizontal flight both on northerly heading,’ reads the report.
The three US officials reported seeing two searchlights ‘pointing almost vertical’ about one to two miles south of the rail line.

‘After the sighting, Soviet train men became excited and lowered curtains and refused permission to look out windows,’ the document reads.
‘US observers firmly believe these unconventional aircraft are flying saucer or disc aircraft.’
The newly released CIA agent, Efron, is also making waves online, as investigators and researchers suggest his operations prove Oswald was on the US government’s radar for some time.
Efron and the two other men’s account of flying saucers come when many officials are set to speak in front of Congress about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
On Wednesday at 10 am ET, several witnesses will take the stand to explain what they have seen or know about UAPs.
Air Force and intelligence agency veteran David Grusch — whose jaw-dropping claims of an illegal UFO crash retrieval program operating within the classified world were made public this June — will be among those giving sworn testimony.
‘We have three dynamite witnesses,’ Congressman Tim Burchett said Tuesday.
‘They’re professionals. They’re military,’ the Tennessee Republican noted. ‘They’re people that were there and saw what they saw.’
The other two witnesses, announced via press release this morning, will be retired US Navy veteran fighter pilots Commander David Fravor, witness to the 2004 Nimitz ‘Tic Tac’ UFO; and Lieutenant Ryan Graves, whose Naval squadron captured the infamous GIMBAL and GOFAST UFOs on infra-red video in 2015.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) are leading an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act which would mandate government records related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) carry the presumption of disclosure.
‘For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained, and it’s long past time they get some answers,’ said Schumer.
‘The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena. We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public.’
