Aside
from the two Presidential memoranda mentioned earlier in this
investigative series, one more leaked report reveals the degree to which
Kennedy was ready to work with the Soviet Union in declassifying UFO documents.
The objective was to prevent the possibility of a mistaken military
conflict over UFOs. The file is apparently a Top Secret NSA intercept of
a “Hot Line” dialogue between President Kennedy and Soviet Premiere
Nikita Khrushchev dated November 12, 1963. Kennedy and Khrushchev talked about the value of their respective UFO working teams to handle the UFO challenge to prevent the potential risk of future conflict. Kennedy told Khrushchev: “I have started a move with our NASA to exchange info with your Academy of Sciences wherein I am hoping will promote common concern over this challenge and ideally have some resolution.” Kennedy was undoubtedly referring here to the National Security Action Memorandum presented on the same day, November 12 1963. Kennedy also stated, “I have also directed our CIA to give me with full disclosure on the phantom areas and classified programs wherein I can better evaluate the [UFO] situation.” While the NSA intercept hasn't been conclusively determined to be real (it has been ranked medium-to-high level of validity), it's consistent with the November 12 National Security Action Memorandum 271 entitled: “Cooperation with the USSR on Outer Space Matters."
The potential risk of mistaken identification of UFOs resulting in an unintentional nuclear war was theoretically considered by NATO as well. According to Robert Dean, a retired Command Sergeant Major who worked at NATO headquarters from 1963-1967, in 1964 NATO released a Cosmic Top Secret report dealing with the danger posed by UFOs being wrongly identified as a nuclear first strike by the Soviet Union. Entitled simply “The Assessment,” Dean asserted it was feared that mistaken UFO sightings could begin an unintentional nuclear war. Dean’s statement validates the content of the claimed Hotline transcript and provides support to its authenticity.
