The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, remains one of the most controversial and debated events in modern American history. While Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the murder and later killed before he could stand trial, numerous conspiracy theories have emerged.
The Lone Gunman Theory vs. Multiple Shooters
The official story is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. However, many believe this doesn't explain all the inconsistencies.
The Grassy Knoll Theory: One of the most persistent theories centers around a second gunman on the grassy knoll. Eyewitnesses claimed to have heard shots from that area, and some saw a puff of smoke.
The "Magic Bullet" Theory: The Warren Commission suggests a single bullet passed through Kennedy's neck and then struck Governor John Connally. Critics argue the bullet's trajectory makes this highly improbable.
Was it a professional hit?
Was there possible involvement from the CIA and the Mafia? Both organizations had reasons to see JFK removed from office.
The famous Zapruder film shows the president's head snapping backward, which suggests he was shot from the front, supporting the second gunman theory.
What about time travellers?
A photograph taken at Dealey Plaza shows a man in what appears to be modern clothing, leading some to suggest he might be from the future.
Project Pegasus
A more complex theory involves a secret government program allegedly conducted to experiment with time travel technology. Individuals may have traveled back to witness or alter the events.
Did the Aliens do it?
Some theorists claim JFK's death was connected to extraterrestrial phenomena and government secrets about UFOs that he planned to disclose.
