Ask HN: Did someone dig into the JFK files?
I'm wondering:
Did someone already dig into the released JFK files? Or are there any projects?
Today, in days of AI, this should be somehow much more easy & less time consuming?

Jefferson Morley is a JFK conspiracy guy and I listened to a podcast where he discussed what was released and to badly summarize a conversation I listened to on a bike trainer a month ago: nothing really impactful regarding the assassination, but some interesting (shitty) details about the CIA. He has a newsletter you can look up that I’m sure goes into great detail.
It predates the files release by about ten years but I found Robert Cairo's latest book on LBJ, 'The Passage of Power' pretty enlightening on the coverup (not the crime).
Did someone dig into the UFO files?
well, the comparison is quite far off the track:
in case of Kennedy, there is a real case with whatever information hidden for the last 50 years.
in case of UFO, well - we have some smartphone video (which are by coincidence always blurred due to pixels, even on a 8k 2025 device) and some guys claiming whatever topic.
so, regarding a possible evidence for (X), i would dig into the former, while the latter would be much more fun
FWIW, any interesting information about the JFK assassination is still likely withheld. The newly released files still have plenty of redactions and include a warning that they are not every record related to the case. You will probably die before seeing anything surprising come from JFK's CIA folder.

We've got FLIR videos too, it's kinda what GOFAST et. al are famous for. Plenty more interesting than the Kennedy files, but that's just my opinion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_UFO_videos
I also believe really interesting things, if there is any, did not leave a trace. People who send assassins towards presidents, if it did happen, probably did not write down their plans in detail. And any agreements between the power groups is most likely oral and "within certain understanding", likely built through generations of common interests.
Did you notice has we had no more sightings or tic-tac Air Force videos in the last 2 years?
Probably done testing whatever it was, most likely some kind of tech for drones or maybe even the B-21 or F-47. Just like the "Flying triangles" from back in the 1980's and early 1990's were probably the F-117 and B-2 test articles.
Anything suprising would be redacted anyway.

Yes.
You haven't heard about it probably because nothing in them was a bombshell revelation blowing the lid off someone's conspiracy theory. Mostly they just revealed some CIA intel programs and doxxed some people.
