Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (1954) is an American lawyer, environmental attorney and politician, the son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. In 2023 he ran for president first as a Democrat and then as an independent, and in August 2024 he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. Since February 2025 he has been U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Connection to the UFO/UAP topic
As a presidential candidate, Kennedy spoke out on several occasions in favor of greater openness about UAP matters. In June 2023, when the claims of former intelligence officer David Grusch became public, he shared an article about them and called it a conspiracy theory that had turned out to be true. During his 2024 campaign he also repeatedly raised the issue of government secrecy, both in a fundraising email and on his social media accounts. This places him among the American politicians, regardless of party affiliation, who are pushing for UAP transparency.
The topic is not part of his main political profile: he is known mainly for health and environmental issues, as well as for controversies related to vaccines. Some ufologists have also linked the Kennedy family to UFO theories, but Kennedy himself does not make these claims, and no evidence supports them.
Official and skeptical positions
The official U.S. position is expressed in reports by AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) and other government bodies, according to which no evidence of extraterrestrial origin has been found so far. According to skeptics, statements by politicians are not evidence in themselves, and most sightings can be explained by ordinary phenomena.
Kennedy has held controversial positions on some public health and scientific questions, which is why opinions of him are divided.
