The Black Files Declassified

Project STAR | Episode 3 | The History Channel

An obscure footnote in a declassified government file leads to a secret group of scientists tasked with one of the most important missions of all time - protect the president. On November 22, 1963, President John F Kennedy is assassinated while riding in an open car motorcade in downtown Dallas. His death makes clear the failures of presidential protection. Three lead scientists from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA, determine more needs to be done, and it needs to be done in secret. The black budget program and the technology that would result from it is known as Project Star. Dedicated and committed to protecting the president, scientists are continually expanding technology beyond the future to protest the star of the US, the president. Mike Baker investigates.
