There have been about a bajillion breakdowns about the Babushka Lady, like the one on “Life’s Biggest Questions” on YouTube. The front image shows a somewhat creepy smile on a middle-aged-ish woman wearing oval sunglasses, a tan trench coat firmly buttoned up, and of course, a babushka wrapped around her head and tied at the throat. She shows up in numerous photos around Dealey Plaza in the area where JFK was assassinated, and some of those photos indicate that she might have been recording JFK’s motorcade when Lee Harvey Oswald took aim. On that note, police asked members of the public who were present at the time for any information that might help them in their investigation. Several women came forward claiming to be the Babushka Lady, but none of them could be corroborated. As far as facts are concerned, that’s all we’ve had for 60 years.

If Babushka Lady had responded like anyone else at the scene, she wouldn’t have stood out. However, pictures of her show an apparently calm lady standing completely still amidst absolute chaos. It’s far too easy to imagine a movie scene where a grinning conspirator slowly turns around and silently walks away from a successfully completed plot. And yet, this is what some claim, especially because JFK was assassinated during the Cold War. Or you know, the Babushka Lady was a time traveler observing and recording what was, to her, already history.
