Don't forget Ronnie 'Star Wars' Reagan mentioning alien threats on 5 different official occasions, including in front of the entire United Nations Assembly while President.
Former President Reagan on the "Alien Threat"
June 1982:
Following a private White House screening of Spielberg´s film "E.T", the President quietly commented to Mr. Spielberg. "You know, there aren´t six people in this room who know just how true that really is." Unfortunately, a press of people coming forward to congratulate him prevented Spielberg from pursuing the point further. Spielberg reportedly told this to Jamie Shandera shortly after it happened.
December 4th, 1985:
While addressing a group of high school students in Fallston Maryland..." I couldn´t help but say to Gorbachev, just think how easy his task and mine might be...if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We´d forget all the little local differences ....between our countries....and find out once and for all that we really are all human."
September 21st, 1987:
Before the United Nations General Assembly: " In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment," said Reagan, "we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you," he went on, "is not an alien threat already among us ? What could be more alien to universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?"
May 5th, 1988:
As President Reagan leaves the White House on the way to Chicago. Talking about the importance of frankness; for a desire for peaceful solutions and wars he goes on to say..."But, I´ve often wondered what if all of us in the world discovered that we were threatened by an outer--a power from another planet." Reagan said. "Wouldn´t we all of a sudden find that we didn´t have any differences between us at all, we were all human beings, citizens of the world and wouldn´t we come together to fight that particular threat?" The president said.
