Scroll below video for speech notes…

One of the first programs I produced for television was entitled, “UFO Files: UFOs and the White House” which aired on the History Channel. I was the Associate Producer on the show, and I had the pleasure of visiting the Ronald Reagan Library to take a look at his Presidential Records for use in the program.

While researching the speech he gave to the United Nations where he referenced “an alien threat,” I made an interesting discovery in his own handwriting making sure what he called his “fantasy” stayed in the speech.

This is a very interesting piece of history, as it clearly shows how important this reference was to Reagan to remain in the speech, despite his speechwriters trying to take it out.

The images of the speech are above, and you can download the PDF here:

During the administration of President Ronald Reagan, Project Truth was established to address President Reagan’s concerns about Soviet propaganda. The program was overseen by The United States International Communication Agency (USICA), which then became the United States Information Agency (USIA) in 1982; then official absorbed by the State Department in 1999.

They issued Soviet Propaganda Alerts, beginning in October of 1981. Below, you will find various issues declassified and obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
