Tomorrow, nearly 250,000 pages from the Reagan administration will be released for the first time. The release resulted from an April 9 letter to the National Archives and Records Administration from President Obama’s legal Counsel, Gregory Craig. The letter ordered the release of the records which had earlier been held up by the Bush administration.
President Bush never decided if he should assert ‘executive privilege’ effectively preventing their release. In contrast, President Obama decided not to exert executive privilege in the 30 day period set by his January 21 Executive Order on presidential records (EO 13489).According to Politico, the pages to be released contain information on Reagan’s “presidential briefing papers, speechwriting research materials and declassified foreign policy records.”
The papers are important since President Reagan often included references to extraterrestrial life in his speeches. These extraterrestrial references eventually became part of a tug of war between President Reagan who tried to include them in speeches, and staffers who tried to exclude them. Monday’s release of further Reagan presidential records may shed light on President Reagan’s fixation on the reality of extraterrestrial life, and why he was convinced this could unite the world. More intriguingly, they may yield clues into whether he received a secret briefing on UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
During his presidency, Ronald Reagan made numerous speeches referring to the existence of extraterrestrial life and how this could unify the world. In a November 1985 Summit Meeting in Geneva with the Soviet Union’s Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev, Reagan said the following according to the U.S. State Department:
Reagan said that while the General Secretary was speaking, he had been thinking of various problems being discussed at the talks. He said that previous to the General Secretary’s remarks, he had been telling Foreign Minister Shevardnadze (who was sitting to the President’s right) that if the people of the world were to find out that there was some alien life form that was going to attack the Earth approaching on Halley’s Comet, then that knowledge would unite all the peoples of the world.
