This video contains all three famous "alien threat" speeches given by President Ronald Reagan. The speeches were given in 1985, 1987, and 1988. _________________________________ "... when you stop to think that we're all God's children, wherever we may live in the world, I couldn't help but say to him, just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held 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 that we have between our countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together..." Remarks to the Students and Faculty at Fallston High School in Fallston, Maryland, on December 4, 1985 _________________________________ "In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, 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." Address to the 42d Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York, on September 21, 1987 _________________________________ "But I've often wondered, What if all of us in the world discovered that we were threatened by a power from outer space -- from another planet. 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." Remarks and a Question-and-Answer Session With Members of the National Strategy Forum in Chicago, Illinois, on May 4, 1988 _________________________________ FULL TRANSCRIPTS: http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1984/120485a.htm http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1987/092187b.htm http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1988/050488a.htm _________________________________ A short excerpt from a Steven Spielberg interview by Quint (aka Eric Vespe) of Ain't It Cool News: Quint: Now, I've heard a story that I wanted to run by you. I have no idea if it's true, but an effects friend of mine told me about a special screening of E.T. for Ronald Reagan. Have you heard this story? Steven Spielberg: I was there! Quint: The story I heard is that when Reagan saw it he started talking about how close to reality it was and he was quickly ushered out of the room. Is that true? Steven Spielberg: No, he wasn't ushered out of the room. He was the President of the United States! Nobody could usher Ronald Reagan out of the room! It was in the White House screening room and Reagan got up to thank me for bringing the film to show the President, the First Lady and all of their guests, which included Sandra Day O'Connor in her first week of as a Justice of the Supreme Court, and it included some astronauts... I think Neil Armstrong was there, I'm not 100% certain, but it was an amazing, amazing evening. He just stood up and he looked around the room, almost like he was doing a headcount, and he said, "I wanted to thank you for bringing E.T. to the White House. We really enjoyed your movie," and then he looked around the room and said, "And there are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true." And he said it without smiling! But he said that and everybody laughed, by the way. The whole room laughed because he presented it like a joke, but he wasn't smiling as he said it.
