Have
DSP satellites detected UFOs?
 |
|
The
Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites
were a series of infrared sensors orbiting
22,000 miles above the earth. The first
satellite was launched in November of 1970.
Originally DSP was intended to provide early
warning of a Soviet ICBM launch. Over the
decades the satellite has been upgraded
to provide several types of technical intelligence
that would be hard to get any other way.

In
1983, President Ronald Reagan revived missile
defense with his Strategic Defense Initiative.
Commonly known as "Star Wars,"
SDI was a program of vigorous research focused
on advanced defensive technologies with
the aim of finding ways to provide a better
basis for deterring aggression, strengthening
stability, and increasing the security of
the United States.

| Ronald
Reagan was the first President of the United States to talk
openly about the possibility of an alien invasion from outer
space. On five separate occasions, Reagan made references to
an outside alien threat and the unifying effect it would have
on us all. One such reference was made in September 1987 while
addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations. Towards
the end of his speech the President said: "Perhaps
we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize
this common bond." Reagan continued, "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 is not an alien force already among us?"
Reagan then backpedaled from the statement by asking another
question: "What could be more alien to the universal
aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?" |
