Ronald Reagan believed that aliens would conquer the Earth, and stunned Mikhail Gorbachev by asking the USSR for help in repelling the invasion.
During a meeting in 1985 in Geneva, the American president departed from the planned text and warned Gorbachev about the threat of an alien invasion.
Reagan, referring to Gorbachev, expressed confidence that the two superpowers will cooperate if the Earth is under the threat of an alien invasion. Dumbfounded, Gorbachev walked away from the answer and politely changed the topic of the conversation.
Reagan's statement to Gorbachev at the 1985 summit indicates his belief that the real threat does not come from behind the Iron Curtain, but from hostile aliens.
Reagan organized a private screening at the White House of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Degree in 1982, to which he invited the chief judges, astronauts and other important figures. When the credits started, he turned to the audience and said: "There are many people in this room who know that everything shown on the screen is true."
He really tried very hard to inform the public, even when he knew it was contrary to national security.
On September 16, 1983, US President Ronald Reagan delivered a commemorative speech to members of the United Nations. In it, he subtly hints at the fact that aliens exist and that all of humanity can die if they decide to attack.
President Reagan says: Perhaps we need some external, universal threat to get us to recognize this common bond. Sometimes I think how quickly our differences around the world would disappear if we were faced with an alien threat from outside this world.

Of course, President Reagan had inside information from the CIA and NASA and was told that aliens did exist.
But he couldn't just go out and say that without violating national security rules. So instead … he subtly hinted to the rest of the world's leaders about what he had learned from the CIA and NASA.
He also knew that a small percentage of the other leaders at the United Nations meeting were also aware of the existence of aliens.
