A major liberal falsehood of the mid-20th century was that intelligent life in outer space must exist, and that America should spend billions looking for it. This falsehood had political overtones in favor of nuclear disarmament, globalism, environmentalism, government spending and atheism. Leaders who were strong advocates that intelligent life must exist in outer space were:
Jimmy Carter[Citation Needed]
Carl Sagan[Citation Needed]
Adolf Hitler[Citation Needed]
Ronald Reagan "I think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?" (emphasis added),
