The re-release of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which opens Friday, Dec. 12, and the original version from 1951, could be more factual than you think. For a more mind-blowing experience watching either version of this movie, view it as an historical documentary, and not science fiction.
Be careful though because the current movie trailer indicates a departure from the 1951 script. Instead of portraying extraterrestrial beings as the peaceful emissaries they historically have been in real life, Hollywood again seems determined to impose its addiction to fictional violence on the masses.
Boulder resident, Paola Harris, teaches a course about Hollywood’s role in disclosing UFO information. She has proposed that the 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still (DESS) may have been the first collaboration between the military and film industry. The goal was to get the public used to the reality that “we are not alone”.
Many U.S. Presidents have known about UFO’s from “outer space”. On February 22, 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a “Double Top Secret” memorandum to the “The Special Committee on Non-Terrestrial Science and Technology”. He wrote about using “…non-terrestrial know-how in atomic energy…” and “…coming to grips with the reality that our planet is not the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe.”
The 1951 DESS movie takes place in Washington, D.C. with an ethical emissary from outer space seeking peaceful relations with Earth and warning world leaders to not use atomic weapons. In real life, the following year in July 1952, numerous UFO’s were seen hovering over the U.S. Capitol for hours. Photos of the UFO’s were part of front-page stories.
On Feb. 20-21, 1954, President Eisenhower met representatives from another planet. Dr. Michael Salla of the Exopolitics Institute has offered details of this from eyewitnesses. The purpose of the meeting was to negotiate a treaty in which the extraterrestrial people demanded that the U.S. stop exploding atomic bombs. Eisenhower didn’t go for it. Nine days later on March 1st, the U.S. exploded its largest nuclear bomb to this day. The author of this article was born the same day.
