People often ask: “Why hasn’t there been disclosure about UFOs?” “Is it really necessary for global leaders to keep the facts from the public?” In this presentation, producer and long-time journalist Lee Speigel explores some of the reasons why we may not have been told — in so many words — the truth. He’ll take the audience on his personal journey with unidentified flying objects that began in 1975 when he wrote and produced a vinyl documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” for CBS Inc.
Next stop on the ride will be the United Nations, where Speigel will walk us behind the scenes of how he was able, and allowed to produce a milestone UFO presentation. His timeline thread will weave through eight years on NBC Radio and then seven years at the Huffington Post, continuing his search for that one thing the public has demanded for decades: Disclosure. In the end, Speigel will suggest that his nearly 50-year odyssey has led him to one conclusion: UFO disclosure has already happened.
Lee Speigel has presented credible, compelling UFO stories to the public since 1975, when he produced and wrote a documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” for CBS Inc. This was the first time that a major recording company offered a UFO-related product via a TV infomercial.
During production of his UFO album, Speigel and numerous law enforcement officers were involved in a historic UFO encounter in Lumberton, No. Carolina — the first well documented, multiple witness, triangular-shaped UFO incident in America.
In 1978, Speigel’s second attempt at UFO disclosure took place on a world stage when he became the only person in history to produce a milestone presentation on UFOs at the United Nations. He brought together leading military and scientific experts who urged world leaders to establish an international UFO study committee.
Between 1978 and 1986, Speigel produced, wrote and hosted nearly 1,500 local and national programs on NBC Radio, dealing with UFOs and unexplained phenomena. Through his NBC features in 1979, Speigel renewed public awareness of the legendary 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash. In the middle of his NBC years, while researching Air Force microfilm files at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., he uncovered original audio tapes from a 1965 four-hour encounter experienced by numerous military personnel who watched nearly a dozen luminous UFOs maneuver in the sky above Edwards Air Force Base in California. Speigel was the first person to bring this enigmatic case to the public in a 1982 edition of OMNI Magazine.
In 1993, Speigel wrote and co-produced “Lincoln’s Music In America: The Classics In Space,” a national award-winning classical music special, broadcast over the Concert Music Network. This program, co-hosted by SETI founder, astronomer Frank Drake, focused on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Between 2010 and 2017, Speigel was the chief Huffington Post writer of hundreds of stories that crossed the fields of the paranormal, UFOs and science. During that time, in 2012, he was honored with the International UFO Congress Researcher of the Year award.
Speigel was featured on the 2014 SYFY Channel documentary, “Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed,” and in 2015, he was a cast member on season two of the History Channel series, “Hangar 1: The UFO Files.”
Lee Speigel is currently co-producing and co-writing the script for an upcoming thought-provoking documentary about UFOs – the third installment of filmmaker James Fox’s acclaimed UFO films.
