Stephen Lovekin Testimony: Star Wars Meant to Shield Against UFOs
Attorney and Brigadier General Stephen Lovekin, who served in the White House Army Signaling Agency under Eisenhower, later testifies that SDI/Star Wars 'was not meant to keep us from a Russian attack... it was there to put a curtain over Russian territory as well as our territory to protect the Russians as well as us from them.' Soviet Military Review (June 1989) later warns that UFOs approaching Earth could be misidentified by SDI satellites as combat missiles, potentially triggering nuclear war. Connects SDI to the UFO phenomenon rather than purely Cold War defense.
