On this amazing edition of the UnX News Radio show, Margie talks with the intrepid, Lee Speigel!
Lee has presented credible, compelling stories about UFOs, Science and the Paranormal since 1975, when he produced and wrote a documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” for CBS Inc. This marked the first time that a major recording company offered a UFO-related product to the public via a prime time 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, highlighted in David Marler’s 2013 book, “Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation.”
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. Under the sponsorship of Grenada, he brought together leading military and scientific experts (including astronomers J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee), 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. In 1979, he produced a weeklong series of radio reports that renewed public interest in the legendary 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash.
While working at NBC, Lee researched Air Force microfilm files at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. He uncovered original audiotapes of a 1965 four-hour encounter by numerous military personnel who watched nearly a dozen luminous UFOs maneuver in the sky above Edwards Air Force Base in California. He 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. The program, co-hosted by SETI Institute founder, astronomer Frank Drake, focused on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Between 2010 and 2017, Lee was the chief Huffington Post writer of hundreds of stories that crossed the fields of the Paranormal, UFOs and Science. In 2012, one of his most controversial HuffPost stories involved startling revelations by a former CIA covert, undercover operations agent who claimed to have seen evidence at CIA headquarters proving the extraterrestrial explanation for what crashed near Roswell, NM, in 1947. The story produced worldwide headlines. That same year, Speigel was honored with the International UFO Congress Researcher of the Year award.
Lee 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.”
He was co-producer and co-writer of “The Phenomenon,” a thought-provoking, critically acclaimed 2020 documentary about UFOs (the latest installment of director James Fox’s lauded UFO films). On Oct. 23, 2020, it became the #1 documentary and #3 overall movie, worldwide, on iTunes. And on Dec. 13, 2020, it was the #2 movie on the Apple TV app for Independent films.
Lee Speigel is also the producer/host of an NBC Radio talk show, “The Edge of Reality,” which originally aired from 1982-'86. Lee is currently the managing editor of the UnX Magazine Quarterly exclusively for UnX Media at www.unxmedia.com
