You may not be so disappointed when you realize how important a month September is. Many significant moments have happened in September, according to
This Month in UFO History. For example, MIBs first appeared in September 1953:
"September 1953 - MIBs (Men In Black) First Appear
It was in September 1953, that three agents of a silence group made their first in-person visit. Albert K. Bender, who had organized an international flying-saucer bureau, was their target.
According to ufologist Gray Barker, Bender had received certain data which he felt provided the missing pieces for a theory concerning the origin of flying saucers. Bender wrote down his thesis and sent it off to a friend he felt he could trust. When the three men appeared at Benders door, one of them held that letter in his hand.
The three men told Bender that among the many saucer researchers he had been the one to stumble upon the correct answer to the flying saucer enigma. Then they filled him in on the details. Bender became ill. He was unable to eat for three days.
UFO investigators Dominik Lucchesi and August C. Roberts called on Bender and encouraged him to break his silence concerning the mysterious men in black.
'They were pretty rough with me,' Bender told them, 'Two men did all the talking and the other kept watching me all the time they were here. He didn't take his eyes off me.'
Bender went on to say that when people found out the truth about flying saucers there would be dramatic changes in all things. Science, especially would suffer a major blow. Political structures would topple. Mass confusion would reign. Roberts and Lucchesi kept chipping away at Benders wall of silence, but to most of their queries they received only a noncommittal 'I cannot answer that'. (source:

I suspect that you, as a Liberal who automatically opposes SDI because you hate America, simply dislike September because it is also the month that Reagan told the UN that SDI would protect us against alien invasion:
"September 17, 1987 - President Reagan's UN Speech Mentions Alien Invasion
While hawking his SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) plan for space platforms capable of knocking out intercontinental ballistic missles, President Ronald Reagan shocked the world by suggesting, in rather blunt terms, that such space-based defenses would also assist in repelling an attack from aliens from another world. 'Our differences, worldwide, would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.' ( Click Here to hear AUDIO of this statement, 48k WAV file -- Opening of the 42nd session of the United Nations). Addressing officials in Russia on February 16, 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev disclosed that Reagan had raised the issue of a possible extraterrestrial invasion of Earth during the Geneva Summit on November 18-20. 'I shall not dispute the hypothesis,' said Gorbachev, 'though I think it's early yet to worry about such an intrusion.' Similar attributed quotes from Reagan at other times confirmed this notion he had of a threat from 'outside this world.' Film director Steven Spielberg even previewed his movie 'E.T.' for the Reagan's at the White House movie-room, where the President commented to Steven privately during the film, 'There are probably only a handful of people in this room that really understand how true this really is.' Reagan also had a UFO experience of his own, which he blathered to one reporter in a moment of typically Reaganesque absentminded candor, but during the story his face was overtaken by a look of horror, realizing he was speaking to a reporter. He never mentioned it again. He probably had a sudden flash of Jimmy Carter in a boat being attacked by a giant, swimming rabbit and Carter exiting the White House! (Carter also admitted having seen a UFO)."
