- Jimmy Carter, Ex-President of the USA, nominated 5 (?)
times for the Nobel Peace Prize. In October of '69 Jimmy Carter witnessed
a UFO.
-
- From "Above Top Secret" (book): During his
election campaign of 1976 he told the following to reporters: It was the
darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed
colors and it was about the size of the moon.. We watched it for ten minutes,
but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure, I'll
never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the
sky. If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country
has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists.
