Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
Today's topic Jimmy Carter's UFO Encounter, seem like an
appropriate time to talk about this with the current Super
Tuesday events going on. And I found this article here on
history.com. It's titled 1973, September 18th
Jimmy Carter Files report on UFO Sighting.
It says future President Jimmy Carter follows a report with the
National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena
Nightcap on September 18th, 1973, claiming he had seen an
unidentified flying object UFO in 1969.
Now, keep in mind, Jimmy Carter was elected President in
November of 1976, So this would have been just three years
before he became president. And, you know, maybe a couple of
years before he started campaigning heavily.
And, you know, we're looking at 2 1/2 years.
He would have won the Iowa primary in 1976.
This is September 73. I'm talking 2 1/2 years later.
This guy's. I just wrote to the White House
and the actual event took place in 1969, which was only seven
years prior to him landing in the White House.
Not a not a long distance at all when you stop and look at it, it
says. During the presidential campaign
of 1976, Democratic challenger Carter was forthcoming about his
belief that he had seen a UFO. He described waiting outside for
a Lions Club meeting in Leery, Georgia, to begin at 7:30 PM
when he spotted what he called the darndest thing I've ever
seen in the sky. Carter, as well as 10 to 12
other people who witness the same event, describe the object
as very bright, with changing colors and about the size of the
moon. Now that's pretty large object,
about the size of the moon. Think about that.
Think about the size of the moon compared to the planet Venus,
which is what most people like to pawn off UFO's as this is a
very large object. Carter reported that the object
hovered about 30 degrees above the horizon and moved in toward
the earth and away before disappearing into the distance.
He later told reporter that after the experience, he vowed
never again to ridicule anyone who claimed to have seen a UFO.
During the presidential campaign of 1976, Carter promised that if
if elected president, he would encourage the government release
that the that the government release every piece of
information about UFO's available to the public and to
scientist. After winning the presidency,
though, Carter backed away from this pledge, saying that the
release of some information might have defense implications
and pose a threat to national security.
Well, where have we heard that before?
But think about this, After winning the presidency though,
Carter backed away from his pledge, saying that the release
of some information. Well, why couldn't you just keep
that information secret and release to rest?
It goes on, it says here in another article we can find
about Carter's UFO experience. We see this one from
ufoevidence.org. It says, and this is from
January 22nd. It says it was just another fun
night at the Lions Club for Jimmy Carter when suddenly from
the sky a UFO as bright as the moon, quote UN quote, flashed
before his eyes while leaving a Lions Club in Larry, Georgia.
Then Governor Carter noticed an object in the sky.
First off he sees the bright light, then he's actually sees
the UFO. Now this is pretty bright and
he's pretty specific. And if I recall correctly,
Carter had been a nuclear engineer on board a US submarine
I believe. So he's not a dumb guy, he's a
very smart guy regardless regardless of his politics.
And as a somebody with a scientific mindset, he
automatically gives us a description of what he sees, and
he gives us some perimeters that we can measure by.
He says as bright as the moon that tells us how bright this
thing was. It was pretty bright.
It says that it flashed before his eyes, and then it says he
noticed an object in the sky, a red and green glowing orb that's
a little more detailed than what we have on the History
history.com site. A red and green glowing orb
radiated as it hurtled across the southwestern Georgia skies
that January 1969 evening. 10 minutes later, it vanished.
That was Jimmy Carter's story, and he's sticking to it.
Carter, then Georgia's governor, became the first major
politician to risk achieving crackpot status by claiming he
had a close encounter. He says.
Quote, I don't laugh at people anymore when they say they've
seen a UFO, Carter said at a Southern governors conference a
few years later. I've seen one myself.
It goes on. It says meet the fox moulder of
Silicon Valley. Though an insignificant news
tidbit back then, Carter sighting may have encouraged
other people to step forward. You could hardly say that he
started a trend, but he set a precedent.
And recently several prominent people, including two astronauts
and a renowned CEO, have said they too are believers.
Goes on, the article goes on, then says talks about.
Two weeks ago, Silicon Valley legend Joe Fromage quit his job
as CEO of US Web CKSA, $2 billion company that employs
92,000 people. The reason?
He's had contact with extraterrestrials and wants to
expose the government conspiracy to conceal a 1947 plane crash in
New Mexico. And then it goes on talks about
a couple of other people. The point being that Jimmy
Carter by being such a high profile individual, a high
profile politician really paved the way for other people of of
his caliber to come out and talk about their UFO encounters.
And Carter has talked about this on many occasions and he doesn't
even try to explain it. That's what I do like about his
report. He just comes right out and says
exactly what he saw this. He saw a flash of this red
orange light the size of the moon, brightness of the moon.
And they look up and they talk about how they seen this almost
like an orb shaped object there hovering in the sky.
And he doesn't feel the need to explain it.
I did find it interesting, however, when he talked about,
and I, you know, as a young person can remember looking back
and Carter was all about openness.
And that was the 70s, that brief window of time when we weren't
at war, when it did look like people were just sick of the
deep state they were tired of, people were upset with Nixon
spying on political opponents. Today doesn't seem to be a big
deal anymore. There was a general mood in the
country toward liberalism in the classic sense of, you know, a
government being accountable to the people and openness and
transparency. And Carter, he really
personalized that and and tried to demonstrate it before he got
elected. And you can see, you can see the
transformation that happened after he got elected.
It really shows you who's in control of this UFO data and
information. And if you don't call that a
deep state, I'm not sure what you can call it.
I mean, it's just this conglomeration of of secret
cabals, of spy organizations, of security networks that are
private and government controlled that control the
information that's leaked out to us about UFO's.
And it shows right here that even a sitting president like
Jimmy Carter wasn't allowed to tell us really anything about
what the government knew about the UFO phenomenon, proving yet
again that any disclosure that we receive will will come from
us. It'll come from the grassroots,
from the ground up. It's not going to come from the
government, and it's certainly not going to come from one of
these new UFO corporations that have been developed to exploit
UFO data, UFO meta material, whatever.
But I think it's fun to take a look back on some of these cases
from 4050, sixty years ago, and see how people reacted then, and
to see how in many ways the same thing is still going on today.
It doesn't seem to matter who the President is.
The secrets about the UFO's are always kept under lock and key,
and when they are released, it's by some nameless, faceless
bureaucrat deep within the Deep State.
Until next time, this is UFO Warning.
Over and out.
