1969 Jimmy Carter UFO sighting #extraterrestrial #uap

Jimmy Carter (US President, 1977 to 1981) reported seeing an unidentified flying object while at Leary, Georgia in 1969, while serving as Governor of Georgia. Carter was asked to file a report of the sighting by the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which he did in September 1973. Since its writing, the report has been discussed several times, by both ufologists and members of the mainstream media. One evening in 1969, two years before he became governor of Georgia, Carter was preparing to give a speech at a Lions Club meeting. At about 7:15 pm (EST), one of the guests called his attention to a strange object, that was visible about 30 degrees above the horizon, to the west of where he was standing. Carter described the object as being bright white and as bright as the moon. It appeared to have closed in on where he was standing, but stopped beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object then changed color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance. Carter felt that the object was self-illuminated and not solid in nature. Carter’s report indicates that it was witnessed by about ten or twelve other people, and was in view for ten to twelve minutes before it passed out of sight. In 1973, Carter said, “There were about twenty of us standing outside of a little restaurant, I believe, a high school lunchroom, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter. And then it eventually disappeared. It didn’t have any solid substance to it, it was just a very peculiar-looking light. None of us could understand what it was.“ #alien #extraterrestrial #uap #aliens #strange #paranormal #ufo361 #mysterious #mysteries
