In reply to the discussion: CIA admits to being responsible for at least half of UFO sightings in the 50s and 60s [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)Yup. And he lays down exactly what he saw that night, and what he did not see (i.e., an alien spacecraft).
SGU host, Steven Novella drills down on the topic with President Carter.
So the UFO kooks can just kick sand. From the horses mouth, Jimmy denies what the UFO kooks are saying. In fact, in the interview Steve had to inform President Carter what the UFO kooks were saying about this so-called encounter. His grandson set up the interview because he was a regular SGU listener and the panel had cited Jimmy as a world leader who had endorsed UFO aliens in a previous episode. (At least according to those who believe such things)
The interview sets it all out and Carter explains clearly that he never thought it was an alien spaceship, counter to the UFO kook claims.
And Jimmy is a nuclear physicist and served on a nuke sub. He also has been an avid amateur astronomer.

Here is the SGU Home page where you can grab the interview in audio, unfortunately no direct link via Google. It is episode 105.

Anybody who cites Jimmy Carter as a UFO space alien believer is a fucking liar, or is delusional. You choose.
My best regards.
