Will President Obama End UFO Secrecy? by Cristina Aguilar.

 

When Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976, he promised that he would see the public learned the truth about UFOs. He was convinced he had seen an unidentified flying object, but never confirmed whether he thought it was an alien spacecraft.

UFOlogists call the particular sighting "The Jimmy Carter UFO incident." It happened one evening in 1969, two years before he became the governor of Georgia. He was giving a speech at the Lion's club when a guest called his attention to an object in the sky. The object was reported to be 30 degrees above the horizon and Carter described it as being "bright white" and being as bright as the moon. It was said to have appeared to have closed in on where he was standing but to have stopped beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object is then said to have changed color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance.

Russian Migs

Video (1min 31sec): Actual Footage UFO Chased By Russian Mig. UFO chased by a mig 21 in Russia.

We will be looking at the cockpit camera view. This time from the Mig-21. The camera plane and three others were scrambled to intercept an unknown craft flying at very high speed which is visible here as a large cylindrical shaped object.

And as the Russian planes close in the UFO suddenly picks up speed and disappears. You'll notice the cylinder seems to be traveling at the same speed as the Migs and then it seems to increase its speed which according to pilots must have reached Mach 3 in about 10 seconds...

Buzz Aldrin

Video (3min 52sec): Apollo 11 is the mission that put man on the moon. About half-way into the trip, the astronauts spotted a strange object. Buzz Aldrin talks about what they did and having to hide it from NASA to stop any panic. The UFO was never determined.

Obviously the three of us were not gonna blurt out 'hey, Houston, we got something movin' along side of us and we don't know what it is'. Ya know? 'Can you tell us what it is?'

We weren't about to do that. 'Cause we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people. And who knows what somebody woulda demanded? That we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is. So, we didn't do that, but we did decide we'd just cautiously ask Houston where, how far away was the S-IVB.
