Did you know.....

Jimmy Carter reported a UFO sighting in 1969.

Only President to ever report something that dumb.

In 1952 the U.S. Airforce reported that 3 Unidentified Flying Objects were seen flying over the White House on September 11, 1948. That's a strange one.

Jimmy Carter saw Venus (I'm not making it up).

The very well documented sights in Washington, DC, which nearly caused a panic, were caused by a temperature inversion and reflected lights.  While there are currently unexplainable sightings, neither of these are. 

I've seen many strange things in the sky (including a U-2), I've never seen anything unidentifed.

An article from the Washington Post on t50th anniversery of the Washington sitings can be found here:

While intially reported as being due to weather condition, that explanation has been found to be suspect.  Of course, perhaps the saucer flyers heard that the new president (in 1953) was an expert strategist and decided not to invade.
