Jimmy Carter was worried about national security and didn't want to release UFO files.

As he prepared to speak at a Lions Club in Georgia, Jimmy Carter noticed a peculiar light in the sky. As the light drew closer, Carter and the group he was with watched in awe as it came to a stop above some pine trees and remained visible for about 10 minutes. The light changed colors before slowly disappearing, leaving the men in amazement. In later interviews, the former president, who sadly passed away at the age of 100 yesterday, was open about the experience, stating simply, "I saw an unidentified flying object."

Four years after the incident, while serving as governor of Georgia, Carter was asked by the International UFO Bureau to file a report. Luckily, he had a dictaphone with him that night and was able to record his observations while keeping his eyes on the glowing object. He later remarked, "When I got home, I wrote them down. So that's an accurate description of what I saw. It was a flying object that was unidentified. But I have never thought that it was from outer space."

Carter went on to explain that he never believed aliens were inside the object, stating that he knew enough about physics to understand that tangible vehicles cannot fly from Mars and then return. In 2016, a researcher claimed to have discovered what Carter had actually seen that night - a cloud of barium released into the upper atmosphere by scientists from the US Air Force and Nasa, who were studying wind patterns.

However, this was not the only strange encounter Carter had in his lifetime. During his presidency, a small twin-engine plane crashed in the Central African Republic, and despite using advanced technology to locate it, the US government was unsuccessful. That's when the director of the CIA informed Carter that a woman in California with supernatural abilities had given them the exact coordinates of the crash site while in a trance. The satellite was then able to locate the plane.

During his 1976 presidential campaign, Carter promised to make all information about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists. However, this promise was not kept, and Carter later stated that the information could not be disclosed due to national defense implications. Whatever he may have discovered during his time in office is likely to remain confidential following his passing.
