Med en alder p\u00e5 100 \u00e5r da han d\u00f8de den 29. december 2024 blev Jimmy Carter den \u00e6ldste tidligere amerikanske pr\u00e6sident (George H. Bush \u00a0og Gerald Ford n\u00e5ede en alder p\u00e5 hhv. 94 og 93 \u00e5r, men alts\u00e5 men med et stykke op til den \u00e6ldre demokrat).<\/p>\n
I denne blogs interessesf\u00e6re, udm\u00e6rker Carter sig ogs\u00e5 ved at v\u00e6re den eneste amerikanske pr\u00e6sident, som officielt har rapporteret at have set en UFO. Observationen og den senere indrapportering skete begge inden han blev pr\u00e6sident i 1977.<\/p>\n
Selve UFO-observationen skete formentlig den 6. januar 1969, men da Carter indgav sin rapport til International UFO Bureau i 1973 angav han datoen som oktober 1969. Under alle omst\u00e6ndigheder skete h\u00e6ndelsen i forbindelse med at han skulle holde en tale i en Lions Club i Leary, Georgia. En af g\u00e6sterne ved begivenheden gjorde Carter opm\u00e6rksom p\u00e5 et lysende f\u00e6nomen, som bev\u00e6gede sig hen over himlen.<\/p>\n
Selve h\u00e6ndelsen var Carter meget klar p\u00e5 da han s\u00f8rgede for at lave et notat omkring, hvad han havde set.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were about twenty of us standing outside of a little restaurant, I believe, a high school lunch room, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter. And then it eventually disappeared. It didn’t have any solid substance to it, it was just a very peculiar-looking light. None of us could understand what it was.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Carter selv var meget \u00e5ben omkring sin observation p\u00e5 trods af, at p\u00e5 den tid var det stigma, som er forbundet med UFO-f\u00e6nomenet endnu voldsommere end i dag. Han var dog ogs\u00e5 klar p\u00e5 at han ikke selv troede at det var et udenjordisk fart\u00f8j, men at der formentlig var en mere prosaisk forklaring, som et milit\u00e6rt fart\u00f8j.<\/p>\n
Carter blev senere, under sin pr\u00e6sidentkampagne, citeret for at arbejde for st\u00f8rre \u00e5benhed omkring UFO-f\u00e6nomenet.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing’s for sure, I’ll never make fun of people who say they’ve seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hvorvidt det blot er ord som blev lagt ham i munden eller om Carter rent faktisk \u00f8nskede fuld \u00e5benhed er stadig til diskussion. Under alle omst\u00e6ndigheder skete der ikke mere under hans periode som pr\u00e6sident end under tidligere pr\u00e6sidenter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
