Conspiracy theorists have claimed for decades that the U.S. government has been hiding evidence that extraterrestrials (E.T.s) and their vehicles have been visiting Earth and partaking in other dubious acts. However, many Presidents themselves may have been believers in E.T.s and believers that there is more to the unidentified flying object (UFO) phenomenon than just cases of mistaken identity.

“Seeing is believing,” as they say.

That proverb was true for at least one former U.S. President who didn’t believe in UFOs until he saw one with his own eyes. Nobel Peace Prize winner and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter had a UFO sighting while he was serving as governor of Georgia in 1969. He reported the incident to the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, according to Yahoo Voices.

In recent interviews he has said, along with about two dozen others, that he saw a bright, multicolored, circular light in the sky that disappeared into the west at about dusk outside a Georgia school. He doesn’t claim it came from out of this world. But he does claim that it was indeed flying and unidentified, according a Larry King Live interview.
