How Jimmy Carter refused to release UFO files over national security fears Around seven years before he was elected US president, Jimmy Carter was preparing to give a speech to a Lions Club in Georgia when he saw a light in the sky.
The president declared he knew ‘enough physics to know that you can’t have vehicles that are tangible in nature flying from Mars, looking around, and then flying back’.
Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, then returned to run his family's peanut farm in Plains, Georgia, before serving as the governor of Georgia from 1970-1975.
