As President, Jimmy Carter may not have consulted an astrologer to decide the details of his schedule - á la Nancy Reagan directing her husband's busy days. But Ronald Reagan's predecessor did once employ a woman in a trance to locate a downed government plane in Africa.
"We had a plane go down in the Central African Republic. A twin-engine plane. Small plane. And we couldn't find it," the 81-year-old 39th President reveals to GQ magazine's Wil S. Hylton. "So we oriented satellites that were going around the Earth every 90 minutes to fly over that spot where we thought it might be and take photographs. We couldn't find it."
Carter continues: "The director of the CIA came and told me that he had contacted a woman in California who claimed to have supernatural capabilities. And she went into a trance and she wrote down latitudes and longitudes, and we sent our satellite over that latitude and longitude, and there was the plane."
Digging deeper into his personal X-Files, Carter claims he once sighted a UFO.
"I've never believed that it came from Mars....But I saw an object one night when I was preparing to give a speech to a Lions Club," Carter says. "There were about 25 of us men standing around....And all of a sudden, one of the men looked up and said, 'Look, over in the west.' And there was a bright light in the sky....[I]t got closer and closer to us. And then it stopped, I don't know how far away, but it stopped beyond the pine trees. And all of a sudden it changed color to blue, and then it changed to red, then back to white.

And he called himself a scientist. What a maroon.
Carter needs to remembered for his insanity.
He just keeps getting wierder and wierder
Headline should say, "Pres. Carter ponders the bizarre."
Nee, nee, nee, nee. Nee, nee, nee, nee.
We now return control of your country to sane people.
The greatest achievement of the Carter Administration, BTW.

Go Jimmy Go and take Clinton with you.
He can replace Art Bell on his radio show.

Just in case you needed to be reminded about what kind of person believes in these sort of things.
The 'greatest achievement' was when he left office.
Apparently someone had only rented 1 sheep for the evening's entertainment.
Carter should be slapped into a straightjacket and hustled off to the Shady Acres Sanatorium before he hurts himself.
Who is Jimmy Carter?
Jimmah's clearly been suffering from some sort of intellectual and moral "malaise" for many,many years.
Anyone who says seeing wierd lights at night constitute a UFO is nuthouse material.
