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.

All I make of it is that the stars are meant as signs, and not reserved to the provenance of astrologers. (If they were, the verse would be "let them be for signs for Jeane Dixon and her ilk.")
Modern astrology is mostly a commercial enterprise like everything else in the Western world. But, so is most TV evangelism. We don't let the presence of magicians and charlatans and philosphers distract us from the truth, do we?
Carter IS paranormal!
Thats no ordinary rabbit...
A "UFO" is nothing more than it's name suggests; an "unidentified" flying object.
I had an experience like that around 25 years ago. Several motorists all stopped and got out of their cars to watch this odd thing for about 5 minutes, then it vanished. While the flying object was "unidentified", I never assumed it was extraterrestrial or anything. I just figured it was some manmade object we couldn't "identify".
It was dirty-brass in color and was shaped like an upright, .45 caliber slug. Seemed to have rivet-like impressions on it too. We looked to one another in disbelief... turned back... and it was gone. Poof!
Would I say it was an extraterrestrial, flying vehicle? Hell no!
"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.
He is a Bleeping Nut case
I'm sure he consulted with Amy as to what it was.
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."
I'm not sure what is scarier .. the fact Carter went along with it .. or the CIA gave him the idea
heheheheh
I never knew that about Carter.
An abnormal ponders the paranormal.
Moynihan was right. Eliminate the CIA
