In 1969, just two years before he became Governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter was preparing to give a speech at a Lions Club meeting. At 7:15 pm one of the guests called his attention to a strange object that was about 30 degrees above the horizon to the west of where they were standing. Carter described the object as being bright white and as being about as bright as the moon. It was said to have closed in on where he was standing but to have stopped beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object is then said to have changed color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance.
Carter related that the craft was self-illuminated, not solid in nature.
The event was witnessed by about ten or twelve other people, and was in view for ten to twelve minutes before it left the range of visibility. Carter said that, "while he had considered the object to be a UFO his knowledge of physics meant he had not believed himself to be witnessing an alien spacecraft.
Later during his tenure as governor of Georgia, he was asked to file a report of the sighting by the International UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Carter file did on September 14, 1973.The report has been discussed several times by both ufologists and by members of the mainstream media.
in his words Carter stated : “There were about twenty of us standing outside of a little restaurant, I believe, a high school lunchroom,” he said. “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.”
Navy’s “Area 51” steps up security
From Skyshipsovercashiers.com
The U.S. Navy has its own Area 51 but in a much more pleasant location – Andros Island in the Bahamas. The facility is known as AUTEC which is an acronym for “The Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center.”
Since 1966, AUTEC has conducted undersea simulated warfare in the island’s deep-water basin known as “the tongue of the ocean” which has depths well over a mile. The sheltered basin is perfect for testing, calibrating and measuring the accuracy of underwater vehicles, equipment and weapons.
The box encompasses the “tongue of the ocean” where AUTEC does deep-water testing.
THE BIG SECURITY CHANGE came in February 2022, when local Bahamians lost their jobs at AUTEC after the U.S. Navy awarded a $461.8 million contract to the Amentum corporation to operate the facility. The corporation is a leading contractor to the U.S. government and provides support for critically significant programs around world involving national defense, security, intelligence, energy and environmental cleanups. More than half of Amentum’s employees have some type of security clearance.
