LEARY, GEORGIA – On October 12, 1973, then Governor Carter responded to NICAP’s inquiries about his sighting with a letter and a report form. Harry Lederman the Regional Investigator handled the investigation. The following are the essential answers to questions on the NICAP form: Name: Jimmy Carter Occupation: Governor Address: State Capitol Atlanta. Phone 404 656-1776 Education: Graduate in Nuclear Physics. Military Service: Navy Carter and ten members of the Leary Georgia Lions Club witnessed a UFO, shortly after dark, 30 degrees above the western horizon in October of 1969. The group of persons observed the object for ten to twelve minutes starting at 7:15 EST. The object was at one time as bright as the moon. The object changed size, color, and brightness. The object was sharply outlined and self-luminous. The object came close, moved away – came close then moved away. It was about the same size as the moon, maybe a little smaller, varied from brighter/larger than planet to apparent size of moon. The object moved to distance then disappeared. Estimated distance to the object was difficult to determine, maybe 300-1000 yards about 30 degrees above the horizon.
 Signed: 9/18/73 Jimmy Carter Editor’s Note: Considering this testimony it is doubtful this was a planet or an aircraft. The brightest star, Sirius, has a magnitude of -1.4, Venus at its brightest can reach a magnitude of about -5, and the full moon is -12. Additional information is needed to determine the exact nature of the object and thus it remains as a viable unidentified object in my opinion.
