When Jimmy Carter and I spoke about UFOs
January 11, 2025 8:00 AM ET
I have a story I can tell now about an off-the-record conversation I once had with the late Jimmy Carter, about one of the great human controversies: UFOs.
Back in what my daughters now call the "late 1900s" we did a story on a support group at a New York hospital, for people who believed they had been abducted and brought aboard alien spacecraft.
I liked the people, even as I questioned their accounts.
I recalled that in 1973 when he was governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter reported that he had once seen a UFO.
"It didn't have any solid substance to it," he said in filed statement, "it was just a very peculiar-looking light."
I phoned a contact, some messages went back and forth and, within days, the former president's familiar voice was on the line.
This is totally off-the-record, I assured Mr. Carter. "But you were president for four years. You had access to all the national security intelligence.
Could these people be right? Mr. President, is there anything we should know?"
The president chuckled and replied, "No. But remember," he added, "a UFO is simply something we haven't identified.
There are dozens of unexplained incursions of our airspace every year. They're usually some experiment.
You'd be surprised," he said, "how often the Navy doesn't know what the Air Force is up to, and so forth."
"So based on what you've seen," I ventured, "you have no reason to think there's life… out there?"
"I don't know that," Mr. Carter gently corrected me. "But if there is, it has nothing to do with UFOs.
If there's some other civilization out there, I doubt they'd send big, bulky airships. They'd probably just keep watch and leave us alone."
I was struck by President Carter's thoughtfulness, and chanced a last question.
"But if there were other civilizations out there," I asked, "would the government have to keep it a secret? So we wouldn't panic, or feel worthless?"
"The way I see it," said Jimmy Carter, "there's nothing to fear. If there is life out there, we're still all part of the same master plan. God's hands are big enough to hold us both."
As America paid tribute to Jimmy Carter this week, I thought of our brief conversation years ago as a blessing — and a glimpse into his open, indomitable heart.

Did Black Ops Military Team Capture Crashed UFO?

Did the SAS capture a crashed UFO?
Former 22 SAS operator Lindsay Bruce joined me for his second appearance on American Joyride, and we covered a variety of different topics.
I couldn't let him get out of the interview without asking one simple question:
Is speculation floating around the SAS or some other highly-classified U.K. military group captured a UFO true?

Lue Elizondo: I’d join Trump administration if asked
Updated: Jan 6, 2025 / 08:58 PM CST
Lue Elizondo, who formerly ran a Pentagon unit studying UAPs, tells NewsNation’s “CUOMO” that his loyalty “lies with the U.S. government and to the American people.”
Elizondo said that, if asked, he would serve in the upcoming administration. He also said he’s helping “make recommendations” for the government to address not only UAPs but drones.

Huge 'alien-like' insect to emerge from 17-year slumber this year
January 12, 2025
An 'annoying' alien-like insect is set to emerge from a 17-year slumber and wreak havoc across multiple US states this year, scientists have warned.
Billions of 'Brood XIV' cicadas are currently tunneling out of their underground homes ready to swarm across 13 states by the spring.
The creepy red-eyed insects are set to emerge in New York, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia this year.
The timing of their emergence can be unpredictable, but typically the bugs start to crawl out when the ground warms to 64F - usually between April and June for most areas.
Male cicadas cause chaos by making a high-pitched buzzing noise designed to attract females which is as loud as a lawn mower.
Last year, the bugs were so noisy that Americans called the cops to complain. Newberry County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina received so many calls they issued a statement to reassure residents about the creatures.
'We have had several calls about a noise in the air that sounds like a siren, or a whine, or a roar,' the sheriff's office wrote in April.
'The sound is cicadas. Cicadas are a super family of insects that appear each spring. The nymphs have lived underground for 13-17 years and now this time they are hatching.
'Although to some, the noise is annoying, they pose no danger to humans or pets. Unfortunately it is the sounds of nature.'
When they finally emerge after spending more than a decade underground sipping on tree root juices, the periodic cicadas do bring ecological benefits.
'Cicadas are a valuable food source for birds and other predators,' the US EPA noted, adding that the burrows dug by young 'nymphs' to feed on sap 'aerate lawns and improve water filtration to the ground'.
Periodical cicadas have black bodies with red eyes and they arrive in droves, unlike annual cicadas which are greenish-brown and emerge in smaller numbers each year.
Broods of periodical cicadas only emerge every 13 or 17 years. This year's invasion, Brood XIV or Brood 14, is the second-largest periodical cicada type at around two inches long, according to the University of Connecticut.
Once they emerge, cicadas are active for between four to six weeks before they vanish just as quickly as they came. Despite their noisy nature, they're relatively tame.
'All they do is just climb up on trees and pee. That's as much damage as they do,' Saad Bhamla, a professor at Georgia Tech College of Engineering told The Hill.
Even their pee is innocuous - unlike mammal urine, is almost entirely just water. 'You don't have to worry, it isn't like our human pee. It isn't disgusting, it's just water,' Bhamla said.
This year's invasion won't be as bad as last year, when a one trillion of the red-eyed bugs infested the nation in a 200-year event known as the cicada 'apocalypse'.
For the first time since the 19th century, two different broods of cicada emerged across more than a dozen states, mating and laying millions more eggs.
Dr Gene Kritsky, a professor, entomologist and cicada expert at Mount St. Joseph University, told DailyMail.com at the time: 'The dual emergence is a one in two or three lifetime event.
'This happens 12 times every 221 years, but this is the first time since 1803 that these broods will emerge together.'

There are more than 3,000 known species of cicadas, and they form 15 major 'broods' in different geographic areas.
What makes these creatures so interesting is the ability to harden their exoskeletons, which takes about five days, and shed it in order to being flying.
