-- During several space missions NASA astronauts reported
phenomena not immediately explainable. However, in every
instance NASA satisfied itself that what had been observed was
nothing which could be termed abnormal in the space environment.
The air-to-ground tapes of all manned missions are available
' .
at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, for review by the serious
researcher.
On· October 12, 1973, while serving as Governor of Georgia,
Mr. carter responded to inquiries from the National Investiga-
tions Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) saying that he had
seen a bright, moving object in the sky over Leary, Georgia, in
.
October of 1969. He said the object was visible for 10 to 12
·inutes and, at one point, shone as brightly as the Moon. The
•
regional N!CAP repres~ntative investigated the sighting and
reported there was no evidence to support anything beyond placing
what Mr. Carter saw in NICAP's 11 Unidentified" category. However,
it has been suggested by some students of aerial phenomena that
..
Mr. Carter may have viewed the Planet Venus which, at certain
times, may appear many times brighter than a star of the first-
•
magnitude.
Since NASA is not engaged in day-to-day UFO research, it
does not review UFO-related articles intended for publication,
evaluate UFO-type spacecraft drawings or accept accounts of
UFO sightings or applications for employment in the field of
~rial phenomena investigation. All such material will be
returned with NASA's thanks to the sender.
