Carter claims to have witnessed an unidentified flying object in 1969; he remains the only U.S. President to have formally reported a UFO.

President Carter, official statement placed on the Voyager spacecraft <ref>http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features.cfm?feature=555</ref> for its trip outside our solar system, June 16, 1977: "We cast this message into the cosmos . . . Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some - - perhaps many - - may have inhabited planets and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."<ref>http://www.presidentialufo.com/jimmy.htm</ref>
