:You, like many people, are exploiting the ambiguity of terminology. While "U.F.O." originally meant a flying "object" that was merely "unidentified", it common parlance it has become synonymous with extraterrestrial spaceships and so forth. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:09, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

:: Carter saw something in 1969, even before becoming Gov of Georgia. He was being completely honest about his experience, wanting to later express his full support of a better understanding of mysterious phenomona. As President, he, like presidents since, have supported missions (he even placed a message on a Voyager expedition) to places far beyond the Moon. I know of no place he, like Sagan, said that there "must" be life out there. His message on the Voyager was really symbolic more than an actual "message" to LGMs. If you have supporting documentation, then please post it and I'll stand corrected. Otherwise, this article unjustly ridicules Carter for his desire to be honest about seeing something and trying to keep the government open and honest in its investigations of other sightings. And lastly, there is nothing inherently "liberal" about UFO sightings or their investigations.[[User:CPlantin|CPlantin]] 17:16, 3 April, 2008 (CDT)

::It is incorrect to imply that support of the space program, including exploratory missions, constituted an opinion that LGM "must" exist and we must spend billions to find them. There are plenty of legit reasons to explore space, the oceans, and other areas we don't know much about, and many believe that much of that is worthy of government support.
::And lastly, there is nothing inherently "liberal" about UFO sightings or their investigations.[[User:CPlantin|CPlantin]] 17:16, 3 April, 2008 (CDT)

Under the definition we give for global warming in our article (we give the "non controversial definition"), we would be hard pressed to label it like this... see my comment on [[Talk: Global warming]] [[User:DanH|DanH]] 16:08, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
