Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which U.S. President filed a report claiming he spotted a UFO?"
On this day in 1973, future President Jimmy Carter filed a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, claiming he had seen an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) in October 1969. Describing it as "the darndest thing I've ever seen", Carter reported that "the object hovered about 30 degrees above the horizon and moved in toward the earth and away before disappearing into the distance." Carter, as well as 10 to 12 other people who witnessed the same event, described the object as "very bright [with] changing colors and about the size of the moon."
