Just when we thought we had enough issues to deal with such as health care, education, immigration and taxes, we have one more thing to think about, UFOs. Tuesday night, Dennis Kucinich was questioned about his claim that he saw a UFO over Washington, as documented in his godmother's daughter's new book. He replied "I did" and went further by commenting that the government should "come clean" on the Roswell matter. This is referring to a supposed UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Not that he was doing so great before, but claiming to have seen aliens can't possibly help your presidential campaign, unless you are appealing to the nutty "I have been abducted" crowd. But believe it or not, he is not the first presidential aspirant to report seeing a UFO. According to media acounts, in 1973 when Jimmy Carter was the governor of Georgia, he filed a report with the International UFO Bureau (ahhh i cant believe this actually exists!) in Oklahoma City, saying that he saw an "unidentified glowing object" FOUR YEARS EARLIER ing Leary, GA. Why did he report it so late? I have no idea. But he's not the only one. Ronald Reagan believed he had seen UFOs at least TWICE! These reportings were kept secret by Reagan's staff because they did not want to make him look bad. This is entirely understandable. I do not see why any aspiring politician would want to claim that they have seen aliens. It only makes them look insane or extremely gullible, neither quality one would want for a leader. Overall, I found this article pretty entertaining and hope you did too. :)

I definitely have not heard that Dennis Kucinich has claimed to have seen a UFO over Washington. The only thing more surprising than this claim is that both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan have claimed to see UFOs. Personally, I do not believe in the existence of aliens, and I am surprised that a fairly respected politician can get away with such a controversial statement. Nonetheless, the fact that other presidents have seen the UFO definitely makes me question what they may have seen. I hope for our country’s sake that these men are not insane and have seen something that may be construed as a UFO.
Hahaha, I found this blog interesting. It is quite ridiculous how some people find an interest in that topic. If politicians were found lingering within this subject, they would be seen as crazy. No wonder Regan kept that secret. I believe that politiians should just not linger in this subject because it would make their campaigns result in a downhill direction due to people's assumption of them being crazy. I personally don't believe in aliens, and the politcally educated public needs to keep theire heads on straight and focus on more problems within domestic ones.
