President jimmy carter has spoken of a ufo he witnessed in the 1960's. when he visited panama in 1977 to broker the torrijos-carter treaty on one of his visits ufos were tracked over the isthmus of panama witnessed across the country. as a child i read about this ufo in our local southern command newspaper and in the star and herald which was our english language panamanian newspaper. i believe it also made both the us southern command tv news called scn and local panamanian tv news, but at the time the ufo news was overshadowed by the unrest in the country because of the treaty. this blogger has clickable images of the star and herald newspaper from that ufo encounter plus descriptions of the ufo, midway down the page: http://horadelmarciano.Blogspot.Com/2012/03/jimmy-carter-y-el-ovni-en-panama.Html for years i thought the carter ufo incident was this one because it had been well documented at the time, but now i realize there are two occasions where there were ufos related to carter. many years later i thought maybe the ufo had been a stealth fighter prototype, though at the time i believe the ufo the witnesses spoke of was round. there may be us military staff that have more info on this, or it might be available with a foia. i believe the panamanian reporters and the photographer would be willing to talk to you guys. thanks for the great work you do!
