Longtime UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, has weighed in on the Jimmy Carter UFO meeting that allegedly left Carter “visibly distraught.” The first clip is from a 2023 interview (https://youtu.be/U47pT0DpQ-0?si=cqNRUDKMjG3ELgfU) and the second compilation is from a 17 minute video explanation posted by Richard Dolan (https://youtu.be/7coDRQ9Nf5I?si=zDSRcJAn9pf2d5Se) Dolan also expresses openness to the possibility that Carter may have simply had his head in his hands “praying.” Whether he was sobbing or praying, the information he was reportedly given could still have been deeply unsettling. Below is a summary of the most recent 2026 video with timestamps: • Dr. Eric Davis's Claim: Physicist Eric Davis recently alleged that Jimmy Carter received a briefing in June 1977 where he was informed that the U.S. government had been in contact with alien beings (0:02-1:25). • Documentation: Davis suggests that documentation of this meeting exists in the Carter Presidential Library, noting that two names on the attendee list remain redacted (1:05-1:25). • Project Aquarius: Davis links this briefing to Project Aquarius, an alleged classified program that supposedly involved the study of extraterrestrial biological entities (1:50-3:47). • Historical Context (1977): The video reviews Carter's known interest in UFOs, stemming from a 1969 sighting and his 1976 campaign promise to release information (7:04-8:25). Despite this, administrative efforts to revive scientific study-including involving NASA-were unsuccessful and faced resistance from intelligence agencies (9:44-10:59). • United Nations Involvement: In late 1977, Grenada's Prime Minister Eric Gairy attempted to bring the UFO issue to the United Nations, a move that ultimately failed due to opposition from the U.S. and U.K. (11:03-12:45). • Ongoing Research: Richard Dolan mentions that he heard a similar story nearly 20 years ago (4:56-6:12) and indicates that the Carter administration's engagement with the subject may not have ended as abruptly as the public record implies, hinting at potential behind-the-scenes projects like a planned UFO exhibition (13:31-15:27). submitted by /u/E-pluribus-unum195 [link] [comments]
