Interesting tidbit I hadn't heard before re: Carter and the Pentagon using a psychic to find a lost plane:<br><br>--<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/375209p-318847c.html">www.nydailynews.com/front...8847c.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Prez Carter Ponders The Paranormal<br><br>As President, Jimmy Carter may not have consulted an astrologer <br>to decide the details of his schedule - a la Nancy Reagan <br>directing her husband's busy days.<br><br>But Ronald Reagan's predecessor did once employ a woman in a <br>trance to locate a downed government plane in Africa.<br><br>"We had a plane go down in the Central African Republic. A twin-<br>engine plane. Small plane. And we couldn't find it," the 81-<br>year-old 39th President reveals to GQ magazine's Wil S. Hylton. <br>"So we oriented satellites that were going around the Earth <br>every 90 minutes to fly over that spot where we thought it might <br>be and take photographs. We couldn't find it."<br><br>Carter continues: "The director of the CIA came and told me that <br>he had contacted a woman in California who claimed to have <br>supernatural capabilities. And she went into a trance and she <br>wrote down latitudes and longitudes, and we sent our satellite <br>over that latitude and longitude, and there was the plane."<br><br>Digging deeper into his personal X-Files, Carter claims he once <br>sighted a UFO.<br><br>"I've never believed that it came from Mars... But I saw an <br>object one night when I was preparing to give a speech to a <br>Lions Club," Carter says. "There were about 25 of us men <br>standing around... And all of a sudden, one of the men looked up <br>and said, 'Look, over in the west.' And there was a bright light <br>in the sky... <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>t got closer and closer to us.
