UFO Politics at the White House: Citizens Rally 'Round Jimmy Carter's Promise

For President Jimmy Carter, it was “Promises, promises.” For the rest of us, it was: “Please—no more UFO secrecy, Jimmy!” UFO Politics at the White House: Citizens Rally ’Round Jimmy Carter’s Promise brings together a few hundred letters sent to the former president upon his taking office. The letters, postcards, and telegrams center on his election-campaign promise to look into (and reveal) the official evidence for UFO reality and to work toward ending agencies’ coverup of the UFO experience. Researcher Larry W. Bryant’s selection of the letters for this volume includes a sharp running commentary on their import and aftermath. This book will appeal to the seasoned UFO researcher and to the UFOlogical tyro alike. But its content—its cosmic zeitgeist, if you will—goes deeper than the mere pursuit of UFOtruth. “On one level,” says Bryant, “these letters signify the conscience of the body politic, a conscience that rebukes and resists propagandistic erosion from the keepers of the Ultimate Secret. On another level, they signify a bloc of perennial aid and comfort to all enemies of autocratic decisionmaking.”
