The ramifications of Dennis Kucinich’s shocking revelation that he saw a UFO while visiting Shirley MacLaine never seem to end. In this week’s Democratic debate, the congressman pulled Jimmy Carter into the mess, saying that he knew for a fact that the former president had seen a UFO, too. And now the media has pressed poor Carter on it.

“When I was back as a peanut farmer in southwest Georgia, I and about 25 others saw something in the air that changed colors and was round and came and left,” Carter said in an interview with CNN’s John Roberts today. “We couldn’t figure out what it was.”

While he couldn’t identify the object, Carter added that he doesn’t think it was space aliens.

“It was unidentified as far as we were concerned, but I think it’s impossible in my opinion, some people disagree, to have space people from other planets or other stars to come to us — I don’t think that’s possible,” he said.
