Carter Alleged UFO Briefing: 'Project Aquarius' Executive Briefing Document

According to former USAF Captain Robert Collins, a 'lone MJ-12 briefing officer' met with President Carter on June 14, 1977. Multiple independent sources produce a 'reconstruction' of what Carter was told, becoming known as the 'Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius' document. It is later leaked to UFO researcher William Moore through a DIA member known as 'the Falcon.' The memo describes multiple retrievals of alien technology. Grant Cameron notes that Carter's schedule shows a Cabinet Room meeting from 1:35-3:15 p.m. to 'discuss appropriations for intelligence affairs.' This could have been a cover for a UFO briefing. Dolan notes: a presidential aide reports Carter was found 'sobbing, with his head in his hands, nearly on his desk' following a briefing on UFOs. However, there remains no hard evidence the briefing occurred, and the documents have never been proven legitimate or forged.

Background

EVENT TITLE: Carter Alleged UFO Briefing: 'Project Aquarius' Executive Briefing Document
EVENT DATE: 1977-06-14
EVENT TYPE: disclosure
EXISTING SUMMARY: According to former USAF Captain Robert Collins, a 'lone MJ-12 briefing officer' met with President Carter on June 14, 1977. Multiple independent sources produce a 'reconstruction' of what Carter was told, becoming known as the 'Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius' document. It is later leaked to U

1. On June 14, 1977, President Jimmy Carter allegedly received a briefing on UFOs. This briefing, purportedly delivered by a lone MJ-12 officer according to Robert Collins, resulted in what became known as the 'Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius' document. This document was later leaked.

The Incident * Former USAF Captain Robert Collins claims a lone MJ-12 briefing officer met with President Carter on June 14, 1977. * The meeting resulted in an 'Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius' document, reconstructed from multiple independent sources. * Secret Service agent Marty Venker, who served under Presidents Ford and Carter, believed that presidents could sometimes attain privacy, contrary to the belief that the Secret Service always maintains constant surveillance. Venker stated in his book that some presidents were able to get some privacy. Nixon, for example, often tried to elude his secret service.

Investigation * The source text does not describe any official investigation into the alleged briefing itself. * UFO researcher Grant Cameron has analyzed the modern American Presidency in relation to UFOs on his website, "Presidential UFO." * Lewis Merletti, Secret Service Director under President Clinton, dismissed the idea of a president eluding his detail as "nonsense," stating it only happens in the movies.

Significance * The alleged Carter briefing and the 'Project Aquarius' document are significant within the UFO disclosure narrative. * The event suggests high-level government interest and knowledge of UFOs. * The existence and content of the 'Project Aquarius' document, if verified, would provide substantial evidence for the reality of UFOs and government secrecy. * The differing opinions of Secret Service agents regarding presidential privacy highlight the difficulty in verifying such claims.
