UFO communicated by Thomas Jefferson

Yeah it seems as a meteor ,, But "Unfortunately, the plate referred to is missing." this thing makes me think twice because it seems that they are trying to hide some facts.

The deion of the path and the color both lead to a meteor. Sure the size deions may be off a bit, but how acurate are they really when looking up in the sky quite a distance away. I think he did a pretty good job of describing the path it took, the time of day and the color. That would be the best that anyone can hope for at the time.

This sounds like a meteor to me. The noise it made, the 'earthquake', and burnt vegetation, seem to point in that direction. It does seem as though there should be other reports concerning this event somewhere.

It sounds like an Earth-grazing meteor to me. I agree.

Got to say the most obvious thing that came to my mind was stellar matter of some sort, be it a meteorite or other debris. Still it is interesting and could quite easily have been something completely different. Good article.

Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO too. In the 70s.

Well the article says the ground was broken up and the local area burned or scorched. It could have been some time before they found the site itself, 1800 was not travel friendly. With out the mention of wreakage, or even rock mass make me lean toward a comet type near earth explosion or impact. It is possible it could have been something like a crashed craft, tho I find no way to really explore it as an idea beyond speculation.

Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO too. In the 70s. And when jimmy Carter became president, he tried to obtain UFO files and documents, but was turned down by another person who would eventually become president, George Bush, Sr.

Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO too. In the 70s. It was in the same part of the sky that Venus was, which he did not remember seeing.

Probably meteorite or comet fragment. Just joking about flying saucer. I don't think an advanced civilisation capable of such technology, would come all this way just to crash onto the Earth. Seems highly unlikely.
