Dennis Kucinich's longtime friend and fellow nutbar, Shirley MacLaine, reveals in her new book that Kucinich saw a UFO from her balcony, and it touched his heart. Mark Naymik has the details at The Plain Dealer's Politics Blog:
Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, "had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."
" . . . heard directions in his mind." . . . Hmmm, a layman's description of schizophrenia? Read the whole thing at the link above, and don't miss this:
MacLaine also recommended in the 1980s that Kucinich visit New Mexico spiritual adviser Chris Griscom, whom MacLaine featured in her then-best-selling book, "Dancing in the Light," describing how Griscom helped her communicate with trees. (Kucinich has insisted that Griscom was not his spiritual adviser but a "teacher and a very good friend.")
Well, a fellow who sees rose-scented UFOs that touch his heart, and learns to talk to trees - no, make that "communicate with" trees, because we all know one of DK's most endearing qualities is his ability to listen . . . well, THAT guy is just the sort we want to elect Leader of the Free World . . .
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I wonder if Ron Paul saw a UFO at Shirley MacLaine's house. I wouldn't doubt it, his followers think he the reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson.

Reagan saw UFOs several times. Here's the first story:
Ronald Reagan's daughter Patti Davis described her father as "fascinated with stories about unidentified flying objects and the possibility of life on other worlds." She compared the "madness" of her father's inauguration day to "a fifty's movie in which flying saucers descend on the metropolis."
Reagan may have gained this intense interest from sightings he had while he was Governor of California. Kitty Kelly in her Unauthorized Biography of Nancy Reagan stated Reagan admitted to believing in flying saucers, and "even swore that he had seen a few unidentified flying objects."
Two of these Reagan UFO encounters have become public. The first sighting story was made public by Steve Allen on his WNEW-AM radio show in New York. Allen stated that a well know personality in the entertainment industry had confided a UFO story to him many years before. As the story had already made the rounds in the rumor mill, there was no question the comedian and host was referring to Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy.
Ron and Nancy were expected at a casual dinner party with friends in Hollywood. Except for the Reagans, all the guests had arrived. Ron and Nancy showed up a half hour later quite upset. They stated that they had seen a UFO coming down the coast.
Lucille Ball in her book "Lucy in the Afternoon" also described the event. In her account of the event she stated, "After he elected President, I kept thinking about that event, and wondered if he still would have won if he told everyone that he saw a flying saucer."

Here's the second Regan UFO story:
Norman C. Millar, then Washington Bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, later the editor of the Los Angeles Times. Reagan told Millar:
"I was in a plane last week when I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said, 'Have you seen anything like that before?' He was shocked and said, 'Nope.' And I said to him: 'Let's follow it!'
We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When we got off the plane, I told Nancy all about it.'
The pilot of Governor Reagan plane was Bill Paynter, and he backed up Reagan's version of the incident with the UFO.
I was the pilot of the plane when we saw the UFO. Also, on board were Governor Reagan and a couple of his security people. We were flying a Cessna Citation. It was maybe nine or ten o'clock at night. We were near Bakersfield when Governor Reagan and the others called my attention to a big light flying a bit behind the plane.
It appeared to be several hundred yards away. It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate, then it appeared to elongate. The light took off. It went up at a 45-degree angle - at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised.
Governor Reagan expressed amazement. I told the others I didn't know what it was. The UFO went from a normal cruise speed to a fantastic speed instantly. If you give an airplane power it will accelerate - but not like a hotrod, and that is what this was like.
We didn't file a report on the object because for a long time they considered you a nut if you saw a UFO.
Paynter added the UFO incident didn't stop there. He stated that he and Reagan had discussed their UFO sighting "from time to time" in the years following the incident.
Reagan, in his discussion of the sighting with Norman C. Miller added that he had told Nancy about the UFO he had seen, and they had done personal research on UFOs. This research had uncovered the facts that there were references to UFOs in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Reagan was telling his story in a very animated way. This led Miller to conclude that Reagan seriously believed in UFOs. He asked him, "Governor, are you telling me that you saw a UFO?"
Suddenly, according to Miller, Reagan realized that he was talking to a reporter. "This look crossed his face," recalled Miller, "and he said let's just say that I'm an agnostic."

Here's the story of Jimmy Carter's UFO sighting:
As previously mentioned, Jimmy Carter is one of two U.S. Presidents who have reported seeing a UFO before becoming the President....
Carter's UFO sighting began shortly after dark on a windless night. Jimmy Carter was standing outside the Lion's Club in Leary, Georgia, waiting for a meeting to start. Suddenly, he and ten or more witnesses, sighted a red and green orb radiating in the western sky. Carter described an object that "it seemed to move towards us from a distance, stop, move partially away, return, then depart. Bluish at first; then reddish - luminous - not solid."
"At times," reported Carter, "it was as bright as the moon, and about as big as the moon - maybe a bit smaller. The object was luminous; not solid."
In an interview with the Atlanta Constitution, Carter described the moving nature of the event. He described the sighting as a "very remarkable sight." This is an important event, because many of the skeptical investigations done on the Carter sighting, have tried to paint the event as a ho-hum occurrence. None of the descriptions Carter has made of the event have ever described it as ho-hum.
Jimmy Carter's mother Lillian also confirmed that Carter had been very impressed by what he had seen. "The UFO made a huge impression on Jimmy," she stated. "He told me about the sighting many times. He's always been a down-to-earth no-nonsense boy, and the sighting by him, as far as I am concerned, is as firm as money in the bank."
Carter had, in fact, described the UFO sighting many times in the years since it occurred. In every instance, including the latest known telling of the story at Emory University in 1997, Carter has never backed off on the spectacular nature of the event. He has also never conceded that was he saw was some misidentification of a natural phenomena.
Carter estimated that the object was three hundred to one thousand yards away. He estimated that the event had lasted 10 minutes. Then the object disappeared. Carter was so impressed by what he had seen, he recorded his impressions of the event on a tape recorder at the time.

Egg ~ Fascinating, but neither of those descriptions given by Carter and Reagan refer to anything other than a "UFO" - which I've seen myself. It merely means "unidentified," not like "a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him." Also, while the Presidents may have been intrigued by what they saw, neither said he "felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."
Sorry you had to do all that heavy typing for nothing. Kucinich is still nutty as a fruitcake.

The following text is the press release spread in August 2006 by the C.U.N., Italian ufological association.
REAGAN AND THE HYPOTHESIS OF AN ALIEN THREAT DISCUSSED IN GENEVA, IN 1985:
M.S. GORBACHEV CONFIRMED THE CONFIDENCE OF THE FORMER AMERICAN PRESIDENT
Last June 23, during the press conference of the first day of the international seminar entitled Media between Citizens and Power taken place in San Servolo Island in the Venetian Lagoon,... the ex Soviet premier Michail Sergeevich Gorbachev answered to some tens of national and local press correspondents. The international seminar was supported by the Venice Province and by the World Political Forum , founded by Gorbachev.
The last but one question...was put by Luca Scantamburlo, Gruppo Editoriale Olimpia's correspondent for the Italian magazines Tecnologia&Difesa and UFO Notiziario.
The question put to the great Russian statesman concerned some public declarations by Ronald Reagan about the possibility of "an alien threat from outside this world" to the Earth coming from "another planet", eventuality that would help all the men to recognize the common bond which "unites all the members of the humanity" (speechs in front of a high school in Maryland on December 4, 1985, and in front of the General Assembly of the United Nations during the Forty-second Session on September 21, 1987).
During the press conference the ex premier Gorbachev interrupted the Italian journalist and, referring to Reagan, said: "Among other things he once talked about it with me as well"; the correspondent replyed: "In Geneva in 1985", without denial from Gorbachev, to whom he finally asked a comment about the baffling declarations released last year at the Toronto University from Paul Hellyer, ex Canadian Minister of Defense (see the article by Maurizio Molinari for the Italian newspaper La Stampa, November 26, 2005, page 10), who talked about the possibility of an imminent "intergalactic war" because of that the United States of America would get ready by secret.
Although the Gorbachev's answer was: "we are in a range of hypotheses" and he concentrated on "the more serious" cometary and asteroidal threat of the so-called NEOs (against that we could use a "reduced armament of nuclear defense", kept only for that), the recent Gorbachev's confirmation is remarkable.
But why did Reagan talk to Gorbachev in private about an alien threat from other species? We are still waiting for an answer.
