[QUOTE="Astrophile, post: 73871893, member: 338099"] According to [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter_UFO_incident"]Jimmy Carter UFO incident - Wikipedia[/URL], Carter saw the 'UFO' in the western sky at about 7.15 p.m. on 6 January 1969. From Stellarium, on that evening Venus was very bright, at magnitude -4.28, and near to greatest eastern elongation, at about 45° from the Sun. These circumstances are ideal for sightings of Venus; being east of the Sun in January the planet was also north of the Sun, so that it was still above the horizon when the sky was already dark. However, also according to [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy-Carter-UFO-incident[/URL], the 'UFO' may have been a high-altitude sodium or barium cloud made visible by resonance scattering of sunlight. Just such a cloud was launched from Eglin AFB at 7.35 p.m. on 6 January 1969, so this, rather than Venus, may have been the true identification. [/QUOTE]
