Is all of the talk about the White House and UFOs unique to the 2008 presidential elections? Hardly. Ufologists have been inserting themselves into the American political scene for decades. And one website – www.presidentialufo.com – is devoted to the subject. Although you would think that they would be happy with Dennis Kucinich’s extraterrestrial musings, they are not. In a blog post, Kucinich is upbraided for his failure to embrace his UFO experiences more publicly:
Dennis Kucinich has always been a darling of the UFO community. He has been viewed as a visionary congressman outside the mainstream and thus prepared to take on the important task of leading the US government to disclosure of the truth about the ET presence. Following Shirley MacLaine’s disclosure that Kucinich had experienced a UFO up close, Kucinich was even anointed by some in the UFO community as the ET candidate, implying that he had been chosen by the ETs to be President just like Jimmy Carter who had a similar UFO experience in 1969 prior to becoming President in 1977. Kucinich’s popularity in the UFO community is also supported by things he did which appeared to aid the UFO cause such as when he introduced the Space Preservation Act of 2005 designed to ban the weaponization of space. This move appealed to a huge segment of UFO researchers who believed the ‘star wars’ weapons being proposed for space are actually to be used against extraterrestrials.
This same “UFO community” had great hopes for Dick Cheney, too. I explore the subject in Cheney, a biography of the vice president.Here’s an excerpt:
