Thank you my friend LTC (Join to see) for making us aware that you are 'watching a TV show on the Canadian History Channel call UFOs : the White House file.
It is interesting and unsurprising that the focus is on 'President Carter and President Reagan both [apparently seeing] UFOs. They both saw them before they became president.'
UFO is unidentified flying object after all
Weird UFO sightings seems to be a newsworthy title hearkening back to Orson Welles War if the Worlds :-)


UFO encounters Air Force One, the official aircraft of the President of the United States
There are a great many stories about US presidents seeing UFOs. Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, was no exception. In President Reagan's 1987 United Nations speech on the alien threat, he stated, "Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize this common bound. I occasionally think about how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish, if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us?"

President Reagan's UFO sighting happened in 1974 while he was Governor of California. In a story Ronald Reagan told to Norman Miller, Washington Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal, the governor's plane was making an approach to land in Bakersfield California. It was during the descent that Reagan noticed a strange light behind the plane. "We followed it for several minutes, Reagan told Miler. "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."
Bill Paynter, the pilot stated, ""it appeared to be several hundred yards away" and it was "a fairly steady light until it begun to accelerate. Then it appeared to elongate. Then the light took off. It went up a 45 degrees angle at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised." Paynter added: "The UFO went from normal speed cruise to a fantastic speed instantly. If you give an airplane power, it will accelerate, but not like a "hot rod", and that's what this was like. I told the others I didn't know what it was.

Flying Disk, Flying saucers? Well here is one on display at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio at the Wright Patterson AFB. This was developed and flown by the USAF.
