The episode explores the phenomenon where UFOs frequently appear during political events. A well-documented case was the wave of sightings that occurred during Carter's presidency in the 1970s. These sightings were not just photographed but also seen by numerous people, including military personnel and even Carter himself.

The show looks at how the US government reacts to these sightings, including their attempts to explain them away.

However, these claims have been met with skepticism by both UFO researchers and passionate believers in the existence of aliens.
