BIO: William Carter was born in Athens, Georgia, on January 24, 1974. In 1994, he joined the Marine Corps and attended boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina. After boot camp, he proceeded to Marine Combat Training (MCT) at Camp Geiger in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Upon completing MCT, he was transferred a few miles down the road to Camp Johnson, also in Jacksonville, North Carolina, for Food Service School. Once he completed Food Service School, he was reassigned to Parris Island as permanent personnel. While stationed there, he attended Range Coaching School to train new recruits in the use of the M16-A2 service rifle. He remained there for the rest of his enlistment until receiving an honorable discharge in 1998.
Upon being placed on terminal leave, he enrolled in Northeast Alabama Community College in Rainsville, Alabama, in 1998. Pursuing a general studies program, he earned an Associate in Science degree in 2000. Following graduation, he transferred to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he studied for a year.
From 2003 to 2006, he enlisted in the Alabama National Guard and soon after enrolled at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. While a senior at Jacksonville State, his National Guard unit was activated for Operation Enduring Freedom. The unit was sent to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, for military police school, and after graduation, they were deployed to Germany. There, they performed garrison security and assisted in transporting suspected terrorists from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Like many service members during the war, he was subject to stop-loss orders. Upon returning home, his enlistment ended, but he had still not completed college.
After re-enlisting in the military for a third time from 2009 to 2012, in 2011, he completed a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology from Troy University.
However, in 2009, during a deployment with his military police unit to Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton, Florida, his past resurfaced in a way that profoundly affected his life. The unit had been sent to Eglin for two weeks of annual training in preparation for an upcoming deployment. Their official mission included garrison security and marijuana eradication. During this time, he visited a restricted radar facility known as Site C6 at Eglin Air Force Base.
A long-forgotten memory resurfaced during this visit. As a child in the late 1970s, he, along with his mother and sister, had witnessed a UFO on the ground in a field near their home in Georgia. Until his time at Eglin, this memory had been buried. The experience at the base led him to realize that not only were extraterrestrial encounters real, but that the government actively monitored them.
