Under the cover of night, on February 19, 1973, another U.S. president witnessed extraterrestrials.

President Richard Nixon made a secret trip to a top security U.S. Air Force base, as his former boss, President Dwight Eisenhower, did in 1954. Nixon was said to have taken his golfing buddy, comedian Jackie Gleason. According to Gleason's then wife, Beverly McKittrick Gleason, Jackie was deeply shaken later that night when he returned home and confessed to their clandestine trip.

As established in Smith's previous work, President Eisenhower's Close Encounters, this meeting was reminiscent of and perhaps even predicated by similar visits made by the president's predecessors, as well as others in the American government and entertainment industry. This in-depth book will attempt to separate fact from fiction. These events were carried off without the public learning the hushed facts and data connecting the two different presidential administrations . . .

until now.
