Jackie Gleason's second wife Beverly McKittrick was the one that told the story that
Jackie had come home late one night telling her President Nixon had taken him to a Florida
Air Force Base where he showed him the bodies of small aliens. |

Jackie Gleason knew many US Presidents, and he said he discussed UFOs with some of
them. Like the Presidents, Gleason also liked golf. Here he is clowning with Nixon in 1967
at a Florida golf course. |

Gleason's interest in UFOs was coincidental in that he gained the nickname "The
Great One." The name was given to him by Orson Welles who presented the Oct. 30, 1938
"The War of the Worlds." It was a story about an invasion of Martians that
created great panic with listening radio audiences. |
