The man behind The Honeymooners became interested in UFO’s in the 1960’s and also became close friends with President Richard Nixon. Nixon, being good friends with Jackie Gleason, knew about "The Great One's" avid interest in the paranormal and ufology.

According to Gleason's second wife Beverly, Nixon took Gleason on a private tour of Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. This tour consisted of a recovered alien spacecraft and corpses of the extra-terrestrial crew - four embalmed bodies “with bald heads and large ears” from a flying saucer crash that took place in the American Southwest.

"He and Nixon were in contact quite a bit and I'm not sure how that was arranged, but it seems that their meetings were set up by an associate of Nixon's. After he got back, he was very pleased he had an opportunity to see the dead little men in cases; he explained to me what they looked like and he was still talking about it the next day." – Beverly Gleason McKittrick
