Richard Nixon

1973–1994

37th U.S. President; his administration reportedly came close to acknowledging UFOs by funding a 1975 documentary. Separately, comedian Jackie Gleason's wife claimed Nixon took Gleason to Homestead AFB in 1973 to view alleged alien bodies - an account never confirmed by Gleason himself or official records.
