Did President Eisenhower Meet Aliens? (SITS CLASSIC)

Somewhere in the SkiesJul 29, 2026

Author Paul Blake Smith, writer of 'President Eisenhower's Close Encounters,' argues that President Dwight D. Eisenhower secretly met human-like extraterrestrials at Edwards Air Force Base on February 19, 1954, using a Palm Springs golf vacation as cover. He says the aliens asked Eisenhower to halt atomic testing, showed off advanced craft and an invisibility ability, and were told the world was not ready for them. Smith also traces a possible second meeting at Holloman Air Force Base in 1955, an alleged treaty, and later visits by Presidents Johnson and Kennedy to Eisenhower in Palm Springs that he believes may be linked.
