Dwight D. Eisenhower's Close Encounter of the Third Kind

Having returned from a winter vacation in Georgia in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced he was leaving again for a vacation to Palm Springs. And, he did exactly that in the month of February 1954. During that second- and suddenly-announced vacation, the president of the United States went off the radar; he literally disappeared.

On February 20-21, 1954, the president was nowhere to be found leading some of the presidential press corp to conclude that Eisenhower had died. One reporter actually phoned in the story to his newspaper. His story was that Eisenhower must have had a heart attack and the paper sat on the story while the reporter tried confirming his hunch.

Eisenhower did show up again, eventually, with a nice cover story of having had a toothache from a known dental issue and was, for more than a day, having it tended to. A dentist even showed up to go to church with Eisenhower in an attempt to strengthen the cover story. But, was it true? Did he really crack a troublesome bridge or cap while chomping down on a chicken wing or was there some secret meeting Eisenhower was having with Aliens from another world?

Ufologists allege that Eisenhower did not have a presidential tooth crisis but was rather spirited away to meet with beings from another planet. Is there proof for this or is this just another part of a grand delusional scheme buy those who want to so badly believe that the U.S. government has engaged a cover-up of their ongoing relationship with extraterrestrials? Well, there is some circumstantial evidence that leads credence to this idea that Eisenhower met with Aliens from another world.

Circumstantial Evidence Number One

Eisenhower did a very un-Eisenhower thing. After returning from a nice vacation in Georgia he announces he is leaving for some R&R in Palm Springs. He avoids and evades questions from the press asking why another vacation less than a week after returning from a vacation.

Circumstantial Evidence Number Two

Records show Ike really "went missing" for the entire day of the 20th of February 1954. The cover story was that he had cracked a tooth eating some fried chicken. The allegations, based on eyewitness accounts, are that he was Edwards Air Force Base.

Circumstantial Evidence Number Three

The then director of Borderland Sciences Research Associates, Meade Layne, received a letter in April 1954 from Gerald Light claiming to have been a member of a special delegation to Edwards Air Force base to visit with extraterrestrials. According to Light he along with others were called in to test the public's reaction to the alien presence upon earth. He claims to have made the trip with Edwin Nourse of Brookings Institute and Bishop MacIntyre of Los Angeles. Light describes five different alien spacecraft and then in his letter drops this bomb:

"President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various 'authorities' and go directly to the people via radio and television -- if the impasse continues much longer. From what I could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for delivery about the middle of May." [Source]

A fourth member of this delegation was reporter, Franklin Winthrop Allen, who had been with the Hearst Newspaper Group.

Circumstantial Evidence Number Four

Some whistleblowers have come forward also testifying to knowledge this Eisenhower-Alien meeting. Some of these men and women have seen documents or who have contacts, inside sources, which witnessed the meeting. Whistleblower William Cooper, an extremely controversial figure, tells a story. He was a Naval Intelligence man for the Pacific Fleet between 1970-1973. In his duties he came across a document that he claims that in 1953, contact was made via radio with an alien craft first seen on telescopes. A First Contact meeting was arranged.

Charles L. Suggs, former Marine Corp Sergeant, claims that his Naval Commander father was at that meeting with President Eisenhower. He alleges that the President met with two human-like, non-grey aliens called "Nordics". They queried the President about our country's atomic bomb while standing in front of "a bi-convex saucer that stood on tripod landing gear."

John Lear of the Lear Jet fame had made friends with the former CIA director, William Colby. Perhaps it was from his close relation with Colby that Lear learned of Eisenhower's meeting with the Nordic Aliens.

From this initial meeting with the human-like, Nordic Aliens no diplomatic relations was established. According to the testimony, it is because the (very wise) Nordics would not give Eisenhower technology because to do so was contingent upon the Americans giving up atomic weaponry. However, the Nordic's nemesis, the greys, had no such compulsion or ethics and a deal was struck with them.

How much of all of this is, "sense-data", rumors, speculations, and hocus pocus conjecture more than it is fact? I do not know. One thing for sure, it does appear that Eisenhower was at Edwards Air Force Base and not at the dentist.
