We saw a story about this on a show on the "science" Channel...

It was a warm night in Florida on February 19, 1973. Two friends had spent part of the day playing golf and chatting about their mutual interests, not unusual behavior for friends to engage in. But these weren’t your usual friends. They were President Richard Nixon and legendary actor and entertainer Jackie Gleason. And the mutual interests they were discussing were UFO’s, a longtime Gleason fascination.
Gleason and President Nixon were close, as Gleason had been a staunch supporter of the Nixon campaign. But no small talk at a rubber chicken fundraising dinner could prepare “the Great One” for that night, when President Nixon suddenly showed up at midnight at Gleason’s front door in Key Biscayne. The President had ditched the Secret Service and was alone.[Personally I'm having a little trouble with the idea of the POTUS "ditching" his Secret Service detail, securing a private car, driving up to Gleason's estate and then driving on undetected in the middle of the night up I-95 to Homestead Air Force Base, but that's probably because I'm a sheeple who's been brainwashed by the MOTU] And he wasn’t there to simply chat about aliens, but to reveal them.
Nixon and Gleason drove through the night and arrived at Homestead Air Force Base, 35 miles southwest of Miami. After entering the base, Nixon drove to a heavily-guarded building at the far end of the compound. They walked into the facility and what happened next was so shocking that only Gleason’s words can do it justice:
There were a number of labs we passed through first before we entered a section where Nixon pointed out what he said was the wreckage from a flying saucer, enclosed in several large cases. Next, we went into an inner chamber and there were six or eight of what looked like glass-topped Coke freezers. Inside them were the mangled remains of what I took to be children.
The revelation of the US secretly holding the corpses of dead aliens shook Gleason to the core,[well, that's certainly understandable] and he couldn’t eat or sleep for weeks. After being confronted by his wife, Beverly, Gleason told her the truth about that night [So he was confronted by his wife about where he was that night and this is the story he came up with? "Well baby, you're never gonna believe this, but Dick Nixon drove up to the house all by himself and took me to see alien bodies at Homestead Air Force Base; I swear that's the truth..."]and swore her to secrecy.
But Jackie and Beverly Gleason were already in the process of separating. The final straw in the relationship would be Beverly breaking her vow and revealing the encounter to the magazine Esquire in 1974, as a teaser for a book she was writing about her relationship with the tempestuous, hard drinking Jackie
