This even makes the TV news as I write this, well, Russia Today anyway!

The article really doesn't say anything and like usual, no proof.

Granted, but theres never any 'proof' with any sighting/meeting/encounter is there? If there was, we'd know once and for all the ET scenario was proven!

But its good that the press will run stories like this instead of brushing it all under the carpet, IMO!

It's a story that has circulated in and out of the UFO community for years: Did former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower have three meetings with extraterrestrials?

An ex-government consultant says the story is true that the 34th commander in chief chatted, if you will, with aliens at a New Mexico air base, according to reports.

No definitive proof has ever surfaced to confirm this president-meets-aliens tale. However, according to Timothy Good, Eisenhower and FBI officials arranged for the out-of-this-world summit at Holloman Air Force Base.

"Aliens have made both formal and informal contact with thousands of people throughout the world from all walks of life," Good, an author, lecturer and former consultant to Congress and the Pentagon, said on Frank Skinner's BBC2 program, "Opinionated."

Eisenhower Met With ETs Says Ex-Government Consultant

[Oppono Astos]

Tim Good isn't the credible source that he seemed to be way back in the 90s

[HMS Dreadnought]

Have always held the opinion that this is true about Eisenhower holding the meetings with them

[King Fluffs]

I heard he courted aliens too...

[Tesla II]

Ye they were Borg trying to assimilate him.

[27vet]

Maybe Eisenhower was an alien himself.

I'm just content, that it MADE the news, being such an old story...could this be more subtle disclosure?

Are we being primed by the media to accept the ET hypothesis?  (even tho us lot already do)

so that one day not far away, we will be informed it WAS true all along but NOW we are ready for it?

There could be proof.

1) Witness statements- the article says there were "many witnesses", they could be found and questioned.
2) Film footage- either videos or photos. Was there a security camera in the room, hidden or visible? Was there a photographer present?
3) Were there records kept about each meeting? Was there a stenographer writing down the discussions?
4) Any other physical evidence left behind?
5) is the source of the information reliable? I believe this is an aspect of any story that should be looked into. I'll admit here that I don't know the credibility of this source, hoping someone else might.

The list above is applied to this news article, but in general could be used for many other cases such as other alleged contacts with aliens. So yes, there are ways to obtain more information and possible "proof" (depending on what you would consider proof) on these stories. Just because it's difficult to find proof doesn't mean it isn't there. or it could be a total hogwash story where there really is nothing to research.

And gosh we wouldn't want that.

Brushing what under the carpet? Fictitious stories that have nothing to do with reality?

One more: time, date, and location. Every moment of the President's activities are documented. He is always around other people. If the story can't give a time, date, and location of the meeting, that's because any that they make up will contradict with what the President was actually doing.

Do not! Do not...apply current logic to 40 or 50 years ago. I suspect 40 or 50 years ago the presidents did many things....'unaccounted for' and had free time unobserved..
