I don't know how you came to that conclusion. Nixon always appeared to be an extremely astute and well connected politician. A page on his
presidential website said he used to stand in and chair the Natl Security Council meetings in place of President Eisenhower, when he was the Vice
President.
I don't know if this story is true, but it doesn't sound
that outlandish to me. They were close friends. His wife is the one that leaked the
"secret", I believe she put it in a book she was working on after they got divorced but he asked her to not print it, but Gleason never denied it
happened, or said his wife made up the story.
I personally believe Nixon was aware of the UFO situation.
