As stated in my 6/11/26 post, I didn't favor all aspects of Disclosure Day, but some segments do linger with me, in particular the fabricated/"recreated" footage of President Nixon showing Jackie Gleason the preserved, Roswell extraterrestrials.
The segment got me to thinking why a movie based on this reputed encounter hasn't been made. Sure, U.F.O. documentaries have covered it, but to do a feature-length melodrama on the urban legend seems a sure-fire win.
It could even delve into the meeting's aftermath, when Gleason was said to have been long-time shaken by what he saw (based, that is, on claims made by his second wife, Beverly McKittrick). It could also cover Gleason's impassioned interest in U.F.O.s, which led him to finance a Robert Cika-designed. "Mothership" home, along with an accompanying, saucer-shaped guest house, in Courtland Manor, New York.
Whether taken as fiction or fact (or a little of both), this one is ripe for a cinematic adaptation. Maybe Disclosure Day will inspire some diligent filmmaker to give it an at-long-last shot.😉
