That website claims the following:

"Hours before Ike's church appearance, he was reported missing from the Smoke Tree Ranch. Countless stories have circulated that Ike made a quick trip to nearby Edward's Air Force base where he met with landed aliens."

Aliens? Baloney! They got that wrong for sure. Ike went to meet Tina Turner. (I can believe in Tina Turner!) [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Actually, the "ranch" closest to Edwards AFB was Pancho Barnes' Happy Bottom Riding Club just a little east of Rosamond, CA and almost on the Edwards reservation.

Air Force officials tried hard to shut ole Pancho down and finally, I think, had to buy her out.

If Ike ever patronized the place, it didn't make the news.
