Washington, May 26: Former US president Dwight Eisenhower was invited to meet aliens visiting the earth.

Eisenhower was briefed about the presence of extra-terrestrial intelligent beings on earth and was given an opportunity to meet them, Henry W. McElroy Jr., retired state representative to New Hampshire, was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph.

McElroy said he saw a document at the state legislature that made reference to the presence of aliens.

This new revelation comes at a time when legislators are trying to gather support for the creation of an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission after the August 2010 elections in Denver.

The proposed commission would collect credible evidence and testimony regarding UFOs and earth visitors of extra-terrestrial origin, the report said.

The commission would then share the evidence with the public through the Denver city government. The aim of the commission is to brief the people with information previously viewed only by a privileged few.
