It aired on Nov. 1952. Who, if anyone has it?

Was Mike Douglas on television in 1952? I remember when Jackie Gleason co-hosted “The Mike Douglas Show” with Mike Douglas in Philadelphia during the mid-1960s.

Mike Douglas mentioned Mr. Gleason’s great interest in ufos. Jackie Gleason then related a remarkable story he had heard involving an unnamed US astronaut, who was about to take off on a training flight in a jet fighter at a US Air Force base in West Germany, when a disc-shaped ufo landed close to his plane.

US Air Policemen, armed with M16 rifles, came rushing across the airfield in jeeps towards the unknown object. The ufo quickly took off before the airmen could reach it, leaving the astronaut and the airmen understandably quite shaken by their daytime encounter.

Jackie Gleason always maintained a great interest in ufos and the paranormal. He was a frequent guest on “The long John Nebel Radio Show” in NYC, discussing ufos for many years.

I can vouch for the fact that The Mike Douglas Show was not on KYW TV in 1952. In fact, there wasn't even a KYW (which was the home for Douglas for years) in Philadelphia in 1952. I think the NBC station in that year was WRCV TV, channel 3. The KYW call letters moved from Cleveland in an RCA/Westinghouse swap around 1965.

Sorry. I meant Nov. 1972. I just saw this error.
