There's a new book out about a secret Nevada base called Area 51 and one chapter makes the claim that the UFO that put Roswell on the map was not from another planet, but was from this one. Annie Jacobsen, the author of "Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base", tells NPR it was actually a Russian spacecraft ordered by Joseph Stalin to spark hysteria in 1947. She goes on to say it was piloted by 'grotesque, child-size aviators' developed in human experiments by Nazi doctor and war criminal Josef Mengele. Like others, she claims the U.S. tried to cover-up the incident. Nonetheless Roswell will forever be discussed in theories and in some ways, our lives altered by the event, particularly influencing the entertainment and music world. Check out the video from 1958. And some people still believe in UFOs...do you?
