In 1947, when this would have originally happened, the Soviets did not yet have the nuclear bomb, and Stalin and Truman were locked in horns with one another, and Stalin couldn't compete in nuclear weaponry yet, but he certainly could compete in the world of black propaganda - and that was his aim, according to my source. "The child-sized aviators in this craft were the result of a Soviet human experimentation program, and they had been made to look like aliens a la Orson Welles' War of the Worlds, and it was a warning shot over President Truman's bow, so to speak. Here's some detail from AREA 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base, courtesy of NPR: In an effort to make the Soviet aviators look more alien, according to Jacobsen, the Soviets were inspired by Nazi-era human experimentation and hired the help of Josef Mengele, former German SS officer and physician in the Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during the war.Īccording to Jacobsen's anonymous source - a source she assures the reader was legit, having worked in Area 51 and saw many of the experiments first-hand - the pilots of the craft were children that had been surgically altered to look alien.

So, in an attempt to gain the upper hand - yet lacking in the atomic bomb department thus far - Stalin built a flying saucer-like aircraft, piloted by grotesquely deformed children made to look like aliens ( big head, "gray" alien-style), and crashed it in U.S. had demonstrated its nuclear weapon prowess on Japan only two years earlier, thereby ending the Second World War.
