The book, based on interviews with scientists and engineers who worked in Area 51, addresses the
Roswell UFO incident[1][2] and dismisses the alien story. Instead, it suggests that
Josef Mengele was recruited by the Soviet leader
Joseph Stalin to produce "grotesque, child-size aviators" to be remotely piloted and landed in America to cause hysteria in the likeness of
Orson Welles' 1938 radio drama
War of the Worlds, but that the aircraft crashed and the incident was hushed up by the Americans. Jacobsen writes that the bodies found at the crash site were children. Grotesquely but similarly deformed, aged around 12, each under five feet tall, with large heads and abnormally shaped oversize eyes. "They were neither aliens nor consenting airmen, but human guinea pigs", she claims.
[3] Jacobson also interviews
Richard Mingus who outlines an incident whereby Area 6 was attacked at gunpoint during the preparation of a nuclear test detonation.
