Following World War II, the United States and Soviet Union had set themselves against each other as the two rival global superpowers. Both countries sought to defend themselves against the perceived encroaching sphere of influence and ideologies that the other wielded. The Cold War was a time of fear, subterfuge, and most of all nuclear proliferation. The power brought forth by the splitting of the atom was no longer limited to the arsenal of the U.S. The two mightiest nations of the time had built nuclear stockpiles capable of destroying the planet a hundred times over. Rumors abound at the lengths that the Soviet Union and the U.S. went to try and gain the upper hand. If some sources are to be believed, President Dwight D. Eisenhower even went as far as to enlist the aid of the extraterrestrial variety. It is claimed that, on the night of Feb 20th, 1954, Eisenhower made a mysterious, unscheduled late night trip to Edwards Air Force Base to convene his first but not last meeting with extraterrestrial visitors. Who were these otherworldly visitors? What did they offer Eisenhower? Why did Eisenhower turn them down?
