The greatest and most expansive war in history, World War II, has just ended. The United States, along with the rest of the world, is trying to enjoy the peace that comes after the storm.
However, an incident in the small town of Roswell, New Mexico is making waves. In June of 1947, locals claim to have seen an extraterrestrial aircraft crash into the farmland surrounding Roswell. The government asserts that the wreckage comes from a mere Air Force balloon.
Whatever the case, there is more here than meets the eye. Hundreds of federal personnel surround the wreckage, refusing to let anyone in.
Taking notice, the Soviet Union is rising in the ashes of Eastern Europe and are keen to find any weakness in the free West. Spies run rampant, latching on to sensitive information that could cripple the nation.
With both foreign and domestic threats looming on the horizon, these hypothetical aliens will shape the course of history.
