Probably bad book about Area 51

I reference this book for sake of clarification and to prevent erroneous purchases. I suppose the book is the result of a mainstream author/journalist writing about a subject she ignores previously, and write about it as she was the first person in writting about it or having original ideas/aportations about the matter (As analogy, the fans of Science-Fiction, and they are a lot in Harpgamer, know clearly the very bad results of mainstream authors writing "Science-Fiction" without knowledge of the previously writted ideas and conventions in the genre):

As examples:

- The Horten brothers developing Flying Saucers and not Flying Wings, and treated as not-famous aircraft designers ....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_brothers

- Pure garbage :

"The Horten brothers were involved in the flying disc crash in New Mexico.

-

And that is that a flying disc really did crash in New Mexico and it was transported to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and then in 1951 it was transferred to Area 51, which is why the base is called Area 51

, clearly they are not bases called Area XX, is a conventional name for the Atomic Energy Commission : http://science.howstuffworks.com/space/ali...fos/area-51.htm

"The child-sized aviators in this craft [that crashed in New Mexico] 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.

Orson Welles War of the Worlds was a radio broadcast of 1938, I doubt very much it contains any description of "grey aliens", not present neither in the original H.G. Wells War of the Worlds.

"The plan, according to my source, was to create panic in the United States with this belief that a UFO had landed with aliens inside of it. And one of the most interesting documents is the second CIA director, Walter Bedell Smith, memos back and forth to the National Security Council talking about how the fear is that the Soviets could make a hoax against America involving a UFO and overload our early air-defense warning system, making America vulnerable to an attack."

It's not a new idea. That idea is very similar to a idea mentioned as especulative possibility in the masterwork serial and film Quatermass and the Pit, about the nazis launching a modified V-2 full of fake "martians" to the Greater London on the WWII, to confuse the Allied intelligence.

A disbelieving Breen offers an alternative theory: the missile is a Nazi propaganda exercise designed to sow fear of an alien invasion among the populace.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatermass_and_the_Pit

They believe that the craft is actually a Nazi propaganda weapon and the alien bodies fakes designed to create exactly the impressions that Quatermass has come to.
