The unbelievable secrets of Area 51

Cheryl and Nikki Druce are *metaphorically* storming Area 51 to discover the secrets hidden at the mysterious military base. After a top secret mission at the order of President Dwight Eisenhower sent a huge team of military personnel to the now iconic Army base, UFO sightings started sweeping the nation of America. Flying saucers were flying through the skies, and real life (allegedly) spaceship debris was falling from the sky… leaving more questions than answers. Were Aliens to blame for so many sightings in the 1940s, and do they now live in Area 51?! Cheryl and Nikki are going to find out. Expect fantastic nominative determinism, WILD theories about Soviet Russia, and of course a tonne of UFOs! Show us them Aliens!!
