Today's Google Doodle is a video of an alien crash landing, marking the anniversary of the "UFO crash" at Roswell 66 years ago today. The video (and game) have filled our morning with some added fun, so we thought we'd pass it along to you with today's Coffee Break.

What songs about aliens, UFO's, or even Roswell should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break? Give us your ideas and we'll put a playlist together.

Songs Played:

Parliament - "Mothership Connection (Starchild)"

Husker Du - "Books About UFOs"

Radiohead - "Subterranean Homesick Alien"

Ash - "Girl From Mars"

Billy Bragg and Wilco - "My Flying Saucer"
