- You may be looking for the "real" Orson Welles.
Orson Welles was a Human, famous for adapting The War of the Worlds for radio.
In an alternative 1944, Sal, guessing that the Na'kuhl seen by Archer at the end of "Zero Hour" was not an alien but the subject of a Dr. Mengele-type experiment, also mentioned stories he had heard about the Nazis developing futuristic weapons. He claimed it sounded like something "that guy Orson Welles" would tell. When Archer correctly guessed that he was referring to War of the Worlds, Sal admitted that he was one of the people who fled in terror, believing it to be real – though in light of what has happened since, he sometimes wished Martians had landed.
Orson Welles was mentioned in a deleted scene from ENT: "Storm Front".
