Of course it's possible. As it is FICTION.
At least those are all proper genuine established myths that everyone knows of.
I can't say i've ever heard of the legend of the crystal aliens and their interdimensional flying saucer anywhere outside of Indiana Jones.
But it fits in with the Ancient curse and mythology theme of the films.
The gap between fact and fiction does not exist for some.
Surely until actual physical evidence proves otherwise Aliens and flying saucers are the biggest myths going with the exception of God possibly.
I am and I might try it.... a post apocalyptic wasteland is awesome!
Also I agree some of the film was a bit silly...

In a Treyarch interview, David Vonderhaar says that this map was inspired by a scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in which Jones, pursued by Soviet soldiers, comes across a nuclear testing site where a replica of a typical 50s suburb is about to be obliterated by a nuclear bomb.

Aliens weren't the problem. The problem was that Indy was surviving impossible car crashes, nuclear bombs, dodging ridiculous mega ants and all kinds of nonsense.
Indy 1-3 had supernatural fiction set in our reality with our laws of physics. indy 4 had supernatural fiction set in a cartoon reality. So much of it just didn't work.
THIS! I would happily trade my bumpy tarmac for a perfectly smooth jungle track.

This website is awsome for these kinds of questions. They stopped reviewing movies for a while because The Core (2003) was soo bad for completely ignoring physics on.

Indy's refrigerator is thrown in the air and propelled at high speed (faster than a carload of bad guys attempting to race away from the blast) hundreds of yards down range. Certainly the accelerations* experienced during the refrigerator's impact would have been severe if not fatal. However, the acceleration from the impulse required to throw the refrigerator such distances would have likely been even worse. When the refrigerator accelerated on either its takeoff or landing, Indy would have impacted against its metal walls with bone-breaking, blood-vessel-rupturing forces similar to those he would have encountered if he had been throw through the air and landed on the ground without being inside the refrigerator. Instead of ending up as a bloody mess with ruptured internal organs, Indy opens the refrigerator door, brushes himself off, and walks away.
Would Indy actually have ducked into the refrigerator in real life? Probably not. Refrigerators in the 1950s had very robust door latches that could not be opened from the inside. Children foolish enough to get inside abandoned refrigerators and close the door were gruesomely suffocated. Although few in number, fatalities of this type horrified the public. Admonitions about the dangers were ubiquitous. Indy would have most likely viewed a refrigerator as a death trap. The movie actually acknowledges this when one of Indy's friends chides him about the fact that simply getting inside the refrigerator could have killed him.

it was not a direct by the nuke!!!1 it was the shock wave and force of the blast which destroyed the test site.
