A Roswell alien streetlight
Visitors to Roswell New Mexico can see works by Peter Hurd and Georgia O’Keefe at the Roswell Museum of Art, or enjoy the endangered Mexican Wolf exhibit at the Living Desert Zoo & Garden, but come on; you and I both know that people go to Roswell for the UFO’s. The 1947 crash of a secret military weather balloon has put Roswell on the map for true believers in spite of nearly six decades of debunking. Aliens fever is ubiquitous throughout Roswell, but the sense of humor the town has about it keeps the whole thing from becoming too obnoxious. So head on over to the International UFO Museum & Research Center for the whole story of the famous 1947 “incident” before you grab a Space Burger at the Crash Down Diner.
