I was very excited when Bill suggested that we drive through Roswell, New Mexico, site of the alleged famous UFO crash in 1947. (Bill absolutely does not believe it, I'm skeptical but open-minded.)

The entire downtown area is lined with “alien” streetlights and shops tourist shops are everywhere selling t-shirts and alien t-shirt, souvenirs, and trinkets. The main attractions are the McDonalds shaped like a space ship and the UFO museum.

Unfortunately the museum was closed until the next morning and I was looking forward to having dinner at the Alien Café but it is no longer in business. Bill really did not want to stay overnight in Roswell just to go to the museum in the morning so we left early enough to get plenty of driving time in while it was still daylight.

The Roswell UFO Incident was the alleged recovery of extra-terrestrial debris, including alien corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in July of 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object which crashed. The United States military maintains that what was actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named "Mogul"; however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft and bodies were recovered, and that the military then engaged in a cover up. The incident has turned into a widely known pop culture phenomenon, making the name Roswell synonymous with UFOs. It ranks as one of the most publicized and controversial alleged UFO incidents.
