History of Roswell

On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a statement that they had recovered a UFO from a ranch near Roswell. The military quickly retracted their claim and instead said it was just an ordinary weather balloon.

The Roswell incident resurfaced again in the late 70s when a retired colonel who was an unidentified flying object researcher said that it had been a cover story. First and second-hand witnesses of crash locations claimed that one or more alien spacecraft crashed, but there was military personnel who recovered them instead of telling everyone about what happened which would have caused lots of panics.

Roaming the streets of Roswell, New Mexico is an experience like no other. From UFO encounters to alien gift shops and barbecues with actual aliens; there really is something for everyone who’s looking for a quick vacation that is out of this world! Sightseeing around this fascinating town can be done as quickly or slowly as you’d like it- though your time will not feel wasted anyway you go about exploring. Whether it’s sightseeing on foot or hitting every major attraction nearby, one thing that’s sure: You’ll have plenty more memories than photos when all is said and done! If time isn’t much of an issue though, I would recommend taking one to two full days just so you don’t miss anything at these attractions.
