The UFO Museum & Research Center was just too good to
pass up. We spent two hours learning about the UFO crash
said to have occurred here. The Roswell Incident Timeline
provides a day-by-day accounting of the events, including
witness testimonies, photographs, maps, and newspapers
with blaring headlines. It certainly seems as if a cover-up
occurred here, but of what is far less certain. Many in town
believe four small aliens died in a crash—and a surprising
number of military men, doctors, and scientists from that time
seem to support the idea that a UFO crash did indeed occur
and that they were coerced into remaining silent. Hmmm.
The museum includes kitschy paintings of the alien crash site
and a lifelike prop of a dead alien on a medical gurney. This
was used in the Showtime movie “Roswell” and donated to
the museum afterwards. There's even a research library at
the site where you can read hundreds of books about UFOs
and access a computer database of UFO sightings around the
world.
Everyone gets into the act here: as we were leaving Roswell,
we saw a sign at Arby's that read "Aliens Welcome!'
