... the time to give me an interview and tour of the museum and research facilities.

She shows me a colorful mural, painted by local high school art students depicting their interpretation of the "UFO crash." There are bright orange flames shooting up from a metalic disk, injured and dead aliens are scatterd on the ground. There are books and videos, newspaper clippings and other things sent in by the public--including a jacket from NASA.

... business aspect of it."
They enjoy the business aspect--and they believe. Richard tells me that there's "no way it was a weather balloon." He has some empirical evidence of his own. His wife's aunt passed three years ago at the age of 100. She was an adult working at the local bank when the crash occurred. At a family barbecue, Richard asked her, "So, just tell me. Did the crash happen or not?"
She dropped her fork and ...

... 8:30 this morning with a flannel shirt on. I noticed at 9 that there was no more cold bite in the air. I stopped a 9:30 so I could go in short sleeves. On the way back through the town of Carlsbad, it was 101 degrees. Back in Roswell it was a cool 92. I like the heat, but I'm glad I don't really have to do anything outside. There is road work going on right beside the campground. There was nothing going on here this afternoon. I would imagine it was just too hot to work outside today.

I am not the biggest fan of desert areas. The drive to Roswell and north from there was desert. It was interesting going to the Roswell alien museum. There are also some of the most beautiful sunsets in the desert, not much in the way of the view.

... sans compter l'appel du sud et de ses beautés ou curiosités! Etant une fan de X-files et de la série Roswell (série qui repasse sur TSR2), j'avais envie d'aller faire un tour dans la ville du même nom... bon, il y a du chemin, mais j'ai vu pire! ;-) Je me mets donc en route pour Roswell et ses extraterrestres! Le sud, c'est aussi le pays du pétrole! le sous-sol en regorge et j'aperçois quelques pipelines depuis la route! De la faune aussi... oh un ...

... painted on their windows, reading, waving, pushing trolleys and carrying groceries! How mad! Our kind of store!

From Roswell it was just a short drive to our campground at Bottomless Lakes State Park and on the way through the park we saw our first roadrunner. We got ourselves a nice pitch right by the lake and settled in with a few cold drinks. Alcohol is prohibited within the campground for some bizarre reason so we had to settle for "iced tea"! It's been a real scorcher today ...

...nice drive till Roswell but the museum stay a nice place, ok it relates some moreless true facts but anyway it has a great collection of items which are serious newspaper articles or funny comics, the visit is very funny...

after this i couldn't locate any military base (for the photo souvenir)...even with a GPS or looking at planes in the sky, they were not...if there is an airbase in roswell, it might be kind of far from the city...

... and which is not only mystifying to the original percipients but remains unidentified after close scrutiny of all available evidence by persons who are technically capable of making a common sense identification, if one is possible." The other displays talked about mysterious crop circles. Are they evidence of visits from some space craft or only unexplained weather phenomena? There's also the wood carving of the Palenque Astronaut from ...

... at NM 13 we turned east towards US 285 and then North on 285 for a couple of miles before we again turned east towards Hagerman. When we arrived in Hagerman we stopped at the Allsup's convenience store and got us something to drink, found us a shady spot and visited for a bit. We then rode North through Dexter and up towards Bottomless Lakes State Park where we circumnavigated the park and all the ...

... of national security. Report all balloon sightings to the proper authorities. Never mistake hot air balloons for weather balloons. Do not attempt to approach a downed weather balloon. Remember, only you can prevent mass hysteria." Inside they had screens with "Latest Weather Balloon Sightings" and were showing footage of UFO sighting videos. I also toured through some of the shops which are totally milking the ...
