UFO Boosts Roswell From Sleepy Burg to Alien Capital of the World

In July 1947, Roswell, New Mexico was given the greatest marketing tool--a city could ever ask for--short of an appearance buy the Virgin Mary. Something unexplained crashed next to it.

The unusual debris, recovered by a rancher named Brazel, was then taken by the military to the Roswell Army Air Field. An Army public information officer put out a press release saying they were in possession of a ...

DIVE ACROSS AMERICA
I admit it--I'm overstimulated. It takes a lot to keep my interest--so just seeing America on the surface during my cross country drive to Boston is not enough. I want to see the USA underwater too--the sinkholes, lakes, quarries and other non-ocean waterways that dot the American landscape. So in addition to my mountain bike, camping gear, cameras and and all the other stuff I packed into my Xterra for my road trip east to begin a year-long journalism ...

... balloon...flying saucer...dairy farms...fuel prices...

I don't know what you'd rather chat about over a beer in the local pub, but personally, I'll take the flying saucer. 
Maybe we're all alone here in this unfathomably big universe, but we're not forced to make small talk about cows. We can make up mythological space ship crashes and bug eyed green humanoids to keep ourselves entertained.

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.

... cremated remains) to be carried to her memorial service on a motorcycle. When I met up with Danny, Liz and Dale outsie of Ballard Funeral Home I found out that we were all that could be assembled for a last ride for Sandra. As we discussed the situation I learned that none of us knew Sandra or her husband, Abe, but because Danny is a member of CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association) he was contacted by the pastor ...

... Roswell il y a 61 ans maintenant. Bien sûr, l'armée a pris les devants, a nettoyé toutes traces de l'accident et a déclaré quelques années plus tard, que c'était un ballon à air chaud qui s'était abîmé là! Comme il y a une base militaire dans le coin, les habitants (et beaucoup de gens dans le monde)sont persuadés que les corps des E.T. et les restes de la soucoupe ont été dissimulés dans une base secrète, la fameuse Zone 51! De toute cette ...

...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...

... 600 AD. A copy of a Mayan Tomb-lid from the Sacred Temples of Palenque with inscriptions showing how they could or maybe did travel to other planets and galaxies. The visit was quite interesting. As I had to get back on the road for today's destination, my visit was quite brief and I barely scratched the surface of reading all the material that they had displayed and in their extensive research library. I know what I believe. What do you ...

... seemed quite desolate, with very little to keep the two of us excited or even awake for that matter. Our only excitement this morning was the mysterious noise we heard when we pulled into a gas station. At first it sounded like my brakes were going, which with my luck with cars would make sense. Though, it turned out to be a flap that I must have torn half off when I went off roading to get to Hahn's Peak last ...

... I took that in. They have a very large collection of art as well as "western" artifacts (cowboy and Indians stuff). i found it interesting how there interpretation of history was completely different from that reported and the Indian Pueblo Centre in Alb. I said interesting, not surprising. I then hopped a bus to Tuscon, which would be passing through El Paso. On the bus ride from Roswell I was a little disappointed ...
