We are back on the road today. We made it as far as Roswell, NM and spent the night at Wal-Mart . The trip here was not too far but we wanted to go to the International UFO Museum and Research Center. The Roswell area is where a UFO supposedly crashed in July 1947. Much has been written, discussed and researched about this incident. The museum begins with the Roswell Incident Time-line. It provides a day-to-day account of the supposed events, witness testimonies, photographs, maps and more info on the UFO landing and the cover-up by the government. The alien prop from the movie, Roswell, is on display there and is quite an eye catcher. They give the information but try not to persuade one way or the other so that the visitor can make up their own mind. We found it believable but not convinced. We will surely do some more research on the internet. A quite neutral view of this incident and other UFO information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_UFO_incident or you can Google for Roswell Incident or just UFO’s.
