UFO Museum and Research Center

In 1947, a UFO reportedly crashed in the desert Northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. The Roswell Army Air Force Base was charged with investigating and cleaning up the crash site. Needless to say, the Army hushed it up, even declaring that the "Roswell Incident" was just a weather balloon.

People involved at the time were threatened with their lives if they revealed what they had seen, or even discussed the event with anyone. Some 30 years later, however, people began to talk and a group of people in Roswell seriously investigated the event . . . obtaining the stories from those involved.

They assembled all of this information, along with exhibits, and established a UFO Museum and Research Center in downtown Roswell.

My son, Greg, and I toured the museum and found it very enlightening . . . and educational. Much of the material exhibited was in the form of copies of newspaper articles, newspaper photos, statements (supported by affidavits) of individuals involved in the incident, from the rancher who discovered the crash site and gathered debris to members of the Army who walked the site gathering debris and people who saw and/or examined the bodies of the four aliens who were reportedly aboard.

One of the exhibits had recreations of some of the debris as described by people who had picked them up originally in 1947. All of the debris was described as being of unknown materials which they could neither bend nor burn.

Reportedly, four aliens were found in the craft or nearby, one of which was still alive. The bodies were taken to Albuquerque and the debris was all taken to Houston and then transferred to Wright-Patterson Field in Ohio. The museum had a model of one of the aliens in a glass case and also one on an operating table with a doctor and a secret service agent nearby.

In addition, there was an exhibit of a hovering flying saucer with four aliens walking around on the ground below.

A model of a flying saucer crashed into a hillside is supposedly a re-creation of the crash site.

Even after all these years, the Government still maintains the "Roswell Incident" was just a weather balloon. However, this UFO Museum and Research Center, with all of it's displays and documents presents a very convincing case that the "Roswell Incident" really involved a UFO, a flying saucer from outer space and that a crew of four aliens was aboard.

We may never know the real truth until our Government, in all it's wisdom, releases the debris and documentation from the 1947 "Roswell Incident".

On the lighter side, Greg did try on a pair of alien sunglasses in the Museum Gift Shop. He looks like he could be from Outer Space!

On a more serious note, if anyone ever gets to Roswell, New Mexico, I recommend the "UFO Museum and Research Center" where you can review the exhibits and make up your own mind about the "Roswell Incident". You will find it very enlightening . . . and educational.
