Roswell

The Roswell Incident refers to a reported crash of an unidentified flying object (UFO) near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. The U.S. military initially announced the recovery of a 'flying disc,' but later retracted the statement, claiming it was a weather balloon. The incident has fueled decades of speculation and conspiracy theories about alien visitation.

The International UFO Museum and Research Center is a must-visit, offering exhibits on the Roswell Incident and other UFO-related phenomena. Other attractions include the Roswell Spacewalk, the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art, and various alien-themed shops and restaurants along Main Street.

The best time to visit Roswell is during the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot, and winters can be cold, but the city is open to visitors year-round.
