Has anyone ever been there?

I was there for a day... They have a UFO museum which is totally free and you could spend half a day walking through it and reading everything, plus it has a big 'research library' that i didn't even go to.
A few themed shops and restaurants..
Not as much as i was expecting, actually.

As far as i could tell, there is no tour to the crash site as its about a half hour out of town IIRC.. but at the motel we stayed at on main street there was a handwritten note w/ a phone # to call if you wanted to go.. We didn't really have time.

And man is it in the middle of nowhere.. Driving there, there's nothing for over 2 hours in any direction

I have stayed at Roswell before. The strange thing to me is that when I stayed/passed through, the new big news was that the government said they were just testing aircraft in the area and it crashed. I'm probably wrong about the story but it was a long time ago so it's a bit hazy.

I'll probably stop by and look around this time.



There is no tour at all because the land is now owned by the government.
