Roswell is the Grand Canyon of New Mexico. It doesn't matter what the US Government releases the LAST thing any NM offical wants is Roswell: CASE CLOSED.

You got that right.
Last thing we want to do is to de-mystify the mystery. Come and see our beautiful UFO museums and exhibits, and don't forget to hit the gift shop on your way out.
Sorry to say, but IMO if and when they don't uncover what happened out there, it's not going to be what everyone believes it was.

I grew up in Roswell, New Mexico. The UFO museum there is DYING and honestly only receives a few die hards every once and awhile, the rest are just senior citizens coming to their local haunt to gossip. Books still may be selling, and the conspiracy is obviously still going strong, but the tourism industry in Roswell is nearly non-existant.

You are 100% correct. Sorry if my sarcasm didn't come through.
Still, Graves hopes the truth isn't disillusioning. That's because the saucer legend is so good for the local economy: "Thousands of people come to Roswell every year to visit the site and go to the museum. It's an incredible boon to the Roswell economy. Just think about 'X Files' and TV shows about Roswell.

ISomething crashed there 50 years ago and it wasn't a "special" weather ballon, it wasn't classified dummies, and it wasn't some top secret aircraft. I'd say that warrants the interest of the governor and the interest of people around the world.

That's not me, it's Osama bin Laden. And he's a Klingon.
phreak_of_nature, what about the people that are in your state who ARE "beleivers" and want the governor to weigh in on the issue. Just don't I don't see the harm in it.
Also, about 60 percent of Americans don't see UFOs as a myth. I beleive there's enough evidence to warrant the interest of politicians, but I'm not about to get into a "are UFOs real discussion" discussion here. There's plenty of info all over ATS.
Edit: Wait, where does it say Richardson is spending money on anything in that article?

"We're kind of disappointed in Richardson for perpetuating the mythology of that thing," said Dave Thomas, president of New Mexicans for Science and Reason, a skeptics group in Albuquerque.
