Roswell, New Mexico: World's Most Popular UFO Crash Site

Roswell in New Mexico is the world's most popular UFO crash site. Here are the details as to how the reported event shaped the place.

Regardless of innumerable alien investigators pouring over the evidence from the purported UFO crash which reportedly comprised aliens, both alive and dead inside the wreckage, the riddle has never been decoded. On July 7, 1947, rancher W W Brazel informed Sheriff George Wilcox he had found something strange on his sheep ranch on the fringes of Roswell, says, Express.

Mr. Brazel stumbled across some rubber, foil, and other debris on the ground and told the Sheriff who then notified the adjacent Army base airfield. Major Jesse Marcel, who was an intelligence officer that time, was sent to investigate. Convinced apparently that the rancher found the first evidence of aliens and that they were staring at the remains of flying saucer, he reported the story to officer Walter Haut.

The incident greatly influenced the Roswell's tourism. Roswell is the fifth largest city in New Mexico. It is the home of several industries, such as farming, dairying, and ranching, and it offers a variety of things to see and do. Roswell has something for everyone, from archeological and historical sites, excellent museums, galleries, and cultural institutions to a wide range of outdoor activities.

You can go swimming and boat at Bottomless Lakes State Park and avian viewing and fishing at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Roswell. In addition, the Spring River Park and Zoo display exotic animals, an antique carousel, and a child-friendly fishing lake. Furthermore, art lovers can head to the Roswell Museum and history buffs can visit the grand Historical Center of Southeast New Mexico. The town's most favorite tourist attraction, however, is the International UFO Museum and Research Center.
