Visiting The International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell is sort of like a pilgrimage. And you'll have a better journey if you have a little faith and imagination in your quest. If that quest is to meet other UFO enthusiasts, and to take the road less traveled, Roswell is the place.
I didn't know what to expect, but I knew I would be pleased as soon I as I drove into town where businesses have built a theme around the "Roswell Incident". There were crash-landed flying saucers on store fronts, lampposts with alien heads, a McDonalds in the shape of a UFO, and the lists grows. It was kind of like driving down NASA Parkway Houston into the Johnson Space Center.
I knew I had hit the jackpot however when I saw the museum was housed in an old movie theater at the center of town. The same kind of theater, in the same kind of small town I grew up in, that I sat fascinated and spooked by watching classic sci-fi movies. The kind of movies that generated my interest in the possibility of alternate worlds and life forms. Movies like '2001: A Space Odyssey", "Fantastic Planet" and of course "Close Encounters.
Unfortunately I arrived in Roswell in the evening and it was too late to take the tour. However I did arrive on January, 29. The night of the closest, fullest Moon of the year. The Wolf Moon. So I decided to hit the cold, but festive, alien streets to see if I could find any life.
More on that soon...
The last time i went was like 12 years ago when i was in cub scouts. And today i'm going again with my aunt, uncle and cousins from oklahoma.
