Far Out

Today is Extraterrestrial Day in New Mexico.

Do aliens come in piece?  Are they here already?  Is that weird person you knew growing up an alien?  Have you had an encounter?  Do you believe in UFOs and aliens?

So many questions and so few answers, but back to New Mexico.

As claimed by many, Roswell, New Mexico has been the site of that famous UFO crash in 1947 and subsequent coverup by the Government who claimed that it was only a weather balloon.  Visit the town and you might be convinced.  But then again, maybe not. 

There are many other unexplained events, some recorded on tape or on photos, but there is only one Roswell.

Here is concrete evidence that Roswell does exist – it is a 1911 Rand McNally map of New Mexico.
