When you think of New Mexico, what images come to mind? Perhaps enchanting landscapes like White Sands National Park? Or perhaps ristras hanging from roof eaves?

There’s no denying that New Mexico entered the fascination of Americans all over the country following the alleged 1947 crash landing of an alien spaceship. That has only grown over the years with movies, TV shows, and other media highlighting that crash.
While the official story states this was simply a high-altitude balloon used in an attempt to monitor Soviet nuclear tests, others insist this is the first true piece of evidence of extraterrestrial life.

This has led to people associating Roswell and New Mexico with aliens ever since.

You’ll find an array of alien-related merchandise, events, and even museums.
Enter the Roswell UFO Spacewalk, a blacklight adventure that easily captures the imagination of alien believers and non-believers alike.
