This extraterrestrial festival is held every summer in Roswell, NM.
This fun event coincides with some interesting history.
After sticks of metal, scraps, and later, a saucer were found, the U.S. Air Force became involved, and in 1950 even started doing "dummy drops" in Roswell, said to test the falls of pilots.
The Air Force claimed the droppings and saucer were a part of their project, Project Mogul, which involved materials for weather balloons. Due to the strange ways they moved, many believe the government was trying to cover up extraterrestrial findings.
This 3-day event aligns with the original, debated UFO sightings.
Guest speakers come from all over, and last year they hosted 38,000 aliens!
The City of Roswell is extremely welcoming, and this festival is fun for everyone. The majority of the activities are free, though local museums and planetariums have their own fees.
