Review:

Roswell is infamous as the purported location of a UFO crash in 1947, home to many attractions connected to the speculative history and legacy of UFOs and alien conspiracy theories. The southeastern New Mexico city has become a hub for science fiction and alien enthusiasts since the mid-2oth century, after reports of an unidentified object crash just outside the city in June or July of 1947. Today, the International UFO Museum and Research Center details the history of the crash and its investigation, along with conspiracy theories that have sprung up in popular culture since the 1950s. Cultural institutions in the city include the Spring River Park and Zoo, which showcases native animal exhibits, and the Roswell Museum and Art Center, which presents exhibits of Southwestern art.
