To avoid a winter storm in Albuquerque, we detoured our route to go south. This gave us a chance to stop in Roswell, New Mexico.
We of course had to visit the museum dedicated to the mysterious landing in the 1940's of an unidentified flying object, yes a real UFO. Although it has been debunked by the military and of course we know the government always tells the truth, there are still those who believe.
The museum is filled with articles and accounts of UFO sightings, fun campy displays of sci-fi culture and a very serious research room. Who knew. I guess our unintended detour wasn't the first of it's kind. The museum welcomes pets too, I guess they don't want to discriminate on any life forms, just in case they have another unexpected visitor.
It doesn't take all day to visit the museum so we entertained ourselves with the various free museums in this small town of some 50,000. We were amazed at the quality of art work on display. Well worth stopping by.
My favorite piece a shark created using a golf bag.
