The Weird Roswell UFO Festival

Bizarre and Weird Roswell UFO incident was the alleged recovery of extra-terrestrial debris, including alien corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, on or about July 8, 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object which crashed. The United States military maintains that what was actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named “Mogul”; however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft and bodies were recovered, and that the military then engaged in a cover-up. Roswell UFO Festival celebration involves an alien costume parade, an alien hot air balloon ride and an alien parade as well.  Roswell UFO festival 2010 is scheduled on 1-4 July 2010.
