A Event That's Really 'Out of this World'
Ever wondered what would happen if aliens really did land on Earth? Well, there’s a festival dedicated to just that – the Roswell UFO Festival. It’s a quirky and fun celebration of one of the most infamous extraterrestrial conspiracy theories in history, and it attracts enthusiasts from all walks of life.
The History
The festival revolves around the infamous "Roswell Incident" of 1947. A mysterious object crashed near a U.S. Air Force base in New Mexico, and initially, the military admitted it was a flying saucer. But then they backtracked, claiming it was just a weather balloon. Over the years, conspiracy theorists have clung to the belief that it was a UFO cover-up. The festival, in a way, is a playful homage to that mystery.
When and Where?
Held annually in early July, the Roswell UFO Festival offers a variety of events for alien enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists, and curious onlookers alike. Whether you’re looking to engage your mind or just have some otherworldly fun, there’s something for everyone.
The Events
For the fitness fans among the alien crowd, there’s the Alien Chase, a 5K or 10K fun run where winners receive a commemorative ceramic alien. For those with a creative flair, the Alien Costume Contest (yes, pets included), the Alien Art Show, and a Light Parade and Laser Show at the planetarium will keep the energy high. And, if you're feeling especially "out of this world," you can compete for the Best Alien Award and take home a $250 prize!
Something for the Thinkers
But it's not all just fun and games. If you’re more of an intellectual alien enthusiast, the festival also hosts a series of lectures at the local museum, covering a range of thought-provoking (and sometimes bizarre) topics. Some of the lectures include "Aliens in the Forest," "UFOs and the Murder of Marilyn Monroe," and "Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, and Other Weirdness." Whether or not you believe in aliens, these talks are sure to spark your imagination!
Is It All Just Fun?
Even if the existence of aliens remains a mystery, the festival offers an enjoyable and surreal way to spend your time if you're ever near Roswell, New Mexico. Plus, who am I to say whether or not aliens exist? If they ever land, those of us who doubted might just have some explaining to do!
