The International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico
Time to dust off your Roswell Incident conspiracy theories: today is Extraterrestrial Culture Day in New Mexico! Enacted in 2003 by the state legislature, the day is intended to “to celebrate and honor all past, present and future extraterrestrial visitors in ways to enhance relationships among all citizens of the cosmos, known and unknown.”
Only in New Mexico… (okay, maybe Nevada too!)

Travels with the Blonde Coyote 
Lived here for 5 months in 2004, went to the Alien festival in the summer and drank Alien wine….as you say, only in NM.
I’ve been to Roswell a couple of times, once for a rodeo, but I have yet to hit the Alien festival! Sounds amazing. Someday!
