The Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center was created to inform people about the Roswell UFO Incident that took place on July 8th 1947. There are a lot of speculations and conspiracies as to what really happened on July 8th 1947. Some claim that a UFO crashed but the government claims it was a special weather balloon from Project Mogul which was created to detect Soviet nuclear bomb tests.
The evidence at the museum points towards a conspiracy. With eye witness testimonies from the people who were there when it happened. They all claim they were forced to keep silent about the actual events.
On July 8th 1947 public information officer LT Walter Haut issued a press release un orders from base commander Col. William Blanchard which basically said we have a flying saucer in our possession. The very next day another press release was issued. This time from Gen Roger Ramey stating it was a weather balloon. Was it really a weather balloon or was it a government cover up? I doubt we will ever know because the case is too old and there is simply not enough concrete evidence to prove anything. But the UFO museum is very informational and one has to judge for themselves. In my personal opinion, if a UFO did crash, the government would do everything in their power to cover it up.
Since this is an international museum, artifacts and testimonies from all over the world have been assembled here. Including a beautiful carved replica of the Palenque Astronaut, really cool alien theme art work and my favorite, a strange cast of a mandible. Experts all agree that the mandible does not come from any species we have on earth. Check it out below and judge for yourself.
The UFO Museum has a large alien-themed gift shop but sadly most t-shirts only come in large or bigger. On top of that, they barely have any women styles. Being someone who only wears women t-shirts in a size small, I was highly disappointed with this gift shop. Because they didn’t have any decent t-shirts in my size and I really wanted one.
