Roswell The Alien Experience Part I
We started in El Paso, and slowly made our way up Hwy 54 while increasing in elevation. The area around us was a desolate desert with dry sand blowing everywhere. After about 100 miles we noticed the environment starting to change, and we started encountering hills with larger brush along the way. Too our very pleasant surprise we hit an mountain region at about six thousand feet, and the temperature dropped back into the nineties from somewhere around 110F.
Once out of the mountains we went down only a few thousand feet but seemed to maintain some of the elevation. About another hour and a half passed and to our surprise we made it to Roswell. Our first impression was wow! these guys have money coming from somewhere. The main street was the highway a four lane road with parking, and sidewalks all along the main street road. It was about 5 PM Saturday earl evening and nothing was really open. The cars seemed to only pass through town to somewhere else, and know one seems to stop much.
The town infrastructure is very significant for a town it's size, and the police force has new looking cruisers with at least one all white unmarked police cruiser. We also saw some kind of a aqueduct, and where shocked to see this kind of infrastructure. There are also two tall building's that stand out within the tiny down town area.
One of the things that also caught our attention was that online the town claimed to be very focused on tourism, but nothing was open on a early evening Saturday. Now maybe this is a normal small town aspect, but Sunday most things being closed was not too much out of the ordinary.
Area of the famous 1947 Roswell crash site
As we explored around the town we sort of felt we where in an episode of the old TV show "The Twilight Zone". It just seemed odd, and out of place. The Alien heads also gave the area a light creepy feel, and is intriguing as well.
The town has several good hotels, and restaurants all along the main street just out of the center of town. The people where warm and friendly but knew nothing about the towns maintenance costs, and our investigation into over infrastructure didn't go far.
Our small series on Roswell will continue with a combination of history, and our observations.

These are some fantastic photographs. Great post!

Spooky :/
Look forward to the next installment
Followed
Thanks @markwhittam and we will put up some more about it tonight.
Yes it is a little spooky in an unusual way.
Wait until everyone see's the UFO museum :-)
The UFO Museum is intriguing for sure.
Looking forward to next part. Here is a photo from the sister site in Nevada, Area 51 gas station and brothel, with free tours. I felt embarrassed to expose my teenage son to getting gas there, he just laughed and pointed out that we had no choice since next gas station was 80 miles away :)
Thank you @lakshmi We are thinking of going there next.
Try to include a visit to Baily hot springs. You can camp there. 3 gravel bottom pools and really nice hot water.

We saw the sign, and maybe we will check it out. Thank you for the reminder.
Cool shot! @lakshmi
Thank you!
Going to the crash site seems heavily discouraged.
You must keep a look out for more unusual things and post it here. :-)
Something good must be there. Discouraged usually means there is something of value to see.
We didn't see much but with so much publicity you would think the town keep the signs up to the crash site. I guess they don't want people to venture out too the location.
Great blog @exploretraveler.
Fantastic images!
Thank you
We need to goto area 51 next :-)
Looking forward to some intriguing adventure in area 51.
Yes it would be an interesting and another hot trip :-)
Have started reading your work and I must say this is very intriguing. I am in to extraterrestrials and ancient alien theories. Please do share more content of your experience. Started following you, cheers!
Thank you @jessetandotcom

Interesting place and nice post! Outer space life beings and spacecraft is something that makes me very curious as alot of signs of their existence scattered over the globe. (Also seen in the sky as energy orbs) Upvote worthy and follow
Thank you @rasowi3113.
