Welcome to Roswell
Manage episode 425860933 series 1930888
The city of Roswell, New Mexico is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Out in the dessert west of Texas, this small oasis in the dessert was first home to indigenous peoples, then cowboys, ranching and farming and then the military before becoming the crash site of a possible UFO in 1947. That story took on a life of it's own and by the time the Army came out with an official explaination in 1997, the myths had stuck. Today, Roswell is still a farming and ranching community but 'the incident' as it's known bred a tourism economy based on aliens. From the flying saucer McDonalds, to the International UFO Museum and Research Center, and the annual UFO festival; Roswell is a unique space-y destination all its own.
We're joined by Dr. Emily Margolis, Curator of Contemporary Spaceflight
Thanks to our guests in this episode:
- Jan Dunnahoo- Roswell historian
- Juliana Halvorson- Roswell City Councilor
