After my observing run at Apache Point next week, I hope to take a couple of days off to see some of the sights of southern New Mexico. One of the 'attractions' of the region is Roswell, where an UFO was allegedly captured in 1947, 60 years ago to this coming Sunday, 8th July, while on the 14th a local farmer discovered 'UFO debris' in his ranch.

There is of course a UFO museum in Roswell, and although I won't be able to visit it on the exact anniversary this Sunday, I hope there will be enough UFO nuts swarming the place when I do visit.

I have almost resigned to the fact that I will be purchasing unnecessary amounts of UFO-related trinkets.
