Home of alien abduction, plans 60th UFO fest The Associated Press ROSWELL, N.M. — Is “The Truth” located in this remote city in New Mexico? Driving alone down a stretch of desolate highway en route to Roswell, I begin to understand why conspiracy buffs have long argued that aliens crash-landed in the desert here a half-century ago. Darkness engulfs desert fields. A misshapen yellow moon hangs in the sky. Husks of abandoned buildings litter the roadside. Has an alien invasion already taken place? I notice a blinking light in the sky — but quickly discern it’s an airplane. Being out here by yourself is enough to make you think twice. “I do know this. There are other things out there in the universe,” said John Turner, 78, who was working the desk of the International UFO Museum and Research Center on Roswell’s North Main Street when I visited. I have secretly wanted to visit Roswell since I was a boy. What I got during my brief visit — something I’ve contemplated doing for years — was a lesson in how a small city in the middle of the American southwest became enshrined in American pop culture.
