thinkingoutsidetherhombus (OP) User ID: 2938296 United States 11/18/2011 08:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Surely you can give some details about how it is different from the TV show without giving away any personal names or anything like that... I meant the actual town doesn't look like the show set. It's a pretty standard medium-sized (for NM) town, but most of the downtown alien-themed stuff is very T-shirt shop type touristy and not very quaint. Not a bad town at all, just not like the TV show. I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |
thinkingoutsidetherhombus (OP) User ID: 2938296 United States 11/18/2011 08:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been to Roswell. It's an awesome little town in the middle of nowhere. I love the alien street lights. Been to the museum and the alien shop next door. There is a meteorite sprew field near by that I really wanted to visit, but no time. Looks like the perfect retirement place, clean, tidy with plenty to do and nice weather. Quoting: Timetraveler I agree! My parents don't live there any more but a lot of my husband's family is still there so we visit once or twice a year. The only real problem with the weather is the wind in the spring that kicks up the dust...otherwise it's a great place. I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |

Quoting: Love Muffin I am pretty sure that 2 saucers or ET craft crashed and 5 ET's wer recovered. They were what is known as Grays. They were not J-Rods as some would have you believe. One or two of them were alive and each lived for several years. Quoting: John Lear Lots of interesting info in Thread: I am the real John Lear...ask me a question (Page 131) |

Lol...my mom and dad both grew up in teeny tiny little towns in NM (populations 200 and 300 respectively) and received their religious and philosophical educations mainly in their Baptist churches. I remember visiting my grandparents when I was a kid and going to their church's Sunday school. I wanted to know why the Bible talks about drinking wine all the time but the church says alcohol is bad. They lied and told me that wine back then was the same as grape juice now. You can imagine what they had to say about things like aliens! I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |

There are a LOT of backpackers that go through Roswell. Be aware, though, it does get pretty cold there in the winter. They usually get a couple of good snowstorms a year and it freezes or frosts most nights. If you go tenting, be prepared! I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |
thinkingoutsidetherhombus (OP) User ID: 2938296 United States 11/20/2011 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been watching the Sunday morning commentary on how the supercommittee is destined for failure. Enough doom and gloom for a beautiful morning: conspiracy is a lot more fun! Since there was such a positive response to my original post, I thought I'd share a few more interesting things about Roswell and its history. Roswell is surrounded by 12 empty Altas F missle silos. As far as I know, they're all privately owned and the the ones I've visited have been on rural ranch land. Of course, when they were disarmed they sealed the entrances, but when I was a teenager we discovered that a couple of them had been opened (one had a hole blowtorched into the door just big enough for a slender person). Some of my friends and I snuck down into one of them one night and looked around with flashlights. Despite a whole lot of graffiti, it was a really cool look into the cold war. I've heard that people are buying them up and turning them into personal bunkers/homes. I love that idea! Speaking of personal bunkers, Roswell is chock full of them. The New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) is there and from what I've been told over the years, the school was a suspected cold war target. Many of the older homes in Roswell have small underground shelters in their backyards. I used to babysit for a family that had one of them and their kids would play "nuclear war" in it. There's two high schools in town, Roswell High and Goddard High (named after Robert Goddard, the rocket pioneer). Goddard's classrooms are entirely underground. That's right: no windows in the classrooms at all, just one giant fallout shelter. Believe it or not, I've never been out to the crash site. I've heard that there's no need: the rancher who owns it charges to go look at a pile of rocks. Maybe someday I'll take my kids out there just to see for myself. If anybody has questions, feel free to ask...I'll be happy to answer if I can! I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1515739 United States 11/20/2011 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have something to add to this story. My husband opened up a Chiropractic office in ABQ NM in 1987 and sometimes I helped at the front desk. One day I was reading the Roswell Incident at work. There was this mature older woman that was a patient who came in every week. She saw me reading the book and said she had been working in Roswell during the incident....some kind of office work. Then she related that a stretcher went by in the hall and she saw a grey dead alien which wasn't covered. Fell off my chair. I didn't sleep for weeks. This lady was not the kind of person to lie. I'm sure they never intended her to see it. |
