On July 8, 1947, a surreal headline appeared on the front page of The Roswell Daily Record newspaper. It said the military had captured a “flying saucer” on a ranch outside of town — not far from the scene pictured here. The next day, though, the Army corrected its news release. It was a weather balloon that crashed, not a flying disc. No longer would the sleepy little town of Roswell be known simply as the dairy capital of the Southwest. Since the early ’90s a steady stream of tourists have passed through #Roswell in search of the truth and souvenirs. The photographer @howdyluke made the trip himself recently to watch as the town commemorated the 70th anniversary of the crash at the annual UFO festival on Main Street. Downtown Roswell is now home to half a dozen alien-themed souvenir shops. “The longer one is in Roswell,” @howdyluke writes, “the harder it becomes to avoid trying to answer the question, Did an alien spacecraft really crash to earth 70 years ago? Are we all alone in the universe? Does any of this even matter?” Visit the link in our profile to see photos of the festivities in #nytopinion.
