Unusual … that’s what I like.

I really enjoy seeing odd and strange things. Sometimes they make you think, sometimes they are just funny.

My daughter and her family recently visited some interesting and unusual sites in New Mexico. She sent me a couple of photos that were pretty unusual.

There were these huge hands out in the middle of nowhere. Giant statue things reaching for the sky. I don’t know what they were made of – maybe concrete?

Then there was this unusual scene of aliens in a cave. It’s fun to look at.

You can click the photos to enlarge.

Thank you for visiting! Comments welcome! Happy reading!

UFO MUSEUM, ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO

We visited the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, a few years ago. It was during the annual 4th of July UFO Festival. The city is geared up for a good time. There are street vendors, concerts, and some people even wear funny costumes.

The museum is a cool place to wander around in. There are displays of actual newspapers from 1947, telling of the UFO crash, investigation, and possible cover-up by the government. You can see set up displays, depicting what happened. There is art, and photo opportunities everywhere in the building. You can even pose in the many scenes, with the aliens, which in this case, are rubber dummys. It’s all in fun, and the kitschy displays are funny. There is a gift shop, also, where you can buy all things alien related.

They also had invited several authors to the museum for book signings and sales. At another venue, there were many more authors set up, signing their books, and visiting with the people who came by. There were several scheduled speakers in the auditorium.

We didn’t stay for the night-time festivities, but there are bands playing music, street dances, and I’m sure everyone had fun. So, whether you believe in UFOs, aliens, or not, Roswell and the UFO museum and festival, is a wonderful place to spend some time, if you get the chance.
