Things to Do

Photos of the Roswell, New Mexico, UFO festival.

BUG-EYED aliens, martians and assorted extraterrestrials were sighted in Roswell, N.M. this weekend. No, it wasn't a space invasion, just the Roswell UFO Festival. These aliens were spotted at the International UFO Museum and Research Center.

EVEN ROSWELL'S Main Street wasn't safe from the influx of little green men.
