Roswell Anniversary

On July 7, 1947, rancher W.W. Brazel told the Corona, New Mexico, sheriff's office about a "flying disc" that had crashed on his property. The next day, July 8, the public information officer at the Roswell Army Air Field issued a news release stating the Army had recovered the "flying saucer." Army officials retracted the statement later that day. But the legend of "aliens" at Roswell was born. We drove through Roswell a few years ago and purchased some souvenirs.
