The centerpiece of alien attractions in Roswell was the International UFO Museum and Research Center, housed within a former theatre.

This metal sculpture in front of the UFO Museum combined  aliens with cowboys.

A neon alien invited me in, but I declined.

Aliens took the Pepsi Challenge... and picked Coca-Cola instead!

What would a tourist attraction be without stores? Several had interesting but dated window displays.

I missed an out-of-this-world meal since the Crash Down Diner was closed for the day.

As a fan of 1970's funk music, I expected to see George Clinton stepping out in platform boots at Starchild. Alas, it was just another alien gift shop.

Aliened out yet? There will be more later. For now, check out the city's unique manhole covers.
