In 1947 the US Air Force communicated to the world that a UFO had crash in a ranch near to Corona NM [60 miles from Roswell] and the devris brought to the Air Force Base in Roswell; when thr notice cought world wide attention, someone in the gobernment decided to cover up everything denying the first communication they issue. From 1948 trough around 1980 nobody in Roswell talk about the incident, so the people born and grew between those years knew nothing about the gamous crash. It was untill a writter researching on this topic came out with all the hidden information that the whole thing came out to light... Now the UFO and aliens are part of the local folklore attracting tourism to the area.
