Roswell
The self-declared UFO Capital of the World, going about its ordinary day on a live webcam.
About this view
In July 1947 a rancher named W.W. Brazel found scattered debris on his land near Corona, about 75 miles northwest of here. The Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release announcing the recovery of a flying disc, retracted it inside 24 hours, and called it a weather balloon instead. The town has never let it go.
Roswell now brands itself the UFO Capital of the World, and the International UFO Museum, founded in 1991 by the officer who wrote that original press release, Walter Haut, with local mortician Glenn Dennis, anchors a main street of alien-themed everything, streetlamps included.
This live stream mostly shows an ordinary New Mexico town at 3,600 feet, which is its own quiet joke. Mountain time, UTC−7. Early July is the week to watch, when the UFO Festival fills the streets.
