"Earthlings Welcome": A Photo Journey Through Roswell And Area 51

“Earthlings Welcome”: A Photo Journey Through Roswell And Area 51

by Roger Kisby

Part of a series about monsters and other scary things happening here through Halloween.

This spring, while traveling cross country, I spent a few days exploring the alien culture of Roswell, New Mexico, and Rachel, Nevada, aka Area 51. I visited museums, alien-themed restaurants, and truck stops, and then made a stop at the “black mailbox” on Nevada SR-375. I didn’t come across anything extraterrestrial but I did get couple great coffee mugs and some photos.
