The International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico alone was worth the trip.

Before the UFO Festival began on Friday with all the accompanying crowds, we decided to tour the museum. It turned out to be a wise decision as the museum was generally packed during the festival.

Here are some more photos from the UFO Museum:
