Roswell UFO Museum

Rather than trying to see the Roswell UFO Museum tomorrow or Saturday and fight the UFO Festival crowds, Jess and I went to the museum today.

It was an interesting museum. Author Donald R. Schmitt (Witness To Roswell) gave an overview talk about the Roswell incident, particularly on the government's cover-up (giving four different cover stories over the years). He also had a table where he autographed copies of his books. Unfortunately, one moron fanboy in an orange t-shirt kept people from being able to chat with Schmitt by hogging up Schmitt's time.

There was also a big figure of Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still.

I took a bunch of photos inside the museum. Here's some of them:
