ROSWELL, NM
You can see the city buzzing, getting ready for the upcoming festivites! Few, however. are as busy Reneé Roach the City of Roswell Marketing Director; and Keep Roswell Beautiful Coordinator. Amazingly she is still spry and always takes time out to make sure I have what I need to write these articles. Unfortunately there always is a "Grinch". In this case one of the more popular hamburger places would not let me publish a picture of their UFO design until I received direct authorization from their "marketing and legal" department (wait about 2 months) which would arrive too late for the article. I asked "what if" I were to just show it in an article, in a good light, and then wait to hear from them. Really, the public views this item everyday! They proceeded to tell me, in no uncertain terms, the legal action I would face, if I did so. Well, no more burgers from those clowns!
I went to the Convention Center and my first encounter was with Ethan; a small boy of about 3 years old, who was at the front of the center busily talking to two alien statues . He was loudly talking to these two statues, shaking his head up and down all while agreeing with them inaudibly! Almost makes one wish they had a little boy again! Seemed like a very serious conversation, but I still don't know what they talked about!
As I visited the center, I was overwhelmed with the amount of information there about Roswell, and New Mexico in general. The staff was really knowledgeable on everything from history, to places, to events to geography about anywhere in New Mexico. Everything from Roswell, to Carlsbad (where I am headed to next) to Albuquerque to Las Cruces and other cities non-UFO related.

I visited many of the vendors getting their booths ready. It had been a long day and while waiting for more vendors to get set up, I just happened to fall asleep in the "make your own alien hear gear" room. Bad mistake . . . .bad, bad, bad! The ladies there thought they would have some fun with me and I woke up without my MUFON cap and instead found I was wearing an headgear apparatus which, made from aluminum, was designed to keep my thoughts from being read by extraterrestrials. They told me they got the idea from the movie, "Signs". I'm lucky my hands were in front of me or I may have found my face covered with makeup too!

I wanted to attend the Miss Roswell UFO Festival pageant, but rumor has it that all but two of the contestants had been abducted. I can't substantiate this! What a shame! But think about it for a moment. If this be true and the aliens are indeed abducting the beauty pageants, we should be seeing some good looking hybrid children on the way!
The vendors! I can't wait till the vendors have everything in place! There is something for everyone! T-shirts, jewelry, hats, crystal, stones, purses, alien posters, alien stones, shoes, flip-flops and much much more!
A quick trip back for a shower and off to the preopening party and a GREAT dinner! We hate and drank until we couldn't any more . . .that isn't saying much believe me! Anyway, it has been a late night and I'm ready for the first day of festivities tomorrow!

sounds like that hamburger joint is guilty of a ufo cover up! Gotta get government permission first? hm... I'm sure if you go back next year, the joint will either have been closed, or the reluctant owner will deny there ever was a ufo display... lol
We of the Federation of star travelers also enjoy a good festival. We shall be there among you in Roswell. Our first visit to the area in 1947 caused quite a stir because one of our drone ships piloted by cybernetic organisms crashed. Even though you were able to recover our property before we could retrieve it, we learned that your kind did not inform the general populace. This is as we would want. We don't want your kind to be aware of our presence. What was recovered was not our likeness but some of our worker drones. This was a scout ship to assess the detonations that were recorded and the intense radiation from our instruments in the area. We no longer monitor this area exclusively, but like I said we do enjoy festivals of all kinds, especially peaceful ones. As you know from my messages that we are among your kind at the highest levels. I would like you all to know that all operations and speeches are also recorded by various governments around the world. Peace and kindness.
I've seen that "popular" hamburger spot! Ronald should hang his head in shame! The arches represent a frown! The whole building is a space ship and every one sees it everyday . . .so what is the big deal? You would think they would appreciate some international publicity! Next time in Roswell, it's Whattaburger for me!
Hey Kraken, maybe you'll let me interview you to see what levels of our government you have infiltrated? Ha! What other festivals are you planning on going to? MUFON is coming up will you be there? Email me and well talk . . . have your people contact my people! LOL!
