You just got there at the wrong time. I drove through there on the way home
from WOS 2003. Got way behind schedule and drove most of New Mexico after
dark. Spent too much time parked along side the road in Winslow, Arizona
waiting to see if we could spot a "girl in a flatbed ford". Didn't arrive in
Roswell until about 1:30am. On the long, long, dark road there, I saw what I
thought were police car lights way off on a side road. My son informed me from
the dark back seat - - - "That's what THEY want you to think." Later, I
spotted a tall radio tower with rotating beacon off in the distance and I was
informed - - "That's what THEY want you to think." Just after midnight the
radio started making strange noises and I couldn't get a clear signal. Too far
from any stations. Yep, - - "That's what THEY want you to think." For a
distance, we shadowed a train carrying box cars loaded with new cars on their
way to dealers. Uh Huh - - - "That's what THEY want you to think."
The humor and laughter made the late-night drive fun and entertaining, and it
was interesting touring the small museum and gift shops in Roswel the next
morning.

Brenda & I drove thru the area 51 roads on a walk_about/drive tour before
the 2003 WOS!
AND we didn.t see anything out of the ordinary NADA, nothing, not even
a Jack-a-Lope.
