CALLING OCCUPANTS OF INTER-PLANETARY CRAFT

It's July 4th weekend and that can mean only one thing....no no not the Nathan's Hotdog Eating contest...




I'm talking about the Roswell UFO Festival!!!

Thirty thousand people from all over the world are expected to attend the festivities that include a who's who in UFO-logy.

There will be a Parade of Aliens, a dealers room, speakers, food, parties and even the crowning of a Miss Roswell UFO contest, oh yeah, and a fireworks show. Don't forget the concert by Jefferson Starship [you knew that was a given].

Alas I was making plans to attend but timing just did not work out again this year so for now, feel free to read a previous post on the Roswell Incident here:

Since we are discussing the 'news of the weird', check out these headlines from yesterdays Albuquerque Journal, our local newspaper:



A U.S. Airways flight from Charlotte, NC to Los Angeles had to make an emergency stop in Albuquerque when one Keith A Wright of Bronx, NY began to strip off his clothes. Gee, nothing exciting like this ever happens in coach.
