Looking for 'little green men'


Can you spot the alien?
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Roswell, New Mexico, is full of aliens..flying saucers hover .and there are alien trinkets, alien burgers at the local burger king, alien bar drinks and an alien research center.  We were on our way West in early 2010 to jobs in Yosemite NP when I figured a stop in Roswell (for 'historical' purposes) would be good.  The neat green t-shirt in the visitor center with a big alien character on it would be a 7 year old collectors item now if Lydia hadn't hustled me away from all the neat designs.
     The back story.  In July, 1947,  an object resembling a disc crashed outside Roswell.  The Air Force said it was a weather balloon.  Locals said it was a flying saucer.  And the legend of green men - -true or not - - started.
