Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
In the early 1980s, Stanton Friedman came across a story discussing the incident near Roswell. His intrigue with this story led him to begin his own investigation, including conversations with area residents and former officers and enlisted men who were at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947. HIs work inspired many to explore the question and public curiosity led to the creation of tourist attractions throughout Roswell. This museum offers something for tourists but also operates as a non-profit foundation.
