If you ever find yourself in Roswell, New Mexico, If you ever find yourself in Roswell, New Mexico, you pretty much have to visit the International UFO Museum. 🛸👽 One thing that surprised me was how vast the collection was at their UFO research library! They had so many books, tapes, and other documents detailing UFO sightings, abduction reports, and the like. If I ever have a UFO story idea, I'm definitely visiting again to research! 👽🛸 .
