Alien Theme Park Coming to Roswell – Area 52
Welcome back!

“Nobody will be harmed and everybody will be returned, hopefully, in the same shape.” concept designer Bryan Temmer said Friday.
The park, dubbed Alien Apex Resort, could open as early as 2010. The city has received a $245,000 legislative appropriation for initial planning, but the park would be privately built and managed. Requests for proposals will be advertised next month. City Planner Zach Montgomery said the project will cost “several hundred millions of dollars.” As reported by Las Cruces Sun-News — Associated Press.
The proposed park will initially cover 60 to 80 acres with room to expand to 150. It will feature other rides and attractions, including an exhibit hall with information on scientific exploration of the universe. Photo by Nicola
“Definitely, there will be a part of the park devoted to space exploration.” Temmer said. “It’s not just about the Roswell Incident and did it happen?”
The Roswell Incident has brought the New Mexico city worldwide acclaim. It centers on a purported UFO crash on a nearby ranch in July 1947, which the military later claimed was a top-secret weather balloon.
Temmer pitched the concept to city leaders two years ago. “I knew there was only one place on the planet, probably in the universe, where this idea would work.” he said.
Montgomery said the city is considering six potential sites but declined to identify them, other than to say each is within city limits or could be annexed. He also wouldn’t name potential operators.
The theme park would take that concept to another level, one that some business owners believe is necessary to keep tourists returning.

“We would welcome something like an alien roller coaster or a theme park, absolutely.” she said. “How can it hurt us?”
The town’s biggest tourism attraction is the International UFO Museum and Research Center, which has drawn 2.5 million visitors since opening in 1992. Beyond that, it’s largely boutiques like the one run by Welz. Photo by Liquidysquids
“We’re still in the infancy of our UFO-related economic development.” Montgomery said. “Eventually, when people come to Roswell they’re not going to have enough time to do everything they want to do. That’s our goal.”
Alien Autopsy from Roswell Crash July 1947
Real or Fake? You decide.
Roswell New Mexico 1947 — something crashed or was shot down — causing more controversy as to what really happened than most other UFO events in current history. We do know that something happened — that the government came in and removed a craft and perhaps some bodies.
The Second UFO Found Near Roswell
Two UFOS collided at Roswell New Mexico USA. The second ship landed much further away with living Aliens. The initial U.S. report was that a flying disc was recovered at Roswell, but the U.S. Air Force has changed its story three times. People that change their story three times can mean only one thing…
Grt Video…
I believe they’re out there, but I think if they’re smart/advanced enough to visit earth, they’re too smart to have crash landed and been captured and filmed by the U.S government. Even the Qur’an says;(42:29). And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.
