Cartoon Air Force Ones

You could say I'm in the "scene UFO" read after my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Madugle to us kids on a daily basis from Truman Bethurum's "aboard a flying saucer," a cult classic of the "contact person" literature 1950 . He left one of those indelible impressions spinning in my head.

Well, here I was, years later, riding my motorcycle from LA to Roswell, New Mexico, a vortex of interest for UFO buffs, the place where in early July 1947 an alleged flying saucercollapsed and its people again, as the story continues. Of mythic proportions, the enigma of Roswell is still a fertile issue for half a century later by the official obfuscation, as in the Act "Cover-Up" and freedom of information, the researchers found incriminating documents.

One could say that Roswell is the Plymouth Rock for UFO researchers although most of us do not Saucerheads UFO nuts. We're writing your average motorcycle driving, freelance articles, advancedGraduate keep travelers who prefer to spend time soaking in paranormal mysteries that the gift shops at Disneyland. We must explore our Tomorrowland, where the stakes are cosmic and oftimes comic. But the nature of the universe, a balance of wild and extravagant, the weak and the strong forces that glue all the quanta together.

When I zip my jacket with horse power armor and pulled my helmet, I was actually more concerned that the forces holding togetherrely on my bike for 20 years, German would. First gear was popping out and puffs of gray smoke ring from the left cylinder exhaust meant work, but the good old BMW R100 / 7 had gone150, 000 miles, then to conceal more than a few thousand light years in front of adventures around the next bend.

At this point, let's just chalk the gap between Los Angeles and my intermediate stop in Santa Fe as a lack of experience, a lot of boring freeway pavementwhile you melt the mindset for the project at hand. Since I had only a short time frame for this adventure, I took the road semi-live from Los Angeles first in Santa Fe, about 860 miles from Los Angeles, then to Roswell, about 200 miles south. If you want to go to Santa Fe and this just completely ignore the 970 miles from Los Angeles, just to get to 10-10 and go East for 674.90 miles, connect to the US-70E, the US-285 S. On the left, NM-2, another left on NM-2 andThey are there. Of course, you might want to stop and smell the cactus now and then.

Without mechanical breakdowns or traffic ticket, I arrived and my trusty Beemer in Santa Fe known as the "city of the holy faith." Founded in 1607 and has 200 art galleries and five museums the town is a tree lined sand and cactus pinion Nexus co constructed by three cultures: Native Americans who first came to the Spanish, the later and finally got the Anglo-Saxons, who eventually in place.My first impression was that Santa Fe was designed by Barney Rubble thanks to the ground hugging houses with their rounded asymmetrical flight shaped by hand. Everything is made in the colors of the desert surrounding ... Breccia browns, gecko grays, tumbleweed tans ... an entire city off for eco-friendly, zero-scape invisibility. What holds on the map are supernovae intense color with a peak in the adobe cloaking device. They can be seen in the historic Plaza, in particular the Items purchased under the portico of the Palace of the Governors where the local Indians gather to sell their silver jewelry bright and shiny rainbow tapestries and clothing located. In addition, large strands of dried red peppers hang like mummified kelp forests everywhere. Santa Fe shamanistic talismans weave a spicy spell since everything you eat in order, seems to come with chili sauce.

I heard a rumble and it was not from any secret underground U.S.> Air Force / Alien installation although one said education is concerned,. I was hungry and something brought me to the massive hand-carved wooden doors of the Inn of the Anasazi (113 Washington Ave., 505-988-3030). The Inn has 59 rooms equipped with gas lamps, fireplaces, canopy beds, works of Indian art, even organic toiletries created locally with native cedar extract. Artists, historians and archaeologists host fireside chats in the lounge of the Inn. Call it a microcosm of theTop Sante Fe has to offer on a roof and constructed under latillas Vigas. The inn was on the Native Americans who built a flourishing culture on the cliffs near Chaco Canyon then suddenly, marking 600 years ago was appointed disappeared. Yes, petroglyphs and rock paintings in the show strange creatures with helmet-hat. UFOnauts Alien or cyclists? Science has no answers, but the restaurant was excellent ... their specialty lamb preparedChef Randall Warder and complemented by a stellar wine list.

To burn a few calories I had for a trip that I learned from the plethora of brochures found at the hotel. (Brochures and checking out the local phone book Yellow Pages is often my first reconnaissance maneuver when entering uncharted territory.) N. visits to UFO landing sites, but I found something called "Aspook on ghosts" close enough, as some researchers see a link between essential andinter-dimensional chains and UFOs. Why, after a big dinner I needed a walk.

For a few dollars a tour operator has promised "an immersive experience in Sante Fe ... misty past life (and death) among the coyotes, witches, ghosts, and this is not entirely dead." Led by Santa Fe ghost guide Peter Sinclaire (505-988-2774), met me and my partner tries to scare the sumptuous Hotel Eldorado, on the corner of San Francisco and Sandoval for two hours bipedal exploration of Santa Feinfested sites. It 's a great way to Sante Fe, a sort of Ghost Busters Meets the Travel Channel to see.

Santa Fe is also buried in the bones of the past, and so I look But I fossil and mineral stores for UFO related items. You never know when a piece of the Roswell crash is shown, right? No saucer debris, but there were far too dinosaur eggshells to Charlie with rocks Will Travel Snell away shop at 1110 Calle La Resolana.

Before I had all myMoney on eggs I could not eat, I threw my backpack on my bike and showed the headlights on Roswell about 175 miles south of Santa Fe. State Route 285 is a perfect place to get abducted. E 'virtually devoid of traffic with nothing but brush and wide-open nothingness for hundreds of miles in all directions. Better to go at night when you have a close encounter of the fourth type, but want to better the light of day, unless you prefer the pronghorn antelope you see runningeverywhere. Antelope and motorcycles do not mix well.

I nailed the gas and blew down 285, and lo 'and behold, I soon found myself in the city limits of Roswell. E 'come in the form of a giant trampoline painted with the face of an alien gray ... big head, bigger eyes ... plastered on the front of a godawful big Wal-Mart. In my head, something whispered that UFOs have been marketed. It was not a big secret that Roswell was on the international mapbecause the 1947 incident and the next town, as to embrace the whole idea. If there is a place called "UFOville", then it is worth Roswell. Wal-Mart, Arby's sandwich drive to the International UFO Museum and Research Institute, Roswell was 100% Flying Saucer Central. I loved the place at first glance.

I checked the "cost" Crane Motel, one of those bring-your-ice-bucket "variety d '. You can not miss him. It is a strangeAssortment of old junk cars with flat tires growing roots in the ground, an old trick to convince people of it, the place has guests. Or maybe not guests on the left. One Plymouth had a faded "sticker" Vote for Nixon on them. In any case, I have most of the next two days living in Roswell's International UFO Museum. It could easily take a month if you are on the subject. The offer includes the Roswell crash or crashes since other witnesses have come forward with another crash site about 58Miles from Roswell. You can see the video of the late Jim Ragsdale a few days before his death did. Tell us about the details of his encounter with a disk that had crashed on his pickup truck careened in which he and his girlfriend were "naked" right now. You may obtain a copy of the tape or the book. Judge for yourself, but pretty damn convincing.

Dozens of other UFO books and videos available to you in action some of the more than 1,000 items in the museum gift shop, a dayExploration in itself. I bought an Alien New Mexico driver's license that I think I have most of the bars in town to get there. I also bought a commemorative Roswell rug and the inscription in the museum. I spoke with the charming wife Phyllis Blackard, one of the volunteers Museum (free admission), as a young girl was present in Roswell when it happened from the sky. "I was here when the military swarmed in, and I know that the undertaker Glenn Dennis who has seen the small foreign body.May his word to the bank. "
