For the first time in history, ordinary people will be permitted to view the supposed 1947 crash site of an extraterrestrial aircraft.
As part of the yearly anniversary of this historical event, the present owners of the property where the alien ship landed have announced that they would give for the first time an exclusive journey to the crash site.

In the summer of 2018, "The Roswell event" will have been around for 71 years. It is reported as an alleged UFO crash in the New Mexico desert, approximately 105 kilometers from Roswell. William Brazel, the owner of the property, discovered dispersed bits on the Foster ranch in July 1947 and promptly notified the local sheriff. The same information was relayed to the RAF base in Roswell (RAAF), whose experts studied the debris and stated in a press release that the pieces of a broken "flying saucer" remained after the impact. The assertion was then retracted and revised, and it was now stated that the object was a meteorological probe. This peculiar action of the United States Air Force, on the one hand, and the numerous witnesses who claimed to have seen the downed alien ship, portions of it, or even the corpses of crew members, on the other hand, sparked ongoing debates.

This iconic incident will be commemorated at the Roswell UFO Festival, which has been held annually for decades, from July 6 to July 9 this year. In the last year, 38 thousand visitors from 43 US states and 16 nations across the world visited. Now, the proprietors of the ranch, which formerly belonged to William Brazel, have declared that an expedition to the site of the UFO crash will be held only during the festival weekend. This idea merits special consideration since, despite the large number of people attending the Roswell Festival every July in July, the region around the ranch has always remained restricted and entry has been tightly forbidden.

At the accident site, those who participate in the trip will be provided traditional Mexican cuisine and a variety of "interaction experiences." But, the opportunity of checking the property where William Brazel formerly resided and where UFO components were purportedly stored for a brief period in 1947 is likely to be the most appealing to UFO researchers. The members of the group will also be equipped with metal detectors so that they may try their luck at discovering a piece of a UFO wreck that may have been buried in the sand for the past seven decades.
