Roswell, New Mexico in real life: What is the supposed alien mecca really like?
‘The Vampire Diaries’ creator Julie Plec has done it again, creating a science fiction young adult drama with her newest CW series ‘Roswell: New Mexico’. The reboot of the 1999 cult classic series of the same name is about to take over our small screens and it’s sure to be a hit. While popular culture depicts Roswell as the epicenter of alien activity in the US, many people simply consider it a tourist trap.
Why is it that everyone links Roswell to aliens, you ask? It all started in 1947 right after the end of World War II when a rancher discovered unidentifiable debris thought to be the remains of an extraterrestrial flying saucer. Since then, theories, legends and conspiracies have surrounded the small town in New Mexico, making it a center for alien activity. However, the truth is, there are far more interesting incidents that have taken place all over the world that point towards more alien activity than Roswell ever had. So why does Hollywood have this obsession with this small town? What is it really like?
