ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) – An out of this world event begins Thursday in Roswell as the city welcomes flying saucer skeptics and enthusiasts to its annual UFO festival.

The Roswell UFO Festival runs Thursday through Sunday. It features guest speakers, authors, live entertainment, a parade and other family-friendly activities.

It marks the annual celebration of the Roswell Incident.

In early July 1947, a mysterious object crashed on a ranch 30 miles north of Roswell.

The Roswell Army Air Field issued a statement claiming to have recovered a crashed “flying disk.”

Later, military officials changed the statement to say that the object was a weather balloon, not a flying disk as they previously reported.

The revised statement sparked immediate controversy and has been debated for more than 60 years.
