ALIENS and my 11th Birthday!
We are at Roswell, New Mexico for a 2 days. You probably already know about Roswell, but the whole theme is aliens from an incident that occurred in 1947. It was just a normal day when a rancher near Roswell reported seeing metal tin foil-like debris. He started showing people the evidence but the US military initially admitted to the idea of aliens but within a view hours changed their stance and denied all claims. There is also evidence to support that they tried to silence anybody who knew the truth. They said that it was merely a weather balloon from their top secret project. The project has something to do with sending up a balloon to retrieve a signal from a nuclear bomb but in testing it, it completely failed and they scraped the whole idea. The whole idea that the government is hiding something is a theory that does seem to have a lot of evidence behind it and may as well be the answer. Me personally, I think they are hiding something but I don’t think they have underground labs with aliens in them, I think it was a weapon that they tested and failed and then fell back down to earth. Because of all the publicity, they had to make up lies because they didn’t want there secrets leaked to other governments around the globe. Now you know The Roswell incident and we went to a museum the first day we were there that had a lot of history and sightings and even a simulation where you got to feel what it was like falling back to earth if you were in the space ship.
After the museum we went to brick land which was a really cool spot that you guessed it, had a lot of legos! Their mega project was a massive alien spaceship that had one 44,000 different bricks! Also in the same building they had a cool VR simulation where we could look around and actually be a part of the Roswell incident as it happened (or the way they think it happened). Also in brick land, we got to make pixel art with little small bricks and put it on a board with everybody else’s. But the best part about it was definitely the Lego trains. They had a bunch that were weaving through a city. We had lunch at a McDonalds that instead of the normal looking building, it is shaped like a UFO. Inside was a regular McDonalds but it was a cool theme for sure. We stopped at a Dairy Queen and got and ice cream cake for my birthday. I decided to get an Oreo one and it was delicious. I’d give it a 9.2/10. I enjoyed having my birthday in Roswell but I don’t know if I’m a believer, just yet.
Next stop White sands NP!
