While New Mexico has gained worldwide notoriety for the UFO sightings in Roswell, the lesser-known incidents at Aztec have flown under the radar! Join us in the Pioneer Village as we step back in time to postwar America's UFO craze and delve into UFO encounters right here in Aztec and San Juan County.
What is fact? What is fiction? What do you think?
