Roswell, NM
Roswell's best-known UFO museum centers on the 1947 Roswell Incident and the decades of documents, witness accounts, photographs and popular culture that followed it. The museum treats the city's defining UFO story as the main attraction rather than a side exhibit.

Kecksburg, PA
Something came down in the woods here on the evening of 9 December 1965, seen across several states. Astronomers called it a meteor; witnesses described an acorn-shaped object and a military convoy. The village settled the matter its own way: the large acorn outside the volunteer fire department is a prop built for an Unsolved Mysteries episode in 1990, and it has stood there ever since.

Kelly, KY
In August 1955, residents of a farmhouse near Kelly reported a nighttime encounter with small strange beings after seeing a bright object in the sky. The Kelly-Hopkinsville incident became one of America's best-known UFO-era creature encounters, and the community still commemorates it through Little Green Men imagery and events; visitors should stay on public roads and avoid attempting to locate the original private farmhouse.

This otherwise ordinary roadside convenience store has embraced the Betty and Barney Hill story with an alien mural, newspaper clippings, photographs and UFO-related material. The result feels like a tiny roadside museum hidden inside a gas station. It is a separate stop from the nearby state historical marker.

Pine Bush, NY

Erie, PA
On July 31, 1966, witnesses stranded at Beach 6 reported a luminous metallic object descending near the beach, an incident later investigated as Project Blue Book case 10798. Beach 6 is still an ordinary public beach at Presque Isle State Park—there is no UFO monument—so the physical stop is the location associated with the documented Erie UFO story.
