  • UFOs35.6630° N, 105.9986° W

    Santa Fe, NM

    Mapped as the Alien Museum, this shares an address with Rockin' Rollers Event Arena, a long-running roller rink known for its extensive alien-themed decor. There is no separate museum with its own hours — you see the extraterrestrial displays by turning up to a public skating session or an event.

    West Hammond, NM

    Not a statue or a business but a naturally eroded rock formation in the Bisti Rock Garden, among named hoodoos including the Elegant Hoodoo and the Valley of Bones. This is BLM-managed federal wilderness rather than Navajo Nation land. Open to hikers, but there are no marked routes, effectively no phone signal or water, and access roads can become impassable after rain or snow.

  • UFOs33.3950° N, 104.5222° W

    Roswell, NM

    A downtown alien-themed photo attraction fills staged rooms with saucers, extraterrestrials and deliberately campy Roswell scenery. It is a separate stop from the UFO museum and one of the city's strongest pieces of roadside alien kitsch.

    Corona, NM

    BLM identifies a lawful public-land hiking access point connected with an alleged 1947 UFO 'skip' or crash story near Corona. Vehicle approaches used historically cross private property, so OddWay should route only to the BLM access and never across ranch land.

  • UFOs33.3937° N, 104.5232° W

    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.

  • UFOs33.9503° N, 105.3139° W

    Capitan, NM

    These coordinates match the BLM's Alleged UFO Skip Site, where the agency has built a legal public route: park on Lincoln County Road B007 and walk roughly a mile across BLM land. The old approaches from north and south cross private property and may not be used. Remote, unshaded, and with no water.

  • UFOs34.0389° N, 106.8818° W

    Socorro, NM

    Police officer Lonnie Zamora reported seeing an egg-shaped craft and two figures outside Socorro in 1964, creating one of the most studied UFO cases in U.S. history. The original area is not a formal attraction, so this is a conservative roadside-history pin only.

    Roadside, no entry
  • UFOs36.8785° N, 107.8411° W

    Aztec, NM

    The claimed site of the alleged crash of 25 March 1948, marked by a plaque placed in 2007, sitting on the BLM-managed Alien Run trail system in Hart Canyon. Both the City of Aztec and the BLM point hikers and mountain bikers here. No admission fee, but it is a remote dirt-road and trail destination with no drinking water.
