ROSWELL, N.M. (June 1, 2010)—The City Council in Roswell, N.M., may end funding for the community’s annual UFO Festival, which celebrates the supposed crash of a flying saucer near the town in the late 1940s.
The festival includes a parade, complete with marchers dressed as space aliens, but the City Council has approved a preliminary budget for next year, which doesn’t include any money for it.
One council member said it’s outrageous to spend $150,000 in taxpayer money on the event.
This summer’s festival is already funded and will go ahead as planned.
