Museum Executive Director Karen Jaramillo said it was a surprise that Roswell residents brought them to 5 million because so many guests are from out of state.
The UFO Museum, which opened in 1992, draws over 220,000 visitors each year, Jaramillo said.

Speculation about extraterrestrials and government cover-ups has existed ever since, inspiring books, movies and TV shows.
