Google Doodle Marks 66th Anniversary of Roswell UFO Incident

Google has unveiled an interactive Doodle to mark the 66th anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident.

The Doodle is a brief point-and-click adventure game in which users must help an alien, whose UFO crash-landed on earth, return home. Upon completion, Google provides users with the search results for "Roswell UFO incident."

In early July 1947, witnesses reported seeing flying saucers and unidentified material on the ground in Roswell, N.M. Conspiracy theories about aliens visiting earth became widespread following a July 8 news report in The Roswell Daily Record. Headlined "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region," the article said the Roswell Army Air Field's intelligence office recovered a "flying saucer" after a local rancher found it on his property.
