Roswell is a city in New Mexico, U.S.A., located some 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-east of Albuquerque. Although it is home to, amongst others, five museums, New Mexico's oldest established orchestra, the Roswell Symphony Orchestra and the world's largest mozzarella cheese production plant, it is most famous for what has gone down in lore as the Roswell UFO Incident in 1947.
The city's Chamber of Commerce makes full use of this notoriety and Roswell hosts what it calls "the Galaxy's Largest Annual UFO Festival" in July.
