In June 1947, an Idaho pilot reported seeing a string of nine shiny unidentified flying objects flying past Mount Rainier at speeds of 1,200 miles an hour.

One week later, something crashed near Roswell, New Mexico (population 25,000). An experimental aircraft? A weather balloon? A secret military project?

Or something else?

Two days later and Roswell has visitors. It is noon, July 3, 1947.

Welcome to The Roswell Incident, where we discover what really happened in Roswell. Why did the US Army and FBI arrive in Roswell? What happened on the Turner ranch? What did crash outside Roswell?

The Roswell Incident is a sci-fi mystery larp for 10-14 players by Steve Hatherley based loosely on the Roswell balloon crash of 1947 and subsequent UFO conspiracy theories. The game is expected to last for approximately 2 hours. All characters are gender neutral.

A casting quiz will be sent on payment; please fill it out so you can be assigned a character. Casting will take place around the first weekend of November, in order for people to sort out costumes. Full character sheets will be sent a week out from the game.
