ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) - UFO aficionados could have a camping experience
that's out of this world this summer when they sleep at the site where
some believe an alien spacecraft crashed 50 years ago.

The camping will be part of a weeklong celebration commemorating the
50th anniversary of the alleged sighting. Previous tours of the property
have been limited to 30 minutes during the day.

``Ever since we first began letting people visit the site we've been
asked if we'd allow them to camp overnight,'' said Roswell rancher Hub
Corn.

Tickets for one night during the July 1-6 anniversary week cost $90, and
are limited to 2,000 people, organizers said in a news release.

Organizers also plan to install a memorial stone sculpture garden
featuring 20-foot-tall obelisks and a plaque dedicating the ``sacred
site'' to ``the beings who met their destinies near Roswell, New Mexico,
July 1947.''

A rancher near Roswell found debris on July 8, 1947, and an Air Force
officer was reported to have discovered a flying disc, fueling UFO
buffs' theories. A 1994 Air Force investigation found that the debris
probably came from a once top-secret balloon designed to monitor the
atmosphere for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests.
