ROSWELL, N.M., Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Several people in Roswell, N.M., have reported spotting an unidentified flying object over the northwest side of the city, a mecca for those interested in UFOs.
Andre Buonaiuto said he and his wife saw a flying saucer Monday night, KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reported Wednesday.
"We walked outside, my wife and I, we noticed a glow in the sky," Buonaiuto said.
He said despite the city's reputation for extraterrestrial activity, it was the first time he had experienced anything resembling a close encounter.
KOAT-TV said the alleged flying disc was reported by multiple viewers.
UFOs and extraterrestrials are a major tourist draw, with the city's annual UFO Festival drawing record numbers of convention-goers in recent years, said UFO novelty store owner Richard Hesse.
City officials are developing plans for a $25 million UFO museum in Roswell that would open in three years.
