The alleged UFO Skip Site is the place where some people believe an unidentified flying object containing aliens crashed near Corona, N.M., in July 1947.

The BLM has constructed a parking lot at the start of a future trail to the site. There will be a walk-through gate at the trailhead and the trail will be about a mile long. The BLM only allows hiking to the site and no vehicles are allowed. The BLM also intends to install signage.
To visit the alleged UFO skip site, park at the Bureau of Land Management’s parking lot off Lincoln County Road B007, or Transwestern Road. The parking lot is about 78 miles from the BLM Roswell Field Office at 2909 W. 2nd St., Roswell. From the parking lot, hike about a mile to the east on BLM land. There is no signage to mark the site, but BLM personnel plan to install signs this fiscal year. There are no plans to make a road to the site, and visitors will have to hike. There is a road to the site, but private land blocks both the northern and southern entrances.
