As a young child, Becky Hesseltine would feel “eyes in the room” or a presence she didn’t understand. Sometimes, she’d be spooked; it wasn’t until she said yes to understanding the phenomenon, and not being afraid of it, that her psychic and mediumship abilities flourished.
Short of going to Roswell’s annual UFO Festival in the summer, the only way to fully experience Roswell, New Mexico, in my humble opinion, is to go all out far, far out.

Summit High School Alpine ski assistant coaches John McMurtry and Dylan Nicoletti heard the chatter among the 70-plus high school boys skiers, who were getting ready to race on a menacing 62-gate slalom course Thursday at Loveland Valley Ski Area.
It was a course McMurtry, a former U.S. Alpine Ski Team coach, said was “like a World Cup” with “really hard turns” where “you don’t feel good going down.”
“It seemed like the attitude up top was, ‘We’re cranking it out,’” Nicoletti said. “You’re not going to like it. It’s not going to feel good. But if you can crank it out back and forth, you have to be ready to fight all the way down.”
