Two men disappeared after a serious car crash in Roswell in New Mexico, at the site of the famous Roswell UFO Incident. They reappeared seven hours later in a field of donkeys.

According to the Daily Mail, the unidenitified men had admitted to drinking and had gone into the town identified with aliens and UFOs. The emergency responders arrived at the scene of the crash, but did not find the occupants of the car. Seven hours later, the driver called 911 and then said that he had no memory of the night.

Lt. Emanuel Gutierriez of New Mexico State Police confirmed the incident. He told Plains Online News that the driver had said that he and his passenger were drinking and didn't remember what else happened. The driver also said that he had woken up in a field of donkeys.

The famous Roswell Incident took place on July 8, 1947, when the local newspaper had reported that remains of a "flying saucer" had been captured by government officials. Conspiracy theorists believe that the debris came from an alien spacecraft and that the military was covering it up, reported a website dedicated to the incident.

Rancher W.W. Brazel had said that he and the son of Floyd and Loretta Poctor, while riding on their horse the night before, had found unusual pieces of metal debris. He said that on further inspection, he had seen a trench, which was a few hundred feet in length. He took a few pieces of the debris and showed it to the Proctors.

The Proctors told him that he might be holding wreckage from an alien spacecraft as a lot of UFO sightings had been reported then. Brazel went on to report the incident to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcos, who went on to report it to Major Jesse Marcel.

An investigation was launched in 1995 by the Air Force due to suspicions of alien activity. The Air Force claimed that the "UFO" was a part of a balloon that was launched as a unit of a secret government surveillance programme. A lot of people refused to believe the explanation, saying that the explanation was a conspiracy -- an attempt to hide the existence of alien life.
