ROSWELL, N.M. — An annual New Mexico event dedicated to UFOs isn’t changing plans despite concern around the new coronavirus.
KOB-TV reports the UFO Festival in Roswell remains scheduled for July 3-5 and organizers say they have no plans to move it.
Mainstreet Roswell board member Molly Boyles says organizers still have time and will only cancel or postpone if government agencies recommend it.

SETI@Home Is Over; The Fight Against COVID-19 Coronavirus Is Just Beginning
After more than 20 years of searching for extraterrestrial radio signals, the SETI@Home project is going into hibernation mode on March 31. But just as SETI@Home winds down, another distributed computing project is asking for help in the fight against the COVID-19 coronavirus.
For the last 20 years, volunteers have donated their computers' processing power to help astronomers search radio telescope data for signals from alien civilizations. SETI@Home tackled the kind of computational heavy lifting that usually requires a supercomputer, but the project did it with thousands of ordinary internet-connected desktop and laptop computers – and even some Android mobile devices.

Asteroid Ryuku Is Likely A Link in Planetary Formation - SpaceRef
The solar system formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Numerous fragments that bear witness to this early era orbit the Sun as asteroids. Around three-quarters of these are carbon-rich C-type asteroids, such as 162173 Ryugu, which was the target of the Japanese Hayabusa2 mission in 2018 and 2019.
These Auction Items Are Out of This World. No, Really. - The New York Times
After an immeasurable journey through time and space, a craggy gray rock fell to Earth, landing in the Sahara. No one saw it fall, and no one knows how long it lay in the sand before it was found three years ago by a nomad.
"It could have been 500 years ago, it could have been 5,000," said James Hyslop, head of the science and natural history department at Christie's, which plans to offer the rock for sale at its next online meteorite auction , tentatively scheduled for later this month.
