ROSWELL, NM (KOB/AP) — Police in Roswell, New Mexico are searching for a UFO…and the men that stole it.

The fiberglass spaceship was stolen from the UFO Museum in downtown Roswell, the New Mexico town that still stirs debate about extraterrestrials seven decades after the 1947 crash of a flying object.

Some on social media suggested in jest that “men in black” or “aliens” were to blame. But police say surveillance video recorded several men loading the model flying saucer into the back of a pickup truck behind the museum and driving away.

The spaceship is a fixture in downtown Roswell, where it was long mounted outside the UFO museum before a recent snowstorm damaged it. Police say the suspects stole it from behind the museum, where it was being stored.

The spaceship is usually mounted to the outside of the UFO Museum, but was taken down for repair after it was damaged in a recent snowstorm.What others are clicking on:
