The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History has the largest collection of nuclear weapons on public display in the world
First up Ozzy and Jack take a tour of The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here they see nuclear weapons up close and personal and exact replicas of little boy and fat man, the nuclear weapons that were detonated in Japan in 1945.
The atomic bombs saved lives
Albeit controversial, many WWII historians argue that dropping the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved more lives long term. Although the bombings claimed an estimated 129,000 - 246,000 lives, it is also estimated that if America had invaded the Japanese Islands it would have cost at least 1 million US military lives and 2 million Japanese lives.
The Petroglyph National Monument - aliens?
Next up is a hike to the Petroglyph National Monument where Ozzy and Jack explore the rock carving images left by Native Americans and early Spanish settlers. There are approximately 24,000 carvings, ranging from as far back as 2,000 BC to the 1700s and some have been described as resembling aliens and spaceships. While Jack is convinced this is evidence of extraterrestrial life, Ozzy has other ideas.
Over 400 people reported seeing a UFO at Roswell
It's then time to explore Roswell, town of the infamous 1947 Roswell UFO Incident. In mid 1947 (the exact date is still unknown) a strange foil-like instrument fell from the sky into a remote farm in Roswell. Over 400 people at the time reported that it was a UFO, many claiming they believed it was a crashed alien spaceship.
The Roswell UFO Incident remains a mystery
Father and son try to get to the bottom of what really happened at the infamous Roswell UFO Incident. However they don't get a clear answer, as official press releases and even conspiracy theories have changed so many times over the years. Was it simply a military balloon that crashed, a crashed sky diver or a huge UFO spaceship crash cover up? UFO expert Frank Kimbler remarks that even President Bill Clinton wasn't able to find out what truly happened at Roswell.
