Google is commemorating the 66th anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident the only way it knows how: With a “doodle” on its homepage.
On Google.com, the search company replaced its logo with a black-and-white alien in a flying saucer. Clicking on the image turns the logo into a short game in the style of an 1990s PC adventure title. Players must help the alien recover the parts of his UFO after he crashes it in Roswell, New Mexico, using point-and-click controls.
The three parts of the ship are hidden behind puzzles that require players to use their inventory items in clever ways to bypass the obstacles. Once you reassemble the ship, the alien can take off and continue his probing or abduction business.
The doodle then loads a Google search for “Roswell UFO incident,” which refers to an event in 1947 when residents said they saw a strange object fall from the sky. The military claimed it was simply a balloon that it was using for surveillance that crashed, but conspiracy theorists believe that it was actually a UFO of alien origin.
