New Mexico UFO Rose Bowl Float is a Winner

The 2008 Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, California on New Year's Day featured an assortment of floats made of flowers and vegetation.
But what was that UFO? I mean, the unidentified floating object...well, none other than the winner of the coveted Grand Marshal’s Trophy in the 119th Tournament of Roses® Parade, awarded “for excellence in creative concept and design”.
It's the first time New Mexico (where I reside) has won an award - hey, we've only entered a float twice.
The Roswell UFO account is well documented and discussed. I'm not sure playing off that with an "alien/UFO" themed float is the best way to get people to visit New Mexico (The Land of Enchantment), but KUDOS for the creativity.
