On this day, June 13 1997, Roswell NM adapted their current flag.

June 13 seems like a slow day in the history of vexillology, but at least there's this flag.

And yes, it's a UFO in the top left corner.

I'd definitely wear this on a T-shirt, but is it a bit too intricate for a flag?

Yeah, a bit too much. I think it looks quite nice overall, but they should probably cut away a bottom stripe or two. And the non-triangular and non-centered mountain is border-line criminal. But it's not super evident and you would probably not notice that when waving.

I agree on the bottoms stripes. The colors are a bit much for me but to each their own

That's a cool adaptation of the NM flag.
