That, I believe, fits in Occam's Razor quite nicely.
You are correct. It's actually a vast desert area West and Northwest of Roswell. That's where our first rocket studies took place and where the first A-bomb was tested. It was better than Nevada because there were some large towns within a day's drive away, such as El Paso and Albuquerque, and some air force bases already in the area. Things have been flying off-course from the White Sands Missile Range for many decades.

Added: Plus we had a bunch of ex-Nazi rocket scientists working in the desert near Roswell in the late '40s, and the feds didn't want that information to get around much either.
