Corona is the closest populated community to a purported UFO crash in 1947, approximately 30 miles (48 km) to the southeast. The rancher who found the crash first came to Corona to report it to a few residents, before going to Roswell to tell officials there.

In 2004, Corona was the site of a 4,000 acres (16 km2) forest fire, begun when an unknown arsonist lit a pile of pine needles.
