The Little Alien Town—Rachel, NV

What would you expect to find in the remote desert of Nevada? Perhaps sand, stones, and shrubs—with a little green man peeking out from between them.

That’s what might await you in the tiny town of Rachel, one of the country’s UFO capitals.

Just for the record, I know the modern designation for possible flying saucers is “unidentified anomalous phenomena” or UAP. UFO just rolls off the tongue better, so I’m sticking to the old-fashioned name. But I digress.

Rachel, NV, is located some 100 miles north of Las Vegas. The town sits on the famous Extraterrestrial Highway (SR 375), which feeds Rachel’s reputation as a UFO hotspot—and vice versa.
