- Aliens at last have their own landing strip in the Nevada Desert - courtesy of
- the state.Route 375 has been officially christened The Extraterrestrial Highway
- - a nod to the areas reputation for otherworldly sightings, and a ploy to
- attract more terrestrial tourists. Four signs proclaiming the new status will
- go up along a desolate stretch of the road north-east of Las Vegas. "Of course
- they're going to be both horizontal and vertical so extraterrestrials can see
- them as they land," said Tom Tait of the Nevada Commission On Tourism. Governor
- Bob Miller suggested the signs be placed flat on the ground so that aliens can
- land on them. The road is near a top-secret air force range and runs through
- isolated desert long a mecca for UFO seekers. Stories are told of seeing
- spaceships travelling at warp speeds. The fact that these sightings are close
- to a base where experimental planes are said to be tested has only fed rumours
- that captured alien spaceships are being tested there. The government denies
- this.
