Nevada UFOs & Other Alien Fun
In this episode, we cover UFOs in Nevada and other alien-themed fun. Nevada is the type of state to really highlight alien culture, whether it’s a UFO-Themed Road Trip Through Nevada or a quirky alien-themed cafe. Sara and Marisa discuss the Extraterrestrial Highway and where to stop along the way. Plus, is Area 51 real? While it’s known that Area 51 in Nevada is a military base associated with the U.S. Air Force, are the mysterious tales of UFO sightings real?
Gold Hill, Nevada’s Yellow Jacket Mine
As one of the most haunted places in Nevada, the Yellow Jacket Mine in Gold Hill has a pretty sordid past. On April 7, 1869, miners walked into Yellow Jacket Mine expecting a normal day. But due to an unfortunate accident, the mine caught fire and collapsed, killing 35 miners. Since this terrible incident, many people reported seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises. Especially on the fire anniversary, people have reported seeing ghosts wandering the town in their mining gear only to disappear into the night. During this podcast episode, we talk more about the haunted mine and whether or not it’s still open to this day.
