First stop for UFOs: the Watchtower in Hooper
Amanda Moutinho
Halloween makes us question The Great Beyond. While witches and ghosts might walk our Earth, some people are more concerned about the inhabitants of other planets. The UFO Watchtower, located north of Hooper, CO, has a 360-degree view of the San Luis Valley. With no light pollution, people say this is a great spot to notice any alien contact.
The Watchtower is run by Judy Messoline. Originally moving to Hooper to raise cattle, Judy realized the UFO business was more profitable and in 2000 built a watchtower for enthusiasts to keep an eye on the sky.
There have been well over 60 number of claimed sightings, varying from different-colored lights, constant bright lights, lights zooming through the sky, and objects moving around in circles, witnessed by an individual, or groups of people.
You can also visit the garden, which several psychics have said holds two vortexes, meaning portals to different universes. You are encouraged to bring a personal token as an offering and enjoy the unique energy inside the garden.
But don’t worry if you don’t see any extra-terrestrials … at least there’s a gift shop.
