  • International UFO Museum Research Center

    Today Fletcher took me to the International UFO Museum Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico. It was a real eye-opener.

    Fletcher started by showing me the type of communication and surveillance equipment that was available to the US Air Force in 1947.

    After sharing evidence from the crash site, he went on to detail the extent of the government cover up.

    For Fletcher, the alien autopsy is clearly one of the most convincing pieces of evidence.

    According the Mr. F, this display is quite accurate.

    Alien autopsy!

    Even so, I remained skeptical.

    At any rate, we both enjoyed the alien landing recreation.

    And Fletcher REALLY enjoyed the research library. He asked me to read numerous direct sources to him aloud. It was slightly embarrassing, but then, he had some trouble holding the folios.

    Afterward, Fletcher asked to do some shopping at the local alien shops.

    I’m still not convinced, but it’s clear that Fletcher is a TRUE BELIEVER.

  • Hermann Missouri

    During our recent stay in Salem, MA, we met some friendly folks who recommended a stop in Hermann, a small town in the heart of Missouri’s wine country.

    Believe it or not, the city of Hermann owns and operates its own campground, right in the middle of town!

  • Visiting Old Friends

    On my way out west, I stopped in to visit my oldest and dearest friends. Here’s Brian in the kitchen (above) and Anna staring down Skully McSkullkan.

  • Halloween in Salem, MA

    We finally realized a long-term goal of mine — to spend Halloween in Salem! To make it easy to join the festivities, we reserved space in a nearby campground on Winter Island, across the bay from Marblehead and a short 20 minute walk from downtown.

  • Cape Cod: Provincetown Museum

    Today started out a bit misty, so we headed indoors to learn about the history of Provincetown and climb the Pilgrim Monument.

    Perhaps the most important thing they want you to know right away is that the pilgrims landed HERE first! (They’re pretty serious about this…)
