A – Z Cities with Mysteries – Real & Fictional

 

Rachel, NV

Rachel, Nevada considers itself “The UFO Capital of the World”. The delightfully oddball town is the nearest town to the secret aircraft testing facility at Groom Lake which is about 25 miles south of Rachel better known as “Area 51”. In 1976, the Governor renamed Nevada’s Route 375 to The Extraterrestrial Highway.



The military built their facility there and in the 1950s it was the perfect place to test experimental spy planes which some locals mistook for alien spacecraft—or so they say.
