Rachel

Rachel is a small town off Nevada's famous Extraterrestrial Highway. People here are well aware of their reputation for being one of the best places in the world to spot a UFO. It's a popular tourist destination for people who are fascinated by aliens. The town is located in the Sand Spring Valley in Nevada's southern region. Rachel was founded only a few years ago, in 1973. In its prime, the town had a population of around 500 people. However, when the nearby mine closed in 1988, many people left. If they aren't working at the town's one operating business, the majority of the people who live here are retirees.

The Little A'Le'Inn Restaurant and Bar is the town's only remaining business. The owners of this kitschy eatery welcome visitors to town all year and will gladly share information about the most recent alien sightings or activity. Make sure to stop by their small gift shop inside the restaurant. And don't forget to pose with the alien outside. This charming diner is almost identical to any other small-town eatery, except that it is completely decked out in alien decor. There's even an inn if you want to spend the night (because it's easier to spot extraterrestrial activity at night). This place feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, which it probably is.

There is no television reception, and the only public telephone requires a calling card. But it's all part of Rachel's strange charm. Rachel has long been a popular destination for UFO enthusiasts due to its proximity to the infamous Area 51. Rachel is the closest town to Area 51. If you drive down the highway at night, there's a good chance you'll see some strange lights in the sky. Hundreds of extraterrestrial sightings have occurred in the area. Rachel is your best bet if you want to spot a UFO.
