LOOK: Lander, Wyoming Has Its Own UFO

NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Drive along. Don't stare at them it's RUDE!

Just a UFO stopping to use the restrooms and grab a snack as they cross the galaxy.

Obviously, Wyoming is a rest stop, I mean, we have 2 spaceports.

One in Green River and another at Devil's Tower.

But what about the alien rest stop outside of Lander, Wyoming?

Wyoming attracts our most foreign tourists from throughout the universe. Highway 789 near Lander. 11/08/23,  wrote Donna.

I won't dare ask the property owner what's going on.

He has no choice but to deny any knowledge of what we are obviously not supposed to see over his property.

Then again, maybe they stopped to ask directions.

Wyoming's two registered spaceports are nowhere near here.

Should we just point to Green River or east to Devil's Tower and make beeping noises at them?

I don't speak alien... do you?

Many stories have been written about Wyoming's Green River Intergalactic Space Port.

The most recent one by Cowboy State Daily, titled:

Why The Heck … Does Green River, Wyoming, Have An Intergalactic Spaceport?

In past articles, I've pointed out that Wyoming has two spaceports. Don't forget Devils Tower.  The "documentary" Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is well known.

You can look up the Green River Intergalactic Space Port on any map.

But did you know you can look it up on a special map made just for pilots?

Let's back up to see how this spaceport came to be.

Much like the invention of the Jackalope in Douglas, Wyoming (which is now world-famous) the Green River Space Port was said to be an interplanetary humanitarian effort to save potential lifeforms on Jupiter.

The planet was being bombarded by the remnants of a comment at the time.

What began as tongue-in-cheek by the local city council is now officially recognized on aeronautical charts.

Yeah, that's right, the FAA has a sense of humor.

Then again, anyone from Jupiter is welcome, for real.

Just, nobody from the giant planet has taken them up on it.

This odd-looking map below is called a Sectional Chart. It's used by pilots.

Let's zoom in to the Green River area to see what the FAA has named that little dirt and gravel strip locals call the  Green River Intergalactic Space Port. 

You notice an airport identifier of 48U. Not really a clever name. It just helps pilots to find it when using electronic maps or planning a flight.

Cheyenne's airport identifier is KCYS. Casper's is KCPR. The Rock Springs airport is identified as KRKS.

BUT HOLD ON!

What's that written above 48U?

Well, I'll be...

Some years ago the FAA officially recognized that little green river airport as the Green River Intergalactic Airport

Digging a little deeper into the official FAA listings, they do include "SPACE PORT" in their write-up. They just did not care to write it all out on the map.

So, there you go, It's official.

The only officially recognized Intergalactic Spaceport on Earth.
