Pilots Leave Hysterical Messages At Wyoming UFO Port

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

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.

Pilots have left comments after landing there, advising anyone who might be considering doing the same.

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?

Look for that map below in this story.

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 comet 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 Little Green River Airport as GREEN RIVER INTERGALACTIC.

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, to save space.

So, there you go, It's official.

The only officially recognized Intergalactic Spaceport on Earth.
