Wyoming Has Its Own Area 51

According to The Pentagon,

There is no such place as Area 51, and that is not what we call it.

Yet rumors abound across America of a secret base that creates new, secret aircrafts based on alien technology.

Did you know that Wyoming has an AREA 51?

We do. It's just used for a different purpose.

Wyoming's Area 51 is where you can go on horseback to camp and hunt elk.

This Wilderness camp is located in elk area 51 in Northwest Wyoming just 8 miles from Yellowstone Park.

They have a September Archery Season and an October Rifle Season.

If you like, there is a guided tour, which includes a 5-hour horseback ride into the Wilderness. You will stay in a wall tent camp, and they will serve you three fulfilling meals a day.

They strive to harvest 6-point or better bulls out of this camp with average bulls being 315-330 and several in the 340-350+ range.

Wyoming Game & Fish has provided this handy Area 51 map to help you navigate the area.

Here is another Area 51 map for the elk hunt area.

I suppose you're hoping that these are alien elk that you get to hunt. Sorry, but no.

If you do visit you will be in one of Wyoming's most remote areas, so maybe you'll get to see a Bigfoot if you're lucky. No promises.

If anything you can take photos of the signs and brag to your friends that you got to see the inside of Area 51.

Just don't tell them that it was Area 51 Wyoming.

Maybe you should try one of Wyoming's "UFO SPACE PORTS"

That's actually a real thing.

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?

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 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 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.
