Meet the 5 best places to see Aliens...
On a remote highway in Australia, visitors have reported strange sightings and experiences for years.
Wycliffe Well Roadhouse is located between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek - and this is where motorists claim to have been driven off the road by an unknown force.
The roadhouse on Stuart Highway was built in 1872 and has been plagued by paranormal events for decades - with visitors reporting strange sightings since World War II.
Now, it is said to be the 5th best place in the world to see UFOs.
The Royal Australian Air Force has also launched investigations into the incidents reported there.
Wycliffe' Well's brochure tells visitors: "UFO sightings are so common that if you stayed up all night watching, you'd be considered unlucky not to see anything."
In 2021, a witness recalled her experience within hours of arriving at the roadhouse caravan park.
Tamzen Hayes and her friend Lucy were playing cards when they "saw something inexplicable".
Writing for travel website Escape, she said: "What we saw was a strange oval-shaped ship gliding into the sunset like a cowboy at the end of a Western."
"We could only watch frozen as she disappeared. I swear we saw something inexplicable in the sky that night."
In 1985, Australian sailor and UFO fanatic Lew Farkas, who owned Wycliffe for 25 years before retiring, spoke to Vice, where he explained that he arrived at the site in 1985 to conduct a "five- year old".
The entrepreneur hoped to make Wycliffe a real tourist destination and a mecca for UFO enthusiasts.
In the 1860s, Wycliffe Well was a popular resting place for the Overland Telegraph Line and later provided soldiers in the Second World War with a place to rest and refuel.
During this time, people reported seeing a lot of unusual activity in the sky, with soldiers recording almost constant sightings of UFOs.
When the war ended, people continued to visit the area and report unusual activity, which eventually saw Farkas invest over AUS 4 million (£1.9 million) before retiring in 2010.
"We started converting everything - every wall, every piece of space in the area - to do with aliens, to do with UFOs. It became famous very quickly and put Wycliffe Well on the world map," said he.
Farkasi installed a gas station, a bar, accommodation, a shop, a camping site and even a fishing lake to cater to foreign fishermen and others visiting the place.
He built a Galaxy Auditorium which was a 300-seat restaurant with a stage for performances, took a tourist train that circled a lake and held night tours with aliens and UFOs.
For those desperate to catch a glimpse of the extraterrestrial, he installed a viewing platform called Mount Wycliffe where people could stand to get a better view of the UFOs.
"Every aspect of Wycliffe Well had to be made alien-oriented or space-oriented," he told the ABC.
From the moment he arrived on the scene, Farkas knew there was something special about him.
Speaking to Vice, he recalled that "there were lights flashing around the sky doing crazy maneuvers that you just couldn't explain."
Farkas said that during his time at the property, there have been hundreds of reported sightings that have had various impacts on customers.
"In many cases people were being followed on the highway by the lights," he explained, adding that "they would pull over and panic so much that they would say, 'Give us a room quickly, we can't stay there.'"
"So that was good for business... Sometimes it drove people away in a panic, but more customers were curious or UFO enthusiasts."
Some of the tales were so gruesome that guests at Wycliffe would want to tell the stories, prompting Farkas to place diaries on the counter to let visitors recount their extraterrestrial experiences.
Farkas recalled that some guests claimed to have seen aliens in the desert.
Anthony Vanderzalm, who took over the site from Farkas in 2010, has said that groups of visitors have claimed to have been lured out to witness strange activities that left him baffled.
He told the Journal News: "I don't know what I was thinking when I arrived. My mind was blown. It's been 4 out of 5 times that all the people outside the restaurant have come out and noticed something very unusual. No two are the same. times. All kinds of different lights, changing direction and colors."
If you drive to Wycliffe Well today, you'll find a sign that reads: "Caution, look carefully, UFO landing site ahead."
But then it is very clear that the rest stop has been abandoned though perhaps not by all life forms. / Pamphlet
