HOOPER, Colo. -- Judy Messoline got tired of waking up with strangers, if not aliens, in her yard.
So four years ago she asked the Saguache County commissioners to allow her to build a UFO watchtower and campground so she cash in on people who were
already using her land to camp as they tried to spot aliens.
The San Luis Valley has long been considered a fertile ground for such searches, especially after claims of alien abductions, UFO landings and a wave
of cattle mutilations.
Since opening the UFO Watchtower in May 2000, Messoline has become a local celebrity. Last year she decided to hold a UFO conference and this year she
has added a rock garden celebrating three vortexes that several psychics say are in her front yard.
The conference is going to be held Saturday and Aug. 10.
Speakers will include a woman who claims she was taken aboard a UFO, and a video of what is described as UFO will be shown.
The conference also includes the ``Watch'' for the unexplained, Messoline said.
