The Extraterrestrial highway, also known as Nevada State Route 375, is a 98-mile highway in South Central Nevada. Rumors have circulated that an alien spacecraft crashed near this highway in 1947. In 1955 a heavily guarded military base was built and is known today as Area 51. Route 375 attracts people from all walks of life to investigate the unexplained Alien phenomena. Some must see locations would be E.T. Fresh Jerky, the Alien Research Center with a towering alien statue outside, or Rachel, a small town dedicated entirely to Aliens.
