Puerto Rico Town To Build UFO Landing Strip
<snip>

LAJAS, Puerto Rico -- People in this sleepy hamlet are so sure they have been receiving other-worldly visitors, they want to build a UFO landing strip to welcome them.

A bright green sign along a lonely country road in southwestern Puerto Rico proudly displays a silhouette of a flying saucer and two words: "Extraterrestrial Route."

Most Puerto Ricans laughed when a horse farmer installed the sign on his property at the request of Reynaldo Rios, a local elementary school teacher who says he's been communicating with alien visitors to this U.S. territory since he was a child.

Rios, a 39-year-old with a goatee and a shock of dark hair, won't be ignored. With the blessing of a local government desperate for tourist dollars, he's dedicated himself to building the UFO landing strip.

Lajas Mayor Marcos Irizarry hopes that UFO enthusiasts will flock to Lajas as they have to Roswell, New Mexico, the site of a supposed UFO crash in the 1940s. Hundreds of visitors have already come to check out the Extraterrestrial Route since the sign went up, Irizarry said.

1. Great news
I just wonder if the aliens will be able to read the signs directing them to that air strip.

Do aliens speak Spanish or English?

English is the OFFICIAL world-wide, inter-planetary language. The GOP said so!

English is GOD'S language! all other languages are 'commie' by nature
