Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrieval and Repair Service
In-Ko-Pah Mountains
The In-Ko-Pah Mountains, located along Interstate 8 east of San Diego, are home to an unusual roadside attraction known as Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrieval and Repair Service. This quirky site can be found on In-Ko-Pah Park Road, which runs parallel to the interstate and leads to the famous Desert Tower.
At first glance, the area appears to be a random collection of old vehicles and discarded furniture. However, upon closer inspection, visitors may spot a small flying saucer among the debris.
The site is run by a colorful local character who goes by the name Coyote, often accompanied by his dog Luna.
Coyote claims to operate a unique service for extraterrestrial visitors. He explains that his hilltop location provides an excellent vantage point for spotting UFOs in distress, allowing him to offer repair services to stranded aliens. According to Coyote, these otherworldly visitors have come to rely on his expertise to fix their flying saucers and return home.
So when the aliens and their flying saucers need parts or help, they check in with Coyote and his flying saucer repair service.
The repair site features a variety of alien-themed displays, including extraterrestrial figures positioned inside vehicles and campers. Coyote also offers stickers and small souvenirs to visitors. He's known for sharing intriguing stories about aliens and UFOs with those who stop by.
Mystery Free Standing Rocks
Adding to the site's eccentricity, Coyote occasionally hosts movie screenings on a large rock at the property's edge. He also engages in unusual activities like "fishing for lobsters" (actually large scorpions) down the road, claiming that aliens enjoy these as a delicacy.
Coyote believes that a portal to other worlds may exist in the area, and he hopes that one day, the aliens will reveal its location to him. This unique roadside attraction offers visitors a blend of desert quirkiness, imaginative storytelling, and a touch of extraterrestrial mystery.
