Over the years then have been many sightings of Aliens and UFO’s in New Mexico. I can’t tell you how many shows I’ve seen on the Travel Channel etc. about such occurrences. In fact, a few years ago the state of New Mexico undertook a controversial ad campaign hoping to drive tourism based on the rumors. Here is a funny clip from that campaign:

So when I undertook my cross country journey last week I found myself deep in alien country. Driving from SoCal we decided to crash for the night in Gallup NM. We pulled up to a Best Western, and I went in to secure a room for me and my buddy Cooper. (BTW, Cooper got to pick his own name for this blog…although he had only two choices, DB or Cooper.)
As I approached the counter there was a strange looking woman helping another gentleman. I studied from a distance, but really couldn’t tell what her race was etc. As she finished up with the customer I approached the counter. Upon closer look, I almost shit my pants! The woman behind the counter was an alien. I’m not talking border jumper folks, I’m talking ET!! I know what you must be thinking, I smoked too much crack, dropped too much LSD, or drank too many Red Bulls, but I assure you I was of clear mind at the time. So why do I think she was an Alien? Here’s why:
- She had olive color skin
- She has big black eyes
- She had a big forehead with no eye brows! She penciled in her brows.
- Her mouth was the size of a walnut, and very round
- She had unusually long fingers
Having never faced an alien before, I did not know what to expect. Was she going to take me to the mother ship? Did she want to eat my brains? Conduct science experiments on me? All I could do was be very quiet, get my room, and run like hell.
Skunk: I need a room for the night.
Alien: unnnnhuuuh
Skunk: Two beds please.
Alien: unnnnhuuuh
Skunk: How much? I have AAA.
Alien: $55.00 plus tax
Skunk: Thanks. (I was going to ask for more discounts but opted out. Additional conversation is not recommended when dealing with extraterrestrials)
Alien: unnnn
In Skunk’s Head: What the fuck! This Alien wants to eat my brains. Keep cool Skunk. She doesn’t know you’re on to her… keep cool.
Alien: Card
Skunk: Here you go. Thank you very much.
Alien: (Silent)
In Alien’s Head: I wonder how this boy’s brains taste? I bet the grand master would love this fine specimen. I will have to visit him later.
The Alien avoids eye contact and continues typing on her computer. She then makes the room keys and hands them to me.
Skunk: Thank you.
Alien: Unnnhuuuh
I quickly leave and get into my truck.
Skunk: Dude, I just met an Alien!
Cooper: What?
Skunk: The woman inside, she was an Alien, no shit…genuine ET shit!
Cooper: No Shit.
Skunk: No Shit! She probably wanted to suck my brains out of my head. You should go see this shit! Go ask her if she has any ear plugs or something.
Cooper: hummm, this is New Mexico.
Skunk: Seriously, you should check this shit out.
We then drove around to the back of the hotel and parked. Over the next 10 minutes I was in awe of whole Alien experience just I had. I wouldn’t stop talking about it. I should have called the National Enquirer or something. In the end, Cooper wouldn’t go validate my experience, so this will just be another great story for my blog. Cooper…could you please add anything I forgot?
Just Remember, if you are ever in Gallup New Mexico, stop at the Best Western and ask for the night clerk.
