When you enter the old gates by the historical marker, the alien gravesite is to the right, up near the other historical marker for the oldest gravesite. It's past the headstones in the fenced in area.

There is a large boulder at the site along with a cross. It is under a tree beneath a large bent over limb. We had no luck on Loretta, the talking Parrot, but it's a lovely peaceful graveyard, with many beautiful tombstones.

We found it. It's on the right side. Off the drive to the right of the cemetery sign. There is one tree toward the front of the cemetery and two trees a little further back. It's between those two, with a large stone just to the right of the headstone. Please don't take the headstone. Just take a picture.

Unfortunately the headstone has been stolen. The grave is still there, under a tree, but it is now unmarked.
