In addition to the watchtower, she has a very strange garden consisting of rocks, sticks and an incredible amount of amazingly random junk offerings, laid out around what she describes as the location of a major Interdimensional Vortex. People leave offerings to the Vortex, which range from quite valuable items down to old hubcaps and half packets of chewing gum, all displayed with equal reverence.
She will also show you a small dry shrub nearby, which has magical powers. I had to agree, it was the best small dry shrub with magical powers that I have seen anywhere in the world. It didn't do anything magical while I was there, but hey, I'm not about to argue with Judy. [Traveling Dude, 05/14/2006]
Hooper, Colorado - UFO Watchtower I visited the UFO Watchtower during the Memorial Day weekend.
As has been said, it's in the middle of nowhere, but one of the more scenic
nowheres. From there one has a good view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
and Sand Dunes National Monument. If you're going to be in the area, the
Watchtower (more like a watch-platform) and dome-shaped gift shop is worth
seeing for the novelty of it. [Erik McCloud, 06/11/2001]
