UFO Pad.

World's First UFO Landing Pad

For a visitor center, it was really a fun place! The ladies who were working there said we were aliens because we were from West Virginia. The First UFO Landing Pad is clean and well kept, and it has a gift shop with a UFO theme.

World's First UFO Landing Pad

There is a pool hall and auto parts store across the street in case the aliens need to pick up some repair supplies or just relax. The gift shop was closed on Mondays so I did not get to go inside. The UFO landing pad is featured on the town logo.

UFO landing pad is situated in St. Paul, AB. The sign mounted on the pad reads, "Republic of St. Paul (Stargate Alpha). The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife. That future travel in space will be safe for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."
