While an amusing stop, and we were happy to have taken a slight detour, I am not sure how much longer the UFO Welcome Center will be in operation. Frankly I think the town is missing a major tourist opportunity by not leaning in, but some of the spray paint implies the center will soon be moved.

Maybe it's because I hadn't seen it in nearly ten years, but I was kind of surprised by how bad off the UFO Welcome Center is looking these days. Missing pieces, frayed tarps, a severe case of the leans; it looks like the whole thing is about to fall over. I don't think anyone is going to be going up inside there any more.
[Dean Jeffrey, 01/06/2024]- Elmwood, Wisconsin - UFO Capital of Wisconsin
There is only one UFO remaining in a corner of the Sailer's Meats building that you would not even know what it was if you weren't there with the purpose of finding it.
[Kevin, 11/23/2023]UFO Capital of Wisconsin:- Address:
- 600 W. Winter Ave., Elmwood, WI
- Directions:
- Roughly midway between Minneapolis and Eau Claire, and around ten miles south of I-94 exit 28. Sailer's Meats has a small UFO standing to the right of its building.
Didn't have much time to spend at the UFO Welcome Center, but was worth stopping to see.
[Amy DangRabbit, 11/14/2023]- Kelly, Kentucky - Site of 1955 Alien Attack
The UFO is gone. It's been replaced by a plaque of the Ten Commandments. Bummer!

- Address:
- 7490 Old Madisonville Rd, Kelly, KY
- Directions:
- From downtown Hopkinsville drive north about 7.5 miles on Virginia St./US-41. Turn right onto Kelly Church Rd, cross the train tracks, then turn left onto Old Madisonville Rd.

The former display of multiple UFOs always looked temporary, but one flying saucer is still better than none.
