If you’re the least bit familiar with the Black Hills, you probably know that we’ve been the site for many news-breaking discoveries: Gold in the 1800’s, a former bog pit filled with the remains of over 50 wooly mammoths, the world’s most complete skeleton of a T-Rex and now extraterrestrials.

Yes, I am talking about aliens.

A Hot Springs man claims he witnessed a long, rectangular craft with bright radiating white lights, not once, not twice, but at least 4 times over a 2 ½ week period outside of his home.

During one of the sightings on Feb. 5, the man, who is not named in the article about the UFO sighting by the Sioux Falls branch of Examiner.com, decided to call the sheriff. Shortly after his report, he began seeing helicopters flying over the area.  Eventually, he received a call from the sheriff’s office stating the lights had come from a nearby construction site.

However, the man decided to check out this so-called construction site, and found nothing.

So, have the Black Hills become such a coveted tourist destination that intelligent life forms from outer space have started taking cosmic tour buses for a quick visit?

According to some witnesses, we may have been on the agenda for quite some time now.

Another siting occurred previously in Hot Springs in January of 2007, and two different accounts have been claimed to have occurred at Minuteman Missile Maintenance sites at Ellsworth in 1966 and 1992.

Should we start making special rates for intergalactic tourists? Skeptic or not, you must admit it be a great boost for the economy.
