2025 will be our 32nd year for the event.
Aside from being a fantastic outdoor end-of-summer get-away, this trip will be educational, thought-provoking, and hopefully very experiential. Over the years, many attendees have seen their first UFOs at this outing. It’s one of those “experiences” in life that you will always remember with smiles, stories, great memories, and laughter. So… give yourself a genuine break in nature before that long slow winter hibernation process begins to set in.
ABOUT “THE MYSTERIOUS VALLEY”
The San Luis Valley (also known as The Mysterious Valley as a result of a book titled by the same name), is well-known for it extremely high number of UFO sightings, supernatural and other paranormal activity.
UFO CE-5 CONTACT EVENT
Friday & Saturday Evenings at Sunset
Preparation: Participants undergo a period of mental and physical preparation. This includes meditation, setting intentions, and aligning the group’s collective focus.
Initiation of Contact: The group sends out coherent thought sequences and visualizations to signal their presence and intent to make contact. This might involve projecting images or mental messages.
Observation and Interaction: Participants watch the sky and surroundings for any signs of extraterrestrial presence. This could be lights, objects, or other anomalies. If contact is perceived, participants attempt to establish a form of communication.
Debrief and Analysis: After the event, the group discusses their experiences, reviews any recorded evidence, and analyzes the outcomes. This helps in understanding the nature of the contact and improving future attempts.
SPECIAL NOTE: Small kids and pets may be distractions for the evening CE-5 sessions, so please make arrangements for their care during the night events. We want to do everything practical to create a comfortable atmosphere for everyone without disruption or distraction for an adult crowd. It’s important that we are considerate and respectful of everyone’s experience. Simple common sense & courtesy prevail here. : )

SUNDAY
Anytime– Have breakfast at Oasis Restaurant to get to know each other better, compare notes about the CE-5 Contact Event, our amazing presentation by Sierra Neblina, observations with new friends, and see if anyone wants to coordinate schedules to trek to the Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls, Hot Springs or other fun activities in the areas.
EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS– The temperatures this time of year are historically up to the mid-’80s, down to the upper-40’s at night with brief afternoon showers. Temperatures can drop into the mid-’40s at night but check the weather link below for more accurate and current local weather conditions. We will be there during a dark phase of the moon which should be great for viewing stars and activity in the night sky over the Dunes. You never know about the weather there so be prepared for hot, cool and/ or wet weather at any time (even in the same hour). Equipment suggestions include bottled water, camp chairs (extra if you have them), water-shoes or booties (for Zapata Falls), towels for the showers, rain gear, walkie-talkies (channel 7- if we use them), binoculars, cameras, video cameras, jacket or warm clothing for Saturday’s sky watch and anything else I think of to put on this list later : ) Keep checking! Some cell phone services are available from time to time but not guaranteed…Verizon has coverage there. Most services aren’t available in the area so its helpful to bring a walkie-talkie to stay in touch with the group you might come with.
ENJOY THE AREA AT YOUR OWN PACE ~

CONTACT INFORMATION
AREA PHONE NUMBERS
Oasis Camp Store 719 378-2222
UFO Watchtower 719-378-2296
UFO Watchtower– You don’t want to miss stopping here at this one-of-a-kind place in the world visiting Judy Mesoline & Stan, and seeing what little souvenirs or gifts you might find. You can also get an update on some of the most recent UFO activity and some of the most dramatic UFO events noted in the immediate area. It’s important to support the Watchtower’s work so make sure you do your part and buy at least a couple of items to give your friends at home a smile (they’re great conversation pieces & mementos). The Watchtower is located on the west side of Highway 17 just north of the Great Sand Dunes turnoff. Tell Judy & Stan…“Rick says Hi!” : )
Zapata Falls– A memorable experience to a sacred Native American ritual site (waterfall at the end of a really high walled stone grotto). It’s a 20-min. drive south from the campsite and a 15-min. light-medium hike to the grotto. To walk back to the falls you’ll need some water shoes (old tennis shoes work great…don’t forget ‘em).
Great Sand Dunes National Monument– About 5-min. north of the campground.
