An
independent film on Rachel, Nevada,*
was shown at the
Denver
International Film Festival* on Oct. 18, 1996.
(Produced by Jessica Landaw & David Dawes
of Random Productions.)
Rachel, Nevada takes us to a small town 110 miles from Las Vegas, site of a
formerly secret US Air Force installation known as Area 51. The base
develops new planes such
as the stealth bomber. The secrecy shrouding Area 51 has given rise
to suspicions over the years,
earning the town of Rachel (primarily a collection of trailer homes)
the title "UFO Capital of the
World," and Nevada State Highway 375 "Alien Highway". The film focuses
on the everyday
people of Rachel, once left alone to service the military, now the
center of tourism and a publicity
boom. There are enough stories and photos to persuade even the most
die-hard skeptics that
something extraterrestrial may be going on.

The members of "Mojave Rat-Pack" are coming
We are the "Mojave Rat-Pack".
After reading regarding the town of Rachel and some perfidious rumors re: UFO's, my comrades
decided that Rachel must be experienced.
We will be there Sept.4th, we require an area to camp, we prefer a dry lake.
We need desolation.
If anyone could suggest a "spot" let me know. We are aware of "limits".
