Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a geo-art series dedicated to interesting facts about California. The caches in this series are all within the La Purisima Mission hiking trail areas. Bring a pen/pencil to sign log sheets, tweezers for any tiny caches, small items to trade, and hiking necessities (food, water, sunscreen, etc.). Beware of poisonous plants and wildlife. Please take care of all caches and replace exactly as found to ensure they last a while.

Topanga Canyon, just outside Los Angeles, has been home to many UFO sightings.  People claimed to see large objects hovering and gliding silently in the ravines, strange animals have been sighted, and there have even been alleged abductions in the area.  Sightings continue today, although they are not as frequent as they were in the 90's.  Because of the secluded nature of the area, it seems to be an ideal location for UFO sightings.
