About This Item

Alex

Area 51 or bust!

Edit: May 2009: This alien's name is Alex, as he was originally retrieved from a cache near Alexandria, Ohio. Alex has been traveling since May 2003 - 6 years now! Alex started out in Ohio and finally made his way to his first goal location in Nevada. A friend took him in, let him rest up, and then took him on his first European vacation in centuries (his family helped build Stonehenge, but that was a while ago). Now Alex would like to visit the famous UFO-sighting location of Roswell, New Mexico, and be reunited with Team Donutdog. Please help him make his way there if you can!

Please don't write his "secret" tag number in your online log, lest the Men In Black use the tracking number to find him before he reaches his destination.

Thanks for helping this stressed-out extraterrestrial!

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 5/2/2010 Team Donutdog grabbed it   Visit Log

On May 2, 2010, I retrieved this TB from its holder, geowalkabout at the "Lost and Found" geocaching event in Albuquerque... which doesn't begin to describe the actual situation. Only photos can do that - attached!

  • My TB is the first alien on the left
  • Play Where's Waldo and find Alex in this photo

Ha! From the log in the cache, I had a hunch that Alex had caught a ride with the geowalkaboutarians, and I knew he would have a better story to tell than if I had just picked him up directly! 🙂

We drove down to Roswell today to pick up Alex, but he had vanished without a trace! Aliens are like that - always finding the nearest wormhole and taking off, and never even leaving a note to tell you which solar system they went to. I guess he had more traveling to do. Maybe we'll catch you next time you're in our corner of the galaxy, Alex!

We are the culprits that absconded with this travel bug. See , being extraterrestrials ourselves, we went to party with grolock the alsamarrian. He used to live with us on Eyman street at Walker AFB in Roswell, until he was the personal guest of Bill Clinton at the white house. There he began negotiating the Intergalactic Free Trade Agreement which is currently sitting on his half-brother's (Barrack Obamasamarian - later shortened) desk for signature into law. He told us this bill is more important than health care. I dunno, but he seems to know what he is doing.

After consuming mass quantities of Tequila, we flew over some lakes in Alabama just to scare the fishermen a bit and later found ourselves at the West Texas Geocaching event on Saturday the 13th of March. We would have notified you sooner, but we had massive systems failures and again, Grolock is a refugee on earth and in Roswell, NM. Last I heard is he is panhandling for some loose change in front of the KFC in Northern Roswell.

If you desire, we can mail this fellow to you but not until he finishes sharing some ideas with Grolock on where to have docking services provided. It seems that Grolock was blindsided and was not aware that Governor Richardson already began contruction of a space port in Southern New Mexico. Grolock told me in the strictest of confidence that Bill Richardson came from the poor side of his family.

Yay! Thank you, Darlinsue, and all the other great cachers who helped Alex get to Roswell! I am looking forward to seeing this TB that I sent out into the world in Ohio nearly seven years ago! I haven't seen him since, but he has been traveling the whole time, seeing the US, Europe and even a stop off the coast of northern Africa! I am hoping I can make a run down to Roswell next weekend to pick him up. Thank you!
