How this Trail Works

Step 1 - Get Your Trail

This mobile exclusive trail is a collection of key locations from Des Moines to Maury Island where this eerie event unfolded.

Step 2 - Receive Text

Your trail will be instantly delivered to your phone via text and email and is ready to use immediately! There is no app to download. Your trail can be saved to your phone’s home screen for easy one-tap access.

Step 3 - Check-in

When visiting a location, you must ensure your cell phone's location services are activated, and you are within range of the location to check into each venue. Each check-in gets you one step closer to a bait cow stuffy and potentially winning a 6-armed alien t-shirt!

Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just curious, the UFO Mysteries Trail offers a unique mix of history, mystery, and adventure.

We recommend visiting the locations in the order they are set up on the Trail to get the most out of your experience.*

*While participating is free, some locations on the Trail are only accessible by ferry boat, which has a fee. It is possible to earn prizes without riding the ferry, but we highly recommend it if you are able! The final location is not handicapped accessible and is not required to earn prizes.

Note that details about locations are subject to change. When visiting businesses, check the operating hours online before your visit.
