PHOENIX — “Do you believe we are alone in the universe?”
The “UFO Experience: The Truth is Out There” — which opens at the Arizona Boardwalk in Scottsdale on Tuesday — begs the question those who enter the UFO and extraterrestrial life exhibit.
The family-friendly museum dives into the history and societal fascination with life from other worlds, including tales of abductions, stories of human-alien contact and accounts of phenomena like the renowned Phoenix Lights of 1997. The display will feature over 200 artifacts from UFOlogists and collectors across seven galleries, organizers said.
“The UFO Experience: The Truth is Out There is the only UFO attraction in the country,” Managing Partner for Arizona Boardwalk Ran Knishinsky said in a press release.
“This is an entertaining, educational, and interactive exhibition that focuses on aliens, UFOs, abduction phenomena, and even alien influence on human civilization. We are so excited to share it with everyone: skeptic or believer! It will certainly make you wonder if we exist alone!”
