A tighter loop through the Southwest hitting Roswell, White Sands, the Phoenix Lights corridor, and Sedona. Easier driving than the Pilgrimage and a good first UAP road trip.

STOPS · 4
  1. 01
    SIGHTING

    Roswell, New Mexico

    NEXT STOP 3.5 H

    Start here. The 1947 incident and the town built around its mythology. Spend half a day and move.

  2. 02
    LANDMARK

    White Sands, NM

    NEXT STOP 5 H

    An hour in the gypsum dunes at sunset is one of the stranger experiences available in America.

  3. 03
    SIGHTING

    Phoenix, Arizona

    NEXT STOP 2 H

    The 1997 Phoenix Lights event — witnessed by thousands including the governor — is the most documented mass UAP sighting in US history. Drive the I-10 corridor at night and you'll understand the sightlines.

    OVERNIGHT Phoenix — good hotel options, reasonable prices
  4. 04
    LANDMARK

    Sedona, Arizona

    End here. The red rock country and the anomalous airspace above it. Two nights minimum.

FIELD NOTES · 3
  • March and October are ideal — comfortable temperatures across the full route.
  • The Phoenix Lights corridor is best experienced after dark. Bring binoculars.
  • Book Sedona accommodation well in advance — it's one of the most visited towns in Arizona.
