This weekend I had the pleasure of attending my first Alien Daze Festival in McMinnville, Oregon. I've seen pictures of previous years so I knew I would be in for a real interesting time.
On May 11, 1950, Mr. Paul Trent noticed an "unidentified flying object" in the sky and took a picture of it. It was later published in the News-Register and later the Oregonian. Within a month it was published in LIFE magazine. A while later, the photograph was carefully analyzed and even the best professionals could not prove it was fake. They just could not figure out what the heck it was. The whole sequence of events has led to a UFO Festival which is held ever year in McMinnville. It is the biggest gathering in the Pacific Northwest and second in the country to Roswell New Mexico.
We walked around 3rd street, which was blocked off due to the parade, I took some pictures and we found a place to sit to watch the parade. The parade lasted about an hour and we saw a lot of weird costumes.
