RonnieAdventures: RonnieAdventure #0614 - Benson, Arizona and "The Thing?"

As I get older, I prefer short flights over long drives, so I was happy when Kolohe's friend offered to take us to Arizona in his Landspeeder. Unfortunately, when he fired it up, one of the thrusters malfunctioned and destroyed the hyperdrive. The nearest replacement hyperdrive was on Tatooine; so we ended up driving to Arizona and New Mexico the "old way" - in our Xterra.

This purpose of this RonnieAdventure was to determine if we could find evidence that aliens from outer space have visited Earth.

Our first stop was in Benson (population 5,355) to visit The World University (WU). WU was founded by Dr. H. John Zitko, who was dedicated to education in esoteric, spiritual, and non-traditional subjects. Apparently, after the death of Dr. Zitko, the Benson property was sold and Dr. Zitko's daughter moved WU headquarters to Townsend, Tennessee. We were told that Dr. Zitko's Lemurian Theo-Christic Conception lessons are still sold online.

Although we did not find WU in Benson, he did find some dinosaur exhibits located between McDonald's restaurant and Love's gas station.

For several miles along Interstate-10 we kept noticing a large number of billboards advertising "The Thing?" at Exit 322. This seemed like something we should investigate, so we stopped at Exit 322 to "Join us on a journey of imagination, speculation, and conspiracy. Allow yourself to believe that everything you were told about history is false. Everything you have learned in school or history books is a fabrication - devised to shelter the citizens of Earth from the truth. Throughout man's time on Earth, kingdoms, empires, and governments have tried to suppress the facts. They only allowed bits and pieces of evidence to leak out - in order to hide the truth."

To reach "The Thing?" museum entrance, we had to walk through a large gift shop that included all kinds of tourist items ranging from Mexican Catrina Skeleton Dolls to alien fortune tellers. We did not purchase anything.

After paying our museum entrance fee, we were given a lengthy brochure to help us "unlock the mystery of The Thing?." There was too much information in the brochure to summarize because the timeline started with dinosaurs in the Mesozoic Era and ran to modern times.

Supposedly, "The Thing?" was discovered sometime after WW II in an Arizona mine. The brochure stated "Some believe it is cursed and dire consequences awaited those who touch it. Some believe it contains a secret so terrifying, it could cause mass hysteria." Since this is a family blog, no detailed pictures of "The Thing?" are included.

Exhibits in the museum indicate that petroglyphs and unknown writing found at Arizona sites tend to prove that aliens were on Earth for millions of years, dating back to the Mesozoic Era. Southwest Indian tribes later followed examples of ancient alien writings and made their own petroglyphs using a rock chipping technique.

Dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Era were living peacefully until the aliens arrived.

When Aliens arrived to take over Earth, the Aliens had to eliminate the dinosaurs because the dinosaurs were endangering the atmosphere by emitting too much methane gas.
