What better evidence could there be than a crashed UFO on the Playa that aliens are carefully monitoring Burning Man?
I am continuing my exploration of the humorous, whimsical and weird sculptures of Burning Man today and tomorrow. Today I want to focus on possible alien influence…
I saw a flying saucer once, so it is not surprising that I would assume this buzzard that I am petting came from outer space. (Photo by Peggy Mekemson.)
One of my blogging friends from Canada wonders what aliens from a UFO might think if they landed at Burning Man. Would they feel right at home? Would anyone even recognize them? (Well here’s a secret, Sue, a top-secret, a ‘for the President’s eyes only’ type secret. They already have! Don’t tell anyone, however. There is dire punishment. You will be forced to cross the border and live at the White House.)
My post today features irrefutable proof of aliens at Burning Man. There are orange aliens and blue aliens and buzzard aliens. There are Burners who may or may not be aliens. Who would know? There are flying saucers and baby aliens and monster aliens. There are even alien robots. But most frightening of all, the most horrifying thing, is the alien BLOB.
And all of this is true, I swear. Or is that fake true?
If further proof of alien presence at Burning Man is needed, consider this UFO. Before landing at Burning Man, it was seen in the Bay Area, and just about everyone knows that the Silicon Valley is under alien influence, not to mention UC Berkeley.
Alien robots are often found out in the Playa and in Black Rock City.
I wandered into a tent and was met by this fellow. Note the eyes on this fellow and on the guy above…
Now check out these eyes! This alien cycled into our camp and demanded a cold beer.
This monster robot and his alien dog (photo left) hung out in front of the Center Camp Cafe.
Who could ever deny that this monster came from another galaxy.
Or this alien baby?
Its mama, a famous ballet dancer on her planet, had stopped off at Burning Man several years earlier. She must have left an egg.
Peggy snuggled up with this orange alien for a photo. The fence in the background tells you that you have arrived at the Outer Limits of Burning Man, where you would expect aliens to hang out.
Sure enough, we soon found their camp.
An alien cat…
And the alien buzzard I stopped to pet.
As for Burners (the inhabitants at Burning Man) it’s hard to tell who might be an alien. I figured this guy definitely had alien blood. Either that or he had just stuck his finger in a light socket.
There is no doubt about this purple man. It is rare that the aliens are so obvious.
Another obvious alien. This one had six limbs, two from her torso and four from her head.
And don’t you just know that there have to be aliens in this group. The one on the left with his wild hair, limited vision, and small hands seemed the most suspicious to me.
And for my final proof, I submit this blob we found out on the playa one day. I am pretty sure that it is dedicated to reproduction and world domination.
Here’s a close up for my last photo of the day.

Wandering through Time and Place 
Art and aliens…love it!
There must be a correlation! 🙂 –Curt
and to think here all along I thought it was aliens running the show! Are you sure they’re only just monitoring it? 🙂
You may be right, G. 🙂 –Curt
Well this is a fun post. I love the second flying saucer – the bejewelled one. Beautiful.
Alison
Thanks, Alison. BTW, the bejeweled UFO was built by young people in Oakland. –Curt
Great pics. You and Peggy are rather sedately dressed for the occasion.
Admittedly… 🙂
On a day to day life, they blend amongst us. And then when they have an opportunity like this they show themselves. We laugh about how “alien” they are…but they are the ones truly laughing that we cannot see they are real and that we just think they are pretending…lol
Now, I think I followed that logic, Suan. 🙂 We’d never know at Burning Man. Maybe it’s where aliens come out of the closet! –Curt
they do live amongst us!
If the mission is to boldly go, Curt, you’ve boldly gone and got some far-out fotos …
Boldly go I… always fun to wander around Burning Man with my camera. Far-out photos are easy to come by, Dave. –Curt
wow!!! beyond awesome and stunning… ONLY in America!!! 🙂
We, too, have always thought that aliens were in Silicon Valley. And now we see they’re at Burning Man, too. Love the assemblage of folks in great costumes. And, of course, the size of some of these sculptures. My, my. Burning Man is awesome.
There is a lot of movement back and forth between the Silicon Valley and Burning Man. Maybe you have discovered the reason why, Rusha. 🙂 –Curt
