But the marker is now one of at least 15 that say, without hesitation, that aliens have come to visit Earth.

They join more than 180,000 other historical markers dotting the country’s landscape, and NPR found they wouldn’t be the first to claim something that may, or may not, be true.

There’s a marker in Massachusetts that claims the town was once home to a real, live wizard. New York has a marker about a ghost that plays the fiddle on a bridge in the moonlight.

Edit: I can only think that the downvoters either believe the aliens are among us or that they don’t understand the very obvious tongue-in-cheek nature of the article despite the whole “real, live wizard” part I pasted above.

      I’m not policing it. I’m saying it’s wrong. I can do that and I did do that. If you think that’s policing, I don’t have any idea what to tell you.

        Okay, well enjoy experiencing people constantly getting it wrong because there’s likely nothing you’ll ever be able to do about it.

        Personally, I’m not a fan of the way most people use “infamous,” but I’ve come to accept it.
