Presidio

Presidio, inhabited since 1500 B.C. and officially established in 1683 A.D., stands just across the U.S.-Mexico border from Ojinaga, Mexico. Located in sparsely populated West Texas, Presidio is known for its dark skies. That means that the stars at night really are big and bright and not blotted out by light pollution.

If you’re a paranormal investigator, Presidio is the town for you. The town is a bevy of unexplained phenomena. In 1974, there were reports of a crashed flying saucer just outside the city limits.
