A seat for spacefolk?
With any luck, an extraterrestrial takeover of Earth is a problem for distant future generations to worry about. But should we ever welcome new alien overlords, expect their edicts to issue from this regal feature. The hoodoo dubbed the Alien Throne cuts an eerie figure against a Southwestern sunset, towering over remote New Mexican badlands crowded with other natural yet freakish formations. Though often associated with the nearby Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, the Throne actually lies within another field of bizarre landforms: the Valley of Dreams.
