A joke about building a UFO Watchtower became an unexpected second chapter for a Colorado landowner.
Judy Messoline tells TruthSeekah how she moved from raising cattle to welcoming skywatchers and their stories.

Messoline recalls arriving in the San Luis Valley in 1995 with plans for a cattle operation. As the practical difficulties grew, she heard local UFO stories and joked about creating a place to watch for them. After selling the herd, she says encouragement from a neighbor helped turn the idea into a real project while allowing her to keep the land.

She describes a dome building with a raised viewing platform and an open view across the valley. The attraction opened in 2000, according to her account. By the time of this interview, she had accumulated personal experiences and many visitor reports. Those stories became part of the identity of the place, alongside camping, conversation, and the work of keeping it operating.

The human response matters as much as the sky in this discussion. Messoline explains that people who fear ridicule can find someone willing to listen. TruthSeekah recognizes that purpose in his own podcast, where unusual experiences often lead to broader questions about faith, creativity, and belonging. Listening respectfully does not require deciding in advance what caused a reported event.

Media coverage is another part of the story. Messoline discusses how interviews and documentaries brought interest to the property and how respectful treatment differed from the teasing she encountered early on. She also talks about the practical support supplied by visitors and the gift shop. Prices and offers mentioned in the full recording are historical, not current visitor information.

Follow We Are NOT Alone for conversations about the people and communities around UFO narratives. This episode preserves Messoline's account of an unconventional project and the relationships it created. Her extraordinary interpretations remain personal claims, while the broader story asks what can happen when a place makes room for curiosity, hospitality, and experiences that people find difficult to discuss.
