Since COVID-19 virtually put air travel almost to a grinding halt, something had to be done with all the currently unneeded planes.
A former air base in New Mexico is at least one place where the planes are being stored. All those planes in one spot just may attract the attention of aliens and push them into making a return visit.
According to Stars and Stripes:
ROSWELL, N.M. — The downturn in the commercial air travel industry has turned into a boon for a former military base in New Mexico.
The Roswell International Air Center has emerged as a major storage facility for planes that have been grounded by airlines due to age and lack of demand. The air center was storing about 160 aircraft before March. As of last week, another 309 planes had arrived from carriers including American Airlines, United Airlines and Frontier Airlines.
There are more grounded planes in Roswell now than at any point during the modern history of the former base, surpassing even the number of aircraft stored there in the days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
