An individual who would like to remain anonymous reportedly found around 70 piles of cremated human remains near Searchlight. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has opened an investigation into how exactly the ashes came to be carelessly discarded in this manner.
As first reported by KLAS, an official from the Bureau stated that they’re actively investigating the matter but did not have any updates as of Aug. 25.
It’s unclear where the cremains came from and whether they were disposed of intentionally or accidentally. KLAS notes that the anonymous individual who initially found the piles reported their findings a few weeks ago, although the discovery has only recently become public knowledge.

It is described as an “extraterrestrial-themed souvenir shop meets truck stop meets roadside diner.” It’s green, it’s weird, it’s fun, we love it. The Area 51 Alien Center is on US 95 in Amargosa Valley between Beatty and Las Vegas.
