Show Synopsis
There have been no alien sightings in Rachel, Nevada for two whole years. This means trouble for 50 townspeople that live or die by Area 51 tourism. When the Coates family moves to Rachel, they are enlisted by the town kids to help stage an alien sighting to save their new home. Little do they know that the actual aliens of Area 51 have been watching the town too, and they have a plan of their own.
