Wycliffe Well was once considered the most likely place to encounter an Alien or UFO in Australia, but the roadside stop now resembles a ghost town.

Along the 3,000 kilometre highway that connects the northern and southern tip of Australia sits a site once deemed the nation's UFO capital.

He claims the previous owner kept these sightings secret to ensure prospective buyers didn't get spooked. "There were lights flashing around the sky doing crazy manoeuvres that you just couldn't explain," he said.After decades of running Wycliffe Well, Mr Farkas sold his business to Anthony 'Arc' Vanderzalm in 2010."It was so different to anything that I'd really been experiencing before, being in the middle of the NT and the desert," Mr Vanderzalm said.But after years working long days, he too opted to sell, this time to petrol station franchise United Petroleum.
