👽🐾 Exploring Coyote’s Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs - A UFO Junkyard in the California Desert

Simba the Adventure Pup 🐾 and I rolled into one of the strangest, funniest, and most unforgettable roadside stops in Southern California — Coyote’s Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs in Ocotillo. This wild desert junkyard looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, filled with life-size flying saucers, alien-themed vehicles, and a chaotic mix of scrap, art, and imagination. 🚀🌵

Set against the harsh, wide-open desert backdrop, this place feels completely unreal. It’s part art installation, part scrapyard, and part tongue-in-cheek UFO repair shop — and it absolutely embraces its weirdness. Every direction you look reveals something unexpected, bizarre, or strangely hilarious.

Coyote’s Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs is the perfect example of the Mojave Desert’s offbeat creative spirit. It blends humor, imagination, junkyard engineering, and UFO lore into one unforgettable roadside experience. Nothing here takes itself too seriously — and that’s exactly what makes it so fun.

The desert silence, paired with rows of metal saucers and alien figures, creates a strange contrast that feels eerie, playful, and oddly captivating all at once. It’s the kind of place you don’t just pass through — you explore it, photograph it, laugh at it, and leave wondering how someone even dreamed it up.
