Ancient Aliens Live in Nashville, IN

/ Roadtirementvintage / 10 Comments

Ancient Aliens Live had a live show in Indiana. It was a fantastic experience. It was held at the Brown County Music Hall, in downtown Nashville, Indiana.

Under the screen you can see chairs.

We’d been watching Ancient Aliens by the History Channel on YouTube. We really like watching the show and we’re so excited to see that the live show would be close to us. Fortunately we got tickets.

Ancient Aliens Live is an experiential extension of the history channel show. It explores the theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for thousands of years.

It was so interesting and these experts have so much knowledge! We totally loved it.

The show featured leading Ancient Astronaut theorist Georgie A. Tamales, investigating mythologist William Henry, UK government UFO investigator Nick Pope, and ancient civilizations expert Jason Martell. They made it a fun experience.

Waiting for show to begin

If they are near you, we highly recommend this.

Rain and wind

With all the bad weather I thought we should check in and say we’re ok. Indiana had several tornado warnings, including Shelby County. We got lots of rain and wind.

Below is a short video I took out our front door. You can hear the tornado warning siren.

I was only out for a few seconds, then we headed for our safe place in our home.

Be safe!
