They said they came in peace...
But did they?
Join us for a mysterious morning along the Long Beach shoreline as we run from the Alien Invasion. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or simply hoping to avoid becoming the main course, this is one race experience you won't want to miss.
Sometimes the movies and television shows we watched decades ago feel eerily familiar. Ideas that once seemed impossible now appear in headlines, social media feeds, and conversations around the world.
