Fire guts UFO center in SC that was featured on Comedy Central 'Daily Show'

Fire destroyed a 30-year-old, out-of-this-world attraction in Bowman, South Carolina: the UFO Welcome Center.

Pendarvis thought the fire didn’t look too bad initially, but it didn’t take long for it to destroy the site. “It was shocking,” Rhett said. “It was shocking because that was a staple for visitors who came in. If they were traveling 26, 95, they would always come by and say, ‘Let’s see the UFO.’”“I used to pay a dollar and fifty cents to go in the UFO and look around,” he said.

“I figured I could drive it down the street one day as a Christmas float and there it was, popping up, the UFO. Boop! Who knew it was going to be a UFO? I didn’t,” he said.“People came,” he said. “They said, ‘It ain’t got no good footing, you got electrical wires all over the place, you got paint cans laying around the ground, you’ve got holes in the floor that people could fall through,’” he said.“They didn’t want anybody getting hurt in there and be sued – them suing me and the town of Bowman,” he said.
