## Caption

Thousands of extraterrestrial enthusiasts descended upon downtown McMinnville Saturday for the annual McMenamins UFO Festival.

People filled the sidewalks for the midday parade down 3rd Street, featuring alien-influenced costumes galore, marching bands, storm troopers and so much more. This year marked the 24th edition of the UFO Festival, which commemorates the report of a UFO sighting by local farmer Paul Trent in 1950.
