BRAMWELL — An intergalactic visitor reported missing from the Hatfield-McCoy Trail in Mercer County has been found.
An eight-foot tall metal alien, who was placed along the ATV trail system in Mercer County as a fun distraction for riders, later disappeared from the trail, a development that baffled officials as they searched for the green visitor.
