No, this post doesn’t include a leaked ‘UFO video,’ but instead includes info about a regional landmark video rental store called UFO Video. UFO Video in Weber City, Virginia became a memorable roadside landmark for movie lovers across Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee during the golden age of VHS and DVD rentals. Founded in the early ’80s along U.S. Highway 23, the independently owned video store stood out thanks to its unforgettable name, giant UFO-themed signage, and its massive selection of movies ranging from new releases and horror films to cult classics and late-night oddities. For many locals, a stop at UFO Video was a weekend ritual, a place where families, teenagers, and movie buffs wandered the aisles searching for the perfect rental before streaming changed everything. Though the store eventually closed, and the building later fell into disrepair, UFO Video remains a nostalgic piece of Appalachian pop culture that longtime residents still remember fondly.
