UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

[demoncore1031]

I remember Kjell Qvale but don't have information about his "flying saucer" UFO observation. If you have a link I'd be glad to connect to it.

The link below is a short bio about him including the erroneous Zodiac Killer accusation.

As far as the Zodiac thing goes, I thought he could possibly have been the "look out man" but that's an entirely different topic. I have that newspaper article somewhere on my website. I'll see if I can locate it.

EDIT: Found it. This was July 1947 in Alameda, CA.

If you have time, give this a read. It mentions the Qvale sighting: https://kirkmcd.princeton.edu/JEMcDonald/bloecher_67.pdf

Many thanks, impressive! People find UFOs are the rage now. Well, here demoncore1031 links Ted Bloecher's work with an introduction by none other than James McDonald on the major influx of reports from 1947. History is worth studying!

Here is a talk by McDonald from 1968:

1947 is where it all started. As far as it becoming a national phenomenon anyways. I believe that different races of aliens have been visiting us for thousands of years. It seems like 1947 is when the "greys" found us and started to visit. We had a ton of sightings in '47, although some were likely hoaxes. And then, of course, the Roswell crash.

Speaking of Roswell, that place is not worth visiting. Pretty boring.

"High Voltage" is Season 7, Episode 7 of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, which aired on June 30, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET on HISTORY.

My take:

If ever there was a show about nothing this comes closest. Tesla Coils sparking, rockets going off, drones. All flash and little to show other than spikes of energy. What the hell happened to the big drill on the Mesa? Oh, it moved or something, come on. Show is sliding into a waste of time.

Oregon’s Eerie Cattle Mystery! | Expedition X | Full Episode |​

Ranchers report dozens of strange cattle death in east Oregon and Expedition X team does a brief on-site investigation. The best part is the last ten minutes when they hear a nighttime odd buzz, the cattle become agitated, and the camera catches a light moving erratically above the site.

It seems like they are out of ideas.

Though tangentially related to UFOs, a 2026 video attempting to debunk the infamous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film:

Capturing Bigfoot​

In March 2026, the documentary film Capturing Bigfoot premiered at the South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson–Gimlin_film#cite_note-272"><span>[</span>272<span>]</span></a> The documentary purports to show the 1967 Patterson–Gimlin film is a hoax orchestrated by the filmmakers. Director Marq Evans discovered a 40-second clip that was allegedly shot in 1966, which purports to show a dress rehearsal of a skinnier Bigfoot walking through a wooded area similar to the location of the 1967 film.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson–Gimlin_film#cite_note-273"><span>[</span>273<span>]</span></a>

Has Bigfoot Finally Been Debunked?

A new documentary, ‘Capturing Bigfoot,’ has sent shockwaves through the Bigfoot community, featuring new evidence challenging the famous Patterson-Gimlin film.

I haven't indulged into the meaty details, but I'll bet the new 40 seconds exposed in "Capturing Bigfoot" will be shown to be overblown misrepresentation of something else.

A 1997 debunk was unconvincing and connects with the 2026 effort: https://www.bfro.net/REF/THEORIES/pgfdebunkings.asp

As the last attempt to debunk back in 2006 didn't kill the beast--Bob Heironimus says he was in the ape suit:



I don't have a iron in this fire but the pro-vs.-anti hoax factions of the film has burned through the internet. I saw a professional costume maker's take on the details which to me were simple and interesting. She stressed the suit was beyond anything available in the 60s and that the footwear part leads to a problem: An actor in a suit would not walk that well unaided and unguided. As the film shows a strongly striding creature not once showing any signs of tripping, or even hesitance, as it disappeared, though living on in Big Foot lore.

Skeptical Inquirer can take to dueling this reviewer's observations of Capturing Bigfoot as not finding the doc. building a strong case in proving the Patterson-Gimlin film a hoax: https://www.northwestbigfoot.com/capturing-bigfoot-2026-documentary-evidence-vs-hype/ Also, this one too is thinking it's a little premature: https://factually.co/fact-checks/science/patterson-gimlin-film-authenticity-1967-to-present-454b4e
