UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

According to American legal commentator and television journalist Nancy Grace:

There are 17 Scientists dead or missing.

Nancy Grace, a stern-faced sensationalist, pushes up the body count, damn aliens?!

I just happened to check out the ranch on Google Earth, which I do occasionally to see if anything different pops up. The latest satellite imagery is from 5/13/2026 and shows construction taking place on top of the mesa, north of the ranch property. (40° 15' 35.43" N, 109° 53' 54.25" W)

The construction is approximately 500' due north of where the bore holes emerge on top of the mesa. It appears that an oil well drilling operation may be setting up, as there are tanks lined up for installation. If that is the case, it could be very interesting if someone else starts drilling into the mesa!

So Prez Trump says Extraterrestrial are real. Ross Coulthart follows up on that as I caution that distractions are also real.

Interesting Vid:

 
Interesting preview?



The excavation should reveal something in the next series of episodes of Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (SSWR). We know there are oddities in The Mesa, and to dismiss this as "just TV" is shortsighted.

Rockets as a baseline for comparison: Rocket launches are repeatable science. Igniting reliable rocket propellant and directing fin-guided tubes vertically achieves a 99% success rate elsewhere, yet on SSWR the failure rate is closer to 35% across multiple attempts. What explains that discrepancy? Could government interference be involved?

Drone malfunctions: Light drone shows offer visual interest but shift from reliable performance to even higher failure rates than rockets. What could cause such degradation?

Biological effects: Radiation and energy spikes are documented in the area. Calves grazing in the triangle/energy zone have gone blind, become sickly, and appear to suffer from directed energy exposure. While the U.S. military possesses this capability, the question remains: why would it be deployed here?

Unexplained phenomena: Orbs, UAPs, and unexplained hot and cold spots appear intermittently while researchers experience recurring interference. This suggests something beyond entertainment is occurring. The hope is that researchers will eventually uncover what's actually happening and help us understand it.
 
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>


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.

 
I bought "Trinity The Best-Kept Secret" (Sept 2021 edition) and was very disappointed in it. I agree, something did happen there. Padilla says that his cousin built a dam on the site to create a pond for cattle watering.

However, it's an odd place for a pond since there is very little drainage area above it. There are better drainage areas downstream not that far away. The old road that went through the site was relocated and improved, yet it only goes to a ranch facility that isn't much, just some corrals. It only provides access to other areas out in desolate ranch areas. The relocation wasn't necessary.

There were many, many errors and discrepancies. The metal object "the treasure" turned out to be a part of an Aermotor windmill, part #A585, Windmill tailbone casting. See footnote #28 in the book. Reading the book did not give me a good impression of Paola Harris nor Jacques Vallee for being associated with the book.

Here is a video of Paola Harris' presentation at a 2013 MUFON Symposium. At the 48 minute mark begins a clip of a visit to the "crash site" with Jose Padilla. None of the presentation or clip is very impressive.



I am more inclined to have misgivings about the "Trinity" case. Yet, the way critics (mostly Douglas Dean Johnson)
are still swinging the axe to chop it down leads me to question whether there is more to it. Is it all a hoax? Here's a follow up of not too long ago where Vallee et. al. gave up responding because of the rabidity:


Johnson is not a bad substack independent journalist but he has as much to gain by trumpeting his claims as anyone else to gain readership and followers.
