Anyone watch this yet? The creator,, James Fox, was on Rogan this week talking about it. I only listened to a couple short clips, but it's intriguing. A story I'd never heard before.
UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"
- Thread starter StClone
- Start date
Yes, thanks!
James Fox does a very thorough investigation and forges through forces which seems to keep this out of common awareness. I have seen this video several times.
There are other less complete productions on the topic, also. Is it interesting? Yes? Is it believable? You decide. I am into this topic not because I like aliens, or want to frighten myself or others, but just want to know.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch
S4 E3
The Blob
After discovering new evidence of massive metallic objects buried beneath the Mesa, the team conducts an experiment at the Triangle that leads to one of the most shocking revelations ever seen on Skinwalker Ranch.
Four topics in S4 E3: Ground Penetrating Radar used on the Triangle and Mesa, three rockets fired while a high-speed camera ran in Triangle, high-speed imaging captures a "blob," and a dark mysterious helicopter buzzes the team during the experiment.
Ground Penetrating Radar GPR specialist, expert, and world-renowned Jan Frank (so preeminent you may not find him on the internet - I didn't) came aboard.
Frank develops and constructs his own GPR hardware and software. At the Triangle (and later at the Mesa) he set up and turned on the detectors--but before he turned on the radar signals, extemporaneous interference overwhelmed the sensors making all but 10% of GPR data returns collected usable. Unexpected failure and unusual interruptions are common on SSR, as experts in various scientific backgrounds will attest. Frank assembled that 10% as best he could and found 3 underground anomalies amid the "checkered" data output.
In a second run, a handheld GPR unit carried over the rocky rough and tumble Mesa by Thomas Winterton successfully captured information. Data showed a 6 by 40-meter columnar anomaly inside the Mesa.
Part two had high-speed camera specialist Burdette Anderson set up a 1000 image/sec. camera as dusk arrived (to capture UAPs). High-speed camera use was hoped to overcome the rapid movement and disappearance of UAP to get as much information as possible during three rocket shots.
Rocket 1: Its path seemed to divert from the expected line.
Rocket 2: Two was successfully launched. It may have induced the brightest, long-lived UAP, close by, ever recorded on SSR as it maneuvered over the group.
Rocket 3: Missile exploded 30 feet into flight and fell close by starting a small fire. Examination of the rocket showed the motor blew out. These are absolutely reliable and very safe solid-fuel rocket motors. They are designed to have a sturdy motor encasement and be especially reliable and secure. So, This is a very unlikely failure.
Here is an interesting high-five moment for the cast. In the high-speed image playback of #3, a diffuse blob above the rocket seemed to initiate the destruction of the rocket motor as they came in contact. Burdette Anderson and the cast seemed to be fully convinced the "blob" of light was a coherent body credited as being the "anomaly."
As the experiment was winding down in the late evening a darkened helicopter flew in low over the ranch and circled for almost seven minutes. With no corresponder detected and no identification, who sent this chopper? The Military? Odd indeed.
Next week the boys commence excavating in the Mesa area with a large crane.

Watch free while you can https://www.crackle.com/watch/18e4fbbc-c932-456c-9128-c8877cc04fe5/moment-of-contact
Moment of Contact is a great investigative production by Fox of an extraordinarily bizarre account of a crashed alien craft in 1996 Brazil. Is it convincing? A lot of people have to be hoaxing, faking, acting, paid off, or mistaken. It is beyond a reasonable doubt in my estimation unless you can sell the idea Fox himself enjoyed spinning his version of the "Night Gallery" with this production.
What struck me within the story is the description of the aliens. This is where things get off the usual script for what the "little green (gray) men" are supposed to look like.
There is a distinctly different alien type in another video in one of the most inexplicable and convincing cases I have seen. And, as far as I can tell it drove skeptics and debunkers crazy. They went far out of their way to flood the internet, at the time of the release of the video from 2007 Fresno, with "walking pants" fakes and other goofy videos to distract and spoof the original. Because it was too hard to discredit the original through other means.
This is a very different E.T. and this is to point out I think there must be many! You have to watch closely and repeat the video below to see the two different creatures (leader and his aide?) legs, cape, and eye movement in the pixilated video capture.
Though there is no way to ever authenticate it, which yes is a major problem; it has never been convincingly shot down either. In my mind it is a pretty good case of an alien caught on video:

Here is a debunker Captain Disillusion video:
He shows how the Fresno video's likely path to the public does have room for hoaxing. However, I have never seen a debunker put together anything like the two figures in the Nightcrawler capture.
His walking watermelon gimmick in his video is a simple cropped video overlay. Even in the very bad original Fresno video, the actions of the two figures are amazingly animated and weirdly real in action. They definitely are not human, and if they are puppets or CGI (which was available in 2007) they were exceptionally thought-out and well done.
Lastly, for some reason, there is a fixation with the second caped figure. In videos that are now gone off the internet (and of better quality) equal time is given to critically analyze both figures and the two together leave a reinforcing impact.

Again, I have yet to see a production reproducing the beings in the Fresno video. The best place to view the broadcasted "original" video is on the old Fact or Faked program available only on pay-for-view ( https://www.youtube.com/show/SC7TEOOxTv0BcD4ZxHk7gnQg?sbp=GhoKGFVDX2Y0SUlMMVp3bVpOb3VOYWJFclFjQQ%3D%3D go to #2). It is also on Amazon Prime.
Aliens of this type are actually reported around the world and are considered insectoid, though these don't strike me as insectlike. To me just odd, slight, two-legged beings. Occasionally these beings have two, small insect-like antennae! The caped alien is also reported in cases.
In viewing The Fact of Faked episode focus on the actual shape of the aliens: the skinny, almost stick-like overall, the head is elongated, with odd dark, bubble eyes under a brow, legs are short for the body, and very slender but cast an evident shadow. They really do not resemble the many CGI, exaggerated walking pants copycat fakes which are far from Fresno's real alien body shape.
A follow-up years later on the family is a recommended 2-part read as it shows there is more to this strange story: https://paranormalitymag.com/the-untold-story-of-the-fresno-nightcrawlers-part-1/

The Watchers
May 09, 2023
The team turns their focus back to the Mesa and almost immediately gets more evidence of something buried deep within it. And Brandon returns to the ranch with Utah’s Attorney General who is eager to find out who is monitoring the ranch.
It is a potentially pivotal episode where two big takeaways are the semblance of Military surveillance and the appearance of several specific things which seem to be related to UAPs appearing.
Will a big dig reveal anything as a huge crane is brought in to remove multi-ton boulders? Well, the crane electronics went down as the 160 gigahertz energy kicked in and then dissipated, so digging then resumed. Digging ended for good after a few boulders were removed and the instability of the Mesa's rockface was deemed dangerously unstable.
On to the next effort, but before we do a review of the dark helicopter buzzing around the ranch at the end of episode 3 is in order. In video replay, Cameron Fugal IDed it as a military Blackhawk by its unique sound. Utah Attorney General Sean Reaves was on hand during the "Chopper intruder" replay and will dig into the matter and report later.
Fugal's helicopter was then flown over the Triangle area dropping GPS balls and their path downward was captured by high-speed imaging. A dozen or so balls dropped as the chopper was once again hit by unexpected wind gusts. This experiment was aborted with several specific occurrences: on the ground, Thomas Winterton was hit by head and neck pain and left the ranch, the copter GPS and other electronics went out, and these all coincided with a 160 Gigahertz radiation spike.
Here again, the highspeed camera captured a small foreshortened dumbell-shaped UAP following the helicopter as the GPS balls were dropped. I am beginning to see these small UAPs are self-guided AI crafts left on-site by whomever or remotely controlled devices to interfere with the Skinwalker crew's work. I conclude this by seeing that these UAPs appear to be monitoring and then focus close in on experiments.
Truly interesting and having an Earthly explanation was Attn, Gen's follow-up on the Blackhawk helicopter. Its path came from a military base in Salt Lake City. When the military was pressed for further information, beyond the time and path, the SSR team was told it was protected intelligence.
Will see what next week's show offers.

Here's the Drill
As the team begins drilling in search of a metal object buried in the Mesa, they also perform a new experiment at the Triangle that causes startling UFOs to appear on Skinwalker Ranch.
There were preparations for drilling into the Mesa, but that seems to be on track for next week. The team shot rockets again and mortars (big fireworks) into the Triangle anomaly. A quick recap: several unexplained failures of rockets, and the occurrence of a bluish-purple flashing light low South of the Mesa several times. A small UAP was visible only on the night vision scope. The only other note was a local recounting seeing a skinwalker cat-man and observing blue orbs which made the local feel ill for a few hours.
Can someone fill me in? I haven't watched one episode of Skinwalker Ranch because, frankly, i have so many programs DVR'd on Tuesday that I don't have room for another one. But I've seen clips and each one leaves me more confused than the last. What exactly are they hoping to find/prove/disprove on this ranch.

Hard to say what they think it may be. I think they believe an anomaly exists above the ranch. They claim to have video evidence of their rocket striking a cloaked object in the sky while trying to take different readings based on radio waves they triangulated over the ranch in previous episodes.
It's like the Curse of Oak Island where each week they do stuff and make assumptions but in the end nothing is ever revealed.
A lot of supposed weird occurrences of cattle mutilations, UFOs, orbs, gigahertz radiation beams, wolfmen (skinwalkers), "portals," and repeated malfunctions of any type of otherwise functioning equipment on The Ranch.
It is an open-ended investigation using anything and everything imaginable to stimulate a response and then studied the results to focus future "experiments."
What they trying to find or prove we don't know and likely will never know. It's fun to see rockets explode, UAPs appear, and people run from the ranch in agony when "attacked" by unknown forces. It is on TV and somebody has to watch it.
Whole show is crap, but entertaining to a point. Whenever Dragon or Eric speak I shut down, dudes are true clowns.
I wouldn't go that far. There are some really odd things observed in this area and so far the source, or even how to investigate it, has not been determined.
Take the UAPs recorded. I am pretty sure they are not fake. They are not misidentifications. They are not hoaxes. So what are they?
Bumbling around may seem like crap to watch ascertaining what they are dealing with. This may be the trap of the entire UFO phenomenon; regardless of the evidence, those investigating it are seen as idiots, fools, tools, dreamers, or deluded.
They aren't all and we have to deal with this mystery and not let the personalities of the investigators sidetrack the seriousness.

What a Mesa
While drilling into the Mesa on Skinwalker Ranch, the team finds little new though it leads to conjecturing.
Using directional drilling into the apparent mass under The Mesa it becomes apparent something very hard is deflecting the drill head. Withdrawing the drill bit it is shown to be intact and still sharp contrary to what one expects if impacting on a hardened surface.
In my mind, the only way this could occur is if the drill was held off by energy rather than an actual structure. Travis conjectured exactly that!
Elsewhere on the south part of The Ranch dead deer remnants were examined and the cause of death could not be determined. Nearby to the deer bones was a wooden fence post with a fairly fresh semi-circular burned cut which has odd. Not much content and the next show seems more of the same. More then.
