Travis Taylor is not in a GOOD MOOD!
In the everex expanding quest to uncover the truth about UFO encounters, the team from The Secret of Skinwalker Ranches never hesitated to follow the trail of mystery far beyond the borders of their Utah base.
Their latest journey led them into the heart of one of America’s most puzzling and controversial UFO cases. A decades old incident that, while often overshadowed by the infamous Roswell crash, continues to baffle researchers to this day, the Kexsburg crash of 1965.
What began as a straightforward dive into a historical sighting quickly spiraled into a startling chain of revelations, culminating in a jaw-dropping moment that left even seasoned UFO investigators stunned. Dr. Travis Taylor, known for his measured skepticism and scientific rigor, found himself visibly shaken by the evidence they uncovered. A reaction that spoke volumes about the magnitude of what they were dealing with.
The Kexsburg incident unfolded on the cold evening of December 9th, 1965 in the quiet rural community of Kexsburg, Pennsylvania. Without warning, residents across several states and even parts of Canada witnessed a brilliant copper gold fireball tearing through the sky. But unlike a typical meteor, this object seemed to maneuver deliberately, its path curving into what appeared to be a controlled descent. Moments later, it vanished into a wooded ravine on the outskirts of town.
Within hours, the area was swarming with military personnel who cordoned off the crash site, escorted curious onlookers away, and according to multiple witnesses, removed a large metallic acorn-shaped object under a heavy tarp. Official explanations pointed to nothing more than a meteor. But locals never forgot the strange precision of the object’s landing, the overwhelming military presence, and the secrecy that followed.
For the Skinwalker Ranch team, revisiting Kexsburg was more than just a history lesson. It was a chance to apply modern investigative tools to a case long buried in conflicting reports and government denials. What they found there not only reignited decades old questions, but also hinted at disturbing parallels between the events in Kexsburg and the unexplained phenomena still unfolding on the ranch today.
Witnesses described an object unlike anything known to conventional aviation. Acorn-shaped, metallic, and massive enough that it would have required heavy machinery for recovery. Its presence seemed to demand a military response, and according to those who were there, that is exactly what happened.
Within days, the quiet landscape was transformed. Military trucks rumbled in, soldiers set up cordons, and the air was thick with urgency and secrecy. Then, just as suddenly, it was over. The object, whatever it was, was gone, spirited away without a single official photograph or credible public explanation.
The authorities labeled it a meteor, an answer meant to be accepted without question. But the eyewitnesses knew what they saw, and UFO researchers have long argued that the meteor explanation was little more than a smoke screen for something far stranger.
For decades, the story laid dormant, buried beneath layers of speculation, fading newspaper clippings, and contradictory testimonies from those who had been silenced or ignored. Now, more than half a century later, the tools of investigation have evolved far beyond what was imaginable in 1965.
With modern aerial mapping, highresolution ground penetrating radar, and advanced environmental sensors, the opportunity exists to revisit the site in ways the original witnesses could never have dreamed. Seasoned field investigators Andy Bamonte and Paul Bebon believe the time for answers had finally come.
Armed with 21 stone century technology and a determination to cut through decades of myth and misdirection, they set out for the crash site, hoping to uncover whatever traces history, secrecy, and time had failed to erase. They brought in Pete Kelsey, a seasoned veteran of high-tech environmental scanning and a former member of the Skinwalker Ranch investigations team to hunt for any lingering evidence of the longlost impact site.
Kelsey arrived with an arsenal of cuttingedge tools, most notably a handheld LAR light detection and ranging unit equipped with a slam scanner, a device capable of stripping away layers of vegetation in its data and generating crisp, highresolution 3D models of the terrain. This wasn’t just about taking pretty pictures of the forest floor. L technology could see the subtle things, the almost imperceptible shifts in ground contour that might betray the presence of something unnatural, something buried.
It could pick up the faint geometric fingerprints of structures or disturbances long hidden beneath decades of soil, leaf litter, and undergrowth. The suspected impact zone lay deep within a wooded ravine along Chestnut Ridge, a place that had earned its own dark notoriety in UFO lore.
For decades, locals whispered about strange lights skipping along the ridge line, metallic objects hovering in the trees, and craft vanishing into the valleys without a sound. The team pieced together third-hand location coordinates, hazy military era maps, and fragmented witness testimonies, all pointing toward this one overgrown corridor.
Kelsey swept the scanner slowly across the uneven slope, the devices quiet hum mixing with the rustle of leaves. Hours later, as he processed the data, his screen began to resolve a ghostly wireframe of the terrain. That’s when something unexpected emerged from the digital haze.
On a steep incline where nature should have allowed no flat surface, there appeared a perfectly level rectangular shape. The edges were razor sharp, the corners precise right angles, and the surface startlingly even, the kind of geometry nature almost never makes on its own. It looked deliberate, constructed, hidden, and it was waiting.
Kelsey, with her years of civil engineering and precision surveying experience, knew immediately that the geometry revealed by the scans was wrong for this environment. Nature is messy, especially here. Rockfalls, root systems, and erosion carve out randomness over decades. Yet, this this was deliberate.
To the naked eye, standing in the ravine revealed nothing more than a tangle of ferns, moss, and fallen branches scattered over uneven ground. It was the sort of terrain that swallowed secrets whole. But the L data told a different story. It stripped away the camouflage of decades.
Layers of soil, vegetation, and forest debris, exposing something startling. A flat platform-like formation nearly symmetrical. Its edges too clean and straight to be coincidence. Its shape and placement suggested purpose. And in the back of Kelsey’s mind, an unsettling question took root. Could this be the long erased foundation, the very footprint of the mysterious object reported hovering here in 1965?
Intrigued and unwilling to dismiss the possibility, the team decided to go back. This time, they weren’t just going to look, they were going to listen.
Alongside the usual mapping equipment, they brought RF spectrum analyzers, hoping to detect any anomalies in the electromagnetic range. It wasn’t a random choice. Many credible UFO investigations had documented strange RF emissions lingering at alleged landing sites, sometimes decades later.
They navigated back to the precise coordinates flagged by the LAR scan GPS confirming their position. The forest was quiet, the air still. Kelsey set up the tripod mounted analyzer at the exact center point. As the device initialized, a faint hum of electronics filled the silence.
Then the display jumped. Spikes clear, sharp, and unignorable erupted on the graph. One peak at 1.638, another at 1.74 g. Not background noise, not random interference, strong, consistent signals with no apparent local source.
Everyone exchanged looks. This wasn’t supposed to happen in the middle of an isolated ravine, far from cell towers, far from any known transmitters. And yet, here they were, standing on a buried geometric anomaly, bathed in frequencies that shouldn’t exist here at all.
These weren’t just faint background readings lost in the static of environmental RF clutter. They were sharp, pronounced signals, distinct enough to leap out from the usual haze of electromagnetic noise, like a sudden voice cutting through a crowded room.
What made the reading truly bizarre was its hyperloalized nature. The team had barely walked 20 ft from the precise point where the meter had first lit up, and the signal collapsed, gone completely, as if it had never existed. There was no gradual fade, no predictable attenuation curve, no scattering effect from terrain or objects. It was a hard cut off, instantaneous and absolute.
Boosterante frowned, double-checking the frequency sweep. “That’s impossible,” he muttered under his breath. “Radio waves don’t behave like this. Under normal propagation laws, RF energy spreads outward in waves, bouncing off surfaces, defracting around obstacles, and diminishing in strength with distance. Even a directional beam would scatter enough to be detectable outside such a tiny footprint.”
To rule out instrumentation error, they repeated the process with meticulous care. Same gear, same settings, same slow, methodical steps outward from the hot spot. Again, at the LAR site, the signal was solid, steady, and strong. 20 feet away, nothing but baseline background noise.
The result was identical on the third test. Boosteronte’s expression shifted from professional skepticism to a kind of restrained disbelief. “This doesn’t make any sense,” he said, glancing toward the rest of the crew. “How can a radio signal exist in exactly one place and nowhere else? That’s not how radio energy works.”
The only plausible scenario their minds could conjure was deeply unsettling. A transmitter of some kind operating at extremely high focus, positioned either at ground level or buried directly beneath their feet. But even that failed to explain how such precision could be maintained in an open environment as though the signal were anchored to a specific point in space or emerging from somewhere beneath the normal rules of physics.
With such anomalous results, Andy and Paul knew this wasn’t something they could puzzle out alone. They needed the Skinwalker Ranch Brain Trust.
Back in Utah, their data lit up the command center as Dr. Travis Taylor and chief scientist Eric Bard poured over the readouts. The reaction was immediate. Taylor’s eyes locked on the numbers. “This isn’t just a blip,” he said. “We’re talking a 55 dB loss in just 20 ft. That’s not small. That’s orders of magnitude.”
He tapped the screen. “And here’s the kicker. Moving uphill from the ravine should have boosted the signal if the source was far away. Instead, it fell off a cliff.”
The implications were unsettling. The sudden loss suggested the signal wasn’t coming from some distant transmitter. It was either rising from beneath the L site or being delivered by a razor focused beam aimed precisely at that location.
Either we’ve got something active energizing that spot right now, and who knows for how long, or we’re picking up the dying breath of some kind of residual transmission.
Taylor said the idea that a device possibly over 60 years old could still be functioning in place set off a wave of speculation. Was it alien tech, a relic of cold war black projects, or some unknown natural phenomenon no one had cataloged?
One of the more provocative theories was that a fragment of the original object, perhaps a transmitter or beacon, remained buried there, still pulsing decades after whatever event had first put it in the ground. The battery longevity required for such a device would be extraordinary by any known standard, suggesting that if it truly existed, it would either be a technological marvel far beyond our current capabilities or something entirely alien in origin.
Another possibility had been floated among the more cautious minds in the room. Perhaps the RF signal wasn’t a deliberate transmission at all, but rather a strange byproduct of an ongoing physical or geological process, one somehow set in motion by the mysterious events of 1965.
Yet the signal’s sharp, discrete pulses, their unwavering regularity, made this explanation improbable. Natural phenomena rarely speak with such precision.
