Travis Taylor: “Did we just see a UFO?” Beyond Skinwalker Ranch

On Skinwalker Ranch, phenomena are displaying highly abnormal behavior, inciting panic. A discovery too horrifying to articulate prompts an urgent evacuation. Dr. Travis Taylor has unearthed a secret in this hotbed of paranormal activity, sparking speculation about incontrovertible proof of otherworldly beings or a phenomenon defying all scientific explanation. Prepare to plunge into the heart of this mystery, bracing yourself for revelations that could shatter our preconceptions about the unknown.

The crew at Skinwalker Ranch was brimming with anticipation for what they dubbed their most significant experiment yet. Picture this: a group of eager individuals, including precision rocket experts and the new salt laser squad, converging to launch rockets and unleash lasers into the sky. Why, you may wonder? They had observed peculiar occurrences, with laser beams bending and veering midair as if encountering an invisible barrier.

Their ambitious plan involved deploying larger rockets, more potent lasers, and even dispersing powder to generate clouds, enhancing the visibility of these laser phenomena. Their objective: to uncover or provoke something truly extraordinary above the ranch, particularly in a specific area of the sky that had yielded anomalous readings in the past. Setting up an elaborate array of multi-100-watt laser space cannons, reminiscent of a scene from a sci-fi epic, they aimed these devices to converge precisely on the mysterious focal point in the sky. Meanwhile, they monitored the region with a laser back at their base, vigilant for any distortions or aberrations in the beams that could signify anomalies.

“Travis, do you copy?”
“Yeah, go ahead. If Brandon’s nearby, can you bring him in quick?”
“We’ll be right there. What’s going on, Eric?”

As the countdown reached zero, a massive rocket poised at the launchpad, ready to pierce the veil of the heavens, the moment of truth had arrived. But fate had a cruel twist in store. Just as the rocket ignited its engines, a deafening roar filled the air, followed by a blinding flash of light. In an instant, the rocket exploded in a spectacular display of destruction, sending debris and flames shooting in all directions. The launchpad was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and dust, leaving onlookers stunned and disheartened.

They had come too far to let a single mishap derail their mission. “We’re good to go. Ready to clear the launch.” With unwavering determination, they resolved to press onward, fueled by the belief that failure is not an option.

With renewed focus, they turned their attention to the remaining rockets, determined to succeed where the first had faltered. They meticulously inspected each component, double-checking every connection and ensuring that every system was functioning at optimal levels. Hours turned into days as the team worked tirelessly, fueled by adrenaline and a shared sense of purpose.

“We can launch into the area above the triangle to continue the experiment,” they planned. They faced countless challenges along the way but refused to give up. With each obstacle they overcame, their resolve grew stronger. Finally, the day of the relaunch arrived. As the clock ticked down, the team held their breath, eyes fixed on the rocket. With a thunderous roar, the engines ignited, and the rocket slowly lifted off the launchpad. The mission had been a success, a testament to the resilience and determination of the team.

The setback had not broken them—it had only made them stronger. They had learned from their mistakes and emerged with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence. The successful launch marked a new chapter in their journey, filled with promise and endless possibilities.

And just when they managed to get another rocket up, it took a sudden turn away from the area they were focused on, as if being pushed by some unseen force. “Two-oh-one, there it goes. Talk about weird, right?” But hold on—it gets weirder. Right after that rocket goes off course, they spot something on their cameras: a fast-moving object appearing right where their lasers were pointing. This object wasn’t behaving like any satellite or plane. It moved too fast and then vanished into thin air. Some even theorized it might have come from a portal, based on how it appeared and disappeared.

What started as a high-tech rocket and laser show had turned into a full-blown UFO sighting, complete with mysterious flying objects. The crew was left scratching their heads in disbelief, wondering if they had just witnessed a portal opening—or if their equipment had somehow attracted this UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) to them.

This experiment wasn’t just any ordinary scientific endeavor. It was poised to be the most significant and complex ever attempted at the ranch. The team, consisting of experts from Lock Precision and New Salt Laser, brought together an array of sophisticated technology: high-powered rockets, lasers, and sensors—all designed to probe the enigmatic phenomenon known as The Triangle, a zone reputed for unusual energy readings and unexplained occurrences.

The experiment aimed to launch rockets equipped with sensors and payloads through a specific area in the sky, where previous observations had noted peculiar behavior in laser beams. Instead of traveling straight, these beams appeared to bend and twist, suggesting the presence of an unusual atmospheric condition—or perhaps something even more inexplicable.

To enhance visibility and data collection, the team planned to release powders into the air, creating clouds that would interact with the laser beams, providing a clearer picture of the phenomena at play. The centerpiece of the night was to be the launch of the largest rockets and the deployment of the most powerful lasers the team had ever used. Their goal was to stimulate and capture evidence of the mysterious anomaly believed to reside within the triangle—a mile-high zone above the ranch known for causing interference with electronic devices and deflecting light, linked to unusual signals previously detected on the ranch.

However, the experiment took an unexpected turn. The main rocket, designed to reach into the heart of the triangle and gather crucial data, exploded in a dramatic fireball shortly after takeoff, never leaving the launchpad. This setback dealt a significant blow to the team, who had counted on the rocket sensors to provide key insights into the anomaly.

Undeterred, and with backup rockets at their disposal, the team pressed on. They launched another rocket, which, in a baffling turn of events, veered dramatically off course at around 2,000 to 3,000 feet, right at the edge of the triangle. “4, 3, 2, 1… oh, we got a malfunction. Everybody watch out!” The rocket’s unexpected trajectory, seemingly influenced by an invisible force, left the team pondering unseen atmospheric conditions—or perhaps something more mysterious.

Amidst this confusion, the team observed a UAP maneuvering in the sky above the ranch. Captured on camera, the object appeared to emerge near the ground and move at incredible speeds, too fast for conventional aircraft, without any visible means of propulsion. It moved through the area where the lasers and the broadcast signal converged, then vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared.

This sighting sparked a flurry of speculation. Could this UAP be related to the anomaly they were investigating? Whether the object was a natural atmospheric phenomenon, a technological artifact, or something entirely unknown, its sudden appearance and disappearance suggested it might be linked to the stories of portals and other dimensions long associated with Skinwalker Ranch.

While the rocket’s failure was a setback, the sighting of the UAP provided a tantalizing glimpse into the mysteries of Skinwalker Ranch. It reinforced the team’s determination to continue their investigations, exploring the possibility of otherworldly portals and phenomena beyond our current understanding.

The experiment, though not without challenges, marked another chapter in the ongoing quest to unravel the secrets of Skinwalker Ranch, a place where the line between science and the supernatural seems to blur, potentially revealing features invisible to the naked eye.

Pete Kelsey, a technologist, returned to conduct a high-tech 3D scan using drone photogrammetry at the ranch, capturing thousands of high-definition photos to create a detailed three-dimensional map. This map aimed to uncover any anomalies by modeling every part of the ranch. Photogrammetry allows for the detection of features not visible to the naked eye, and the team hoped it would shed light on unexplained phenomena and other documented occurrences at the ranch.

After collecting the data, Pete handed it over to Eric, who spent hours scrutinizing the visual information for anything noteworthy. They discovered a billion data points from Pete’s survey, revealing a 3D model composed of individual points derived from a complex algorithm. This model highlighted some intriguing artifacts, including a phantom structure seemingly protruding over 100 feet into the sky.

Uncertain of the cause, they reached out to the software vendor and learned that such anomalies were uncommon in terrestrial surveys. Further investigation revealed more artifacts aligning with a large center stone in a stone circle, suggesting a potential connection. The team contemplated whether these anomalies could indicate the existence of portals on the ranch, possibly explaining the sudden appearances and disappearances of unexplained aerial phenomena.

Determined to follow up on every significant data anomaly, they planned to review the findings with Brandon and the investigation team, including former Governor Herbert and investigative journalist George Knapp. This year was marked as the most productive in the history of investigations at the ranch, with the team gaining formal recognition and elevation.

Pete presented the 3D model, highlighting a solid-looking structure in the sky—an object of great interest that remained unexplained. The team concluded that a multi-disciplinary approach was essential to uncover the ranch’s secrets, acknowledging that they were dealing with phenomena that could redefine reality and history.

As they prepared for the next phase of investigation, they recognized the importance of careful, precise exploration to avoid compromising the documented information. The phenomena encountered had shifted their perspective on what was possible, fueling their determination to understand the ranch’s mysteries.

For over a century, bizarre sightings and events have been reported in this area, known as Skinwalker Ranch. The team aimed to uncover the truth behind these occurrences, which have baffled both experts and locals alike.

One evening, as they approached the ranch, a strange object appeared in the sky, immediately grabbing their attention. This incident marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters. In the following week, a young, healthy cow was found dead under mysterious circumstances. There were no tracks or signs of a struggle, and the cow had been alive and well that morning. This event was particularly disturbing because the cow’s death coincided with technical malfunctions experienced by the team: phones started behaving erratically, flipping between settings without explanation, and a dangerous spike in radiation was detected.

The team consulted with Linda Moulton Howe and reviewed surveillance footage of the cow’s death. Shockingly, a black object appeared above the cow at the time of its demise, suggesting a possible link between the cow’s sudden death and the presence of an unidentified craft.

Fueled by these incidents, Dr. Taylor’s team launched a rocket equipped with scanning devices to provoke further activity. Astonishingly, they detected a 1.6 GHz RF radiation signal accompanied by an unusual audio signal, suggesting an attempt at communication from an unknown source. The team’s efforts to collect more data were continually thwarted by unexplained technical failures: devices shut down, and rockets failed to launch properly. Despite these setbacks, they captured footage of a UAP that seemed to interact with their equipment. This evidence supported the theory that something—or someone—was deliberately preventing them from gathering data.

The team invited astronomers to observe the skies over the ranch using high-power telescopes. However, like previous attempts, the equipment malfunctioned when directed at specific areas of interest, particularly a zone known as The Triangle. The team observed unusual behavior in the ranch’s cattle and detected the same 1.6 GHz signal that had become a hallmark of their encounters. This culminated in the sighting of a large spherical UAP, the clearest and most significant observation to date.

One experiment, involving ancient prayers intended to open portals, yielded astounding results. Thermal imaging revealed dramatic temperature changes and the appearance of a circular vortex, suggesting the presence of an unseen force or entity.

Dr. Travis Taylor, with his extensive background as an astrophysicist, aerospace engineer, and optical scientist, has spent over three decades working with NASA and the Department of Defense. Driven by a deep curiosity about the mysteries of the universe, he became heavily involved in exploring unknown phenomena, particularly at Skinwalker Ranch.

When the U.S. government officially acknowledged the existence of UAPs in 2021, this acknowledgment sparked widespread demand for answers among the media, the public, and Congress. Entering their third year of investigation, Dr. Taylor and his team are determined to uncover the truth behind the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch. Their strategy includes deploying GPS trackers from a helicopter over areas where anomalous energy and UAP sightings have been detected. They hope that the data collected by these trackers will help pinpoint the source of these anomalies.

Despite their high hopes, the team encountered numerous challenges, including equipment failures and discrepancies in GPS data that seemed to defy explanation. For instance, while attempting to drop GPS trackers over a specific triangular area, they found that their coordinates suddenly shifted, as if an unseen force had pushed them off course. Even more baffling, the GPS units stopped transmitting data, suggesting some form of interference or signal jamming.

Despite these obstacles, the team continued their experiment, aiming to collect any data possible from the trackers. Upon retrieving the dropped payloads, they noticed the items had landed far from their intended target, seemingly moved by an invisible force against the wind. This anomaly added to the mystery, hinting at an unseen influence at play.

Analyzing the GPS data revealed even more peculiar findings. The data suggested impossible movements, such as the helicopter entering and exiting a mesa (a flat-topped hill with steep sides) and discrepancies between two sets of GPS data that should have been identical. At one point, the data showed the payloads moving upwind, further complicating the team’s understanding of events.

These findings led to speculation about the nature of the phenomena above Skinwalker Ranch. Theories ranged from portals or wormholes to massive energy sources or gravitational fields. Although skeptical of far-fetched explanations, Dr. Taylor could not deny the presence of something anomalous. The experiment suggested an altitude-specific phenomenon affecting GPS technology, aligning with previous strange energy readings and reinforcing the mystery surrounding the ranch.

“There’s something anomalous right there above the mesa, over the triangle,” one researcher noted. An intriguing operation unfolded at the ranch, known for unusual energy spikes. The team decided to drop GPS units by air into a zone notorious for these anomalies, only to find their equipment mysteriously reflected by an unseen force.

In response, they launched rockets into the area, aiming to trigger and study these strange aerial phenomena further. For this experiment, a group from UAP consisting of Jason Turner, Gary Vorhees, and Jeremy McGan was invited to the ranch. This team was not ordinary—they had backgrounds in the U.S. military, with Turner and Vorhees notably involved in the 2004 Tic Tac UFO event, widely publicized by the New York Times in 2017.

The focus was on utilizing Jeremy’s vehicle, Osiris, equipped with advanced technology designed to track and gather data on UAPs. This setup included 360° cameras, magnetometers, gyroscopes, and a computer system for real-time analysis. The hope was that Osiris would significantly enhance their ability to detect and analyze unusual occurrences in the sky.

The experiment began with the launch of a rocket attached to a smoke bomb to observe any potential disturbances in its path that could point to the mysterious anomaly above the ranch. However, just as the rocket was prepared for launch, all of Osiris’s systems unexpectedly shut down, leaving the team baffled and scrambling to get everything back online.

Despite this setback, the team pressed on, readying a second rocket. Yet as they attempted to launch, Osiris’s systems failed again, displaying an error just as the countdown approached zero. This repeated failure, especially with sophisticated and thoroughly tested equipment, was perplexing and concerning.

In an attempt to understand what was happening, the team continued their experiments, hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive phenomena they were chasing. During one of the launches, something extraordinary happened: they observed an object with their naked eye, bearing striking similarities to the Tic Tac UAP encountered by Navy personnel in 2004. This sighting, visible without the aid of cameras or instruments, was a significant moment, confirming the real and tangible nature of these phenomena.

The operation at Skinwalker Ranch, fraught with technical difficulties and unexplained occurrences, ended with a groundbreaking observation: the team witnessed a UAP, validating both their efforts and the existence of phenomena that challenge our understanding of the world. This encounter not only echoed past events but also offered a rare, direct observation of an unidentified aerial object, reigniting curiosity and wonder about the mysteries beyond our current grasp of reality.

Currently, the team is collaborating with a pilot named Kendra Hart, undertaking flights above the ranch to gather data. They aim to investigate peculiar incidents reported previously, such as an unidentified object beneath a helicopter and GPS malfunctions.

Kendra piloted a Cessna equipped with specialized tools for data collection over a specific ranch area. The flight followed a systematic grid pattern at varying altitudes across a triangular section where anomalies had been noted. This marked Kendra’s first exploration of the ranch’s airspace, an adventure demanding thorough preparation.

The aircraft was fitted with GPS trackers, radiation detectors, and analytical instruments to identify and document irregularities from 2,500 to 5,000 feet above ground. Upon launching, ground-based personnel utilized advanced tracking technologies to monitor the aircraft’s path, aspiring to construct a 3D representation of the aerial anomaly.

Unexpectedly, despite the plane transmitting its coordinates, the tracking systems failed to acknowledge its presence—a discrepancy not observed with other aircraft in the vicinity. Eric and Kendra persisted in their aerial survey, adhering to the flight plan across the ranch at the planned elevations. Despite the challenges with the ADS-B system, the ground team remained optimistic about gleaning significant insights from the GPS data.

(ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, is an aviation mechanism that relays real-time data on an aircraft’s location, speed, and other critical details to air traffic controllers and nearby planes. It is a pivotal aspect of the NextGen air transportation system, aimed at enhancing the safety and efficacy of air traffic management.)

This episode contributes to the ranch’s enigmatic reputation, marked by unexplained occurrences and the complexities involved in experimental investigations. The team’s relentless effort in these challenging conditions highlights their commitment to uncovering the ranch’s mysteries, despite facing more questions than answers.

The ranch investigation transcended mere observation of anomalies; it underscored the difficulties in probing inexplicable phenomena. Despite elaborate preparations and sophisticated technology, the team encountered unforeseen challenges.

Travis and his crew initiated an investigative experiment within the enigmatic triangle region, famed for its unexplained occurrences. Collaborating with Richard Tinny, Chuck Harts, and David Moulton from the Salt Lake Astronomical Society, their objective was to meticulously record the anomaly using high-resolution telescopes.

Their strategy involved deploying rockets over the triangle, aiming to elicit or capture extraordinary UAP manifestations. As dusk enveloped the area, the group, reinforced by the astronomers, geared up for the rocket launches, endeavoring to chronicle the proceedings through their telescopes.

Contrary to expectations, the astronomers faced severe operational hurdles. Despite the varying origins of their equipment, the sophisticated telescopes could not synchronize with the celestial bodies above the anomaly—a surprising and challenging setback given the equipment’s proven reliability.

In a creative pivot, the team resorted to using a military-grade laser pointer as a makeshift calibration tool for the telescopes. This adjustment unearthed even more bizarre phenomena. The laser’s path seemed to warp, diminish in length, or fracture into several segments when aimed through the triangle, hinting at an invisible entity or atmospheric distortion.

Amid these curious findings, the crew continued their rocket launches, aiming to deepen their understanding of the triangle’s mysteries. Notably, the reaction of nearby cattle, which bolted, signaled potential undetectable changes in the environment—akin to a natural anomaly detector.

As the experiment advanced, they spotted a large spherical object traversing the sky, lacking the standard navigation lights typical of conventional aircraft. Its movements were erratic, and it eventually disappeared from view.

Moreover, the instruments registered an enigmatic signal at 1.6 GHz, a frequency previously linked with UAP encounters. The 1.6 GHz frequency is widely used across various communication and satellite services, including the Global Positioning System (GPS), which operates around this frequency. Its detection in secluded or ostensibly pristine locations like Skinwalker Ranch prompts intrigue. One might anticipate minimal human-related radio frequency interference in such areas, making the discovery of such a frequency remarkable.

In investigations like those conducted at Skinwalker Ranch, aimed at exploring paranormal phenomena, spectral analysis to identify electromagnetic signals is a routine part of the research. A signal is deemed abnormal if it strays from the expected natural electromagnetic background of the local area.

The mysteries enveloping Skinwalker Ranch, amplified by such uncommon observations—including specific frequency detections—serve to intensify the aura of enigma and speculation. Regardless of whether these signals stem from explainable sources or suggest phenomena beyond current understanding, they add to the rich tapestry of discussion and investigation characterizing the ranch.

During their exploration of the area known as the triangle, scientists encountered an unusual phenomenon in the sky, described as the most significant observation made there to date.

“I’m not broadcasting. What are you seeing?”
“A signal at 1.6.”

Some of their instruments malfunctioned, and there was notable distress among the livestock. Despite exhaustion, the researchers remained committed to unraveling the mystery enveloping the triangle.

Travis Taylor and his crew are on a mission to unravel the enigma shrouding Skinwalker Ranch, a place notorious for its inexplicable phenomena. They enlisted the expertise of retired Army Colonel John Alexander, who had previously investigated bizarre occurrences involving livestock and unusual transmissions. Alexander, who had participated in an extensive investigation sponsored by billionaire Robert Bigelow two decades earlier, offered a deep well of knowledge and perspective.

A particular point of interest for the team was a mysterious 1.6 GHz signal, linked to the oddities they were experiencing. This prompted them to consider theories of dimensional gateways, a notion put forth by Alexander’s earlier research group. This speculation posits that such phenomena may be connected to extraterrestrial pathways.

With a zeal for deeper investigation, Taylor and his team arranged an evening experiment at Homestead 2, initiating a rocket launch to trigger and monitor extraordinary occurrences. Despite a glitch with the rocket’s parachute not deploying properly, the experiment advanced, and they soon registered the elusive 1.6 GHz signal again, bolstering their theory of its relation to the peculiar events observed.

The following day, Eric, another team member, scrutinized the surveillance recordings and stumbled upon a baffling object. This entity, distinct in its behavior and movement, seemed to operate independently of natural elements such as the wind, suggesting the presence of a UAP.

This discovery, along with the continuous detection of the 1.6 GHz signal, intensified the team’s intrigue and resolve to decipher the mysteries cloaking Skinwalker Ranch.

Chris Bartell, an ex-military officer, joined forces with Robert Bigelow and the Defense Intelligence Agency to investigate the ranch between 2010 and 2016. Bartell was pivotal in securing the ranch and probing its numerous enigmas and hidden truths.

In a recent venture alongside Travis Taylor’s group, including Thomas Winton, Bartell provided a deep dive into his wealth of experience, spotlighting a notable site known as the triangle.

“Where’s the smoke go? Actually, look—it’s getting sucked in.”

This area, renowned for previous investigations and strange findings, was where they stumbled upon a concealed depression resembling a cavern, sparking interest due to long-standing rumors of subterranean channels and facilities within the ranch.

To further their quest, the team deployed a drone armed with a thermal imaging camera, managed by tech expert Pete Kelsey, aiming to spot potential subterranean gaps through thermal variations that might indicate caverns. They also used smoke bombs to track airflow and reveal concealed corridors.

The thermal camera flagged cooler temperatures near the presumed cave entrance, hinting at an underground chamber. The smoke bombs, designed to illuminate airflow and possible tunnel openings, initially dispersed smoke from several areas. In an unexpected twist, the smoke was dramatically drawn into the earth, suggesting a vast subterranean expanse functioning akin to a vacuum.

This intriguing outcome prompted the team to speculate about a complex network of undiscovered caves beneath Skinwalker Ranch. The evidence gathered underscored the urgency of more in-depth exploration, possibly necessitating excavation to truly grasp the scope and characteristics of these subterranean phenomena.

The team acknowledged that any future endeavors involving digging or drilling would require official authorization, given the potential hazards of altering the landscape of Skinwalker Ranch.
