Are Skinwalkers Linked to UFOs?! | Ancient Aliens | The UnXplained Zone

…1968.
17-year-old Larry Cesspooch is with his friends driving along an infamous stretch of road near Skinwalker Ranch.
As they approach a spot known as Dead Man’s Curve, named for the high number of car crashes that have occurred there, they spot a bright object in the sky.
We were driving around, with a bunch of us, and we come around Dead Man’s Curve and, uh, the driver looked in his rearview mirror and said, “Oh, what the heck is that?” It was a fireball, and that fireball was coming up behind us.
And so we told him to go faster, and this thing just flew over our head.
When I told my mother, she had talked about a similar incident when she was younger.
And other tribal members have seen that fireball.
The various accounts describe flashing lights, floating orbs and UFOs.
ARNOLD: In this entire area, there have been hundreds of reports of UFOs, you know, multiple people seeing the same ones.
This particular part of the area has kind of gotten the nickname of UFO Alley because of the number of those sightings that had been reported.
JOHN ALEXANDER: We did see tears.
We had openings in the sky, voices, crafts coming through, orbs.
Is that E.T.?
Uh, hard to say.
Reality of the events is absolute.
ERIK BARD: I have personally watched as portions of the mesa, as large as 500 to 600 feet, appeared to glow.
We may be looking at a terrestrial light source, or we may be looking at something far more interesting.
NARRATOR: In the 1990s, the owners of Skinwalker Ranch also witnessed strange orbs in the sky.
When they relayed their experiences to George Knapp, he found that the UFOs were tied to the other paranormal activity taking place on the property.
They start hearing heavy footsteps outside their bedroom window at night.
Then they start seeing these dark, humanoid shapes in the windows at night.
(creaking) Then they start hearing the footsteps inside the house.
(heavy footsteps) Then they wake up at night, and there’s the thing at the bottom of their bed.
They would go out at night, they’d walk around, they’d start hearing disembodied voices in the sky above their heads, speaking some strange language, almost like mocking them.
They start seeing little orbs floating around, seemingly intelligently controlled, flitting around in the trees.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that reports of floating orbs, poltergeist activity, and the creature known as the skinwalker are not separate phenomena?
Might they be better understood by considering them all together?
Another story told to George Knapp by the Shermans may reveal yet another aspect to the Skinwalker Ranch mystery.
KNAPP: The first day they’re on the property, they see an animal of some sort over on the brush line, and it starts coming toward them.
The men realize, “That’s a wolf.” It’s huge. The back of the wolf came up to the middle of his chest.
(snarling) They petted this thing.
It was a real, physical creature.
-Now, the calves are in the corral. -(distressed lowing) They’re all backed up against one side, scared of this wolf.
Except one calf makes the mistake of sticking its snout out between the bars of the corral.
-(growling) -The wolf sees it…
leaps in the air, like, 20 feet, chomps down on the head of this calf and is trying to drag it out of the corral.
His son grabs a .357 out of the truck and brings it over, Dad pops a shot into this wolf.
No yelp, no blood, no anything.
Shoots it a second and third time.
Now this is the fourth shot they’ve put into this wolf, and then a fifth shot goes right into the chest, a chunk of flesh and fur comes popping off the side and falls on the ground.
And this wolf just casually turns around and starts walking away, he’s had enough.
Five shots in this thing and didn’t kill it.
NARRATOR: The Shermans say they pursued the wolf into the brush, following its tracks on the wet ground.
KNAPP: They get to a clearing beyond the brush, a muddy area, the tracks go all the way out into the middle of the muddy field and stop.
It’s gone. It’s as if it had been sucked up into the sky.
NARRATOR: Later, when the Shermans told this story to a group of scientists that had come to investigate the ranch, they were shown a series of photographs and asked if any of them resembled the animal they encountered.
KNAPP: They have a lineup of different types of wolves, to ask each of the family members, show us what this looked like.
And the one that they all identified is what’s known as a dire wolf.
Dire wolf, of course, has been extinct for 10,000 years.
