I Searched for UFOs on Skinwalker Ranch…

[Music] people ask me all the time brandon fugle are you a believer now yeah the owner of skinwalker ranch and i tell them no i’m not a believer i’m an experiencer what right there welcome to skinwalker ranch the world’s greatest and most freaky paranormal hot spot located in the uinta basin in western utah if you think sedona arizona dolce new mexico and joshua tree california are trippy just wait until you learn about skinwalker first a little bit of history in the 19th century the area primarily consisted of two indian tribes the navajo and the youths during the civil war the utes partnered with the us government in a battle against the navajo suffering a brutal defeat and feeling betrayed the navajo cursed the local land with skinwalkers what are skinwalkers you might ask malevolent shape-shifting entities that can take various forms but often resemble demonic werewolves

[]in the 90s a family named the shermans took over the ranch and were basically haunted off the property they encountered orbs ufos skin walkers and even got rushed by an oversized bipedal wolf that they claimed was able to withstand a close range attack from a shotgun all of this anomalous activity caught the eye of robert bigelow the vegas-based budget suites billionaire who has a family history of paranormal activity and has made it his life’s mission to pour all of his real estate money into ufos in paranormal research between 2007 and 2012 it became the center of study for atip the official government ufo program led by lou elizondo because this program was also run under the auspices of bigelow aerospace a private company all of the data from it is both classified and not subject to the freedom of information act the only information you can find

[]about skinwalker from this era lies in two books the hunt for the skinwalker and skinwalkers at the pentagon i’m including links to both below when i acquired the ranch one of the things that i found amusing is an old little golden book lone ranger that had been discarded long ago the current owner of the ranch is a guy named brandon fugle he’s a real estate mogul and patron for frontier science fugl has gathered a team of hard-headed scientists to gather real data on all of the bizarre anomalies around the ranch they’ve set up various sensors and run constant experiments and unlike their government predecessors they plan to open source the data and share it with the public i won’t tell you what it is what the physical significance of this is i just want you to look at it and tell me if you see any interesting patterns and

[]then i’ll tell you what it is fugl’s team has encountered some pretty insane stuff electromagnetic anomalies with phones electronics and tri field meters they’ve seen orbs cattle mutilations they’ve personally experienced biological effects in fact visitors along with members of their team have been hospitalized they even have photos and live footage of ufos in the airspace of the property a lot of this is documented in a fantastic docu-series which can be found on the history channel and netflix called the secrets of skinwalker ranch could an alien craft be creating a wormhole causing an electromagnetic fallout affecting visitors of the property are these wormholes manipulating space-time what does the native american history have to do with these paranormal observables we’ll take you a few steps further down the rabbit hole on today’s long overdue episode of american alchemy at skinwalker ranch [Music] different parts have different activities

[][Music] you do want to keep things like the loch ness monster and spoon bending away from the ufo conversation if you can’t now the thing that goes against what i’m saying is something like cattle mutilations so either somebody is an amazing sadistic animal hoaxer or you have to open the uap story to their decision to study cattle or leave cattle as presents for us or who knows what what in the world one of the most disturbing things to happen on skinwalker ranch was when a perfectly healthy two-year-old heifer cow showed up dead with no exterior injuries there’s no cat tracks no sign of struggle middle of the day they’re dead an autopsy revealed that pneumonia had done the cow in pneumonia brought on by a severe stressor that seemed to shock the animal but there were no tracks of predators nearby simultaneously the team was picking up

[]high levels of radiation around the cow with their em detectors higher levels than if they were standing in front of a microwave my phone starts freaking out whenever your trifield goes off i don’t have any control over my phone right now brandon and the team check the surveillance footage in the control room finding something pretty disturbing the cow is right here what we’ll do is go forward very slowly and watch what happens with her it seems like the moment the cow feels a disturbance a ufo-shaped object appears directly above it the next frame the object is here the old adage correlation does not imply causation might apply here but with no animal tracks a detected radioactive burst and a mysterious object in the sky directly above the cow maybe this cattle mutilation doesn’t have a prosaic explanation the moment that that object appeared the cow was

]reacting yes [Music] one two three we know this symbol signifies as above so below the question is why here nobody knows who made this engraving or why perhaps it’s the work of augustus wally a legendary buffalo soldier decorated with the medal of honor the buffalo soldiers were a group of african-american cavalry in the 19th century some thought they had a background in freemasonry but what about the message as above so below does this mean that the earth and its materials are some low-level instantiation or reflection of a more platonic realm are there correlations between the skies and the ground let’s focus on what’s below first the focal point of most of the electromagnetic anomalies is the mesa the rocky ridge that lines the northward edge of the property fugel’s team used soil resistivity and ground penetrating radar to basically figure out that there was a large metallic object buried

[]underneath the property below the mesa the group called in a drill expert aaron blunt to drill into the mesa and find out what was underneath the drill first went horizontally but when it attempted to turn upward it hit a hard object that it couldn’t break through it should go through that layer pretty easily but it’s not and it’s not it scouted the edges of it and concluded it was a hard object 400 feet wide buried in the mesa they collected hundreds of shards that were deposited which appeared to be metal oh my they took the samples to a metallurgist dr ravi chandran who revealed that they were fused metal and contained europium and tellurium this means that they were likely manufactured and not naturally occurring this material was manufactured as opposed to a natural occurrence yes i’m inclined to think that way too so what the hell were these deliberately

[]manufactured rare earth elements doing buried in the mason characteristic of the ranch when the group went to get a visual of the possible ufo with a snake camera a huge boulder blocked the entrance to the chamber where the metal object was and they were once again left in the dark the group then turned to the sky the patch of sky that continues to give the group the most trouble is an area known as the triangle it seems like there’s some invisible force that tampers with their equipment every time they try to measure anything in this region of the air this time they decided to use a 15 foot rocket with gps sensors and chalk that would map and coat any invisible objects hovering above after the first rocket launch failed due to internal combustion they transitioned to the backup however when the backup was launched something very strange

[]happened it made an abrupt deflection to the west as if it were avoiding something there was no wind to push the rocket as dramatically westward as it went why did the rocket avoid that one spot directly above the triangle well it could have been avoiding a ufo not only did fugel’s whole team see a ufo cameras later revealed that a ufo came into and out of the sky at exactly the same time the rocket was launched oh my gosh it disappeared can you replay that as you can see the ufo moves in and out of the sky seemingly provoked by the rocket launch there was also very high gamma radiation detected right next to the triangle by the em detectors attached to the rocket is there a craft flying into and out of the mesa and does it have something to do with this 400 foot

[metallic object mysteriously buried under the ground as the inscription says as above so below do you guys have a theory as to why when you dig more paranormal stuff happens we don’t know why there’s obviously a causal relationship there’s a cause and effect when i told my new friend and director of atip lou elizondo i was visiting skinwalker ranch he told me to pray and humble myself i soon found out why welcome to homestead 2. thank you this is the site of so many things the the energy in here it feels interesting well it was interesting we we had post malone he had a whole security detail with him we’re talking arm to the teeth they ended up having an experience they ended up seeing a spectral image dart through and up through the roof one of the most serious illnesses brought on by the ranch was on october

[]14 2016. touring the property was a group of 11 people including a prominent doctor in his security detail which included a six foot four former hells angel member named george i went to the top of the mesa to get a nice panorama and the phone started glitching whoa yeah at that point members of the group started to report feelings of vertigo and nausea i asked where’s our security where’s the big guy and right off in the distance in this open air polaris utv stood this big six foot four figure and as as i walked up just a few feet from the the ranger and said his name again yelled his name george his eyes fluttered open he looks down at me and he says whoa that was weird and i said what are you talking about and he said well when we pulled up and you all jumped out i stood up and

[]was frozen i couldn’t move and everything went black and then he asked me he said how long have i been standing here and i said probably about 10 minutes george later described feeling scope esthesia the sense that he was being watched or the object of predation the next morning he checked himself into the hospital down to las vegas he couldn’t he couldn’t walk he couldn’t walk he was immobilized there were no biomarkers to indicate what had incapacitated him george was completely out of commission for the next three to four weeks is it a coincidence he was hell’s angels you’re asking the right question it seems that those people who have experienced these these kinds of events are sort of the head strong the alpha male the aggressive whether they’re actually showing aggression i’m sure it’s tempting to conclude that there may have been some alteration of brain structures as a

[]result of exposure to whatever it is do you have a sense of what the exact brain structure difference is yes i i’ve had it described to me but i don’t know if i’m allowed to talk about that because i know i know nolan talks about caudate nucleus and the potato thank you you said it so it’s an area that i’ve talked about before between the head of the caudate and the potamen that had increased neural density his view is not that an encounter makes that part of the brain more neuronally dense his view is that those people had more neuronally dense basal ganglias yes prior and that made them more predisposed to sort of seeing that’s how it’s about yeah right and so um there have been a few comments made that suggest that maybe that density changes as a result of the exposure but the

[]story gets even crazier that day everyone’s cell phone batteries went from eighty percent to zero the group interrupted their tour to let their phones recharge it was on the drive back to retrieve their phones that they saw something in the sky all of a sudden the other security professional shouts stop the vehicle stop the vehicle and i’m driving and i and i ask well what’s going on and he’s he’s pointing up ahead and i look to exactly where he’s pointing straight ahead of us above the mesa and there is literally a silver grayish disc-like object about a hundred feet above the mesa just sitting there suspended in the air and all of a sudden that object changed position probably moved i don’t know 50 feet to the left in the blink of an eye and then a few seconds later it was reduced to a dot it

[]was like a bullet darting off in the distance and was gone that experience changed my entire world view my paradigm shifted i think richard feynman had like a speech about why ufos are bogus and it’s like all of the things observed on this property it’s like blue orbs metallic crafts the humming sound like it’s like all this stuff and it’s because and you can’t it’s hard to create a theory out of it the phone thing feels key if you can recreate that somehow in a lab i love where you you see you should have been doing this job instead of me no definitely not so what i’m going to show you may offer an explanation for some of what we’ve been seeing on the property it’s the very large neodymium magnet and so what i’m seeing is that when i go through a certain point and i’ll get the

]effect and i’m getting exactly the effect that i saw on top of mason in fact you can just picture it you know it’s it’s there’s a big divergent field at the at the corner so maybe that surrounds the ufo well baby steps you know i do baby steps but yes yes i see where you’re going what would make sense if you because everybody talks about antigravity but if you were to really try to um defeat gravity you would probably do it with em well we do know that that people have been working on things like an em drive for quite some time and it’s very interesting stuff maybe it’s a magnetic field around the craft that senses the magnetic field of the earth and then uses that as gps like they have that lockheed has like a quantum magnetometer that they use as gps so why couldn’t a

[]ufo do that i don’t believe that the study of ufo activity from fast walkers that are that are being tracked by our our systems to even programs dealing with remote viewing i don’t believe that any of that has either gone dark or ceased i think it has only been shifted into the private sector into these special access programs certainly aerospace corporations have knowledge in the uap area that specifically are sequestered by against foia oh because of proprietary i appreciate labels which the whole thing was set up to be that way on purpose i liken it to a big puzzle if you were to lay a puzzle out on a table and you were to divvy pieces corners of that puzzle out and then these highly territorial factions that are in silos are created and they’re all vying for budget dollars for both legit conventional projects and others

[]and the problem is when peop no one has the whole puzzle or an image of the whole puzzle but they have pieces they have corners so homestead three which is where we’re going next is where a lot of people have negative experiences for whatever reason my wife refuses to go inside you got to go get a picture in the chair yeah i’m not doing any of that get into the fetal position in preparation it seems like every time they engage in scientific inquiry into the ranch the instrumentation always malfunctions gps em lidar sensors even photogrammetry exercises all produce something wildly out of place we could do a whole documentary series on just the electromagnetic anomalies and the equipment malfunctions and failures that occur constantly during the process of documenting one of the first things eric barr did after brandon fugle took over the ranch was update the surveillance cameras so

[]these are the kinds of cameras that were being used i want you to understand where the bar is set he used a lot of the same vantage points as bigelow but he decided to use one additional camera to monitor the control room itself we had experienced some really peculiar things going on with our equipment as was experienced with the previous groups the camera had motion detection and eric would monitor the control room remotely getting a ping every time motion was detected one morning after getting woken up by multiple pings he got so frustrated that he decided to sit at the screen with the live feed of the control room and see what was causing it i am transfixed on that tacky room for all intents and purposes i’m in that room and so i just uh i i said out loud okay this is stupid

]and then i said all right if you got something you want to show me show me if you got something you want to tell me tell me once i did that what happened was the screen began to do this and i was like that’s cool let me click back out and click back in and do it again screen grab right now i got like i want to say eight or ten of those and i was like there’s a bug here that’s what’s sending the messages there’s a problem with the equipment the first screen grab eric made after issuing his challenge produced this telling artifact what the hell i living that’s creepy remember the label was trailer living room follow the sequence of events i said if you got something you want to tell me tell me then this is the immediate first screen shot oh god

[]no no it was like out of a horror movie exactly is this a coincidence or is this a trickster entity communicating in cryptographic ways it really feels like the group at skinwalker ranch is dealing with a conscious entity that shows itself when it wants to be seen it’s almost like the god of the old testament that’s weakly entangled with reality speaking through signs profits and cryptographic messages do these entities have our best interests at heart do they mean us harm or do they just incidentally come into contact with us has alien technology and meta materials mustered the energy necessary to warp space-time does this ability to warp space-time create an electromagnetic fallout that affects visitors of skinwalker ranch i can’t deny that which i have seen with my own eyes and you couple with that other witnesses electromagnetic anomalies that occur simultaneous with so many of these

events and it it’s undeniable yeah it’s not a question of belief right it’s now understanding the nature of what we are interacting with you know we’ve been steeped in this stuff right ancient aliens right so let’s take some ancient ancient prehistoric tech that is artificially intelligent and meant to take its directives through a non-contact neural interface with a superior neurology to ours and it’s pinging us and it’s recognizing it’s what look kind of like handshaking and and we almost get there and then some random stuff in our head manifested this nonsense that’s called skinwalker range phenomenology this episode begets so many fundamental questions are certain people with more neuronally dense basal ganglias more likely to witness paranormal activity on the ranch how are people biologically affected after they make contact on the ranch in skinwalkers at the pentagon colm kelleher george knapp and james lakatsky report hitchhiker effects among

[]many of the scientists that studied at skinwalker ranch in fact the phenomenon often followed these people home was this interdimensional portal at skinwalker ranch created by the navajo was it created by the buffalo soldiers was it created by the government and its recent studies leave a comment and tell me what you think i will say as far as my personal experience goes i saw a tri-field meter go out it had full battery it’s flashing it’s now dead i did smell sulfur which is supposedly a common thing on the ranch it was enough where i was like this is yeah now it’s gone right uh no i got it still and some weird [ __ ] happened to me when i came back home in fact working on this episode remotely from the east coast my editor encountered the exact same electromagnetic anomalies experienced by skinwalker visitors on his computer you

[]tell me what you think about all this my contrarian opinion here is we’re actually over indexed on empiricism and under indexed on theory and we actually just need better theories to explain all of these disparate anomalous occurrences if you’re trying to find a needle in a haystack having more sensors and making your haystack bigger doesn’t necessarily help i have to say i’m happy and a bit relieved to leave this episode behind me until next time i’m jesse michaels and this is american album
