The Skinwalker Ranch Conspiracy Blog
(All quotes taken from a 1996 article published in the Deseret News and by Motherboard)
“You talk to a lot of people around here that at one time or another have seen something they can’t explain. There’s been a lot of cattle mutilations, and a lot of them weren’t reported. Several (ranchers) told me that when they had a (mutilation), they called the authorities and the authorities couldn’t do anything, so it was just a waste of time and effort.”
Aliens have long been the great divide between people with a brain and those who just trudge along in this world, believing everything they’ve been told. But I can’t log on to this site and write about aliens as it is such a broad topic. Area 51? No thank you. Why? Because they’re not conspiracies, they’re just facts that some people choose to ignore. Skinwalker Ranch? That’s pretty specific, not as well known, and still hits on aliens.
Skinwalker Ranch is located in Ballard, Utah. More specifically it is southeast of Ballard, Utah, but since no one reading this has any fucking clue as to the geographical specificities of Utah I didn’t feel that was the most necessary of details. I would be out on Skinwalker Ranch without this key piece of information – it existing in Utah. I’ve never trusted Utah. It’s’ situated in a perfect spot to be completely forgotten about and overlooked. It’s not west enough to be cool like Nevada or California. Not southern enough to be Arizona. Not mountainy enough to be Colorado. It’s just out there, being Utah, no one giving a shit about what’s going on out there. Utah’s like the neighbor who no one in the cul de sac knows because they’re quiet and keep to themselves and then turns out to have two dozen heads in their basement freezer. Utah is not to be trusted.
Utah is the perfect meeting ground for extraterrestrials. It’s just hundreds of miles of space with almost no human interference. Perfect for them to become adjusted to the atmosphere, study us from afar, and mostly be left alone. It’s like why we go to Mars or the Moon. Just trying to get a feel for other options, seeing what is viable for the future. No malicious intent (yet), just some light experimentation.
“There are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on planet earth. The notion that anybody would say that out of that incredible number of stars there is only one planet that has life on it, that’s ludicrous. That’s egocentric to the max.”
Terry and Gwen Sherman wish some of that teeming intergalactic life would find somewhere else to hang out.
For more than a year now the Shermans’ 480-acre ranch just south of Fort Duchesne in Uintah County has been a hotbed for UFOs and bizarre paranormal activity — weirdness that even the Shermans, who’ve witnessed the strange happenings with their own eyes and video camera, have trouble accepting as reality.
“For a long time we wondered what we were seeing, if it was something to do with a top-secret project,” said Terry Sherman, who reluctantly agreed to speak publicly about the activity for the first time. “I don’t know really what to think about it.”
The Shermans, their teenage son and 10-year-old daughter have seen three specific types of UFOs repeatedly during the past 15 months — a small boxlike craft with a white light, a 40- foot-long object and a huge ship the size of several football fields. They’ve seen one craft emit a wavy red ray or light beam as it flies along. They’ve seen other airborne lights, some of which have emerged from orange, circular doorways that seem to appear in midair. They’ve videotaped two of the sightings.
Outside of just Skinwalker Ranch, there have been consistent sightings in the area for 50-years now. Ranging from Naval officers to every day regular folks, Utah’s skies have consistently been the gateway between this world and others.
Utah’s UFO activity isn’t limited to the Uintah Basin.
Controversial film footage of flying discs was taken by a Navy warrant officer near Tremonton in 1952. A “fireball” that raced above Salt Lake City’s skies and drew considerable attention in the Nephi area in 1962 is considered suspicious by some UFO investigators.
Pat Roach, a Lehi woman working for Geneva Steel at the time, attracted national attention when she went public with her account of an alien abduction she said occurred in 1973.
Bill Lyons, a Mutual UFO Network investigator in Iron County, is intrigued by a February 1993 incident in which a man and woman saw a dozen UFOs near Hurricane, including an egg-shaped craft with telephone pole-size landing gear and a large hot dog-shaped craft. After the sightings, the couple surveyed the ground nearby and found a trail of small three-toed footprints in the snow. Other markings indicated a tail might have been dragging behind whatever made the prints.
“The thing that struck me about this sighting was its depth and the copious amounts of information,” Lyons said. “There was just so much detail to it.”
Outside of it being Utah, the biggest reason I lean towards believing in Skinwalker Ranch is the cattle mutilation. You can’t have UFOs without crop circles and cattle mutilation, that’s just day one alien stuff. The term “skin-walker” comes from a Navajo legend about ill-intentioned witches who could take the shape of animals to cause harm. Any legends that predate modern times yet are still being perpetuated – like Chupacabra for example – I’ll believe in 10/10 times. The fact that the Navajo had a term for these fucking things that spread by word of mouth long before modern technology was able to attempt to capture footage of these things is a major check in this being real. Also, Skinwalker Ranch is tremendous branding. That place is either home to a nudist colony which only allows members 60-years old and up or the stomping grounds of extraterrestrials. Potentially both.
Oh yeah, the other reason I believe Skinwalker Ranch to be true is probably the fact that in the ’90s it was purchased by the Pentagon which then set up a living laboratory which played host to dozens of scientists which was so restricted one needed a level of clearance higher than any military base in the country. It also did not allow a single photograph to become public until 2018 despite shutting down in 2004. Photos like this
From the New York Times a little over a year ago,
In the $600 billion annual Defense Department budgets, the $22 million spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was almost impossible to find.
Which was how the Pentagon wanted it.
For years, the program investigated reports of unidentified flying objects, according to Defense Department officials, interviews with program participants and records obtained by The New York Times. It was run by a military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring, deep within the building’s maze.
The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the program remains in existence. For the past five years, they say, officials with the program have continued to investigate episodes brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other Defense Department duties.
Hiding in plain sight, lurking in the shadows, Utah, the Pentagon, the Navajo, cattle mutilation, aliens. You can believe whatever you want. It’s a free country. But some fucking WILD shit is going on in Utah, buddy. And it has been for quite a while.
