Thanks to a user topic submission, this week we are covering the anomalies and conspiracies surrounding Skinwalker Ranch. Also known as Sherman Ranch, this facility in Unitah County, Utah is famed for over 50 years of UFO activity. Made famous by reporting from journalist George Knapp, this land is supposedly home to cattle mutilation and glowing orbs to wolfs who change shape and even bigfoots. But what truly makes it worthy of discussion is its current owner, Robert Bigelow.
Robert Bigelow—billionaire—owns Budget Suites and Bigelow Aerospace, one of the first ever civilian space companies with a unique focus of long-term habitation, not rocket development. Bigelow is a very interesting character. He created the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) which hires PhDs and ex-FBI agents to research the paranormal. He has conducted over 230 UFO investigations personally and invested millions at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas to start a Consciousness Studies Program which academically investigates near death experiences and psychic phenomenon. Finally, he works with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) to fund a rapid response UFO investigation team and for years was the contact person the FAA listed for anyone with a UFO report. Who is Bigelow? Why is he so secretive? Why does he spend hundreds of millions on apparent X-Files? How could he tie FEMA camps, the Denver Airport, and the Illuminati together? Good questions: give it a listen.
