Deep dives
The Mysterious Phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch
Skinwalker Ranch in Utah is renowned for a wide range of reports of high strangeness, attracting scientific investigation and becoming a focal point for the UFO disclosure movement. The ranch has been associated with various phenomena, including encounters with strange cryptids, portals to other worlds, UFO sightings, poltergeist activity, and cattle mutilations. The indigenous lore of the area speaks of skinwalkers, witches with the ability to transform into animals. The ranch's history includes ownership by Robert Bigelow, who founded NIDS for paranormal research. The phenomena observed at the ranch defy simple explanations, often staying one step ahead of researchers and showing different responses to different people.
Using the Six-Layer Model and Incommensurability
To make sense of the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch, the six-layer model of anomalous phenomena is employed. The model, proposed by Jacques Vallee and Eric Davis, categorizes layers as physical, anti-physical, psychological, physiological, psychic, and cultural. It helps analyze the evidence and impact of each layer, going beyond a purely physicalist approach. Additionally, the incommensurability problem is considered, highlighting the challenges of understanding non-human intelligence and its peculiar manifestations. The differences in cultural, biological, and dimensional contexts necessitate different frameworks for interpretation and comprehension.
The Importance of Focusing on the Lightning
Rather than solely focusing on the thunder, or the aftermath and interpretations of the phenomenon, it is crucial to direct inquiry toward the lightning, or the phenomenon itself. This requires formulating better questions and avoiding the traditional security-first perspective. Vallee's conversation with a military intelligence official shifted his perspective, highlighting that the phenomena might not be a scientific problem but a matter for intelligence and counter-espionage. The lightning, with its elusive and complex nature, challenges our current understanding and calls for a deeper exploration beyond familiar frameworks and assumptions.
The Mystery of Skinwalker Ranch: Portals and Other Dimensions
Skinwalker Ranch is a property in Utah that has gained notoriety due to the frequent occurrence of strange phenomena. One possible explanation for these phenomena is the existence of one or more portals on the ranch. Local indigenous people believe that carvings and a ceremonial site on the property indicate the presence of a portal to another world. The ranch team believes they have collected data proving the existence of a portal in the area known as the triangle. Another explanation is that the phenomena are coming from another dimension parallel to our own. Although there is no hard evidence for other dimensions, the theory of window areas, introduced by John Keel, suggests that specific locations act as portals or conduits to other realities. Skinwalker Ranch aligns with this theory due to the diverse range of manifestations reported. Another theory proposed by the current owner is that there is an advanced intelligence present on the property, which has shown a desire to communicate. This intelligence is believed to have command over space, time, and consciousness. The strange and irrational aspects of the phenomena at the ranch align with the concept of a control mechanism, as suggested by Jacques Vallée. The UFO phenomenon may function as a hyperobject, a complex and incomprehensible system that defies traditional understanding. The implications of this include the possibility that the intelligence behind the phenomena is operating on a level beyond our comprehension and that we might have played a role in initiating the phenomenon.
Unraveling Skinwalker Ranch: Cattle Mutilations, Orbs, and Unexplained Agendas
Two manifestations often observed at Skinwalker Ranch are cattle mutilations and orbs. Cattle mutilations involve the precise surgical removal of specific body parts, suggesting a highly advanced intelligence at work. Orbs, on the other hand, are spherical objects often associated with paranormal activity and can be seen both in the sky and on the ground. The simultaneous occurrence of these seemingly opposing phenomena raises questions about the true nature of Skinwalker Ranch. It challenges conventional explanations and implies the presence of an agenda-driven intelligence behind the phenomena. Viewing the UFO phenomenon as a hyperobject forces us to consider whether the agenda of the phenomenon operates on a level beyond our understanding and whether we might have inadvertently initiated a phenomenon that now holds a commanding influence.
In the first episode of this series, we dive into the mystery of the ranch and plot our path forward. We discuss:
🛸 What John Keel saw as the biggest blunder of ufological investigation (and how to avoid it) 🛸 The conversation that convinced Jacques Vallée that science will never provide the full answer on UFOs (and how to proceed anyway) 🛸 The reason Brandon Fugal says there may be a “precognitive, sentient, non-human intelligence” on the ranch 🛸 The 6-Layer Model of Anomalous Phenomena (Vallée & Davis) 🛸 The Control Mechanism (Vallée) 🛸 Window Areas (Keel) 🛸 The UFO as Hyperobject (James Madden) 🛸 And much more
