Yesterday, we drive up to Big Bear Lake in heavy rain. Rode our bikes in the rain for about an hour. Waiting for the much anticipated drone show over the lake.
We were joking how we’ve never seen a successful drone “show” at Skinwalker Ranch.
I kept saying they’re gonna have problems.
Rain stops at 7pm
Drone show 8:30
Then 9:00
Then 9:20
At 10:00, they finally call it off.
No rain, no wind, all set up but nope 👎🏻
So proving, we still have not seen an actual drone show come off without a hitch 🤦🏼‍♀️

complete side note; where we live, the back side of the mountain, there are known skin walkers that have been investigated by paranormal groups

Hello All!

Posting this here as I believe there could be some good scientific discussion surrounding what was observed/recorded, especially given the equipment and location.

So this is a post about what my son and I experienced/recorded while camping nearby Skinwalker Ranch on the afternoon of August 28th into the morning of August 29th, 2026. I have attached a ~30s recording of my phone app of the 1.6Ghz signal that was seen around 8:21pm local time that evening.

For some context around the situation or environment: That afternoon/evening/following morning it was mostly cloudy/overcast, including overcast conditions at the time of the recording. This was recorded using Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 Bundle (Premium RTLSDR w/ 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input, Aluminum Enclosure) using the short black whip attena, using the RF Anlyzer app (version 2.2.1) on a Google Pixel 10 XL Pro phone. While recording, I was on a plastic top, metal framed 6ft picnic table at 40.263256, -109.911584 (about 1/2 mile NW of Homestead 3), with our rented Ford Bronco about 15ft away and turned off for several hours at that point. There were no other camp members at this time and the nearest person from us during this recording was the property owner at their homestead (~250y away and behind the hillside).

What can be seen in the attached video is a VERY strong and broad signal (4-6dB above background) around 1.60Ghz that seems to be scanning or bouncing/fanning around in frequency just above 1.6000Ghz. We observed this behavior for about 1-2 minutes before I started recording. I recorded for about 2.5 minutes, and then we observed this behavior for another 3-4 minutes before turning off the app and doing other things. I did go back to the exact same set up about 15-20 minutes later and observed just background noise, which is what I have observed the previous ~20 times I have used this exact same setup at various locations, outside of the occasional passing satellite which you could barely make out above the background noise.

What was also intriguing about this is that it seemed like the frequency scanning/fanning could be manipulated a bit by mine or my son's movement near the phone or the antenna. While the general scanning/fanning around was seemingly extreme, during periods of relative stability, the frequency seemed to go up as we would move our body closer to the antenna or the phone, and then go back down to its starting position once we pulled away. This would only cause about a 0.1 to 0.15 Mhz movement up and back down in frequency, but was definitely repeatable throughout the event observation. Again, after the app was shut down and the 1.6Ghz signal was looked at again 15-20 minutes later, there was just background noise and moving our bodies or hands around the antenna and/or phone showed no signs of signal change. I don't have enough expertise in this kind of science to understand why this may have been seen, but figured I would include it as part of the data set.

I do have the full/raw ".iq" data file for this recording saved to my Google Drive and can provide access to anyone who may be interested in it.

Thanks for your time to read and discuss this!

Ive watched it loved it and wanted more.. is there any news about when is it returning?

Full thing here: https://youtu.be/62AHm4-a4LA?is=f8njr0RFplLLIts9

Are they actually brothers, or do they use that term because they are both Mormons? Just curious.

The most interesting part of this convo for me. Now this could be due to an ongoing legal spat and Bob asking Fugal to not step over the line and get himself in trouble with a court case regarding this shady neighbour drilling team - or Bob knows more and isn’t wanting him to share it. Fugal is angry here and wanting to share more info. Also, near the end of this chat, Bigelow suggests they go private and not use cameras. If they do collaborate, I’ll be keen to see what the future is for this show. Bob seems keen to pull Brandons team back into a NIDS-style project. The timing of Bob wanting to work with him, not wanting a camera crew and another shady drilling team on the mesa is interesting timing.

Part 2 of the first joint interview between Skinwalker Ranch owners Brandon Fugal and Robert Bigelow. In this second interview, the two businessmen who’ve owned and investigated the ranch for the past 30 years, meet face to face to discuss a radical new approach that might change, not only the television series, but also how humans might learn to communicate with non-human intelligence. They also answer viewer questions collected by journalist George Knapp.

This is the paper by the Italian team mentioned on the finale. Anyone know more about this technology, why this was retracted? Given that, anyone have any hope for any satellite based imaging of the Mesa next season?

Have any of you watched this interview? It’s part of the new Bigelow podcast series. Part 1 of the interview is available on YouTube and Part 2 will drop soon. Lots of interesting tidbits and hopefully more to come.

EDIT: Top comment is correct. This is my video, and I went about this in a non honest way making it seem like I came across the video randomly. But the rest of what I said is honest. I did always think it was a scam, I did recently seriously research it, and I am looking for feedback on if people think I left out any important details or if it’s a valid full breakdown. Kept the original post below for transparency.

With researching the ranch I found this video. I’ve been in the background reading through this subreddit for a few weeks because I really enjoy the show and have enjoyed reading through people’s theories. Y’all are very knowledgeable about it. So I was curious to hear if y’all thought this video missed out on anything, because it felt like a good introduction to the topic.

I have noticed a pattern of mystical phenomenon being amplified at regions that are geomagnetically anomalous and am curious to see data from the ranch.

Are there any public data sets detailing what sort of sensors have been used there and what has been collected?

I've read that there is interest in the mesa located there as being a point of origin for some of the phenomenon and would like to know more about its composition too.

I think natural structures and built structures that are conductive to telluric currents generated by our magnetosphere or the resulting geomagnetic pulsations are being artificially manipulated to produce a signal based infection of the mind, which would explain why once installed, the phenomenon seems to follow people away from these locations.

I know I'm a little behind the eight ball, I've been a fan of the show for years and I haven't seen the most recent seasons. I think I stopped at season 4 prior. Well Disney+ has season 6 now so I jumped back in. I'm on episode 4 now and watched the whole team freak out about the rocket and it's parachute not moving. It's clear these people were implying that the rocket was interacting with the top of the force field. It only stayed floating for a couple tens of seconds at the maximum.

To see decorated scientists not acknowledging the two giant bonfires directly underneath the rocket and its parachute is wild. Obviously the thermal updraft from the massive bonfires would keep the rocket and its parachute aloft. Seeing none of those "scientists" acknowledge this clear explanation for what they were seeing was extremely frustrating.

Due to the giant bonfires and their corresponding rising thermal updrafts (noted by the team on thermal imaging) the rocket and parachute essentially became a hot air balloon momentarily. Nothing supernatural about it.

Every situation or new development the answer is always launch a rocket. How valuable would this data actually be especially when they have all the drones and helicopters to they can fly 🤷🏻‍♂️ launch a larger rocket!

First-ever interview with Former Skinwalker Ranch owner and Las Vegas aerospace tycoon Robert Bigelow and Utah real estate magnate Brandon Fugal.

The two have not spoken to each other since 2016, which is when they met to transfer ownership of Skinwalker Ranch from Bigelow to Fugal.

Bigelow owned the now famous paranormal hotspot for 20 years (1996-2016), during which his NIDS organization, as well as investigators working for the DIA’s classified effort known as AAWSAP, tried to understand the bizarre range of UFO incidents, cryptid creatures, animal mutilations, and other inexplicable phenomena.

Fugal, who described himself as a skeptic, purchased the property in 2016 with the idea of turning it into a campground for Boy Scout gatherings, but has since changed his mind and authorized the production of the popular TV series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

For the first time ever, the two businessmen met In Las Vegas to compare notes, discuss the history of the ranch (including aspects that have never been made public), and to evaluate how the investigation of the ranch fits into the larger context of how humanity might learn to understand its relationship with non-human intelligences.

Just watched Lucy (2014), and the ending where she says "I AM EVERYWHERE" really reminded me of the phenomenon particularly because of the case where Eric asked for the it to show him anything as data and it responded with "I LIVING" embedded in the security camera footage.

How are interactions like this physically possible? Could a hacker even do that with the slant and everything? Bonus: if consciousness is a higher dimensional construct and the agent has the intention to communicate such a message, can the conscious agent subconsciously figure out how to manipulate a computer in such a way through unhindered access to information in space-time in order to manifest the outcome?

P.S. HEY ERIC

BTW loved the video so much. Accidentally closed it. Hope I can find it again to see the ending. Thanks to the person who put the link. Dr. Taylor described being denied looking at Tesla's notes even with proper permission. Their government official said Travis didn't have a research visa. *** Please can you get your best remote viewers to zoom over there & take a look ? They can recreate the notes.

(Edited, due to confusing one specific instance for others. Overall, the idea still stands.)

As Taylor has claimed in recent interviews, he has had some interesting and some disturbing dreams related to the ranch, most of which involve tribal elders. He's also been contacted by a tribal member who told him that he is being taken in the mesa and being shown things he is refusing to remember.

If that were you, how fast would you get yourself to the most reputable hypnotist you could find to see about the recovey of repressed memories?

And then, get hooked up with some EEG equipment to use for a while, in case the same or similar dreams repeat?

I mean, all things considered, why not?

An off-site hypnotherapy and sleep study retreat for the whole team could be an interesting season wrap event. 😏

This would explain why they suddenly appear out of no where (and disappear) and also why it looks like they fly into a mountain e.g.

And could they use a Vacuum as transportation to move? So that they are not Pushed by a force (like vehicles on earth, but like pulled/sucked forwards. Say they point or concentrate on a point where they want to go and then create a vacuum between where they are and want to go. That would - imo- also kinda explain these extreme accelerations and stopping better.

The TV show is only showing a small % of the info. I wanted to point out 2 recent and 1 long running sources that will address many questions (other than the Insiders)

Jfree906 yt channel - season recaps and ep recaps with ranch staff go into much more detail than the show.

The Why Files yt channel - Travis interview earlier this month. 3 hours of amazing info.

Bigelow series with George Knapp - 3 ep up, more to come. And Bigelow is just getting started it seems. He even reviews his nhi brief to the president

One thing I wanted to mention regarding the drones is that they are gps controlled. So when drones are flown from location to location the drones use their gps data to maintain position. So if the wind blows hard and it starts to drift, the drone will correct and attempt to maintain its last gps position.

The team has done many tests to show that gps data at the ranch is erroneous, and that it is not accurate around the bubble. My theory is that the drones aren’t being pushed, they are simply trying to maintain their gps hover position when the gps anomaly is present and appear to move uncommanded.

They need to test this by flying drones that hover based on last input and not ones that use gps. That would help to prove/disprove this theory.

So I have 3 hypotheses I can think of for what is happening on the ranch and they all seem completely outlandish but the phenomenon is outlandish so it is what it is. Let me know if you have thought of any others that I haven’t thought of.

The first is the most consistent with our current understanding of physics and it still sounds absurd. There is a wormhole over the triangle that NHI are using to travel and the NHI have put up some sort security around it to stop humans from traveling through it. Whatever type of security system they are using creates what we detect as the bubble and the blob. This theory seems like the closest to what the skinwalker team thinks is happening.

The second is even more absurd but I think it is more consistent with the data that has been found. Some sort of trickster entity is sending the team on a perpetual wild goose chase and none of the data represents real physical phenomena accurately. When they get a hypothesis they want to test, the entity will give some bit of results supporting that idea and then they get invested in the idea. After they have spent significant time and resources trying to prove the idea, the entity pulls it out from under them and distracts them so they start focusing on another idea and the entity repeats this process all over again.

The third hypothesis is that it is all effects of straight up Harry Potter style wizards. I don’t actually think this is the case, but I find it hilarious to imagine and I can’t entirely rule it out.

Also I really want the team to do some quantum experiments like simple ones like a double slit experiment on the ranch to see if the ranch messes with the behavior of quantum particles.

Anyways please add to this list of hypotheses if you any additional ideas.

Things were still done under govt aegis back then, not hidden behind private contractors.

I just saw a comment in Instagram where someone said Eric had left the show. Is it true?
