Skinwalker Ranch NIDS Investigation 1994

Beginning in 1994 when the Sherman family purchased the property and continuing through the present day, the Skinwalker Ranch in the Uintah Basin of Utah has been the site of intense UAP and anomalous phenomena activity documented by multiple investigators. The Shermans reported UAP, poltergeist-type activity, animal mutilations, and anomalous entities. In 1996, billionaire Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) purchased the ranch for scientific study. NIDS researchers documented orbs, UAP, crop formations, and anomalous radar returns over multiple years. When NIDS concluded operations, the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) company subsequently conducted DoD-contracted research on the property under the AATIP contract. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) was instrumental in directing DIA funding to this research. The government-funded research produced multiple classified reports. In 2016, a new private ownership group continued investigation. The ranch has become the most intensively studied location for anomalous aerial phenomena in the world, with documented cases across UAP, ground effects, instrument anomalies, and biological anomalies.
