Skinwalker Ranch
★ In-depth case: read the full dossier →A ranch of about 512 acres in Utah's Uintah Basin, near Fort Duchesne and the Ute reservation, with 'high strangeness' reports: lights, creatures, cattle mutilations. Robert Bigelow bought it in 1996 and, between 2008 and 2010, his company BAASS kept it under round-the-clock guard as part of its DIA contract. The report of the March-April 2010 investigation sits complete in Nodriza's archive (seventh PURSUE release, Oct 2026).
Skinwalker Ranch, previously known as Sherman Ranch, is a property of approximately 512 acres (207 ha), located southeast of Ballard, Utah, that is reputed to be the site of paranormal and UFO-related activities. Its name is taken from the skin-walker, a malevolent witch in Navajo legend.
What is claimedNeighbors interviewed by BAASS (over 25 people) describe a 'black shadowy figure', 'dog-like' creatures running on two legs, 'little people' and even an 8-foot maggot; one rancher said his dogs chased a 'Skinwalker' through his barbed-wire fence, where hair was collected. The report also logs an unexplained radio signal at 1210-1216 MHz.
Skeptical viewThe 2010 report itself deflates the physical side: DNA from the fence hair and two other samples gave the same dog sequence, and the lab says this, plus the dogs that roam the property freely, 'strongly argue' they come from the same animal as the control sample (not 100% definitive); the hair stuck to a red-stained rock was a raccoon's. The seven game cameras record nothing anomalous in the report, the 'biosensor' plants showed no mutations, the 1210-1216 MHz band is, per the same text, mainly military, and BAASS concedes that reports of moved coins at the ranch could be explained by guard fraud, trespassers or animals.
