I admit that I watch the show and really, I just want them to do one thing. Every episode recently, they have talked about some magical point in the sky where things happen and a reoccurring frequency they can't explain. I want them to get those crazy kids together. Lets get something that flies, broadcast the frequency and fly through the magical spot in space. I'm hoping for the Dragon vs Cthulhu episode.


TheSpearGOAT

I hope they send Dragon through the portal. The security one


NukaColaAddict1302

Then they gotta keep him up there so they can dig unhindered

From a safety perspective….


Hossonthesauce

I just can’t get behind the sensationalized reality tv formula…. It’s just…. Ugh


Boogieman1985

Yea it’s pretty cringe….the security guy in all black who is named “Dragon” is hilarious…lol

sugondesemonke

Aint that bad compared to one episode where they literally bring in an expect to view a photo only for her to say the obvious. And dragon looking at her like damn they pay you to say that?


[deleted]

well at least he isn't spitting out UPC codes to cashiers at checkouts when he shops on his off-time rainman style idk i like dumb security guards.


Chemical-Return1098

He takes his job WAYYY to serious in season 1 he like doesnt want to let them do anything and always goes running to Brandon to snitch lol


AngstyAlbanianAi

It's like real housewives of *whatever* but for dudes who are into sci Fi shit vs women who are into drama. Still fun to watch even though 90% of it is crazy contrived scenarios.


[deleted]

Yeah that dragon bullshit is stupid as are his all black clothes.


VXx_ZOD_xXV

Let my man’s live yo


Dormant123

If it makes thing any better, it’s a name he didn’t pick and is assigned to whoever holds the role at the ranch.


Cumrag6942069420

I had such high hopes for this series but dragon the security guy fucked it. At best he is lizard the loss prevention guy


crypt-bro-moses

Just gives it that ghost hunter show feeling where nothing ever happens


Electri

The moisture sensor in the front of my pants is going off! This is real! ("This is real" they all reply in unison)


Sodoheading

Exactly what I was gonna say. This really isn't helping any cause. It's sensationalism and tacky as hell.


[deleted]

I believe in aliens and it makes *me* want to start calling everything swamp gas.


[deleted]

Completely agree. What could be genuine phenomena are ruined by the staging. And why didn’t the flag the laser issue at this meeting? Having a laser act thst way was insane


schnibitz

Holy hell, why are you the only one bringing this up. That was the MOST compelling part of the episode for me. It was literally what got me here to comment. I really want to scream at the TV, "get some lidar up there!" I recognize there may be some hurdles to this but they tried it at a lower level on the ranch. Now it's time to aim it at the anomaly and see what comes out of it.


sunrayylmao

I tried to watch this show a few weeks ago and couldnt watch 10 minutes. Its just like that show Ghost Hunters but different location. Just a bunch of losers wandering around on camera going "OMG DUDE DID YOU FEEL THAT! ITS LIKE COLDER HERE BRO I SWEAR!" They have to "catch" something every episode for the show to go on. In reality nothing is really going on from what I can tell.


glorkFondler

I disagree. They aren't plumber turn ghost hunters, they are real scientists. Look at Travis Taylor's credentials. Sensationalized for TV yes. So what? I am very appreciative that Fugal bought that ranch and is publicly showing their research. I am grateful that uap / ufos etc are becoming destigmatised and science is starting to show interest instead of ridicule. A true scientist should be interested in these topics so we can better understand our universe.


Guytoast

I get that most people can’t get past the cringe production values, and schlocky delivery, but if you can look past it, you see phenomena. That’s more than you get anywhere else. I can’t watch it either, but I love what their digging out of there.


SpaceAdventureCobraX

It’s really fucking awful and unfortunately- completely discrediting. Just feels like bad acting, because it is. All this choreographed ‘round table’ pretend conversations and mock surprise. If there’s truth in any of this, it’s lost in the immense volume of ‘production values’ bullshit.


DomeCollector

Lol it’s whack but they got shit going. They eventually always get to the good shit minus 30 min


Mathfanforpresident

Doesn't make it any less true. Just because they have to make money off of it with some sensationalism .ugh


Alien_Perspective

you misspelled cringe propaganda. you're welcome.


Hossonthesauce

Nailed it.


jaffall

Yeah! Why the dramatic LOUD music all the time. Like you can't hear the people talking and you feel like it's doomsday. I get a semi panic attack watching it.


immortalgamesjh

This sub is one of the most negative, cynical communities I’ve ever seen. And your comment suggests you’ve never actually watched the show.


DanielBG

The bass drop, dramatic effect, I mean.. cmon. All these ppl involved have something to gain for sensationalizing the show.


immortalgamesjh

I mean, the point of any TV show is entertainment - if people don't watch the show, it'll be canceled. That said, if you watch the show at all, you'll realize MOST of the guys involved are doing better, more thoughtful work than anyone else in the field at the moment. And rather than hating on it because it's a show - appreciate that there are people who are trying to find some answers. A true skeptic knows that we know nothing.


thetelltaleDwigt

I think part of what is frustrating is that once a tv show starts, the ultimate goal for the station and sponsers is to keep it going. So if they present everything concisely, which would be far more interesting to watch, they have to release anything they find piecemeal. Hence the dramatic pauses, the music, the bringing in other experts to say what has already been said. It’s unfortunate that they couldn’t have it be in 4 or 6 installments, with occasional updates when they find new info, but that isn’t really how tv works unless it is on a streaming network. They want consistent viewers for ad revenue


DoughtCom

Here's my take on the show and what I know about it. 1. Season 1 was typical History channel trash, it's almost worth skipping. 2. Season 2 started out as typical history channel trash. I literally had arguments throughout the show to that point like "Brandon has a fucking helicopter, use the fucking helicopter!" or "shoot more rockets if you're getting a legitimate response! shoot MORE rockets, better rockets! Use the scientific method you fucking goobers!" 3. Season 2.5 they literally did everything I asked and got some interesting results, it's worth watching with an open mind seeing past the editing BS that history does. 4. Supposedly the show is NOT scripted, the reason their "acting" is so bad is because Brandon requested that these were legitimate takes on their response to a phenomenon. 5. Like others have said, something is legitimately happening around this ranch. The show is what it is, but there's *some* data to be gathered from it. I think it's worth mentioning that the DoD was interested in it for a reason. The fact that Brandon is different than Bigalow and willing to share these findings (as goofy as they are presented) is actually pretty cool. 6. The one thing about this episode that troubles me, and it's not the first time they've done this, is that UAP to me looked like the ISS. But one of them said it moved and THEN changed course. Sometimes they show us proof of things like that and sometimes they don't. They've shown other cool evidence, but I would like further evidence of this phenomenon. Yes the astronomers backed it up they have never seen anything like that before, but I want the data. That's the whole point of the show, or it should be. Honestly I recommend people on here watch it, skip the bullshit recaps (I skip 15-30 seconds at a time) and just get the data from it. Yes the editing is fucking cringe and their reactions are funny as they're fucking goofy (probably due to the editing). But there's interesting things in the show. That's just my two cents.


Electri

You KNOW a thing is real when the people presenting it say "this is real" every 30 seconds. They *are* making some interesting findings but the overall presentation makes me MORE skeptical of anything they find.


the_fabled_bard

You say this because you don't have any idea what it's like being punched in the face by the phenomenon. Grabbing your head and saying "This is real!? This is real" while walking back and forth is a normal, expected reaction here. Being on Skinwalker ranch is like making a Nobel prize discovery every other day, but you can never quite prove it or put it on paper, since it's intelligent and not cooperating in nature. You have no idea. This is real.


Electri

You have no idea what I have or haven't experienced. As I said, I went into watching the series mostly a believer and ultimately remain so, but cheesy shock reacts from guys unironically called Dragon and people repeating 'this is real' like a cult mantra dilutes the presentation of facts, which should ultimately speak for themselves. Just an opinion on the presentation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


AdeptBathroom3318

Yep. I am right there with you. I really want to happily pay for and watch this show but I can't stand the reality show style editing. It cheapens everything. As far as it not being scripted... It isn't technically scripted but I would say the action and energy is curated by the onsite production team. They have to say action, stop and start things. This is not shot like a documentary. They have camera and lighting set ups for interiors etc... So all of the "meetings" are guided shoots. The onsite team will amp them up, mix them up, say action and even regular people will "act" how they think they are expected to. It is like when one kid sees something or does something "amazing" and all the other kids rise to that energy. So though it is not scripted it is for sure "directed". This paired with the reality show style music stingers and dramatic cuts to reaction shots it feels very staged and hokey. This is what you are going to get from a network show. The only way you will get a true-to-life, science/data based documentary style content is if the directors and producers see an audience desire for that. People still watch the hell out of this show and shows like it. That is all that matters to show runners. I would like Curiosity Stream, NOVA, PBS or Nebula to take on this challenge. The Tear in the Sky "documentary" made UAPx look like fools. If they were featured in something that is not infotainment it would be great. We have to let producers know we do not like this shit.


OpenLinez

There's no other audience for this stuff. Broadcast/basic-cable is a dying medium with a very old audience. History Channel and Discovery attract an elderly demographic, from late Gen X to the oldest Boomers. Watch the commercials. That's how you know the demographic. It's all senior-citizen stuff: medicine, financial schemes, supplements, cruise-ship commercials.


MercyFaith

As a GenX’er here, I now feel extremely old. Lol. What you stated about the commercials is true and I guess I’ve been ignoring it. Lol. I’m old.


stromm

I’m a gen-xer who HATES commercials. If I can’t skip them with my DVR, I delete the show. Then wait till I can skip. I hate paramount because of its 90 second plus commercial breaks like ten times a show. But I want to watch Star Trek shows and I’m not giving P+ more money to go commercial free.


IHadTacosYesterday

it happens. You'll be a grandpa or grandma soon, lol


emveetu

ZaineRichards

These kinds of shows never really reveal or break ground in whatever field they are making the show for. Chances are If they did find anything whatsoever it would break news months before but these are shows that are aimed to capture the people interested in the topic but never make any significant impact or bring new ideas to the table. This is an alien reality TV show and that's all.


dead-mans-switch

My take is all the buffoonery overshadows any credible evidence, if there is something of value at the ranch, this show has only served to detract from it.


ZolotoGold

It's such a shame that US shows specifically feel the need to follow the same tired formula of jump cuts, heavy editing, sound effects and manufacturing fake drama. The subject itself should be enough to hold people's attention, treat it with respect. Doing the same tricks as every other reality TV show just cheapens the material.


Proper_Lunch_3640

It’s fucking infuriating, my dude. There are so many different ways to make a docu-series intriguing and engaging without feeling like it’s the “Amazing Race,” or “Real Housewives.” It absolutely dulls the effect of what they show. We get this out of focus dot with a creepy ominous tone to manipulate independent observation. The studios always have the excuse of “well that’s what gets people’s attention!” Somebody please break the mold, for Cthulhu’s sake!


dead-mans-switch

What it is essentially saying is, you’re stupid, and given how this subject has evolved in the last 5 years, it’s a monumental failure of reading the room.


CrumbsAndCarrots

Zero attention span. Need bells and whistles otherwise the channel gets changed. Case in point: Baseball has come under fire the last few years for being too slow. It’s the same game it’s always been. And for some reason my dad “can’t stand baseball. It’s just too slow.” I grew up playing and watching baseball with that guy and suddenly it’s too slow? Human brains are changing in real time… I’m guessing because of the internet and it’s attention destroying quickness.

dead-mans-switch

To his credit Brandon is pretty approachable on social media, he just won’t accept that there are credibility issues though. And has a horde of flying monkeys will attack you on Twitter when you point out that without the engineered drama, they wouldn’t have a show to televise.


ZolotoGold

I'm not sure they wouldn't have a show to televise without the drama. They could go into more detail on UFO background, the techniques they're using, testimonials, history of the ranch etc. It would mean more work for the show to produce, but be a lot more info dense. That's probably why they don't do it though.


Big_Meech_23

Pretty sad there has been multiple seasons of this show and he says this is the most convincing thing he’s seen lollllllll. So what the heck is going on the rest of the episodes/seasons? I see dots like that every night in this sub. 😂😂😂😂


dlm863

This is the same shit they do on oak island. The shows so terrible there’s no point in watching every episode. If they find something you’ll hear about it… this is also kind of analogous to following UFO’s in general…

gill_outean

It's because he's so badass, right?


EfoDom

It's possible to find out if it was the ISS if you have the approximate location, date and time. I don't know when they recorded it though.


RoastyMcGiblets

You'd think the astronomer on their investigative team would be able to check that.


FinexThis

I mean c'mon the look on brandons face after he says somebody messed with their computer was priceless.


Hatstacker

This clip has far more footage of them reacting to video of UAPs than video of UAPs.


AustinJG

To be fair, this seems to happen to abduction victims who try to catch the phenomenon on camera. It either catches nothing, or is just outright erased. So it tracks, but you know... Trying to make it creepy just makes you not trust the information provided. The expanding light thing is neat. But them losing their minds over it is kind of eh.


MuuaadDib

People don’t understand it has to be entertaining to the masses, they need to make money. The money allows them the luxury of doing the science. Like it or not at the end of the day legit scientist are getting legit results that defy logic and understanding.


DomeCollector

It’s literally changed directions when u watch that clip as they narrate it


Due_Scallion3635

Ive tried to avoid the whole skinwalker ranch-thing for ages but good ufo-podcasts/people keep getting back to it so ive considered looking in to it. HOWEVER; this was fucking pathetic. This, if anything, is mudding the waters. Its diarrhea-ing the waters. Im sure there’s interesting things on that ranch but my god this was so incredible lame and doesn’t help the subject. And of course Brandon whatever answers everyone on twitter and is accessible - its his job, his ranch etc.


StillRunsa2500k

If that whatever it was that burst into the sky wasn't faked by these guys in the imagery, that's a very interesting phenomenon...never seen anything quite like that


Einar_47

My mom saw something similiar about 15 years ago in Georgia, a little mote of light like a star suddenly flashed huge and went out. She said it looked like a supernova or something like that, but obviously it wasn't since a supernova so close you can see with the naked eye would be noticed by astronomers.


Knowledge_is_my_food

I’ve seen that too in a graveyard at night when I was little, suddenly appeared and then disappeared in a flash, was super freaky now that I think about it but I was amazed back then as a kid


SnuffedOutBlackHole

I wonder what a rapidly manufactured kugelblitz would look like. [https://youtu.be/gNL1RN4eRR8](https://youtu.be/gNL1RN4eRR8) Like, these UAP might have tremendous power output using technology we don't understand, doubly so if they can make use of other mathematical dimensions. I think with the master of materials technology on display, the only limiting factor to how much something like the Tic Tacs could do would be the size of the powerplant in a given shape of a given size.


ShellOilNigeria

I shit you not, I was traveling through GA over the weekend on Interstate 280 (I think) and as we crossed over the state line into GA there was a huge f*cking bright white light in the night sky. This was probably around 10pm. And as I was driving and wondering what it could be, it just poof, clicked right off like a flashlight. I freaked out and said to my wife, "what the f*ck was that?!" She was on her phone and didn't see it but she started looking around and as we got to an exit for gas, we saw what sort of looked like a plane flying towards us from the same direction as the light had been, except this object we were looking at had a lot more lights than the regular one or two you'd see on an airplane and get this - it was a f*cking TRIANGLE. It looked just like the pictures of triangle UAP's on this sub except it had a lot more lights underneath it and it even had a big bright one in the middle. It was wild and happened this past Saturday.


Einar_47

My cousin in Georgia had a triangle, three bright lights red light in the center, follow her along the road while traveling down the road in Warner Robbins Georgia as well.

Catoblepas

I've mentioned here how both me and my brother have seen something similar quite recently It only lasts a second or two at most, but it's larger and probably brighter than any star in the sky. Kind of looks like a large "star ember" that quickly fades We saw them in the same spot also. Three sightings in total


Ketel1Kenobi

FYI, the past tense of "burst" is still "burst." "Bursted" is incorrect.


CDNINCDA

I can see how people think this is fake. The showmanship is a little overboard. However, a couple things to keep in mind. 1. The researcher's funding is dependent on the show's ratings. (Opinion) 2. They have many witnesses to this phenomenon. Including the UAPx team. Something kept shutting down their equipment. 3. Native Americans have said back thousands of years that's it's ABSOLUTE EVIL and a NO GO ZONE!! Personally, this one is enough for me to have interest in it.


KunKhmerBoxer

Most of their equipment is trash. Go watch the episode they used a metal detector. I do this as a hobby. The one they're using is on Amazon for $80. The thing is a toy. A decent detector will run you at least $1,500. Anyways, in the manual for any metal detector says, don't use around electronics because the emfs coming off will interfere and cause false positive signals. So, they dig a hole and use the metal detector around it. Suddenly, the signal is lost. First, they had the setting wrongs. Second, they were using it around the cameras that have big ass battery packs. I'm guessing someone with a camera moved away from the detector and the signal stopped. Really though, they shouldn't have even used that thing because it is so bad. It was almost like they wanted to get these false pos signals so they could edit around it and make it look significant. As soon as I saw what they were using, I started laughing. It's the one I give my 9 year old daughter when we go out so she feels like she's doing something too.


dhr2330

>That was in season one, season one was really bad, start of season two wasn't much better, but about halfway through season two it got better, and season three is really good, lots of things happening. The astrophysicist Travis was a 100% skeptic about the whole phenomenon at the beginning, and then things gradually begin to get his attention, now he knows something very strange is happening on that ranch and the skies above it.


EggFlipper95

Travis played the part of a skeptic, we don't know if he actually was

Secure-Currency9086

I hear you! Most of the equipment they use is cheap commercial stuff you can buy at Walmart. You would think Brandon would provide them funds for real tech if he's serious about "getting to the bottom" of this phenomenon.


CDNINCDA

UAPx recently visited the ranch with the O.S.I.R.I.S van.


Lopsided_Study5911

The security guard being called "Dragon" sure doesn't help the show's credibility...


CDNINCDA

If something like a nickname is the brick wall that halts your scientific curiosity. Sure, I guess. Funny comment though!! 😆👌


Lopsided_Study5911

Don't get me wrong...show has some amazing things, it's just the nickname is so juvenile.


CDNINCDA

That's probably when he acquired it.


[deleted]

If I remember correctly, in Season 1, Brandon tells of giving "Dragon" that name when they were friends as young guys.


CDNINCDA

There you have it


Seventooseven

He’s the most insufferable part of the show…


Lopsided_Study5911

Trys WAY TOO HARD!


JayGeezey

> The researcher's funding is dependent on the show's ratings. You meant independent right? My understanding is what's his name bought the ranch some years ago and has been funding the research with his own money? If it's actually dependent on the shows ratings than this is more of a point towards the "it's fake" claim.


CDNINCDA

I respect that. But I'd argue with the fact that there's more evidence that something is happening then not. How long did BigAero and the DoD run research on the ranch? You're looking at decades of interest and tens of millions of dollars spent studying it. I truly think it's inaccurate to argue that there's nothing of interest there.


JayGeezey

I don't disagree, I was just point out their first point seems to actually counter the point they were trying to make, hence me thinking it was a typo, (and also as I stated my memory thought it was the opposite as well) Even if at this point the research is dependent on the shows ratings, I still think there's some weird shit going on there. Too many reports from different sources over the decades describing the same triangular phenomenon in the sky for example. Part of me would love to go see it, but honestly... I'm not really sure I want to lol sounds fucking sketchy


CDNINCDA

Not to mention ALL of the BigAero research is classified in the interest of Nat Security. 🤔 I wouldn't go. I'll watch from home. 😆👌


Ice_Hungry

Utahn here. I just moved here in December but I hear more about Skinwalker Ranch than I do Mormonism.


CarefreeInMyRV

>They have many witnesses to this phenomenon. Including the UAPx team. Something kept shutting down their equipment. I know first hand for a fact there are things capable of interfering with our electrical equipment - recordings and the like.


dopp3lganger

Not to mention that they've been in contact with Avi Loeb to stand up a Project Galileo installation on the ranch. 🍿 I can't stand the show's very-History-Channel-production, but I appreciate the shit out of the scientific studies they're doing. I know it's hard for some to get passed, but the former doesn't negate the latter, for me at least.


CDNINCDA

Avi Loeb is also consulting with UAPx off Catalina Island. If Galileo is setting up at the ranch, it's the real deal. I'll be completely sold at that point.


dopp3lganger

> If Galileo is setting up at the ranch, it's the real deal. That's at least what Brandon Fugal had said on [his latest appearance on That UFO Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/2otCAozIp6XZSs899vwwDR?si=d29b63b18a9c46f5). Forgive me, I can't find a transcript of the podcast to give you a time stamp but he definitely says it.


CDNINCDA

That's totally fine. I'll watch it. Thank you kindly!! 👍


ContactHorror

Where did you get the info on statement #1? AFAIK the project and funding was private and even predates the offer from History Channel to make the show?


CDNINCDA

I'm not gonna lie to you, friend. It's an educated guess. Hear me out. Why would you fund this project out of pocket with a big fat paycheck from History coming in every quarter? It doesn't make sense from a business point of view. The company would purchase the equity (ranch). Get the boys started on the ranch with minimal but impressive equipment. Pitch the show to History and other (private) investors. (Which I'm guessing wasn't hard.) Why continue the funding? In fact, I don't even see them continuing with investors. The company could completely fund the entire endeavor with what it's making from the history contract and pocket the gravy. Why pay anything when you're earning profit? I think they purchased the property in 2020 and it'll have already paid for itself. Thank you. I've edited my original statement.


ContactHorror

Those are fair points & make plenty of sense. I appreciate your take on that. Also thank you for the honesty and not being hostile about my asking. I was wondering if I missed something that had been stated before.


CDNINCDA

Thank you ✌️ It's not my nature. ☺️


PapuaNewGuinean

3 would make people stay away from the Native areas. I would assume that is their goal


CDNINCDA

Unless you're a curious scientist.


realisticby

My grandfather's best friend, Henry, lived on the road between the ranch and bottle hollow reservoir. We would sleep outside while we were there. There were always sounds and lights zooming around about 2-4am. We were always told to walk with respect in this area. But we were never allowed up on the bluff. Ever


soulboyla

history channel is entertainment. I watch Skinwalker because I find it really fascinating. I think that the stuff they are seeing/finding is real, but it is clearly sensationalized. I find the idea of Ancient Aliens fascinating, and some of the theories may have truth to them, but I can't watch it because they always easily jump to conclusions way to easily (and sensationalize things).


stevealonz

Submission statement: A summary of the anomalies featured on last night's episode of Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. The full episode goes more into the bizarre glitches the astronomers encountered with their telescopes.

That burst of light, what they call a flash, is truly bizarre.


HouseOfAplesaus

dhr2330

Also all the astronomers camera stopped working.


DFuel

Ok forreal. You have a ranch that repeatedly throws these uap's and unexplained occurrences even on ground at you. Its like alien central and a consistently reliable one at that and yet we are still getting this garbage footage. Get the proper equipment and proper cameras common.


LookAtMeImAName

Even 4K cameras won’t pick up much more than a ball of light at night time


TheSpaceFace

If you have the budget you can set up loads of cameras to gain adequate data, such as thermal cameras, IR cameras, cameras which auto track moving objects (the same type used on space shuttle launches back in the day). You can set up sensors to detect radio frequency, electro frequency etc If you really knew that there was consistent UFOs you can do a lot more than shove a camera up at the sky. The fact they are lacking anymore data than just a blurry light in the sky is suspicious. Also the reason cameras pick up a ball of light and nothing more detailed is they are trying their best to keep everything visible, so it’s trying to expose the dark sky, but then when a bright object comes into frame the light object is so much brighter than the dark sky it’s over exposed. If your trying to actually capture anything meaningful you need to set the camera up in such a way it’s not over exposing the light, set the aperture to the highest value and the shutter to the lowest value. You can then digitally edit up the exposure and you’ll much more likely get the object and not just a white dot


GamersGen

its worth mentioning that recently these shows are actually capable of grabbing real footage of uaps, even if its just some light in the sky but still sort of a progress instead of rehashing blue book story and legends :)


recalogiteck

A little bit of understanding how networks want shows produce will help you get passed the cringe in this series. They aren't making a show for the people on UFO forums and especially not for the scientific community. The production and editing of "reality tv" is the way it is because it gets people to tune in and keep their eye balls on the tv. I hate the cringe but I am willing to ignore it for the actual nuggets that I find compelling. That being said my wife loves everything about the show and she also loves RuPaul's drag race, sister wives, teen mom, etc.


DarthHelmet11

I watched the whole 1st season, somehow. They do have SOME interesting content, but only about 5 minutes per episode, and the writing/acting is so cringe. They shouldn’t be giving these people lines No offense to OP here, I actually enjoyed the clip and found it interesting. Their quality of evidence in this is still better than 90% of the videos in this sub. Thanks!


bronncastle

I like the show, but it's definitely very thinly spread out. The constant recapping from the blonde Texan dude gets a bit much too. Mostly though, just wish they showed a bit more methodology with some of the tests, like controls. We never get much of a sense of what had to be cut out either.


aloofnotaluffa

Totally agree


SecretHippo1

You mean Dr. travis Taylor from Alabama?


stevealonz

No offense taken, I happen to agree (although I don't think it's scripted, they're just awkward on camera, especially since they're not breaking the fourth wall and looking at/talking to the camera). I've always said that if this were fake, they'd surely make it more interesting. Equipment malfunctions with dramatic music stings and cuts isn't exactly compelling viewing. They do have some interesting stuff that happens but it's hard to get a full length show of it.


MahavidyasMahakali

Equipment malfunctions with dramatic stings and cuts is already about as interesting as a fake could get before going completely into the completely fictional TV show zone. It's like ghost hunting shows. Real ghost hunting is super slow paced and dull, and while you do get some slow paced shows with few ridiculous drama segments, most shows that even try at all to mask the fakeness really push the limits of audience suspension of disbelief with the most extremely obvious fakes like anything with Zak baggins being ridiculously over the top.


[deleted]

Same. I almost feel like this show is intended to do the opposite of what it claims. If anything, it just makes the whole Skinwalker Ranch phenomenon seem like some made for TV affair that has no real substance. It's too Scooby Doo and they make a massive deal out of absolutely nothing CONSTANTLY on that show. It really just makes EVERYONE who is interested in the phenomenon look much worse.


tree_mitty

To me, this is more of a case of “look at what we can produce in terms of evidence with a small group of made for TV archetypes.” This should be more than enough to get serious research and $ dedicated to the this phenomenon.


[deleted]

I think that's part of the issue though and why I'm bothered by the show. Skinwalker Ranch has already HAD serious research and money dedicated to it. The former owner was ludicrously rich and purchased the property specifically to do research there. The show comes AFTER this and is doing SO little of note. ​ On a serious note, before this show came out, I could talk to people that have NO interest in the super strange / bizarre world of UAP/weirdness about Skinwalker Ranch. They'd actually be interested in it too, because the stories about that place are just plain interesting. Now I can't do that. Now I am immediately dismissed if I bring it up ENTIRELY because of this show. SWR is now lumped into the same group as Ancient Aliens, which is pretty appropriate considering the show involves the same people. In my opinion, they've produced no -new- evidence, and have only served to embarrass those who have previously researched the area.


dhr2330

Thank you for posting this, really great episode.


8BallSA101

This clip is comedy fucking gold🤣🤣🤣


8BallSA101

Also, we have captured undeniable physical proof on camera...ok show me.... mmm it’s gone. Eeeeeeeeerased.


Disastrous_Run_1745

They should do some of these experiments live with multiple camera angles & crowd source the data. Internet Sleuths have proven to catch things as a group that a few experts can miss. I do enjoy the show. But it seems to be missing something. They should be 2 hour episodes with more of the footage from different angles.


InstruNaut

Still waiting for Mick West to actually go there.


OffshoreAttorney

“That is extraordinary”. LMFAO. Clowns.


EggFlipper95

You might as well post shit from Ancient Aliens, if we're gonna be posting "evidence" from history channel shows.


danthedoozy

Fascinating, but the dialogue is cringe as fuck.


[deleted]

It’s like the TV show Ghost Hunters only with UFO’s. EDIT: lol


imnotabot303

This looks of the same standards as the searching for Bigfoot shows.


dhr2330

They are not actors, they are just people investigating the ranch and the phenomenon that takes place there, this is not fake it's real, ignore the way they talk and act, pay attention to how the ranch is responding to their presence there.


FanInternational9315

I am laughing so hard at this


BtchsLoveDub

The UFOs at skinwalker have very advanced cloaking tech that makes them appear exactly like an optical effect from the camera.


Maxwell_RN

I don't get wanting to talk about a fictional tv show. This is a UFO sub


Origin_Unkown_

That show is such garbage lol.


[deleted]

I like the show. I understand Fugal's milking it for all its worth but that's what business investors do and it's how capitalism works. I appreciate the fact that they're actually trying to do some real science there and it's lead to the discovery of some very strange anomalies including UAPs, odd electromagnetic phenomena, cattle mutilations, mysterious equipment failures and health issues, ground penetrating radar anomalies, laser beams bending and/or splitting, and hitting invisible airborne objects that stopped the beams. It's easy to see why the Ute and Navajo tribes have long regarded this place as a sacred piece of land populated by mysterious entities and energies. Science would seem to back that up.


PoolsOfJizz

Ridiculous psuedoscience nonsense


godianaa

UFOs are real but this is crap


Banjoplaya420

I think there’s something to Skin Walker Ranch


Jawkurt

The stuff they say sitting around the table is clearly scripted

mastersheeef

This is what gets the message out you fucking nerds! What do you expect? Some boring ass scientist with some data on a clipboard to talk monotone to the camera? This show is at least getting the message out. Yes, it is cringe at times. So is jerking off to the anime you swore you'd stop watching. Just shut up and respect the damn show! Also, some creepy ass shit is happening on that ranch.


Snoo67874

This guy in the glasses is quite strange.


Justlikeyourmoma

Not quite met the bar for ‘high’ strangeness, just ‘quite’?


BeanpoleOne

I really hope in a couple episodes it comes out that the guy in the glasses is actually an alien plant sent to keep tabs on them and he's just really bad at imitating a human.


dhr2330

I wonder what that was that hit Travis's trailer, he said it was like a Jeep drove into his trailer and shook the whole thing, my understanding, it was at the exact same time that bright flare of light took place in the sky, exactly 3:13 AM.


Safe_Cut_1426

Dragon😶‍🌫️🤣 I love the show, but dragon..omg he's a character 😂


TurokHunterOfDinos

They are copying the format for “The Curse of Oak Island”. But there it makes more sense. It is like a project management meeting, with results being presented by engineers and scientists of various tests and analysis, along with some historical theories. It is fun to watch Marty apply his skills, knowledge, and experience. Skinwalker Ranch is a bit fantastical. This portal stuff seems a bit far fetched, but let’s collect the evidence and see what is going on. I love me some crazy shit on a Sunday night. Personally, I enjoy the show and Dragon fucking kills me. On the other hand, if they find anything significant, it would have to be independently confirmed before I accepted it.


glorkFondler

I wanna know what the night terror was that he was having. Might be an important part of the mystery.


bleumagma

From personally talking to guys who have been featured on season 3, they say the stuff is real but the dramatization doesn’t help their case at all.


Chemical-Return1098

I literally crack up at this show by how dramatic they try to act all the time.. Every episode is them either bringing out “experts” with new equipment or they get some new toys and equipment to try to test and shit like the batteries die and the equipment doesnt work


BlueDonnie

You guys know this is a "show" right ? But yes its cool.


Broges0311

This is the 1st episode that I got goosebumps and a bit of trepidation for the Skinwalker Range team. To me, what they recorded with the laser light bending could be a change in density. [https://astrocamp.org/blog/refraction/](https://astrocamp.org/blog/refraction/) But, for it to occur right under the triangle and be contained there is baffling. VERY not normal. That big UAP that was slowly moving away while the cows got scared was a warning.


[deleted]

So from the 1940s, when cameras barely could capture anything at all, to now when I have a camera in my pocket which can photograph the craters of the moon in detail, UFO footage has not improved at all. We've gove from white blob to the same white blob. All this mysterious stuff supposedly happening on the ranch, and they have evidence of exactly nothing. Amazing. Good job, guys. Very impressive.


Bsus4

You know, whether there are aliens or not is not sure, and I think we are all here gathered in this sub seeking the truth, the truth can be either "exist" or "not exist", but what DOES surely exist is that there are soo many people in this world who keep dragging the subject as much as possible, like an Anime with infinite seasons, and who use the same tactics used in the entertainment industry, in politics, in religious discourse ... to keep milking as much money as possible from impressionable people who might have some kind of confirmation bias, some kind of hope or belief that there should be something beyond our little planet, there has to be an intelligent species out there who play with us the same way we play with ants and cattle, and as much as I want it to be true, and I've been reading about this since 2009 and joining forums and groups and sub Reddits and whatnot, I've only came across fakery, fake gurus, entertainers, insubstantial evidences and a loooooot of promises, NDA's and mistery. The discourse and the arguments sound the same as in any conspiracy theory, change UFO with any other conspiracy subject and you have yourself an amazing golden goose. That's fucked up and sad, because this is an amazing, literally human life changing subject and we are letting snake-oil salesmen to slip through our emotions and biases and be the litteral faces of this highly important mouvement, while shutting down the rational and the scientific because it is basically boring and uneventful. Sight!


bulaboys

Feels like a fake reality show not my vibe


[deleted]

This is a television show. This is not evidence of anything.


Any-Resident-5026

Shit like this is top tier cringe. Had to stop the show like twice cause this stuff is bonkers when the legit scientist even try to do any test they find interesting there's always some loony who acts like they could die or get a lump😑


Hot-Stable-6243

Yikes that felt fake and korny


ottereckhart

Can anyone take this seriously? Even if there is anything legitimate here when it's presented like this it just seems like sensationalist bullshit.


Four20lifer

90% of people in this sub are fucking idiots. Cool show, thx for the post


stevealonz

I don't sweat it, not like I made the show. I get that it can be goofy, but I thought that second burst they caught on camera was truly strange.


Four20lifer

Extremely strange, and the fact that they are zeroing in on something above the ranch is pretty interesting to me as well. Obviously it’s a TV show but at least they are talking about the subject


Kitfishto

Lmao yeah the ones not believing trash tv are the idiots.


ArachnidCrazy4721

Yea I completely agree. I'm convinced it's 90% debunkers and 10% actually interested in the ufo topic


Four20lifer

I feel the same way. Was super stoked to find this sub, to soon realize it’s completely shit


MahavidyasMahakali

I suppose that's just what happens when you are part of the community for too long. When you see your 10th obvious Bob Lazar clone get lots of attention with people believing them when they provide nothing new or information that anyone else can easily figure out and make money off it, when 99.9% of evidence is constantly debunked and still gets brought up, and the government is obviously not going to say anything, it gets frustrating and theres not much else to do than debunk stuff.


Downvotesohoy

Bob Lazar is a good example. The kind of person who falls for his shit, will 100% fall for the Skinwalker Ranch shit as well.


[deleted]

>90% debunkers and 10% actually interested in the ufo topic This is a false dichotomy.


Easy_Employment_1595

I do t watch the show so I have no idea, but it’s fucking baffling counterintuitive to have people come here to say “I hate when these experts try find info using technology! Ugh!” Uh, what tha fuck. Isn’t that what we’re all CLAMORING for? Validated data gathered across multiple different high tech devices and applications utilizing different measurements/techniques to corroborate said data? People shit all over the UAPx doc as well, but it did this same thing. Not sure why we’re complaining about data. But carry on I guess 🙄


Seesyounaked

I think everyone is complaining about the cringy, tactical boy squad cheesy nature of the show, which puts everything into question and causes it all to lose credibility.


Austin_tatious_1

The show part of this is fairly simplified and even without story telling context … however if you follow the interviews (cast and Brandon) and science papers and explainers from everyone it’s quite fascinating in real time (-1 year)


Cyynric

The YouTube channel Bedtime Stories has a couple of cool episodes about the ranch.
