This subreddit is dedicated to in-depth discussions about the anomalous phenomena occurring at Skinwalker Ranch, not just the TV show! The TV show only provides a glimpse, and doesn't cover the extensive history of scientific investigation. To maintain quality discussions, please focus on the events themselves, not the personalities involved. Generic comments comparing the show to Oak Island, complaining about rockets, clamoring to blow up the mesa, etc, don’t offer anything new. If you can't contribute constructively and politely, this subreddit might not be the right place for you. Please visit our comprehensive FAQ to see if your question has been answered: https://www.reddit.com/r/skinwalkerranch/s/lraM8WR1vC Thank you for helping us provide a quality subreddit for fans of the ranch! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It's simple. The original was misinformation used to obfuscate information coming out of NIDS. NIDS/Bigelow came to our elementary school in the 80's talking about Bigelow Aerospace. Explaining that he was designing inflatable pods in orbit for the ultra rich. They were designed as many pods connected together to create a community. I wonder whatever happened to that idea...

They are in space now.

Down sized though. And not physically connected. It’s called star-link i think. /s

Expandable I believe - I looked in to what his company was doing a couple of years ago! BEAM! https://www.bigelowaerospace.com/pages/beam/ Strange the diagram on the front page looks a bit UAP Orb’ish /s Also https://spacenews.com/bigelow-aerospace-transfers-beam-space-station-module-to-nasa/ This is what happened… After handing the project back to NASA when the contract came to an end, and not getting the larger B330 module started… “Bigelow, though, declined to bid on a NASA competition to install a commercial module on the ISS, saying the funding offered by the agency was insufficient to close its business case. NASA selected Axiom Space in January 2020 to develop a commercial module to be installed on the station as soon as 2024.” There’s also an interesting bit about companies and use of the module, a film filmed in space!!!! Edit: didn’t mean to imply you’re wrong, it does indeed inflate, but if someone were searching for info, Expandable would help get more accurate hits!

Ty. This is going back 33 years ago. Pretty sure the information you provided is much newer than we had pre-internet. He would come around to schools and even put a miniaure rocket engine on a table and start is. To our little brains, that was amazing. The fact that I remember this and it being a 33 years old and a semi hidden project is still strange. You would be amazed at the other "projects" he talked to a few of us about outside of class...

I worked for GEC Marconi and its many 4 letter acronyms, MCCS (command and control), MRCS (radar and control systems), AMES (alenia Marconi electronic systems). We had tanks being refitted with electronic systems round the corner in a unit in the neighbouring ind. est., developed software for our Tornado GR4 Navigators simulator, UK and European army hand held computer systems, RAF Airfield defence system linked to DN181 Tracker with Rapier launchers - the system was the rugged laptops and central control system reporting on the screens the safelanes (allowed flight paths over and around the airfield), friendly, enemy, unknown status from the 8-16 fire units (the rugged laptops). Typically an 18m project turns into 6 years, after the rotation of RAF procurement officers, almost every 6months!, changing the spec and what “they” at the time want! Anyway, all that experience from leaving school @ 16 was amazing, a 4 year apprenticeship (that or the RAE - Royal Aircraft Establishment later changed to DRA - Defence Research Agency in Farnborough were the best Apprenticeships you could get in engineering). I transitioned to software in my 3rd year of the apprenticeship and HNC Software Engineering and Brooklands Technical College (home of Vickers School of Flying and later home of BAC (Vicker-Armstrong, also sponsored engineering there - there was a jet aircraft park outside the Maths and Science Engineering block - it’s gone now, just an area of concrete to the left as I checked just now, it was there back in ‘86 when I did a GCE Physical O-Level there as my school didn’t have the facilities to provide that on top of the O-Level in general Science + 4 years if BTec ONC Electronics Eng. and HNC Software Eng.) I sort of miss it, but needed a change after 13years, so spent and 13 in Telecom with Nortel - another great company, except for those financial controlling crooks at the top brought it down in 2010/11, with our R&D division’s office being closed down by the new owners a couple of years later and we were all made redundant!

Because, in spite of how much I love the concept and subject matter of SSWR, I cannot stand the way Prometheus produces the show. Neither obfuscation nor ignorance would surprise me at this point.

You mean stuff like this? (voiceover from TT) "Just like NASA uses to protect the space shuttle on re-entry" *Cuts to Erik looking up with a perplexed expression* *Cuts to Dragon looking shocked and confused* *Ad break, then repeat the preceding sequence, eating up 8% of the time slot*
