Scientists investigating the enigmatic 'Skinwalker Ranch' in Utah were left baffled after a radar detector picked up an unexpected reading.
The team was searching for potential underground tunnels when they stumbled upon data that suggested something unusual.
Unexpected readings at Skinwalker ranch
The data, obtained from one of the rockets, seemed to indicate it was entering a hill on the ranch.
Interestingly, the readings appeared in the same location where an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) was previously observed seemingly entering the hillside.
Additionally, the researchers discovered further anomalies
In another instance, the researchers reported detecting a reading approximately 40 feet above their location, just moments after a rocket was launched on the ranch.
Given that the rocket ascended straight up into the air about a mile away from where the 'blip' occurred, the cause of this anomaly remains unclear.
Discussing these mysterious readings, one of the researchers stated, "We don't know what's causing the GPS errors but it is obvious that something has prevented us from getting accurate data on Skinwalker Ranch."
The reason behind Skinwalker Ranch being a hub for such mysterious occurrences is still a mystery, but legends associated with the land have persisted for years.
The legend of Skinwalkers
Skinwalker Ranch's reputation as a hotspot for mysterious activity is longstanding.
According to Utah.com, the term 'skin-walker' originates from Navajo legend and refers to malevolent witches capable of shapeshifting into animals or humans.
Skinwalker Ranch is situated in an area originally inhabited by the Ute Tribe. However, legend suggests that during a period of hostility between the Utes and Navajo, the Navajo unleashed skin-walkers upon their enemies.
However, this is not the first time a UFO has been spotted
Previously, NASA's Lunar Orbiter captured a surfboard-shaped UFO
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured images of a long, narrow object orbiting the moon, leading to speculation about its origins.
Some theories even suggest extraterrestrial involvement, believing that a mysterious, possibly surfboard-shaped UFO, is zooming across the moon's surface.
However, the reality behind this strange object is not as fantastical as some might think.
The object was not a UFO, but the Korean Aerospace Research Institute's (KARI) Danuri lunar orbiter, launched in 2022.
The LRO and Danuri share a nearly identical orbit, leading to close encounters.
Despite a brief exposure time (0.338 milliseconds), Danuri's incredible speed of 7,200 miles per hour caused it to appear blurred and stretched in the image, resembling a surfboard.
While the mysteries of Skinwalker Ranch and the moon continue to captivate both scientists and the public, ongoing research aims to uncover the truth behind these phenomena.
As investigations proceed, the blend of legend and science keeps the quest for answers as compelling as ever.
