1 00:00:02,830 --> 00:00:08,390 [Music] 2 00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:09,270 hello 3 00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:12,240 and welcome to episode number 19 of the 4 00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:14,240 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:18,560 as always i'm your host exo academian 6 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:20,720 when we look back at the history of the 7 00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:22,720 topic collectively referred to 8 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:25,840 as high strangeness it's clear that 9 00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:28,720 for a long time various phenomena were 10 00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:31,599 studied as distinct fields of inquiry 11 00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,399 and often so-called ghost hunters 12 00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,000 bigfoot investigators 13 00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:38,719 and ufo researchers were distinct groups 14 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:39,600 of people 15 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:43,520 who kept to their own lane so to speak 16 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,280 as we've discussed previously on the 17 00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:47,200 point of convergence podcast 18 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,520 over time it has become clear that this 19 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:51,840 is likely not the best way to approach 20 00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:53,120 these topics 21 00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,039 because there appears to be a repeated 22 00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,280 overlap between them 23 00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,359 for instance a person who experiences 24 00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:02,160 one of these kinds of uncanny encounters 25 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,239 is much more likely than an average 26 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:05,760 random individual from the general 27 00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:06,960 population 28 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:14,469 indeed one of the most useful predictors 29 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,759 of someone experiencing 30 00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,240 any form of high strangeness whether 31 00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,080 that be a ufo sighting 32 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:22,240 contact with non-human intelligence a 33 00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,520 near-death experience 34 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,759 remote sensing or an out-of-body 35 00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:26,880 experience 36 00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,200 of the phenomena from this list 37 00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:33,920 that tells us that clearly some people 38 00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,400 seem 39 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,799 hardwired to perceive and experience a 40 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:38,880 broader bandwidth of reality 41 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:42,399 than the general population but uniquely 42 00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:42,960 gifted 43 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,520 and sensitive individuals only represent 44 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,040 one of the ways that we see 45 00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,200 overlap between these various kinds of 46 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,439 contact modalities 47 00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:53,520 another fascinating data point that has 48 00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:55,920 emerged from a cross-disciplinary study 49 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,560 of various forms of high strangeness is 50 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:00,719 that certain particular locations 51 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:03,600 seem more prone than others to be hosts 52 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:04,159 to such 53 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,510 there are numerous examples of such 54 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:11,440 places around the world 55 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,520 the uinta basin of utah sedona arizona 56 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:17,520 new zealand's kaikoura mountain range 57 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:18,640 region 58 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,200 the egyptian pyramids the united 59 00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:23,280 kingdom's stonehenge 60 00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:25,920 new york's hudson valley the bermuda 61 00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:26,720 triangle 62 00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:29,840 and many more often these locations are 63 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,840 not only known for just one particular 64 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:33,599 kind of paranormal encounter 65 00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,319 but several this has led some to 66 00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:38,319 postulate that such places may be 67 00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,879 paranormal through ways of some kind 68 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:43,040 where different realities can and do 69 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,400 sometimes overlap 70 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:47,519 and interact this hypothesis suggests 71 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,280 that it's not necessarily that different 72 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,879 entities and phenomena 73 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,519 are related to each other per se but the 74 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,599 different entities are simply using the 75 00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:57,680 same interdimensional portals 76 00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:04,309 indeed these other world gates as we 77 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,599 might call them 78 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:07,599 might not just be the bridge between two 79 00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,840 worlds but a nexus point joining 80 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:11,519 together multiple worlds 81 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,480 and or parallel realities at least 82 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,720 that's one possibility 83 00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,560 another possibility is that what we 84 00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,000 observe in these porous 85 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,560 thin places between worlds is one 86 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,159 singular phenomenon 87 00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,400 that knows how to disguise itself in 88 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,400 many forms 89 00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,400 the existence of such portals is a 90 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:32,799 mind-boggling notion and yet the data 91 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,280 certainly points in this direction 92 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,519 and it makes one wonder what might be 93 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,760 possible if we could gain access to 94 00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:40,720 these through ways 95 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,799 ourselves are these locations the exit 96 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,000 points for wormholes 97 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,239 long ago established by non-human 98 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:50,080 intelligences from elsewhere in our 99 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:50,959 universe 100 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:55,439 and what does the existence of such 101 00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:56,000 portals 102 00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,120 suggest about ultimate reality 103 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,360 these and other fascinating questions 104 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,799 are the topic of this 105 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:04,879 the 19th episode of the point of 106 00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:14,000 convergence podcast 107 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:16,880 as we begin today's episode like last 108 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,600 week 109 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,680 i would just like to ask you to keep an 110 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,720 open mind 111 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,960 about this notion that there may exist 112 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:25,280 portals between worlds 113 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,520 i know that sounds far out it sounds 114 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:29,199 like science fiction 115 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,120 and yet when one looks at a place like 116 00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:33,120 skinwalker rants for instance which has 117 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:34,240 been studied 118 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,800 extensively this certainly seems like a 119 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:38,000 leading hypothesis 120 00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,320 based on the evidence at hand 121 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,479 now in the introduction to today's 122 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:46,000 episode i mentioned 123 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:48,320 numerous locations around the world that 124 00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:49,680 are known for 125 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,479 a high occurrence of high strangeness 126 00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,400 but what we're going to focus on today 127 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,560 is skinwalker ranch and not just 128 00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:58,560 skinwalker ranch but the entire uinta 129 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,120 basin 130 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,320 of utah the entire area is known for 131 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:04,320 paranormal phenomena and has been known 132 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:07,360 for that for a very long time 133 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:09,199 skinwalker ranch may not be the most 134 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,720 paranormal place on earth 135 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:12,960 but it is the most studied and that's 136 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,590 and to be clear when i say studied i 137 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:21,680 don't just mean stories passed down from 138 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,880 person to person 139 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,120 and generation to generation although 140 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,039 that's certainly part of the picture 141 00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:29,360 at skinwalker ranch and the general 142 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,039 uinta basin 143 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:33,360 now i'm talking about full on scientific 144 00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:34,320 studies 145 00:05:39,909 --> 00:05:37,520 done by well-equipped science teams 146 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:39,919 in fact there's been not one but two 147 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:40,720 well-equipped 148 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:43,600 science teams on hand at skinwalker 149 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,320 ranch 150 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,759 and they have conducted numerous 151 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,000 experiments over time 152 00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,240 geared to testing various hypotheses 153 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:52,400 this is why this is such a significant 154 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:52,960 place 155 00:06:02,309 --> 00:06:00,309 now in today's podcast episode we don't 156 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:02,319 have time to go into the long history of 157 00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:03,360 the area 158 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:06,319 but very quickly the term skinwalker is 159 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:06,960 a part of 160 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,840 navajo culture and beliefs and basically 161 00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:11,600 the story goes that the ute 162 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,639 who are the indian population there now 163 00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:16,880 believed that the navajo put a curse on 164 00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:17,919 them the curse 165 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,039 is the skinwalker now in terms of the 166 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,880 area and who has lived there over the 167 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:24,400 last several decades 168 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:26,319 the sherman family owned what was known 169 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,759 as sherman ranch 170 00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:29,840 then robert bigelow purchased from the 171 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:32,720 shermans and he established nids 172 00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,800 in 1995 and then brandon fugle most 173 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:38,639 recently is a real estate mogul who 174 00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:45,350 and in reference to the two science 175 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,440 teams that i mentioned earlier 176 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:49,520 robert bigelow set up the first one that 177 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:51,919 was nids which is the national institute 178 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,680 for discovery science 179 00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:55,599 and then brandon fugle who purchased the 180 00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,800 property from him 181 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,880 who also has a great interest in the 182 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,560 paranormal 183 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,400 then set up his own science team and 184 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:04,479 they've been conducting investigations 185 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,759 ever since now 186 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,280 if you've been tuning in to the point of 187 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,759 convergence podcast for a while now 188 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,000 you know that the premise we're going 189 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:17,039 with is that ufos are part of a larger 190 00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:18,160 phenomenon 191 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:20,319 that the contact modalities are all 192 00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:22,160 related that they are like spokes in the 193 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:23,360 wheel 194 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:25,599 of one central phenomenon and that 195 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:26,960 perhaps consciousness 196 00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:30,000 is the bedrock that connects them all 197 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:31,680 and skinwalker ranch is certainly a 198 00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:33,680 fascinating case in point when it comes 199 00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:36,319 to this particular way of seeing things 200 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:38,720 because ufos are just the beginning of 201 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,510 now ufos are certainly part of the 202 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,440 picture at skinwalker ranch 203 00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,440 they've been observed there many times 204 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,120 and even recently 205 00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:53,680 and all sorts of different kinds as well 206 00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:54,720 everything from 207 00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:58,160 block-like rvs up in the sky 208 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:01,280 to your typical silvery saucer shapes 209 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:04,319 to orbs and everything in between but 210 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:05,919 again that's just a small 211 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,960 aspect of the total phenomena noticed at 212 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,080 skinwalker ranch 213 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,280 over time and we have to consider 214 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:15,360 all of the data to do justice to this 215 00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,639 phenomenon 216 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:18,319 if we're to legitimately generate 217 00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:21,120 hypotheses we can't gloss over data 218 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:24,840 we can't exclude data just because it's 219 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:27,599 inconvenient 220 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,160 now as i've stated before i certainly 221 00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:32,320 understand the temptation to exclude 222 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:33,839 certain bizarre 223 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:36,240 and absurd elements that are observed 224 00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:36,880 there 225 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,800 because the mainstream culture will not 226 00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,479 take it seriously 227 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:43,039 but that's the problem if we stick to 228 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:43,519 only 229 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:46,080 observing and documenting even more 230 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:46,959 importantly 231 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,120 that which fits with mainstream 232 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:51,120 perspectives we're not likely to make 233 00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:52,320 any headway because 234 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:54,240 clearly this is telling us something 235 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:55,600 about reality that is 236 00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:58,720 new that breaks out of the typical 237 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,760 paradigm 238 00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,120 that's why it's so important that we 239 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,800 have to document 240 00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,800 accurately everything that's seen and 241 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:06,160 generate hypotheses 242 00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:12,870 now with that rant for honest science 243 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,519 and 244 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,760 looking at the entire data set let's 245 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,800 move on 246 00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,880 let's now discuss some of the phenomena 247 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:20,720 that have been noticed at the ranch 248 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,680 over time and as we begin i'd like to 249 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:25,360 give a shout out to george knapp 250 00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:28,000 much of this research is his he's been 251 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:28,959 on site 252 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,440 many times and over years collecting 253 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:33,680 this evidence 254 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,480 let me give you one example the son of 255 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,080 the family that lived there 256 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:40,640 he and his friends moved a huge court of 257 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:42,480 wood from one part of the property to 258 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,320 another 259 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:46,320 then they went inside to do something 260 00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,519 they came back 261 00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:49,519 and the entire court of wood had been 262 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:51,600 moved back to its original location 263 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,600 but not exactly in the same orientation 264 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:55,360 but it had been moved back 265 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,120 so not only did it take them a long time 266 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:59,279 to move all this wood from one location 267 00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,240 to the next 268 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:01,839 but when they went back outside the 269 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:04,800 entire court of wood had been moved back 270 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:07,839 no one else was there to do it 271 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,000 another example now this was the first 272 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,320 day on the ranch for the family 273 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,240 and this gives you an idea of how 274 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:17,040 shocking this would be 275 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,079 one day as the story goes they were 276 00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:22,320 at the ranch and they noticed a very 277 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,440 very large 278 00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:25,360 wolf-like looking dog or some sort of 279 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:26,720 creature like that 280 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:29,200 in the distance this creature got closer 281 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,480 and closer 282 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:33,040 and was quite docile with them in fact a 283 00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:35,120 couple of them even stroked its fur 284 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:37,279 it was very large sort of came up to the 285 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:38,160 chest of 286 00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:41,360 the father of this family 287 00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:43,519 anyway what eventually happened is this 288 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:44,720 wolf-like creature 289 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:47,360 caught sight of one of the calves and 290 00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,120 reached in and try and grab this thing 291 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:51,279 by its jaws and pull it out 292 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,040 they ended up shooting at this creature 293 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:55,440 multiple times six times i think 294 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,519 and eventually even after flesh popped 295 00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:00,240 out it still didn't look that perturbed 296 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,959 and eventually it sort of trotted off 297 00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:05,120 what's strange is they followed it 298 00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:06,640 and they there was still snow on the 299 00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:08,399 ground at the time and 300 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:10,160 they followed it out tried to follow the 301 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,600 tracks of this creature 302 00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:14,079 and the tracks just ended in the snow 303 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,519 just stopped 304 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:17,120 and the thing was no longer there they 305 00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,640 didn't see where it went 306 00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,640 it's almost like it just disappeared or 307 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:22,480 was taken away or something 308 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,160 very strange now what's even stranger is 309 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:29,600 when later on the scientific team showed 310 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,000 the family each individually different 311 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,760 pictures of different kinds of wolves 312 00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,120 and dogs 313 00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:37,279 every family member picked out this one 314 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:38,160 particular 315 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,360 photo and it was of a direwolf which is 316 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,120 a huge wolf that went extinct 317 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:46,079 10 000 years ago i'll let you chew on 318 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,350 now what was also shocking and actually 319 00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:54,959 traumatizing to the family 320 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:57,760 was cattle mutilation they lost multiple 321 00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:58,560 cattle 322 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:02,880 of this phenomenon 323 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:05,440 it's hard to know who's doing it and how 324 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:07,360 it's connected to ufos exactly or 325 00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,800 non-human intelligence 326 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,399 but it does seem to be part of the same 327 00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:12,399 phenomenon and it certainly has been 328 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:13,120 noticed 329 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:14,959 and happened multiple times at 330 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,440 skinwalker ranch 331 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:19,120 sometimes people would hear what sounded 332 00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:21,120 like underground machinery and again 333 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:23,120 this is a very remote ranch out in the 334 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:24,320 middle of nowhere 335 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,399 and when no farm equipment was being 336 00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:28,000 used they would hear what sounded like 337 00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:29,360 underground machinery 338 00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,639 very strange in fact george knapp 339 00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,079 and others have brought up remote 340 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,639 viewers and they actually saw what they 341 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,880 perceived as underground military bases 342 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:39,839 of some kind 343 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,279 that this was perhaps making this 344 00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:43,200 machinery sound 345 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:45,360 but the area was never dug up to 346 00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:53,030 now let's discuss another harrowing 347 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,959 encounter and this involved 348 00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:57,040 two creatures very different creatures 349 00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:58,880 in the same incident 350 00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:01,200 one time it was noticed over by a 351 00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:02,800 section of trees 352 00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,720 two creatures were noticed the one below 353 00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:06,320 was very round 354 00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:08,560 and looked like a giant round hair ball 355 00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,360 basically 356 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:11,360 almost like a bear but very round that 357 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,480 kind of fur 358 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:14,560 and above this up in the tree we're 359 00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:15,600 notice two 360 00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:18,560 huge eyes they are about the size of a 361 00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:19,279 forearm 362 00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:22,560 each and they ended up shooting at both 363 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:23,440 creatures 364 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:25,040 the one below was hit and then 365 00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:26,720 apparently just seemed to 366 00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:30,079 pop into non-existence above 367 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:32,240 the other creature was also hit and it 368 00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,000 jumped out of the tree 369 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,920 and in fact when they went over to that 370 00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:37,920 area there was still snow on the ground 371 00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:40,320 they found a huge what looked like talon 372 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:40,959 track 373 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,440 in the snow but it was huge it looked 374 00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:45,760 like the size of basically a raptor 375 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:48,880 like a dinosaur era raptor there on the 376 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,470 to be clear this was at night time and 377 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:56,320 after finding this talon track 378 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:58,880 they tried to scan the entire area for 379 00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:00,560 any sign of either of these creatures 380 00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:02,720 but none was found 381 00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:04,480 there have also been incidences 382 00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:06,959 involving birds that were quite strange 383 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:09,199 modern birds though not giant dinosaur 384 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,000 birds 385 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:12,240 for instance a flock of canada geese 386 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:13,680 were coming over and they were in your 387 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:14,399 typical v 388 00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:16,720 formation but when they came over the 389 00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:18,399 ranch they suddenly broke up 390 00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:19,920 their formation almost like they were 391 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,160 disoriented and flew around the ranch 392 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:24,560 basically 393 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:26,480 it's interesting because in brandon 394 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:27,680 fugle's team 395 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,440 they have found evidence that there may 396 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:31,360 be some sort of anomaly well up in the 397 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:31,760 air 398 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:33,760 above the ranch in fact that's even been 399 00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:35,199 one of the hypotheses 400 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:37,279 that perhaps the anomalous source is 401 00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:43,750 now various other kinds of strange 402 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:45,279 humanoid creatures have also been 403 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:46,320 noticed 404 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:47,920 one is kind of like a predator-like 405 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,680 creature and when i say predator-like 406 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,279 i'm referring to the movie 407 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,920 where the being is mostly transparent 408 00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:55,680 like you can see the background behind 409 00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:56,079 it 410 00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:01,279 also strange shadowy figures have been 411 00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:02,399 noticed in and around 412 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:05,199 a couple of the different homesteads and 413 00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:06,800 we mentioned the court of wood that's 414 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:07,839 just one of many 415 00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:10,560 poltergeist-like activities that are 416 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:11,600 often on hand 417 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:17,030 now some of those accounts may stretch 418 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:18,880 your ability to comprehend 419 00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,519 or to believe but there are some 420 00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,920 accounts that are even stranger still 421 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:25,839 and when george knapp recounted this one 422 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:27,519 particular incident you could tell he 423 00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:29,360 was struggling with it because it sounds 424 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,720 so absurd but again we can't ignore this 425 00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:34,560 and to george snap's credit he didn't 426 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:37,199 ignore it because absurdity seems to be 427 00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:37,600 part 428 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:39,920 and parcel with this phenomenon the 429 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:42,480 question of why we can get to later 430 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:43,839 but let me first give you this 431 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:45,920 particular account 432 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:48,399 one time it was noticed that two six 433 00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,199 foot tall 434 00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:51,839 figures were standing in trench coats 435 00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:54,160 smoking cigarettes no less 436 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,759 when they went to confront these two 437 00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:57,839 figures they turned around 438 00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:00,959 to reveal dog-like faces 439 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:03,360 that's right six foot tall figures in 440 00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:04,320 trench coats 441 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:08,160 smoking cigarettes with dog-like faces 442 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:11,120 incredibly absurd right it stretches our 443 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,480 belief to the max 444 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:15,519 and beyond what's even stranger is even 445 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:17,199 beyond skinwalker ranch 446 00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,480 these kind of creatures have been 447 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,560 noticed elsewhere and are part of the 448 00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:22,800 ufo phenomenon literature 449 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,120 again why is a different question what 450 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:27,120 it means is a different question 451 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,759 we have to begin with reckoning with and 452 00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:31,040 making note of this 453 00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:34,079 aspect of the data no matter how absurd 454 00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,519 it is 455 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:39,279 i should also point out that it's clear 456 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:40,800 that these were not just a couple of 457 00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:42,800 jokers a couple of human beings 458 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:45,680 wearing dog masks when they went to try 459 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,399 and investigate 460 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:48,320 these things disappeared and i think 461 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:50,000 from the documentation 462 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:51,920 the cigarettes were left behind but no 463 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:53,360 trace of these creatures 464 00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:55,440 these humanoid figures with dog-like 465 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,639 faces very strange 466 00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:00,240 when we consider the evidence from 467 00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:02,560 skinwalker ranch it should also be clear 468 00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:02,959 that 469 00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:04,720 this doesn't happen all the time it's 470 00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:06,160 not like if you go to the ranch 471 00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:08,480 within a few minutes or a few hours or 472 00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:10,160 even necessarily a few days 473 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:11,360 you're going to run into these 474 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,199 paranormal phenomena 475 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,520 in fact george knapp has accounted being 476 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:16,880 there several times 477 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,600 and not noticing anything it's over time 478 00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,280 that these things happen 479 00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:23,199 some people seem to stir up activity 480 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:24,880 more than others 481 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:26,319 there are other kinds of activity that 482 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:29,360 seem to stir up this phenomenon 483 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,200 that includes bringing strangers to the 484 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:33,200 ranch making noise 485 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,000 and particularly digging into the ground 486 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:38,480 apparently causes something to rise up 487 00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:44,310 now before moving on to an analysis of 488 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,039 this data 489 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,679 i'd like to recount one more story and 490 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:49,520 it has to do with ufos but 491 00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:51,200 not like a ufo you've heard of before 492 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,960 probably 493 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:54,799 one time they noticed what looked like a 494 00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:56,480 winnebago's lights or something like 495 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:58,880 that a large vehicle rv like vehicle 496 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,960 coming down the road there's only one 497 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:03,520 road into this ranch by the way 498 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:04,880 and they were kind of annoyed thinking 499 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,799 how did someone get out here 500 00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:08,480 must be lost let's go give them 501 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,960 directions help them turn around 502 00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:12,960 what happened was as they went out these 503 00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:14,000 lights got closer 504 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:16,400 and closer and then suddenly the lights 505 00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:17,120 started going 506 00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,440 up and up and up went into the sky 507 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:23,440 well above their heads thousands of feet 508 00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:26,160 and then whoosh they were gone 509 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,160 very strange looked like something on 510 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:29,679 the ground at night 511 00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:32,559 then went up into the air size of an rv 512 00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:33,200 and then 513 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:38,870 and this is just some of the high 514 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,720 strangeness that's been documented at 515 00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,200 the ranch but clearly you can see 516 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:45,520 there is a plethora of paranormal 517 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,679 activity here 518 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,520 now let's move on to the psychological 519 00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:52,000 effects that are on display at the ranch 520 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,039 as well 521 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:55,440 and as we know and as you probably heard 522 00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:56,080 me discuss 523 00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:58,720 many times before on this podcast 524 00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:01,440 psychological psychic effects are a huge 525 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:03,919 aspect of the phenomenon in fact some 526 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:05,919 people like jacques villa for instance 527 00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:08,799 think it's central to the phenomenon and 528 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,080 that's certainly been 529 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:12,559 the case here at skinwalker ranch as 530 00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:13,919 well 531 00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,400 one time it was noted that ufos were 532 00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:18,480 seen up in the sky at night 533 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:20,640 and what's strange is as the people went 534 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:22,000 outside to look 535 00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:25,039 they suddenly felt giddiness like a real 536 00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:27,520 euphoria come over them almost like a 537 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:28,640 laughter as well 538 00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:31,120 that it felt like these ufos themselves 539 00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,160 were directly 540 00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:34,720 impacting their consciousness making 541 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,880 them feel this that somehow their brain 542 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,400 waves were being manipulated 543 00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:40,320 causing this reaction there was nothing 544 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:42,080 in the environment to make them react 545 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:42,720 this way 546 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,870 and there was more than one of these 547 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:50,240 kinds of occurrences 548 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:52,160 on a completely different occasion 549 00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:54,480 something else was noticed up in the sky 550 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:56,320 and this particular object caused them 551 00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,240 to have an opposite reaction 552 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:00,640 that they actually were fearful and they 553 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:02,000 felt fear come over them 554 00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:03,360 again they didn't feel like this was 555 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:05,600 their natural reaction it felt like 556 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:08,240 their cerebral cortex was being directly 557 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,070 now as a quick aside here i want to 558 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:15,840 remind you that this is not 559 00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:18,240 unscientific individuals reporting these 560 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,120 events 561 00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:22,480 documented by 562 00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:25,520 the science teams themselves people who 563 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,320 are 564 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:28,799 trained to be objective in how they 565 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:29,360 observe 566 00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:32,640 and record things now let's discuss 567 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:34,159 something to do with portals 568 00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:35,280 specifically 569 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:38,000 in the introduction i mentioned that the 570 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:40,400 idea that skinwalker ranch may be 571 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:43,360 a hot spot because it is a portal 572 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:45,679 between worlds or different dimensions 573 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:52,149 now not only are interdimensional 574 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:54,320 portals an intriguing hypothesis to 575 00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:55,600 potentially explain 576 00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:58,400 the various phenomena noted at the ranch 577 00:21:01,430 --> 00:20:59,679 but there were actually several 578 00:21:01,990 --> 00:21:01,440 occasions where people noticed what 579 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:02,000 looked like 580 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,880 portals opening up on more than one 581 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,080 occasion for instance 582 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:08,880 up in the sky in broad daylight a large 583 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,799 orange circle would appear almost like a 584 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:12,000 second sun 585 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:13,679 and when they looked closely they could 586 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,320 see through this like it was a hole 587 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:19,520 and behind that a different sky 588 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:21,840 yes indeed and on more than one occasion 589 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,360 it was even noted that 590 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:25,200 something flew out of this hole 591 00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:27,520 apparently into our reality 592 00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:29,520 sounds bizarre but this was what was 593 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,120 observed 594 00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:33,120 another time about three to four feet 595 00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:35,360 off the ground a small very bright 596 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,720 circle was noticed 597 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,880 and this circle would expand until it 598 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:40,400 was about three or four feet 599 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:43,200 in diameter and it looked almost like a 600 00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:45,360 tunnel like it was three-dimensional 601 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:48,000 even stranger a humanoid creature was 602 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,400 seen 603 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,320 elbowing its way out of this and 604 00:21:56,830 --> 00:21:52,880 stepping out into our reality 605 00:21:58,549 --> 00:21:56,840 again this was noted and seen at the 606 00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,559 ranch 607 00:22:01,590 --> 00:22:00,720 now even as i read those notes out loud 608 00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:01,600 to you i 609 00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:04,080 recognize how bizarre that sounds it 610 00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:06,000 sounds like science fiction 611 00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:07,919 a huge majority of the population would 612 00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:09,039 dismiss this 613 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:11,200 outright they would say it's impossible 614 00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:12,080 it sounds like 615 00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:15,280 a hallucination or someone with too much 616 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,720 imagination 617 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:18,880 but i want to remind you that science 618 00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:20,400 teams two of them in fact 619 00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:22,799 have been on the ground over years 620 00:22:26,549 --> 00:22:23,440 observing 621 00:22:27,029 --> 00:22:26,559 and documenting this phenomenon and they 622 00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:27,039 focus 623 00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:29,760 on science they run experiments they 624 00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:30,799 adjust variables 625 00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:33,440 see how that changes the behavior they 626 00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:35,600 basically treat it like a paranormal 627 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,120 living lab 628 00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:39,120 and they try and exclude other factors 629 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:41,520 that may cause people to hallucinate for 630 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,480 instance 631 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:44,240 they have looked into geomagnetic 632 00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:45,520 anomalies they've looked into 633 00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:47,600 psychedelic plants that perhaps 634 00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,679 are perfuming in the area and causing 635 00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:51,039 people to hallucinate 636 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:53,200 but they have found nothing to explain 637 00:23:00,310 --> 00:22:58,149 at least nothing that would explain the 638 00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:00,320 phenomenon according to the parameters 639 00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:02,559 of mainstream scientific materialism 640 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:04,480 that is 641 00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:06,159 now let's move on to discussing the 642 00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:08,000 notion of the trickster 643 00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:10,400 now the trickster is a figure that is 644 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:12,159 brought up when we talk about skinwalker 645 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:12,880 ranch 646 00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:15,360 because of the psychological trickery 647 00:23:19,909 --> 00:23:17,760 that seems to be on display 648 00:23:22,070 --> 00:23:19,919 the notion of the trickster is common in 649 00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:22,080 various native american traditions and 650 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:23,520 various shamanic traditions 651 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,919 around the world the trickster is an 652 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:27,200 archetypal figure 653 00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:34,149 now when some people talk about the 654 00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:36,080 trickster they think about it in terms 655 00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:36,960 of a joker 656 00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:39,039 that is just using psychological 657 00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:40,720 manipulation to play with us 658 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:43,200 for no apparent reason other than it 659 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:45,840 enjoys the process perhaps 660 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:47,760 but there has been some deeper analysis 661 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:49,840 suggesting that perhaps the trickster is 662 00:23:53,110 --> 00:23:52,000 a manifestation of our own collective 663 00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:53,120 subconscious 664 00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:55,760 or perhaps of the life force itself 665 00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:57,679 which is designed to force us into new 666 00:24:01,190 --> 00:23:58,880 ways of thinking 667 00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:01,200 because it exposes our assumptions 668 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:02,960 especially our mainstream 669 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,240 dominant assumptions it uses absurdity 670 00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:08,559 and psychological trickery to get us to 671 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:10,080 think differently 672 00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:12,080 and again this would fit well with the 673 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:13,120 documented 674 00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:19,269 now let's bring this around to a couple 675 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:21,120 of the questions we posed in the 676 00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:23,840 introduction to today's episode 677 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:26,320 what is the phenomena noticed at 678 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:27,440 skinwalker ranch 679 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,240 tell us about ultimate reality and how 680 00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:32,640 could we potentially explain it 681 00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,320 well we've discussed the idea of 682 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,320 interdimensional portals 683 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:39,120 and modern science considers this in 684 00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:40,640 terms of wormholes 685 00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:43,120 and the multiverse the idea with 686 00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:44,960 wormholes is that you can actually open 687 00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:45,840 up a connection 688 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:47,760 between two very different aspects of 689 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:49,039 physical reality 690 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:50,640 for instance it would be a shortcut 691 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:53,520 between two very distant parts of 692 00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,640 our physical universe perhaps even 693 00:24:59,990 --> 00:24:58,320 you could connect two different 694 00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:00,000 universes through this kind of 695 00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:02,720 shortcut that's what a wormhole is and 696 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:03,279 when you 697 00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:05,440 listen to the postulations about what a 698 00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:06,799 wormhole would look like 699 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:08,720 it sounds a lot like what we have 700 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:11,440 described at skinwalker ranch when those 701 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:18,710 i only bring this to your attention to 702 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:20,240 make the point that this is not 703 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:22,640 science fiction this is mainstream 704 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,240 science today 705 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:26,240 wormholes are believed to be a part of 706 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:27,600 our physical universe 707 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,640 it's not a far out idea indeed 708 00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:32,880 scientists and astronomers are already 709 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:33,760 postulating 710 00:25:38,310 --> 00:25:35,840 ways we could use wormholes to 711 00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:38,320 facilitate travel to distant parts of 712 00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:38,799 our 713 00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:42,000 galaxy and beyond the idea is we could 714 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:43,279 potentially open them 715 00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,440 the real challenge now is figuring out 716 00:25:49,909 --> 00:25:47,440 how you would stabilize them long enough 717 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:49,919 to use them as highways of a sort to 718 00:25:55,190 --> 00:25:51,440 travel to distant parts 719 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:57,029 now let's take this a step further and 720 00:26:01,510 --> 00:25:58,559 consider a few different ways 721 00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:01,520 that species intelligences may be able 722 00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:02,720 to traverse 723 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,799 the distance between not just two 724 00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:06,720 different locations in the same physical 725 00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:07,520 universe 726 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:09,200 but actually traverse the distance 727 00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:11,279 between two different universes 728 00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:13,440 or two different dimensions of physical 729 00:26:16,870 --> 00:26:14,960 reality 730 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:16,880 and it's important not to conflate these 731 00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:18,240 three because i think there's more than 732 00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:20,480 one way this could happen 733 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:22,400 technology is one way that if you 734 00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,840 develop a sophisticated enough 735 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,520 technology perhaps you would use 736 00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:27,919 wormholes or something like that to open 737 00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:33,830 and when we consider the advanced 738 00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:36,320 spacefaring races that are encountered 739 00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:38,799 within the ufo phenomenon literature 740 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:40,559 this may be how they are accomplishing 741 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:41,520 this task 742 00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:43,200 they are using a shortcut like a 743 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:45,120 wormhole opening that up 744 00:26:49,350 --> 00:26:47,760 to traverse these immense distances and 745 00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:49,360 it's their technology 746 00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:52,559 that enables this 747 00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:54,400 another possibility is that some 748 00:26:57,669 --> 00:26:56,799 creatures have an inherent evolutionary 749 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,679 capacity 750 00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:00,159 that allows them to traverse the gap 751 00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:01,760 between two different aspects of 752 00:27:06,070 --> 00:27:03,039 physical reality 753 00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:06,080 two different universes as it were and 754 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,440 these creatures wouldn't be using 755 00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:09,440 advanced technology they might not have 756 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,360 that technology whatsoever 757 00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:13,120 their understanding of reality might 758 00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:15,039 even be quite rudimentary and yet they 759 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:16,480 have this inherent 760 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:19,520 uh evolutionary capacity one of the 761 00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,000 creatures 762 00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:22,240 in fact noticed at skinwalker ranch is 763 00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:23,200 what we would consider 764 00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:25,520 a bigfoot in fact an entire family has 765 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:26,480 been noticed 766 00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:28,159 but only at certain times you can't 767 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:30,159 usually find them there 768 00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:31,760 what if these creatures are actually 769 00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:34,240 interdimensional and they have an innate 770 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:36,240 evolutionary capacity that allows them 771 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:43,590 a third option that occurs to me is not 772 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:45,120 a wormhole opened up through 773 00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:46,799 technological means 774 00:27:52,389 --> 00:27:50,000 nor a traversing of that gap by 775 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:52,399 an evolutionary capacity as a creature 776 00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:54,240 like bigfoot for instance 777 00:27:58,549 --> 00:27:56,399 but what if some wormholes just have 778 00:27:59,750 --> 00:27:58,559 been opened up and stabilized between 779 00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,760 different worlds 780 00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:01,520 and some creatures just happen to have 781 00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:02,960 stumbled across 782 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,880 these openings and they use it to 783 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,799 traverse between the two worlds 784 00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:08,960 this might also be the case and this 785 00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:10,720 might explain the bizarre 786 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:12,640 collection of creatures we find at a 787 00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:16,559 place like skinwalker ranch 788 00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:18,080 and now i'd like to share a final 789 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:19,760 thought with you based on today's 790 00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:21,520 discussion 791 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:23,840 we should be astonished by the plethora 792 00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:26,000 of wondrous possibilities that exist 793 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,080 just beyond the periphery of our 794 00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:30,000 everyday perception 795 00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:32,559 we should be inspired and in awe of the 796 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:33,679 complex 797 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:36,480 interwoven tapestry of life apparently 798 00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:38,720 spawned by the energy of consciousness 799 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:41,200 the bedrock of all reality that gives 800 00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:42,640 rise to a multiverse 801 00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:45,440 teeming with life both conventional and 802 00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:47,440 unconventional 803 00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:49,600 but just as one might go exploring in 804 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:52,720 the rich colorful jungles of the amazon 805 00:28:56,230 --> 00:28:55,039 one should remember to bring a compass 806 00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:56,240 and a guide 807 00:29:02,470 --> 00:28:59,039 bring provisions and be aware of one's 808 00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:05,029 and on that note we've come to the close 809 00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:06,240 of another edition 810 00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:08,880 of the point of convergence podcast as 811 00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:10,720 always let's keep this conversation 812 00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:13,200 going and growing please continue to 813 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:14,799 spread the word 814 00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:17,039 but until next time friends from deep 815 00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:18,799 within the blue ridge mountains of north 816 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:19,919 carolina
