Robert Bigelow, a billionaire entrepreneur known for Budget Suites and Bigelow Aerospace, has long been a pivotal figure in UFO research, driven by a childhood story of his grandparents’ close encounter in 1950s Nevada.
His fascination led him to invest millions into the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) and Skinwalker Ranch, a hotspot for paranormal activity. Bigelow’s boldest public moment came in a 2017 *60 Minutes* interview, where he declared, “There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence,” asserting that UFOs are “right under people’s noses.”
He dismissed concerns about ridicule, saying, “I don’t give a damn,” and claimed to have spent more on UFO research than anyone in the U.S., even receiving FAA reports for years. Through his company, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), he secured a $22 million Pentagon contract in 2007 for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), studying UFOs, psi phenomena, and Skinwalker anomalies.
Why Did Robert Bigelow Sell Skinwalker Ranch?
Robert Bigelow, the aerospace entrepreneur and UFO enthusiast, purchased Skinwalker Ranch—a 512-acre property in Utah’s Uintah Basin notorious for reports of UFOs, cattle mutilations, shape-shifting entities, and other paranormal phenomena—for $200,000 in 1996. He acquired it through his National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDSci) after the previous owners, the Sherman family, fled due to terrifying encounters. Over two decades, Bigelow invested heavily in scientific investigations, including sensors, cameras, and a team of physicists and biologists, aiming to document the anomalies. Despite this, NIDSci disbanded in 2004 amid frustrations over inconsistent evidence, though Bigelow retained ownership and later tied the site to his $22 million Pentagon-funded AAWSAP program, which explored UFOs and interdimensional forces. In 2016, Bigelow sold the ranch for approximately $500,000 to Adamantium Real Estate LLC, a company owned by real estate mogul Brandon Fugal, who has since continued private research and allowed limited media access, including the History Channel’s.
The Bubble:
What is the bubble? Its by the Mesa drill site. The bubble is a clear, invisible, bubble area going into the sky about 2,000 ft up. The bubble is the main focus location of the site, with low radiation levels, and a possible crashed UFO inside or city under it. Here is where many strong EMI events happen.

Bigelow hinted at deeper access, noting in 2021, “Machinery really does exist… but the problem has been the inability to back engineer,” and referenced failed negotiations with Lockheed Martin for exotic materials. He also tied UFOs to consciousness, warning in 2023 about the risks of interdimensional communication: “You’ve got to be a little careful about what you wish for.” His statements suggest a phenomenon that’s both technological and spiritual, with potential hybrids among us. Bigelow’s later reflections blend UFOs with existential questions, calling humanity a “galactic embarrassment” for its outdated physics and warning against weaponizing ET tech: “You should be damn concerned about the human race.” From Cold War pilot disappearances to a “Supreme Consciousness” guiding extraterrestrials, his quotes paint a complex picture of a man convinced of an alien presence that’s closer and more dangerous than we realize. As 2025 congressional hearings echo his work, Bigelow’s legacy challenges us to confront the unknown with open minds and cautious ambition.
What Is Under Skinwalker Ranch?
While Bigelow has remained tight-lipped on specifics, he has stated on record that safety concerns were a primary driver. He reportedly believed the site’s intense phenomena posed risks, potentially contributing to health issues and even the 2018 death of his wife, Diane, from cancer—though he linked it more broadly to the “consciousness-driven” nature of the anomalies, describing them as interdimensional forces that could be harmful if mishandled. Bigelow’s decision also reflected a strategic pivot in his pursuits.
Beneath Skinwalker Ranch, the investigative team from The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch uncovered a massive, buried dome-shaped object within the mesa, composed of advanced materials like metal and ceramic, and emitting unusual energy signatures. Additional findings include a large meteorite with a distinctive dish-like structure and evidence of a 1964 archaeological excavation, though the exploration is still ongoing.
By 2016, his focus had shifted from paranormal hotspots to broader questions of consciousness and afterlife research, culminating in the 2020 launch of the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies, which offered $1 million in prizes for evidence of survival after death. He later reflected that “the main mysteries at Skinwalker were never solved,” suggesting the ranch’s elusive phenomena—despite years of study—left him without breakthroughs, prompting him to move on without fully disclosing findings, possibly to protect sensitive data or due to ongoing government ties. This sale marked the end of his direct involvement but amplified the ranch’s legend, fueling ongoing speculation about what he truly encountered there.
Injuries at Skinwalker Ranch:
Skinwalker Ranch, a 512-acre Utah property notorious for UFOs and paranormal phenomena, has been linked to numerous injuries and health effects, affecting owners, investigators, and animals across decades.
- Radiation Symptoms: Dr. Travis Taylor experienced nausea and fatigue resembling radiation poisoning during 2020 investigations, linked to anomalous energy spikes.
- Head Injuries: Thomas Winterton suffered severe, unexplained head trauma, including a near-fatal blow while sleeping, with no assailant identified.
- Animal Mutilations: Livestock, including cows and alpacas, endured precise surgical cuts and exsanguination, often tied to sightings of red orbs.
- Hitchhiker Effect: NIDS and AAWSAP personnel reported poltergeist activity and health issues like anxiety that followed them home, prompting restricted ranch access.
- Neurological Effects: Investigators developed brain lesions and cognitive disruptions in “hot zones,” noted as potential security risks in AAWSAP files.
- Cancer (Speculated): Robert Bigelow linked his wife Diane’s 2018 cancer death to ranch exposure, a factor in his 2016 decision to sell.
- Miscellaneous Injuries: The Sherman family and staff reported unspecified wounds and transient radiation-like effects, tied to paranormal encounters.

1.6 GHz Signal: A Mysterious Anomaly at Skinwalker Ranch
The 1.6 GHz signal has emerged as one of the most intriguing and debated anomalies investigated by the research team. Featured prominently on the History Channel’s The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (now in its sixth season as of 2025), this radio frequency spike was first detected using software-defined radios (SDRs) like the SDRPlay during experiments probing electromagnetic disturbances.
The signal, often appearing as a strong, intermittent square wave, has been linked by team members—including astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor and Principal Investigator Erik Bard—to unexplained events, such as equipment malfunctions (e.g., a tractor stalling) and UAP activity. In one episode, Taylor noted that the U.S. government investigated it as a potential hostile source, tying it to broader UAP task force reports on electromagnetic emissions in the 1-3 GHz range.
The signal’s “frightening truth,” as teased in promotional clips and interviews, stems from its recurring presence during high-strangeness incidents, prompting speculation of extraterrestrial communication or interdimensional interference.
Skinwalker Ranch’s Triangle Enigma: UFO Hotspots at Homestead 1 and Beyond
One of the most infamous early events occurred in 1996 at Homestead 1, where the Sherman family—previous owners—reported a massive, glowing orb hovering near their home, accompanied by unexplained animal mutilations and cattle deaths with precise surgical cuts. This incident, detailed in Colm Kelleher and George Knapp’s book Hunt for the Skinwalker, prompted real estate mogul Robert Bigelow to purchase the ranch in 1996 for his National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS), which documented further UFO sightings, including bulletproof wolf-like creatures and poltergeist activity. The U.S. government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) later allocated $22 million starting in 2007 to investigate these anomalies, yielding reports of interdimensional portals and UAPs emerging from the ground, though skeptics like Robert Sheaffer argue much of the evidence remains anecdotal and unverified after decades of scrutiny.
More recent investigations on the show have spotlighted hotspots like the Command Center— the team’s high-tech hub for monitoring—and the enigmatic Triangle, a triangular dirt-path area between the homesteads and the mesa edge, notorious for “high strangeness.” At the Triangle, experiments in seasons four and five revealed UAPs blocking laser beams at 2,000 feet, possibly due to a massive underground cone-shaped anomaly spanning from Homestead 2 to East Canyon, suggesting potential portals or energy fields.
The Command Center has captured thermal anomalies and equipment failures during these probes, including a 2023 episode where a helicopter experiment over the Triangle documented multiple UFOs darting erratically. Homestead 1 continues to yield disturbing evidence, such as a life-threatening radiation spike in season six that forced investigators to reassess safety protocols, while orbs have been filmed exiting the nearby mesa and heading toward the Triangle, fueling theories of non-human intelligence or wormholes. Despite ongoing debates over hoax claims, these events underscore the ranch’s enduring allure as a nexus of unexplained aerial phenomena.
The Blob:
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. In Season 4, Episode 3 titled “The Blob,” aired in May 2023, ranch owner Brandon Fugal and his team, including astrophysicist Travis Taylor and principal investigator Erik Bard, detected massive metallic objects buried beneath the Mesa through ground-penetrating radar.
To probe further, they conducted a high-tech experiment at the site’s mysterious “Triangle” area, launching rockets equipped with sensors, only to capture an inexplicable, amorphous anomaly—described as a large, unidentified aerial phenomenon or UAP—hovering just 31 feet above the ground on thermal imaging cameras.
Dubbed the “great and powerful blob,” this low-altitude entity defied explanation, sparking debates among viewers and skeptics alike, with some dismissing it as a mere camera reflection or thermal artifact, while others hailed it as compelling evidence of interdimensional portals or extraterrestrial interference that continues to fuel the ranch’s aura of high strangeness.
