Skinwalker Ranch, Research facility ranch in Ballard, Utah
Skinwalker Ranch is a research property in rural Utah known for investigations into unexplained phenomena and electromagnetic measurements. The site includes observation stations, monitoring equipment, and infrastructure for continuous data collection spread across the acreage.
A businessman acquired the property in the late nineties and founded an institute to study reported occurrences scientifically. The current owner took over the site later and continues research efforts with new methods and expanded technology.
The site draws people who track reports of strange occurrences and search for signs of anomalous activity in the area. Locals tend to avoid the property and speak about it with caution, while visitors with scientific or personal interest observe the surroundings from a distance.
Access requires advance permission from the owners, as ongoing research and security measures prevent open entry. Visitors should prepare for remote terrain without public facilities and consider regional weather conditions.
Researchers report recurring technical failures and unusual light displays that cluster in specific sections of the property. A section known as the Triangle shows particularly high electromagnetic deviations that appear regularly during measurements.
