aving recently released his seventh book in his best-selling Missing 411 series, author David Paulides admits he is still no nearer to finding any answers.

It was while he was at the SJPD he’d started researching different areas of police work and with the encouragement of two National Park Rangers he began looking at unsolved missing persons cases.

INTERVIEW Clark McClelland The day President Eisenhower met with extraterrestrials at Holloman Air Force Base.

uring my long career at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, launch bases I was very fortunate to meet what a Hollywood film may title A League of Many Extraordinary Gentlemen. One of these was Dr. Ernst Steinhoff, the Senior Scientist with a team of excellent German engineers, technicians and scientists at Holloman A.F.B. in New Mexico. I recall the year as being 1969, due to our first attempt at a moon landing with NASA Astronauts, Neil Above: The 104 German scientists who arrived in the US as part of Operation Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Paperclip, pictured at Fort Bliss in Texas. ©WIkimedia Commons Aldrin, on 20 July 1969.

Eisenhower. He did see him but not close-up. He borrowed a pair of 50-power binoculars and watched President Eisenhower walking along the runway with a former U.S. Army General Officer. There were many other base workers present, observing with Dr. Debus as the President walked from the large Presidential plane, the Columbine lll, parked on the landing runway towards a strange unknown ship that had recently landed on the same strip ahead of the Presidential aircraft’s arrival.

“It was large and if my memory serves me right, what I believe was saucer shaped like a dinner dish.” said Dr Steinhoff to which I replid “Can you recall the diameter of it?” He hesitated to recall in his memory Above: President Dwight D Eisenhower (centre) meets again with Dr. Werner Von then he said. “It was about the Braun (right of the President) among others.©WIkimedia Commons three quarters the size of the wing span of the Presidential plane and the central portion of the disc was entire time he experienced this I worked with the German Scientists about fifteen or more feet higher. event, no base security were sent to that were brought to the USA by It was very large.

Following the purchase of the Ranch, the previous owner ‘Tom Gorman’, who had had his life turned upside down for 22 months, decided to stay on at the Ranch in almost a caretaker capacity while the rest of his family moved away. “He stayed on for years with the NIDS team. The family had left the Ranch in fear, and it’s hard to express to people what that is like – it’s hard to understand for myself – and it followed them…” The ‘It’ in question is not a flame- haired clown carrying a red balloon but an unknown tall shadowy physical entity. “They moved to two different states to try and shake this thing. Maybe there’s a part of them that wants to tell their story at some point... but right now, not so much. It continued to plague them, as it did the DIA agents who came to the Ranch.”

“But ‘Tom’ wanted to find this thing, he wanted to understand this thing. He stayed on for a long time as a caretaker to help the NIDS team hunt the phenomenon. He told them ‘You need to stalk this like an intelligent wild animal’ and you can. It seems to be a pre-cognitive, sentient intelligence in some way but in another way it can make mistakes, and he knew that because he had been stalking this thing at night. One time it was pretty cold out and he’d been stalking this thing, belly crawling and laying in wait for hours, when his knee cracked a branch on the ground. There was a glowing orb, or an intelligence scanning the field. It noticed him, and it just took off in an evasive maneuver.”

The property itself is located on Reservation land in the Uintah Basin to be precise, and belongs to the Ute tribe, so it goes without saying that permission to film in the Uintah Basin or on tribal lands requires authorization and permits from a Tribal Council? “Oh yeah, we were very lucky.” says Jeremy “My team went out there and George Knapp had created these really incredible relationships through the publication of his book, the fact that he and Dr Kelleher had really taken it seriously. The book was very clear and didn’t make light of things that shouldn’t have been made light www.shadowsmagazine.co.uk 41 issue 04 JEREMY CORBELL

Historically from the film Predator starring Arnold within the culture of the tribe that’s a no-go Schwarzennegger film ‘There’s something area. That’s the direct path of the Skinwalker out there waiting for us…and it ain’t no man.’ and that ridge goes right through the edge of what we call Skinwalker Ranch.” But what about the fabled Dark Canyon? The ‘Lair of the Skinwalker’ itself? If Bottle “They also let us camp at Bottle Hollow - Hollow is a favourite haunt of the entity fully permitted - film there, do interviews then surely an overnight stay in his domain with people and take that footage off the Nation’s land.

SKINWALKER: CAUGHT BY THE FUZZ Jeremy relates an unsettling incident with the local tribal police. Did I tell you about the tribal officer who pulled me aside and scared the shit out of me with what he said? So he’s talking to me about a lot of the natives and people that live there, they don’t like to talk about it: just invoking the name Skinwalker can invite this into your life. I’m standing with this cop and his deputy, and he’s just wanting to check the paperwork, but he seems concerned and so, finally, he looks at me and says: “Do you want to see something?” And I’m like: “Sure”. So he takes me aside – the other guys were doing interviews – to his vehicle and shows me a video on his cell that this apparition-type being – and this is Above: Corbell and phone, of a big-ass UFO hovering over a something that’s never been made public his mentor George house.

INTERVIEW George Knapp We got in touch with the man who started it all

e couldn’t end an article about Skinwalker Ranch without speaking to the man who was jointly responsible for bringing it to the general public’s attention. Taking a break from unravelling the various threads of the Pentagon UFO debate, among other things, with his ‘I-Team’ from LasVegasNow, investigative reporter George Knapp kindly took time out to answer a few of our questions.

SOYM: Has the atmosphere around the Ranch changed and evolved since your first visits there? George Knapp: The most obvious change involves security. In 1996, around the time when the Ranch changed ownership, there were a couple of newspaper Above: George Knapp and visible security presence. stories published which mentioned UFO sightings and animal mutilations but those reports included very little other people who were more easily frightened than the about the most bizarre, truly disturbing of events that NIDS guys. As soon as the property was sold in 2016, had occurred during the 20 months when the “Gormans” things started back up again, according to the new lived there. And of course, there was no mention of owner and his team. the even stranger events that had not yet occurred. It wasn’t until my articles in 2003 that the public learned SOYM: How has your understanding of the about the much broader scope of inexplicable activity, phenomenon evolved since writing your book with and that is when problems erupted with trespassers and Dr Kelleher? vandals and assorted nincompoops. After the book Hunt GK: Because of my friendship with Robert Bigelow For The Skinwalker was published in 2005, things really and later with a few other principal folks at NIDS, I was hit the fan. allowed to know things about the Ranch investigation pretty much from the beginning in 1996 so it became Intruders not only increased in number but also grew clear right away that this went way beyond mere UFOs, bolder and more reckless in the kinds of things they but it didn’t fully sink in until I was allowed to visit the would do on the property. Ever since then, it’s been place for the first time. I had covered UFO stories for necessary to maintain a strong and visible security more than a decade by then and although I had started presence on the Ranch, and I think that has caused a out like many others by embracing the then-dominant backlash of sorts. It has affected the level and types paradigm that flying saucers are nuts and bolts craft of unexplained activity there. The one and only thing piloted by ETs, it wasn’t long before that explanation no we have learned for sure about the Ranch is that it is longer made sense to me. It simply did not fit with all of interactive. It seems to respond to outside stimuli in the stranger aspects that always seemed to be hovering unpredictable ways. It revealed itself to the NIDS team on the periphery of UFO sighting reports. for the first few years, showed them some amazing and befuddling things, then went underground. Fewer and After reading all of Jacques Vallee’s stuff, and pretty fewer incidents were reported, and very few were the much everything else I could get my hands on, I was kind of thing that could be investigated to any degree. looking for some kind of a model or theory that could accommodate the truly weird stuff. At the time, I The Ranch was essentially dormant for a few years, thought it was my own original idea that maybe those though there were ongoing eruptions of weird bizarre events on the periphery of the UFO experience stuff elsewhere in the basin and on neighboring - the things that made people way more uncomfortable properties including Ute lands. It was as if the entity or than encounters with mere space aliens - were actually intelligence that used the Ranch as its playground or the heart of the matter, and that the saucers and other way station suddenly grew tired of being pursued, or UFOs were sort of a distraction, part of a learning curve. was uncomfortable about having the tables turned by And then, holy crap, I got the chance to learn from and the NIDS team. It did some very dramatic things that interact with the deepest thinkers to ever tackle this seemed to say, enough is enough, this game isn’t fun stuff. Bob had put together the best minds in the world, anymore. And then it went into hibernation, or it went the people who had thought more about these matters underground, or it went somewhere else to mess with than anyone anywhere, including his right-hand man www.shadowsmagazine.co.uk 49 issue 04 GEORGE KNAPP

Utah Ranch. It became clear that whatever intelligence was operating there, it acted contrary to the classic assumptions about supposed ETs. This was something else.

Eventually, the NIDS investigation of the Ranch changed my view of pretty much everything… right down to the nature of reality itself. This is a genie that can’t be stuffed back Into the bottle. In the years since the book came out, we’ve collected so much additional information about related phenomena, and it seems obvious that while the Utah Ranch is special in that the unexplained activity occurs in such dramatic concentrations at times, the Ranch is not entirely unique. It is special, in part, because of the amount of scrutiny it has received. The same things are happening elsewhere, maybe everywhere, to one degree or another. Above: George contemplating another investigation. Eventually, I came to understand a very uncomfortable idea - the idea that another intelligence lives here. It is Colm Kelleher, Jacques Freakin’ Vallee himself, geniuses not an intruder from somewhere else, not a traveler just Hal Puthoff and Kit Green, the courageous explorer passing through. I think people will have trouble getting Edgar Mitchell, John Alexander, John Schuessler, Al their heads around the idea that we humans are living in Harrison, and several others who didn’t want their names someone else’s world, not the other way around. made public.

There are quite a a fly on the wall when these great minds got together few smaller, less dramatic incidents that were not in the to discuss, debate, strategize. They let me listen and book, and many things that have happened since it was learn and sometimes contribute, allowed me to overhear published in 2005, but in general, we didn’t hold back things that were extremely sensitive and way over my any big stuff. Colm Kelleher was the lead investigator. head, with the understanding that I would not report He is familiar with everything that happened during the or reveal any of it, until or unless they gave the green NIDS study. He is not only my co-author on the book light. It was an arrangement I was more than willing but is a good and trusted friend. I know there are many to make, (and would do so again) and because I kept people who assume there is a huge vault filled with my word back then, friendships were formed and secret files and tapes, but as far as I know, that is not trust was established. Although I could not and would the case. NIDS did record an enormous amount of video. not spill any of the info I learned in confidence, these Cameras and recorders operated 24/7 for years, and interactions helped me process other information that there are some images of anomalous objects, but for came my way.. It gave me a unique vantage point in the the most part, they are not compelling. There are orbs, larger UFO context. It helped me in the evaluation of lights, floating in a sea of inky darkness, just illuminated assorted loud voices, boisterous claims, and grandiose blobs with no points of reference, and there is no way cases that popped up in the wacky world of Ufology to draw any conclusions from that footage. There were from time to time. The great minds on the NIDS SAB some ghostly images that could be seen on the video (Science Advisory Board) had many debates about the monitors—things that looked like tall buildings, a few daylight shots of fan-shaped lights near the ridge, but what can be said about them? As for evidence, anyone who has read the book and does not accept the central premise that this intelligence played games, seemed I WAS ALLOWED TO to anticipate what the investigators were going to do, avoided detection, messed with their minds…well, if that BE A FLY ON THE WALL is too much to swallow, so be it. That’s the way it was. There were reports from the field, sent by personnel WHEN ALL THESE GREAT on the Ranch, and later some emails about particular events, and while I would love to see them if they still MINDS GOT TOGETHER exist, they are not going to solve the mystery. There were several distinctly physical events that occurred, and I have heard people say they demand to see TO DISCUSS, DEBATE the evidence, but evidence is relative.

We managed to piece things were stuffed into a trailer, but what kind of report - or together, in part by including testimony from witnesses evidence - would convince skeptics that these events who had cooperated with NIDS, and also by interviewing occurred? Most of the key events from the NIDS era are people who had lived with these tribes but were not told in the book and now have been brought to life in members. The general story about skinwalkers was Jeremy Corbell’s documentary. creepy, but we knew from the reactions we had received that tribal members took this very seriously, and that is As for the BAASS study, that is another matter how we approached it as well. In a nutshell, skinwalkers altogether. Back in 2008, just one week after Bob are evil shapeshifters, sorcerers, killers. Some Utes Bigelow signed a contract with his new government believed the Navajo had unleashed a skinwalker curse partner, he agreed to be interviewed by me on Coast on the tribe This story about a skinwalker/shapeshifter to Coast radio. In that extraordinary program, he pretty eventually morphed into an umbrella explanation for much laid it out, left a trail of breadcrumbs for anyone many of the strange events the tribal members had seen who was paying close attention. He announced to the in and around the Ranch since the 1860s. world that he was launching BAASS, that it was created to investigate unusual phenomena, and that he had “a partner”. He never named the partner, but it was a pretty big clue that was universally ignored. I could not say anything about it at the time, and was not sure it would ever be made public, but some of the beans have been spilled, and I tried to explain some of it in the movie.

SOYM: With the release of the film, I guess there’s a chance there may be a potential unwanted increase in paranormal ‘tourism’ to the area? GK: It might be the only prediction we can make about the Ranch. Yes, people will come, but they’re already there, every day and every night. The fact that it is a long way from any major population centers is a mitigating factor. People have to really want it to travel that far. The new owner has spent a lot of money on security measures, including technology that is not beyond the norm. We did not want to cause any additional headaches for the owner, so we sought his Above: George with Jeremy Corbell listening and learning on opinion before proceeding with the film.

ho among us hasn’t wished to spread their wings and fly? To cease to be earthbound and soar to the heavens? But perhaps, in real-world terms, a person with wings might not be such a pleasant, liberating thing. Weird Winged Wonders: The Twilight World of Cryptid Creatures from Timothy Green Beckley’s Global Communications/Inner Light publishing house, offers important new insights into flying humanoids. The reader should understand that we’re not dealing with the classic images of winged angels as portrayed by artists down through the centuries. The book is about something much stranger, more “alien” and frightening. A case in point would be the mysterious Mothman, popularized in recent years by the 2002 movie The Mothman Prophecies, which was based on a book of the same title by legendary paranormal researcher and author John Keel. Above: The infamous “What is it?” Strickler asks. “Where is it Silver Bridge photo coming from? Why now? Is there a reason The book and movie tell a fascinating story of Mothman.

The bridge spanned vital to commuters in the area, collapsed the Ohio River between Point Pleasant and during rush hour traffic in December 1967, Gallipolis, Ohio, and the disaster took the killing dozens of people. Residents soon lives of 46 people.” Strickler quite naturally began to wonder if there was a connection connected the dots between the Point between the Mothman’s many appearances Pleasant and Chicago sightings. and the massive bridge disaster. Did the winged man consciously function as a harbinger of death?

In next years reports about similar objects had been appearing sporadically. They intensified from 2008 onwards, reaching peak in 2013. Similarity and integrity of those reports as well as a fact that most of eyewitnesses were deemed highly reliable ones make the situation very intriguing. It’s definitely something going on above the heads of Polish citizens though the Army remains deaf to any questions.

The most important one is: Who is responsible for those risky, nighttime flybys over the heads of unaware citizens?

NO OFFICIAL REACTION Our small wave of flying oddities cannot be compared to the famous Belgian flap of 1989-90. The first difference is in media coverage. While Belgian events focused strong public attention, in today’s Poland no one from mainstream media seems to be seriously interested in national UFO sightings. The fact is that most serious ufologists in Poland avoid sensation-seeking journalists and reporters. Fortunately also UFO witnesses, knowing that TV crew or some narrow-minded reporters can make woo-woo even from serious people, prefer contacting UFO groups than media.
