Beyond Skinwalker Ranch
Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 21h05
Genre: Reality, Paranormal, Supernatural
HISTORY is expanding its investigation into unexplained phenomena outside the boundaries of Skinwalker Ranch in Beyond Skinwalker Ranch.
Skinwalker Ranch is now widely considered to be ground zero for UAP activity and high strangeness.
Since 2020, Dr. Travis Taylor along with Erik Bard and their investigative team have been working around the clock to collect, analyze and decode as much data as possible associated with the phenomenon occurring at the site.
Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch.
So, for the first time ever they have decided to expand their search for answers.
In an effort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the country.
No longer content to sit, waiting to be targeted... it's time to go Beyond Skinwalker.
Utilising a team of reputable professionals working alongside veterans including ranch owner, Brandon Fugal; principal investigator and chief scientist, Erik Bard; and astrophysicist, engineer and lead scientist, Travis Taylor; the series explores other sites of unusual activity and "high strangeness" phenomena in an effort to discover if the activity documented on Skinwalker Ranch is not only real, but pervasive.
While Skinwalker Ranch is a unique place, it is not the only place that has interesting phenomena to be observed.
Beyond Skinwalker Ranch follows a team of professionals including a former CIA investigator, an award-winning investigative journalist and others as they study eyewitness accounts, unpack visual evidence and conduct measurable scientific experiments to investigate locales outside of Skinwalker Ranch including Bradshaw Ranch (Arizona), Bridgewater Triangle (Massachusetts), Rocky Mountain Ranch (Colorado) and more.
From orb detections to numerous UAP sightings, the phenomena studied by the team at each location aims to offer a broader perspective, larger data set, and deeper level of understanding to the team at Skinwalker Ranch.
In the series premiere, "Bradshaw Ranch": Investigators Andy Bustamante and Paul Beban investigate Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona, and encounter dangerous radiation levels, a strange temperature anomaly, and a UAP.
