Sources deny battle with extraterrestrial aliens at Bigelow Skinwalker Ranch
BY THE STARSTREAM RESEARCH NETWORK
(STARpod.us) — A rumored battle against an extraterrestrial alien invasion in Utah at a remote ranch owned by one of the world’s most reclusive aerospace entrepreneurs never took place, according to STARstream Research sources familiar with the story.
Among those denying the alleged incident involving the death of two of Mr. Bigelow’s men are retired Col. John B. Alexander, an expert on non-lethal weapons and former Bigelow consultant, and investigative reporter George Knapp.
In 2010, the New York Times quoted Bigelow about his interest in UFOs.
“I’ve been a researcher and student of UFOs for many, many years … Anybody that does research, if people bother to do quality research, come away absolutely convinced. You don’t have to have personal encounters … People have been killed. People have been hurt. It’s more than observational kind of data.”
The rumor of an alien invasion in Utah has been widely discussed since Jesse Ventura’s TruTV show “Conspiracy Theory” ran an episode detailing allegations about Mr. Bigelow’s business dealings in space and the otherworldly nature of Bigelow’s ranch. Bigelow’s property is widely referred to as the Skinwalker Ranch, named for the shape-shifting sorcerers of local Native American legend.
Bigelow, who professes a long-time fascination with paranormal topics, including UFO visitations, bought the ranch after strange reports of paranormal activity on the property had been reported in the media. In the 1990s, Bigelow funded a paranormal research group called NIDS: the National Institute for Discovery Science. NIDS personnel were assigned to investigate the ranch for several years.
One NIDS investigator, Dr. Eric Davis, a physicist who has been consulted by the Air Force concerning wormholes and other kinds of teleportation technologies, provided STARstream Research with information about an alleged contact incident involving an unknown entity. The incident allegedly involved a psychic telepathic-attack against one of the NIDS scientists at the ranch. During the attack, the scientist reported hearing strange voices warning the NIDS personnel to stop their investigation and leave the property.
According to one rumor, which had been passed on by San Francisco physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti, based upon a story he was told during a meeting in London, extraterrestrial aliens had entered Earth-space via a wormhole in spacetime and had emerged onto Skinwalker Ranch, where they were then confronted by Bigelow’s security team.
San Francisco physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti claims to have heard the rumor while visiting London in 2004, while in the company of Nick Cook, the well known aerospace journalist from the private intelligence publisher Jane’s Information Group.
“I was asked by the ‘CIA’ not to pursue the story in 2004, but now Bigelow has (allegedly, it seems) opened Pandora’s Box on the story.”
Sarfatti came forward with the rumor following a remark made by billionaire space maven Bob Bigelow to the New York Times about the dangers of UFOs:
“People have been killed. People have been hurt. It’s more than observational kind of data.”
The New York Times had interviewed Bigelow about his recent efforts to build a private space station. In the article, Bigelow was quoted about the lethality of the UFO phenomena, but the basis for Bigelow’s statement was not pursued.
According to Sarfatti, the rumor of a battle between Bob Bigelow’s employees and otherworldly beings was provided by a mysterious French woman, who was accompanied by a body guard carrying a mystery briefcase allegedly containing “some kind of ‘psychotronic’ weapon based on alien ET technology.”
According to Sarfatti’s account, the French woman “claimed an actual gun battle at Bigelow Ranch with Bob’s paramilitary against aliens out of the wormhole with dead and wounded humans. She was very convincing and Nick Cook heard the strange tale at his private London Club with me and another witness. I debriefed Kit Green and Ron Pandolfi soon after and the story caused a big stir.”
Pandolfi and Green are well known for their interest in unusual phenomena and their history of employment with the CIA.
The definitive authorized version of the NIDS investigation at Skinwalker Ranch is told in the book “Hunt for the Skinwalker” by NIDS scientist Colm A. Kelleher, Ph.D., and George Knapp, anchor, chief investigative reporter, and commentator for KLAS TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas.
For more than fifty years, the bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying. Vanishing and mutilated cattle. Unidentified Flying Objects. The appearance of huge, otherworldly creatures. Invisible objects emitting magnetic fields with the power to spark a cattle stampede. Flying orbs of light with dazzling maneuverability and lethal consequences. For one family, life on the Skinwalker Ranch had become a life under siege by an unknown enemy or enemies.
Some of Bigelow’s NIDS scientific consultants, including Col. Alexander, Dr. Eric Davis and former CIA analyst Dr. Kit Green have confirmed to STARstream Research strange events at the ranch. The present controversy revolves around the conspiracy-spin presented by Ventura’s program.
Following the NASA / DARPA 100 Year Starship symposium, where Sarfatti unsuccessfully attempted to push open the UFO alien visitation topic, Sarfatti dismissed the Skinwalker Ranch alien battle story after speaking to NIDS consultant Jacques Vallee, the famous UFO researcher.
“Yes, the French woman’s story to me,” Sarfatti explained, was “a delusional distortion of Vallee’s meeting with her in Paris at Simon Daniel’s conference.”
Ventura’s TruTV show chases conspiracy theories for maximum entertainment value. To build a story for Skinwalker Ranch, the show needed to create an angle from which a conspiracy could be developed, settling on the alien invasion theme and the secrecy behind Bigelow’s various space-related projects.
Knapp, a veteran of the television industry, noted, “Typically, Ventura’s people avoid any content that is contrary to the theme they develop before they even begin production, which is what they seem to have done here.”
Col. Alexander, who had been interviewed by Ventura’s team for the show, summarized his opinion of the final product in just two words: “That’s bullshit!”
Knapp, a serious investigative reporter who has won many awards over his career, added, “Thanks to those who only want to add to the pile of bullshit. If you say, on camera, that you ‘have heard form several sources that two people were killed on the ranch,’ how do you think it is going to be used by the producers, anyway? … I’m not surprised Ventura would latch onto it for his ridiculous show. I am very surprised that any credible investigator would help to promulgate such nonsense by keeping the story alive or talking about it in front of a TV camera.”

Knapp sees a never-ending cycle of rumor built upon rumor, with the truth behind real anomalous events buried in sensationalism.
“But now we have additional elements of the showbiz conspiracy,” Knapp added, “speculation that Bigelow must have forced the producers to re-edit the show and leave certain things out. Once again, the speculation is completely unfounded and is total bullshit.”
Ventura’s team did manage to get Mr. Bigelow to discuss his statement to the New York Times that “people have been killed” — Bigelow explained he was referring to a secret UFO investigation by the government of Brazil on the island of Colares, where victims had allegedly been struck by unidentified beams of light from the sky. It was reported that two of the victims later died.
“Just for the record, Bigelow was not asked and did not sign any consent form,” Knapp added, concerning new allegations the show had been staged to fit Bigelow’s agenda. “Neither he nor anyone from his organization was contacted regarding the program. There was no negotiation about the content.”
Knapp also weighed in on the alleged extraterrestrial alien battle.
“There have never been any deaths on the ranch involving security people. There have never been any shootouts with aliens. This crap is ridiculous. Rumor mongers are asserting that Bigelow would cover up not just a battle with ET’s, but two homicides. Those deaths would be very serious crimes. There are no records of any such deaths because they never happened. Period.”
Knapp’s special status with key persons involved with Bigelow has made him somewhat suspect to conspiracy-minded individuals. Knapp agreed to go on the record here concerning what he had been told about the ranch.
“Everyone associated with the ranch who has ever been asked about this rumor has stated that it is crapola. There is zero proof of anything otherwise other than a rumor started by an unknown French lady. Her story was flatly contradicted by Jacques Vallee, by John Alexander, by Colm Kelleher, by Kit Green, and by me. Where is the contrary testimony? Who knows the identities of these poor dead soldiers? When did this happen? Answer — it never happened. It is a complete fabrication, sort of like the shootout with aliens under Dulce. And yet, years later, here we are, still giving the fairy tale new life by discussing it as if it had some inkling of merit.”

It should go w/o saying the one would be well-advised to stay on these guys good side. Since Gary Bekkum has chosen to publish several comments and disclaimers to this list, I'll post Knapp's comments here [My comments back to the list are in BOLD]: —chris
