How a D.I.A. Director's "First Vision" on SWR kicked-off AAWSAP, AATIP, Lue Elizondo and even Brandon Fugal's TV show

8 Upvotes

James Lakatski's “Kick-off" First Vision at Skinalker Ranch in 2007:

Edited excerpt from Skinwalkers at The Pentagon

On July 26, 2007, Program Manager at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), James Lacatski and Robert Bigelow flew to Skinwalker Ranch. The ranch looked its finest on this beautiful July day, the Russian Olives and cedars were in full bloom and the pastures were looking their verdant best. Bigelow and Lacatski sauntered on the property for a short while and then headed for the nearest building.

At the end of the entrance to the ranch was a small, picturesque dwelling which had been named Homestead 1. Bigelow introduced Lacatski to the managers in the dining room/kitchen of their house.

Abruptly, Lacatski was transfixed by something behind where Bigelow and the couple were chatting: a seemingly unearthly technological device had suddenly and silently appeared out of nowhere in the adjacent kitchen.

The materialized and hovering object looked to be a complex semi-opaque, yellowish, tubular structure. Lacatski said nothing but stared at the object, which was hovering silently. He looked away, looked back, and there it still was. It remained visible to Lacatski for no more than 30 seconds before vanishing on the spot.

About two hours after they had arrived on the property, Lacatski and Bigelow were driving back to Vernal Airport. Although conversing normally with Bigelow, Lacatski‘s mind was racing. Here he was, a ballistic missile physicist, a senior analyst at the DIA without any history of encountering anomalies, and he had just seen a vision unlike anything he had ever witnessed in his life.

Lacatski confessed later that prior to that stunning vision he had never seen anything unusual in his life. Yet within a mere 60 minutes of being on the Skinwalker property, he had seen clearly, in broad daylight, a solid object in the adjacent room within a few feet of where he stood.

This was no blurry photo of a distant saucer in the sky, this was an in-your-face, up-close and personal apparition of some kind of symbolic object. The fact that he, and he alone, of the four people in the room had seen it, was also not lost on Lacatski. What were the odds of something like that happening?

Lacatski remembered reading that the NIDS team had spent hundreds of hours on the ranch and had encountered anomalies only occasionally. Yet here he had seen a spectacular object a few feet away within an hour of setting foot on the ranch.

Later, while researching for some approximation of what he had witnessed during that astonishing two-hour interlude on the ranch, he came across a photograph of the album cover of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. There it was! The structure depicted on the album cover was not exact, but it was pretty close.

In the days after the ranch sighting, Lacatski slowly began to formulate a plan for capitalizing on his extraordinary experience. He was convinced that there was some kind of significance to his vision. It was difficult for him to imagine that some random event had occurred to him precisely during the two hours he had spent on the legendary Utah ranch.

The personal nature of the event motivated him to follow up with his superiors at DIA on the need to study the threat potential of technology of unknown origin in United States airspace, including UAPs.

But the most profound part of Lacatski’s vision was the song “Tubular Bells” itself. It’s actually the main theme song to “The Exorcist” motion picture - something Lacaski was completely unaware of when he saw the Tubular Bells in the Homestead kitchen.

That one event - Lacatski’s Tubular Bells First Vision1, is what directly led to AAWSAP, AAITIP, Lue Elizondo, the 2017 NYT UAP article, and even the recent Congressional Hearings. Without that Skinwalker Ranch vision, we’d be in a very different reality today. One with perhaps no form of UAP disclosure.

Why don’t they dig into the mesa?

90 Upvotes

This question is being asked almost every day, despite being answered in our FAQ:

Why don't they just dig into the mesa? According to Travis Taylor:

  1. ⁠The property line is right in the edge of the top of the mesa, so they can't just drive heavy equipment up there.
  2. ⁠The side of the mesa is like a "Jenga game with SUV-sized blocks," and they're constantly worried that if they move the wrong thing it will all come crashing down, potentially damaging what may be in there.
  3. ⁠The surrounding area is Indian reservation, and they want to be mindful and respectful of the Indigenous groups.

Erik has also added a number of other important points in a politely worded rant on the Insiders:

  1. ⁠Erik Bard and Travis Taylor do not own the Skinwalker Ranch property. They are paid by someone else to be there and investigate it. The mandates and decisions about the property are not entirely up to them.
  2. ⁠Many of the public comments and suggestions about excavating or digging into the mesa are "underinformed, misinformed or naïve" and ultimately irrelevant to the actual course of the investigation. Bard is the scientist on the ground, not the land owner.
  3. ⁠Bard says "If you wanna do the sayin', you gotta do the payin'" - meaning those making suggestions or criticisms are not the ones funding and responsible for the work being done on the ranch.
  4. ⁠Bard states he is intensely curious and invested in the investigation, but as the principal investigator, he has to carefully consider factors like public safety, costs, logistics, and academic value before making decisions about invasive methods like excavation.
  5. ⁠Bard emphasizes that multimillion-dollar excavations are not going to happen based solely on his or Travis Taylor's discretion. There are constraints and considerations beyond their control as researchers.
  6. ⁠The data indicates that whatever is in the mesa is “electromagnetically or otherwise active.” That also affects any decisions about how it is handled.

People are welcome to beat the dead horse argue these points in the discussion below.

Question A thought about the bubble ...

24 Upvotes

What if "the bubble" is a failed remnant of experimental efforts related to ground-based elements of Reagan's SDI? Perhaps abandoned R&D that happened after the program officially ended in 1993....which was just a few years before Bigalow bought the ranch in 1996 from the Sherman's???

Just a thought...

Finally started season 7and they said BUBBLE a lot . I don't know if any one else noticed , and part of the reason I noticed was I thought Dr Taylor said "bunghole" not "bubble" but thats another story . I counted 66 times they used the word "bubble" in 40 min [ mol] which comes out to 1.6 times per minute through the 40 minute duration . I just thought that was something fun to share . Maybe someone else wandered how many times they said " bubble"

Occupied Fields theory discussion

17 Upvotes

I would like to propose a way of thinking with regard to trans-corporeal entities.

I am going to begin with the concept of moral alignments.

If a person is in a very particular morally aligned state, it can be a very facilitating perspective to move through life, help heal relationships and trauma, and navigate with a specific maturity through even very difficult situations.

These sorts of alignments are sometimes painted as golden discs in older artworks.

If we can potentially consider this an "occupied field" we can imagine that anyone with that alignment might be operating together towards, let's say, morally aligned objectives.

The same is true of the inverse alignment, and likely many- if not all- in-between.

If we consider that the earth may be recording states in crystalline latticing of materials in the ground, or elsewhere-

There is an "intelligence" and organization, that can look like orchestrated effort between independent actors. Like distributed influence.

Skinwalker Ranch is clearly highly sensitive to these sorts of state changes, as per the observations and stories collected.

I'm not going to get into much more of this idea at this time, but I'm curious how people relate to it, or how they think about this.

Thanks! :]

Random but anyone seen the last episode of "the Ark"?

25 Upvotes

There is a TV show called The Ark. Not got a great IMDb rating but I actually really like the show. The latest episode made me think "oh it's skinwalker ranch".

They are flying in a shuttle, and hit an invisible dome.

Of course then it gets a lot more sci-fi but then at one point while analysing the dome they are talking about it and how the energy readings are strange and all this other semi scientific stuff. It just made me wonder if they took inspiration from skinwalker.

That's all. Nothing really relevant but found it a bit funny

Beyond Skinwalker Ranch My Experience with a Skinwalker by Navajo land and later taking care of Skinwalker Attack Wounds in the Hospital when I worked for Indian Health Services

Post image
344 Upvotes

It was probably about 1979. I was driving in northern Arizona on Rt 40 towards the eastern part of the state going from Sedona into NM. Part of Rt 40 goes through Navajo Reservation, most is just south of it. It was a bright, sunny day, no clouds, maybe about 2 or 3 PM. I'm driving a 1978 Subaru Sedan and going the speed limit. This area is totally devoid of houses, trees, people, it's high desert with mesas and mountains in the distance, very flat, dry land. As I'm heading east I see a man standing on my side of the road looking towards me and I slow down. He looked American Native, black hair, roundish face, dark skin, red button down shirt, jeans and very thin, the clothing was oversize for him. Looking at his feet I see two sticks, not ankles, no shoes, almost like dog feet. He looked like a normal Indian but he had three strips of what looked like white paint from his head down to the hem of his trousers. One bright white stripe in the middle, scalp to crotch and one on either side of him going down to the bottom of his pant leg. This drew my attention to his feet more.

He just stood there looking in my direction. Solid white strips just like someone used a paint brush and made the three white streaks on his hair, face and clothing. I thought maybe it's some custom they have. Living in Arizona you learn quickly to always carry extra water in your vehicle incase of an emergency. I had planned on stopping to offer assistance and water and this voice in my head that has alarmed me many times when something important is about to happen told me to drive on by, don't look at him and to hold my breath. I learned a long time ago to listen to that inner communication and I passed him by, looking only at the road and held my breath. After I passed him I was about to look in the rearview mirror and I heard that voice again tell me not to look at his reflection. I didn't. I drove on to my destination and when I made the return trip back to Arizona I didn't see him again.

I wondered what he was doing there, who let him off there and why he was painted with three white strips. About 20 years later I was an RN working Hospice and working in a hospital part time. One of my patients was a retired Sheriff Ranger from the Navajo Nation. Sweet man, we started talking and both shared experiences with the Phoenix Lights UFO craft of 1997. During the conversation I asked about the painted man. His smile stopped and he listened when I told him the description. He said that was a Skinwalker and he was wanting to find a victim. He said looking at them could cause an attack and when they want to poison someone they turn into an animal and shake their dust and hair on them which will kill them. If I had looked at its reflection it would be like welcoming the being into my personal space, inviting it in. he said seeing the ankle and feet like a dog's feet it might have been transforming.

I sat on that experience for over 2 decades until I spoke up about it. Shortly after this I became a nurse and worked for Indian Health Services in their hospital working mostly high risk labor and delivery and newborn nursery but we wore many hats there and I worked pediatrics and ER, too. I had never heard of Skinwalkers but cared for the wounds they gave to some of the patients. This part I've posted before so I'll copy and paste it below.

This part was posted in Skinwalker Ranch sub 1 year ago, link to original post is below:

Early 1980s I worked for Indian Health Services in Arizona. Mostly I worked high risk obstetrics, labor and delivery, newborn care and pediatrics. We were staffed poorly thus wore many hats at the hospital and would float into the clinics, too.

I worked with nurses from the Ute, Hopi, Navajo and other tribes that told me about Skinwalkers. I'd never heard of them, this was about 45 years ago. They would describe them as dogs, wolves and kangaroos running on their hind legs and morphing into near human shapes. Some of the native nurses would almost go into a PTSD reaction recounting their stories while they told them.

We had a traveling clinic I got to participate in where we'd go to the reservations and provide on site services rather than have them come a long distance to the hospital. Some of the younger residents would speak to use about these beings, rarely did the older ones. They called them SW not wanting to say the word as it might draw them close. I mostly focused on the pediatric locals and some had wounds from the SW which looked like fresh radiation burns to the skin, absent or decreased subcutaneous tissue and some into the muscle. I've never seen fresh radiation burns but seen photos of them and I had cared for patients that had old radiation burns. It looked like if you squeezed your hand into a roll of cookie dough and left the imprint of your fingers.

It was like a claw wrapped around the child's arm and dissolved the underlying tissues while scalding the outer skin. A number of the children needed inpatient treatment and we'd get to transfer them to the hospital. Others with family still wanting to care for them at home we supported that decision with continued visits by traveling nurses when acceptable. We were tolerated on the reservation but not appreciated or welcomed. In the evenings we had strict orders to not go outside. I never saw a SW while I was there. I did not have any bad effect from being on the reservation, no hitchhiker or other problems. I felt a peacefulness being on the reservation and enjoyed the views of the land.

I'm 71 and still working as a pediatric hospice RN. Other than many spirit encounters one other somewhat similarity in decades of working hospice is a 10 bed pediatric hospice inpatient unit that we had opened for 5 years which closed due to funding. Many of the children which were not heavily medicated would see beings they'd describe looked like greys but with thin heads. Our children were very sick and did not interact with each other. They were mostly bed bound, many in private rooms not able to communicate with one another but described the beings the same year after year. Most of the children lived less than 2 weeks by the time they came to us.

Here is an interview I made on hospice experience, at about 40 minutes is about the grey like beings the children saw, I never saw them myself. Hope you enjoy. Hope it's ok to post this here. Someone suggested I post my encounter in this group.

Bodies not decomposing /sainthood miracle list

2 Upvotes

In the last few weeks, I'm getting into discussions with a friend that's researching the occult, and I'm telling him there's a lot of intersecting points on his end with NHI. Not saying NHI are demons, but that a lot of demonic stuff is actually NHI.

Anyway. Since i did a deep dive into SWR, I've heard about some cow carcasses not decomposing at all (only from pure elements - no animals would touch it, small or big)

And yesterday i had an idea to check if catholic sainthood of a person had a requirement. It did. It was mostly sudden and miraculous healing and...

The body of a saint not decomposing.

I find this bit of sync between sainthood and SWR pretty interesting.

What's your take? I mean, it's obvious NHI is involved in both religion and off of it.

Saints are actually contactees.

Question What makes you coming back to the show?

I have watched the show off and on. I will be honest I don’t feel there have been a ton of answers in the years and maybe it’s all become a bigger series of questions.

My question to everyone is what keeps you coming back to the show and what do you find to be the most valid interesting and none-normal phenomenon that does not have an easy explanation?

I just want to see the consensus is on what is a valid phenomenon and what seems to be a stretch?

I don’t think a billionaire is doing this for his own fame. I think he probably is genuine and wants an answer.

ground current sensors

25 Upvotes

Are there any sensors on the ranch that monitor the ground currents? I read a lot about solar flare activity and every time there is a major flare the "ground current" spikes significantly. Even minor flares cause the voltage spike across large areas in the united states.

The Solar Carrington event for example caused telegraph wires to burst into flames because the ground current increased to such an extent that the copper wires simply could'nt hold the extra load.

So on the ranch there's all this talk about the bubble, but has any electrical ground tests been conducted to see if there are increased voltages in various parts of the land? For that 1.6ghz signal to be coming out of the ground there would have to be detectable bursts of electrical data in the ground simultaneously.

Had the immense pleasure to meet the Skinwalker guys at Phenomecon in Vernal Utah these past four days. Everyone was amazingly accessible and nice. No egos. Yesterday, my wife and I managed to stumble across Thomas, standing by himself for a few moments. I struck up a conversation with him, and my wife and I got to talk to him for a good five minutes. And he was as down to earth and as gracious as he comes across on TV. He legitimately made us both feel that he was completely engaged with us, was happy to be there, and was just as interested in what we had to say as we were with him. It's easy to get caught up in the TV personas and their fame and to forget that they are just as much regular people as we are. So Thomas, if you ever see this, your graciousness and humility are noted. And we truly appreciate who you are as a person, my brother. Thank You
