For years, underground military tunnels, disappearing helicopters in secret canyons, men in black, camouflage-clad troops with M-16 rifles chase hikers away, UFO sightings, paranormal phenomena, bizarre Rumor has it that the light appears and disappears in the blink of an eye. , pseudo-portals to parallel universes, and other anomalies in and around Sedna. These urban legends have become fodder for mystery novels and have swirled through Sedona’s history for decades. Most people believe that these alleged phenomena are either pure fabrications with no evidence of their existence, or that they have rational explanations.

“Beyond the Skinwalker Ranch”

In December, a History Channel TV crew, accompanied by former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante and freelance journalist Paul Bevan, traveled to Sedona to explore and shoot a new series, Beyond Skinwalker Ranch. Tuesday, June 6, 10:00 p.m.

According to the show’s logline, “Investigators Andy Bustamante and Paul Bevan explore Sedona’s Bradshaw Ranch and encounter dangerous radiation levels, strange temperature anomalies, and anomalies.” [unidentified anomalous phenomena]”

The epic story of Sedona is the work of both History Channel Executive Producer and Brandon Hoogal, owner of the Skinwalker Ranch near Ballard, Utah, which is currently the subject of the History Channel show Secrets of the Skinwalker Ranch. Got attention. its fourth season.

Fugal claims Skinwalker Ranch is the site of paranormal and UFO-related activity.

Executive producer David Carr has claimed that an investigation at the former Bradshaw Ranch has pushed the airtime longer than originally planned, with the second episode, “Bradshaw Ranch Part 2,” set to air on Tuesday, July 11. It will be broadcast.

“We are not holding back when it comes to the results we have had,” said Kerr. “There is no censorship and that is part of the mission.”[The Secret of] “Skinwalker Ranch” and of course “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch” is all about presenting the truth that we have found, and our truth is based in science. We’ll stick with it, but we’re not afraid to reveal the truth as we discover it. ”

Old Bradshaw Ranch

The former Bradshaw Ranch is located 19 miles outside of Sedona between Hartwell Canyon and Roy Canyon. The ranch was previously owned by Hollywood stuntman Bob He Bradshaw, who purchased the land in 1960. Over 90 acres, the ranch has been the location of five westerns, two TV series and numerous commercials. It was also the subject of a 1995 book by Bradshaw’s wife Linda and ufologist Tom Dongo, Dimensional Merger: The Amazing Story of Bradshaw Ranch. Linda Bradshaw and Dongo claimed in their book that orbs, bright lights, and otherworldly beings began appearing on the ranch in 1992.

John Bradshaw, the former deputy mayor of Sedona and the son of the late Bob Bradshaw, CEO of Jeep Travel Company, said he was familiar with the story.

“There were some weird things that I couldn’t really explain,” said Bradshaw. “So I didn’t actually disprove or prove it. So it’s still up in the air for me. It doesn’t make sense either way. But these are conspiracy theories.” that’s how we did it [Jeep] Tour…I’m one of those people who needs to see it with their own eyes before they believe it. ”

Bradshaw’s son, Mason, who was also interviewed for the show, said he had never experienced paranormal activity near the ranch until after returning from college. “He really didn’t understand until he graduated from high school,” Mason said. “But I hadn’t really experienced the paranormal and sightings of aliens and orbs until I came back from college and now I see orbs all the time. I see them through Jerome.”

land transfer

Bob Bradshaw sold the land to his Jeep Tour company for $2.75 million in 1998, according to Yavapai County real estate records. Gamma Investors LLC, a venture capital firm, acquired the land by his 2001 sale and sold it in May 2001 to the California nonprofit Trust for Public Land for $10. Sold to the U.S. Forest Service in June for his $3.15 million.

Bustamante said the land was seized rather than sold.

“Pole [Beban, the investigative reporter] The question began, “What happened with the change in ownership of the Bradshaw Ranch?” What we found in official government records — state and federal records — was that there was never a deliberate transaction of the land,” Bustamante said, adding that the ranch was seized through a prominent property. claimed to have been John Bradshaw neither confirmed nor denied that the ranch had been seized, calling it “complicated.”

This land is currently used by Northern Arizona University’s Southwestern Experimental Garden Array. SEGA has a special use permit from the National Forest Service for up to 20 years to conduct long-term climate change studies on up to 22 acres of its property. Multiple solar panels, generators and other facilities are installed on the premises.

Before filming began at Bradshaw Ranch, the History Channel team obtained all the proper paperwork and permits from both the City of Sedona and the U.S. Forest Service for filming in the area of ​​interest. Bustamante and Kerr claimed they encountered some “backlash” while conducting experiments in the region.

“What we actually encountered was competition from mostly peers who tried to sabotage or influence our investigation,” Bustamante asserted. “We have also collected some compelling evidence suggesting a level of sophistication that is in fact only accessible to the federal government or the U.S. military. It’s proof that I was able to capture it.

“I think I have found some evidence that pushes some of the questions asked by both Linda Bradshaw and Tom Dongo.” [the possibility] It’s a merging of dimensions,” Carr said. “We get a better understanding of whether those questions are grounded in reality. We take it much, much further.”

radio signal

Bustamante and Carr claimed to have discovered the same 1.6 gigahertz UHF radio signal transmissions they observed at the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.

“I want to tell you that one of the main pieces of evidence that we wanted to back up with Sedna and other areas of research was this 1.6 gigahertz frequency,” Bustamante said. “What is it? Why is it happening – because it’s happening in multiple places? Is there a pattern to it? Do you know where the transmissions are coming from? Do you know the source? It was a big part of our investigation. For a million years, we didn’t expect to find anything found near that frequency in Sedona, Arizona. I’ll leave it at that.”

“Looking at what we found, it was left [astrophysicist] Dr. Travis Taylor of Skinwalker Ranch was speechless,” continued Bustamante. “I can’t wait to see Travis’ reaction to what we’ve discovered about that frequency and see what the rest of the audience thinks.”

The 1.6 GHz VHF radio band is widely used for satellite navigation and telephony such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Globalstar, Iridium systems, some cell phones, and satellite TV, with detectable ranges of up to 150 miles.

Reported Findings

Network crews used drone magnetometers, thermal cameras, spectrum analyzers, Geiger counters and gamma cameras.

“I always approach these projects with a high degree of skepticism but with an open mind,” Carr insisted. “We are skeptical in the sense that we are not going to participate as believers without supporting facts. Actual facts, not just stories.”

Kerr, who has worked on “Ancient Aliens” and the reality show “Curse of Oak Island,” says the discovery of this particular series has changed his attitude about what he thinks is possible.

“As a filmmaker, I was able to deliver what I saw with my own eyes,” said Kerr.

Bustamante, who said his job as a CIA agent was to steal secrets from people, insisted that “the secrets are being kept from us” in this case. “After actually doing that level of work, that level of research, and then documenting the results and sharing them with colleagues like Dr. Travis Taylor and his Ph.D. [Principal Investigator and Chief Scientist], Eric Byrd — Once you get the opportunity, you never forget it. You can never go back,” Bustamante said.
