I did watch a couple of episodes but got the impression, as you said, that this being reality TV, the blockbuster event was always in the next episode...stay tuned.
Though I couldn't hang with the TV series, I did read an excellent book on the Ranch called Skinwalkers at the Pentagon (about the DIA involvement with and analysis of the goings-on at the Ranch).
Looks like an interesting read, thank you.
You can see how guys get sucked into making their life’s work chasing things like that. It’s an adventure, the exhilaration of seeing something amazing, and it feels like you are right at the edge of piercing the veil on one of the most amazing truths of the world.
Kary Mullis of DNA PCR fame probably ran into this. He was at a remote cabin he owned deep in the woods, and went to use the outhouse, when he ran into what he later referred to as your “standard glowing extraterrestrial raccoon.” It was apparently human sized, standing on two feet, and leaning back against a tree when it looked at him and said, “Good evening, Dr Mullis.” He woke up a few hours later on a road up behind his cabin and stumbled home with no memory of the missing hours.
His daughter disappeared similarly for a few hours months later. They called out the Deputies, and she came stumbling home as they were searching and wouldn’t talk about it.
Asked about it all years later, all he said was something like, it was someone doing anthropology on a scale we could not imagine. Don’t know if he knew more about who it was. I’d love to know after reading this article.
Great stories.
“Missing 411” is another great rabbit hole to go down for late nights with nothing to do, if you ever get them any more. Lots of websites and youtube videos, with fascinating stories. Paulides is a good storyteller.
And who knows, in this weird world, it could be related to this. He seems to lean towards something like that.
