They'd bought 512 acres in Utah's Uinta Basin in 1994, expecting a cattle operation. They got something else: UFO sightings, cattle mutilated in ways veterinarians couldn't explain, poltergeist activity, creatures that fit no taxonomy. They reported a bulletproof wolf. Floating orbs. Portals opening in the sky. They left in 1996, selling to Robert Bigelow, a Las Vegas billionaire who'd founded the National Institute for Discovery Science to investigate paranormal phenomena. Bigelow's scientists occupied the ranch for years, documenting experiences they couldn't explain. Then the government got interested. Skinwalker Ranch became the only private property investigated by a secret Pentagon program. The mystery remains unsolved.]]></description>
