The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

It is not a serious scientific effort.

There are so many simple, yet credible tests that could have been done in a serious manner that are being completely ignored. For example, deploy 16 stationary (altitude scalable) balloons to work as permanent instrument platforms (for GPS and camera of various types - mounted and each balloon).

Such balloons should be anchored to the ground, over a large area, ensuring a 360º complete coverage around points of interest to collect continuous data. Such instruments should be permanently linked (by cable) to storage data-servers on the ground (Control Center Installations).

It is very important that such cameras and sensors stay stationary while collecting data to extrapolate what is changing, the environment or the sensors, because when all is changing (moving) at the same time (rockets, drones, heli) the data lacks a stationary reference to be correctly extrapolated (compared with) in this specific kind of investigation.

It is also important to ensure and verify the quality of the GPS chips used. Such chips should be tested, calibrated and "quality verified" in order to garant that acceleration or hardware errors are not being generated.

There are so many other important steps that are being absolutely ignored. Anyway, my opinion is that this is not a serious investigation, in fact I don't think the production team has any real interest in doing so. The main interest is to explore an entertainment business.

About me: I'm a scientifically minded person. I love astrophysics and astronomy. I love every topic regarding the Universe. I'm a NASA subscriber. My name is part of a list of names carried by Curiosity Rover (sent to Mars).

I believe that our natural human senses and brains can only identify and understand a small part of the Universe, meaning that there are "space" for everything else in the Universe but this TV show is not doing much to explore such mysteries.

This is the first time we can get up to date video access of the ranch, this place isn't a farce. Many would have killed to get to investigate this place for years. I am curious as to the outcome of this show(only one episode has released so far) the other reviewers currently seem to not have knowledge of the site. It isn't some gimmick made up to make a tv show. Do the research on the property, Robert Biggalow would not have been there for years or even bought it in the first place and spent millions of dollars to research the site for years if it was nothing

I want to, just once, see a show about this ranch without "actors". This is almost as bad as Mountain Monsters. They try to build suspense with forced reality tv show style conflicts between the characters when the property itself is interesting alone.

My favorite part of the show is the dude who's name is Dragon always telling the astrophysicist what they need to do 😂 Otherwise the show is pretty entertaining it has a bit of "The Curse of Oak Island" feel to it. Not sure they will ever figure anything out in regard to what they are searching for but something about the show keeps me coming back! The owner of the ranch I feel like he's the alien in charge of all the things going on the ranch somethings off about him. I don't know what it is but he feels like he could be the evil genius in like a James Bond movie or something like that. I'm keeping an eye on that guy.

I wanted to like this show. Had high hopes. But it is too heavy on the corny. At times the pain of Taylor dealing with the "team" especially Dragon are just painful. Show needs to be re-tooled, without the tools.
