• 0:45
  How are you hey doing great? Good morning from Utah, and it's a
• 0:51
  pleasure to be with you. I appreciate the time, of course tonight reminding
• 0:55
  our listeners that we've got another Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Perhaps we'll learn more
• 1:02
  tonight at nine o'clock Eastern, eight o'clock Central. Brandon, when was Skinwalker
• 1:07
  Ranch on your radar and why did you decide to buy it? Well,
• 1:11
  I'd first heard of this mysterious ranch back in two thousand and five. Two
• 1:18
  thousand and six, there's a book published called Hunt for the Skinwalker that was
• 1:23
  published by a scientist and an Emmy Award winning journalist, George Knapp, out
• 1:29
  of Las Vegas, documenting a scientific investigation of a property in northeastern Utah.
• 1:36
  It was supposedly the site of more UFO activity, bizarre cattle mutilations, and
• 1:44
  strange anomalies, I mean, almost Koltergeist like activity. I thought it was
• 1:52
  intriguing because it was in our backyard. It's about two and a half hours
• 1:57
  from Salt Lake City, out in the area the Unta Basin, in the
• 2:01
  middle of tribal lands. But I didn't really think anything more of it until
• 2:07
  two scientists brought me the opportunity to meet with this elusive billionaire, Robert Bigelow
• 2:15
  Bigelow Aerospace, who'd made his fortune in real estate and had owned the property
• 2:20
  for decades and had taken the scientific investigation of this property very, very seriously,
• 2:27
  to the point that the United States government had launched a Pentagon funded black
• 2:32
  budget program focused on the property and using this property. Skinwalker Ranch is really
• 2:40
  the center of gravity for documenting and studying what many people refer to in general
• 2:46
  as the phenomena when you mentioned Robert Bigelow. I think a lot of people
• 2:53
  know about NIDS and the cooperative with the government. What we don't know is
• 2:59
  what happened. Were you ever able to find out what happened? Yeah?
• 3:04
  The program ran for years, was tens of millions of dollars and involved over
• 3:09
  fifty research sciences, military officials and whatnot, but was disbanded in twenty thirteen,
• 3:17
  and for a number of reasons. I think there were several people that
• 3:22
  were uncomfortable in Washington with the subject matter, and for whatever reason, it
• 3:31
  was disbanded. But a couple of years later after that, I received a
• 3:37
  call from these scientists that were advisors who I had met when I was funding
• 3:45
  another effort in Utah, and they thought I would be a prime candidate to
• 3:51
  meet with mister Bigelow and potentially not only acquire the property but take it forward.
• 3:59
  I had to point out to them that I was a skeptic. I'd
• 4:00
  never seen a UFO, a ghost or anything of the sort, and I
• 4:03
  would be buying the property most likely to debunk it, to bring in my
• 4:09
  own scientists and investigators to show that there was nothing really to it that there
• 4:15
  was a natural, prosaic explanation likely for all that had been reported. So
• 4:19
  I bought it from mister Bigelow as a skeptic and was very shocked months later
• 4:29
  to learn that there was truth to what was being reported there and the rest
• 4:33
  is history, as they say. But I kept my identity secret. I
• 4:39
  had no interest in having my name associated with these topics. In fact,
• 4:44
  for four years I invested millions of dollars into establishing the scientific platforms and the
• 4:50
  research efforts secretly out at this mysterious piece of property. And it wasn't until
• 4:59
  producers of the Histor Street Channel convinced me to allow, you know, a
• 5:02
  docuseriies effort to actually present what is happening to the public, that I was
• 5:11
  persuaded to to really come forward. But it was it was a sobering moment
• 5:15
  to shift gears and come forward with the with the reality of the effort,
• 5:21
  which remains that a hit series on History Channel. In fact, we're very
• 5:26
  fortunate to have millions of year millions of viewers globally as we're right in the
• 5:32
  middle of our fifth season of Revealing. I believe what is the most compelling
• 5:38
  evidence of not only UFO activity, but other high strangeness using science and technology.
• 5:46
  The Morning Show with Preston Scott, the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled
• 5:51
  was convincing the world he didn't exist on News Radio one hundred point seven UFLA.
• 6:00
  I would lean towards the category of people that believe that a lot of
• 6:03
  the anomalies surrounding Skinwalker Ranch and a lot of other places around the world are
• 6:09
  spiritual and demonic in nature. Brandon Fugel, owner of the Skinwalker Ranch,
• 6:14
  co executive producer of the series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, with us for
• 6:18
  just a few more minutes and of course a new episode tonight at nine o'clock
• 6:21
  Eastern eight o'clock Central. Brandon, has anyone with the federal government ever reached
• 6:27
  out to you, officially or unofficially to discuss sure. To my surprise,
• 6:33
  two years into owning the property secretly without identifying my identity as the owner,
• 6:41
  after we'd taken data and really advanced the investigation, I was surprised to receive
• 6:46
  call from officials in Washington asking me to fly out with my team to provide
• 6:55
  a full briefing, including data documenting the reality of what we were experiencing,
• 7:03
  and so we flew out with our team of scientists and provided a full overview
• 7:11
  that not only addressed and provided the video evidence of UFO activity that have been
• 7:16
  documented under my stewardship, but also some disturbing things acute medical episodes. Several
• 7:24
  individuals, unfortunately under my watch, have ended up in the emergency room at
• 7:29
  the hospital with mysterious illnesses and injuries as a result of their activity and just
• 7:36
  being on the ranch. We've had some bizarre cattle mutilation events that have occurred
• 7:45
  historically on the property and we've seen that to a degree continue with strange events
• 7:53
  that have been documented this year. On this most recent season, we provided
• 8:00
  that full overview several years after I had purchased the property, and it was
• 8:05
  an eye opening exchange and one that underscored the fact that there are many who
• 8:13
  are taking it very seriously that our airspace is being violated by craft objects of
• 8:20
  unknown origin, that there is more than meets the eye going on in our
• 8:24
  world, and that we truly aren't alone in the universe. And this investigation,
• 8:31
  I think is unique in that it not only documents but brings to the
• 8:37
  public side in a very transparent way. The reality that we're not alone,
• 8:43
  and these disturbing topics merit consideration. Brandon, last question, because I want
• 8:48
  to respect your time and I appreciate you carving some time out for us so
• 8:52
  early in the morning, especially where you are back in Utah. Thank you
• 8:54
  very very much. Is there one thing that you per have witnessed, not
• 9:01
  that the data has shown you, not that video has shown you, but
• 9:05
  you've personally seen on the property that has confounded you the most. Yeah,
• 9:11
  you know. I bought it as a skeptic. As I've mentioned earlier,
• 9:13
  I'd never seen anything like a UFO or an ORB or a ghost or anything
• 9:20
  of this nature until about six months into purchasing the property. I was hosting
• 9:26
  certain dignitaries for what I believed would be just a tour of the property,
• 9:33
  which is the secure site that has been locked down with armed surveillance since since
• 9:39
  nineteen ninety six. Well, on that day everything changed for me. I
• 9:43
  went from being an open minded skeptic to not just a believer but an experiencer.
• 9:50
  When myself and several others, several other witnesses sitting by my side witness
• 9:58
  appear right in in front of us in broad daylight four o'clock in the afternoon
• 10:03
  on October fourteenth, twenty sixteen, what can only be described as a forty
• 10:07
  to fifty foot long flying saucer, a silver, grayish dislike object that maneuvered
• 10:13
  and changed position in ways that just defy any conventional explanation. That event,
• 10:20
  which was preceded by one gentleman, rendered catatonic. Our smartphones being drained from
• 10:30
  us around eighty percent to zero, and other electromagnetic anomalies that have been documented
• 10:37
  left all of us stunned, and it completely changed my entire trajectory. In
• 10:45
  that moment, I went from being a skeptic to not a believer, but
• 10:50
  an experiencer, and that drives our investigation and this hit docuseries to this day.
• 11:00
  We were really thankful to have people tuning in following our journey. My
• 11:05
  deal with the History Channel is that nothing can be faked, contrived, manipulated.
• 11:11
  They have to present everything as it unfolds. I have too much to
• 11:16
  lose, and I put everything on the line as far as my reputation,
• 11:22
  in service to really documenting the reality of the phenomenon and these topics which fall
• 11:30
  very far outside of my conventional business activities within the commercial real estate realm.
• 11:35
  So it's been a crazy ride. Brandon, you are welcome anytime I can
• 11:39
  convince you to come back on the show. I'd love to have more time
• 11:43
  with you. But thank you so much for the time we've had this morning,
• 11:46
  and best of success to you. You got it, Hey, tune
• 11:50
  in and no, the truth is out there. Look forward to having you
• 11:54
  follow on our investigation. Thank you, sir, Brandon Fugel with us and
• 11:58
  again it's the Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Latest episode tonight, nine o'clock Eastern,
• 12:03
  eight o'clock Central on the History Channel.
