History’s long- running investigative series on the world’s great paranormal hotspot “The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch”, as well as its spinoff series “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch” are set to return with new seasons on June 3.

Ranch owner Brandon Fugal and his team are back; led by principal investigator and chief scientist Erik Bard, aerospace engineer, astrophysicist, and lead scientist Dr. Travis Taylor. The team is used to encountering phenomena in the sky through orbs, lights and UAPs, mysterious creatures creature, and other unexplained incidents, this time the secret could be right under their feet. The season six debut “Bubble Trouble” has the team literally digging deep using science and investigating to study an anomalous, massive object located below the mesa located at the ranch. “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch” visits a Northern California hotspot of Mt. Shasta notorious for mysterious, anomalous energy.
Both franchises boast a “data-drive” approach to investigating events that are hard to measure.
“(On the data) Startling, extremely anomalous and unexplainable,” Taylor said in a past interview with punkrockandufos on the findings the show has uncovered through the years. “What I can say is I’m 80 percent certain it is not a natural phenomena,( and that’s not say Mother Nature can’t do amazing things), and 99 percent certain it is not a man-made phenomena.”
On season six, episode 1, what is actually underground may align with a lot of theories and beliefs about whatever is underground in these hotspots can be directly related to what is viewed above ground and in the air. Critics of the show often cite that sometimes these types of shows produce more questions than answers, but the people who have worked on the ranch offer a differing view.
“Long running data gathering programs like Project Hessdalen in Norway and Skinwalker Ranch in Utah show that some data can be slowly and painstakingly gathered with resources and time, but it takes years, not months,” Colm Kelleher PhD, co-author of “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon: An Insiders' Account of the Secret Government UFO Program” previously said to punkrockandufos.com.
