Dr. Travis Taylor is no stranger to the world of paranormal, as he has appeared on History Channel productions like “Ancient Aliens,” “The Tesla Files,” and “ The UnXplained,” so Taylor was was an obvious candidate to be the lead scientist on History’s non-fiction series “The Secret Of Skinwalker Ranch,”which debuts March 31. Taylor was skeptical at first at if the phenomena was a natural phenomena, a classified defense project or something supernatural in nature. Since taping, Taylor claims he now suffers “horrifying nightmares”, and experienced radiation poisoning and sickness at one point. Taylor also mentioned he witnessed a similar phenomena to the Tic-Tac UFO sightings.
The series promises expert testimonials from Taylor and other scientists, as well as never-before seen footage from the show’s rare access to the anomalous 512-acre property located in Utah’s Uinta Basin. The network is also providing a live stream of the ranch starting Monday. As far as what the show will reveal, audiences will have to wait, but Taylor teases some new revelations.
“(On the data) Startling, extremely anomalous and unexplainable,” said Taylor in a conference call. “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.”
Former Bigelow Aerospace contractors like Chris Marx, and others have painted a different picture of the Skinwalker Ranch, as opposed to some documentaries that play up the “threat”, and some allege the site was used for weapons testing, and have suffered physical harm because of it. Taylor dismisses the man-made theories about the ranch.
“As a person who does weapons testing as his day job I’d tell you that it would be so highly-crazy illegal that it is nonsense,”Taylor said. “There would be people in jail. After what I observed what I observed my first day on the ranch, we had a long discussion that if we were observing was man-made, and someone was violating federal laws we needed to alert the authorities if we could prove it was man-made, but I realized what we were measuring was even impossible for mankind to make, and at that point is when I dropped that line of discussion. I realized flat-out mankind was not doing this… and it is probably a skeptic’s coping mechanism, because I did it too; the first conclusion to an odd/strange thing is ‘oh, that is a classified government program/ and they are doing human-testing on us.’ There were CIA programs in the 1960s/1970s that I don’t think they are proud of where people were involved in those experiments, and so you look at it nowadays you realize we can’t do that and won’t get away with it. I’m thoroughly convinced this is NOT some top-secret weapons testing program. There’s oversight committees in the Senate, and eventually somebody would say ‘hey, wait a minute; y’all cant do that.’”
Taylor’s pedigree includes 25 years of work with programs for the Department of Defense and NASA, and currently serves the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command as the principal investigator for Quantum Entanglement and Space Technology. Taylor holds PhD.s in Optical Science and Engineering, Aerospace Systems Engineering, a Master’s degrees in Physics, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering,and Astronomy, and a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. His recent projects include advanced propulsion concepts, quantum teleportation, space telescopes, space based beamed energy systems, and “future combat technologies,” which all sound like topics that sounded impossible years ago.
“I’m also a science fiction writer; I’ve written like 23 best-selling science fiction novels,” said Taylor. “So I have an interesting point of view, or more of an open mind/imaginative point of view of phenomena I see , and what I can tell you that the phenomena that was observed when I was there was beyond physics of mankind.”
