DOW-UAP-D174, Utah Ranch Investigation Report, April 2010

Official Conclusion

No conclusion reached; investigation ongoing. Hair DNA identified as raccoon and domestic dog; RF signal origin requires further research.

Official Description

This document is an administrative, programmatic, or contractor-produced record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As part of the broader program record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, executed, or described at a particular point in time. This April 2010 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) investigation report documents field deployments to a Utah property and surrounding communities during March and April 2010. The report states that BAASS personnel interviewed local residents, law enforcement officers, ranchers, business owners, and tribal community members about reported anomalous events; used handheld sensors to collect environmental measurements; planned plant-based biosensor experiments; and sought photographic, acoustic, and chemical evidence of purported anomalous phenomena. It also records extensive reported accounts involving “dog-like bipedal creatures,” orbs of light, “little people,” “prehistoric-looking” birds, among other phenomena, and states that BAASS intended to use interactive methods to attempt communication with the presumed source of reported anomalous activity.

Key Findings

• →Eleven independent witnesses reported a bipedal dog-like creature and/or orbs of light near the ranch. Reports range from about 20 years ago to April 2010.
• →Hair samples collected from barbed-wire fences near reported Skinwalker sightings were DNA-tested: one matched raccoon (Procyon lotor), and three shared a canine HVI sequence common in domestic dogs (9.8-13.8% of random dogs).
• →BAASS RF sweeps on the mesa recorded unexplained signals at about 1210-1216 MHz and 1232-1238 MHz that were absent the previous day. These fall in bands allocated primarily for military and satellite use, and their origin was not identified.
• →Witnesses described red, blue, white and golden balls of light that hovered, darted, mimicked vehicle speed or shot straight up. One witness reported facial numbness, warmth and ear ringing when a red ball came within about 4 inches.
• →Seven Moultrie game cameras and biosensor plant and seed experiments were established. No results were yet available and the plant analysis was explicitly premature.
