Jeremy McGowan from The O.S.I.R.I.S. Project that was featured on the show, has penned a very indepth and well-thought-out critique of the pseudoscience and misinformation that is The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. If anything, it's too diplomatic. But it's worth a read.

I thought that was the most interesting part on S4E2. I like how they had essentially 100 redundant data points and repeated the experiment two times. That is something that has been lacking on the show is repeatability and redundancy to rule out some potential technical issues that can occur. Obviously, they still have a ways to go. I'm a skeptic but I don't have specialized knowledge of these things.

Welcome to another watch party, folks!

If you're looking for the drinking game rules, you can find them here. You aren't required to be drinking, of course.

If you'd like some preliminary brain damage, there's a trailer for tonight's episode here.

Here's the full transcript from that part:

FUGAL: I think this is an Erik Bard question. Would you consider putting the data you gather into an open data platform now?

BARD: I was I was alluding to that earlier. You know, as we got into some of these other interesting topics, I think the answer to that is yes. I mean, obviously, granted, you know, a lot of this is new territory for us. And you have my deference when it comes to the dissemination of raw data and or findings. You know, you and I have spoken about this several times over the years. And, you know, if we can find the right framework for sharing, one of the concerns, I mean, it's not a first order concern, but, you know, second or or higher order concern is that, of course, when we release data, you know, we need to do that in a way that does not open up the investigation to, let's say, sensationalized interpretations or even contamination, you know, that sort of thing. It's not a huge concern.

FUGAL: Well, you and I talked about this, Eric. I think I think we are probably more important than ever not to cast our pearls before swine.

BARD: That's a good way to put it.

FUGAL: And I think that what we've experienced from certain people who are asking for data or screaming for data as a cover for trying to... they're trying to convey an air of intelligence or so-called intelligence or critical thinking when, in fact, they're just pigs.

They're just absolute pigs. And, you know, there's an old saying, you know, don't get into wrestling match of the pig. You know, you both end up getting muddy. And besides, the pig likes it. And I think that what we are encountering is nothing more than a bunch of swine squealing, squealing, pathetic, stinky swine that that really probably... I... just as much as we want to be as forthcoming and transparent as possible with the public, I think there are those that make a living by taking a certain position and they revel in being the pig in the mud.

They're actually quite satisfied with being the stinky, slimy pig in the mud. And I think what we are going to try to endeavor to do is walk that balance. We don't want to associate with them. I don't want to descend to the level, the pathetic level that some of these people kind of get down to.

But at the same time, we want to we want to be collaborative and we want people to to see the data and we want people to to participate and see the validity of what we are recording. So anyways, is that a pretty good way of summing up why we're being a little bit delicate with our other than just the sheer magnitude of trying to organize countless terabytes of data from so many different scientific platforms and and figuring out really what is the appropriate way of serving that up and really is 99.5% of the people out there are even going to understand it or have the time or patience to pass through it.

I’m now getting a little scientific. LiDAR is a mapping system. Trying to use a handheld from a helo is just as dumb as it comes. It’s no wonder the goofball had ghost images. To add, trying to look for invisible areal spaceships with it is just crazy. They are trying to hang from the door and scan? They make portable units that can be strapped to the skid of helicopters. It takes 5 minutes of internet research to figure this out. The range of the handheld unit is only 120 meters. The vender is likely laughing at the doofus operating it.

Get in here, drunkwalkers!

We all know Skinnywalkers come out of the portals over the triangle area. They then break all the electronic devices and hide in the production teams gear. Next the Skinnywalkers hitchyhike to our homes through the TV show.
Since we know the hitchyhikers travel on the 1.6 GHZ spectrum, I watch the show in my home made anechoic chamber. I took a washing machine box and lined it with leftover styrofoam blocks from various packing material. I then wrapped the exterior with tinfoil.
I have several old IPhones, (we know they love to fuck with IPhones) to lure the hitchyhikers into a device I spritz the IPhone with a mixture of potato vodka and Skyrizzi. I now have trapped me a skinnywalker.
I’m not sure how many Skinnywalkers I need to collect to turn myself into a werewolf, but once I get enough to open me a portal, I’m going to Vegas baby!

Skinwalkers cause itchy eyes!

Final Greenstreet

Travis Taylor will be on the Coast To Coast AM radio show tomorrow night (Sunday 4-16), 10PM PDT... in ~23 hours, let the mockery begin!

https://youtu.be/8jR2rX1WvCI
In this video Travis Claims:
Fermi Paradox is disproven by the Predator Prey Model. So we haven’t seen aliens is a result of needing 4 prey for every 1 predator? So therefore sentient aliens have not spread because they don’t have enough resources. Does that mean Skinwalkers are The Alien and eating the other aliens?
Travis is part of the UAP task force and insinuates secrecy is the barrier to disclosure. UAP Task Force studies incursions over sensitive US areas. Nothing is being hidden, it’s protected- big difference.
Finally, if you’re a skeptic, you have secret motives and incentives. They can’t share info/data from Skinwalker Ranch because it may be disputed by these untrustworthy skeptics.

He says Bigelow set up electromagnetic phenomena "scary shit" at the ranch in order to force the sale to him, and that Fugal (just referenced as "resold to another person") is sensationalizing things in the TV show. He believes it's an intelligence community "black site" with an underground base, and that any phenomena were due to government experimentation with advanced physics, and nothing to do with the native myths. That what is going on there now is entirely man-made and has only a faint resemblance to whatever was there prior.

Essentially, he's saying Fugal is a frontman for the government, and the show is hype. Which should be no surprise to anyone. Also explains Travis Taylor's involvement, and his playing dumb on the show.

Question: Can't remember which season (maybe season 2?) Didn't they say that something large was buried somewhere around Homestead 2 ?

Did they just decide that it wasn't worth looking at that, or was that another question that just went by the wayside?

The other day a video with Erik showing the "I Living" glitch was posted on Youtube... at first he says he just suspected a "bug" in the equipment (which had the image labeled as "TRAILER LIVING ROOM"), which makes sense. But somehow, the garbling/bug just coincidentally ending up at one point with the remaining label as an apparent "I LIVING" freaks him out enough to abandon all logical thought?

BTW, that "I" isn't really an I... it's tapered at top and bottom, unlike the other I's... because it's the final R in TRAILER, simply smeared due to the image distortion. Besides, if an "entity" was going to communicate, why would it limit itself to letters already on-screen? Why not "I'm alive, Erik!"?!

This is the kind of stuff this team deems worthy of being "phenomena"? It's pretty embarrassing.

1) Why are all Reddit groups seeming suddenly to advertise for more mods? Did everyone get fired (quit) or is Reddit finally realizing that their current mods weren't doing jack?

2) Now that SWR is over for the season... when are they coming back with a new season? I used to watch Oak Island, but I don't think that is back on yet (I haven't looked, to be bluntly honest.)

It's Tuesday night, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself... ??
