    About this audiobook

    For more than fifty years, bizarre events at a remote Utah ranch have ranged from the perplexing to the wholly terrifying: vanishing and mutilated cattle, huge otherworldly creatures, invisible objects emitting magnetic fields, and more. For the family living at Skinwalker Ranch, life was under siege, and no one had been able to explain the horrors that surrounded them...

    But maybe science could. Leading a first-class team of research scientists, Colm Kelleher spent hundreds of days and nights on the Skinwalker property and experienced firsthand many of its haunting mysteries. With investigative reporter George Knapp-the only journalist allowed to witness and document the team's work-Kelleher chronicles the spectacular happenings the team observed personally and the theories of modern physics behind the phenomena. Far from the coldly detached findings one might expect, their conclusions are a clarion call to expand our vision far beyond what we know.

      awesome book was everything i was expecting .....cant wait for the next one.
    • 1/5
      What a massive, steaming pile of crap.

      For a book that pushes the agenda of investigating the paranormal with extreme scientific rigor, and presenting those, the first sentence of the book opens with the writer extrapolating thoughts of people. The Gormans' are presented as perfect humans. Mr. Gorman has perfect eyesight, is an expert marksman and tracker, etc, etc.

      Every witness is totally credible, not a crackpot in the bunch. Every single event, typically witnessed by only one or two people, is accepted as fact.

      And the scientific rigor? Yeah, good luck finding that in this book. You get a bunch of non-connected stories to warm you up for the next happening at the Gorman ranch, and then it's all blown off as this is the first and the last time we witnessed this. I saw no true evidence of any scientific rigor, only mention of many recording and measuring devices.

      And the last few chapters are just laugh out loud funny.

      A massive disappointment. Not worth the paper it's printed on.
    • 5/5
      Really good and makes you think. Don't finish before bed or you'll be up all night pondering the universe
    • 5/5
      Truly thought provoking on an epic scale. The reality of reality is mind-blowing.
    • 3/5
      I just couldn't finish this - good luck if you can. It had a great start and interesting initial stories but then just got wilder and wilder, and wow, talk about flowery writing (and reading... that narrator really has strong "ghost story" foo). Using "science" in the title was a bit disingenuous - it kinda sorta started out using testing and science-like activities but then veered full on into the "that couldn't be the answer so don't test it" narratives. Full of "just missed it"s and "didn't have my camera"s and, quite honestly, if *I* were in a scary place at night, I would TURN ON THE LIGHTS!

      Great job Knapp! This is a good one! I want more!!!
    • 2/5
      To put it bluntly, the information in this might be interesting to those looking for something involving UFOlogy, as the anecdotal evidence is mainly concerned with floating orbs, strange flying shapes, and cattle mutilations. However, the title is almost completely misleading in that there is very little evidence or exploration of skinwalkers.There is a moderate level of anecdotal evidence supplied here, though the author repeatedly keep saying there is so much to discuss. So where is the evidence? And where are the skinwalkers?What you really have here is a few descriptions of UFO-like sightings, and a couple of descriptions of possible cryptozoological creature sightings and experiences coupled with speculation on seemingly inter-dimensional portals on a ranch in Northeastern Utah. The bulk of the book is background information on UFOs, including a lot of history and examples of similar incidents in places other than Skinwalker Ranch. Essentially, a lot of filler, even in the portion of the book that is supposed to be discussing actual evidence but then goes on into a history of Sasquatch sightings in different parts of the world.At one point, the author even states, "the title of this book mentions a hunt for skinwalkers, so it's fair to ask whether we found any." This is contained in the Aftermath and Hypotheses section, which you can correctly determine to mean that there is little or no substantial discussion of skinwalkers previous to this. This last section is more interesting than the rest of the book, as it tries to formulate possibilities for the events on the ranch while parsing through different orthodox and unorthodox theories for paranormal activities. However, this is not enough to justify the time wasted on the entirety of the book nor the misleading title.
