📝 Description
In May 2024, a team at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah (a well-known UFO hotspot) conducted a radar survey aimed at locating an underground magnetic tunnel and detected a disturbance in the air above the mesa. Video and radar data suggested two major blips that coincided with rocket launches, and footage appeared to show something moving in a corkscrew pattern into the mesa. The researchers had previously observed unidentified aerial phenomena at that spot and speculated that a portal might exist there, though there was no confirmed evidence of such a structure. In July 2025, History Channel’s The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch aired Season 6, Episode 91, describing an aerial radar experiment using Lunasonde’s Dynamic Aerial Research Testbed (DART) to scan above the Mesa and the nearby Bubble. The program presents the data as revealing clues about the Bubble and what might lie inside the Mesa, but emphasizes that the findings are data-driven and not yet confirmed as evidence of any portal or portal-like structure.
🔍 Circumstances
Radar survey conducted at Skinwalker Ranch to probe underground features; rockets launched overhead to provoke disturbances; radar imagery produced along with grainy video; prior UAP activity observed at the mesa; researchers speculated about a portal but cautioned that no definitive proof was found. In 2025, a high-tech aerial radar experiment (DART) was used to map above-ground and subsurface features around the Mesa and Bubble, with results described as revealing new clues and data.
👤 Physical Description
Radar imagery described as grainy and unclear, with no clearly identifiable physical structure observed in the footage; apparent disturbances in the air above the mesa; rockets and their plumes visible in conjunction with radar blips.
ℹ️ Additional Details
Skinwalker Ranch has a long history of unexplained phenomena and is frequently described as a UFO hotspot. The May 2024 events involved attempts to locate a subsurface feature; the 2025 updates discuss an advanced radar platform (DART) and refer to the 'Bubble' phenomenon and possible subterranean activity, with investigators stressing ongoing data analysis rather than conclusions about portals.
