After reading a recommendation of this book by Laura, I decided to read it for myself, and I was nicely surprised. The writers, George Knapp and Colm Kelleher have put together an amazing study and critique of the events surrounding the now infamous Skinwalkers Ranch.
One thing that struck me as I read through the book, was how the writers managed to keep a very open mind as to any possible explanations for the unfolding phenomena they were experiencing, and being told about. I found it rather refreshing that they did not try to hint at or suggest any one explanation or POV or way of describing how or why these events took place at this particular spot. They simply catalogued and collated all the evidence and data, and leave any opinions as to what may have been behind the phenomena for the reader to make up their own mind.
The back history of the story involving the Ute Indians and rival tribes gives the reader an idea of where the legends of the Skinwalkers come from, but in no way explain the varied and wide ranging phenomena detailed in the book.
One major thing I picked up from the pages of this book was that whatever, or whoever was toying with the Gorman family, were doing this in an effort to crank up the fear factor. In fact I too had some chills of fear run down my spine when reading about some of the Gormans encounters with the orbs of varying colours, and the blue orbs in particular. The behavior of the orbs seemed to be described as being under intelligent control and used to instill fear and dread into the Gormans. I can’t help but empathise with the feelings of fear and dread the Goreman family must have gone through and the ordeals they were subjected to over a prolonged period. It seems that the hyperdimensional forces involved had not meant any direct physical harm to come to the Goreman family (just their livestock and main source of income), but to cause the maximum distress, fear and hardship and cause strong negative reactions and become food for them. I think this is the part of the book that really caused me a bit of a chill to my core, being a reader looking into their lives, the skill and ruthless efficiency with which this campaign of ongoing terror was perpetrated on the Goremans is terrifying. In my hypothesis I believe that the lack of terror on the part of the NIDS team was the only reason they weren’t themselves subject to the same array of threatening phenomena. They were looking at the ranch with the cool rationality of scientists and researchers, and it seems the forces at work on the ranch knew this and reacted to this, and realized the NIDS team would not be as easy a prey or food source and so the activity was less frequent and less bizarre.
I was grateful to be reading this book as I was having a discussion on Orbs with my partner, and had suggested that in my experience, the orbs may be some form of energetic representation of STS or STO energies bleeding through or investigating our reality, possibly even Hyperdimensional probes. This book helped me a great deal, to gain further understanding and data on the (seemingly) many varieties of orbs, both visible and invisible and what they are capable of doing.
I hope that any readers who have read through any of the QFS’s published works would find this book equally as startling and engrossing as I have and I cannot recommend it enough.
