The Department of Defense released another batch of government records concerning unidentified flying objects (UFOs) on Friday, including reports of alleged encounters with strange creatures at a ranch in northeastern Utah in 2010.

The release marks the seventh installment of documents made public since May, following President Donald Trump’s directive earlier this year to disclose government records related to extraterrestrial life and unidentified anomalous phenomena.

White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the administration was committed to making the information available to the public, allowing Americans to draw their own conclusions about the material.

The newly released records detail an investigation prompted by reports of unusual lights, unidentified creatures and other unexplained activity near Fort Duchesne, Utah. Although the ranch’s name was redacted, the location is near Skinwalker Ranch, a privately owned property known for reports of UFO sightings and paranormal activity. The documents do not explicitly identify the property as Skinwalker Ranch.

The investigation involved Utah officials and two visits by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), a research organization established by aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow that conducted government-contracted studies of unidentified aerial phenomena.

Investigators interviewed 25 people who claimed firsthand encounters with unusual lights or creatures. Those interviewed reportedly included longtime local residents, police officers, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Native Americans, a shaman and the director of a local Fish and Wildlife office.

Witnesses described a range of alleged phenomena, including glowing orbs, large dog-like creatures moving on two legs, unusual animal sounds, small humanoid figures and a supposedly enormous maggot-like creature. Some accounts included drawings based on interviews with witnesses who said they had directly encountered the creatures.

One witness described a seven-foot-tall, dog-like figure that could run on two legs. Other accounts described small, hairy creatures approximately three feet tall, with long arms and movements compared to those of chimpanzees or orangutans.

Investigators also examined physical evidence. One witness claimed his dogs had chased a Skinwalker-like creature through a barbed-wire fence shortly before BAASS personnel arrived. The witness’s family said they had also encountered a shadowy figure that day.

Four hair samples were collected during the investigation. Although the samples were initially examined in connection with the witness accounts, DNA analysis identified three as belonging to a dog and the fourth as belonging to a raccoon. The findings did not establish that the samples came from an unknown creature.

The report outlined plans to gather additional photographic evidence, interview more witnesses, and install sensors and cameras around the property. Investigators also considered using transgenic plants as potential biological sensors for radiation and magnetic fields. Another proposal involved games and puzzles intended to explore whether communication with the reported anomalous source was possible.

A Skinwalker is a figure in traditional Navajo folklore commonly associated with harmful supernatural abilities and the capacity to transform into animals. The government documents record allegations involving creatures described as Skinwalkers, but they do not establish that the reported beings were supernatural or extraterrestrial.

The latest disclosure adds to the growing collection of government records concerning UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena. However, the witness accounts and investigative material do not provide definitive proof of alien life or explain the reported sightings.
