The existence of aliens has been a subject of discussion for centuries. Many say that there is historical proof of their contact with the human race. The Pyramids of Egypt, the Stonehenge in England, sites from the Inca Empire, crop circles and more display an intricacy that people claim are impossible to be handcrafted by man.

Area 51, the old Air-force base in Nevada, is believed to be a center of alien activity and is under government protection because they are supposedly hiding extra-terrestrial beings and equipment behind its walls.

Another American location that many claim is a hotbed for supernatural phenomenons is the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.

There have been reports of unexplainable other-worldly happenings on the site like encounters with strange creatures, UFO sightings and flashing lights across the sky, dating back to the early 1800s.

History is delving into the mysteries surrounding the infamous paranormal site in a new non-fiction series titled 'The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch'.

Release date

'The Secret of Skywalker Ranch' premieres on March 31 at 10 pm ET/PST on History channel.

Plot

(History)

The series comprises unseen footage gathered from the 512-acre property located in Utah's Uintah Basin. The Skinwalker Ranch and the area around it has been deemed as the 'UFO alley' since the 1950s.

Claims of strange occurrences and supernatural activities have garnered international media attention. The area has a history of extra-terrestrial sightings and bizarre phenomena including animal mutilations and other paranormal mysteries spanning over 200 years. 

Robert Bigelow, a billionaire businessman, bought the property in 1996 and immediately got to work, conducting his own experiments to examine the ranch and its association with the supernatural. His research findings were never made public knowledge.

Three years ago, the property was sold to a real estate magnate and tech investor who gathered a team to look into the mystery surrounding the ranch.

The shocking discoveries made by scientists and experts are getting documented on camera for the first time in history. The investigator will work with the latest state-of-the-art technology including lasers, ground-penetrating radars, drone thermography, as well as other scientific methods to uncover all the secrets.
