A 512-acre property southeast of Ballard in the Uinta Basin with the strangest ownership history in Utah: the Sherman family sold it to the aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow in 1996 for $200,000, and it went to Brandon Fugal in 2016 for about half a million. The claims run to cattle mutilations, lights, and a creature with red eyes. Be clear-eyed about the evidence: Bigelow’s own National Institute for Discovery Science watched the place for years and came away with no proof, the skeptic Robert Sheaffer argues the phenomena are almost certainly illusory and the story may have been built before the sale, and James Randi handed Bigelow a Pigasus Award over the funding. PRIVATE property, actively patrolled, and the pin is the story, not an invitation.
