I bought it as a, as someone who had not seen a UFO or a ghost or an orb and was approaching the, uh, the property as someone who believed that there was most likely a natural prosaic explanation for what had been reported there.

So, you know, with that, uh, as the understanding, I, I closed on the property and,

Escorted Bigelow Security off the property and brought in my own security detail, led by Dragon, that you see on the television series, and a team of scientists, a multidisciplinary group of professionals.

that would bring, I think, a new focus and energy to the site and to the investigation.

And to have this unfold in real time for the general public to see has been a very exciting opportunity.

Yeah, good question.

You know, I by design, I pulled together a closely held group of of individuals that I could trust that had no hidden agendas that would preserve the integrity of the research and frankly, help us protect.

the integrity of the ranch and the investigation.

Dr. Christopher Lee, who we brought on and feature in Season 2 to be unveiled this next week, is a world-renowned radiation oncologist.

He is really at the top of his field when it comes to medical research and where we have seen a number of our team members end up in the hospital.

with serious illnesses, with with serious injuries that continue to be unexplained and mysterious, we felt it was important to bring a higher level of attention to the health and safety protocols on the ranch.

I also, in bringing these close confidants together, I wanted to bring people that came from different backgrounds and different areas of expertise.

Jim Morse, who is a ranch manager there, has known me since I was 18 years old.

He was my first big commercial real estate development client when I was 18.

18 years old, I jumped into the commercial real estate business and focused on leasing and selling Class A office developments.

And Jim Morse at the time was breaking ground on a signature Class A office park.

And through that experience of being engaged with him, we really developed a close relationship that endures to this day.

And the thing that he brought to the table was

was a genuine love for the Native American cultures.
