You know, he tells me some of the things that happened when the previous work was done out there.

And he's also extremely impressed with the fact that, you know, the technology is so much cheaper and more available for us than it was for Bigelow's team.

So we have an opportunity to do a lot more now at Skinwalker Ranch than Bigelow's team ever did simply due to cost and availability.

And what effect it had or what it stimulated for that era, though, I think was it was a hotspot for activity that made people take serious enough that they would start a program and start go investigating these phenomena.

Well, I have mixed feelings about it.

Had they given us the information, at least we might not have reinvented the wheel on some of the experiments they did.

But they mostly observed.

And the data they got, why they won't release it to us, I don't understand all of the details of that.

It may be that Bigelow still thinks some of it is proprietary to him or the government owes him something for it or what.

I don't know.

but anytime you start on a scientific project, that's part of the scientific method.

Actually, the first step of the scientific method is to do your homework and read all the papers that's ever been written about the topic, and so doing that, it would have been nice to have had the previous experiments and data that was gathered from the Bigelow work, but I've never been able to see any of that.

It's never been released to any of us, so we're basically starting over, and I think we've done all right.

Oh, wow.

So if I had a ginormous budget, so to speak, yeah, I would have I would pay for some infrared satellite imagery and detailed space imagery done of the area.

I would also probably set up an entire grid on every like one every square meter of the ranch, have a set of sensors that would be

seismometry, microwave, magnetic, gamma rays, across the board, you name it, and have all that come into a major server system in the command center that we could continually run with artificial intelligence and machine learning, looking through it for

any types of anomalous data, as well as I would have an array of cameras and radio telescopes and radar constantly sweeping the sky above it.

But all that stuff is expensive.

And the biggest thing, even if you had the equipment, you gather so much data, it would take expensive computer systems and people running them to go through all the data.
