On the evening of July 11, 2018 my brother, and I were parked at the intersection of 4000S, and 6500E. Our location was approximately one mile south of the entrance to the enigmatic Skinwalker Ranch. I was in the drivers seat, and my brother was sitting in the passenger seat. Our intention, was to monitor the area around the ranch, in the hope that we might observe some paranormal activity. It was indeed, an extremely creepy setting, with thunderstorms in the area. My vehicle was facing west, and the sun had already set with a sliver of light poking through the clouds that was reflected off the hood of my car. We had the passenger side window rolled down, so we could more easily observe the ranch lying directly to our north. The wind was howling out of the east northeast and was blowing into that open window.
When you watch the unedited video of the “Skinwalker Anomalies Caught On Dash Cam”, you hear the roaring of the wind inside the car. It was so loud that we had a difficult time hearing each other talk. Alot is going on in the video which is a little over two minutes long. Some of the anomalies are quite easy to see and there are others that happen very quickly and are more difficult to discern. I would encourage viewers who want to see the more subtle occurrences that they view it in a room with little to no ambient light . There are several what I call “purple flashes” that appear periodically during the video and are difficult to see unless you are in complete darkness.
I had a 4Sight Dash Cam that was mounted a little right of center about half way up the windshield. This particular make and model of dash cam contains Starlite Technology. This is supposed to be one of the best dash cams on the market to enhance night video recording. If you are not familiar with a dash cam it records continuously once it is turned on. If you want to capture, and save a file of something you want to record, all you have to do is push the “Event Button”. This will save that file of what has been recorded during the previous two or three minutes before the Event Button was pressed.
My brother was tasked with the responsibility of pressing the Event Button. What prompted me to ask my brother to push the Event Button? I was sitting in the drivers seat and glanced to my right looking in front of my brother in the area over the hood on the passenger’s side of the vehicle when I saw a blue colored image quickly appear and disappear. I knew that I had not imagined it and asked my brother to press the Event Button to save the file. I told him that I had seen “something”, and I wanted to make sure we were able to record it. He did not see it, but I knew for sure that an amorphous blue-colored light or image had made a brief appearance in front of my brother outside of the windshield over the hood of the car.
That was the only thing we saw that particular evening, that I would consider out of the ordinary. However, it is quite obvious that several strange things were going on in front of us that we were quite oblivious to if it were not for this dash cam video. Following are the time stamps and description of what I have observed after watching the video several dozen times:
00:13 A small light flashes in the sky above, and to the right of the lights from the farm down the road.
00:25 Lightning flashs left side of frame.
00:40 An image on the right hand side of the screen appears. It looks like it has some kind of protrusions, and reminds me of the suckers you might find on the tentacle of a squid or octopus.
00:41 For some unknown reason, I open the drivers side door. You can hear the open door signal dinging, because the keys are still in the ignition.
00:42 A purple colored flash shoots across the “octopus image” from the lower left towards the upper right of frame.
00:46 You hear the driver side door slam shut.
00:50 I turn the headlights on, and the “octopus image” disappears. Small white “sparkles” briefly appear left of frame, a few feet over the pavement on the road.
00:55 I turn the headlights off. I have only one parking light that works on the drivers side of the car. You will notice the yellow glow from tha parking light illuminating the area in front of the vehicle
1:05 A light colored purple flash appears in the upper right hand corner of frame. It happens very quickly, and is better seen in a room with little to no light.
1:09 Light purple flash appears in about the four o’clock position of frame.
1:38 A purple streak or flash appears again, moving from top to bottom of frame, in about the five o’clock position.
1:43 A noticeable increase in wind speed occurs. It gets a lot louder in the vehicle from the force of the wind entering the passenger side window.
1:45 An orange-colored “orb” appears from below the hood, moving right to left quickly disappearing into the darkness.
1:58 Purple colored “entity” materializes on the right side of the screen for approximately one second, and dematerializes.
2:07 Video clip ends.
As previously mentioned the the only thing I observed was that blue image. I believe that the purple colored “entity” that appeared at 1:58 is what I saw and prompted me to ask my brother to push the Event Button. Why it does it appear purple in the video? I am not sure, but I did a test with a blue light and suspended it over that same area of the hood of my car at night and recorded it with my 4Sight Dash Cam. The recorded clip did show the light and its color was indeed blue. Certainly not a scientifically valid test, however, I wanted to see if there was an inherent artifact associated with the dash cam that might make blue colors recorded at night appear to be purple.
There was a lot going on during this two minute and seven second clip that we were totally unaware of. It was as if we were being monitored, scanned, or observed in a very clandestine manner. The orange colored “orb” at 1:45 appears from below and rises up over the hood of my car. If you pause the video at the appropriate spot you will see that the light from the orb is reflected off the hood. Also, in the unedited version of the video, just two seconds before the orb appears, the wind speed increases dramatically. Is it possible that the increase in wind speed and the emergence of the orb are related? Could whatever was observing us also influence the meteorological environment around the car? Was there some sort of cause and effect with the production and “launching” of the orb requiring an increase in wind speed before it was released in front of my car? Or was this some sort of display we should have noticed at the time it was produced to frighten us and cause us to leave the area? If that were so it didn’t work because neither one of us saw the orb. Maybe it was some sort of clandestine surveillance apparatus that “peaked up” over the hood of the car for a split second as it deftly disappeared into the night. The “Purple Entity” might serve the same kind of function. It was there very briefly and also disappeared. I am surprised to this day, that I actually saw it all.
I am curious about the purple flashes. I have recorded dozens of clips at night with my dash cam and this is the only one that contained those flashes. The purple flashes preceded the appearance of the the “orb” and “entity”. Were the purple flashes some sort of mechanism used to construct or instruct the release of the orb and entity?
There is a lot to chew on here in this short clip. But it also makes me wonder. If all of these strange things that were recorded occurred in a matter of a couple minutes. What else was happening around us in the dark that we were not aware of during the many hours we spent at that lonely and creepy intersection just south of Skinwalker Ranch.
Wow! This is very good footage of whatever it is!! The orange flash of light is my favorite….though, the purple flashes do not disappoint either!
Hey Wendy. I would like to know what it is. This footage was taken only one mile south of Skinwalker Ranch. I have been watching the new series “The Secret Of Skinwalker Ranch” on The History Channel hoping to see if they have captured similar phenomena on camera. Thanks again for your comments and for watching my videos.
