Studying the epicenter of anomalous activity, researchers first of all expect to see such UFOs as we imagine them - with hatches, supports, and if they are lucky, then with pilots inside. But the bulk of unidentified objects in any zone are glowing balls.
Panic
The appearance of the blue balloons at the Skinwalker Ranch in Uinta Valley, Utah is no longer surprising.
The former owner of this land, Terry Sherman, said that close up they seem to be made of glass, behind which a blue liquid boils.
Sherman saw a ball in April 1996 making circles around his horse. Terry and his wife Gwen were terrified. But Gwen found the strength to turn on the flashlight and direct the beam to the ball, which immediately darted towards the trees and flew away. Panic released the farmers at the same second.
Terry was sure that the ball was controlling their emotions. Later he noticed that when the balls flew past the house, the light of the lamps dimmed, as if the voltage in the network was falling.

At the end of August 1997, unprecedented events took place. At four o'clock in the afternoon, a herd of cows, frightened by something, rushed to run and, breaking through a barbed-wire fence, found themselves in a neighboring alfalfa field. Terry Sherman called his son for help, both saddled their horses and rushed after the animals. If the animals ate alfalfa at this time of year, the whole herd could fall from colic.
Ice Circles of Unidentified Origin at Skinwalker Ranch
The cows refused to go back. The animals seemed to be frightened by something near a breach in the hedge. Desperate, Terry decided to lead the herd around. The road ran next to a five-meter deep ravine.
Suddenly, a blood-red ball the size of a golf ball flew out of the ravine and rushed towards Terry. He rushed at the very head of his horse, she reared up, and then carried. Terry barely calmed her down. The herd bellowed in alarm. The ball hovered near the head of one of the bulls, and he was spinning in place.
A second similar ball appeared over the field and flew towards Terry. The horse rushed to the ravine. Terry realized that he would not be able to stop, jumped off. Oddly enough, the horse did not break its legs after jumping into the ravine and was now trying to get out of it. Sherman wasted a lot of time getting her out of there and calming her down. The balls disappeared as if they had achieved what they wanted.
Meanwhile, the balls drove the herd to the ravine. The farmers could not do anything: the animals jumped down in panic, breaking their legs and trampling the fallen. A few cows and calves were left lying on the bottom when the rest of the herd got out on another slope.
When it got dark, Gwen came rushing in in an old car. By the light of the moon, all three tried to help the injured animals. And suddenly a blood-red ball appeared several meters above the head of Terry's son! Gwen shouted to her son:
- Watch out! - but he saw nothing and did not understand why his mother was worried.
The ball, as if having lost interest in the son of the farmers, flew up to his parents, sitting in the light of the headlights on, passed the strip of light and disappeared into the sky.
The same night, a blue ball appeared. He hung above the ground, as if examining the place of events, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Leapfrog with dogs
American ufologist Ted Phillips believes that any events in anomalous zones occur in the presence of glowing balls. Every time he set up cameras in places with paranormal activity, balls became the most frequent "catch".
In September 2010, Ted was contacted by the owners of the farm from the anomalous zone of Marley Woods in Missouri. They complained that someone was loosening chains or changing places of guard dogs. The chains of the three dogs were attached to metal posts dug into the ground, and the animals themselves could not break loose.
First, Katy, the owner of the farm, saw that the chain of one of the dogs was tied to the chain of the other with a tight, strong knot. Someone removed the chain from the post, dragged the dog to another dog and tied the links. The ferocious watchdogs were apparently as meek as sheep.
The next day, Katie found that the two dogs were again tied to one another. There were bricks in the adjacent pen, where two heifers were kept. Someone moved them to the other side of the pen. The owners only shrugged their shoulders: usually the dogs immediately raise a noise when someone approaches the fence.
Early in the morning four days later, Katie found the dog tied with a chain inside the paddock. The collar was bolted so tightly to the hedge that the dog could not move.
At the same time, someone pulled the bricks out of the pen and piled them in front of the gate.
The shining ball captured in Marley Woods
The owners decided to swap the dogs and see what happens. In the morning all the dogs and their chains were in place, but someone threw open the gates next to the booths. There were no tracks left on the ground.
Day after day went on like this. Someone let the dogs loose from the chain, changed places, or tied them in the far corners of the farm. Phillips set up three cameras, pointing them to where something unusual happened most often. But he failed to capture the moment of transfer, everything happened as if by magic: in one frame the dog is still calmly sitting in its place, and in the next frame there is no dog or chain.
And finally, the camera recorded the "intruder"! Katie was doing something near the house at sunset, and a ball the size of a baseball suddenly hovered near the doghouse. The next evening, one camera captured a bright light - first high and at a distance from the farmhouse, then lower and closer. It was evident that the ball was close to the post where one of the dogs was sitting on a chain.
The intervention of the ufologist, apparently, did not like the flying objects. One morning Katie went out to feed the dogs and was hit in the side. The hostess stood on her feet, but the dress on her side was soaked in blood. Katie unzipped her dress and found that the side was covered with a network of small scratches …
Ufologists make contact
Several years ago, in winter, the wife of a farmer from Marley Woods called friends for help: her husband unexpectedly ran out of the house, without explaining anything and without really dressing, and disappeared in a blizzard.
The two friends drove around the ranch several times, but found no trace of the missing person. They were about to stop searching, when they suddenly noticed a farmer at a place they had already examined. He stood in deep snow, stunned, in tattered trousers, without one boot and shirt. He was covered in blood from head to waist.
Rescuers dragged him into the car, amazed that the man had not chilled to the bone for several hours while they were looking for him. On the way home they began to ask him why he had gone into the storm. The farmer replied:
- These are yellow balls. They were there, I had to go to them.
He did not say anything more to either his friends or his wife.
When Ted Phillips found out about this incident, the farmer was no longer alive. The ufologist decided to visit the forest next to the ranch of the deceased.
“We settled down on a clearing surrounded by dense forest and began to watch,” he recalls. - The first five hours there was nothing. Then coyotes howled, and other animals responded. At the same moment, eight amber-yellow luminous balls appeared in the air, which lined up in a horizontal line. There was complete silence. After four minutes, the balls suddenly disappeared.
But that was not all. The smaller balls were replaced by a larger amber-yellow object. It hovered at the tops of the trees for two minutes, then abruptly soared vertically upward and hung again.
He came back, hung for about thirty seconds and again rushed upward, and then flew off to the right at a distance equal to the vertical rise. Such vertical and horizontal movements were repeated for half an hour. And then the object flew away horizontally at great speed.
After speaking with people living in the area, Ted Phillips' team recorded 266 sightings of yellow balls made by 190 eyewitnesses.
The tip of the iceberg
Researchers who studied Skinwalker Ranch and Marley Woods independently came to the conclusion that the shining balls are just a visible part of something larger, hidden in another dimension. If you touch a sheet of paper with your fingers, then the conditional two-dimensional creature living on it will think that five circles have appeared in his world. It will not understand that this is only a part of an intelligent three-dimensional being - a person.
The impact of a four-dimensional creature on our world will look exactly the same, and its parts, accessible to our perception, will seem to us to be round bodies not connected to each other. It can enter a locked room as easily as we can cross a line drawn on the asphalt.
At the same time, it will see the room from the inside and outside at the same time! We can bend or wrinkle paper as we like (analogue of a two-dimensional world), and a four-dimensional creature is capable of bending and deforming our space.
It is very difficult to study higher-order reality with instruments of the three-dimensional world. And it is not known who studies whom. Future stalkers will have to learn to deal not only with three-dimensional creatures from adjacent worlds, but also with the guardians of anomalous zones from higher dimensions.
