Hotel tycoon Robert Bigelow has long been known as a fan of space research. Several years ago he announced the award of $ 50 million that will be paid to the person or company who will be able to build a five able to regularly run between the earth and the Moon. Another eccentric project of moneybags - hotel in orbit. Hotel Nautilus should open its gates (doors by 2015. Bigelow is collaborating with NASA and the space already sent a reduced copy of the hotel.


They admit that the idea for a millionaire, though ambitious, but feasible, capable to make profit. But now it became known about one of his undertaking. Robert Bigelow wanted to contact... with the other world. And acquired a plot of land known as "Hell's ranch" or "the strangest place on earth". Let everyone decide for himself whether to believe in what they say about this place. But prudent millionaire vain money not eject...


The ill-fated purchase


In 1994, the farmer Terry Sherman acquired in Utah (USA) abandoned ranch. The strangeness began in day when the Sherman was transported into a new house furniture. Approached a huge wolf. He behaved as a pet, and was so close to the farmers came the smell of wet dog". Terry fired at the beast the gun. The wolf remained in place. Two more shots... Animal backed away a bit, but the Russian Academy of Sciences or the blood was not to be seen... Only after the sixth shot the wolf ran away.


A few weeks later, Gwen, wife Sherman, again met the wolf is such a great, till his back got to the top of the window of a car. He was accompanied by an animal that looks like a dog that Gwen could not be identified.


In the spring of 1995, Sherman began to notice mysterious objects. Mrs. Sherman saw a huge triangle surrounded by a flashing lights as disco. He silently hung over the machine, before the lightning dart. Somehow Terry saw a silver disk, which disappeared inside the mountain range!


All family members dozens of times observed orange circles, which arose in the Western part of the sky for about one and the same place. One evening Terry has seen inside a strange circle what seemed like another sky. Through the telescope he clearly saw the blue sky: the orange circle looked like a box to somewhere else, where it was still day.


Meanwhile, a mysterious animals continued to appear. Driving along ranch in broad daylight, Terry and Gwen saw a short, very muscular animal with curly red hair and a bushy tail got on the horse. Sherman drove closer and saw predator disappeared before his eyes. Time - and no! They examined the horse and found her feet numerous traces of claws.


At the ranch, it was common to see exotic and colorful birds, clearly not local, not recognized. There were meetings with dark creatures increase over two meters, reminiscent of "Bigfoot".


Farmers dogs seemed to have developed a paranoia. They sat in the booths, too scared to go out for food. One night disappeared six cats. Soon cattle also began to disappear. One cow disappeared from the snow-covered field. Terry saw the traces of hoofs, leading in the field, which cut off abruptly, as if a cow picked up at the sky.


Only 14 of the animals-the Champions Sherman were someone clogged or disappeared. Once the cow was found dead just five minutes after the son of the Sherman saw her alive. "Something" was cut out a hole of a width of 15 cm and a depth of 60 cm on the back of the back. Nor cow nor on the snowy ground no traces of blood.


The secret becomes known


Terry was silent, realizing that sell Rancho someone will be impossible, if the truth about these outrages will be known. But in the end about the ranch learned in the newspaper "the Deseret news, and the life of the Sherman became even more severe at night they were persecuted anomalous phenomena, and during the day, crowds of curious.


Some visitors had a chance to see more than they would like. In June 1996 to Terry came a tall man and started a sort of meditation in the middle of the field, eyes closed, hands up in the air. Suddenly in the nearby forest, something started to move quickly. Terry, who was nearby, he could not discern the shape of the object, but saw that it is big. Then something blurred came out of the woods and walked quickly to the meditator". Standing before him, "it" has published "the uterine animal roar, sounding like a mixture of the bear and lion's growl. According to Terry, it was something almost transparent, reminding disguised creature in the movie "Predator". Terrified "meditator" ran away. Hysterically screaming, he left the ranch and never came back.


At the same time it turned out that the ranch has long been infamous among those living in the valley Indians Utah. They said that this land is located on the path werewolf."


Billionaire buys miracles


Robert Bigelow purchased a ranch of Sherman for two hundred thousand dollars cheaper than paid for it Terry. The Sherman moved to another, less ranch, located 20 miles from the "damned". They could sell the land and more expensive, but wanted to be in a safe place.


Bigelow organized at the ranch constant availability of scientists and former police officers, who are able to collect evidence. Responsible for examining the ranch was the national Institute of advanced science, established in 1995 Robert Bigelow specifically for the study of UFOs and paranormal phenomena. The group settled on a ranch, was headed by a biologist of Colm Kelleher.


The billionaire has made everything to avoid the inflow of curious. In one of the local Newspapers published a warning: "Visitors at the ranch Sherman is not needed. Ranch patrolled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we declare that offenders will be arrested and punished to the fullest extent of the law... and All you'll see if you violate its border, it is a prison..."


One of the conditions of the deal was that Sherman and his wife should come to the ranch and day help scientists: Colm Kelleher suspected that Terry and Gwen was able to attract to itself anomalies.


Research starts


C end of 1996 until the summer of 2006 the group under the leadership of Kelleher worked on the ranch. They have built a command post, put video cameras and other devices throughout, built a new fence, erected checkpoints on all the pastures. It was the most intense and closely monitored ever undertaken in anomalous zones.


In spite of skeptical predictions, anomalous phenomena do not evaporate under the scientific supervision.


"I met several phenomena that are difficult to explain, " said Kelleher. - Personally seen some strange flying glowing balls and was a few metres from the scientist, when he described the object visible in binoculars night vision, which I could not see... One day I noticed the silent fast moving object came from the North, on the big speed has described the right loop over command post and returned to the North."


However, all attempts to photograph or to take them on film were largely futile. After a couple of months surveillance began to emerge frightening manner: the phenomenon seems to be able to predict the actions of scientists. If they placed the camera and observers on the South course activity occurred on the North pasture. If they watched the Central area, the activity could move on a ridge overlooking the ranch.


Events more resembled a game of cat and mouse. According to Kelleher, it looked as if the phenomenon of "all the time ahead of us a couple of steps, and then leaving us business cards as brutally ripped up carcasses of cows, unusual tracks on snow, teasing infrared images".



Shooting dinosaur?


One evening dogs barking warned the group that someone is hiding in a tree near the house. Sherman, who was at that time under the arrangement with Bigelow in his old house, grabbed a shotgun, got in the truck and went over there. Two scientists followed him. Among the branches of the trees they saw a huge yellow eyes reptiles. The head of the animal was feet wide. At the foot of the tree were someone else: something huge, hairy, with massive, muscular front legs and head, like a dog.


Sherman, a great shot, opened fire on both creatures from a distance of 35 meters. Creature on earth seems to have disappeared, and sitting on a tree fell to the ground: Terry heard it hard collapsed. All three rushed through the bushes, thinking that will see a wounded animal, but found neither "reptile", no traces of blood. The next day at the ranch came professional Pathfinder, but he, having examined the site, found nothing.


But one track is still there. Imprint, preserved in the snow, was quite large, three-toed, with sharp claws on the ends of the fingers. He reminded trail VelociRaptor - dinosaur, famous in the movie "Jurassic Park".


Two days before this one animal was found scored. Sherman and his wife spent the day, attaching tags to the ears of newborn calves. Attaching a tag to your ear calf near the house, they went to the pasture somewhere for 45 minutes. While the Sherman were only 200 metres, TelnovOK was divided. His insides someone laid on the ground, and the meat was cut, leaving only the bones and skin. No blood was gone.


Scientists at the ranch quickly inspected the scene and sent the remains of two of pathological laboratory. Both the pathologist said that the calf was divided in two different tools: one similar to heavy machetes and other sharp scissors. As it was done in broad daylight in the open pasture, in view of the farmers, remains a mystery.


The second calf disappeared on the same morning after branding: it was never found. Only 12 animals met a similar end since then, as Bigelow purchased a ranch with the herd.


Hell continues


Opened sometimes the "gate" and in another world. Two members of the group, Jim and Mike, were on a night watch on the edge of the cliff above the pasture. About 2.30 in the morning they noticed a dim light above the earth. In a powerful binoculars night vision could see something like "tunnel" with a diameter of 1.2 meters. And in it a black creature like a man. When the "humanoid" came out of glowing "tunnel", the passage to another world began to shrink and disappear.


Although the researchers had equipment to measure the level of radiation and magnetic fields, it showed nothing unusual. They photographed the incident, but the images disappointed: the video etched very dim, dim the lights, and the rest of the film was not anything.


Then researchers found on pasture three post with video cameras. Exactly at 8.30 three chambers in the Western post has stopped working. When observers came, I saw, that the wires were ripped from the cameras, and a piece of cable length 30 cm disappeared. Scientists returned to the command post, hoping that you will see an attacker to write chambers located on the second gibbet. But on the film nothing is fixed!


In a few cases some invisible force moved on ranches and in animals. One scientist said about the track turbid water in the channel, as if on the water quickly ran great invisible animal. Clearly she could hear splashing and felt pungent stench, but nothing was to be seen. A neighboring farmer reported the same phenomenon two months later.


Now it became clear that the research is at an impasse. One of the scientists said, "We can't just say that aliens or extraterrestrials do all this. It is a mind, always new, something different from themselves still, something is not repeated. It responds to people and facilities. We thought ranch will become a test case for the scientific method, but the science did not seem able to solve such problems".


This year the study has been suspended. Now only hired Bigelow protection dares to approach the gate with the words "Stay away". But the orange light rising above the hills, shows that the gates to other worlds continue to open, letting in our world unknown creatures... the Truth, and the owner of the ranch does not intend to retreat - he is the new projects attack on an alien world...
