Everyone knows Skinwalker Ranch is the most haunted place in America, but did you know the Pentagon spent millions investigating it and other paranormal hotspots from 2008 to 2010? The true story of a major military intelligence program to make sense of UFOs and orb attacks was detailed in the 2021 best-selling book "Skinwalkers at The Pentagon." Dane reviews this book

and its completely novel picture of certain UFO-like phenomena. Although the authors are focused on the technical details of their $20 million military intelligence program to investigate UFOs and weird phenomena, the phenomena they studied revealed itself to be more sinister than anything described in the works of John Keel or Jacques Vallee. Skinwalkers at The Pentagon describes investigators who were haunted by cancer-causing and immune-system destroying balls of light. These phenomena shook up the Pentagon brass so badly they labeled it 'demonic' and shut the research program down (although they may have done that no matter what the researchers found). While striving to be scientific and open-minded, the authors raise questions about whether their enthusiasm for creating a new science of the paranormal led them to throw caution to the wind at the expense of the health of nearly a half dozen government agents. Dane identifies the strengths and weaknesses of this challenging and important book in a critical book review.
