The 1953 UFO Crash Site in Garrison, Utah

By 1 Comment

Agent Norman investigates inside the triangle of the alleged Garrison, UT UFO crash site of 1953. This triangle is located east of the DRES facility operated by the United States Forest Service in the Pine Valley Hardpan. The triangle portion is visible in satellite imagery and has been determined to be an unnatural anomaly by geologists. The story from 1953 states that a bar shaped UFO crashed here and was so large that the military was unable to move or relocate it. So they buried it. Norman’s findings are consistent with large swaths of the debris field not compacted at all compared to the rest of the Hardpan.

Excuse Me! It’s “Life Levitated” not “Life Elevated!”

By 1 Comment

All this time the state of Utah has printed on it’s license plates; “Life Elevated” when in actuality it’s “Life Levitated” because of all the anomalies in the skies from chrome colored flying saucers to orange orbs at night; Utah has been a teaming hot-bed of anomalous activity comparable to a Steven Spielberg movie. Our state contains one of America’s biggest paranormal hotspots, the Skinwalker Ranch up in Fort Duchesne, Utah, in the Southeastern part of the state. The Uintah Basin itself is home to both extraordinary UFO and bigfoot sightings. Adventurers go missing every year in the Uintah Mountains and Book Cliffs and people have disappeared without a trace in many other secluded spots of Utah’s backcountry. We have a state full of mysteries and unexplained happenings.

The Utah UFO Fest will have its haters, detractors and critics but we will stay the course because we know a lot of YOU believe in the many things that cannot be explained about our strange world. We are not the Cedar City UFO Fest because this is a state-wide celebration for Utah. We want to promote Utah as part of the event’s marketing. We want to grow as one of Utah’s most popular festivals in the coming years and with your help, we can achieve this as we continue to grow our small army! Life in our state is truly LEVITATED!

We finally found a solution for booking our Wild West #Area51 Tours to Pioche and Rachel, Nevada and beyond. We teamed up with FareHarbor who was willing to help us get their proprietary booking system set-up and integrated with the Utah UFO Festival’s website. We have tours already available for booking and will be adding a few more tour itineraries to the main queue this weekend.

We want to offer something a little more curious and unique than the regular national parks tours that are offered around the American Southwest like a Grand Circle experience but with a lot more zing. It will be different and we are passionate about it!

Our official organization is called the Anomaly Conservatory which is behind the Utah UFO Festival. We realize that this phenomenon has a real impact on society from a sociological standpoint. We can build the public’s interest though community engagement and get people talking and telling their stories. Come join us for the planning meeting.

Cattle Mutilations in Southern Utah

By 2 Comments

On Friday, October 10, 2015, my brother and I went live on Cedar City’s KSUB Radio for a two-hour segment on the up-coming Utah UFO Festival. We were only going to stay an hour but received some amazing responses from callers who had many stories and experiences to share. It looks like Iron County has had its fair share of strange mysteries involving the UFO sightings, close encounters, and strange cattle mutilations. Most disturbing of the stories on the air came from local ranchers who have lost livestock in the recent past. The amount of cattle mutilation stories we heard about really surprised me for a local radio show. It’s not the most pleasant subject matter that I care to deal with but it’s a legitimate problem that cattleman have had to deal with, especially with the financial loss. It’s a problem often blamed on predators and goes unreported or investigated. I don’t care to discuss (in detail) what gets removed “surgically” from cows who have been died as a result of this grisly act but I will let investigative journalist, Linda M. Howe, present her research in the following documentary for any of you who care to dive deeper into the info.

UFO Crash Site Near Garrison, Utah

I’ve been researching a UFO crash site that allegedly happened near the small town of Garrison Utah. While digging around on the net for evidence, it’s hard to find a lot of info on the incident. As we seek the truth to our reality and existence, it’s good to keep an open mind and investigate any sort questionable historical event whether it be a rumor or a deeply buried secret. I think a lot of it has to rely on a hunch or intuition, if you have it. Trust your gut on these things because it is always good to keep your eyes peeled for clues. As citizen journalists, we need to tell stories and decimate interesting leads that may lead to further discovery.

There’s more information on the Utah Crash Site of 1953 (in Southwestern Utah) from a few sources:
