Researching the Paranormal with Colm Kelleher (4K Reboot)

Summary

Biochemist Colm Kelleher recounts his investigations of strange phenomena at Utah's Skinwalker Ranch, which began in 1996. He explains how military interest in the ranch led to a secret, government-funded two-year program that produced more than 100 reports on UFOs and related topics. That work helped set the stage for the 2021 public acknowledgment of military interest in UFO activity.
