Summary
Ben Woodruff joins me to talk about his background as a biologist, his own childhood UFO sighting, and how he ended up working on Skinwalker Ranch before the TV series began.
In Part 1, we get into what Ben says he experienced during his earliest time on the ranch, including strange voices, unsettling activity inside the ranch house, and the biological anomalies that first made him realise this place was different. We also discuss the balance between real science and television, what frustrates him about NDA restrictions, and a remarkable story involving one of his trained falcons that he says disappeared in front of them during an experiment on the ranch.
This is a fascinating opening half of a conversation that builds from personal experience into some of the biggest claims Ben says he has witnessed firsthand.

| 0:06.2 | and sheets off of my bed. |
| 0:08.1 | So I pull it back up, and about a minute goes by, and it starts to happen again. |
| 0:12.9 | It starts pulling down and pulling all the way off, and I'm like, I can't deal with this. |
| 0:17.3 | They don't decompose. |
| 0:18.7 | They don't rot. |
| 0:19.7 | They never become stiff. Rigamortis doesn't set in |
| 0:22.0 | and right at the front gate, my first visit. There's a rab in there and I got a few photos of it |
| 0:26.9 | and didn't decompose at all ever. It's just weird. In the daytime, on camera, a UFO appears over a |
| 0:36.4 | cow and the cow buckles and dies, and then the UFO goes away. |
| 0:41.1 | Afterwards, once the cow decomposed, it went into this super contorted spiral. |

| 1:18.1 | experimental archaeologist with over 27 years of experience in wildlife biology and paleontology. |
| 1:24.8 | He has run all the biological experiments on Skinwalker Ranch since |
| 1:29.3 | Brandon Fugel purchased it back in what, 2017, 16, 18. |
