Investigation into paranormal activity in Utah confirmed by Department of Defense

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A document recently published by the Department of Defense All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office took a look into unidentified anomalous phenomena — and included a section on Utah.

The nearly 70-page report said there was an investigation into an alleged hotspot of UAP and paranormal activity at a property in Utah, which at the time was owned by the head of a private sector organization.

According to the report, investigators examined reports of “shadowy figures” and “creatures,” and explored “remote viewing” and “human consciousness anomalies.”

Additionally, the report states investigators planned to hire psychics to study “inter-dimensional phenomena” believed to appear at that location frequently.

The report did state that “all investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification.”

However, the report states, many of the cases remain unresolved.

“The lack of actionable, researchable data — specifically the lack of speed, altitude, and
size of reported UAP — combined with resource constraints, high volumes of cases, and perceived differing levels of support from USG officials were factors in all investigative efforts,” the report states. “Even with the significant advancements in ground- and air-based sensors, the apparent inability to collect sufficient and high-quality data for scientific analysis continues to plague investigations.”

The investigations were reportedly managed and implemented by a range of experts, scientists, academics, military, and intelligence officials under differing leaders — “all of whom held their own perspectives that led them to particular conclusions on the origins of UAP,” the report states. The investigators reportedly all had in common the belief that UAP represented an unknown and, therefore, theoretically posed a “potential threat of an indeterminate nature.”
