Episode 6 – The Investigator and the Skeptic

Uintah Basin High Strangeness is best enjoyed with headphones.

📄 Episode Description

The series closes with two very different lenses on the Uintah Basin. Investigator Dustin Eskelsen, Utah State Director of MUFON, shares why the Basin keeps drawing his attention and how generations of families quietly live with the unexplainable. Then skeptic Mick West offers a contrasting view, questioning whether stories and feedback loops—not evidence—fuel the mystery. Finally, we hear closing reflections from George Knapp, Zack Van Eyck, Kaleb Bench, Don Mitchell, Jessica Blunt, Dustin Eskelsen, and Dr. Michael Masters, who suggests some of these visitors might not be extraterrestrial at all—but extra-tempestrial, future versions of ourselves. The result is a finale that doesn’t solve the Basin’s mystery, but leaves us with the unsettling truth: something is here.
