UAP Tranche 7 - A Dogman Sighting

The Pentagon's seventh UAP release (Oct 23, 2026) includes a 60-page BAASS file, DOW-UAP-D174, the "Utah Ranch Investigation Report, April 2010." The ranch name is redacted throughout, but the maps and place names point to Skinwalker Ranch near Fort Duchesne. BAASS investigators made two trips, March 22 to 26 and April 19 to 23, 2010, and by May 7 had interviewed more than 25 locals, including police, ranchers, Ute tribal members, a shaman and the local Fish and Wildlife director. Witnesses appear only under codes like "AAP Person 7," and eleven of them described either a dog-like creature or strange orbs.

The dog-man. The most detailed account came from a man who described a hunched figure he saw in January 2010. He estimated it at about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, with a head like a German shepherd's but a more human nose, and black-and-gray fur. It "ran like it was leaping," he said. Two nights before his March 24 interview, he added, a large shadow ran past his house and slammed into his barbed-wire fence while his dogs gave chase.

The rest of the bestiary. The file also logs a 3-foot hairy arm reaching through a bedroom window in winter 2003, and the "Basket Lady" of Ute tradition leaping between rooftops around 2009, a sighting that led one witness's mother to call 911. There is an 8-foot hairless creature perched on a horse shelter in September 2009, along with reports of an 8-foot "maggot" and a pterodactyl-like bird. One woman described a rippling 30 to 40 foot "portal" near a lake, though she admitted she only started calling it a portal after reading the Skinwalker book.

The physical evidence. BAASS pulled four hair samples off the fences. An April 27 lab report matched one to a raccoon and three to domestic dogs, and two of those matched a dog living on the property. BAASS conceded the match wasn't absolute proof and asked for the raw data. It also set up seven game cameras and used tobacco and spiderwort plants as living sensors for DNA damage, but the report was written before any results showed up. The report even mentions plans to try "games, puzzles, and other strategies" to communicate with whatever was behind the activity.

What's new and what's missing. Most of these stories line up with Kelleher and Knapp's Hunt for the Skinwalker (2005) and Lacatski's Skinwalkers at the Pentagon (2021). What's new is that this is the government's own copy of an internal program report. The individual case files behind it still haven't been released, and the report's authors admit that the creature paths drawn on their sighting map are guesses.
