Dr. Jim Segala is a physicist and mechanical engineer who studied under Dr. Hal Puthoff. He was assigned to Skinwalker Ranch to investigate medical injuries linked to anomalous phenomena on the property and appeared on Season 1 of the History Channel show. After leaving the show (he says the production prioritized drama over science), he built something called MUPAS — Modular Unidentified Phenomena Alert System. It's a sensor network deployed inside the homes of experiencers that measures electromagnetic energy, gamma radiation, gyroscopic disturbances, magnetometer readings, infrasound, and biometric data 24/7. Here's where it gets interesting: Participants journal their experiences without seeing their sensor data. An AI model then correlates the journal entries with environmental readings. Phase 1 ran for 3 years with 36 participants and hit 4.5 sigma — just short of the 5.0 gold standard for peer-reviewed publication. Phase 2 is now at 400+ participants across the US, Australia, Norway, and Chile, scaling to 10,000. Some of the key findings he discusses: - The phenomenon appears to interact with people, not locations. When Skinwalker Ranch is empty, nothing happens. When people arrive, the anomalies start. The data supports this across all MUPAS sites. - Participants upload photos of physical effects — rashes, lesions, bloody noses — that appear during periods of anomalous sensor readings. - Consciousness abductions outnumber physical abductions 10 to 1 in his data set, and the AI sentiment analysis shows consciousness experiences are significantly more intense. - He found the same axonal microbleeds in experiencers that Havana Syndrome patients have — brain injuries consistent with electromagnetic pulse exposure, but with no physical trauma to explain them. - The hitchhiker effect is statistically significant in his data. People who visit hotspot locations report anomalous activity at home afterward. Some participants have learned to attenuate it through the study. - He's working with two universities to create archival repositories for the data and plans to publish methodology papers soon, with results papers following once they hit 1,000 participants. If you're an experiencer and want to participate, his study is at experiencer-studies.com. The devices are funded — costs nothing if you stay active.
