Next step

Locate original logs and calibration records. Chunk M search (2026-11-12): No hosted file mentions Skinwalker or NIDS. NIDS never published raw ranch logs; the contemporaneous record is press (Deseret News 27 Apr 1997, director John Alexander: 'minor observations, but nothing you would stand behind'; 10 Aug 1998; 28 Jul 1999 on a NIDS cattle-mutilation report). NIDS's own web reports survive only in Internet Archive snapshots of nidsci.org, not checked page by page. Flag stays.
