Demolishing Preconceptions - Hideki Ichihara, Construction Engineer

It is now 40 years since Japan's postwar construction rush, but a lack of earthquake resistance, and buildings falling into disrepair have recently triggered a new rush - this time in high-rise demolition. It was against this backdrop that Hideki Ichihara developed a new method of deconstruction that solves the issues of noise and dust associated with more conventional demolition techniques.
In Ichihara's own words: "Creating technology is not something to be done alone, but as a team". His great strength is his ability to mobilize the people around him. In order to create unprecedented technologies, Ichihara collaborates across departmental boundaries, taking onboard ideas from any and all comers. "Let's do something exciting together". This was his mantra as he sought suggestions at budget and management meetings, from participants not typically associated with technology development. Caught up in Ichihara's enthusiasm, those around him quickly find themselves sucked into his whirlpool of innovation. The resulting technology, which has won admiration from all around the world for Ichihara and his team, is overflowing with the verve of engineers striving to create something new.

Skinwalker Ranch is now widely considered to be ground zero for UAP activity and high strangeness. Since 2020, Dr. Travis Taylor along with Erik Bard and their investigative team have been working around the clock to collect, analyze and decode as much data as possible associated with the phenomenon occurring at the site. Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch. So, for the first time ever they have decided to expand their search for answers. In an effort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the country. No longer content to sit, waiting to be targeted…it's time to go Beyond Skinwalker.
