Ryan Burns

The Utah UFO Phenomenon

Space Wolf Research • 

Investigating the High Strangeness of the Uinta Basin.

Some Mysteries Aren't Meant To Be Believed. They're Meant To Be Investigated.

For more than two decades, Ryan Burns has been investigating one of North America's most mysterious regions, documenting unexplained phenomena throughout Utah's Uinta Basin. As founder of Space Wolf Research, Ryan has spent thousands of hours documenting eyewitness accounts, interviewing experiencers, conducting field investigations, and searching for patterns behind some of the most unusual reports in North America.

His research property is located in the same region as the world-famous Skinwalker Ranch, but Ryan's work follows its own independent path. Through careful observation, documentation, and an open-minded approach, he continues investigating the strange events reported throughout the basin while allowing the evidence—not speculation—to guide the conversation.

Ryan's presentations combine firsthand experiences, years of research, historical context, scientific observations, and compelling eyewitness accounts to explore questions that continue to challenge researchers from around the world.

What is really happening in the Uinta Basin?

Why have so many credible witnesses reported similar unexplained experiences?

Could there be natural explanations... or is something else occurring?

Rather than telling people what to believe, Ryan presents the evidence, shares what he has personally observed, and encourages everyone to think critically and draw their own conclusions.

Whether you're fascinated by UFOs, unexplained phenomena, consciousness, strange lights, Native American history, or simply enjoy exploring life's greatest mysteries, 

Ryan's presentations combine firsthand experiences, years of field research, historical context, scientific observations, and compelling eyewitness accounts to explore questions that continue to challenge researchers around the world. 

The greatest mystery isn't what we know.

It's how much we still don't understand.

Experience Ryan Burns live at the FREE 2026 Moon Lake Gathering.

Kelly Nielson

Spanish Treasure Signs & Symbols

Learning to Read the Secret Hidden  Spanish Treasure Codes & Trails

What if you've walked past secret Spanish treasure markers without ever realizing it?

For more than 30 years, Kelly Nielson and his brothers (Dan and Gordon) have researched and studied the symbols, monuments, and trail markers that many researchers believe are connected to Spanish exploration throughout the American West. Through decades of fieldwork, he has developed a practical approach to studying the landscape that combines careful observation, historical research, and the ability to recognize details that most people overlook.

Last Year's Training

Last year, Kelly presented a two-part training program.

Part One: Spanish Treasure Code for Beginners introduced the fundamentals of Spanish treasure signs, symbols, monuments, and trail markers.

Part Two: Advanced Spanish Treasure Code explored more complex monument systems, trail interpretation, directional markers, map coding, historical field evidence, and numerous real-world examples gathered during decades of research and exploration.

This Year's Training

This year, Kelly will present another two-part workshop designed to build on last year's material.

Part One will review the key concepts from both previous presentations. This session is ideal for those who attended last year and want a refresher, while also providing newcomers with a solid foundation in the patterns and methods used by the Spaniards.

Part Two will take participants on a step-by-step photographic journey through several monumented trail systems in Utah. Attendees will learn how to recognize patterns, interpret trail markers, and understand the methodologies used along these historic routes.

For the first time, Kelly will share photos of many of the monuments and markers that lead to the Josephine de Martinique Mine. These monuments do not lead to the commonly discussed "Lost Josephine Mine" on Hoyt Peak, Utah, but instead point to a location far from that area.

Why Attend Both Workshops?

Part One provides the foundation by reviewing both the beginner and advanced Spanish treasure code concepts presented last year.

Part Two builds on that knowledge by following several actual trail systems, allowing attendees to see how the monuments and markers work together in the field. Through hundreds of photographs and detailed explanations, participants will learn what to look for, what to expect, and how to recognize the patterns found along monumented trails.

Whether you're completely new to Spanish treasure research or have spent years exploring the backcountry, these workshops are designed to help you become a better observer and a more informed researcher.

⚠️ Fair Warning...

After spending a few hours with Kelly, you may never walk past another unusual rock, monument, or trail marker the same way again. In fact, you may never look at the mountains the same way again.

Dale Bascom

The Lost Rhoades Mine

Lost Rhoades Mines & Utah Treasure History


What if one of the last great Utah treasure hunters was willing to share what he learned from the legends before they were gone?

For more than 40 years, Dale Bascom has devoted his life to researching Utah's greatest treasure mysteries. Along the way, he had the rare opportunity to personally learn from legendary treasure hunters including Gale Rhoades, Ed Twitchell, George Thompson, and other respected old-timers whose knowledge is quickly disappearing.

Today, Dale has become one of those old-timers himself, passing that knowledge on to the next generation of treasure hunters.

See History Come Alive

Dale will bring artifacts, historical maps, photographs, and rare pieces of Utah treasure history to help tell the stories behind the Lost Rhoades Mine, the Uinta Mountains, Spanish exploration, forgotten landmarks, and decades of field research.

Learn What Books Can't Teach

Some lessons only come from spending a lifetime listening to experienced treasure hunters, exploring the mountains, comparing old stories, and asking questions that most people never think to ask.

Dale's presentation is filled with history, mystery, firsthand stories, practical field experience, and decades of research that simply can't be found in most books.

You Never Know What Secret Might Be Shared

Every presentation is different. One forgotten story... one overlooked clue... or one lesson passed down from an old treasure hunter could completely change the way you look at Utah's treasure history.

If you love the Lost Rhoades Mine, Utah history, hidden treasures, or hearing stories from someone who's lived the adventure, you won't want to miss Dale Bascom's presentation.

Every firearm has a history.

Every artifact has a story.

Together they bring the Old West to life in a way that books, museums, and television simply can't.


Drawing on decades of research, travel, and firsthand exploration of historic sites throughout the West, Joe separates fact from legend while sharing remarkable stories about frontier towns, famous outlaws, forgotten trails, lost history, and the men and women who shaped America's western heritage.

Whether you're passionate about Western history, firearms, treasure hunting, outlaw legends, or simply enjoy hearing true stories told by someone who has spent a lifetime preserving them, this is a presentation you won't soon forget.

Daryl Wilson

Bigfoot Research

The Stories People Were Afraid To Tell

Some people spend their lives searching for evidence.

Others become the person people trust enough to share it with.

For years, Daryl Wilson has quietly collected eyewitness accounts from ordinary people who experienced extraordinary events they simply couldn't explain.

Over the years eople have trusted Daryl with stories of...

Bigfoot encounters.

UFO sightings.

Lost time.

Strange lights.

Native American traditions.

And experiences they had never dared tell anyone else.

Rather than dismissing these reports, Daryl simply listens.

He listens with respect.

Without ridicule.

Without judgment.

That approach has earned the trust of hundreds of eyewitnesses who simply wanted someone to hear their story.

Daryl's own journey began unexpectedly during a fishing trip in the remote wilderness of Alaska, where he experienced an encounter that changed his life forever.

Before that day...

He wasn't a believer.

After that day...

He dedicated himself to understanding the unexplained while encouraging others to document what they had witnessed.

Over the years, Daryl has collected hundreds of firsthand eyewitness accounts, many of them from throughout Utah's Uinta Basin and the surrounding mountains.

Many of the stories he shares come from the very region surrounding the Moon Lake Gathering, where unexplained encounters have been reported for generations.

His presentations combine personal experience, eyewitness testimony, Native American traditions, field investigations, and years of careful listening to explore questions that still remain unanswered.

Why do so many independent witnesses describe similar encounters?

Why are so many people afraid to tell their stories?

Could these reports reveal something we've overlooked?

Daryl doesn't ask people to blindly believe.

He simply asks them...

To listen.

To think.

To ask questions.

And to consider the possibility that there is still much about our world we do not yet understand.

Whether you're interested in Bigfoot, unexplained phenomena, UFOs, Native American traditions, or simply hearing remarkable true stories from ordinary people, Daryl's presentation is one you won't soon forget.

Sometimes the greatest mystery...

...isn't the creature.

It's the people whose stories have never been heard.

Dowsing Workshop

Hands-On Instruction with Otto & Dave

Dowsing Workshop

Discover why treasure hunters, miners, well drillers, and explorers have practiced dowsing for centuries—and decide for yourself.


Can You Learn One Of History's Most Mysterious Skills?

For centuries, people around the world have used dowsing rods in an attempt to locate underground water, buried treasure, minerals, old mine workings, and other hidden objects. Historical accounts describe miners, well diggers, and treasure hunters using various forms of dowsing for hundreds of years, especially throughout Europe. 

Today, dowsing remains one of the most fascinating—and most debated—subjects in the treasure hunting world.

Some people are convinced it works.

Others remain skeptical.

Many simply want to understand why so many people continue to use it.

At the 2026 Moon Lake Gathering, experienced dowsers Otto and Dave will present a hands-on workshop where you'll have the opportunity to learn the techniques for yourself.

This Isn't Just A Lecture... It's A Hands-On Experience

You'll learn:

• How traditional dowsing rods are used

• Basic techniques for holding and using the rods

• Common mistakes beginners make

• Tips that experienced dowsers have learned over years of practice

• The history of dowsing and its use in searching for water, mines, and buried treasure

Then you'll have the opportunity to try it yourself.                                                No experience is necessary.

Whether you've never picked up a set of dowsing rods or you've experimented with them for years, this workshop is designed to be fun, interactive, and welcoming to everyone.              Discover It For Yourself

Over the past several years, Otto and Dave have introduced hundreds of people to the practice of dowsing.

Some participants experience rod movement almost immediately. Others find that it takes practice and patience.

And some remain skeptical after trying it.

That's perfectly okay.

Rather than telling you what to believe, Otto and Dave simply invite you to learn the techniques, ask questions, and decide for yourself.

Whether you're interested in treasure hunting, history, prospecting, locating water, or simply experiencing something you've always wondered about, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore one of history's most intriguing traditions.

Curiosity Has Led To Some Of History's Greatest Discoveries.

Maybe this will simply be a fun new experience.

Maybe you'll discover a skill you never knew you had.

There's only one way to find out.

Join Otto and Dave for this FREE hands-on Dowsing Workshop at the 2026 Moon Lake Gathering.

Alien Dave Rosenfeld

Utah's Area 52

Alien Dave Rosenfeld

Utah's Area 52... The Search Continues

Some people spend their lives reading about unexplained mysteries.

Others drive into the desert looking for answers.

For nearly three decades, Dave Rosenfeld—better known as "Alien Dave"— has become one of Utah's best-known independent UFO researchers and investigators.

As Founder and Director of the Utah UFO Hunters, Dave has spent thousands of hours interviewing witnesses, documenting unusual sightings, organizing field investigations, and building one of Utah's longest-running UFO research communities. Through his website, AlienDave.com, he has archived eyewitness reports, photographs, videos, and investigations from across the state while encouraging people to carefully document what they observe. 

Following the Mystery Into Utah's West Desert

While much of the world focuses on Nevada's legendary Area 51, Dave has devoted years investigating Utah's own military testing region near Dugway Proving Ground—an area that many UFO enthusiasts have nicknamed "Area 52."

The region has become known for reports of unusual lights, unexplained aerial phenomena, and military secrecy. Whether those reports point to advanced military technology, natural explanations, or something still unknown remains a subject of ongoing debate.

Dave believes the only way to move closer to the truth is to investigate the reports firsthand.

Research Built On Field Investigations

Throughout the years, Dave has:

  • Investigated hundreds of eyewitness reports.
  • Organized countless skywatches and field expeditions.
  • Photographed and filmed unusual aerial phenomena.
  • Interviewed experiencers from across Utah.
  • Appeared in documentaries and television programs discussing Utah's UFO mysteries, including investigations connected with Utah's "Area 52." 

His work has also been featured in newspapers, documentaries, podcasts, and television programs, helping bring attention to Utah's growing reputation as one of America's most active regions for unexplained aerial phenomena. 

Questions That Keep People Looking Up

Could some sightings have conventional explanations?

Why are so many reports concentrated in Utah's remote deserts and mountain ranges?

What has Dave discovered after decades of interviewing witnesses and investigating reports?

And why do so many people continue searching the skies?

Rather than telling people what to believe, Dave encourages everyone to examine the evidence, ask questions, and think critically.

Experience Alien Dave Live

Whether you're fascinated by UFOs, Area 52, military mysteries, eyewitness investigations, or simply enjoy exploring the unknown, Dave's presentation offers a unique look into one of Utah's most enduring mysteries.

Sometimes the biggest discovery...

...isn't finding the answer.

It's asking the question no one else is asking.

Dean Lundgren

The Forest Isn't Empty

The Mogollon Rim Bigfoot Mystery

What If The Forest Has Been Trying To Tell Us Something All Along?

Some people enter the forest looking for wildlife.

Others go looking for peace and solitude.

But every so often...

Someone walks out knowing the wilderness holds mysteries they never expected to find.

For Dean Lundgren of Show Low, Arizona, that journey has unfolded across the rugged mountains and deep forests of the Mogollon Rim—a place many researchers consider one of the most active Bigfoot regions in North America.

For generations, the White Mountain Apache people have spoken of the Forest People, describing large, elusive beings said to inhabit these mountains. Among those traditions is the story of a respected Sasquatch leader known simply as Grandfather.

Dean didn't begin his journey trying to prove those stories.

He simply spent enough time in the wilderness that the wilderness began revealing experiences he could no longer ignore.

When The Forest Begins Talking Back

Over the years, Dean has heard blood-curdling screams echo through the darkness.

He's heard whistles, growls, wood knocks, conversations, and uncanny mimicry coming from unseen places deep within the trees.

He has photographed massive tree bends, unusual structures, mysterious trail systems, and other signs that continue to raise questions.

He has even experienced the crushing effects of infrasound—a powerful sensation that is often felt before it is understood.

His presentation combines years of firsthand experiences, photographs, field observations, and stories gathered while exploring one of America's most mysterious wilderness regions.

Rather than telling people what to believe, Dean simply shares what he experienced and invites you to examine the evidence for yourself.

The Forest Isn't Empty...

Maybe We've Just Forgotten How To Listen.

Come Meet Dean Lundgren In Person

This is your opportunity to meet Dean, ask questions, hear his remarkable experiences, and see the photographs that have fueled years of discussion among Bigfoot researchers.

Whether you're a longtime Bigfoot investigator, an avid outdoorsman, or simply fascinated by the unexplained, Dean's presentation will challenge the way you think about the wilderness.

The Moon Lake Gathering isn't just a place to hear great presentations.

It's where the people behind the stories become the people you can meet, talk with, and learn from.

Meet Dean Lundgren. Hear The Stories. See The Evidence. Ask Questions.

Jack Tucker

Finding More Gold

Gold Prospecting • Gold Panning • Metal Detecting • High Banking • Dredging

Why Do Some Prospectors Consistently Find Gold, While Others Walk Right Past It?

Every year, thousands of people head into the mountains hoping to find gold.

Some spend an entire weekend digging and never recover a single speck.

Others seem to have an uncanny ability to locate gold almost everywhere they go.

Is it luck?

Or do they simply know something the rest of us don’t?

The answer may surprise you.

Gold isn’t randomly scattered across the landscape.

It follows the laws of geology, water, gravity, and time.

Learn to recognize those patterns, and the mountains begin telling a story that most people never notice.

Few people understand that story better than Jack Tucker.

Known to thousands through his Gold Fever Adventures YouTube channel and Facebook community, Jack has spent decades searching for gold throughout the American West. His experience covers nearly every aspect of modern gold prospecting, including gold panning, sluicing, high banking, dredging, metal detecting for gold, reading rivers, understanding geology, and recognizing the subtle clues that can lead to productive ground.

Jack has also spent years sharing what he has learned with other prospectors, helping beginners avoid common mistakes and giving experienced gold seekers new ideas they can take back into the field.

What Separates Someone Who Occasionally Finds Gold, From Someone Who Consistently Fills A Gold Pan?

Experience.

Thousands of hours in the field.

Thousands of decisions.

Thousands of mistakes, discoveries, and hard-earned lessons that can’t be learned from a book alone.

Jack’s presentation isn’t about selling equipment.

It isn’t about promising instant success or pretending that finding gold is easy.

It’s about sharing the practical knowledge, proven techniques, and real-world experience that usually take decades to acquire.

Jack will explain how experienced prospectors evaluate a new area before they ever put a shovel into the ground.

You’ll learn why gold naturally concentrates where it does, how to recognize promising locations, and where a metal detector may have the greatest chance of locating nuggets and overlooked gold.

You’ll also discover how experienced prospectors study rivers, bends, benches, exposed bedrock, ancient stream channels, and the surrounding geology to determine where gold may have settled over thousands of years.

From gold panning and dredging to high banking, metal detecting, and choosing productive ground, Jack will share the secrets, tips, tricks, and lessons he has gathered during a lifetime of prospecting.

Whether you have never held a gold pan before or you have spent years chasing placer gold, you’ll leave with a better understanding of how experienced prospectors think—and practical knowledge you can use on your very next adventure.

The Mountains Have Been Hiding Gold For Thousands Of Years,

Jack Will Teach You How To Read Their Clues.

Come Meet Jack Tucker In Person

Have questions about gold prospecting?

Wondering where to begin?

Trying to decide which prospecting method or equipment is right for you?

This is your opportunity to meet Jack in person, ask questions, learn from his lifetime of experience, and hear stories from decades spent searching for gold.

The Moon Lake Gathering isn’t just a place to sit in an audience and listen to presentations.

It’s a place where the people you have watched, followed, read about, and learned from become the people you can meet, talk with, and share stories with face-to-face.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced prospector, come meet Jack, ask your questions, and discover what the mountains may have been trying to tell you all along.

Meet Jack Tucker. Ask Questions. Learn From A Lifetime Of Experience.

True Ott

The Giants Beneath the Desert


What If History Buried More Than Ancient Ruins?

For generations, stories of giants have been whispered throughout the American Southwest.

Ancient traditions speak of enormous beings who once walked the land. Old newspaper accounts describe unusual discoveries. Tribal histories tell of mysterious underground places, forgotten civilizations, and people unlike those living today.

Most people dismiss these stories without ever hearing them.

True Ott didn't.

Over decades of researching hidden history throughout the Uinta Basin and the American Southwest, True has collected accounts that most people have never heard—including stories from people he personally knows who claimed to have witnessed extraordinary discoveries.

Among those accounts are descriptions of what they believed were the remains of giant human skeletons, unusually large skulls, and ancient burial sites that they say disappeared almost as quickly as they were discovered.

True will also share stories connected to Hopi traditions describing underground chambers, mysterious tunnel systems, and legends of giants said to have lived beneath the desert long ago.

These stories raise fascinating questions.

Were they misunderstood discoveries?

Ancient legends passed down through generations?

Or could there be pieces of history that have yet to be fully understood?

At this special breakout presentation, True Ott will share the stories, photographs, research, family accounts, and historical connections that have shaped his lifelong interest in one of the Southwest's most controversial mysteries.

Whether you're convinced, skeptical, or simply curious, this presentation promises to challenge your thinking and leave you asking questions long after it's over.

Meet True Ott in person, ask your own questions, hear the complete stories, and decide for yourself.

Levi Harris

The 3 lakes Aztec treasure and its curse

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THREE LAKES?

Just outside Kanab, Utah, along Highway 89, sits a place that has fascinated treasure hunters for decades.

Three Lakes.

For years, stories have circulated that an enormous treasure may be hidden beneath the property, possibly connected to the legendary lost treasure of the Aztecs.

But the treasure itself may only be the beginning of the story.

Divers reportedly discovered underwater caves.

Different searches and technologies were brought in trying to determine what was beneath the sandstone.

A well was drilled into what investigators believed was a cavern, and according to those involved, gold-colored material was found on the drill bit.

A small camera was reportedly lowered through the hole. Those present claimed they could see a large pile of something inside the cavern... and what appeared to be the statue of a man.

Then things became even stranger.

People involved with the property told stories of equipment failures, serious accidents, unexplained illnesses, unusual encounters, divers experiencing frightening events underwater, and repeated attempts to reach the suspected cavern that somehow ended in failure.

Some became convinced the treasure was protected... or even cursed.

Others believed there had to be more practical explanations.

And through it all remained the biggest question:

What is really beneath Three Lakes?

Author Levi Harris spent years researching this story and interviewing people who were actually involved. He documented the history, investigations, personalities, strange events, and treasure claims surrounding Three Lakes in his book.

Now Levi is coming to the FREE 2026 Moon Lake Gathering to tell the story himself.

This is your opportunity to hear what he uncovered while researching one of southern Utah's most fascinating treasure mysteries.
