The National Institute for Discovery Science became known for its investigations into cattle expirations and black triangle sightings, along with its study of the enigmatic Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.
The latter property, purported to be a hotbed of paranormal activity, was purchased by Bigelow himself, highlighting his personal commitment to investigating these phenomena.
Bigelow's influence extended beyond the National Institute for Discovery Science.
In two thousand and seven, his funding and connections with U.S. Senator Harry Reid led to the creation of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can our failures teach us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. That means you'll learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. You shouldn't stress about the small details. We all make mistakes.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
Recognize your mistake and move on. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Don't be discouraged by your failures. Instead, learn from your mistakes and look for ways you can improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was designed. There are no accidental inventions.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. A deliberate decision to create something new. Something that solves the problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, focus on learning from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What do they want?
You need to ask these questions. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
They must learn what they are looking for. It is not what they think they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. This is where invention begins.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. The ability to question authority. To challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. We stagnate when we don’t grow. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. Nothing is permanent. All things are subject to constant change.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. Learning can be viewed in three ways. We must first realize that knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. This empowers us with the knowledge we need to make better decisions and live better lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We would always do what is best for us, and not worry about whether it was wrong or right.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. Although knowledge is cumulative, it doesn’t stay static very long. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists learn new facts and theories every day. Each day new discoveries are made.
Our culture depends heavily on technology, which makes it possible to have instant access to knowledge. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites have information on every topic.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep knowledge of a particular area. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This specialization is good news for consumers because they don't need to search through tons of useless information. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? The answer is simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
Today, entire industries are dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
Who first said that people who don't learn history from the past are stupid?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. You've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. Use them.
Then try again.

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin develop?
Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin after noticing mold growing on bacteria cultures that he had not kept. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
Penicillin was found to kill the mold. He then realized that this new drug could also be used against bacteria. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions lives and changed forever the course of medicine.
Alexander Fleming was unaware at first of the importance of his finding. Neither did anyone else. Nobody knew penicillin would be such a powerful anti-biotic.
Before World War II, scientists didn't know penicillin was effective against bacterial infection. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It also saved many lives for doctors after the war.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He simply wanted to be sure that mold didn't thrive on the bacteria he had studied. But he couldn't imagine how this simple experiment would lead to an incredible medical breakthrough.
Truth is that most discoveries every day don’t appear to add up to anything significant. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
Look back on history and you'll see that even seemingly minor experiments can make all the difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Like penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention doesn't happen simply because someone has a great idea. It happens because someone is faced with a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
