What is The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch season 7 about?

Here’s the official synopsis from History Channel:

“Are we alone in the universe? That’s what season 7 of The HISTORY Channel’s hit series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch is trying to get to the bottom of. Premiering on Tuesday, May 19 at 9/8c, the new season will follow ranch owner Brandon Fugal and his fearless team of credited scientists and researchers as they employ cutting-edge science and technology to identify what or who is behind all of the high-strangeness that has long been reported on the 512-acre Utah property.

“News reports from around the globe have documented more evidence than ever that mankind may not be alone, and this season the team will conduct daring experiments using high-powered rockets, drone swarms, laser technology, explosive munitions, and much more to test that theory close to home, and unlock unexplainable phenomena at the ranch’s center.

“After six seasons of progress, the team wants answers and they’ll do whatever it takes to reveal them.”
