My whole life, I've
been fascinated by the universe

and what's out there
beyond Earth.

It led me to obtain
advanced degrees

in astrophysics,
aerospace engineering,

and optical science.

Then I got to work
over the past three decades

with NASA, the U.S. Army,
and the Department of Defense.

Travis.

- Hey, Brandon. How you doing?
- Brandon Fugal.

Four years ago,

I got the chance of a lifetime

to join an amazing team

in their investigation of
the most bizarre place

I'd ever heard of:

Skinwalker Ranch.

At first, I was skeptical
of all the legends,

but from day one, we've
experienced things together

that I thought were only
possible in science fiction.

- What are you seeing?
- A signal?

Massive energy
spikes that come out of nowhere...

1.60000.

Boy that thing
sounds like it's hitting something.

Evidence of a 400-foot-long,

dome-shaped object
buried inside a rocky mesa.

Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.

Inexplicable animal deaths...

There's no sign of
struggle, it's just dead.

And a ton of UAPs.

Look, look, look, what is that?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- UAP right there!
- Yup.

Recently, some
documents were released

to the public about a
program run by the Pentagon

known as UAPTF.

The Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena Task Force.

It was created
about four years ago

for the study of UAPs

and phenomena like what we've
experienced on Skinwalker Ranch.

These documents also revealed
that I was the chief scientist

for the UAPTF, and
I helped to author

the official report that was
presented to Congress in 2021.

However, I wasn't
permitted to disclose

any of this to the
team on the ranch.

So, now, as I'm returning
to join them once again

for what I consider to be
the most critical investigation

of the UAP
phenomenon in the world,

I'm real eager to discuss
what I can with them,

and I'm curious what
their response will be.

There is
a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the
federal government

tried to find
answers and failed.

Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,

researchers and
experts has taken over.

They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

Hey, Dragon, this
is, uh, Cameron.

I have Brandon on board.

We're on the perimeter of
Skinwalker Ranch. We're inbound.

I'm Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch.

I'm really excited to pull
together the team today.

Every time that
we enter the ranch,

there are new discoveries and

sometimes new
dangers that arise.

We've seen more evidence of
the reality of the phenomenon,

and we are committed
to getting the answers.

Here we come in

for our landing at the
Skinwalker Ranch helipad.

The
revelation that Dr. Taylor

had been acting
as the chief scientist

for the Pentagon's
UAP Task Force

came as a shock to all of us.

I think we're still processing

the reality of what that means.

I found it to be intriguing.

I found it to be confirmation

that we are truly
on to something.

- Hey.
- Welcome back.

- Good to see you, friend.
- You, too.

Hey, Kaleb. Oh,
it's good to be back.

We're ready to kick off
another phase of this investigation.

It's always good to see
my good friend Brandon,

and we're excited
to get him up to date

on what we've been doing.

- Is the team assembled?
- Yep.

Great.

Today, we kick off

the new research
investigation this summer.

I left last year being
pretty disturbed

about some of the
things that I witnessed,

and so, I wonder, you
know, what lies ahead

and what crazy things are
we gonna experience this year?

Let's proceed. We've got
a-a big day ahead of us.

And an exciting time to kick off
this phase of the investigation.

- Great to have Dr. Taylor back.
- Thank you.

We had some
interesting surprises over the last weeks

with Dr. Taylor,

the former chief scientist for
the Pentagon's UAP Task Force.

Uh, it would be great to
hear you shed some light on

your role and how that has, uh,

impacted our
investigation and-and how

that may influence
things moving forward.

Sure. Uh,

well, so it started in a way

that you'd be
surprised, actually.

So, that first summer,
back in 2019, I guess it was,

there were some, uh,
signals that we had measured,

that I was concerned, uh,

was a national
security implication, and

it was this 1.6
gigahertz signal.

Really?

Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?

I'm not broadcasting.

Over the past three years,

we've repeatedly detected
an energy frequency measuring

1.6 gigahertz...

What-what the heck is that?

Which we've suspected could be

some kind of
communication signal.

Now, normal human technology
like cell phones and radios

don't typically operate
at that frequency.

So, with all the bizarre
phenomena we've seen out here,

I wondered who or what

could be broadcasting that
signal out here on the ranch.

I went to the Pentagon to brief,

to find out if this was
us doing it or if it was

somebody else doing it.

Foreign adversaries
that may be involved.

Yes, and-and I had...
So, I had to report it

to the right officials.

So, I went to a room
in the Pentagon,

and I, uh, I briefed, uh,

what I'd seen, and then this guy

comes into the
room, and, uh, he asks

everybody else but me to leave.

And he said, "I'm the director
of the UAP Task Force.

"This is very interesting,
and what I'd like to do is invite

"you to, uh, come on-on
board and be the chief scientist

for the Task Force."

And he presented me

to both Congress
and the White House

as the chief scientist
of the Task Force,

and, uh, and it wasn't until

he and I both retired
within the last six months,

and, uh, we were
approved to r-reveal

that we actually were a
part of that-that Task Force.

Interesting.
Were they able

to shed light on
whether we're dealing

with a foreign
adversary or the nature

of what we're recording
here at Skinwalker Ranch?

So, according
to the charter written

in the National Defense
Authorization Act,

they had to tell us if they
were doing something.

Turns out it's not
us, it's not anybody

that we know of, so what is it?

I know a lot of our team members
have been really concerned

that they weren't
actually privy to your role.

Yeah, well,

you know, I was bound by an
oath and legal, uh, requirements.

I could not say it.
If I would've said it,

I'd have gone to jail.

Right? I can tell you
now that, uh, I'm in

the private sector, and I see
this as a huge opportunity here.

That, uh, hopefully, we'll see
assets come available for us.

- Well, it has to be reciprocal.
- I agree.

- This has to be a give-and-take.
- Yeah.

Especially when
we're dealing with

- such sensitive material.
- I agree.

It was hard for
me to keep information

from everyone on
the ranch because

it's critical that we act
and feel like a team.

But I also completely
understand why the government

needed me to keep
some things confidential.

Thankfully, now that I've
left the UAP Task Force,

there will be no
more need for secrets.

I can say from, uh, my
personal, uh, experience here,

and from, uh, what we've,
uh, uncovered and investigated,

this is a hot spot that, uh,

everybody's looking at, and-and

they wish they had
the access that we have

on the daily basis to do
the tests and measurements.

So, if I'm correct here,

it was the work that
you started doing here

that led to your opportunity

- to be part of...
- That's right.

That's coming from the guy
that told us we were all nuts

when we first invited
you to come out here.

I knew you were gonna say that.

Just saying, I love it.

Dr. Taylor's involvement
with the UAP Task Force,

this is of course a revelation.

It doesn't really
change my outlook

on his contributions here,

but I also welcome any
insights that may have come out

of his involvement with
the UAP Task Force.

So, Erik, what would you
propose as far as experiments?

We've got a lot of
planned activities.

Um, some of them based
in the work that we did

the last time we
were all together.

One of the big
findings, of course, was

what was inside that mesa.

Right.

And what did we pull out? Metal.

Right. It's an aerospace-style,

manufactured material,

not something that
happens naturally.

Yeah.

Last year,

while drilling horizontally
into the mesa...

Wow, look at all the metal.

We extracted
pieces of metal from a massive,

dome-shaped object that
the drill couldn't penetrate.

You did the analysis of the, uh,

samples that we sent?

- Yes, we did.
- Ah.

And when we had them
analyzed at the University of Utah,

we found out that they
were composed of a mixture

of elements that NASA used

as a protective coating
on the space shuttles.

So, one of our
main goals this year

is to determine just
what could be buried

inside that mesa.

I think one of the ways
we get answers to the mesa

is to do a different
kind of survey,

and I'm thinking
ground-penetrating radar.

So, we have a GPR capability
that we're going to deploy

this year, which is gonna
allow us to kind of paint

that whole area and
see down into the ground

and see if maybe
there is a big, a big void

like we've had described to us.

Excellent.

Also, I want to continue
expanding the effort

out into the
homestead, of course,

but also, we have
this opportunity

right out there at the triangle.

Yeah.

Over the past three years,

we've been perplexed by a zone

about a mile above a place
on the ranch we call the triangle.

We've got liftoff.

Oh, my God, during
launch, the electromagnetic spectrum

is going crazy, guys. I've
never seen anything like it.

We've detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal there,

and we've seen rockets

and lasers deflected
by some invisible

force or object.

So, I'm showing radar
altimeter, it's showing

we're only 40 feet above
the ground right now.

We also took

Brandon's helicopter
up there to scan it

and had a shadowy UAP fly

back and forth about
40 feet below us.

- See that?
- My gosh.

And last year...

Here.

This thing's really
clipping along.

Oh, my gosh.

It disappeared.
Can you replay that?

We watched a
UAP ascend from the mesa

toward that mile-high zone

and then just
vanish into thin air.

Are we seeing portals open?

- Yeah.
- Brandon's not crazy

to mention portals.

People, including scientists,

have reported seeing
portals here for years.

I just don't know what
to make of all that yet.

There's a level of
anomalous phenomena

happening over the
triangle that, somehow,

we need a better handle on.

That begs the question, then.

- How do we follow up?
- So, I'm contemplating

a new experiment, you
know, taking a-a slam scanner,

a LIDAR-based device, up
into the air with the helicopter.

That's a good idea.
You know, it would be nice to have

a really good LIDAR
measurement at altitude,

at 5,000 feet, right over
the center of the triangle.

Could we do that
with a helicopter?

How heavy is this equipment?

Well, it's-it's handheld. It's
a handheld LIDAR device.

- Yeah.
- So, we'll open the doors,

and-and fly around
the perimetry of it,

holding the LIDAR
out the edge of the door

and-and mapping as
we go. It takes its own

GPS information,
which will be interesting

if it gets anomalous
behavior from that.

So, while members of the
team are out there conducting

these experiments, I think
it would be smart to have

Tom and Kandus and Jim

move out to the
community in order

to interview those who will
bring additional information

and experiences to light.

I'm actually
finding the community,

uh, willing to embrace us.

I think a lot of it is
because of the credibility

that we bring to the table.

Yeah, so we are excited.

We have a lot of leads in
the community this year.

- Yeah, so that stigma is breaking down...
- Mm-hmm.

Like we've-we've said,

and it is easier to get
people to-to speak.

Well, for you,

for Jim and you,

thank you for building
those relationships.

Yeah, thank you.
You bet. Thank you.

Thank you, everyone, for
your continued hard work.

We all have our marching orders.

Let's press onward.

- Thank you.
- Thanks, Brandon.

Fantastic. Let's get to work,
guys. We got a lot to do.

Hey, fellas.

Finally meeting the
great Pete Kelsey.

- Finally meeting you.
- Thank you.

After our first meeting,
technologist Pete Kelsey arrived

to help us with
our first experiment

of the year at the triangle.

Over the last couple of years,

he's brought in numerous
scanning devices

that have detected a lot of
phenomena all across the ranch.

So, what do we have here?

That is the Hovermap.

Um, basically, handheld LIDAR.

I'm gonna strap
myself to your helicopter

and see what we get.

Are you saying you're
going to literally hang outside

the helicopter and scan
the space with this device?

With your permission, of course.

Okay.

As Cameron Fugal
flies me and Pete Kelsey

up through the triangle,
Pete will be strapped in

and scanning the area
with a LIDAR device.

It works by emitting
infrared laser light

that we hope will
reveal anything

that can't be seen
with the naked eye,

and might help
explain all the UAPs

and other phenomena
we've detected up there.

So, that is the first part
of our exercise today.

- There's a second part.
- What's that?

Erik's gonna turn on a broadcast

of the 1.6 gigahertz
signal. Right?

Then, when we get to
5,000 feet, these guys

are gonna launch a rocket

from here. Now, it's gonna go up

probably to about 1,500
feet, no more than 2,000 feet.

I-I feel comfortable with that.

Now, uh, isn't... aren't rockets

and broadcasting at 1.6 how
you make things happen here?

Yeah.

Now, the first part

of our exercise today

is an area on the eastern
side of the property

where we've seen anomalous
data in our photogrammetry,

- suggestive of something.
- Yeah.

Pete, you caught
this with your first scan

with the photogrammetry.

Now, you get to go hover

above it in a helicopter and see

if you can catch
it with your LIDAR.

The east field is a location

about a half a mile
from the triangle

where some of the strangest
things have happened

during our investigation.

Spinning up.

Right at the end of last year,

Pete conducted a photogrammetry
scan in the east field

near a mysterious
circle of stones

that sits up on the mesa.

According to Navajo
historian Jon Dover,

ancient Indigenous
people created the feature

to represent a portal
on Skinwalker Ranch.

Whoa.

- Okay.
- In the sky.

- Right there.
- Yes.

- Oh, weird.
- Yes.

Well, what Pete's
scanner detected just blew us away.

- Look at this structure.
- That's nuts.

Well, just think
about what it would mean

if we saw the same
kind of anomaly

with two completely
different technologies.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, let's go ahead and,
uh, commence the experiment.

- What all goes? Everything?
- Everything.

It's generally true,
in science, that we place

the highest confidence in
results that repeat themselves.

So, as we survey

just over the east field here

and in the vicinity
of the triangle...

- Thank you.
- You bet.

We want to understand

whether we're dealing
with a persistent effect

in those two regions of the
ranch because we have no idea.

All right, so let's
figure out what hardpoint we want

- to snap to.
- Okay, let's go around.

While Pete scans
with his LIDAR device

out the open door
of the helicopter,

I'll be right beside him
watching the monitor

to see if the LIDAR picks
up any structure or objects.

Let me have that rocket
motor and that igniter.

Meanwhile,
Dragon, Kaleb and Thomas

will be on the ready
to launch rockets.

They'll also be broadcasting
the 1.6 gigahertz

communication signal that
we've recorded in the past...

- All right, well, we're all set up in here.
- Great.

Which Erik and
Brandon will be monitoring

on his systems
during the experiment.

Both of these tools have been
very effective in stimulating

bizarre activity on
the ranch in the past,

so, hopefully, by
the end of today,

we'll get some answers
about these locations.

Hey, guys,

uh, we're ready to
go in the chopper.

All right, copy that. You
guys be careful up there.

We don't want to lose Pete.

We've got him tied in
with four different ways.

Everything's checked.

This year, the first
experiment we're gonna try

involves having one our experts
hanging out of a helicopter.

I don't know what's
gonna happen,

but this is a pretty
dangerous experiment,

and I hope it
yields some results.

Here we go. Hang on, Pete.

First, go hit
the east field, okay?

All right.

Now, we're tracking.

Hopefully, we'll be able to
capture something interesting.

Yeah, every time
Pete's been out here,

something interesting
has happened.

Well, this will be good.

Activity is unpredictable
at Skinwalker Ranch.

But we've found that
there are certain methods

that you can utilize in
order to stimulate response.

This very aggressive
experiment is an important part

of this stage of the
investigation and we are

committed to
getting the answers.

Bryant, I just turned it on.

Will you radio Erik and
see if they're seeing it?

Erik,

Thomas has just
turned on the 1.6.

Just confirming if you
can see that signal or not.

Yeah, I've got good signal.

Terrific.

Well, we're
broadcasting the 1.6, so...

we'll see if that
causes any reaction.

All right, the east field.

We should be about
over it right in here.

Okay.

- All right, I'm gonna start scanning.
- Yup.

- All right.
- Okay.

All right, nice and
easy, Cameron.

All right, we're going.

I see the ground.

We're getting buffeted
from the wind a little bit.

But there's no freaking wind.

- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa!

We're getting our asses kicked.

Feel that, that's just crazy.

- Oh, wow! We're getting something.
- What?!

We are getting an
anomaly in the air right now!

- Right there.
- You're kidding!

No, I am not kidding.

We're getting
a significant anomaly

in the air right now.

It was clearly an
anomaly floating in the sky.

I've been following them.

I know, I don't
see anything either.

The helicopter is getting
buffeted out of the way

like there's a vortex
or something here.

This is crazy.

Right where we
obtained photogrammetry images

of a mysterious
column-shaped anomaly

above the east
field one year ago...

There are some very
interesting artifacts showing up.

Whoa.

Pete Kelsey's LIDAR
scanner, which emits infrared light,

detected an image of something
about 300 feet up in the air.

And what was even
crazier was that some kind

of invisible force
was literally pushing

Brandon's helicopter
around in midair.

It looks like it's
being pushed around

from the ground right now.

They're getting pushed around.

You can see the
helicopter, like, rocking.

And I'm picking
up nothing just visually.

Wow!

What the hell is going on?

- You see how he's moving?
- Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, you
can see. Look at that.

The helicopter
definitely looks like

it's rocking around down here.

The outside wind speeds

that registered on the
helicopter's instruments

were totally insignificant.

It was just this
strange, invisible force

that we couldn't see
pushing us around.

I have no scientific
explanation for it.

I just know it's where we saw

a column-shaped anomaly
above the stone circle last year

and now an object of some kind

on the LIDAR readout.

I think we're good.
We've got a really nice

3D map of the entire area.

- Cameron, I think we're good.
- Okay.

I say we fly
right by the triangle.

Yep.

I couldn't believe
what had happened to us

over the east field
and the preliminary data

we got on Pete's LIDAR scanner.

It still needed to be processed,

but based on our
experiences so far,

we were really anxious

about what we might
find above the triangle.

I mean, we're at
the triangle right now.

All right, so give
me about ten seconds

and we'll be scanning.

Uh, it's running, it says.

Are you seeing data then?

Nothing yet.

Holy cow, there's something
right outside the aircraft.

- You're kidding!
- No, I am not kidding.

You were at 300 feet

and were detecting
an object in the air.

What?!

Copy you, Cameron.

You've got to be kidding me.

We are about 300
feet above ground level.

You can see the
green is the ground

and the red is the thing.

- This is unbelievable.
- Unbelievable.

In the past, all the
phenomena we've detected

above the triangle has been
nearly a mile up in the air.

But as soon as
Pete started scanning

with the LIDAR, he
detected something strange

beginning at an altitude
of just about 300 feet.

We had never seen
anything at the triangle

that close to the ground before.

They're climbing.

I don't know why, but I feel
really nervous about this.

It froze up, Pete.
It's checking something.

Nah, it's scanning.

Yeah, well, it's telling
me that it's checking.

It's not writing any more data.

All right, stand by.

No, it says it's
disconnected, which is odd.

Disconnected? That
doesn't make any sense.

Wow, that's weird.

Hey, well, your GPS is
off from your pressure.

We're-we're getting
discrepancies, right now.

Command Center, how
you doing? This is Cameron.

So the ground went away.

It was green and now
the ground's turned red.

And, uh, the anomaly
above it is-is still red.

I think we need to set
down and reset this thing.

Okay.

All right, I'm
going to stop scanning.

Uh...

Whoa.

Oh, my goodness.

Whoa.

Why'd they land in the field?

Radio them.

Travis, do you copy?

Hey, Erik, do you copy
inside the Command Center?

Yes, I do. What's up?

I want to reach out to Cameron.

They ended up
landing out in the field

for some odd reason.

In the field?

We're reset, we're
about to relaunch

and go do it again.

Copy that.

We'll keep our
eyes on you as well.

Yep.

Understood.

After we finished our LIDAR
scan above the east field,

we were eager to head
southwest to the triangle.

- All right, I'm going to start scanning.
- Yep.

Just let me know
when you've got data.

We're getting data right now,

there is something
right outside the aircraft.

As soon as we
approached the triangle,

we started detecting
some kind of anomaly again

right around 300 feet high.

I was getting really anxious

about what was
going to happen next.

Just start spiraling
up, Cameron.

Copy you, Cameron.

- Holy cow!
- What, what, what?

Look at that.

- You see it?
- Yes.

We've got an anomaly,

a clear anomaly right beside us.

We've had eyes on it with
three sets of binoculars

and we've seen nothing.

Uh, we at 5,000 feet?

We're almost there.

Tell them to launch.

Right as we
reached the mile-high zone,

this huge mass showed
up on the LIDAR,

and with the 1.6 gigahertz
signal being broadcast,

it was time to launch a rocket

and poke this nest
as hard as we could.

Three, two, one!

There it goes!

Yeah.

Which is what
we've seen before, Cameron.

Right here.

Wow.

- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa!

There you go.

Wow.

Yeah, we got a
downdraft right there.

- A little ass kick there.
- Yeah, yeah.

As we approached
the mile-high zone

above the triangle,

where we saw a UAP literally
disappear one year ago,

really strange winds
started encircling

the helicopter like a vortex.

It really made me nervous

about what the hell
we were flying into.

Yeah, I think
it's time to abort.

Copy you, Cameron.
We will clear the helipad.

It's exciting to
see that we're getting

interesting returns in real time

over the east field
and over the triangle.

- Pretty wild.
- Holy crap.

I really want to know are these
real features that we're seeing?

Shake my hand.

Heck yeah.

Wow, you guys.

Y'all are not
going to believe this.

Well, Pete's
face has me thinking

you guys caught
something amazing.

What did you see?

There is an anomaly

that this LIDAR
picked up in midair!

300 or 400 feet
above the ground.

It's impossible.
It's impossible.

It remained there, too.

It wasn't a quick
blip. As we circled

and made orbits, it-it remained.

Let's process the data
as soon as possible.

Cameron and I want a full
report at earliest convenience.

Well, we got to go
crunch some data.

- Yes, we do.
- Okay.

- Yeah, let's go.
- Let's get on that data!

- Yeah.
- I want to take this harness off!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, guys, we've got
Brandon and Cameron and Pete

on the line for video call.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Brandon.

Hey, greetings.

It's good to be with you.

Pete Kelsey
spent two days processing

all the LIDAR data we collected

above the east
field and the triangle,

so we couldn't wait to review
it with him and Brandon.

We needed to figure out
what we'd encountered up there

that had affected
the helicopter's flight

and controls so dramatically.

This is the data
from the helicopter flight.

So here we
are over the east field.

What you're seeing,
the icon of course is us.

The magenta line
is our trajectory,

that is the direction
we're flying.

And we can see that the
data is following the aircraft.

Something about it
that was... oh, right there it did...

See how it's doing
these zigzag jumps?

Something moved the helicopter.

It-it was unbelievable.

I mean, we were all like,
"Whoa! What was that?!"

It wasn't just left
and right oscillations,

it was forward and aft,

left and right all
almost simultaneous.

It was as if you had two magnets

next to each other,
repelling each other.

Whatever it was, it
was trying to push us off.

You know, I think that
has to mean something.

That's right.

Now I'll call your
attention to...

We have anomalous data
in the same general area.

So, here we
are over the east field.

Oh, wow.

This is right where I
had the interference

- with the helicopter as well, isn't it?
- Yes.

And-and there's
where I said you know what?

We've got an anomaly
in the spot again.

- This red feature.
- That red feature floating in midair.

Above... And
there's no trail to it.

Be advised, I should
disclose some issues

with this first scan.

This is the incredibly
frustrating part.

I've spoken with the vendor,

I mean, we've gone
through it at length.

The vendor looked at this and
went, "Nah, you're ghosting."

And ghosting is just...

the scanner picking up
probably my feet, the skid.

Well, I would
just expect consistency.

You know, if you're
picking up returns

from the blades
above or the skid below,

then I would expect to see
that through the whole thing,

- but the fact that you're only seeing it over one point...
- Yeah.

What is it about this ranch
that continues to throw us off?

It was really sobering to
all of us to hear from Pete Kelsey

that the LIDAR data might
not have been accurate.

But there were
certain things about it

that just couldn't
be explained away.

Pete, go forward, let me...
I'll tell you when to stop.

Go forward about... Right
there, right there. Stop.

Now, when you look at that,

this is right dead center over

where the column was there

in your photogrammetry data.

And-and if you look,

there's no pathway to it,

it's not anomalous
features until that spot.

Wow.

In the exact same spot

where we identified

the column-like
anomaly one year ago,

we now have a second
kind of scanning technology

that seems to be detecting
something strange again.

If you can back up
two frames, Pete.

Stop! Perfect. Look at that.

I-I'm gonna go to the screen

So, come on, guys, we've got...

some kind of wing-like features.

I mean, you look at that,

there's three-dimensional
detail here.

There was nothing there.

We flew a helicopter
and we wouldn't fly

that close to an
object like that.

This distance right
here from there to there

is probably ten meters.

Look at it. It tends
to have a shape to it.

Oh, my gosh.

That's actually pretty distinct.

That is compelling.

Now, if we were standing

in the road of the
driveway looking north,

and we took Pete's
photogrammetry data

and overlaid it on this image,

you would see the pillar

come up just like this.

Right where this spot is.

Wow.

In the same spot

where we detected a
column-shaped anomaly last year,

our LIDAR experiment

may have also identified
something strange.

And this is right
near a location

on top of the mesa

where ancient Indigenous people

built a stone monument
that's meant to represent

a portal on Skinwalker Ranch.

What could that be?

We don't know what it is,

but there's something that
was anomalous about that spot,

and we got it on multiple
sensors now, at least two.

I'm sitting here just stunned

because, I mean, no matter what,

we're dealing with
something that is a mystery.

And that it's only
over the east field?

Oh, it happened
at the triangle, too.

All right, guys, what
I'm going to bring up now

- is the data at the triangle.
- Yep.

There is what
appears to be ghosting

along the trajectory
that we actually flew.

But why so many in the one spot

as we're, uh, circling
around the triangle?

Well, again, I would
expect if you're seeing, uh,

returns from either
the-the blades above

or the-the skid below,

that it would be consistent
through the whole flight.

But that's the weird
part. Why is it not?

So, I-I'm with you, I
mean, there's no trajectory line

where this first showed
up. You see that?

- Yep.
- To cut to the chase,

I don't think this is 100%
conclusive in either direction.

I-I agree with that.

Yeah, it is so frustrating,

because it seems
like we're so close

to understanding what
we are dealing with.

We're seeing these
things appearing

that have no
conventional explanation.

It-It's so damn elusive.

I... If there's any way

we can execute on
another experiment

in rapid succession to this,

to seize this moment,

and get some
answers, I say go for it.

Well, uh, first and foremost,

Pete, uh, and Cameron,

the two of you may
recall, but if I recall,

I think we were about, uh...

300, 400 feet or
something like that, right?

Seems about right.

There's something new here.

You know, uh, some
of the interesting returns

were happening at
much lower altitudes

than, uh, we've, uh...

- A thousand feet or more lower.
- Right.

During previous
experiments at the triangle,

it seemed that
different phenomena

occurred about 5,000 feet high.

But now, if the
LIDAR data is correct,

it appears that something
is going on between

300 feet and that zone.

Look, you see that?

I do, did you see it bend?

Dude, did you see that?

Last year, we were
stunned to see lasers projected

up through the triangle
mysteriously bend.

There it goes.

And rockets that
we launched up there

get completely
deflected off target

by something we couldn't see.

And those things did
happen at various altitudes.

What was that bend all about?

So, could that mean
that the anomalous zone

is shifting along
a vertical plane

between 300 and 5,000 feet?

Or does it mean that it
may cover the entire space?

At this point, we don't know if
we can trust the LIDAR data,

so we're gonna have to
find another way to verify

what we found at both the
triangle and the east field.

We really need to look
over the triangle area at,

you know, 400 feet or so.

So how do you
envision that being done?

Uh, you know, you could
get a-a swarm of drones.

- Because they all fly on GPS coordinates.
- I like it.

And fly them in a grid pattern,

and fly them around out
there and see what happens.

And, you know, the way
we've seen GPS messed up,

who knows what it would do?

You know, these
people probably go...

People that do these drone
swarms for like light shows

and stuff, they are precise.

And the patterns do all
these geometric shapes.

You get them out here
and fly them over the triangle

where the GPS messes up,
there's no telling what you would see.

No pumping
the brakes at this point.

Let's just go full steam ahead.

Well, let's do
it. Let's move forward.

Yeah, let's go.

There's something
odd going on at this ranch.

I want to know the
answer to so many things.

Just what in the
world is going on here?

Every time we begin this work,

I never know what to expect.

And I've been surprised if
not shocked by the outcome

of each of our
aggressive experiments.

This year, we have
some things in mind

that might also be
considered aggressive,

but also visionary

and quite different from
what we've done before.

Coming into this investigation,

we had such little information.

But now it's coming to light

that so many different
government entities

were so interested
in this place,

it makes me feel like
we're truly on to something

and all eyes are watching.

My hope is to find answers.

Gain new insights,
be able to understand

the nature of what we are
dealing with at the ranch.

The deeper down the
rabbit hole that we travel,

the more complex
that it appears.

There are no easy answers
at Skinwalker Ranch.

I really don't know
what to expect here at the ranch.

Okay, we've got a
light that's moving.

There it is, right there!

That looks like a
bona fide UFO to me.

There is something
metallic in the mesa.

Whatever this is, is
as tall as the mesa.

We should be digging,
drilling right there.

The closer that
we are getting to the answers,

the more covert
military activity.

We have a
helicopter right over the triangle!

It just went dark!

It was a Black Hawk helicopter.

- Somebody's up on the ridge.
- Right there!

We seem to be poking
the hornet's nest like never before.

There's a heat source
right above them.

Do you feel like this may be

- a dangerous area to be working in?
- Very.

The coyotes didn't
kill this animal.

Middle of the day, an orb like
that showing up, that's crazy.

This is the
largest scale experiment

that we've ever
done here so far.

- Fire!
- We've got a malfunction!

There's something in
the sky above the rocket!

We're maybe
looking at the anomaly

for the first time, guys.

There is definitely
something here

on Skinwalker Ranch.
