THOMAS: I've heard
there's underground bases here.

So many stories about these...

caverns in the mesa.

AARON: I'm up against
something pretty hard.

THOMAS: We're hoping
that we can drill through it

and see if we hit any voids.

BRYANT: That looks like
a big chunk of something.

THOMAS: What is that?

It definitely looks metallic.

BRYANT: Let's run a snake
camera down the mesa.

Oh, there it is.

What is that?

It's as if this thing
is broadcasting.

This thing shouldn't be
broadcasting anything.

- Just have a listen at this.
- [beeping, static crackling]

Hey. Are you okay?

No.

BRYANT: Tom just blacked out.

NARRATOR: 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.

- BRYANT: Hey, guys. -TOM: Hey.
- KANDUS: Hey, Bryant.

I wanted to check up on you.

- Mm. Yeah.
- Thanks.

You had me scared to death.

- [chuckles]
- Yeah, it was scary.

It was a scary experience.

What I remember
hearing was just, like,

this really loud...

you know, static noise.

It sounded like...

maybe like a train.

It was, like, just...

noise.

TRAVIS: Two days ago...

- How deep are you?
- 80 feet.

Our team had one of the
most bizarre experiences yet

out of all of our investigations
on Skinwalker Ranch.

You starting to get some
of the fluid coming back?

Yeah, looks like we got it back!

ERIK: Oh, yeah, I can see it.

TRAVIS: While we
were drilling into the mesa

where we've discovered
evidence of a cavern system

as well as some kind of
large metallic obstruction...

-[beeping] -...Erik Bard detected
the mysterious communication signal

and energy spike
at 1.6 gigahertz

on his spectrum analyzer...

It's as if this thing
is broadcasting.

Just like we got two weeks ago

after digging near
Homestead Two.

Well, just have
a listen at this.

TRAVIS: But then, when
Erik played the frequency

for Dragon and Tom Lewis,
who were over at Homestead Two

checking for any other
strange energy readings...

- Are you okay?
- No.

All the blood
rushed out of my...

- my brain.
- Tom suddenly blacked out

and had to be
rushed to the hospital.

♪ ♪

The last thing I
remember is you were

on the radio and you
played that weird sound.

And I remember Bryant asking

what, you know...
What does this mean.

And then... my eyes
started going black.

- KANDUS: Mm.
- And, um...

So, yeah, I just kind of...

tried to catch my balance,

you know, as best I could and...

But I-I couldn't hear anything.

I couldn't see anything.

I really thought I was
having a heart attack.

My feet felt like they
were in blocks of ice.

I couldn't catch my breath
until I got off the ranch.

And my vision was
kind of the same way.

It came back as soon
as we got out of the gate.

That's when it cleared.

Flew to the ER.

Hooked me up to an EKG.

I'm wearing a heart
monitor just to make sure

that it's not still happening.

ERIK: When we talk about
our heartbeat, we're talking

about something that
is e-electrically driven.

And it's as if there
were some sort of...

disturbance to that
electrical rhythm

- of your heart.
- Mm-hmm.

BRYANT: I don't know what
it is about Homestead Two,

but this is now three instances,

with Tom Lewis and Roland
McCook almost blacking out,

as well as where Travis
got radiation burns.

This area is a
high caution area,

and I'm gonna make sure

that I'm keeping my
eyes open for anything.

'Cause the last thing I want
is more people getting hurt.

Well, I can think of
nothing more important

for us to investigate than
what is affecting our health.

- Mm-hmm.
- Or affecting us neurologically, physiologically, otherwise.

Obviously, we want
you to continue to rest

and get to full strength so
you can be back out there

- with us.
- Yeah.

We're just glad
that, ultimately,

that you're okay
and you're back safe.

- Thank you. Thanks for everybody's help.
- Yeah.

- Getting me out of there.
- I appreciate this. 100%.

- 'Kay. Thanks, you guys.
- KANDUS: All right.

We'll see you later.

THOMAS: See you later.

♪ ♪

THOMAS: Well, you guys
ready to go at it again?

AARON: Yeah, we're ready.

Aaron, you're gonna
want to see this.

This is what came
out of your tank.

This material here.
It's-it's rather brittle.

Out of the spoils that we
went and dumped over there.

This came out of the pit?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Wow.

TRAVIS: A couple weeks ago,

a former security officer that
used to work for Robert Bigelow

showed Thomas Winterton

and Kaleb Bench
a spot on the mesa

where he said a large
cave was located.

But now it's all
covered by boulders.

Oh, yeah. This is it.

So, for the last few days,

while I've been
away from the ranch,

the guys have been
conducting a drilling operation

to see if a large void or cavern
really could be inside there.

Come on, sweetheart.

TRAVIS: The plan
was to drill laterally

from the road into
the base of the mesa.

And so far, nearly 300 feet in,

they've discovered
evidence of a void.

But the drill bit has
also been scraping up

against a huge obstruction
that it can't penetrate.

And a bunch of small
metallic fragments

have come out in the spoils.

Any chance this could be
coming off of your equipment?

There's no way it would
come out of the drill.

TRAVIS: Now, we don't know

if Bigelow had a cave
purposely covered up,

but given the rumors we've heard

about everything from
an underground base

to even a spacecraft
being hidden in the mesa,

makes the drilling
team really curious

what this obstruction
or object could be.

Well, I say we get at it and see

- if we can get you past that point.
- All right.

Yeah, let's see if we
can break through there.

- 'Kay.
- All right.

THOMAS: Now that Tom's
back on the ranch and recovering,

we're ready to
get back to drilling.

And speaking for myself
and the rest of the team,

we're not stopping until
we get some answers

about what's going on

with this mystery
inside the mesa.

ERIK: The results of
Bigelow's investigation

have never been fully released.

There's talk of evidence

having been discovered

to support the idea
of some kind of base

or perhaps an
ancient alien artifact.

I'm not sure why others
have come to that conclusion,

but clearly something strange
is going on in this mesa.

As we continue
drilling, I'll be monitoring

the spectrum
analyzer, the TriField

and other meters,
looking for that strange

1.6 gigahertz RF signal
that we've encountered

or for any potentially
dangerous spikes in radiation.

No, that's going down
the hill, you son of a buck.

THOMAS: Are you
shaking your head?

Yeah, I'm still hitting
that ledge and...

it keeps pushing me down.

How far back are we?

We are about 311 foot.

Okay. And you're still
hitting up against that?

Yeah. Still hitting
up against it.

'Kay.

As far as any anomalous
signals or data or anything,

- are we seeing any of that?
- No.

Uh, at least so far, no.

AARON: Come on, sweetheart.

Why don't you want to come up?

Did you ever get any kind
of an idea what would make

your spectrum analyzer...

- broadcast as opposed to receive?
- No.

No, I-I want to sort
that out up here.

You know, look, it's a bit
concerning that that's happening

in the same time window
when Tom had his episode.

Yeah.

See? There's nothing.
Why won't you come out?

- So, uh, guys?
- Yeah.

- Aaron's hitting a ledge.
- Mm-hmm.

And that ledge seems to be
angled down at a slight angle,

and the bit's coming
up at such an angle

- that as he's pushing, it's just kind of...
- Yep. Yep.

- Like, skipping down.
- Bouncing.

- Yeah.
- So,

um, yeah, he continues
to be pushed down

- deeper.
- Yeah.

[grinding, creaking sounds]

Boy, that thing sounds like
it's hitting something hard.

What the heck is...

[rattling sounds]

[shuts off motor]

Hey, guys, come on down here.

That was quite the noise
that was just making.

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

So, we're coming up about
11 inches every ten feet.

It was... it was
directing you downward.

And now you're still on it but
it's allowing you to go upwards?

- Right.
- So it... That-that tells us something about the shape

- of this hard layer.
- Mm-hmm.

Or this-this... Whatever
this impenetrable thing is.

So it sounds like you're
describing kind of a "V,"

where this hard
shelf is coming down.

And now you're saying that it's
starting to turn and go back up.

So we've got kind of a-a "V"

that your bit is sitting
there bumping up against,

trying to find a place
to start drilling up.

- Is that right?
- Right. Right.

May not even be a "V."

It could even be...

maybe a dome.

♪ ♪

- AARON: It could a dome the way it's going.
- Oh, really?

'Cause you're not
that sharp of a turn.

- Wow!
- How far back are we?

We are about 330, 340 feet.

Gosh.

ERIK: Our drilling
expert, Aaron, reports that

he's hitting some
kind of hard layer that

he describes as perhaps
a dome inside the mesa.

There's no good reason
for that as far as we're aware.

We're gonna find out what
it is and why it's in the mesa.

How unusual is it
in your experience

to not be able to punch up
through something like this?

The stuff that we're
using right now

to drill up through this mesa,

it should go through
that layer pretty easily.

- But it's not.
- And it's not.

I'm gonna be really
fascinated to see

what's coming out of that hole,

so when you guys get
ready to dump the spoils,

we definitely want
to put a screen

under there and catch it.

- We definitely want to analyze that.
- If we're doing that,

it should be at the bottom
of that pit right there.

THOMAS: Okay.

We'll go ahead and get
that sucked out for you

and head over there to dump it.

Okay.

[starts engine]

THOMAS: As we get
deeper into the hill,

Aaron keeps hitting
a hard surface.

And so we set the screen up.

We have this large object
that we're bumping up against,

and maybe there's
something coming out

that could give us a
clue as to what that is.

BRYANT: There we go.

[engine stops]

THOMAS: More metal.

Check this out.

BRYANT: Wow,
that is a lot of metal.

- Look at this.
- Same thing?

BRYANT: I cannot believe
there's that much metal in this.

I mean, look how
much of it there is.

Wait, there's one right...

THOMAS: And
some of it's fairly...

Look how much
of this stuff is in

- this little spoils pile. Right?
- Mm-hmm.

So, there's no telling how
much of this metallic crap

there is still in that hillside.

The fact that we're
getting all these thin layers

of this substance, and
Aaron was hitting something

so hard with his drill rig
he couldn't penetrate it,

are we just chipping
away at something

much larger under the mesa?

I don't know, but
we have to find out.

I mean, it's all through here.

- It's ground up chunks of it.
- It's... it's everywhere.

- Big pieces.
- Yeah.

It's almost as if it all
came off the same object.

That hard shelf that
he's been hitting,

- trying to get up through.
- Yeah. Yeah.

ERIK: Well, I say
we bag this up.

THOMAS: Could this metal be
coming from that hard surface

that we've been
bumping up against

trying to break through
for hundreds of feet?

I want to get in there
more than ever now

and discover what exactly
that hard surface was,

and where is this
metal coming from?

That's out of the last dump.

AARON: Wow.
THOMAS: It's all metal.

This is the better part
of what we collected

on our screen, and it
appears to all be refined metal.

- Huh?
- And you're how far in?

Right around 400.

That's a big metal
object. 'Cause you...

I mean, you still
can't cut through it?

I still can't get through it.

- What?
- ERIK: Wow.

Well, I mean, I
guess at this point

we need to figure
out a course of action.

[scoffs] Many courses of action.

Well, the sample is in
hand can be analyzed,

and we can get
compositional information,

but it's not going to
tell us the whole story.

THOMAS: A lot to follow up with.

Well, you guys have
been true professionals.

You've done a great job, you've
done everything we've asked.

Obviously, it's not your fault

that we've got something really
hard that's domed under there,

and so, yeah, we'll
press pause on it for now

and figure out what
we're going to do next.

But, we might have you back.

- All right.
- Yeah, I'd call it a success, Aaron.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Well, thank you.

BRYANT: Aaron has
tried and tried to get his drill

to go up into the mesa,
but whatever is in there

is driving it deeper
into the ground

and we've reached the
maximum 410-feet depth.

It's getting late in the day.

We'd love him to
come back, but for now,

we need to have him
get his equipment out

and reassess what
we're gonna do next.

Okay. Well, I say we wrap it up,

clean up, and
let's get out of here.

Okay.

♪ ♪

- ERIK: Hey, Travis.
- Hey, fellas.

You know, not to, to over-
exaggerate or dramatize it,

but I think that we could
have found one of the most

significant finds, not only
on the ranch, but maybe

- the entire Uinta Basin.
- You're kidding.

No. We're excited to share
with you what we found.

- Okay.
- According to Aaron,

who was the lead drill operator,

We've encountered
this layer that we can't

get the drill to
come up through.

- Really? He couldn't penetrate it at all?
- Yeah.

He was never able
to turn that bit upwards

because he kept
encountering this hard layer

- that was actually driving him deeper down.
- Wow.

What it was doing was
bumping up against that,

and it just kept kind of
skipping down the surface

and pushing him further
and further underground

until it started to come
back up a little bit.

And it appears to be some type
of dome shaped hard surface.

- What?
- Yeah. This makes no sense, Travis.

He drilled to where
he put out 400 feet

of drill pipe and still was
never able to make the turn up.

400 feet into the
side of the hill.

That's insane!

And I want to say here, too,

Aaron has been
drilling for 20-plus years.

He is recognized as
one of the very, very best

in his field.

I think that if anybody
could have got through this,

it would have been him.

So it's 400 feet long, uh,

whatever this thick material is?

That's what it appears to be.

And I want to say here, too,

we were able to retrieve
a pretty significant quantity

of metal material.

- Wow.
- And there was an abundance

of this stuff, and it was all
very uniformly wafer-thin.

This is really bizarre.

What in the world could this be?

If there really is a
400-foot-long, dome-shaped

metallic object buried
deep in the mesa,

maybe the guys have
finally pinpointed something

that could lead to answers

about why Skinwalker
Ranch has been the center

of so many strange
phenomena for all these years.

Well, I guess this begs the
question, after everything

we've discovered and talked
about: what do we do next?

We follow the data.

We're going to continue
following the data at that site.

This may be the most
interesting site on the ranch

- to us at this point.
- Agreed.

- Right.
- Yeah.

I want to get these samples
to one of the universities

here locally, and have
them do elemental mapping

to see if there is something
more here than meets the eye.

So, uh, I'll be, I'll be
back out there tomorrow,

- and we'll go from there.
- All right. Sounds good.

This is weird and crazy, guys,

all this stuff that you guys
found in just a few days.

That's pretty amazing.

TRAVIS: All right. Thanks,
guys. I'll see you soon.

Here we are, Ryan.

Well, so our hole is over here.

Right when I got back
to Skinwalker Ranch,

we were all eager to see just
what the huge, dome-shaped

object buried inside
the mesa could be.

So we brought out
underground visualization expert

Ryan Marcantel

to feed a specialized robotic
camera into the hole we drilled.

Oh, wow. So, this goes
right under the mesa?

- 400 feet that way.
- Wow.

When that bit got into
the base of the mesa there,

which is about 80 feet,

the bit came up, it
hit something hard.

What we have is we've got
some dome-shaped hard feature

under there that's
dished out like this.

RYAN: Well, that's exciting.

Let's get the equipment
and we can set it up.

Hopefully, you
can just climb down,

- stand in that to feed it in.
- Easy.

RYAN: The robotics that we use

are really designed
for confined spaces.

Great to use in
purposes like this.

So, we brought out a
VT100, which is a robot

with a PTZ camera
on it, 1080P readout.

It can be configured
in many different forms.

Today, we're using tracks,
just because we're navigating

over different types of terrain.

Everything seems
to be working fine.

Uh, what we'll do is
we'll go ahead and,

I'll get down there
now and go ahead

- and put it in the hole.
- Okay.

And then we'll go
ahead and start, and, uh,

we'll keep a visual
on everything.

THOMAS: With all the stories
that we've heard of tunnels

and caverns and underground
bases here in the mesa,

I finally feel like we're starting
to make some progress.

With this six-inch hole drilled
400 feet into the mountain,

who knows what we would see

if we could get this
camera back there?

We definitely need to
investigate it a lot more,

but I do feel like maybe
there's some evidence there

that could back up some of
these stories that we've been told.

BRYANT: Well, looks like
he's getting it down in there.

Oh, look at that.

TRAVIS: Oh, wow.

THOMAS: That's pretty cool.

That's a pretty clear picture.

RYAN: All right, so we will
start recording right now.

Let me, uh, at least
get something here

so it doesn't have
to work so hard.

Hey, Thomas, if
you wouldn't mind...

I'm gonna go forward, just...

feed it into the hole
as I'm going forward.

Okay. [exhales]

Okay, go ahead.

Traction moving fine, Thomas?

Oh, yeah.

RYAN: Oh, there we go.

BRYANT: Not very far though.

No, it's just right at
the entrance right now.

Everything looks like
it's working properly?

THOMAS: Wait a second.

It's getting hung up.

So we bring in this
camera that sits on crawlers,

and it's designed to crawl up,

and it can go up as
far as a thousand feet.

Unfortunately,

we couldn't get it to
go up into the hole more

than two or three feet.

Why it's not moving,
is beyond me.

[grunts]

- BRYANT: He can't get it.
- RYAN: Yeah, it's not going.

THOMAS: It's stuck.
Like, I can't even...

- RYAN: Okay.
- I can't even push it.

I'm at 100% forward right now,

and it's just, it's
being held up.

That's not going anywhere.

That thing's not going.

I don't think it's
going to go in.

THOMAS: This is
sophisticated equipment.

It shouldn't be doing this.

Makes me wonder, has
something shifted underground

by what we did?

Or, you know, is
something else at play here

that's stopping it from going?

'Cause, you know, we saw
how smooth that thing was.

And now it's getting stopped.

TRAVIS: This is bizarre.

This was a wide-open
drill hole just yesterday.

There's no reason
to explain how a hole

drilled through solid rock
would have closed in like this.

BRYANT: Well, it's frustrating.

As much as I wanted
it, I-I don't think that this

is gonna get us back
to that 400-foot mark.

No, neither do I. And I know...

- that we're... we have gravity on our side up there.
- Yeah.

So I'd really like to get you
and myself and Thomas up there

to see if we can't explore

and get better answers to what
we found in that upper cavern.

RYAN: Yeah.

BRYANT: What is that?

TRAVIS: Last week,

during the drilling operation,

Dragon and Thomas Winterton

fed a snake camera down
into one of the crevices

they found in the mesa,

and they recorded clear
video of a metallic object

with strange lines and
different colors on it.

BRYANT: It definitely looks like

it's reflecting
something off of there.

What is that?

Hey, Travis, I
left a radio there.

I've got one, too, so if
we need to communicate.

TRAVIS: Thank
you. All right, I'll get it.

TRAVIS: Ryan also brought
an additional HD camera device

outfitted with a claw extension
designed to grab objects.

The hope is that if the
metal Thomas and Dragon

originally got on
video was one piece,

then Ryan's claw
could retrieve it.

Or we could
determine if it's actually

a part of something much
larger beneath the surface.

All right, guys.

- I've got these two.
- RYAN: All right.

I'll take one from you, Thomas.

THOMAS: So our hope is,
to drop our snake camera

down at the same time
and with that gripper claw

grab onto the metallic
object we found earlier.

All right, we got
it. We got view.

She's good to go.

The ability of this one
to pan, tilt and zoom,

- I think will help.
- RYAN: Yeah.

Well, let me go ahead
and lower this one in.

RYAN: Okay.

- THOMAS: You are recording, right?
- RYAN: Yup, we are recording.

We've got good view,
picture looks great.

THOMAS: Okay.

BRYANT: It's just
not getting past.

Are you at that first ledge?

- At that first little ledge.
- Yeah.

[speaking indistinctly]

BRYANT: Come on, baby.

Get down in there again.

Why is this being
so difficult now?

[groans]

- THOMAS: Just trying to... Gosh, I just can't get it...
- RYAN: Yeah.

To freakin' go past that point.

It's so frustrating.

I mean, we were down 30 feet.

Now we can't even
get it down to what,

12 foot?

How-how far down is that?

RYAN: We were a little
over ten foot a while ago.

BRYANT: I'm actually
looking right now

at what looks like
a great big boulder.

It looks like it may
have actually fallen

right over that opening.

You see what I'm
talking about, right there?

- THOMAS: Oh, yeah.
- BRYANT: That's a big rock.

- THOMAS: That is a big rock.
- That's a big rock.

What are the odds of
one, which almost looks like

a perfectly round boulder,

going and covering
up that opening?

- That's so odd.
- Gosh, this ranch.

TRAVIS: We've got
the elemental analysis

of that material
you guys pulled out

- of the drill hole.
- Really?

- ERIK: Yeah.
- It is actually one of the most

rare elements on the planet.

- THOMAS: That's interesting.
- Why the hell is it in our mesa?

It's odd how you say
it's very cylindrical.

That's so odd.

THOMAS: It is just like
it's been plugged up.

BRYANT: It almost
looks like it was just a plug

that was stuck in place there.

BRYANT: It's disappointing
that we've asked Ryan

to come out with
this special camera

that's on a motorized vehicle,

that he claims can get
back inside the mesa.

But this vehicle couldn't
even make it a few feet

inside the hole, so
we couldn't explore

the lateral drill hole.

And now this
perfectly round rock

is covering the entrance to the
hole we want to get it down in.

Why is the ranch stopping
us from getting in there?

At the end of the day,
the ranch is going to do

what it's going to do

and I feel like I'm
almost helpless.

Hey, Dragon,

- Tom. You guys copy?
- You want to get it?

Yeah, Travis. Go ahead.

Have y'all found
anything up there yet?

THOMAS: We just
found a great big boulder,

almost perfectly round,

that fell down and
blocked the entrance.

Now that's a little bit
crazy and suspicious.

Yeah, Travis.

With this boulder in the way,

we really can't get
the camera deeper.

There's really not any
other course of action

we can take at this time.

TRAVIS: When
we were first started

investigating this
spot, we were told

by former Bigelow
employee Chris Bartel

that it used to be a cave.

So we wondered if someone
had purposely covered it up.

But now, seeing this
drill hole in the mesa

and this crevice up above
both getting inexplicably

blocked up overnight
makes no logical sense.

Just what the hell
could be in this mesa,

and what is preventing
us from finding out?

BRYANT: We'll
get it. It's just...

by these means, it's
not gonna happen today.

Let's get this stuff cleaned
up and get out of here.

- Thanks, Ryan.
- RYAN: Oh, thank you.

- Appreciate it.
- I appreciate you guys.

- ERIK: Hey, gentleman.
- THOMAS: Hey, guys.

We've got the analysis
back from the lab

that did the scanning
electron microscope,

uh, elemental analysis

of that material
you guys pulled out

- of the drill hole.
- Really? Yeah.

TRAVIS: The next day,
Erik received a report

from the materials science
and engineering department

at the University of
Utah about the metal

that the guys drilled
out of the mesa.

So, we all gathered in the
Command Center to review it

and see what this huge

dome-shaped object
might be made of.

The data that they gave us

from the elemental
analysis is really interesting.

On one side of the
material, there's, uh, tellurium

and on the other side of
the material there's europium.

Tellurium is a
semiconductor material

that is used in solar panels.

The europium, uh, it's been
experimentally measured

that under certain circumstances
is a superconductor.

- THOMAS: Really?
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: The elements
found in this metal

from deep inside the mesa

has properties just like
those of a semiconductor

and a superconductor,
which are both used

in modern-day electronics

like computer
processors, MRI machines,

electronic vehicles, radios,

and even smart phones.

But why is it here on
Skinwalker Ranch?

Now, what's
interesting is tellurium is

is the second, uh...

most rare element on the planet.

Same goes for europium.

It is actually one
of the most, uh,

rare elements, uh,
on the planet, also.

- THOMAS: That's interesting.
- Wow.

TRAVIS: Those things
have specific uses.

Both of those materials
are used in developing

modern quantum computer systems.

ERIK: So it sounds like
we're looking at a structured

material like as if it were
perhaps deliberately structured.

At least that's what I'm
reading into what you're saying.

Well, well, how-how
else do you get

one of the elements
only on one side

and one of the elements
only on the other side?

Well, that's a lot of
information to digest.

And how many pieces
did you have them test?

I sent two samples

- about this-this size.
- BRYANT: Okay.

And... and it was the
same way on both pieces?

- One side had that element... Okay.
- ERIK: Yes.

Yeah, in fact that's pretty
consistent across ev... all...

That's interesting though...
Across all the samples

that we've collected, there
are two distinctly different sides.

THOMAS: Wow.

Tell me what the superconductor
on one side, semiconductor

on the other side... tell me
what that would be used for.

TRAVIS: Okay, so I have read

some speculative, uh, pa...

Scientific papers in, like,
uh, classical quantum gravity,

couple other papers,
that suggest, uh...

that if you took layers of
semiconductors, conductors

and superconductors,

and you put these
in multiple layers,

you could actually
create a region,

uh, that might manipulate

the space-time metric.

Meaning it might
bend space and time.

Really?

And in fact, it's an experiment

that's being sort of tested
at the NASA Eagleworks Lab

where they're
trying to figure out

how to reproduce
something like that.

Right now, NASA
is testing a concept

for exploring areas
in deep space,

whereby stacked layers
of this type of material

that we found in the mesa

could be used to move a
spacecraft from one location

in the universe to another

faster than the speed of light.

Now this is a technology
that mankind hasn't proven yet.

So who or what might have
buried it on Skinwalker Ranch?

I-I just, I just
find it interesting

that on a ranch where
we have so much

electromagnetic
interreference, so many problems

with our, with our electronics
and-and we're pulling

out metal that appears

like it could have a
superconductor on one side,

conductor on the other side.

- If that was large enough...
- Sure.

Could that be the cause
of what we're seeing?

TRAVIS: Yeah, maybe.

You know, it sure is interesting

that just as we're
getting into whatever

part of the mesa that
bears this material,

we start seeing unusual things
happening with the equipment.

BRYANT: You know what,
are we hitting something

that we're not
supposed to be finding?

Is there more at
play here than that?

Is it, gosh, do we
want to go crazy,

some sort of a craft
or something like that,

that was put in there that
we're finally hitting into

that was never supposed
to be discovered.

I don't know.

Let's not forget that
we have been told

many, many stories
about these deep caverns,

a hill opening up
and a ship flying in...

BRYANT: There's
so many questions.

Why only one element on one
side? Why one on the other?

Why is it so wafer thin?
Why the hell is it in our mesa?

- TRAVIS: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 300 feet in.

If it is manufactured,
why the hell

is it inside the mesa,
like you just said.

How did it get there and
what was it before it got there?

Was it manufactured there? Was
it manufactured somewhere else

and put there? I mean, there's
so many questions that opens up.

ERIK: Well, looking at
what we've got on our hands,

I want to take these
samples to a metallurgist.

I'm hopeful that we might
be able to take samples

like this and put them in
front of someone who does

this work and ask,
"Have you seen this stuff?"

TRAVIS: Good
idea. Let's do that.

ERIK: This only deepens my
interest in how this material got there,

how much of it is there,

and is it somehow participating
in the phenomenology?

It makes sense for us to
connect with a metallurgist

and I'm looking forward
to comparing notes.

- Okay, let's do it.
- Let's do it.

- TRAVIS: Good morning.
- RAVI: Morning.

Hey. Travis Taylor.

- Ravi Chandran.
- Nice to meet you, sir.

- Ravi, Erik Bard.
- Nice to meet you.

So you did the analysis of
the, uh, samples that we sent?

TRAVIS: Ah.

The day after we
got the report showing

that the metal fragments
from deep inside the mesa

were not natural,

Erik and I went to
the University of Utah

to meet with Professor of
Metallurgical Engineering

Dr. Ravi Chandran, to
get his expert opinion

and help us figure
out what the huge,

dome-shaped object could be.

Okay.

ERIK: Now that's interesting.

What among the rarer elements

did you see in the sample?

- Mm-hmm.
- The way I understand it,

there was also
trace elements of, uh,

europium and
tellurium in the sample.

Okay.

This material was manufactured

as opposed to a
natural occurrence?

Yeah, and, you know,
the other interesting thing

uh, about it is

we do know that the drill bit
that brought this thing back

bounced off of this stuff.

It's like a glass, it's like
a ceramic composite.

Right? Yeah, so... that
makes a lot of sense.

It reminds me of when I worked
on the space shuttle program

with the tiles that
we put on that.

That was a ceramic
material that was centered

and it had a huge
thermal capacity.

Yeah.

- TRAVIS: Yeah.
- ERIK: Well, that's interesting.

That's actually
very interesting.

If this huge, dome-shaped
object in the mesa

is covered with the same kind
of materials that NASA uses

to protect space shuttles from
burning up when they reenter

our atmosphere, could
the rumors we've heard

about a spacecraft being
buried on Skinwalker Ranch

really be true?

Oh. Look at that.

CASEY: What's that?
It's, like, pitch-black.

That is some dark, dark stuff.

TRAVIS: One year
ago, when we drilled

almost a hundred feet
deep at the triangle area,

we discovered a
strange substance

made of manganese,
iron, aluminum,

sulfur and silicon

that could also be
related to spacecraft.

If you go and take any

modern-day fighter
plane or spacecraft,

and you crush it up and
then you take a sample of it,

- you're probably gonna get these materials.
- BRYANT: Oh!

And given the fact that
the aerial experiments

we conducted a few weeks ago

above the triangle, ended
up giving us GPS data

inside the mesa,
I'm really wondering

just what we're getting
close to finding here

on Skinwalker Ranch.

Well, I hope that we
can find more samples,

uh, in the not
too distant future

and get back out here with-with
more, and maybe we can get

some more details and more data

that may help us
get to that answer.

Well, this has been
real enlightening.

- ERIK: Fantastic, okay.
- Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you. You, too.

I'm gonna go dump this again.

TRAVIS: While Erik and I
were making our way back

to the ranch, Thomas
and Dragon were

going through
the leftover spoils

from the drilling
operation at the mesa,

searching for more
clues and evidence

of what's really going
on beneath the property.

[over radio]:
Bryant, this is Kaleb.

Kaleb, this is Thomas.

Hey, Tom, can you
guys come to the triangle?

I got a collapse
over on this side.

A collapse?

All right, well, we're
over here at the drill hole.

We're just finishing up.
So we'll head over that way

and see you in a few minutes.

THOMAS: In talking
to Kaleb on the radio

about a collapse in at
the triangle, it makes me

wonder what could
be causing this.

Why now?

What do you got?

It's gone down about ten
feet in this section here.

- BRYANT: Yeah, that's recent.
- THOMAS: Oh, wow, it's back there a ways.

This is crazy, guys.

This spot is the exact spot

that we drilled into
that void last year.

THOMAS: That's massive.

BRYANT: That is a big one.

TRAVIS: This massive
collapse was not only strange

because it happened
at the triangle.

It was also right where
we drilled last year

into another mysterious void.

Where we recovered
metallic materials,

that could be
related to spacecraft,

just like we found in the mesa.

You know, I wonder
what's causing that.

Gosh, you almost have
to pose the question...

is this a result of the
drilling we were doing

over there that's causing this?

It's interesting, you're right.

I mean, it didn't cave in

- until we started drilling over there.
- Right.

TRAVIS: When the team
was drilling in the mesa,

they pumped over
2,000 gallons of water

that disappeared
somewhere inside.

I just don't know
where it's going.

Is it possible
that all that water

made its way down to the
void we discovered last year

below the triangle
and caused a collapse?

- See how it's just running in?
- Yeah.

- It's falling apart.
- That is really flowing.

- It's like a river down there.
- TRAVIS: Is this

an opening to a
big void, and if so,

could that mean that
a tunnel or a cavern

under the triangle is
connected to the massive void

in the mesa where
we've discovered evidence

of a huge dome-shaped
metal object?

It's been sitting
here for a year.

Right. So why now?

At what point do you
have to draw the line

and say this is no
longer a coincidence?

It seems like without
fail, every time we put

a shovel in the
ground, and in this case

I would extend
it to a drilling rig,

things just start happening.

It seems the more that
we do invasive drilling

or digging or
whatever on this place,

other things go
bad in other spots.

You know? Who knows
what else is gonna happen?

- Okay, well...
- Thanks, man.

I appreciate you bringing
this to our attention.

It's definitely a hazard

-that we've got -to
deal with, so... Yeah.

- Thanks, Kaleb.
- Yep.

I'll see you guys later.

TRAVIS [over radio]:
Hey, guys, you copy?

THOMAS: Yeah, go ahead.

TRAVIS: I'm gonna

start moving back
and forth up the mesa

looking at holes with
the spectrum analyzer.

Just let us know if you
find anything interesting.

All right, sure will then.

Talk to you soon.

The day after Kaleb noticed

the cave-in at the triangle,

we wanted to see if that event

might have been connected
to our drilling operation

and what we believe is

a massive dome-shaped
metal object

buried inside the mesa.

There's got to be some
holes in all of that right there.

Has to be.

So while Dragon and Thomas made

another attempt to
get around the boulder

with their snake camera
and get a better look at that

metal object down inside
there, I was scanning

other crevices near the drill
site with the spectrum analyzer,

looking for any signs of
strange energy spikes.

If the collapse that
happened at the triangle

really was connected
to the object in the mesa,

I wanted to see if there
might be any readings

for the 1.6 gigahertz RF signal

that we keep detecting
when strange things

happen on the ranch.

Yeah, there's nothing here.

Hey, Dragon, you copy?

Yeah, I got you.
Go ahead, Travis.

This is a pretty
good hole over here,

but I'm not really getting any
readings or anything out of it.

If you guys are, uh,
gonna be going for a while,

- I'm just gonna start heading down.
- Okay, copy.

Be safe going down.

[rumbling]

Is he clear?

What the hell's that?

What the hell was that?

Is everything
all right down there?

I wonder if all the activity
we've been doing here

in the mesa has caused
something to shift underneath.

TRAVIS:
Hey, Tom, Dragon, you guys copy?

THOMAS:
Yeah, we copy you, Travis.

We just heard
a really loud noise up here,

sounded like something crashed
down there.

Did you hear it?

Man, there was a serious rumble.

I mean, the ground shook.

You could feel it in your feet.

The way that felt, would be like

if you took a, you know,

a one-ton rock
and dropped it about...

ten or 20 or 30 feet.

Well, it was really loud
up where we were at.

We were afraid that something
had crashed down there.

Maybe the inside
of this mountain is shifting

right now as we speak.

Whoa! What was that?

Out of the corner of my eye,

I thought I saw something flash

in the sky to the west
over Homestead Two.

What?

I saw something just, boom,
real quick across the sky.

We need a much larger rocket
that go up through the triangle

and multiple very large lasers.

You are proposing
something on a grand scale.

TRAVIS:
There it goes!

- Oh, [bleep]. Let's go.
- Oh, my God.

Travis, you-you got to see this.

- It disappeared.
- What did it disappear into?
