TRAVIS: I'm Dr. Travis Taylor.

I was invited to investigate this area

known as Skinwalker Ranch.

We've verified and documented everything

from UFO sightings to these columns of light

above the mesa, and even cattle mutilations.

TRAVIS: Let's go up the mountain.

Look at that. Microwaves like that

could be harmful to humans.

If you want the phenomenon

to manifest itself, you go and dig somewhere.

- When you dig, bad stuff happens.

One day I was digging,

my scalp separated from my skull.

If you're gonna be a part of this,

I have to unequivocably say no digging.

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,

researches and experts has taken over.

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

TRAVIS: Hey, Brandon. - Greetings, team. Uh, I'm glad that you've patched me in,

and I'm wondering how the investigation is progressing.

- So, one of the first things the guys want to do is...

they want to dig.

You know, I-I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

There are certain risks

you just haven't been properly briefed on.

TRAVIS: Well, we need to be briefed on that data, then.

I understand. Erik,

show them what is in the case.

Regrettably, I have to go to a meeting, so I'll look

for your update later. Thanks, gentlemen. -Will do.

-Thank you. -Thanks, Brandon. -See you later, Brandon.

(beeping)

TRAVIS: I came into this saying,

"Look, guys, we're gonna follow the scientific method."

You can't keep data away from the experiment

and not show the rest of the team

in order for it to be a good experiment.

So what I am going to show you may offer an explanation

for some of what we've been seeing on the property.

You'll understand as soon as I open this up.

You might recognize it.

It's a very large neodymium magnet.

-It's like the China syndrome of magnets. -Yes.

It's capable of exerting quite a bit of force.

TRAVIS: Yeah, I mean, you can lose a finger

-under a magnet like that. -Yeah.

TRAVIS: A neodymium magnet is a magnet

that's made out of neodymium, iron and boron

and is a really powerful magnet.

But when Erik opens up this case,

and he shows us this magnet,

I'm looking at this thinking,

"What does this have to do with not digging on the ranch?"

ERIK: This object gives us a way

to reproduce some of the effects that we've seen

on the property, ongoing.

How did you reproduce the effect?

I can actually show it to you.

-Okay. -Now, these guys have seen it,

but if you'd like, we can go in.

-Yeah. No, I'd love to see that. -I'll do a quick demo. -Yeah, let's do that. -Sure.

ERIK: So, guys,

what you see right there, that's actually a still shot

from a video that I made

the first time I came to this ranch.

-TRAVIS: From your phone? -From the phone.

ERIK: When I went to the top of the mesa,

I was getting artifact like this.

It was when we got down to Homestead 2,

it finally cleared up and I was able to take a normal picture.

So, the question I have is, well, what would it take

to make that happen?

-Right. -Can I reproduce that effect?

Hm-hmm.

Before I came to Skinwalker Ranch,

I'd heard that in addition to UFO sightings

and animal mutilations, there were also a lot

of strange electrical phenomena,

like cell phones and electronics

that just suddenly wouldn't work.

Down here on the countertop, what I've got

is a second magnet.

This fixture lets us do this

in a little more controlled fashion.

-We're gonna watch the effect... -All right. -...show up on this-this phone. -I got it. Let's do it.

-All right. -(clears throat)

All right, now, look, you're gonna go through a position.

I hold it at the position...

-ERIK: Right. Yeah. -Oh.

-TRAVIS: Uh, that's right. Right there. -SEGALA: There you go.

-There it is. -ERIK: Right there.

So I can make it happen.

-Very cool, Erik. -TRAVIS: I'll tell you what,

I'm-a hold the phone, Erik. You move the magnet.

ERIK: And so what I'm seeing is that

when I go through a certain point, I'll get the effect.

Well, that's interesting.

Now I'm curious to find out

where Eric is going with all this.

Now, does he think there's some giant magnet buried

under the ground that's causing some of these strange phenomena?

Is that why he and the other guys are afraid to dig?

Pretty interesting, right?

-Yeah, every interesting. -TRAVIS: It's interesting.

Not exactly sure what it all means just yet.

ERIK: Yeah.

And what has given me pause

is whatever is generating the malfunction on our devices

is related to your injury and to the other

unpleasant experiences that people have had

on this property.

THOMAS: A couple of years ago,

I had been warned not to dig on this ranch,

which I thought was absolutely ridiculous.

So I paid zero attention to i,

and ended up getting very, very sick, hospitalized.

I had fluid that separated the fatty tissue from my skull.

And to this day, my doctors

still haven't come up with an explanation.

So, I'll tell you, I applaud that you've looked for something

that you can do in a controlled manner

and reproduce something that you've seen.

Now here's the thing,

I've yet to hear anything tell me

that this magnetic field thing is a reason not to dig.

So, I think we have not ruled out the possibility

that we have something active

beneath the surface of this property.

We have some evidence, at least, to support the idea

that there may be a magnetic field-generating device

or devices or something,

located on or beneath this property, or perhaps above it.

So, until we have done all the noninvasive work,

I don't think we're ready to start digging.

That's more my mind-set.

There's no data that's been on the table

that tells us digging is correlated

to anything that causes events.

But a lot of the things bad happen more often when you dig.

-Look, we're just trying to do the best that we can out here. -No, I get it.

And without getting people hurt.

I-- Hey, I appreciate that.

I think we're all closer to the same point than we realize.

Uh, Erik, if we set out and we do all of these different tests

and use those to guide us as to a point that we could dig,

would you feel comfortable with that?

-I think that's the approach that I'm advocating. -TRAVIS: Sure.

I-I like that. Let's...

ERIK: Yeah, I'm confident.

When we've exhausted all the options,

the noninvasive options.

We've talked about it enough.

I mean, w-- let's figure out what we're doing.

What is our first step? What are we gonna do, like, tomorrow?

-Okay. -That's fair enough.

I think the first thing that's got to be done,

just from a safety standpoint, is we need some experts

to come in here to do a full sweep of the ranch for safety.

Measure radiological and RF and microwaves on the whole ranch.

Let's make sure that it's safe just to be here;

-we're not getting slow cooked or something. -Yeah, we can do that.

You know, we've got people that can come to the ranch,

do a full sweep of radio frequency radiation tomorrow.

-That sounds great to me. What do you guys think? -(murmured agreement)

-Well, let's go, let's do it. -Yeah.

Okay.

TRAVIS: So, how many people actually have

access to the ranch?

-Very few. -Oh.

We do our very best to try to keep

the integrity of the science that's going on here.

So, actually, today,

they got the team out there doing the radiation sweep

-and the RF sweep. -Oh, good. Good.

Following our discussion in the command center yesterday,

we invited two different companies up to the ranch.

The first will look for dangerous levels of radiation

and the second will look for microwaves.

Now, if everything checks out, then we'll be safe

to conduct some more focused experiments

and find out where the strange electromagnetic energy

on the ranch is coming from.

THOMAS: We're gonna continue to head across the ranch.

You can see the old building.

This is what we call Homestead 2.

There are specific places on the ranch

where I've even personally witnessed some shadow figures.

(whispering voices)

I've heard voices on multiple occasions.

I've had individuals with me that heard the voices, too.

The interesting thing is I have no idea

whether it's an actual audible voice

or something that's playing out in my head.

It was as if someone was standing

right in front of me, talking to me,

telling me to either stop what I was doing or to leave.

Now, is this all Indian reservation

part of the ranch here or is this part of the other property?

Ute tribe is just right up on top of this hill right here.

TRAVIS: Oh, okay.

THOMAS: The fascinating thing is there's

a lot of Native Americans that, to this day,

they tell us that they look to the east,

they won't even acknowledge that the ranch exists.

That's strange.

The Utes and the Navajos actually have

quite a storied past.

They originally started off as allies and trading partners

and then as generations went on,

relationships started to become strained.

So much so that when the U.S. government sent soldiers out to the Southwest

to protect the white settlers from the Navajo tribe,

the Ute tribe joined forces with the soldiers.

And as retribution, the Navajos actually cursed this land

with evil spirits known as skinwalkers, which are evil entities

that can take many different forms and shapes.

TRAVIS: So, where's the north border

on the other side of the mesa, how far does it go?

Just to about that back cliff over there.

-TRAVIS: Oh, really? -Yeah, just short of it. TRAVIS: Huh.

It looks different from the...

BRYANT (over radio): Hey, Thomas. Do you copy?

Yeah, Bryant. Go ahead.

BRYANT (over radio): Yeah, we're up in the sinkhole doing this radiation sweep.

You guys should get just straight over here.

We found some crazy stuff you're gonna want to see.

BRYANT (over walkie): You guys should get just straight over here.

We found some stuff you're gonna want to see.

TRAVIS: While Tom Winterton and I are taking a tour of the ranch,

we get this emergency call and it's from the team

that's up on the mesa scanning for harmful levels

of radiation and microwaves.

THOMAS: All right,

we will head straight over there. You'll see us soon.

TRAVIS: My first thought was whether or not the guys were getting

the kinds of crazy readings we measured yesterday

when we were up on the mesa.

(devices whirring)

I mean, that's a significant amount of energy right there.

We found electromagnetic radiation

that could be harmful to humans.

Oh! And it's shifted now.

Now it's coming from that direction.

-And it's all radiation. -TRAVIS: Yes. Yeah.

-I see them standing up there. -THOMAS: Oh, you see them up there?

-TRAVIS: Yeah. -THOMAS: We got to walk from here on up.

TRAVIS: Yeah, okay.

Hey, guys.

The sinkhole is right over here. Obviously, Thomas knows.

These guys picked up stuff I thought

you guys would be interested in seeing yourselves.

TRAVIS: Wow. Look at that.

-Hey, guys. -There's Jim down there.

-How far does it go? -It goes down.

SNOWDER: Quite a ways.

TRAVIS: We get up there and there's a hole in the ground.

It's kind of like a little cave, and it's big enough

for three or four people to get down in.

This one is interesting just because

-air flows out of it and things like that. -Yeah, you can feel it.

THOMAS: We've had a few people

that have climbed down in that hole

and experienced some pretty extreme

vertigo and nauseousness.

The sinkhole is a spot

that I found one day when I was hiking up above Homestead 2

and the thing that made it remarkable

the first time I found it was

there is a cavity that continues down.

We've been trying to figure out how far down there it goes,

and it was just blasting cold air,

just like an air conditioner.

Myself, as well as, uh, several other individuals that

I was there to witness have had experiences

when we climbed down inside that hole.

You know, I kind of shrugged it off as heat stroke at the time,

but then, other individuals that we've taken up there

since then have experienced the same thing.

BRYANT: Jeff is with Semper, and he's measuring

radio wave frequencies and things like that.

Travis and Casey are with Qal-Tek.

They're doing a full radiation sweep.

-All right. -We're also, while we're in there, looking for

V.O.C.s, uh, and other chemicals.

Such as?

Such as nerve agents or toxic chemicals.

-Okay. -And we actually got a really

high hit, uh, on our V.O.C. levels,

about 3,600 parts per billion,

which is a really high abnormality.

-Dangerous level or just high? -Dangerous levels, certainly.

Uh, it was a real quick hit. It was, it was almost as if

there was a ventilation that plumed.

We got a reading off of that and then,

-um... -It disappeared.

-It disappeared. -Really?

-Yep. -That-that's intriguing.

There are all sorts of volatile organic compounds

like, uh, formaldehyde, uh, benzene,

but this sinkhole is pretty far away from anything man-made,

so their presence here is really strange.

SEGALA: The V.O.C. level,

I thought that was significant, 3,700 parts per billion,

-that's... -It was very concerning.

TRAVIS: Well, let me ask you this:

Did you take the RF meter down inside?

I haven't been down in there yet.

'Cause it'd be interesting to see if you're

getting anything in there, RF-wise.

What if I go down in there with you?

You guys think it's safe to go down in there, right?

I mean, it wasn't-- it was transient, right?

We'll keep an air monitor with you

so we can make sure there isn't any

air displacement, oxygen displacement.

All right. Well, let's go down in there and see.

Do you want to send in the O2 sensor first?

Makes the most safety sense.

I think that's just-- that's smart.

I like not dying.

I'll jump in and make sure O2 sensors levels are good.

I like having the air quality sensor in there first.

For sure.

(device whirring)

All right, we got normal levels here, so you're good.

All right, bring it on in.

I'll take measurements if you call them up to me.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know if anyone brought a flashlight, you can see.

You got one?

Your phone will work. That's what they're made for, right?

Oh, wow. You know, there's no telling

how far that thing goes down in there.

JEFF: If anything coming out of there...

TRAVIS: Yeah, you're gonna get it, right?

JEFF: Yep, that's right.

I did see a spike.

An instantaneous spike at around

one two, four, zero, let's call it.

I'm seeing only background levels here,

but when I put the antenna down by the hole,

I clearly see some spikes forming.

-I've got some peaks showing. -You sure do.

-Yeah. -So, right at the opening?

Right at the opening, when I put the antenna down in there.

Okay, Erik, we're on preset number two.

Let me, let me ask a question real quick, guys.

Do any of y'all feel swimmy-headed at all?

SNOWDER: No, you good?

ERIK: You feeling it?

I don't know.

Slightly, I felt like I was not holding my balance well

for a second there. That's why I put my hand over on the rock.

And I'm feeling it now, too.

-Any change in the oxygen level? -Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

-No, it's consistent. -ERIK: Sure.

TRAVIS: It's weird, it feels weird.

Yeah, m-my knees are starting to,

actually kind of starting to tremble.

I'm-I'm feeling kind of shaky.

That's not all right.

TRAVIS: Guys, do any of y'all feel swimmy-headed at all?

So while we're up on the mesa scanning for radiation...

Yeah, m-my knees are starting to tremble.

...my body starts reacting to something,

and I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

Are we safe to continue?

I am gonna crawl out, just in case

I'm not, you know, for a second.

'Cause I'm-I'm feeling kind of shaky, it's weird.

Watch your head.

That was weird.

I mean, I-I feel like

I just worked out and I didn't eat before.

You know, feels weird.

BRYANT: Are any of you other guys feeling anything

-bad down there at all? -SNOWDER: No.

I just felt like I was gonna bonk.

Dude, I will tell you my phone battery just went...

(blows raspberry)

-Your battery's dead on your phone? -TRAVIS: Yeah.

-Huh. -TRAVIS: Your battery's dead, too, ain't it?

It shut off.

TRAVIS: Clearly, something

is in that hole that-that made me have a weird, you know, like,

low blood sugar feeling, and I, uh, I don't know what it was.

ERIK: We have what we believe to be safe practices here,

but there are no guarantees here,

and no one knows that better then Tom.

TRAVIS: You guys got all the measurements

that y'all were planning to take up here, right?

We got a good surveillance of the entire ranch at this point.

We get back down to the truck, we can dive into our results,

take a little deeper look at that,

and then, uh, we can get some further analysis

and try to look at some deeper details.

Let's-let's go look at that.

-I'm-I'm good for that. -Sounds good to me.

Everyone be safe going down.

TRAVIS: I'm convinced that whatever came over me

while I was down in that cave had nothing to do

with oxygen deprivation or toxic gas levels.

Our oxygen meter was indicating there was plenty of air,

but then, all of a sudden,

the batteries in our cell phones go dead.

Boom. Just like that.

SNOWDER: We've seen some stuff that we expected to see,

some stuff that we didn't expect to see.

Our concern seems to be around these underground emissions,

that's where we're seeing the most of these phenomenons.

I want to tell you we're-we're still gonna be looking

-for more holes to crawl into and more things... -Sure.

...to dig into and look under

and-and-and it's possible we'll uncover

something that's dangerous.

-Right? -Correct.

SNOWDER: In some of the confined spaces,

those are areas you might want to be

aware of when you're working in those areas,

but in the open area and-and the ranch and so forth,

uh, nothing of concern.

It's okay to walk around out here, we're not getting cooked,

but we might find some weird transient things.

-Absolutely. -And in that hole,

-there's something that we can't explain yet? -Right.

So, in summary on the radiation exposure

is one of the things we haven't figured out

across the entire ranch, and we don't know this,

um, is the exact levels of that.

So we brought something for your guys's team

that'll kind of watch you guys on an individual level.

This is a dosimeter.

This is gonna primarily work from a radiological perspective.

If you're getting above the normal

background radiation exposure, we want to know.

It's looking for stuff that you are,

immediately, your body is in.

So anything that's

really in the window of harmful to humans,

or impactful to humans,

our instrumentation sets will see.

Okay, guys, so we'll hand these out to you guys.

-Travis, there's yours. -Thank you, man. Thank you.

-Erik, here's yours. -TRAVIS: These dosimeters

will work like a canary in a coal mine.

They're gonna be very helpful in alerting us if we run into

any more sudden bursts of harmful radiation.

We'll lead you out and escort you off the ranch. Thank you again. Appreciate all your time.

-We'll pack up our stuff and we will be ready to roll. -Okay, sounds great.

THOMAS: Well, here we are, your second time on,

day two and we're already experiencing more crazy stuff.

Crazy, I was not expecting that at all.

I got sick and I felt weird and-and lightheaded and dizzy.

The ranch has always responded, uh, to new visitors.

I didn't expect it to be this quick, though.

I didn't expect to see anything, so this is amazing.

- (chuckles) Doesn't surprise me, though.

I mean, you know, where the sinkhole sits

is right up above Homestead 2,

which has been the reported site of a lot

of this paranormal activity that Bigelow's team reported.

TRAVIS: Oh.

In 2016,

I purchased Skinwalker Ranch from Robert Bigelow.

Robert Bigelow is best known as the billionaire entrepreneur,

real estate developer and now aerospace entrepreneur.

Mr. Bigelow also had an interest

in everything from UFOs

to the paranormal.

In the early '90s,

Robert Bigelow bought Skinwalker Ranch.

His team conducted

a very aggressive scientific investigation.

The Bigelow team ended up

having all sorts of strange things happen.

They started seeing everything from

electromagnetic anomalies

centered around the old homesteads,

cattle mutilations...

It involves the full gamut

of unexplained phenomena that we continue to monitor.

Most of what Mr. Bigelow and his team

studied and reported on the ranch

remains either classified or confidential

and is locked away.

You guys got everything?

-TRAVIS: Yep. -All right.

If we don't, it's a long way back.

-(laughter) -TRAVIS: Later that day,

after we got the "all clear"

that the ranch was safe to explore...

Dragon, I guess I'll ride with you.

...Dragon, Jim Segala, Tom Winterton and I

decided to do a good old-fashioned

stakeout near the mesa.

From what I've observed, the mesa is pretty much

ground zero for most of the strange activity

that's been happening on the ranch.

So we're all hoping that, by staying up all night,

we'll be able to see and record firsthand

the strange lights and glowing effects

that people have reported seeing over the years.

This a good as spot as any.

This is perfect-- we see the mesa,

the moon's gonna be giving us some backlighting.

Let's start grabbing stuff out and putting it up.

Let's start hooking up the experiments.

I want the telescope up.

Get the sound system set up.

We have a lot of diagnostic equipment.

We can measure radio and microwaves,

we can measure magnetic field,

we can measure infrared.

We've got a lot of different things

that we're going to use tonight

and, uh, see what we can find out.

Hey, what movie are we watching?

Aliens? Predator? What?

We're gonna hook the cameras up to it,

so we can look at it on the big screen.

Cool.

THOMAS: So, the 512 acres of the ranch

are under 24-hour video surveillance

by dozens of security and surveillance cameras,

and Erik keeps track of these around the clock and is able

to view them from the command center.

Hey, Erik. Are you there?

ERIK: Copy, yeah.

Okay, so you can see us, then?

I can see everything you're doing.

TRAVIS: Erik Bard makes sure that pretty much

every inch of this ranch is covered by a camera somewhere.

Although he can pretty much se

everything we're doing tonight from the command center,

he won't be able to get the kind of close-up images

and information we can get.

And he certainly wouldn't be able to investigate it

as quickly as we can.

(insects trilling)

TRAVIS: Let's bring the lights down now.

And let's start looking at the mesa in the infrared.

That is so cool.

BRYANT: That is really cool.

TRAVIS: As humans, we're only able to see light

in a relatively narrow spectrum.

But by using an infrared camera,

we're gonna be able to see things

that are further out on that spectrum

that we otherwise might not be able to see

with our naked eyes.

-That's amazing. -Isn't that awesome?

-That's-that's a good view right there. Look at that. -Wow.

BRYANT: Yeah, that's really good view.

Hey, Jim's got the laser.

-There we are. -SEGALA: So, I'm gonna go

walk out here with the laser.

TRAVIS: Yep. Yep.

-SEGALA: You ready? -Yep.

SEGALA: We brought a very large

green laser that allows us to

light up a beam all the way up to the mesa.

You can put the laser spot right there,

then I'll look right at the spot. SEGALA: I'll come out here so I don't hurt anybody.

That way, we can focus our infrared cameras

on that spot so we know exactly where we are.

Perfect. Right there.

THOMAS: There it is.

TRAVIS: Hold on. Is that...? There's two.

Look.

Do that again.

THOMAS: How is it doing that?

SEGALA: When we shined

the laser on the mesa and saw it

in the image of the camera,

we also noticed there was a smaller image just above it.

TRAVIS: That is so weird.

-SEGALA: What the heck is that? -TRAVIS: You know what it is, it's reflecting off of the surface.

THOMAS: How is it doing that?

THOMAS: How is it doing that?

TRAVIS: We're pointing a laser toward the mesa,

where we've been detecting the abnormal amounts of radiation,

but now, instead of seeing one laser spot like we should,

we're seeing two.

The actual laser spot that is coming back

and hitting the camera is the little one.

We need to go up there and look at it. - Hey, Erik, do you copy?

-I do. -You interested in going

up on the mesa,

while these guys sit back and monitor it?

You bet.

Well, let's go get Erik and let's head up there.

BRYANT: You ready, man?

ERIK: Yep, let's do it.

BRYANT: Okay, let's go.

TRAVIS: Gotta turn my headlamp on.

All right, let's go.

♪

TRAVIS: It's like walking on Mars or something.

The rocks and the soil of the Skinwalker Ridge mesa

have an extremely high amount

of some kind of crystalline material.

So I'm wondering

if there's a reflection happening up on the mesa

that's causing the laser beam

to split into two points of light instead of one.

There are these little white disks everywhere.

I don't know what it is.

You are getting pretty close to that laser.

You'll have to start making a descent.

TRAVIS: I'm gonna turn and sit right here.

All right?

And now I am going to kill this light.

All right.

BRYANT: Does the laser seem like it lost intensity?

TRAVIS: The laser's lost power.

Whoa, where'd that laser go?

TRAVIS: And it went out.

ERIK: And it went out, just now.

TRAVIS: Radio back to them and ask 'em

if they're doing something to the laser.

Hey, Travis?

TRAVIS: Yeah, go ahead, Jim.

So, we're-- before the light went out,

the laser light went out,

-you were standing exactly where

the main glow of the laser was

on the screen.

TRAVIS: Really?

SEGALA: That's correct.

I'll go back up there

-and see what's going on. -Hold on, guys.

THOMAS: I just replaced the batteries in this laser.

There's no way that it's the batteries

that are causing it to malfunction.

I tried everything

to get it to come back on again,

but it's just one of those million things

that happens at Skinwalker Ranch.

The button's pushed in and everything.

It-It's dead.

SEGALA: Hey, Travis?

Yeah. Go ahead, Jim.

SEGALA: The laser is dead.

TRAVIS: I think it's crazy

that as soon as we got here,

the laser went out.

Hardly the first time something like that's happened here.

Unfortunately, it's typical.

TRAVIS: All right, guys.

I think we've seen enough here.

BRYANT: Let's carefully make our way back down the ridge.

Carefully.

TRAVIS: The laser experiment was inconclusive,

but what we did discover with this experiment

is that the mesa is highly reflective.

Now, that's interesting,

especially since we've seen in the past

the mesa seeming to glow

and there being beams of light coming up from the mesa.

There's something to this place,

I just don't know what it is.

Whoa, look at that.

Holy crap.

What is that?

That reflective flickering.

THOMAS: Hey, guys, we just noticed

on the screen here a second ago.

Do you see the glow? The flicker?

Up behind there.

TRAVIS: Yeah.

It's flickering.

Kind of flashing behind it or something.

What does it look like on infrared?

TRAVIS: It looks like the whole top of the mountain is glowing.

BRYANT: Yeah, it's almost like the outline of it.

TRAVIS: Wow.

I mean, it's clearly doing something.

It kind of looks like, uh, the...

(low growling)

Did you hear that?

(low growling)

Yeah.

Like a growl or something.

Yeah.

It was right over there.

Right?

TRAVIS: Being out here in the wilderness, it's not unusual

to hear growls and strange noises and stuff.

It could be from a mountain lion

or a coyote or even a pack of wild dogs.

Look, the top looks less like a silhouette now

than it did before.

It's-it's right here, right?

- Yeah.

TRAVIS: Till I came to the ranch,

I didn't really believe the stories I'd heard

about strange lights coming off the mesa.

Now I'm seeing this thing glow at night with my own eyes.

This isn't just a story, this isn't some special effect or a hoax.

This mesa is really glowing.

You know what we should do,

is we should scan across the mesa

and see if we see something else

with the, with the camera.

- Well, we better hurry, 'cause the sun's gonna be up soon. - The sun is coming up soon.

Yeah, all right.

Well, let's do that.

Let's go... pan to the west first.

BRYANT: Look at that.

THOMAS: See how the top of that's... TRAVIS: Yeah, the top's glowing like crazy. Look at that.

BRYANT: It's like the whole top of the ridge is outlined in chalk. -Wait, wait, wait, wait.

-All right. -So...

TRAVIS: Look, it's flashing. Look, it is flashing

behind that big-time.

That cloud is pulsing like crazy.

Look at that.

The interesting thing is

is it almost looks like it's a lot more defined here

-than it is with the naked eye. -TRAVIS: Yeah. Oh!

Look, look.

Did you see that?

THOMAS: That's a definite beam. Whoa.

It was like a beam that came right up from the ground.

THOMAS: It's gone now.

TRAVIS: Did you guys see that?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Did you see that?

-Jim, you weren't looking. -BRYANT: Look, there it is again.

THOMAS: Oh, there it is.

TRAVIS: We're looking back and forth at the infrared camera

and then back and forth at the mesa

to see what's going on and then we notice out of the ground,

in front of the mesa, this beam comes up

through the sky and tracks something.

-There it is! -There it is again.

It is clearly a beam going across there.

There is something clearly over the ridge.

BRYANT: Do you think that's coming from behind?

THOMAS: What is that?

-THOMAS: There it is! -TRAVIS: There it is again!

It is clearly a beam going across there.

-That time, did you see it sweep? -Well,

and you can't see anything from looking out of here.

It's only in infrared.

TRAVIS: So, we're out here on the mesa,

investigating the strange lights and the glowing effects

that other people have been reporting over the years.

What's interesting is that we can't see these light beams

when we look at the mesa with our naked eyes.

We can only see them with the infrared camera.

We should be looking in that direction

to see what we can come up with.

Right now while something's happening.

BRYANT: What are we doing with this?

SEGALA: What we're attempting to do

is measure electromagnetic energy or frequencies.

And what this board will allow us to do

is to isolate to one single direction or one plane.

TRAVIS: We need to find out if the glowing effect we can see

on the infrared monitor is connected to any kind of RF--

or radio frequency-- radiation.

This experiment will help us determine the direction

of the radiation that we're detecting now

and maybe help us find the direction of the source.

All right, so I would say we hold it up about waist-high.

Right about-- that's good.

-Now, Jim, there you go. -Here.

All right.

Sweep. There you go, good.

And keep sweeping-- it starts dropping off.

-Right? -(meter whining)

TRAVIS: The TriField meters are little RF radios

with a little antenna

just like your FM and AM radio in your car

or at home or wherever. It's a tuner.

Yep, it's dropping, so it's not coming from that direction.

So, let's go the other way.

Rotate the other way now.

TRAVIS: And this thing is set to listen

to, like, all the channels at once

and just measure the signal.

It's coming from right at where we saw that flash.

Keep coming around.

All right, now it's dropped off again.

TRAVIS: The interesting thing is

when we pointed the RF meter in a certain direction

with the reflector behind it,

it maxed out.

That tells us kind of the direction

the big fields are coming from.

I mean, it's coming from that direction

where we saw that beam.

That's pretty significant right there.

Well, it's at least concerning.

We're measuring nearly ten milliwatts per meter squared.

TRAVIS: The microwave spikes that we're reading

are getting on the level of

standing by the microwave a few feet with the door open,

but it's still working.

That's dangerous levels.

Yeah, what was that beam that we saw?

TRAVIS: What was that beam?

There is something here,

on this ranch,

that's broadcasting microwaves and at times,

reached powers that's like a microwave oven.

And it's not Wi-Fi, it's not...

-normal transmission. -TRAVIS: It's not cell phones,

it's not-- yeah, it's-it's something different.

All of this is real unusual.

That's... To me, it's amazing.

(Thomas exhales)

TRAVIS: Tom, you all right?

THOMAS: My head is killing me.

-BRYANT: Is it? -Yeah, right-right here.

-BRYANT: In that spot? -In the exact same spot, my head is-is hurting bad.

SEGALA: Here, sit down.

THOMAS: It just-- it just, it's just right here, like,

it's right-right here.

BRYANT: That's not all right.

It's just throbbing.

-Like, that section right there. -Is that-- is that the--

is that the pain?

SEGALA: That's the exact same spot.

THOMAS: No, it's not the same pain I felt,

-but it's, like, throbbing bad. -It's the same spot, though.

Well, let's get you the heck out of here, man.

I'm serious.

-Right now. -Yep, yep, yep.

BRYANT: Come on, dude.

-Let's go. -Come on.

THOMAS: Damn it.

BRYANT: That's nothing to (bleep) with.

TRAVIS: I'm extremely worried about Thomas right now.

I have no idea how serious this injury could be.

SEGALA: So, I wonder if anybody else got affected.

TRAVIS: I don't know.

They almost lost Thomas once out here before I got here

and now I get here and we do an experiment.

I would hate to think that I did something that put him

in harm's way.

SEGALA: Uh, this is serious, you know?

TRAVIS: Yeah. I was not expecting to get that right at the end of the night.

SEGALA: This could be life-threatening.

TRAVIS: He should... he should go to the emergency room, I think.

THOMAS: Just over a little bit, like, right-right there.

-TRAVIS: Dragon? Tom? Where are you? -BRYANT: Yeah.

He's in here.

THOMAS: Right there.

Um, sorry it looks a little bit...

THOMAS: Does it seem like it's swelled up any?

- Little bit. Yeah.

It's a knot?

So, when-- out there, it was right here,

and now it's just right here.

SEGALA: Yep, there is,

there is that same fluid from last time.

Dude, you need to go get that checked right now.

I'm serious.

Like, right now.

SEGALA: I think you should call your wife.

TRAVIS: He needs to be in the car, right now,

on the way to the emergency room.

TRAVIS: We're not playing a game here.

This happened, we saw phenomena

and the same symptoms are occurring

when it put him in the hospital for a week,

and there's no reason for us to talk about it any further.

(engine starts)

It's bizarre. I don't know what to say about it. Bizarre.

Bizarre is not the word. It's scary.

I think I should probably call Brandon.

(line ringing)

- Dragon.

BRYANT: Hey, Brandon.

So, I've got Erik here with me.

It's kind of an urgent matter I wanted to talk to you about real quick.

- Yeah? - So, as you know,

we had the team out last night.

We were finishing up our last experiment,

and we started picking up really heavy RF signals

and things like that like we have previously.

- Yeah? - And, uh, all of the sudden,

Tom Winterton...

started saying that he had a headache

and then reached back to the spot on the back of his head

where he previously had his serious injury

and said that he was having pain there again.

- Oh, my gosh!

I mean, it was apparent that we really couldn't risk things.

So, Kaleb actually grabbed him

and drove him to the emergency room to have more testing.

- Ugh. I can't believe that Tom's in the emergency room.

Yeah, dude, it has me rattled as (bleep).

- This is really troubling.

ERIK: I think it is.

I want to understand what's going on but not at the expense

of more episodes like this.

I don't know that we did anything that would trigger it.

We shined lights on the damn mesa, we did nothing... -Yeah. -...that would do it.

That's what kills me, Brandon. I-I'm armed to the teeth and I feel like I might as well be carrying a flyswatter.

I don't-- I mean, it's-it's beyond frustrating to me.

- Right. - All I know is that people are getting hurt and we've got to figure out

why the hell that is happening.

- I agree. I agree. Erik, Dragon, I need to get out there immediately. Let's pull everyone together.

I think that's a good idea.

- Keep me posted. Thank you. - I will. See you.

BRANDON: What we've learned at Skinwalker Ranch

is if you don't approach the ranch

with a degree of humility and reverence and care,

bad things happen.

ERIK: Did what happened to Tom happen

as a result of an experiment?

I think the right strategy

is to observe better.

BRYANT: The fact that Thomas has suffered another injury

related to the one that almost took his life,

it makes me put in question

if any of us should even be here anymore.

TRAVIS: Before I came here to Skinwalker Ranch,

I really didn't believe the stories I'd heard.

UFOs, cattle mutilations,

shape-shifting animals...

It all seemed too bizarre.

But now that I've been here and seen things firsthand,

I can't shake the feeling that something very strange

really is happening here.

What's causing it?

Where is it coming from?

I don't know.

But the bigger question is this: is it dangerous?

It's making me think:

are we putting ourselves at risk just being here?

BRANDON: I wanted to get out here as soon as I could.

Lights on the mesa,

Tom's injuries-- these things are real.

BRYANT: Something's caused so much interference

that a $35,000 drone couldn't connect to its controls.

It means there's a transmitter here somewhere.

Where is this transmitter?

I get my biggest readings looking up.

TRAVIS: It's coming from the sky.

TOM: In the basement, there's a weird room.

What is that?

We need to see what's really in there.

ERIK: It could be human remains.
