-We've got metal.
-Hey! -Oh, okay.

I think the right thing
for us to do is

to get this material into a more
powerful microscope in a lab.

That could tell us
what elements these are made of.

-Fantastic.
-I've got some movement

on a light source
near Homestead Three.

[Thomas] Kaleb and I are
going to go check it out.

[Royston] Approaching
Homestead Three with the drone.

[Thomas] There is no signs
of any human presence.

[Pete] Look at the heat
coming out of the homestead.

It's like somebody's got
a furnace on.

What in the world?

-[Erik] So watch
what happens here. -Oh.

[Erik] Clearly,
we've got a light source.

-And you can see the movement.
-Wow.

The question is,
do we have someone

or something moving
through that area?

[Royston] And if that's not
a person we're seeing,

-what's out there?
-I don't know what that is.

[Narrator] There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing occurrences on Earth.

For two decades,

the federal government

investigated the property.

Their findings
have never been made public.

[Travis] Right there!
We got something!

[Narrator] Now a new team

of independent scientists
and researchers are taking over.

They are uncovering evidence

that the countless stories...

It came right out of the mesa.

...of unidentified
aerial phenomena...

-UAP right there!
-Yep.

...bizarre energies...

It looks like there's
a heat source right above 'em.

...and portals that lead
to other dimensions...

We're maybe looking
at the anomaly

for the first time, guys.

...might actually be true.

They will stop at nothing
to reveal...

...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.

[Erik] Tammy.

-Nice to see you.
-Good to see you again.

[Travis] Today, Erik, Jim,
Thomas and Chris are returning

to Utah Valley University

to run new lab tests
on all the strange materials

we found in the mesa
on Skinwalker Ranch.

We're going to head
into the chemistry lab

-over here today.
-All right.

-Hi, Brian.
-Good morning, gentlemen.

-Welcome back.
-[Erik] Dr. Patchett,

-good to see you again.
-Good to see you.

[Travis] We're pretty
frustrated

that our vertical drilling
operation this year

didn't solve the mystery
of the huge object

and the smaller anomalies
that we've detected with GPR

and even hit
while drilling in the past.

But we did bring up
more metal fragments

from about 60 to 70 feet deep

that have no business
being inside solid sandstone.

And then we've got the Type A
and Type B ceramic materials

that were extracted last year
at different depths.

We've only been able
to test Type A so far,

but the results suggested

they could be related
to spacecraft technology.

We've got a new member
of our team here

for the first time,
Chris Roberts.

-Chris.
-This is the gentleman

responsible for the samples

that we brought in to date.

[Travis] So we're hoping
that Dr. Clark and Dr. Patchett

can help us learn more
about all of this stuff

and what it could mean
about what's buried in the mesa.

So I understand
that we have the opportunity

to use a technique
called FTIR...

-Yep. -...in our analysis
of some of the materials.

Now, I haven't spent
a lot of time in a science lab,

so I'm not familiar
with these terms.

What's FTIR?
What does it mean

and what does it do?

FTIR is Fourier-transform
spectrophotometer.

And basically, it can tell us

if there's
a carbon-oxygen bond

or a carbon-hydrogen bond.

-What does that mean?
-[Chris] Well, it means

we could possibly date it.

[Tammy] With the FTIR,

we will take a beam

of infrared light,

and we will point it
at the sample.

This will help us determine what
kinds of bonds are in a sample.

If we see carbon-hydrogen bonds,

we might be able to use
the samples found at the ranch

for radiocarbon dating

to find out exactly
how old they might be.

So at headline level,
we're looking for insights

into how is this material made
and maybe when.

-Yes, when would be great.
-Okay.

Okay. All right.

Well, what do you say
we get some samples under test?

I was going to say,
we've got precious minutes

here at the lab.
Let's make use of them.

Yeah, let's make use of it.

That's fantastic. Well, I will
leave you guys with Dr. Clark.

-Right.
-[Travis] Earlier this year...

Guys, Chris has been looking

at the properties
of these materials

that we've brought out
of the mesa.

...Chris found organic buildup

on both types
of the possible ceramics,

which is caused by being buried
a very long time.

He estimated more
than a thousand years.

Now, if that's true,
it's crazy because they appear

to have been machine-made.

But when we recently had experts
from Artemis Labs in Colorado

analyze a sample of Type A,

they were unable to date it

and couldn't even
identify what it was.

So, Chris, which of the samples,
uh, will we begin with?

I'd like to start with Type A.

-Okay.
-And then we'll go to Type B.

Okay.

-So now we're ready to go
with the sample? -Yep.

I got to get this case open.

This is the Type A.

So that's a nice flat piece.

So we're just gonna...

bring that nice and snug.

-I'm in suspense.
-Okay.

Well, let's try it.
We'll see what happens.

You can see that we do have
little absorbances there.

They look like little peaks,
upside down peaks.

[Thomas] So that means
there is some carbon in it?

[Tammy] It could be.

So, would we estimate

that we have enough
carbon-dating information?

[Tammy] Yeah, it looks
like it does have

carbon-hydrogen bonds there.

So depending on the sensitivity
of that procedure,

-it should work.
-Mm-hmm. Wow.

[Travis] When Dr. Clark
told the guys that

the Type A sample might be able

to be carbon-dated,
that was pretty awesome news.

The only bummer is
that carbon-dating these samples

will need to be done elsewhere
and it'll take more time.

But at this point,
we're happy with anything

that feels like progress.

I feel like we should look
at another sample

-while we have the opportunity.
-Yeah, while we can.

[Chris] It's right here.

This is the Type B.

Under a black light, it actually
seems to absorb light

so it goes darker
than it is there.

And this is the only piece
we have of this material.

[Tammy] Okay.
I will be very gentle with it.

I'm anxious.

-[overlapping exclamations]
-[Chris] What is that?

[Erik] That's not the same.

[Tammy] It's not absorbing
any infrared wavelength.

It's just reflecting the light.

[Erik] You said it's effectively
reflecting all the light back?

-[Tammy] Mm-hmm.
-So there's no carbon?

-Right, for... Yep.
-Interesting.

Can you bring up Type A

-for comparison?
-Yeah. Okay. Okay.

-[Royston] Whoa. Look at that.
-[Thomas] It's huge.

-Wow.
-[Erik] This is

qualitatively different.

[Thomas] Yeah, this doesn't look
anything like the same.

This proves that this is a--
definitely a different material?

-Yeah. Definitely.
-[Erik] All right, guys.

That piece of material
definitely goes into

the scanning
electron microscope.

-[Royston] Oh, yeah.
-Okay.

High priority. This was great.

-Yeah.
-[Tammy] Very interesting.

Thank you for doing
this analysis, Tammy.

-Thanks for coming out.
-Yeah. -Yeah.

-So, are we ready to head over
to the SEM? -[Erik] Yeah.

-Good.
-All right. -Okay.

[Erik] We need
to take these materials,

put them under the SEM.

I'd really like to understand

what the materials are
and do more elemental analysis

and elemental mapping.

-Dr. Patchett.
-Erik, hello.

[Erik] Because I feel
like there are a lot

of unanswered questions

after our first examination

of these ceramic-like samples.

Well, we've got
quite an ambitious agenda.

We've got a lot of samples
to look at.

So I think it's important that
we start with the Type A sample

and get that back on the stage

-into the instrument.
-Yeah.

I remember, last year it looked
like the ceramic was opening up,

physically,
and creating large voids in it.

Yeah.

[Travis] Are those holes
getting bigger?

[Erik] Yes. I think so.

[Travis] When we examined
the Type A sample

last year under the
scanning electron microscope,

we got some
pretty amazing results.

The beam of electrons
the device emits

to analyze the object

appeared to make holes open
on the sample's surface.

Let's turn it off to see
if it goes back to normal.

And even more crazy,
the holes looked like

they closed up after
we shut the electron beam off.

[Brandon] Look at that.

[Brian] This stuff
is fixing itself.

Yes. It's healing.
That's exactly right.

We want to see
if that'll happen again.

-Are we set to go?
-Yeah.

-I think so.
-Yeah.

All right,
so let's turn on our beam,

get a big-picture view
really quick.

Okay.

[Erik] The responsible thing
to do is to repeat the exercise

in the scanning electron
microscope on this Type A

ceramic-like material.

That will allow us
to confirm whether or not

the beam really is making
topological changes,

or if it was just an instrument
artifact in the machine.

[Brian] There we go.

[Erik] I can see
the cross-hatching.

-[Chris] Yeah.
-[Royston] Look at that.

Let's zoom in here.

[Erik] All right, you can tell
you've got charging already.

[Brian] Yeah.

[Erik] Okay, now,
notice also the difference.

Already you're seeing,

it takes on a very porous
appearance quickly.

[Brian] Yeah, this is all
effects we saw last year.

-Yep.
-[Erik] This just validates

that we're getting exactly
the same behavior qualitatively.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

I'm seeing the same contrast
changes that we saw last year.

Consistency is good,
and I'm more convinced than ever

that we are seeing
significant effects

of the electron beam
on the surface.

All right. Should we move on?

-Mm-hmm.
-[Erik] Yes, let's move on

-to the Type B sample.
-Yeah.

Now, the really
interesting question

is whether the Type B material

would be comparable to the Type
A changes that we saw last year.

-[Brian] It's a little dark.
-[Erik] Yeah.

You know what
I'm not seeing yet?

I'm not seeing any of those
conspicuous sort of openings.

[Brian] Yeah.
It doesn't seem to be changing.

Clearly, they are
different materials.

-Right.
-[Erik] Maybe they're from two

different buried objects?

[Brian] Clearly,
they are different

materials.

This is
the first sample surface.

[Erik] Maybe they're from
two different buried objects.

Yeah,
the two look very distinct.

Yeah, I agree.

[Erik] The behavior
of this Type B ceramic

under SEM analysis

is quite different
than the Type A ceramic.

We're not seeing any
of the changes

that we might have expected
to see

based on our previous results.

I think it's pretty clear,

we're dealing with materials
that are completely different.

But what are they doing
inside of the mesa?

[Royston] So this is one
we might look

-at elemental analysis on?
-[Brian] Yeah, we can do that

-right now.
-Yep.

[Erik] Let's start
with the Type B.

[Brian] Sure. We're going

to take a spectrum
of the elements

-that are on the surface.
-[Erik] Okay.

It's one thing to see
the physical differences

in these materials.

But we need
the elemental analysis

of this stuff
to make sure they truly are

different from one another.

[Brian] Okay.
So we're starting to see

there is some oxygen,

quite a bit of calcium,
some phosphorus,

and then trace amounts

of silicon, aluminum,
iron, sulfur, potassium,

and all these things are present
in the Earth's crust.

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

[Travis] Well, this isn't
the answer we hoped for,

but it might give us
the bottom line on Type B.

These are the exact elements
that make up the Earth's crust.

So Type B was likely made

from materials that naturally
occur in the mesa.

But what about Type A?

We still don't know who made it
or how they made it.

[Erik] Can we compare that
to the composition

of the Type A sample?

Yeah.

Yeah, let me zoom in here.

Okay. There is
a stronger magnesium

-that is multiple times higher.
-[Erik] Okay.

And a lot more aluminum
than iron.

-[Erik] Mm-hmm.
-[Brian] Yeah.

-[Erik] Mm-hmm.
-[Brian] Far less calcium.

They're significantly different
from each other.

Okay.

[Erik] This just makes me
more convinced

that we're looking
at engineered materials

-with Type A.
-Right.

[Erik] I think
the most important takeaway

from all the Type A materials
we found in the mesa

is that they were likely
manufactured by someone.

But who?
And for what purpose?

By continuing to study them,
we might

bring some kind of understanding

if not closure to the mystery
of this anomaly in the mesa.

I want to take a look

at that layered metal piece
that we found

-in the mesa this year.
-Yeah.

Yeah, it looks like
it was manufactured that way

-intentionally.
-[Brian] Okay.

[Travis] Ceramics in solid rock
is just plain weird.

And metal in solid rock
is even weirder, so,

if the metal is another part
of the object or objects

buried in the mesa,

maybe figuring out
what it's composed of is the key

to solving this whole mystery.

-Wow.
-So there's a stronger...

prevalence of iron
in this sample?

-Am I reading that right?
-Yeah.

[Erik] Can you zoom in
to get more precise data?

[Brian] Sure.

Yeah, so what did
I just see happen here?

-It just went dark.
-Lost, uh...

-We've lost the image.
-[Thomas] Yeah, it was on there,

-and then it just went black.
-[Erik] Yeah.

Um, I'm checking
the filament integrity,

uh, because in order
to produce an image, we need

a source of electrons. Uh...

-[beeping]
-Yeah.

We have just blown our filament.

This particular filament
was actually only

about halfway
through its lifespan,

according to the software.

-[Thomas] Is that a big repair?
-[Brian] Yes, it is.

Which means

we're dead in the water
until I can get that replaced.

Interesting.

The electron source, the
filament itself has burned out.

I don't know why
this has happened.

The timing couldn't be worse.

This is another one
of those situations

where things go exactly wrong
at exactly the wrong time.

Is it just a coincidence?

Do we assign special cause
to that? I don't know.

The good news is,
we've only made our way

through a small fraction
of the spoils

that have come out
of our recent drilling.

So by the time we come back,

there could be a lot more
of this material up there

to be collected and analyzed.

Dr. Patchett,
thanks again for the analysis.

It's always a pleasure
to have you guys on campus.

All right.
I think it's time to pack it up.

[Thomas] All right.

All right.

[Travis] So, I think this is
a pretty good spot, y'all.

I mean, we've got a good view
in here

-looking at Homestead Three.
-[Erik] Mm-hmm.

The following day,
we set up for a new experiment

at Homestead Three, located
near the western property line

of Skinwalker Ranch.

[Erik] I've not heard a lot
of history from this site.

But we do have
our own experience.

And we've seen lights out here
when we were doing experiments.

Homestead Three is one
of the abandoned

early 20th-century dwellings
on the ranch.

There's very little hard
documentation of the property,

but its previous owners,
the Locke family,

reported witnessing
all sorts of strange events

while living here,

from unexplained
cattle mutilations

to UAP sightings.

In 2016, just after Brandon
Fugal purchased the property,

he and Erik led a group
of scientific experts

and private security
on a tour of Homestead Three.

There,
a security guard was overcome

by something
that made him go catatonic.

He ended up being okay,
but over the past six years,

our team hasn't had
any other encounters there.

That is, until last week.

Thomas is starting
to pump smoke now.

We were several hundred yards
to the east at Homestead Two,

investigating
a recent UAP sighting

and possible
communication signals

that we detected
in one of the buildings.

[Erik] What is that
all the way over there?

[Travis] Suddenly,
Erik saw a strange light

on a surveillance camera
appear over Homestead Three.

When Jim Royston tried
to track it down

with his thermal drone,
the light disappeared.

But then we were all shocked

to see a massive heat anomaly
filling the main building.

[Pete] Oh, look at the heat

-coming out of the homestead.
-I know.

[Travis] It was like it was
on fire in the thermal camera.

But with the naked eye,

we couldn't see anything
in there.

So tonight we want to figure out
just what the heck that was.

What I was thinking is, kind of

repeat what we did at Homestead
Two with the laser grid.

Maybe put it in this window
on the north side?

-Mm-hmm.
-And the smoke

through the door?
Thomas, what do you think?

Yep.

[Travis] Just like
last week's experiment,

we're going to use lasers
to project a grid of light

inside of Homestead Three.

Then we'll fill the building
with smoke.

The lasers and smoke combined
will allow us

to look for anything
passing through the grid

that might be invisible
to the naked eye.

[Erik] Now, to add to that,

I'd like us to try something
between Homestead Two

and Homestead Three.
I'm convinced that there's

some kind of connection
between 'em.

So I want to try transmitting
a 1.2-gigahertz signal here

and see if it shows up
at Homestead Two.

All right, I say we get to it.

While the rest of the team
began setting up the laser grid,

Erik and I wanted
to run a little test

to see if there's a connection

between Homestead Three
and Homestead Two.

During last week's experiment,

after I broadcast
a 1.6-gigahertz signal,

something seemed
to clone the signal

and send it back to us
from inside Homestead Two.

Where's that signal coming from?

It was another case of something
unexplained cloning our signals.

So Erik will broadcast
a new test signal

at 1.2 gigahertz
from Homestead Three

for a few minutes
and then turn it off.

At that point,
Kaleb and I will be monitoring

our own spectrum analyzers
at Homestead Two

to see if something clones
that signal

and starts
broadcasting it again.

All right, we're good to go.

Hey, Erik. We're all set up here
at Homestead Two.

Yeah, copy that.

All right, let's see here.

I don't know
what's happening right there.

That's some kind
of 1.2-gigahertz signal.

See the peak right there.

Erik, did you just
turn on the signal generator

at 1.2 gigahertz?

No, Travis,

we haven't done that yet.

What in the world?

So where is this signal
coming from?

Ah, man, that's just weird.

[Travis] What in the world?

So where is this signal
coming from?

Look at it. It's just... I...

I don't know what's going on.

That's a pretty strong one.

[Travis] All right, man.
That signal went away.

-It's not there anymore.
-Huh.

[Travis] That was
the strangest thing.

Before Erik even had the chance
to broadcast his test signal

at 1.2 gigahertz
from Homestead Three,

I picked up that same frequency
for a few seconds

over at Homestead Two.

Before, we thought

something was cloning
the signals that we broadcast.

Now it's like
it's reading our minds

and beating us to the punch.

What in the world could do that?

That's really interesting.

I wonder what that was.

Ooh. Something weird
has happened

to this gamma ray detector.
Check this out.

[Kaleb] Is that, like,
damage to the screen?

[Travis] Yeah.
Something's fried it.

What the crap?

We always carry
gamma ray detectors

to look out for radiation
spikes on the ranch,

because they occasionally
appear out of nowhere.

Well, right after that
1.2-gigahertz signal showed up,

I suddenly noticed
that the screen

on my gamma ray detector
was busted

and the device was fried.

Was this caused
by whatever sent that signal?

That made me want to see
if Erik and I

could get something else
to happen

by broadcasting
his 1.2-gigahertz signal

from over at Homestead Three.

Hey, Erik. It's Travis.
You copy?

[Erik] Yeah, Travis.

Go ahead.

If you want to do a test on
that 1.2-gigahertz transmitter

from the table,
that would be good.

Yeah, Travis.

Let me turn that on. Stand by.

All right. You should
be seeing it. We've got it

on the spectrum analyzers here.

Hmm. Well...

-No.
-[Kaleb] Not seeing it.

[Travis] Nope, nothing.

I'm tuned up to 1.2,
but I'm not seeing any spikes.

[Erik] Are you seeing it
down there?

Negative.

I... As close as that is, we
shouldn't have any difficulty.

I mean, look,
I've picked that thing up

all the way from, you know,
a mile from here.

[Travis] There's only about

700 feet between Homestead
Two and Homestead Three.

Our range on spectrum analyzers
is several times that.

Let me double-check
the gain one more time.

So, was something blocking it
here at Homestead Two?

Or was it being blocked
by something

over at Homestead Three?

Or something in between?

[Erik] Travis, we've got
an idea down here at the table

that we want to give a try.
Um...

we're going to take
the transmitter your way.

All right, copy that.

I think
we ought to see how close

we have to get to your location
before you start picking it up.

With that high-gain antenna,

you should be seeing it
perfectly.

Yeah, well, we're watching,
so head our way.

[Thomas] Travis,

we're just about a quarter
of the way right now.

Are you seeing the signal yet?

I'm not seeing it
at all down here.

[Royston] That is strange.

[Thomas] I wonder
if they're still picking it up

over at Homestead Three.

Hey, Erik, are you still
seeing the signal?

[Erik] Strong as can be.

[Thomas] Copy that.
Well, we'll continue.

[Erik] All right.

[Royston] That makes no sense.

He literally has no antenna,
and he's picking us up fine.

Right. I'd say
we're more than halfway.

-Yeah.
-We are still transmitting,

and we're more than halfway

to you. I mean,
we're closer to you now

than we are the science tent.

[Travis] Keep walking
toward me, Thomas.

We got to figure this out.

That is just bizarre to me.

[Thomas] Travis, we're just
about to walk up on you now.

[Travis] Come on to us, Thomas.
I want to see if we can--

I mean, I don't even need
the walkie now.

-I can hear you.
-[Travis] I know.

If I can hear you, I should be
picking up that signal

like crazy.

[computer beeps]

-[Kaleb] What was that?
-[Travis] What was that?

[Thomas] You've got to be sh...

What was that signal?

[Travis] It's some kind
of weird signal.

[computer buzzes]

Wowie. What in the crap?

My computer's locking up on me.

I'm gonna restart this thing.

Something's going on here,

like with the gamma ray
detector earlier.

Thomas, can you and Jim go check
the dosimeter out back?

[Royston] Let's go out
and look.

[Travis] I wondered
if the same thing

that fried the gamma ray
detector is what caused

my computer to freeze up.
And if it was,

I wanted to see if our detector
out back could verify

that a strange spike
had indeed occurred.

[Royston] Showing anything?

[Thomas] It says
"dosimeter alarm." What's that?

[Royston] That means it spiked
if it went over threshold.

[Thomas] "Dosimeter mode
dose alarm."

-[Royston] Yeah.
-So it has spiked, then.

[Royston] Yep.
Now the readings are normal.

-[Thomas] All right.
-[Kaleb] It's like

-we got nuked by something.
-It was working--

Yeah, you guys did.

[Thomas] I don't know what

could be there
to account for that spike

on the instrument, but the fact
that the dosimeter showed

dangerously high counts of
gamma radiation is concerning.

We definitely need to find some
answers for what took place.

So, uh, we've got

-the dosimeter alarm going off.
-Really?

Well, it spiked

-enough to trigger the alarm.
-Yeah.

Makes me not even want
to be over here.

-[Royston] I know.
-[Travis] I know. Why don't we

get out of here and join the
others back at Homestead Three?

-Not a bad idea.
-Yeah.

[Travis] None of us felt sick

or like any radiation
physically affected us.

But since my gamma ray detector
clearly got hit

by something earlier,

and now the stationary dosimeter
is showing an alarm, too,

we needed to hedge our bets,
get out of there,

and rejoin the others
over at Homestead Three.

Look at this.
Here's the gamma ray detector.

[Erik] Oh, wow.

It was working in my pocket.
We drove down there,

I pulled it out
and set it on the table.

-I watched the screen just go...
-[Erik] I got you.

Well, I'm telling you,
I think it's fried.

I-I mean,
I think something hit it.

[Erik] Yeah.

[Travis] Well, look, that's a...

This has been an interesting,
bizarre thing already.

And we ain't even got started

on the experiment
with Homestead Three.

I say we go get
the laser grids going

and get
the smoke machines in there.

-What do y'all think?
-I am ready for it.

[Travis] All right.
Let's go in there.

[Travis] All right, Thomas,

how are y'all
setting it up back here?

-Right there.
-Oh, that's perfect. Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna head back
to the tables. All right.

After everything that happened

earlier tonight
at Homestead Two,

we can't wait
to see what will happen

during our smoke
and laser grid experiment

inside of Homestead Three.

They're about
to come get the smoke machines

and start smoking it up.

Yeah. Perfect.

So, we're gonna hit
that front room first, yeah?

Yeah, we'll see the beams
going across.

Using a smoke gun,
we're gonna fill both rooms

of the building completely,

so if anything strange
passes through our laser beams,

it'll be easier to see
on our thermal cameras.

There was something
moving through the laser beam.

-[Royston] Oh, yeah, I see it.
-[Travis] You see that?

Last week,
this method helped us

see something moving
through Homestead Two.

So, we're hoping this experiment
will help identify

whatever caused the heat anomaly
we spotted here

with Jim's thermal drone.

-Yeah.
-Oh, look.

-You seeing the smoke in there?
-[Erik] Yeah, it's...

-Yeah, look at it go.
-[Erik] It's going in.

-[Travis] That's awesome.
-[Erik] All right.

So now we're seeing the beams.

-[Travis] Yep.
-[Erik] That's perfect.

All right, guys.

Dude, I can see the beams
real good through there.

Let's watch and see if any--

if any anomalous behavior
happens there.

[Erik] I'm not seeing
anything yet.

Thomas, any chance

of hitting the front room
anymore with some smoke?

[Thomas] All right.

[Erik] All right.
Here I can see it

kind of painting the space.

-How's that?
-[Travis] That's good, Thomas.

Thank you.

Hadn't seen anything
anomalous in it yet

that I can understand.

Jim, you about
to get the drone up?

-[Royston] Yeah.
-[Travis] Why don't you see

if we have anything going on
at Homestead Two?

Yep.

[Travis] It's disappointing
that we weren't seeing anything

in real time on our monitors
at Homestead Three.

But since that weird
heat anomaly showed up here,

when we were running this
same experiment last week

at Homestead Two...

Look at the heat coming
out of the homestead.

It's like
somebody's got a furnace on.

[Travis] ...we wanted
to see if maybe

we'd have the reverse happen

and capture something strange

over there with Jim's drone.

[Royston] Drone going up.

[Travis] Maybe
he'll see something

that might help explain
that possible

radiation spike
we had earlier.

Yeah, I'm over Homestead Two.

And it's going red.

Look, I just lost RC...

-See the controller?
-Look at that.

"Controller signal weak"
right over Homestead Two.

How about that?

[Royston] There's
the broadcast error.

Yeah, yeah. "Failed
to obtain remote control."

As soon
as Jim reached Homestead Two,

his drone glitched. But why?

[Royston] Look at that.

Why is it saying,
"Unable to take off"?

[chuckles] It thinks
you're on the ground, dude.

[Royston] How bizarre is that?

Man, there is something over
Homestead Two, I'm telling you.

Well, so, your drone's messed
up, my computer was messed up.

The gamma ray detector
was nuked. It's crazy.

Aye.

[Travis] Could the culprit be
whatever sent

that 1.2-gigahertz signal
at the start of everything?

And was it caused
by something that was trying

to stop us from
investigating Homestead Three?

These are the kind
of questions we now have

to legitimately ask ourselves.

[Royston] All right, I'm coming
right back towards us.

And look at that.

When I got out away
from Homestead Two,

-I got better.
-[Travis] Yeah.

[Erik] Wow. That's crazy.

[Travis] All right, Thomas
and Kaleb, let's smoke it

-and do this one more time.
-Yeah, copy you.

-Go. -[Travis] All we could do
at that point

was blast one more round
of smoke into Homestead Three

and hope to see
if anything would register

on our thermal cameras.

That's good. That's good.

Well, I'm not seeing anything
that is saying

unusual phenomena or anything.

I don't see
anything unexpected here.

[Travis] We gave it
almost another hour,

but we weren't seeing
anything odd on our monitors.

I think we've got all the data
we can collect for tonight.

And who knows?

-When we process it...
-[Erik] Yeah.

...we might see
something different.

Yeah. Yeah.

[Travis] All right, guys,
you can turn it off

-and come on back.
-[Kaleb] Moving.

[Erik] After all the problems
that we encountered,

all the vexing results
that we got,

it invites speculation
as to whether

the connection between Homestead
Two and Homestead Three

would be the cause
of these kinds of events.

I think we're all
looking forward to reviewing

the video data,
which often lends more insight

than we observed in the moment.

I don't--
I don't know what to think

about what we've done
so far tonight,

other than the Homestead Two
thing's got me baffled.

-Yeah, that's for sure.
-Um...

[Kaleb] Well, that's kind of
more concerning,

especially
with what happened to that.

[Travis] Yeah. That gamma
ray detector's just fried, dude.

And my computer,
I think it's fried.

I don't know
what to do about it.

Well, we'll certainly review
everything that we've recorded,

but this has been
very interesting, guys.

-Yeah.
-Yep. All right.

-Let's just call it a night,
guys. -Yeah, let's do. -Okay.

-[Kaleb] Hey, guys.
-[Thomas] Hey, there.

Very interesting set of events

that played out last night.

[Travis] Late the next morning,

we all gathered
at the command center

to review the processed data
from our experiment.

So, my computer was
completely dead this morning.

-Yeah.
-[Thomas] Wow.

[Travis] Something corrupted it
so badly

that I had to completely
do a factory reset

on the operating system,

and get new spectrum analyzers

and radio receivers connected

to it before
it would work again.

[Erik] Did the original

radio receivers get damaged
by whatever happened?

Yes, the original
radio receivers

that were connected to it
were fried.

[Royston] The display

-on the... -[Travis] The
gamma ray detector?

...the gamma ray detector
bothers me. Like...

It was also connected
to the laptop.

This is a very specific,

complicated
kind of interference.

-Yeah. What did that?
-[Erik] Whew! No kidding.

You know,
we're still trying to sort out,

are we dealing
with something intelligent

out there at Homestead Two?
It affected specific hardware

connected to your computer.

-Yeah. It's selective
destruction. -[Travis] Yeah.

It really feels like
we were targeted.

Good point, Kaleb.

Yeah, I'm 100% convinced
that it's targeted.

[Travis] The craziness
at Homestead Two

still has us wondering what in
the hell was going on out there.

In recent years, we've had
so many freaky experiences,

from possible
communication signals,

to people suddenly becoming ill.

Heck, I was hit
by a radiation spike in 2018

that left burns
on my hand and face.

It's all adding up
to make us think

these things aren't random
at all.

They only happen to us
when we investigate there.

So, what is it?

This is the right point
to bring up what we saw

-inside of Homestead Three.
-[Travis] Yeah.

[Erik] We saw no strange
activity in the moment,

so I want
to review the video together

and see if we notice anything.

Yeah. Let's look at that.

Okay. Um, so here,
we're gonna be seeing the...

you know,
the room on the west side.

-Yep.
-And I'll just

let it play through.

Okay, let me stop there.

So was there anything
in particular

that caught your attention?

[Travis] The one question
I have, Thomas,

is where was the laser beam

in this particular point?

[Thomas] We had it in the window

pointed straight at the wall.

That's the one thing
that's getting me confused, is

why do the beams look
like they're at an angle here,

-and they shouldn't be?
-[Erik] Yes. Exactly.

[Royston] They'd have to be
mounted at the ceiling almost.

[Kaleb] The camera and

the laser were literally
right next to each other.

[Travis] This doesn't add up.

They should be going out
like that.

[Kaleb] They should be more
straight on

-from the camera.
-Yeah. Be flat.

It looks like these lasers
are coming like--

From the corner. It looks like
they're coming from the corner

-over there.
-Yes.

[Travis] Right now,
we're seeing these lasers

like they're coming down
at an angle from the right.

But based off the position
of the laser where we placed it,

we should be seeing these beams
projected almost straight on

and a little from right
next to the camera.

What the heck is going on?

[stammering] Yeah, now this
doesn't make any sense.

[Erik] All right. I'll play this
through to the end.

If you do see a feature,
call it out.

[Travis] Now, once again,

the beams coming
from the wrong direction.

[Erik] And where are the dots
that should be

on the left-hand
side of the wall?

[Kaleb] Yeah, when we set it up,
the beams were

hitting this...
the entire wall over here,

even part of that window.

They absolutely were
hitting the entire wall.

The grid was covering
the entire wall.

A hundred percent.

And we were looking at it
in real time.

-[Erik] Yeah.
-[Travis] So, if it moved

or something bumped it,
we would've seen it.

Then this picture
is just wrong.

-It's wrong.
-[Travis] The beams

that we're seeing in this room

do not match
where the laser was.

No.

[Travis] I feel like
we're in the Twilight Zone.

First, we've got lasers
going in directions

that don't match
where they were positioned.

And now, a whole part of the
grid is completely missing.

So, what the heck
could have altered our video

between the time
we recorded it and now?

Could it be connected
to whatever fried my computer

at Homestead Two?

Nothing I've got to volunteer
at this point can account

for missing light over here.

Let's look to see
if there's any other images

that don't make sense.

All right,
I'll continue to the next one.

Now this one's gonna take us
into the other room.

[Royston] Okay.

[Travis] Now that looks more
like what I was...

-I would expect.
-[Kaleb] Yes.

[Erik] The first thing
that jumps out to me is,

we can see the laser grid in the
room we were just looking at.

[Travis] Yes, right!

[Erik] And this confirms
it was right where

-we thought it was.
-Which is completely not where

the dadgum thing was coming
from in that other video.

So what changed the appearance
of the laser beams?

[Erik] I don't know
what's going on here.

-That's weird.
-[laughs] How could that

-happen?
-Ah. [scoffs]

[Travis] So,
what changed the appearance

-of the laser beams?
-Right.

[Erik] This is our positioning
of the laser

relative to the window.
To the top of the window here.

[Travis] It's like
the image on the other camera

-was hacked and changed.
-Yep.

[Travis] Last night,

when we watched the camera feed
live at Homestead Three,

the lasers that we projected
against the walls

looked straight and level,
but now,

as we watch it back,

the lasers look
like they're on an angle,

and some are even missing.

So, did something
on the ranch hack our video

after the fact
to make it look messed up?

Or here's another idea.

Did something hack it
in real time

to make it look normal
in the moment,

to stop us from investigating
it right then and there?

[Erik] There's one more thing
I want to review.

This has to do
with the thermal camera.

This is the stationary camera
facing the front door

-of Homestead Three.
-Okay.

It'll jump right out at you.

-That.
-Oh.

[Erik] Did you see that flash?

Wow. That's wild.

That is really odd and bizarre.

[Erik] I've backed up
by one frame.

-[Travis] Oh!
-[Kaleb] There it is.

-[Erik] Yeah.
-[Travis] It's like the surface

of the homestead flashed.

This suggests
it was illuminated suddenly

with a bright, infrared source.

This was "boom!"
Like a flashbulb on a camera.

It's not a software glitch.

That looks to me
like it actually happened,

whatever it was.

There are flashes like that

that are in the infrared range
of light.

They wouldn't be visible
to the naked eye,

and they could go
all the way down to maybe even

-the radio waves.
-Radio waves?

-[Travis] Yeah, you could--
-Like maybe

frying circuit radio waves?

-Yeah. Sure.
-Yeah.

Same type of radio waves
that could mess up

-a spectrum analyzer?
-Exactly that.

[Thomas] That's interesting.

[Travis] What if
this is a catch,

another piece of the phenomenon,

whatever it was
that damaged my computer.

Radio frequency waves

can cause the illusion
of flashes of infrared light,

like the one our thermal camera
picked up in Homestead Three.

So, could Thomas be right

that it's related
to my computer's meltdown

over at Homestead Two?

If so, where did it come from?

And could it also be connected
to the warped laser videos

and the other things
we've recently encountered?

Well, I think
what this shows us is that

the connectivity
between the homesteads--

Homestead Two
and Homestead Three--

have a strange interaction,

electromagnetically
and even thermally,

doing something
to our equipment.

Screwed up your drone and fried
the software in the computer.

We had the laser beam that

appeared in the camera
in a place it wasn't.

So many data points

from different events
that are telling us,

there's something weird
going on here. But what?

So, given what we've seen,
we need to keep investigating

both Homestead Two and Three.

This has been yet
another fascinating discussion.

A bit confusing,
but, uh, we're used to that.

-It's been a great review.
-[Royston] Oh, I agree.

Okay.

[Erik] Sounds good, guys.

What do we know
about the connection

between Homestead Two
and Homestead Three?

This intervening space
between these two locations

continues to draw our attention.

Unexpected RF signals.

Strange things happen
with our rockets

and our drone platforms,
unexpected interference.

What could be going on
beyond the bubble boundary

that could account for some

of the strange phenomena
that we've seen?

I would really like to know.

[Brandon] Homestead Three
has been a mystery,

but these new findings,
as unexplained

and mysterious as they may be,

are key puzzle pieces

to help us understand
the evolving picture

of what is behind
the rich history

and the strange anomalies
at Skinwalker Ranch.

[Travis] I don't know
what could be lingering inside

decaying old buildings

that would explain
what we experienced this week.

But it's clear
that from the homesteads

to the mesa to the bubble,

this ranch is loaded
with phenomena

that keeps testing
our mettle to identify it.

And all I can say is,
"Game on, Skinwalker Ranch."

CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY
A+E NETWORKS

-[Ellis] Drones are going up.
-[Travis] Sky Elements is gonna

help us scan
not only inside the bubble

but much higher above it.

We're at 3,000 feet.

-[Brian] Whoa.
-[Thomas] Drones coming down!

Drones coming down!

[Travis] We arranged
for Doppler radar

to hopefully see strange things.

Wow. Look at this.

Where?

[Travis] Holy crap.
