1
00:00:03,587 --> 00:00:06,047
‐TRAVIS: Hello?‐THOMAS: Travis.
2
00:00:06,048 --> 00:00:08,178
‐TRAVIS: Hey, Thomas.‐Hey, I'm not sure
3
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:10,085
where you're aton the property,
4
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:12,553
but, uh, there's somethinggoing on out here.
5
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:14,684
Come over hereand check it out.
6
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,019
(panting)
7
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:36,541
Hey, y'all.
I'd recommend not to touch it
8
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:38,497
till we see
if it's radioactive or not.
9
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:40,247
Too late.
10
00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:42,709
THOMAS:
Tom and I rolled it over
just to see
11
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:44,629
if we could see
any animal markings on it.
12
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:47,508
‐No sign of trauma...
‐TRAVIS: What in the world?
13
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:50,546
There's no cat tracks,
there's no sign of struggle.
14
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:52,221
‐KANDUS: Middle of the day.
‐It's just dead.
15
00:00:53,595 --> 00:00:56,215
TRAVIS:
It's hard to kill a cow.
16
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:58,853
Check it with
the Geiger counter, Dragon.
17
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:05,015
TOM:
I saw her this morning,
but she was alive.
18
00:01:05,023 --> 00:01:07,283
That late morning?
19
00:01:07,276 --> 00:01:09,186
(Geiger counter whirring)
20
00:01:13,282 --> 00:01:15,492
TRAVIS:
Lookit, the meter's
just going crazy, man.
21
00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:17,412
Jumping high,
then it jumps back to zero.
22
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:21,001
13, 14, we're at 15‐‐ 16.
23
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:22,328
‐Is it still doing...
‐Lookit‐‐ hey,
24
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:24,172
it's at, it's at five‐‐ it's 18.
25
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:26,337
It just jumped to 18 just then.
26
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:28,256
Jim, are you seeing anything
on the spectrum analyzer?
27
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:29,455
Actually, I am.
28
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:32,094
You are? What are you seeing?
29
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:34,972
Something down
in the lower areas.
30
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:37,350
So, I'm getting
some pretty high spikes.
31
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:40,517
‐Some of the stuff
like you saw yesterday.
‐See that?
32
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:42,597
‐What does this mean?
‐Well, uh, we don't know
what it is,
33
00:01:42,603 --> 00:01:44,273
but we're seeing it
with multiple instruments.
34
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:46,481
‐So this is something...
‐Something could be happening
right now
35
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:48,441
out of the ordinary.
36
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:50,782
We need to get
out of here, guys.
37
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:54,027
THOMAS:Is there really a safe placeon this ranch?
38
00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:55,781
We're quickly losing places
39
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:58,622
that are safe to goon this ranch.
40
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:08,842
RECEPTIONIST:Gentlemen,
41
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:10,587
I'd like to introduceTravis Taylor.
42
00:02:10,589 --> 00:02:12,129
‐I'll let Brandon
know you're ready.
‐Thank you.
43
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,472
‐You're welcome.
‐Hey, Travis. Jim Morse.
‐Hey.
44
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:15,717
TRAVIS:I'm Dr. Travis Taylor.
45
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,849
I'm a scientistand a physicist,
46
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:21,056
and I've got 25 years
or more, uh, experience
47
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:24,188
in the aerospace and defense
industry working with NASA,
48
00:02:24,186 --> 00:02:26,606
the Department of Defense
and the intelligence community.
49
00:02:26,605 --> 00:02:28,815
‐Travis?
‐I have degreesin electrical engineering,
50
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:30,435
aerospace engineering,astronomy,
51
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:32,032
physics, optical sciences.
52
00:02:32,027 --> 00:02:35,067
And I was invitedto come out here
53
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:38,452
to work with this teamto investigate this area
54
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:40,870
known as Skinwalker Ranch.
55
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:43,369
‐Where'd you fly in from?
‐From Huntsville, Alabama.
56
00:02:43,372 --> 00:02:44,872
‐All right.
‐Yeah, it's where
57
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,003
the rockets that went
to the Moon were built.
58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,840
‐Hi, Travis.
‐Hey, Brandon. How you doing?
59
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:52,667
‐Brandon Fugal. I'm...
‐Yeah, nice to meet you.
60
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,553
...the new owner
of Skinwalker Ranch.
61
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,679
I see you've been able
to get acquainted
62
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:58,757
‐with our team.
‐Yeah.
63
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:02,182
BRANDON: Erik Bard is our
principal investigator.
64
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:04,942
Dr. Segala has been
the scientist.
65
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:08,725
Tom Winterton,
our ranch superintendent.
66
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,730
Jim Morse is our ranch manager
67
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,863
and Bryant Arnold,
otherwise known as "Dragon,"
68
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,740
head of security.
69
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:17,697
Thank you for coming together.
70
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,908
This is the most unique
science project of its kind
71
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:23,699
because we've verified
and documented
72
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:26,164
that some of the most
disturbing, unexplained events
73
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:30,134
in the past decades,
if not hundreds of years,
74
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:31,997
have occurred on this property.
75
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:34,423
That sounds exciting
and a litt‐‐
76
00:03:34,423 --> 00:03:37,223
‐maybe even
a little bit scary, right?
‐Right.
77
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:39,927
BRANDON:I'm Brandon Fugal,chairman and owner
78
00:03:39,928 --> 00:03:43,058
of the largest commercial realestate enterprise here in Utah.
79
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,676
I'm also an investor
and cofounder
80
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:48,734
of other enterprises
involving technology.
81
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,728
I grew up middle class,
82
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,940
with a very strongreligious upbringing.
83
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:59,362
And that upbringing has onlyhelped strengthen my belief
84
00:03:59,364 --> 00:04:02,494
that there is more to ourexistence than meets the eye.
85
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:07,002
And I am still lookingfor the nature of the universe
86
00:04:06,997 --> 00:04:09,747
and asking someof these core questions:
87
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:12,669
Where did we come from?Why are we here?
88
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,709
Where are we going?
89
00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:18,133
I truly believe thatSkinwalker Ranch is a place
90
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:20,683
where some of the these
questions may be answered,
91
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:23,927
or at least better understood.
92
00:04:25,682 --> 00:04:29,942
So this shows,
from an aerial view, the ranch.
93
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:35,566
Our 512 acres lies inthe center of the Uinta Basin.
94
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:37,357
TRAVIS:The Uinta Basin.
95
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,610
I mean‐‐ is that, like, one of
the Indian tribes or something?
96
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:41,953
‐The Uintah tribe?
‐Yes. And it is named
97
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,868
‐after the Ute tribe.
‐Okay.
98
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:46,328
And the entire property
is surrounded
99
00:04:46,328 --> 00:04:48,788
by, uh, Ute tribal properties.
100
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:51,209
Well, so, one question
I have is why
101
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:53,668
is it called Skinwalker Ranch?
102
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,668
What is the‐the lore
of it, right?
103
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:57,710
Well, it's a phenomenon,
is what it is.
104
00:04:57,714 --> 00:05:00,014
‐It goes back hundreds of years.
‐BRANDON: Native Americans
105
00:05:00,008 --> 00:05:05,428
talk of shape‐shifting demonic
entities called skinwalkers
106
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:10,060
that take on the form of a, of
a large werewolf‐like creature
107
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:14,480
‐and also a number
of other shapes.
‐Wow.
108
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:17,651
BRANDON:The Native American people,for generations, referred
109
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:20,241
to this property as beingin the path of the skinwalker.
110
00:05:20,237 --> 00:05:22,237
And they called the mesa
111
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:25,659
that runs the expanse of thisproperty Skinwalker Ridge.
112
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:29,539
So that's reallythe namesake of the property.
113
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:31,118
I see, I see.
114
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,500
As early as 1911,
115
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:40,342
newspaper reports profiledstrange noises in the basin
116
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:46,050
and the homesteaders startedseeing unexplained phenomena.
117
00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:49,024
And by 1979,
118
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,885
there were a lotof UFO sightings
119
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:53,852
in the basin being documented.
120
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:57,234
People had
really acute medical episodes.
121
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:59,362
Everything from
incidents of nausea,
122
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:03,069
perception‐altering experiences,
123
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:04,871
vertigo, temporary paralysis.
124
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:09,195
And then the Sherman family,
in 1992,
125
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:11,622
acquired the property
and were witness
126
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:14,961
to some of the most
disturbing events on record.
127
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:17,378
Cattle mutilations.
128
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:20,547
These were daylightcattle mutilations.
129
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:26,047
We're talking very surgicallyprecise dissections
130
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,552
of these cattle.
131
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:30,274
They were drainedof their blood.
132
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:34,055
And there was no bloodto be found underneath them.
133
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:39,440
As much as 25% of the herd
at that time were lost.
134
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:40,481
Wow.
135
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,065
BRANDON:
In 1996,
136
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,070
the reports
of the Sherman family
137
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:50,332
led billionaire Robert Bigelowto acquire the property
138
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:54,827
and to commence anunprecedented scientific study.
139
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:58,251
Bigelow came in with his team,
140
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:01,761
National Instituteof Discovery Science, or NIDS,
141
00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:03,295
that transitioned
142
00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:05,678
to Bigelow AerospaceAdvanced Space Studies,
143
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:08,465
which was fundedby the U. S. government
144
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:10,930
and kept highly confidential.
145
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:12,600
It was a very aggressive effort.
146
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:14,309
And as part of that,
147
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:18,269
it was staffed at one time
by dozens of professionals.
148
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,771
Many of those professionals
to this day
149
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:24,944
refuse to ever set foot
on this ranch ever again
150
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:26,954
for the rest of their lives.
151
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:28,196
‐Really?
‐Literally.
152
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:30,118
‐That's right.
‐Wow.
153
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,788
BRANDON:
That brings us to present day.
154
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:38,248
In 2016,
I purchased Skinwalker Ranch
155
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:41,089
and assembled our team
to carry this investigation
156
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:43,336
forward into the next level.
157
00:07:43,338 --> 00:07:46,338
‐And what is that?
‐We've started
deploying technology
158
00:07:46,341 --> 00:07:49,841
devised by Erik Bard,
our principal investigator,
159
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:51,854
related to monitoring
160
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:53,716
and recording the events
happening on the ranch.
161
00:07:53,723 --> 00:07:56,233
Right, that makes sense.
162
00:07:56,226 --> 00:07:58,346
One of the first things
that we captured:
163
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:01,983
a 500‐foot section
164
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:06,321
of the mesabecame totally illuminated.
165
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,359
That's‐that's wild.
166
00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:12,243
We have seen several instances
of compact light pillars,
167
00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:16,002
these columns of light thathave appeared above the mesa.
168
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:18,245
TRAVIS: I'm looking atthis picture, and I believe
169
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:21,878
I'm seeing scatteroff of the lower cloud cover,
170
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:24,546
which impliesthat it's going upward.
171
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:27,006
And there's no used car lot
on the other side,
172
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:28,506
where they're having
a spotlight
173
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,798
‐shining up?
‐Nope.
174
00:08:30,802 --> 00:08:32,602
‐That's interesting.
‐There is also
175
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:33,925
a bright luminous object
176
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:35,640
that came into view
in the western sky
177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,890
and disappearedbehind the mesa.
178
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:39,602
And it travelled at a speed
179
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:42,232
that was not consistentwith typical aircraft.
180
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:44,150
Plus, at that time,
181
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:46,149
there was no
historical flight data
182
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:49,531
showing commercial
or private air traffic.
183
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:50,909
That's intriguing.
184
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:52,695
Indeed.
185
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,699
I‐I really am curious
as to why exactly am I here?
186
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,662
What is it I'm supposed
to be figuring out?
187
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,672
Right. I think, you,
as an experimentalist,
188
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:02,625
you would bring
to the table a lot more
189
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:05,335
stringent protocols
than what's here now.
190
00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:08,466
‐Okay.
‐We want your perspective.
191
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:10,045
THOMAS:
We've noticed
that when we bring new people
192
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,720
onto the ranch,
193
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:14,138
the ranch behaves differently
than it normally does.
194
00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:16,847
It's just a place, right?
I mean, and...
195
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:19,558
And you guys think
that it's going
196
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,059
to behave
when I show up there, right?
197
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,363
Where there's smoke,
there's fire, and there's things
198
00:09:25,356 --> 00:09:28,776
that go on that ranch that
I cannot get my head around.
199
00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:30,777
That ranch can push back.
200
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,319
BRANDON:
We'd like to fly you out
201
00:09:32,322 --> 00:09:34,162
to the property tomorrow.
202
00:09:34,157 --> 00:09:36,077
My brother will be
escorting you,
203
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:38,406
so you can see
the ranch firsthand.
204
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:39,951
I'm not sure
what we're gonna find,
205
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:41,754
but I can't wait to see
what we're gonna find.
206
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:42,828
Great.
207
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,382
(horn honking)
208
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,706
BRANDON:So, Travis,
209
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:51,383
tell me honestly,
do‐do you think I'm crazy?
210
00:09:51,382 --> 00:09:53,682
(laughs)
Well,
211
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:55,296
I think some of the stories
are crazy,
212
00:09:55,303 --> 00:09:58,103
but just because the stories
sound crazy
213
00:09:58,098 --> 00:10:00,678
doesn't mean that there's not
something to it.
214
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,563
So, no, I don't thinkyou're crazy, Brandon.
215
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,110
I think it's intriguing,is what I can say.
216
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:06,435
There has to be
something more to it.
217
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,109
Yep. Are we truly alone
in the universe?
218
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:22,964
Welcome to Aero Dynamic.
219
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:24,866
‐So this is the hangar?
‐Yep.
220
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:26,884
‐CAMERON: Hey, Brandon.
‐These are my brothers.
221
00:10:26,876 --> 00:10:28,546
‐How are you?
‐This is my brother Cameron.
222
00:10:28,545 --> 00:10:30,125
‐Travis Taylor. Yeah.
‐Good to meet you, Travis.
223
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,710
‐My brother Matt.
‐Nice to meet you too, man.
224
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:33,474
Nice to meet you.
225
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,676
So we're going to be
in this helicopter today?
226
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:36,136
Yep, this is the Airbus H130.
227
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:37,966
‐TRAVIS: H130, Okay.
‐We'll be flying
228
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,391
‐at 10,000 feet.
‐Aw, that sounds awesome.
229
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:43,940
Safe flight, uh, and good luck
at Skinwalker Ranch.
230
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,822
Go with engine startup.
231
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,985
All systems are check.
232
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,450
We'll proceed on our way.
233
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:03,708
You probably want to get
down there
234
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:06,035
‐and get boots
on the ground, don't you?
‐Yep, I do. Absolutely.
235
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,460
I want to get down
and start walking.
236
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:08,668
I want to cover every inch
of the place.
237
00:11:11,254 --> 00:11:12,674
What do you think aboutthe ranch?
238
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:15,132
‐Those are some strange stories.
‐Oh, yeah.
239
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:16,343
What do you think
about all that?
240
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:17,682
Well, it's interesting.
241
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,507
I originally went from believing
242
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,222
that it was just kind of
all foo‐foo
243
00:11:21,222 --> 00:11:24,602
to thinking there might be
something, uh, to this, based on
244
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:26,311
what I've
experienced personally.
245
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:28,731
Stuff has happened.
There's times where I've felt
246
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:30,400
I don't really want to be there.
247
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:32,528
Not knowing what's, what's
causing some of the anomalies
248
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,105
that are out there.
249
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:36,740
My main concern is just
to make sure that we're safe
250
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:38,408
going in and out
of the property.
251
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:41,116
‐Oh, I agree with that.
‐Especially in aviation,
252
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:43,487
you do the best you can
253
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:46,044
‐to minimize any danger
or risks.
‐Yeah.
254
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:47,619
You do your preflight checks,
255
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,214
you make sure the maintenance
is right;
256
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:51,209
but even then,
there's still some things
257
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:52,961
that you don't
have control over.
258
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:55,262
And so for every flight I go on,
259
00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:57,836
I always say a little prayer,
just try to keep it simple.
260
00:11:57,842 --> 00:12:00,972
‐Okay.
‐And so I'd love to do that
if you are open to that.
261
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:02,560
‐Absolutely, sure.
‐All right.
262
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,555
Heavenly Father, we're grateful
263
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:06,767
for this opportunity
to fly today,
264
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:10,148
and to do some exploring
and‐and research,
265
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:11,556
and explore the sciences.
266
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:12,944
We ask for safety today.
267
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:15,321
Protect us as we come
into this ranch.
268
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:18,908
And we say these things in
the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
269
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:20,365
Amen.
270
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,619
CAMERON:We're approaching the ranch.
271
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:33,086
We're going to go low level
down over the entrance
272
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:35,836
to show you the guard shack.
273
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:38,298
All systems are check,we're descending
274
00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:40,639
down onto the property now.
275
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:45,312
Below you'll see the gate,
the concrete barriers,
276
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:47,346
‐and the signage.
‐Right. Yeah, I see that.
277
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:50,270
And then the guard shack.
278
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,610
TRAVIS:As Cameron flew me intoSkinwalker Ranch,
279
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:53,765
my first impression is
280
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:54,943
it's in the middle of nowhere.
281
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:58,821
It's not anything unusualto look at
282
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:00,660
from any of the other landaround it;
283
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,115
it's the things that aresupposedly happening here
284
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,866
that makes it unusual.
285
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,289
Now, where is itwhere the mountain
286
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:10,498
is glowing in the video
287
00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:12,378
‐that they showed me?
‐So I'll show you the ridge.
288
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,125
Skinwalker Ridge.
289
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:16,707
It's over in this areathat I don't typically fly over
290
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:19,473
based on reports they had oflight originating in the area.
291
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:21,255
So we'll kind ofskirt around this.
292
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:25,309
So, right there at yourone o'clock, the mesa plateau.
293
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:29,767
‐And it's this, this ridge here
that's glowing?
‐Yeah.
294
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:31,437
‐Yep.
‐Huh.
295
00:13:31,436 --> 00:13:33,146
CAMERON:
It's where they detected it
on the cameras.
296
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,646
‐TRAVIS: Wow.
‐The scientists have
cautioned me to‐‐
297
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:37,148
to be careful here,
298
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,440
uh, due to the potential
for any energy
299
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,654
or any other disruption of
the helicopter. I stay away.
300
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:44,164
I just, I felt uneasy
flying over that
301
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,317
with what I saw in the video.
302
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:46,784
‐Really?
‐Just to make sure.
303
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:48,494
TRAVIS:Well, you know,
304
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:50,124
if it's some kind ofelectromagnetic phenomena,
305
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:52,001
‐it could affect the avionics,right?‐Yeah. Yeah.
306
00:13:51,998 --> 00:13:53,708
TRAVIS:Make it unsafe.So, I can understand that.
307
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,668
‐CAMERON: My primarygoal is safety.‐TRAVIS: Oh, yeah.
308
00:13:57,628 --> 00:13:59,838
CAMERON:
So there's Homestead 1 here.
309
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,839
This is the primary homestead
down below in the trees.
310
00:14:05,136 --> 00:14:07,176
Then along the ridge,
there's Homestead 2...
311
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:12,937
...and then, uh, Homestead 3
will be down
312
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:16,185
‐on the western side
of the property there.
‐Okay.
313
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,859
A lot of the activity,
for whatever reason,
314
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,318
seems to be centered around
the old homesteads.
315
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:24,859
These over‐100‐year‐oldstructures.
316
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:28,454
And that activity is not onlyUFO‐related,
317
00:14:28,451 --> 00:14:32,331
it involves the full gamutof unexplained phenomena
318
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:34,170
that we continue to monitor.
319
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,461
Really intriguing.
320
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:40,875
I hope not to leave heremore perplexed
321
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,420
than when I came in, right?
322
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:44,263
‐(both chuckling)
‐That's right.
323
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,349
TRAVIS:One of the thingsthat excites me the most
324
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:51,056
about this ranch, and, uh,the investigation team,
325
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:55,227
and doing this, uh, research,is... what if?
326
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,438
That's the big thing.
327
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,357
What if some of it's real?
328
00:14:58,356 --> 00:14:59,976
What if this reallyis an answer
329
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:03,242
to one of the big questionsthat Brandon had?
330
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:05,656
Maybe we'll get some insight.
331
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:09,366
‐TRAVIS: Hey, guys.
‐TEAM: Hey, Travis.
332
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:12,407
‐THOMAS: You made it.
‐Yeah. It was a great flight
coming in.
333
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:13,791
‐It was beautiful.
‐JIM: Good to see you. Welcome.
334
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:14,908
‐TRAVIS: How you doing?
‐Nice to have you.
335
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:15,874
TRAVIS:
Yeah, it's good to see you guys.
336
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:17,043
Welcome to Skinwalker.
337
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:18,421
Yeah, thanks, man.
Glad to be here.
338
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:19,417
‐What's going on, Dragon?
‐Hey, Trav.
339
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:21,248
How you doing, buddy?
340
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:23,014
‐Let me introduce you
to Kaleb here.
‐Hey, Kaleb. How you doing?
341
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:25,415
This is my right‐hand man.
342
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:26,934
We'll be taking good care of you
while you're here.
343
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,386
BRYANT:My name is Bryant Arnold.
344
00:15:29,387 --> 00:15:32,427
And my main role is the head
of security here.
345
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:35,601
The reason that we takesecurity so seriously is
346
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,851
we need to protect thescientific integrity of things
347
00:15:37,854 --> 00:15:41,404
going on, and protectthe people that live here.
348
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,109
Skinwalker Ranch piquespeople's interest,
349
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:45,780
and so with that we geta lot of people
350
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,358
that try to sneakonto the property.
351
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:50,954
We carry weapons because
352
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,790
we don't knowwhat we're dealing with,
353
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,285
and it's a dangerous place,
354
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:56,827
between the natural things
that are here
355
00:15:56,831 --> 00:15:59,251
and then also the unknown.
356
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:00,670
Well, it's nice to meet you.
357
00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:01,958
‐I got to get back to it, so...
‐TRAVIS: All right,
358
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,131
‐thank you, man.
‐Yep. Have a good one.
359
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:05,089
I'm excited to be here, man.
360
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:06,879
I can't wait to start
looking around.
361
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:08,933
Well, let's show you
the command center,
362
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,676
real quick, and, uh,
start the tour.
363
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,639
TRAVIS:
Let's do it.
364
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:16,479
So this is the command center.
365
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:17,935
This is the command center.
366
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:19,475
A few things that
we've collected
367
00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:22,478
over the last couple years
as we've been here.
368
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:24,901
Ah, cool.
I like all the pictures.
369
00:16:27,278 --> 00:16:28,988
Erik, you ought to show him
the control room.
370
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,818
Sure. Travis, come take a look.
371
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,333
Is this where all
the instruments are piped into?
372
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:35,536
‐ERIK: That it is.
‐The nerve center.
373
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:39,249
This is our inner sanctum.
374
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:43,837
TRAVIS:
Inner sanctum, I love that.
375
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:45,666
So it's a work in progress,
but you can see...
376
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:47,011
‐Yeah...
‐Surveillance assets;
377
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:49,336
see the systems that we've got
online right now.
378
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:50,972
ERIK:My name is Erik Bard.
379
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:52,888
I've been actingas principal investigator
380
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:55,847
at the Skinwalker Ranch sitesince 2016.
381
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,308
Brandon has entrusted me
with the first phase
382
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:02,650
of the investigation
under his watch.
383
00:17:02,647 --> 00:17:05,687
That phase is a phase of...
384
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,321
observational science.
385
00:17:07,318 --> 00:17:10,318
We're observing the property,
386
00:17:10,321 --> 00:17:12,531
primarily lookingfor phenomena,
387
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:17,541
and real evidence thatthere's something here on site.
388
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,156
The idea of buildinga control room
389
00:17:20,164 --> 00:17:23,834
was born out of necessity,so that I can observe
390
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:25,544
what's happening at all hours.
391
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:28,884
We have surveillance assetsallowing us to see
392
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:31,431
in various directionsacross the property.
393
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:36,219
We have thermographicimaging cameras,
394
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:39,392
night‐vision equipment.
395
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,232
And so we've got
the weather data.
396
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:43,897
Always important.
Temperature, humidity.
397
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,896
‐TRAVIS: The daily rain...
‐ERIK: Right.
398
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:47,608
‐And what have we got here?
‐You're looking at the output
399
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:50,398
from the SATAN platform,
which is actually right there.
400
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:53,113
‐TRAVIS: Okay.
‐ERIK: We also have a platformthat I designed,
401
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:55,374
to which I've given the nameSATAN; it's an acronym
402
00:17:55,366 --> 00:17:59,496
for Sentinel Assignment,Telemetry and Notification.
403
00:18:01,247 --> 00:18:03,037
It's a devicethat allows us to measure
404
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,710
vibrations in the groundand to record sounds
405
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:09,090
that are below the frequencyrange of human hearing.
406
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,630
The device
is constantly measuring,
407
00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:14,843
and whenever we get
a signal of interest,
408
00:18:14,844 --> 00:18:17,104
‐it lets me know about it.
‐Okay.
409
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:20,806
‐This is the transponders
for the airplanes?
‐Right, so this
410
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:22,938
is air traffic over the ranch
right now.
411
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:26,605
We also havean avionics receiver
412
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:29,436
that receives the signalsbeing emitted by aircraft
413
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:32,612
identifying themby their tail numbers.
414
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:35,452
The purpose ofthe avionics receiver
415
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:37,488
is to help us discern between
416
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:40,291
things of known origin‐‐
aircraft‐‐
417
00:18:40,286 --> 00:18:43,496
and bright light sources
418
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:46,327
that haveno identifying information.
419
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:50,214
And we've seen things that areactually quite unexpected
420
00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:52,092
and confusing.
421
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:53,759
But I'm not here to believe,
422
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:56,468
I am not here to disbelieve,
I'm here to observe.
423
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:59,219
Well, what'd you think?
424
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:01,851
TRAVIS:
Oh, it's the inner sanctum.
That was awesome, man.
425
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:04,939
We got a lot to see.
I think we ought to get you out
426
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:06,265
‐and get going.
‐Yeah, I'd love to.
427
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:08,060
THOMAS:
Okay. Let's go get started.
428
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,152
So, are we driving or walking?
429
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,490
THOMAS:
It's more than a walk,
430
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:14,235
so why don't we take the UTV?
431
00:19:14,236 --> 00:19:15,566
TRAVIS:
I got shotgun!
432
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:17,531
This is great.
433
00:19:19,617 --> 00:19:21,657
SEGALA:All right, you're aboutto see some really cool stuff.
434
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,451
‐TRAVIS: Yeah?‐THOMAS: We're gonna gosee the mesa.
435
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:31,088
THOMAS: You know, on our wayover to the mesa,
436
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:33,377
there's something I want
to show you real quick.
437
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:36,431
‐You want to see itfor just a second?‐TRAVIS: Yeah! Heck, yeah.
438
00:19:36,425 --> 00:19:39,255
My hope for being out hereat Skinwalker Ranch
439
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:40,471
is to get some answers.
440
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:43,061
There's so many stories
about, you know,
441
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:46,057
boogeymen and aliensand whatever else.
442
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:47,730
If there is somethinghappening out here
443
00:19:47,728 --> 00:19:49,688
that's unusual,I want to find out.
444
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,662
So, Travis, a lot of
interesting things.
445
00:19:57,655 --> 00:19:59,945
So this used to be
a very operational ranch,
446
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,789
where they had the cattle,
they would process right here.
447
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:06,155
They had calves in this area.
They had bulls in this area.
448
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:08,833
You mean when the‐the Shermans
owned the place...
449
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:10,383
When the Shermans occupied
the, uh, the ranch here.
450
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,799
BRANDON:Everything thatI have researched
451
00:20:14,797 --> 00:20:17,297
relative to the Sherman familyleads me to believe
452
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:21,509
that they were subjected tosuch an intense amount
453
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:24,852
of disturbing activity.
454
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:28,689
They experienced everything
from UFO sightings
455
00:20:28,686 --> 00:20:32,186
to countless
cattle mutilations.
456
00:20:32,189 --> 00:20:35,399
They had beasts or entities
457
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:37,651
that would appear to them.
458
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:40,033
I don't blame themfor selling the property.
459
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:42,120
They were terrorized.
460
00:20:43,284 --> 00:20:46,414
There's a story where
461
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:47,412
a very large wolf
462
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,253
came in off the plains.
463
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:54,168
And a group of calves
were in this pen right here.
464
00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:57,470
The wolf put his head through,
465
00:20:57,465 --> 00:21:00,465
and started pulling one
of the calves out of the fence.
466
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:04,138
The Shermans, seeing that,
the father then went inside,
467
00:21:04,138 --> 00:21:07,308
got a weapon, and came out
and started shooting at it.
468
00:21:07,308 --> 00:21:09,558
Point blank, you know,
right here.
469
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Shooting at the wolf.
470
00:21:12,563 --> 00:21:14,653
BRYANT:
Right, like a .357,
471
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:17,068
and then that
didn't do anything,
472
00:21:17,067 --> 00:21:18,737
so apparently,
it let them go back in
473
00:21:18,736 --> 00:21:20,566
and a bigger gun, and I guess
474
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:23,411
that's what it took to let it‐‐
to make it drop the calf.
475
00:21:23,407 --> 00:21:26,737
And the story goesthat this animal
476
00:21:26,744 --> 00:21:30,754
was strong enough
to withstand, allegedly,
477
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:33,078
six shots from a .357
478
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:35,463
and a couple shots
from a .30‐06 rifle.
479
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:41,134
So they pursued after it,
480
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,973
and as they gotto the part of the ranch
481
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:46,679
where the riverbisects the property,
482
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,680
they could see tracksgoing down the mud
483
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:52,443
and starting up the sideof the bank on the other side
484
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:54,226
and then disappearinginto nothing,
485
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:56,480
as if the thinghad just vaporized.
486
00:21:56,482 --> 00:22:01,322
And so, there are rumors
and stories that have come out
487
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,320
about all sorts of really
fantastic happenings here.
488
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:06,784
I‐I know, uh,
489
00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:08,414
the stories of the skinwalker,
490
00:22:08,410 --> 00:22:09,790
the shape‐shifter thing,
isn't one of the things
491
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:12,117
that it's supposed to turn into
is like a big wolf?
492
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:14,832
‐That's correct.
‐That's strange, right?
493
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:17,344
So to the mesa?
494
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,376
‐Yeah, let's head over
to the mesa.
‐All right.
495
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:21,380
I'm not entirely convinced
496
00:22:21,382 --> 00:22:23,302
that this stuffcan't be explained.
497
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,640
So I'm really eager
to see for myself
498
00:22:26,637 --> 00:22:28,467
what's happening on this ranch.
499
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:30,222
THOMAS:Okay, ready?
500
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:31,684
TRAVIS:Yup.
501
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:36,809
So this is it?Skinwalker Ridge.
502
00:22:36,814 --> 00:22:38,654
‐THOMAS: Yeah.‐ERIK: That's right.
503
00:22:38,649 --> 00:22:40,109
TRAVIS:They call itthe Skinwalker Ridge.
504
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:41,779
Has any of you ever seen it?
505
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:44,857
The skinwalker shape‐shifter
thing walking the ridge?
506
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,624
Well, I haven't.
507
00:22:46,615 --> 00:22:48,905
Have y'all talked to anybody
that claims to have seen it?
508
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,449
Jim Morse has seen it.
509
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:52,662
That's right.
510
00:22:52,663 --> 00:22:57,003
When they talk about
the curse of the skinwalker,
511
00:22:57,001 --> 00:23:00,501
um, back in the mid‐1800s, 1860,
512
00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:04,554
uh, the Utes and the Navajo, um,
they crossed each other.
513
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:09,175
Unfortunately,the Utes were utilizing
514
00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:11,099
the Navajos as slaves.
515
00:23:11,098 --> 00:23:13,928
So the Utes and the Navajo
516
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:16,654
got into a skirmish,
517
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:19,105
and because of that
518
00:23:19,106 --> 00:23:21,856
the Navajos cursed this land,
519
00:23:21,859 --> 00:23:25,109
which now is the, uh,path of the skinwalker,
520
00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:28,322
this shape‐shifting spirit.
521
00:23:28,324 --> 00:23:31,544
I didn't want to believethis phenomenon is real,
522
00:23:31,535 --> 00:23:33,695
but then there was one evening
523
00:23:33,704 --> 00:23:36,084
that we were combingthe ground,
524
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:37,961
and one of the guardsthat I was with
525
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:40,458
carries, like,an infrared lamp,
526
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:44,721
and as he was combing the rocs
527
00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:49,295
he pointed outtwo big red eyes.
528
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:51,893
It looked at me,and then it left.
529
00:23:51,889 --> 00:23:54,219
Call me what you will,
530
00:23:54,224 --> 00:23:56,104
but I, personally,
am not comfortable out here‐‐
531
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:58,601
even with
my security background
532
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:01,154
as a military police officer‐‐
to be out here alone,
533
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:03,648
uh, in‐in the,
in the dark of the night.
534
00:24:06,612 --> 00:24:08,072
THOMAS:Let's stop right here.
535
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:09,742
This is probablythe easiest place
536
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:12,910
to access the top of the ridg.
537
00:24:12,910 --> 00:24:14,950
Climb the rest of the way.
538
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:22,126
TRAVIS:So is this where the glow wasfrom the video?
539
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:23,837
That's right,
there's about a 500 to 600
540
00:24:23,837 --> 00:24:25,877
foot long section of this mesa
541
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:30,551
that appears to pulsatein some of our night footage.
542
00:24:30,552 --> 00:24:35,102
I'm gonna check my compass
and see if it's acting crazy.
543
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:37,939
That's... that's west, right?
544
00:24:37,935 --> 00:24:40,515
So it seems like
it's doing fine.
545
00:24:40,521 --> 00:24:42,821
You ought to check your TriField
meter, see what it's doing.
546
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:45,105
I'm getting a little tone
from it.
547
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:46,989
‐A little tone?
‐Whoa.
548
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:48,856
‐Let me see that thing.
‐Sure.
549
00:24:48,862 --> 00:24:51,412
TRAVIS:Out on the mesa,
550
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:53,157
we're using these electricfield measurement devices
551
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:55,118
called TriField meters.
552
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,499
‐Get out of the way,
make sure it ain't your radio.
‐Okay.
553
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:00,786
TRAVIS:And they measure three fields:magnetic field,
554
00:25:00,791 --> 00:25:04,381
static electric field,
then it measures radio frequency
555
00:25:04,378 --> 00:25:07,838
and microwaves, which is
electromagnetic dynamic fields.
556
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,300
Whoa, whoa, it's gone up.
557
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,140
Hold on, let me step back.
558
00:25:12,136 --> 00:25:15,846
TRAVIS:There are always radio waves
559
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:17,098
and microwaves
bouncing around everywhere.
560
00:25:17,099 --> 00:25:18,639
We use that for Wi‐Fi,
561
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:20,442
for your cell phone
communications, everything.
562
00:25:20,436 --> 00:25:22,596
The biggest thing
that piqued my interest
563
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,944
was the amount of energyin these microwaves
564
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:27,440
we were measuring was gettingclose to dangerous levels.
565
00:25:27,443 --> 00:25:28,613
That's significant.
566
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:29,820
And the direction
567
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:30,950
continued to change.
568
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:33,816
It's coming from that direction.
569
00:25:33,824 --> 00:25:37,204
What is doing that?
570
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:38,662
Look at that.
571
00:25:39,913 --> 00:25:41,253
Sounds like it might be getting
572
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:42,788
louder as we get higher.
573
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:45,211
Let's go up the mountain
and see what happens.
574
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:50,881
Skinwalker Ranch is inthe middle of nowhere,
575
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:53,843
and I couldn't see a cell phone
tower as far as I could see.
576
00:25:53,844 --> 00:25:55,974
I barely was getting a signal
on my phone,
577
00:25:55,971 --> 00:26:00,141
and there wereno Wi‐Fi routers.
578
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:01,942
‐Whoo. Man, that was
a nice walk.
‐Man. That's a climb.
579
00:26:01,935 --> 00:26:05,055
‐(chuckles)
‐Hey, hand me that meter.
580
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,524
What's yours saying, Erik?
581
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:10,284
‐So we're at four and a half.
‐Which way?
582
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:11,607
This way.
583
00:26:11,612 --> 00:26:13,452
Yeah, this one's pegging out.
584
00:26:13,447 --> 00:26:15,697
Along‐‐ It's kind of a‐along
the ridge line.
585
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:19,289
Yeah, I mean,it's‐it's a real strong signal.
586
00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:21,456
THOMAS:
What's it saying?
587
00:26:21,455 --> 00:26:24,035
TRAVIS:
Dude, it's‐it's in the
milliwatts per meter squared.
588
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:27,126
And, I mean,
that's a significant
589
00:26:27,127 --> 00:26:28,917
amount of energy right there.
590
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:31,971
We went to the top of the mesa,and what we found
591
00:26:31,965 --> 00:26:35,175
was even moreelectromagnetic radiation
592
00:26:35,177 --> 00:26:36,427
that shouldn't be there.
593
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:37,888
That's a real strong signal.
594
00:26:37,888 --> 00:26:39,638
And at dangerous levels
595
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,230
that could be harmful to humans.
596
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:42,885
Oh!
597
00:26:42,893 --> 00:26:44,193
And it's shifted now.
598
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:45,806
Now it's coming
from that direction.
599
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:48,443
‐And it's all radiation.
‐TRAVIS: Yeah, yeah,
it's all RF.
600
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,940
Wow.
601
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:52,282
TRAVIS:The level of microwaves there
602
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:56,067
that we detectedwere much stronger than
603
00:26:56,073 --> 00:26:58,123
what you getfrom your cell phone
604
00:26:58,117 --> 00:26:59,947
or your Wi‐Fi routers,
605
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:03,962
and microwaves like thatjust don't exist in nature.
606
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:08,126
So where was this microwaveradiation coming from?
607
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:09,457
Because I'd never seen that.
608
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:12,091
I don't know.
We've‐we've been here, what,
609
00:27:12,089 --> 00:27:14,299
an hour and already
found something
610
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:16,139
that I don't have any idea
what's going on.
611
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:18,845
I‐I‐I don't understand it.
612
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:25,811
TRAVIS: Well, I have no idea
fo what we just saw, e,
613
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:29,191
but we did see something.
614
00:27:29,189 --> 00:27:31,609
Not bad for your first few hours
on the ranch, huh?
615
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:33,648
Yup, wasn't bad.
616
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,402
Wasn't a monster or an alien
617
00:27:35,404 --> 00:27:38,624
or a UFO, but it was
still something weird.
618
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:39,985
At least it was something.
619
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:41,662
TRAVIS:I certainly didn't expect
620
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:44,330
to see anythingthe first day I got here,
621
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:45,659
much less the first hour,
622
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:48,334
but when we walked upon Skinwalker Ridge,
623
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:52,003
we saw microwave radiation
at levels
624
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:53,844
that were close to dangerous.
625
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:55,669
Hey, guys, welcome back.
626
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:57,514
TRAVIS:And I wasn't expecting that.
627
00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:58,679
I can't explain it,
628
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,847
but we're gonna getto the bottom of it.
629
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:05,016
There was some sort of source
of‐of electromagnetic radiation
630
00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:06,557
hitting the bottom
of the mountain,
631
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,690
and as we moved
up the mountain, it seemed
632
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:11,687
to get a little worse,
and it was random, though,
633
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:14,280
'cause we'd point the meter in
one direction, and it'd peg out,
634
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:16,446
then it'd stop. Then we'd point
it in another direction,
635
00:28:16,445 --> 00:28:19,695
and it'd peg out again.
Held my cell phone up to it,
636
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:21,238
‐it wasn't the cell phone.
‐THOMAS: Yeah,
electronics weren't‐‐
637
00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:23,701
didn't seem to be the source
of it, which is...
638
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:26,042
Well, and there was two of them
reacting the same way,
639
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:28,708
so it wasn't a bad meter or
anything like that, we had both.
640
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:31,037
And one time,
Erik was holding his pointed
641
00:28:31,043 --> 00:28:32,383
completely opposite direction,
642
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,087
and both of them
were pegging out.
643
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:36,047
‐It was just‐just strange.
‐BRYANT: Well, and that
sort of thing
644
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:38,928
doesn't just happen on the mesa
or in the bowl like that.
645
00:28:38,926 --> 00:28:41,386
We'll come across times where
we'll be carrying that equipment
646
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:44,886
and all of a sudden it'll
peg out for no reason.
647
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:46,430
Yup.
648
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:48,643
That's why we need to be
measuring this stuff
649
00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:50,904
over a long period of time.
650
00:28:50,896 --> 00:28:52,396
‐Right.
‐BRYANT: Exactly.
651
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:53,817
‐Right.
‐Exactly.
652
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,275
So I'd like to get about 50
653
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:57,105
of those TriField meters
654
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:59,990
and put them in known locations
around the ranch,
655
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:02,068
like, up on the hill where we
just measured the crazy stuff,
656
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:03,834
whatever that was,
657
00:29:03,825 --> 00:29:05,825
and‐and have it real‐time,
right there, being recorded.
658
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:07,287
‐Yeah. Oh, yeah.
‐Right?
659
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:08,747
'Cause if something like that
660
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:09,997
is happening like we just saw,
661
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:11,668
I want us to capture
date and time
662
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:13,127
'cause that way we might‐‐
can figure out
663
00:29:13,126 --> 00:29:14,496
where it's coming from,
what it's doing,
664
00:29:14,503 --> 00:29:16,343
‐and what's happening to it.
‐Yeah.
665
00:29:16,338 --> 00:29:18,258
Beyond that,
I would like to have
666
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:20,796
a complete sweep
of the radiation spectrum
667
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:22,721
over the entire ranch.
668
00:29:22,719 --> 00:29:24,469
THOMAS:
And that reminds me,
when they were doing
669
00:29:24,471 --> 00:29:25,931
the nuclear tests
down in Nevada...
670
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:28,391
‐Are you talking about
the atomic bomb testing?
‐Yes.
671
00:29:28,392 --> 00:29:30,272
When they were doing that
down in Nevada,
672
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,268
uh, the Uinta basin was actually
673
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,860
‐a hot spot for the downwind.
‐Oh, really?
674
00:29:34,856 --> 00:29:36,436
Some of the highest
concentrations measured,
675
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:38,401
if I understand right, were just
676
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:40,492
30 miles north of here.
677
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:42,157
Well, we should look
into that as well.
678
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:43,775
We‐we know what
the decay products are
679
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:45,622
from those particular tests
680
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:47,537
and that's all documented
really well. We should
681
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:49,956
look in to see how that
may have affected the ranch.
682
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:51,665
‐Right?
‐That's a great idea.
‐Yup.
683
00:29:53,709 --> 00:29:55,749
TRAVIS:Back duringthe Manhattan Project,
684
00:29:55,752 --> 00:29:59,632
as, uh, long ago as 1945
and on through the early '50s,
685
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:02,341
a few hundred miles away,
686
00:30:02,342 --> 00:30:04,762
at the Nevada Test Site,
687
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:09,471
there were abovegroundnuclear tests,
688
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:12,354
meaning atomic bombswere set off.
689
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:14,152
Nuclear fallout was thrown upinto the sky,
690
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,146
this is radioactive dirt,
691
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:20,688
dust particles, that then flyaround with the air currents,
692
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:24,164
and a lot of those windsbrought this radiation
693
00:30:24,156 --> 00:30:27,486
over the Uinta Basinwhere Skinwalker Ranch is.
694
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:29,792
So back in the '50s,
695
00:30:29,786 --> 00:30:32,656
it's highly likely
that radioactive fallout
696
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,214
fell on this ranch,
697
00:30:34,207 --> 00:30:37,707
and some of itshould still be there today.
698
00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:41,051
It's possible that exposure
699
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:43,508
to radioactive fallout
700
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:46,178
could cause people
to have strange symptoms,
701
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:49,848
maybe even hallucinations,
and see things, hear things,
702
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:52,598
and maybe even do things
that would seem abnormal.
703
00:30:52,601 --> 00:30:55,521
There might be uranium
or something
704
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,230
‐in the dirt here.
‐Right.
705
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:59,020
So we need to have
a complete radiation sweep,
706
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:00,864
‐so we'd have a map.
‐Sure.
707
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,779
‐That's right.
‐TRAVIS: We need to look
for radon gas
708
00:31:02,778 --> 00:31:05,108
'cause that's a by‐product
of uranium decay.
709
00:31:05,113 --> 00:31:08,203
We should look for, uh,
gammas and betas and alpha
710
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,370
‐particles even.
‐Mm‐hmm.
711
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:11,788
We need to look
for radioactive trace
712
00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:13,957
or something in the ground,
so we should see
713
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:16,825
what happens when we do
something like digging a hole.
714
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:18,593
And we create
715
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:22,045
a precisely controlled
experiment where
716
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:24,007
we're digging to this depth,
717
00:31:24,007 --> 00:31:25,717
and to this size,
and this volume.
718
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,297
And every five feet,
you do a gamma test.
719
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:30,724
TRAVIS:
Right.
720
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:32,722
We can be looking at
the electromagnetic spectrum
721
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:35,104
while we're doing it in case
there is some kind of strange
722
00:31:35,102 --> 00:31:37,152
microwave phenomena
that's occurring.
723
00:31:37,145 --> 00:31:38,765
BRYANT:
Look,
724
00:31:38,772 --> 00:31:41,942
scientists by nature
want to explain everything.
725
00:31:41,942 --> 00:31:44,242
‐Well...
‐See, here's‐‐ The problem is,
726
00:31:44,236 --> 00:31:47,736
those of us that don't think in
a scientific mind all the time,
727
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:49,569
talk about a feeling
or, you know,
728
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:51,994
something‐‐ the heebie‐jeebies,
whatever you want to call it...
729
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:54,043
‐Right.
‐...in us laypeople terms.
730
00:31:54,037 --> 00:31:57,577
I mean, I'm not a scientist, but
I've spent a ton of time here,
731
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,252
I know for a fact,
732
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:01,961
crap goes down when people
start disturbing the earth.
733
00:32:01,962 --> 00:32:05,422
If we start digging,
that's the trigger.
734
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:08,473
You know, if you're
gonna be a part of this,
735
00:32:08,468 --> 00:32:13,008
I have to unequivocably say
"No digging."
736
00:32:22,732 --> 00:32:26,492
When you guys talk about every
W time somebody digs out here
737
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:28,406
on the ranch
without asking about
738
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:31,155
where to and where not to dig,
it seems to me
739
00:32:31,158 --> 00:32:33,618
like that's‐that's
a big blinking sign saying
740
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,958
"if you want to create the
phenomena to manifest itself,
741
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,075
‐you go and dig somewhere."
‐BRYANT: I'm not
742
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:41,042
the type that wants
to go looking for trouble.
743
00:32:41,042 --> 00:32:43,002
There's enough going on
around this place
744
00:32:43,003 --> 00:32:45,593
where I‐I'm not looking
to stir up trouble.
745
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:48,259
‐Yeah, I mean, I‐I hear you...
‐Great.
746
00:32:48,258 --> 00:32:49,798
BRYANT:The history of the place
747
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:54,261
has said that when you dig,
bad stuff happens.
748
00:32:54,264 --> 00:32:56,814
I heard about not digging
749
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,138
as soon as I cameonto the property.
750
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:02,364
It goes back to previous ownersof the property.
751
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:06,185
They said that when you digor disturb the earth,
752
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:11,073
that is what seemed to triggerwhatever phenomenon is here
753
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:15,742
and caused harm, and that's not
what I'm looking to do here.
754
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:18,004
Well, how about you, Erik?
755
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,666
Well, do you want to go out
and start digging holes?
756
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:23,125
You're the eyes and ears
of the place.
757
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:24,336
ERIK:
I'm doing my very best
758
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:25,796
not to be superstitious
about this.
759
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:28,465
I am intensely curious
760
00:33:28,465 --> 00:33:31,175
about what might be below
this‐this ranch.
761
00:33:31,176 --> 00:33:33,596
But I do not consider
762
00:33:33,595 --> 00:33:37,765
my own curiosity
an entitlement to knowledge.
763
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:41,806
There are some contexts in which
perhaps even I shouldn't know
764
00:33:41,811 --> 00:33:43,691
about what's going on
on the ranch.
765
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,818
But until I'm advised
to that end,
766
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,935
I'm proceeding as if this
is an observational,
767
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:51,244
‐experimental undertaking.
‐TRAVIS: Well,
768
00:33:51,238 --> 00:33:52,568
I think that's
what it has to be.
769
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:54,702
My grandmother used
to always say,
770
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:56,159
"A hornet's nest
isn't interesting
771
00:33:56,159 --> 00:33:57,579
until you poke it with a stick."
772
00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,367
‐Right? And...
‐BRYANT: Okay, well,
773
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,161
what kind of hornets
were you dealing with?
774
00:34:01,164 --> 00:34:04,834
Well, hornets that sting,
so you use a really long stick
775
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:06,924
‐and then you drop the stick
and run really fast.
‐Okay, so...
776
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,710
who's gonna do
the digging, then?
777
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:11,843
Well, that's a good question.
I don't know the answer to that.
778
00:34:11,841 --> 00:34:15,721
Maybe we get volunteers
that don't mind the risk?
779
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:18,350
It's impossible
to explain the risk.
780
00:34:18,348 --> 00:34:19,718
There's one person
that knows the risk,
781
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,524
and he's sitting
right there. Right?
782
00:34:23,603 --> 00:34:26,733
Having been a person that's done
a lot of digging on this ranch,
783
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,611
the more serious
of digging I do,
784
00:34:28,608 --> 00:34:31,818
the more serious of consequences
that follow.
785
00:34:34,948 --> 00:34:36,908
I didn't believe
in the paranormal
786
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:38,538
when I came out on this ranch.
787
00:34:38,535 --> 00:34:41,705
And I paida pretty hefty price.
788
00:34:41,705 --> 00:34:45,705
When they told me not to dig, Ijust thought it was ridiculou.
789
00:34:45,709 --> 00:34:50,299
And so, one day,I decided to do some digging.
790
00:34:50,297 --> 00:34:54,427
And then, three days after,I noticed that I had
791
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:56,256
a goose egg
on the back of my head.
792
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:59,011
By the time I let my wife
793
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:00,774
finally take meto the emergency room,
794
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:04,595
the goose egg had actually
spread through my entire head.
795
00:35:04,603 --> 00:35:07,903
My scalp separatedfrom my skull.
796
00:35:07,897 --> 00:35:10,897
The pain is so excruciating,I've never felt anything
797
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,700
like it before in my life.
798
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:16,945
The doctors had no ideawhat caused it.
799
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:18,908
They didn't know how to fix i.
800
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:20,908
Basically they're telling mewhat happened to me
801
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:24,960
was medically impossible, andit caused me a severe injury
802
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:28,786
that to this day I'm stillhaving some repercussions with.
803
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:32,463
I know that I was warned,
"Hey, don't do digging."
804
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:35,804
I didn't have this preconceived
idea in my mind that if I dug,
805
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,180
something bad was gonna happen,
because I‐I didn't believe it.
806
00:35:41,264 --> 00:35:44,644
Enough things have happened
to myself, to the equipment,
807
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:47,983
it is a possibility
that they are correlated.
808
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,979
This is real stuff.
809
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,901
This is nothing
to take for granted.
810
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,150
You're talking about
health and wellbeing.
811
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,912
T‐This is no nonsense.
812
00:35:56,905 --> 00:35:58,815
TRAVIS:I get it.
813
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,663
These guys are nervous.
814
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,949
When they've dug,they've seen things happen.
815
00:36:02,952 --> 00:36:04,912
Tom's injury was real serious.
816
00:36:04,913 --> 00:36:07,923
It scares them a little bitand they want to be careful.
817
00:36:07,916 --> 00:36:09,326
And I get that.
818
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:10,964
I don't want anybody
to get hurt.
819
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,710
But I'm not sure
what caused the injury.
820
00:36:14,714 --> 00:36:16,384
And I think we're only
gonna find that out
821
00:36:16,383 --> 00:36:19,473
by doing a lot more
experimentation.
822
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:23,009
We are interacting with this
somehow or other,
823
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:26,104
and so we need to calibrate what
we're doing to the experiment.
824
00:36:26,101 --> 00:36:27,811
THOMAS:
Look, if we're gonna dig,
825
00:36:27,811 --> 00:36:29,651
if we're gonna test this,
let's just do it in a way
826
00:36:29,646 --> 00:36:31,646
that we're keeping
the possibility
827
00:36:31,648 --> 00:36:34,568
that it may be dangerous and
let's put some safety nets up,
828
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:35,777
just in case.
829
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:40,025
Jim, what do, what do you
think about it?
830
00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:42,661
I think we should dig
because I want to learn more
831
00:36:42,659 --> 00:36:44,199
about what it means to dig.
832
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:47,792
I don't see an anomaly happening
as a warning,
833
00:36:47,789 --> 00:36:49,419
I see it as an invitation.
834
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:51,036
BRYANT:
Look,
835
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,042
it's not my piece of property.
836
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:55,884
You've been brought here
obviously for a purpose.
837
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:00,510
If the owner of the property
says, "I want this to happen,"
838
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:02,550
then I'm on board.
839
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:06,224
We ought to see if we can
get Brandon on the line
840
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,564
and talk to him
about some of the stuff
841
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,229
that we've talked about.
842
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,727
Erik, do you think
we can get him on video chat
843
00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:13,610
‐or something like that, see if
we can give him an update?
‐Sure.
844
00:37:13,606 --> 00:37:15,396
‐Sure, I'll bring him up now.
‐All right.
845
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,400
(line ringing)
846
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:20,697
(chimes)
847
00:37:28,538 --> 00:37:31,078
‐TRAVIS: Hey, Brandon.
‐Greetings, team. How are you?
848
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,422
‐Doing well.
‐Doing great, how are you?
849
00:37:32,417 --> 00:37:34,877
I am gladthat you patched me in
850
00:37:34,878 --> 00:37:38,208
and I'm wondering how the
investigation is progressing.
851
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:40,764
Well, it's been an eventful day.
852
00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:43,259
As the ranch usually does
when we bring new people on,
853
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:45,971
it seems to, uh,
liven up a little bit.
854
00:37:45,972 --> 00:37:50,062
And we, uh, caught some
pretty interesting things today.
855
00:37:50,059 --> 00:37:51,269
TRAVIS:
Yeah, Brandon, when we were up
856
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,939
on the mesa, the TriField meters
857
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:58,227
were measuring really strong
transient microwave fields
858
00:37:58,234 --> 00:38:00,614
and‐and the power that,
uh, we were picking up
859
00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:02,822
was on the verge
of being dangerous levels.
860
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:07,372
So, I'd like to get some
more precise measurements made.
861
00:38:07,368 --> 00:38:11,288
Yeah, that's‐that's disturbing,and that is also consistent
862
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:14,459
with what we've experiencedin the past.
863
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:17,459
What are the priority itemsgoing forward
864
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,462
as we launch into this phaseof the investigation?
865
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:22,884
BRYANT: So, one of the first
things the guys want to do
866
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:24,934
is get some surveys
and some testing done.
867
00:38:24,928 --> 00:38:27,308
They want to do some RF testing.
868
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:30,305
They want to do
radiological testing,
869
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:33,938
some thermography and...
870
00:38:33,937 --> 00:38:35,857
they want to dig.
871
00:38:35,855 --> 00:38:38,105
Hmm.
872
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,318
You know, I...
873
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:44,949
I'm not sure
I'm comfortable with that.
874
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:47,948
Uh, w‐which part are you not
comfortable with, uh, Brandon?
875
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:52,291
The digging. I think thatonce we commence digging,
876
00:38:52,288 --> 00:38:54,458
it opens upa whole Pandora's box,
877
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:56,837
and there are certain risks
878
00:38:56,835 --> 00:39:01,335
that I thinkyou just aren't privy to
879
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,839
and haven't beenproperly briefed on.
880
00:39:03,842 --> 00:39:06,512
TRAVIS:When Brandon said
881
00:39:06,511 --> 00:39:08,141
there was no digging
on the ranch, I was stunned.
882
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:09,677
How are we gonna get
to the bottom of things
883
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,141
happening on this place,
884
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:13,560
if we can't investigate
in every way we can?
885
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,190
TRAVIS:
Well, we need
886
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:17,556
to be briefed
on that data, then,
887
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:19,234
so we can understand
the phenomena
888
00:39:19,232 --> 00:39:23,862
that we're being exposed to
or trying to uncover.
889
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,862
I understand. Erik,
890
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:30,544
do you happen to havethe, uh, the case?
891
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:32,655
I do. I've been saving it
892
00:39:32,662 --> 00:39:35,002
until the right point in
the discussion to bring it up.
893
00:39:34,998 --> 00:39:40,168
TRAVIS:My first reactionwhen Brandon tells me
894
00:39:40,169 --> 00:39:41,749
that they haven't
showed us everything,
895
00:39:41,754 --> 00:39:43,884
that we haven't seen
all the information they have...
896
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:46,052
Well, how can I help them
897
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:48,220
if they don't give meall the information?
898
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:51,719
And I was a little bitconcerned about that.
899
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:53,813
This is notto be taken lightly,
900
00:39:53,808 --> 00:39:56,728
and that's why we've keptthe material
901
00:39:56,728 --> 00:39:59,148
under lock and key.
902
00:39:59,147 --> 00:40:01,397
I think you'll understandsoon why.
903
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:02,979
This is a matter of, really,
904
00:40:02,984 --> 00:40:05,704
the highest levelof seriousness and sensitivity.
905
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:07,735
‐Hmm.
‐BRYANT: These are hornets
that you've never
906
00:40:07,739 --> 00:40:09,369
had to deal with before.
907
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:11,235
Hornets. All right.
908
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:13,202
Well, I want to see them.
909
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:15,542
BRANDON:Erik, with that,
910
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:17,748
proceed to show themwhat is in the case.
911
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:19,419
Regrettably,I have to go to a meeting,
912
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,917
so I'll lookfor your update later.
913
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,760
‐Thanks, gentlemen.
‐OTHERS: Thanks, Brandon.
914
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:27,466
TRAVIS:I came into this saying,look, guys,
915
00:40:27,467 --> 00:40:29,047
we're gonna follow
the scientific method.
916
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:31,472
You can't keep data
917
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:35,851
away from the experiment andnot show the rest of the team,
918
00:40:35,850 --> 00:40:38,480
in order for itto be a good experiment.
919
00:40:38,478 --> 00:40:41,148
I've got a U. S.government clearance,
920
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,937
and I don't seewhy Brandon and the team
921
00:40:42,941 --> 00:40:44,781
feel like they haveto keep anything from me.
922
00:40:44,776 --> 00:40:46,236
Now, I'm beginningto wonder what the heck
923
00:40:46,235 --> 00:40:48,395
they've got in store for me.
924
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,784
So what I am going to show you
925
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:53,453
may offer an explanation
for some
926
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:55,501
of what we've been
seeing on the property.
927
00:40:55,495 --> 00:40:58,155
You'll understand
as soon as I open this up.
928
00:41:05,213 --> 00:41:06,423
TRAVIS:
Wow.
929
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:13,763
TRAVIS:The legend is that thingshappen on this ranch.
930
00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:15,353
SEGALA:Okay, that's spiking.
931
00:41:15,348 --> 00:41:17,388
‐That could be dangerous.
‐It's coming from up there.
932
00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:19,102
ERIK:The signal was comingfrom the sky.
933
00:41:19,102 --> 00:41:21,152
‐What is that?
‐TRAVIS: Do you guys see that?
934
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,475
It flew from behind
the mesa. Foom.
935
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,650
‐There it is.
‐There it is again.
936
00:41:23,648 --> 00:41:25,858
Whoa. That's a definite beam.
937
00:41:25,858 --> 00:41:30,318
The moment that object appeared,
the cow reacted.
938
00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:32,451
HOWE:We are dealingwith some kind of intelligence
939
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:34,828
that has the ability
to paralyze.
940
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:38,576
KANDUS:It felt like someone wasknocking from under the floor.
941
00:41:38,579 --> 00:41:40,959
‐What is that?
‐THOMAS: Is that
a fragmented bone?
942
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:42,377
ERIK:It could be human remains.
943
00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:45,085
We have something active
beneath this property.
944
00:41:45,086 --> 00:41:47,876
‐TRAVIS: It stinks in here.
‐THOMAS: I don't want to stay
in here very long.
945
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,800
TRAVIS:
We were just exposed
to ionizing radiation.
946
00:41:49,799 --> 00:41:51,259
‐My head is killing me.
‐JIM: This is serious.
947
00:41:51,259 --> 00:41:53,009
SEGALA: I think it's timeto go to the hospital.
948
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,011
BRANDON:I wanted to get out hereas soon as I could.
949
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:56,853
Who or what
could we be dealing with?
950
00:41:56,848 --> 00:41:59,268
BRYANT:
There is something of
significant size down there.
951
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:00,807
‐JIM: Is it saucer‐shaped?
‐Yes.
952
00:42:00,810 --> 00:42:02,350
TRAVIS:Let's dig it up.
953
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:03,693
‐BRYANT: Look at that.
‐THOMAS: What is that?
954
00:42:03,688 --> 00:42:05,018
SEGALA:
Why is that rocking like that?
955
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:06,523
‐TRAVIS: Oh!
‐(cows mooing)
956
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:08,574
What we saw tonight was real.
