Dragon, what's going on?

We had some crazy stuff go down.

Just after dark, there
was something that

was shimmering yellowish-orange.
Then it instantly vanished.

Within seconds, something
flies across the sky.

We invited a veterinarian
to look at the cow

that died last year.

As you can see, the
predators haven't done their job.

No, they haven't touched it.

There's something
about that carcass

that I don't like.

This petroglyph represents
two different worlds,

so it's a guardian
to the portals.

The portal is a window
into the supernatural.

There is a ranch
in northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth

Animal mutilations,

bizarre ufo sightings

and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the
federal government

tried to find
answers and failed.

Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,

researchers and
experts has taken over.

They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal.

The secret of skinwalker ranch.

So, colonel
Alexander has told us

that he's receptive to
having a conversation today.

I've actually got
him standing by.

So, why don't we
give him a call?

All right, yeah.

After the recent bizarre events

that have happened
on skinwalker ranch,

we really wanted to speak
with a credible investigator

with past experience here.

Luckily, Erik bard
was able to convince

john Alexander to have a
video conference with us.

John is a retired
u.S. Army colonel,

and he was also a member of
Robert bigelow's team known as

the national institute
for discovery science.

They investigated the
ranch for over two decades.

And this is the first time
someone from that group

has been willing
to engage with us.

Colonel Alexander,
do you hear us?

- Yeah.
- Good morning, john.

This is Erik speaking.
I want to thank you

for taking our call today.

So, john, I understand
you came on very early,

as soon as Robert Bigelow
bought the property.

Um, actually, I was with him
the day he bought the ranch.

We had a number of very,

phenomenal events occur.

After acquiring the
ranch in the 1990s,

Robert Bigelow immediately
locked the property down,

established 24-hour
security and launched

what was an unprecedented

scientific investigation
of the property.

They ended up encountering
all sorts of strangeness.

Everything from cattle
mutilations, to ufo phenomena,

to what can only be described
as poltergeist-like activity.

But most of what
mr. Bigelow and his team

reported on the ranch remains

either classified or
confidential and is locked away.

So, john, we've
been talking about

the events that have
happened here on the ranch,

and more specifically,
out at the homestead area.

And I understand that this is,

something that you're
very knowledgeable about,

and we're hoping that we
could get your perspective

on the things that happened
out in the homestead area.

Like you, we had
this instrumented.

We had cameras that
were working, 24/7.

We did a lot of monitoring.

You know, radiation
and things, of that level,

and the old homestead area is

one that seemed to specifically
attract a lot of attention.

One of the things that really
stand out in my mind is that,

the observers are on
the ridge line to the north,

and looking down
upon homestead two,

and they see a spot
of light that expands

and something came
out, about six foot tall.

Now, you know how dusty

the roads are there, right?

Well, something big
came out, ran off, and yet,

you don't find any
physical evidence of it.

Well, we've had two events
within the last three weeks

where something appeared to
be stalking us or watching us,

and when we tried to find it,
it vanished and there was not

a single track anywhere,
and-and the roads are just

as dusty now as they were
then, so it should've left tracks.

Right.

One of the things that
you did mention, though,

about being stalked... one
of our guys, he talks about

having another experience

out at the old homestead area.

I put in, again, the very high
strangeness, high credibility.

This was in the night.

And there seemed to be
something moving across the trees.

Where, you know, you get
a distortion, but it's not clear,

that... Just that
something might be there.

That's interesting. We saw
something that we described

after the fact as
looking like a predator.

It was there one second,
and then it was just gone.

Yes, we had those
kinds of experiences.

Some of our people...
They're out, late at night.

This is in the winter,
and they look up,

and there's something
up in the trees.

And it looks like it's
above one of the cattle.

One of our guys had a
rifle with him and shot.

Whatever it was

fell out of the tree

and disappeared totally.

They went out the next day,

and I said it was winter,

and there was some
snow on the ground,

and the one thing we found
was this track that looked like

a gigantic raptor.

I mean, three-prong,

we're talking out of Jurassic
park kind of raptor print.

And could not find

any other tracks, whatsoever.

I've never heard that story.

So, this is

a pretty amazing story.

I don't know what to think of it

because I've never
seen anything like that,

but given his
history and his past,

I don't know why I
shouldn't believe it.

Of all these strange phenomena

that-that happened
when you were here,

and even speculate some,
what do you think it is?

I'm not even sure how to begin

addressing the
complexity of that.

Now, it's my view
that these things

are all connected in some way.

I would say the
area is a portal.

It's like
multidimensional reality.

And I think, periodically,

the dimensions overlap,

and when they do,
those sorts of things

that you see are
just as physical

as you sitting there right now.

But when it
separates, it's gone.

I find it both interesting

and a bit jarring to hear
colonel Alexander state,

in such matter-of-fact terms,

that the ranch is, in fact,
a place where portals

to unknown dimensions
actually open and close.

If we're actually
dealing with a portal,

one explanation could
be that it's a wormhole,

which is theorized
to be a literal gateway

between two different
dimensions in both time and space.

Now, it might
sound like something

out of science fiction,

but not only did Albert Einstein

believe they
could actually exist,

I've had my own experiences here

that made me wonder
if it's possible, too.

It just keeps on going all the
way across the spectrum. Wow.

Last year, I was awakened
in the middle of the night

on the ranch when
my spectrum analyzer

suddenly started detecting
incredibly high energy spikes.

I'm seeing all these signals
from the microwave band,

all the way down past the
ham bands at 35 megahertz.

Now, to do that, it would be

I don't even know
how we would do that.

That... It's almost impossible.

The question is, is this
crazy signal we're seeing

creating some type of event

that is something like
Einstein was theorizing?

What if the only way to
explain all these things

is with a wormhole?

So, we're looking at what
experiments we can do

that, hopefully,

we can either detect
one of these portals.

Stimulate a portal,

or something to
see what it could be.

Despite the complexity, I think

that's a good thing to do,

and I think you're
adding to the data.

And that's critically important.

John, we all offer our
thanks for your time

- and for the things you've shared with us.
- Yeah.

Really insightful.
I look forward

to the next chance we have

to meet and talk
about what we've found.

- All right. Thank you, now.
- We'll talk soon.

Bye.

Well, I think that
was a great call.

I agree. No, he
was very insightful.

What can we do to follow up on

what we learned
in the discussion?

- What would you do?
- I have some ideas.

Let's first assume that somehow
there's a portal that appears.

If it is a doorway, it's
got to be something

like a traversable wormhole, so
there's gravitational anomalies.

So, if you had laser beams

scanning the area
when this occurred,

the beams would... Would bend,

move or... Or maybe
they're color-shifted.

So you could see visible light
turned into something else.

Maybe.

It's a good place
to start, for sure.

- Let's do it.
- I agree.

Travis and Erik are here.

Well, we didn't lose anything.

I think we got everything
else we need, at least for now.

While we're arranging to
get experts and equipment out

to the ranch to help us
conduct our laser experiment,

Thomas winterton had
the idea of constructing

an observation tower
at the southernmost point

of the property to act
as a base of operation.

If we can just get
two more sheets

of plywood up there, grab
these two posts, and then we can

haul the rest of it
up with the Polaris.

- What-what do you guys think?
- Sounds good to me.

- Let's just get it done.
- Somebody getting cranky.

Go.

The south side really has

the best view of the
ranch, including the mesa.

You're able to see clear
back to the uintah mountains.

And it really gives
you a 360-degree view

all the way around
that's just remarkable.

Let's line it up
on one side first.

Yup. Yup. Get your end flush.

With all the sightings
that we've had in the sky,

and with everything that's
going on here at the ranch,

it's going to be great to have

another observation
point further away

that can give us a
different perspective

and give us another
set of eyes on

what's going on
here at the ranch.

It looks pretty close.

We need a camera on each
corner, looking in every direction.

Well, I mean, you
guys can see the view.

This is the place
for observation here.

This tower is not
only going to be great

for our laser experiment,

but since we're about to bring

a new herd of cattle onto
the ranch for the summer,

it'll also help us keep
a better eye on them

and make sure they're safe.

Well, let's keep
slinging hammers.

- Okay.
- Okay. Sounds good.

We're almost there.

Hey, guys.

- Hey, tom.
- Hey, winterton.

You got the trackers?

- Yes, we do.
- Got the trackers.

Good deal. Well,

we've got the cows
coming in here, as you know.

While the rest of
the team were doing

final preparations for
the laser experiment

at the observation tower,

Thomas winterton
arranged to have a new herd

of cattle brought onto
the ranch for the summer.

How you doing?

- Good. How are you?
- Good.

- Good.
- Appreciate you bringing them out.

Well, thanks for
letting us come.

We're bringing cows
onto this ranch to maintain

and take care of the land

and keep it grazed
so that it stays healthy,

keeps it from
becoming a fire hazard.

Also, the second thing is,

is each cow we put on the
place becomes a bio sensor.

Animals seem to
have that sixth sense.

We want to make sure that

all the animals here are
taken care of and protected.

Because of the
strangeness of this place

and based on what
happened last year.

What in the world?

There's no cat tracks.

There's no sign of
struggle. It's just dead.

I saw her this morning,

but she was alive.

I don't know. That's weird.

Appreciate you
bringing them out.

And I was gonna introduce
you to tom and kandus.

They're the caretakers
that live here.

They're gonna monitor the cows,

make sure that
they're all healthy.

- How are you?
- Not bad, thanks.

- Nice to meet you.
- Good to meet you. Glendon lamb.

- Nice to meet you, glendon.
- They'll report to us

if, you know, if anything
strange has happened.

Sounds good. I think you'll
do well. Yeah, thanks so much.

- Nice to meet you guys.
- Thank you.

- Good to meet you.
- Yeah, it was a pleasure. Yeah.

See you guys.

- So, tagging time?
- Yeah.

So, guys, we're
gonna run them through

this green squeeze
chute right here.

I'll tag them right here.

- Excellent.
- And so, if the three of you can just

- keep the chute loaded...
- - Okay.

And keep pushing them
up, it-it should go really quick.

- Okay. Let's do it.
- Sounds good.

Come on. Come,
cows. Turn around.

Kandus and I

have been working
with Erik bard,

and we've come up with
this cattle tracking system

that we're gonna use

so we know exactly
where the cows are.

And hopefully, that might
shed some light on anything

that happens this year.

Last summer...

Three, two, one, ignition.

As we were
launching small rockets

high above the ranch that were
equipped with energy sensors,

suddenly, all of the cattle
started acting really strange.

Look at the cows.

Never seen that before.

Look, look, look. What is that?

Then, out of nowhere, we all

witnessed something
that we still can't explain.

It's a plane, I think.

- It's gone.
- Nah, that wasn't a plane.

We'd still see it
if it was a plane.

Hopefully, by tracking
the cows' movements,

we can correlate that
and-and compare it

to when we're having events
take place on the ranch.

You know, when something happens

at homestead two,
were the cows close by?

How soon before an event
did the cows leave the area?

You know, what kind of warning
is their bio sensors giving them?

Well, that's the whole herd.

Nice work, winterton.

- You, too.
- Well done.

Here they are.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey. How you doing?

- Welcome to the ranch. Thomas.
- Chris. Nice to meet you.

Erik bard and I
contacted Chris novielli

and tim Anderson
of nu-salt laser

to help us investigate

if all the strange
phenomena that's occurred

over the years on
skinwalker ranch

really could be due to a
possible inter dimensional portal

like colonel john Alexander from
the former nids team believes.

Have you ever tried
to open up a portal?

This is kind of a
first, one for us here.

I'm really interested.
If you shine the laser

through it or
close enough to it,

we might see a change

in the direction of the beam.

Well, daylight's burning.
I know we kind of wanted

to get set up before
it's completely dark.

Yeah.

I'll go grab our
jeep, bring it over,

- and we'll transfer the gear.
- Sounds good.

These guys have
really brought out

a massive array of lasers.

We want to put them out
by this observation tower,

and as soon as
the sun goes down,

we can start this and see
if we can stir some activity.

I got this one.

What we're going to
do tonight is deploy

a high-powered laser
beam aimed over the mesa

and the surrounding areas
to see if the light bends,

changes colors or
disappears in any way.

Any of those things
happen, it could be evidence

of a break in the
environmental plane

or, like Einstein theorized,
could be possible evidence

of an actual portal
to another dimension.

We ready, guys?
Y'all-y'all got everything set?

We're gonna turn
those lasers on, guys.

Start scanning the mesa.

Our new observation
tower is the ideal spot

for our first experiment
focusing on the mesa.

If you put the laser
spot right there,

then I'll look
right at the spot.

- There it is.
- Is that... There's two.

Last summer, while investigating
a documented phenomenon

where the top of the mesa
actually glows at night,

we focused a single
laser beam at it.

Look.

- And strangely, the point.
- Where the beam landed

was split into two by something.

- How is it doing that?
- That is so weird.

For this experiment,

we're gonna use better
cameras, more instruments

and sophisticated
scanning laser systems

to see if the beams
actually split again

or bend or disappear.

I don't think the properties
of the mesa's natural features

could actually cause or
explain something like that.

It would have to be
something completely different.

So, what's gonna happen

is their big space laser
cannon is gonna come up

with a ginormous bunch of beams

going straight up.
It's gonna be huge.

And then we'll start
scanning the mesa.

We got about almost
600 watts of-of laser power

that we're about to start
pumping into the sky here.

Well, let's see it. Let's go.

All right. In five, four,

three, two, one.

Boom!

- My gosh.
- Wow, look that.

Look at that
bird fly through it!

Right up main street.

It would be really
amazing to prove

the existence of a portal

or possibly one of
einstein's wormholes

with this laser
experiment tonight.

But if that does happen,
I'm a little nervous

about what else we
might prove along with it

about what's happening
here on skinwalker ranch.

Hey, you see that?

I got to tell you, this is...

Amazing, the view you
can see from up here.

If there's... something happens
over the mesa, we'd see it.

That is unreal.

You know, if light's
gonna trigger something,

you'd think it'd be that.

Quite a show.

Wow!

Look, you can see the
mesa glow in that camera.

Now, that looks spooky.

You know, Erik, what
you're recording there

is telling us a lot about

the different color
reflectivity of the mesa.

It's strange how erik's camera

is showing that
bizarre glowing effect

on top of the ridge like
we've seen in the past.

I'm just not sure yet
what could be causing it.

We can go back and look
at this video and analyze

so we can see even
where they're going.

And it may give us
some insight on...

On why the mesa glows sometimes.

- Yeah, you know, I...
- What I'd like

to look for when we go back

and play through
this frame by frame

is whether we can detect
any of that double reflection

- of that splitting that we saw last year.
- Yep. Right.

Hey, guys, is it
possible for you to kill

all but one beam so we
can just focus on one?

- There you go.
- Hey, guys?

Um, so, what I want you to do is

slowly bring it down
to almost treetop height

and then go up to the top

of the height that you're
cleared for right there.

All right, that's perfect. That's
as low as you need to go.

- Now, slowly bring it up.
- That's exciting.

No off-axis scattering here.

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything
like we saw that one time.

Let's bring the laser back
down onto the mesa and move it

to the, east until I say stop.

- So, that's your right.
- Keep going.

Keep going. Right there.

Now slowly bring it up.

Further up.

- Right there. Right there.
- Stop.

You know, I think I'm
seeing, some scatter around it,

hitting other rocks and stuff.

Perfect.

I think we do have
all the footage.

- I think we have the data we need.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Good.
- We've illuminated

the entire ranch
with optical beams.

And we do realize the
mesa is highly reflective

in the visible light range,

but we haven't seen what
I would consider evidence

of anything strange beyond that.

It's not always an
automatic reaction

when we do stuff.

You know, so, just
because we don't see

something happening
right this second,

that doesn't mean that
what we're doing tonight

couldn't trigger
something going forward.

- Yeah, I agree with that.
- Certainly... Certainly likely.

It was getting really late,
and since nothing for certain

happened out at
the mesa, we decided

to end this phase
of the experiment

and have the guys plan to
come back tomorrow night

to run some laser
scans at homestead two.

And I was really anxious to
see what would happen there,

given all we've heard
and experienced ourselves.

So, I think we can
pack everything up

and... And head back
to the command center.

I-I think it was a very
successful experiment.

I really appreciate
your help, guys.

- Yeah, thank you.
- Thanks for having us.

Ryan skinner's coming out today.

He's a ranch researcher,
and he's bringing with him

an ex-deputy sheriff from
the area named Kris porritt.

- Hey, Ryan. Hello.
- Hey, guys.

- Kris? Kandus linde. Nice to meet you.
- Glad to meet you.

- Tom Lewis. - Glad to meet you.
- Come on over.

Kris has some stories
he wants to share,

and he evidently was the officer

who reported one of
the cattle mutilations.

So that's pretty compelling,
considering he's around

to talk about it and wants to.

How did you become
familiar with the ranch?

I actually met mr. Meyers when
I was working for the county,

and he had a fascination
for horses, the same as me.

And, so, I'd come
down and ride with him,

and from that time on, we
became really good friends.

The Meyers family

acquired the property
in the early 1900s.

They, along with the old
original homesteaders,

really started settling
the-the general area

that has now become
skinwalker ranch.

Kenneth and Edith
Myers ended up living

their entire lives
on the property,

and experienced unusual
events on the property.

We've heard stories about

there being a lot of
locks, some weird chains.

- Did you see any of that?
- He had everything chained down.

The fridge was locked.
The cupboards were locked.

- Yeah?
- Even his car.

Why do you think that was?

When I asked ken
about all the locks,

he says "Kris," he says,
"I wouldn't appreciate

you repeating what
I'm about to tell you."

And I said, "well, your-your
secret's my secret."

And he says, "I get visitors."

He says, "alien activity."

- Wow.
- And he says,

"things come up missing.

Things come up dead."

Kenneth had actually
seen the aliens,

or knew what they looked like?

He could feel they was present.

And he says, "I don't
know exactly why

they picked my
ranch, to pick on me."

Did he talk about
any visitations

that happened in the house?

Yeah. Like the screens on
a window being taken out.

- Really? Okay.
- Really?

And, he'd tell me that,

at nighttime, he heard
something strange

- while he was sleeping.
- Right.

Kandus and I have experienced,

you know, crazy
things that happen

on this property and
especially in this ranch house.

Oftentimes, we do feel
like we're being watched.

Keep going. You're
right on top of it.

Last year, after tom Lewis

and kandus linde began
hearing strange sounds and voices

coming from below their
house, we investigated a strange

concrete room in the basement
that was totally closed up.

We drilled a hole
through the wall,

and we ran a camera inside.

What we found
was really disturbing.

Just stop right there.

See that?

It looks a lot like bones.

What in the world?

What happened right here
was one of the biggest tricks

you ever seen in your life.

- What it do?
- Yeah? What happened?

Ken couldn't find three heifers,

and I got here just at sunrise

with my horse, we rode all
day long, and I says, "ken,

I don't know what to tell
you about your heifers."

We can't find fresh
tracks, you know?

And he had a shed right here.

And ken couldn't
get the door to open.

So, we start pushing on it,
pushing on it, pushing on it.

I pushed it open as far
as I could to the inside,

and I looked in
there, and I said,

"ken, you ain't
gonna believe this.

Your heifers are in the shed."

And he goes, "no way. How
you gonna fit three cows in there?"

The heifers, stuffed in
there is what you're saying?

Locked in there?

They was stacked one on
top of each other like this.

- My god.
- What?

- And he said, "they're dead."
- They're dead?

And I said, "the snot's still
running out of their nose.

They're still alive."

And I said, "go get a glass
of water and dump that

right over the top
of that heifer's head."

He did, and that
damn thing come to life.

Like it had been...

- Drugged.
- Drugged.

And you actually saw this

- with your own eyes?
- I've seen it. Yeah.

That is an incredible story.

Kris, we'd like to hear
more about the cattle

and introduce you to
some more of the team.

Yeah, that'd be fine.

Let's go.

Right over there by that tree.

Yup.

In addition to the bizarre
events that Kris claims

he witnessed at homestead one,

he also reported an
actual cattle mutilation

near the command center.

And it was right near
where the cow died last year.

So what time of year was it
when this event took place?

I'm gonna say midsummer.

I've seen images,

I've read reports
of cattle mutilations.

It'll be nice to hear

from someone who has
actually seen those animals

and exactly what
happened to them

and get some kind of insight

as to what pattern
might exist there.

- So, this is the spot?
- Yeah.

This used to be an
irrigation ditch right here.

And right in here is where
there was two black Angus cows.

What did they look
like on the ground here?

The head was facing
toward the ditch,

and the legs were out this way.

All the female organs were
removed out of both cows.

And the back end, the tail,
and the uterus and everything

of the cows were right in here.

The skull, the neck bone,
everything was removed.

I can't explain it.

Absolutely no blood, no
burn marks, no operation.

Did you have the impression
that those cows were in the location

where they were
butchered like that or...?

Yeah.

Yeah. And there
was matted grass,

where something heavy
had sat in these weeds

and made an
impression in the dirt.

- In this same area?
- Well,

right over here, actually.

And that sat kind of
kitty corner this way.

When I wrote the report,
I put 23 feet, tip to tip.

That could be
give or take a little.

I presume it was a spaceship.

I've said it, didn't I?

Was it square
shaped, or was it...?

- Cigar shaped, yeah.
- Kind of like the tic tac.

Last year, the
pentagon declassified

a video taken by two
navy pilots in 2004.

This video's become
known as "the tic tac" video.

It shows some
kind of flying craft

maneuvering with
a propulsion system

much more advanced than any
human technology we know of.

At about the same
time, it came to light

that the federal government
had been funding

the advanced airspace threat
identification program or aatip.

It's literally a program
designed to study

unknown aerial
phenomena, like ufos.

So, it's pretty fascinating
to me that a former sheriff

in the area is reporting what
he believed to be evidence

of a ufo craft on skinwalker
ranch that is eerily similar

to what our own government
has documented elsewhere.

- That's a strong statement.
- Yeah.

You guys put two
and two together.

- I'm just telling you what I know...
- Sure.

And what happened to me.

And I'm not the only person

that's experienced this
kind of stuff around here.

So there had to
have been something.

Something that we have no idea.

So, hey, where-where
did it come from?

- I would be asking the same question.
- You got it.

- Kris, this is amazing.
- Thank you so much.

We're here.

Once the sun had gone down,

it was time for tim and Chris
from nu-salt laser to come back.

We're gonna run more
experiments down at homestead two.

Guys, I think this
spot over here

is, kind of the best
place to set up.

Since numerous
credible witnesses

like colonel john Alexander
have claimed that they saw

actual portals and other
mysterious phenomena here,

we're eager to see what
happens when we poke

this nest with
high-powered lasers.

What I want to do
is-is kind of raster scan

back and forth right
here, up and down

to the treetops and
then back down.

And then at some
point, I want to get hit

right in there where those...
The doors and windows are

and just kind of bounce
back and forth with it that way.

- That make sense?
- It does. - Perfect.

All right, guys, if y'all
need anything, I'm gonna

help them set up the
other stuff. All right.

Sounds good.

I think the laser guys
are getting that going.

How's this going, Erik?

- Are you ready to roll on that whenever?
- I am.

Some of the scientists who
have worked here before

had descriptions of balls of
light... in other words, orbs...

As well as something that
is referred to as a "portal,"

of what would appear to
be a window opening up

and perhaps allowing
something to move in

and out of our space
through some other dimension.

All right, what about
the night vision?

- That's rolling now.
- Okay.

While Chris and tim
were deploying the lasers,

Erik was documenting everything
with a night vision camera

as well as a thermal camera.

He's looking for any
anomalies for us to focus on.

We're ready if you guys want
to come over and check it out.

- Yeah! Cool.
- Absolutely.

So, Chris is gonna set the zone.

So, I'm gonna
turn it on right now.

- Test pattern right there.
- Yes.

Seeing any reflection?

That's low power.

And I'll slowly bring it up.

I'm looking for it.

- Stuff everywhere.
- 60.

I'm not seeing anything
coming back on anything.

With these laser patterns, we're
looking for bends in the light.

Anything that might indicate
something strange is happening.

On skinwalker ranch,

you always have in
the back of your mind,

"what if a portal opened up
and a monster crawled out?

What if voices start
booming down from the sky?"

- let's do the one beam.
- One beam?

Yeah, the one beam
right through that doorway,

just to scan through
the door some.

- Okay.
- Stop in the middle

of the doorway. Go up and down.

Wait. Right there.

Yeah, yeah. There
you go. There you go.

You got it. Now go up. Yeah.

You know, is anybody watching

the-the thermographic
thing back there?

- Yeah, I gotcha.
- You seeing anything?

It's looking pretty
normal right now.

- Right there, there's not?
- Nope.

That's right where the phenomena
has occurred before, so...

Light must not be the trigger.

Or it's not the trigger tonight.

- Or it's not trigger tonight.
- Yeah.

I think, at the end of
the day, the trigger is

when it decides to open up,

it's gonna open up.

I think you might be right.

So, I think,

the-the thing to
do now, we're here,

let's, Let's just go
ahead and bring it down

and let's, take
the laser in there

and shine across the field

and see if we can hit
homestead three with it.

Okay.

I thought that we
should deploy the laser

from inside the old
house at homestead two,

pointing west towards
homestead three,

just to see if that might
trigger something to happen.

If the ranch really does
respond to different stimuli

like people believe it
does, then it's worth a shot.

So, if you'll take this
down, I'll get your cord

- across the canal and over there.
- Okay.

Get rid of these.

All right, guys, as we walk
down into the homestead area,

seriously, if you
smell anything funky,

feel anything funky,

'cause this is where
funky things happen.

Very good.

- Right here.
- That's a nice clean shot.

If we get about right here

I think

you'll hit the
homestead right there.

Do not turn it on
yet 'cause don't know

where everybody is yet.

So, I would love to be
up high watching this.

You guys okay if I...

As long as you don't get
downrange of the laser,

you should be fine.

If we stay up on the
north side of the canal...

You should... if you're
on that side of the road,

you're absolutely fine.

Whoa! Hey! Something get you?

Lightning strike?

Yeah, this is the third time
this has happened today.

- Yeah.
- Since we've been out here.

I don't know what's
setting this off.

Well, there's no
lightning, that's for sure.

I've been keeping the
lightning detector with me.

I've been using it as a kind
of canary to let me know

whether there are any
electrostatic discharges

taking place in the
immediate vicinity

of our team.

But it was brand-new
batteries, and I reset the thing

back at the command
center; It was fine.

Wow, that's odd.

Interesting.

I suppose one remote possibility

is that maybe some
of the equipment here

could be doing it, but I...

Nah, those are diode lasers.

There's no high...
High-voltage discharge there.

Hey, Kaleb, do you
copy over there?

10-4. Go ahead.

Are you seeing anything strange

or different on
the thermo image?

From what I'm seeing
right now, it looks like

you got a heat,
circle right above you.

I don't know how
to explain that.

Yeah. So, if you're gonna go

- across the road, I guess...
- Right now.

Let's go ahead and do it now.

Yeah, take this
radio with you, too.

Call us when you're in place,

- and then we'll turn the laser on.
- Okay.

Some kind of energy spike
was suddenly being detected

by erik's meter, so
who knows what it was?

But it made me think we
might be onto something.

So, while we stayed
near the homestead,

Erik and Thomas decided
to hike up the mesa

to keep watch
above the tree line,

in case something odd
was really happening.

So, tell 'em I'm waving
my flashlight at 'em,

so they know where we're at.

If you look up on the ridge,

just to the west,
northwest of your position,

you should see thomas's,

light on his phone so that
you know where we are.

Yeah, we're down here in
the canopy by the homestead.

We're... I don't think we're
gonna be able to see y'all.

Just stay-stay away
from the beam, right?

We can see them.

We are well off-axis.

All right, so

I say we put some
patterns on it.

Hey, Erik, how does that look?

What are we hitting
with that beam?

You're hitting one of the

Russian olive,
trees out in the field,

far south of the
actual homestead.

So, run that tube pattern.

The-the vortex pattern thing.

So, what I'd do is get it about
right in there somewhere.

Now bring it...

Hey, Travis, did you feel
that temperature drop?

I did and I sm

you smell something... Funny?

It's hard to
tell if it's just...

No, but-but, literally, I felt

I felt... it felt like a...
just instantly, right?

Yeah.

- It does feel cold.
- Yeah.

- Do you all feel that?
- I feel that.

It wasn't just cooler outside.

It was colder by about

ten degrees in that one isolated
spot there at homestead two.

It still... I still...
it's still going on.

- I still... it's still...
- Yeah, I can still feel it.

And coupled with the odd smell,

it wasn't something
I could explain.

Something strange
was definitely happening.

Whoa, there's a light down

- in those trees.
- Where?

There was a light
down in that...

- In the Russian olives down there.
- Okay.

Guys, please be advised,

Thomas has spotted a light
down in the Russian olives

off to the west

at the fence line.

Down the Russian olives

to the west at the
fence line. Back here.

Yes. As if someone
turned a flashlight on

- and off.
- -But where? Ask him where.

In the Russian olive
trees over there

- on the west side.
- All right,

I know where he's talking about.

I had a good look at it.

I was kind of looking in that
direction when it happened.

It should be right here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Right here!

It should be right-right
there, where he's talking.

It's over there
on the west side.

Right to the south of the tower.

Right there.

Down in the bottom,
as if someone

was standing below those trees.

Wait, wait. I thought I
saw something move.

I got eyes of something
over here, guys!

There it is, right there.

Where'd it go?

Ask if they still see it.

Where-where are
you seeing the light?

I don't see it now.

So we... let's go south,

- see if we can get a vantage.
- Yeah, I don't know.

At this point...

They'd be gone.

Yeah, at this
point, I don't think...

Anything, Thomas?

Yeah, I think it's gone.

Okay, well, we don't
see anything now,

so I think we'll head
back to the laser, guys.

Yeah, I don't see
it either. So I think

I'm gonna head down towards
you guys at the homestead.

I think that's a good idea.

I think we've done
what we can here,

and it's probably
getting late enough.

What was that
light that was there?

And why was it happening
while we're in there

doing an experiment
with these lasers?

- Hey, guys.
- Well, you got my adrenaline pumping.

Well, for sure, there
was a light I saw.

I mean, it looked just like a...

Kind of a yellowish,
amber-ish...

Like if someone took a
flashlight and turned it on...

Yeah.

And off real quick. I mean...

W-well, I-I think there
was some-something,

somebody or something out there.

I wasn't sure if it
was eyes or if it was,

like, a-a flashlight
reflector or something.

So, from my perspective, I mean,

obviously, with the-the
distance, it's hard to say.

But from where we were
standing up by that telephone pole

down to the trees, I
mean, it probably looked

like it was about
that big around.

Travis saw something.
I saw something.

It is concerning that
somebody was down there,

or at least I hope
it was a somebody.

With all of the instruments
that we had recording tonight,

there is a mountain
of data to go through.

Should we help these
guys get packed up and...

Yeah.

Let's get packed up. Let's
get everything back in the jeep

and let's head back
to the command center.

- Yeah, thank you. - All right.
- Thanks for having us.

Given the fact that
we've heard stories

of portals opening

and strange beings opening
up near homestead two,

Could this have been

a portal opening up and
something from somewhere else

coming to see us while
we're doing this experiment?

The previous scientific team
that investigated the property

ended up encountering
all sorts of strangeness.

Everything from cattle
mutilations to ufos

to portals that would open
up above the old homesteads.

A lot of the things that we're
observing at skinwalker ranch

defy our current
understanding of physics.

We don't know yet if we'll find

mundane scientific explanations

for all the strange events
that keep happening

or if the truth really is
much more disturbing.

All I know for sure is that
we need to keep exploring

and experimenting
until we find the answer.

We're gonna get a 3-d
model of homestead two.

- Got some stuff to show you.
- Something odd happened here.

When you walked
inside the building,

it didn't take any data.

I do sense a presence here.

The temperature around
the homestead began to drop.

Hey, are you guys
seeing anything?

We're looking at an eye.

This ground here is the gateway

- for skinwalkers.
- What I saw doesn't belong here.

- I'm a little nervous. Hold on.
- Hey.
