00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,167
THOMAS: If we were to come in
and dig again,
2
00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:04,792
would we get any response?
3
00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:06,208
Where you dig
makes a difference.
4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,833
-(rattling)
-(engine stops)
5
00:00:08,958 --> 00:00:10,250
It's got a dead battery.
6
00:00:10,375 --> 00:00:12,958
ERIK:
What the actual hell is this?
7
00:00:13,083 --> 00:00:14,750
-You got to get those people
out of there.
-Okay.
8
00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:17,000
BRYANT:
There was a spike at 3400.
9
00:00:17,125 --> 00:00:18,958
Everybody out of here, now.
10
00:00:21,375 --> 00:00:24,083
Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?
11
00:00:24,208 --> 00:00:26,167
I'm not broadcasting.
12
00:00:26,292 --> 00:00:27,333
TRAVIS:
That's a communication
signal or something.
13
00:00:27,417 --> 00:00:29,917
This is out of
the carriage house.
14
00:00:30,042 --> 00:00:31,125
BRYANT:
What the hell is that?
15
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:32,667
You captured a UAP on camera.
16
00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:38,000
NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.
17
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:40,708
It is considered the epicenter
18
00:00:40,833 --> 00:00:45,417
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
19
00:00:45,542 --> 00:00:47,833
animal mutilations,
20
00:00:47,917 --> 00:00:50,292
bizarre UFO sightings
21
00:00:50,375 --> 00:00:55,375
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
22
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,917
For 20 years,
the federal government
23
00:00:58,042 --> 00:01:01,167
tried to find answers
and failed.
24
00:01:01,333 --> 00:01:05,083
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
25
00:01:05,208 --> 00:01:08,833
researchers and experts
has taken over.
26
00:01:08,958 --> 00:01:13,250
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
27
00:01:16,333 --> 00:01:19,083
...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
28
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:29,000
How's it going, Chris?
29
00:01:29,083 --> 00:01:30,625
-Hey, Kaleb. How's it going?
-Good, good.
30
00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:31,875
TRAVIS: To help us
with our ongoing investigation
31
00:01:32,042 --> 00:01:33,667
of Skinwalker Ranch,
32
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:36,292
we've been trying to engage
as many people as possible
33
00:01:36,375 --> 00:01:38,250
who took part
in the previous operations
34
00:01:38,375 --> 00:01:40,167
over the last two decades.
35
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:42,042
What's it like coming back?
36
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:43,667
It's pretty surreal, actually,
you know.
37
00:01:43,792 --> 00:01:46,208
It's kind of like being back
home a little bit, you know.
38
00:01:47,667 --> 00:01:50,292
TRAVIS:
Chris Bartel
is a former military officer
39
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:52,417
who was contracted
by Robert Bigelow
40
00:01:52,542 --> 00:01:54,542
and the Defense
Intelligence Agency
41
00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:56,000
when they were
investigating Skinwalker Ranch
42
00:01:56,167 --> 00:01:57,667
several years ago.
43
00:01:57,792 --> 00:01:59,667
We used to have trouble
getting guys like him
44
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:02,292
to share anything about
what they've seen out here.
45
00:02:02,417 --> 00:02:04,833
Well, it's an "it"
that's in control.
46
00:02:06,583 --> 00:02:08,583
TRAVIS:
But after last week's visit by
another former Bigelow employee,
47
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:10,417
Colonel John Alexander,
48
00:02:10,542 --> 00:02:13,208
and the federal government's
report last year
49
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:15,167
acknowledging
the existence of UAPs,
50
00:02:15,292 --> 00:02:17,792
it's like the floodgates
have finally opened up.
51
00:02:18,792 --> 00:02:21,458
I know, a couple years ago,
I was worried about, you know,
52
00:02:21,583 --> 00:02:23,375
maybe possibly losing
a clearance talking about
53
00:02:23,542 --> 00:02:25,000
some of the experiences
I had here on the property.
54
00:02:25,083 --> 00:02:26,792
Losing a clearance as far as?
55
00:02:26,875 --> 00:02:28,500
-Like a security clearance?
-Right, it was a concern
56
00:02:28,583 --> 00:02:29,667
'cause, you know,
I'm still active
57
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:30,833
in the federal department,
58
00:02:30,958 --> 00:02:32,292
I'm still operating and, uh,
59
00:02:32,417 --> 00:02:34,750
now it's more of a
mainstream topic, it seems like.
60
00:02:35,708 --> 00:02:37,333
I was
a BAASS Security Investigator
61
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,208
for Bigelow Aerospace
for Skinwalker Ranch
62
00:02:39,375 --> 00:02:42,417
from the years 2010 to 2016.
63
00:02:42,542 --> 00:02:44,708
BAASS stands for
Bigelow Aerospace
64
00:02:44,833 --> 00:02:46,167
Advanced Space Studies.
65
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,292
It was the organization
to study UFO phenomena.
66
00:02:50,375 --> 00:02:53,625
This is also during the time
of the federal contract, AAWSAP.
67
00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:55,958
AAWSAP stands for
Advanced Aerospace
68
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:58,500
Weapon Systems
Applications Program.
69
00:02:58,625 --> 00:03:00,333
I was one of
the lead members out here.
70
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,500
I spent lots of time exploring,
documenting data
71
00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:05,333
and also safekeeping
and protecting the property.
72
00:03:05,458 --> 00:03:07,667
I have a lot of
experiences out here.
73
00:03:07,792 --> 00:03:09,833
You know, I lived and breathed
this property for six years.
74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,333
I would love to show you guys
75
00:03:11,458 --> 00:03:13,583
some of the things
that I went through
76
00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:15,333
and important aspects
of the property.
77
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,083
THOMAS:
Well, I'm eager to do that.
78
00:03:17,208 --> 00:03:19,042
I think we throw you
in the UTV right here,
79
00:03:19,208 --> 00:03:21,500
and let's start across,
because I-I want to hear
80
00:03:21,667 --> 00:03:23,000
-everything that happened.
-That sounds, that sounds good.
81
00:03:23,083 --> 00:03:24,250
-Okay.
-I appreciate it.
82
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:27,167
THOMAS:
We have this 20-year gap
83
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:29,167
where Mr. Bigelow
owned the ranch
84
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,458
for which we know very little.
85
00:03:31,542 --> 00:03:33,667
I think somebody
that spent six years here,
86
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:35,667
and spent a lot of time
during that six years,
87
00:03:35,792 --> 00:03:39,583
is critical and could be crucial
to helping us solve
88
00:03:39,708 --> 00:03:41,375
some of the mysteries
that are here on the ranch.
89
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:43,083
CHRIS:
Yeah. Right here.
90
00:03:43,208 --> 00:03:44,750
This is the spot.
91
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:46,167
Let's park here, then.
92
00:03:50,542 --> 00:03:54,083
I find it interesting
that you, uh, stop us here.
93
00:03:54,208 --> 00:03:56,958
This is by a place
we call the triangle.
94
00:03:58,250 --> 00:03:59,833
Been a place we've done
a lot of experiments
95
00:03:59,958 --> 00:04:02,250
and research and had a lot of
interesting data.
96
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,833
So, I'm curious, tell me
about what you experienced here.
97
00:04:04,958 --> 00:04:09,250
So, October of 2010,
we had a pretty good routine
98
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:10,833
where one guy would do
a normal run
99
00:04:10,958 --> 00:04:13,667
through the property to get
kind of eyes on what's going on.
100
00:04:13,792 --> 00:04:16,167
That day,
the other officer came back,
101
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:18,167
and he was like,
"Hey, I found some big prints
102
00:04:18,292 --> 00:04:19,333
on top of the mesa."
103
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:22,583
And I'm like, "Okay,
let's go take a look at them."
104
00:04:22,708 --> 00:04:24,667
We get to the top of here,
and we find these gi--
105
00:04:24,792 --> 00:04:27,375
these pretty good-sized
canine prints.
106
00:04:28,583 --> 00:04:30,708
I have photos of those,
if you'd like to see them.
107
00:04:30,833 --> 00:04:32,500
-Yeah, I'd love to see those.
-CHRIS: Sure.
108
00:04:32,625 --> 00:04:34,125
Here. Take a look at this.
You can see here...
109
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:35,625
Look at those,
look how deep those go down.
110
00:04:38,292 --> 00:04:40,333
-KALEB: Look at that.
-THOMAS: Oh, my gosh.
111
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:42,917
So, that's about three feet
between step?
112
00:04:43,042 --> 00:04:45,083
CHRIS:
Mm-hmm.
113
00:04:45,208 --> 00:04:47,583
And then, we had
a couple labs with us.
114
00:04:47,708 --> 00:04:50,833
You can see here in the top
corner, the labs' prints.
115
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:53,167
KALEB:
That thing's like four times
the size of those.
116
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:54,333
That's a very big canine.
117
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:56,875
KALEB:
Seeing this picture,
118
00:04:57,042 --> 00:05:00,167
you could tell by both
the size and the stride
119
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:02,500
that we're talking about
a very large animal.
120
00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:04,917
It makes me think about
the legend of the skinwalker.
121
00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:08,208
The legend of the skinwalker is
122
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:10,375
that it's an entity
that can shape-shift.
123
00:05:10,542 --> 00:05:14,833
Often, the lore is having it
go from a wolf to a man.
124
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,167
For whatever reason,
this piece of ground
125
00:05:18,292 --> 00:05:21,375
was cursed with the skinwalker.
126
00:05:22,458 --> 00:05:24,292
I was here, the other officer
was right there,
127
00:05:24,417 --> 00:05:26,000
and the dogs were kind of
in between us.
128
00:05:26,167 --> 00:05:29,750
And the other officer says,
"Chris, stop. I hear something."
129
00:05:29,875 --> 00:05:32,583
And I'll-I'll never forget this,
because it has been replaying
130
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:35,000
in my mind forever
since this day.
131
00:05:35,125 --> 00:05:37,125
Out of that ditch,
132
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:41,417
I hear a God-awful, guttural,
howl growl.
133
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,458
And I was, like,
frozen for a second.
134
00:05:45,542 --> 00:05:48,208
So was the other officer
and the dogs were all alerting.
135
00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:51,333
The animal jumps out
of the ravine
136
00:05:51,458 --> 00:05:54,625
over the berm and travels west.
137
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:57,500
This thing was probably
the size of a donkey, black.
138
00:05:57,625 --> 00:06:00,000
Instinctively,
the dogs chase after it.
139
00:06:00,167 --> 00:06:01,167
I run after the dogs.
140
00:06:01,292 --> 00:06:03,083
We get around that corner there.
141
00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:04,750
It's-it's gone.
142
00:06:04,875 --> 00:06:05,833
THOMAS:
Wow.
143
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:09,417
I can understand why
Chris was hesitant to share
144
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:11,417
some of these stories.
145
00:06:11,542 --> 00:06:13,333
If I had heard this
on day one of the ranch,
146
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,958
I would have dismissed Chris.
147
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:18,750
But after spending five years
here on the ranch, uh...
148
00:06:18,875 --> 00:06:21,083
I-I find myself believing
his story.
149
00:06:21,208 --> 00:06:23,583
Did you come back and look for
tracks the next day, I imagine?
150
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:25,042
CHRIS:
The next day we came back.
151
00:06:25,208 --> 00:06:26,333
We followed the ditch.
152
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:28,000
We really didn't find
any tracks.
153
00:06:28,083 --> 00:06:30,333
But there was an area
I found on this mesa slope,
154
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:33,167
and it led to this open cavity.
155
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:34,458
Uh, it looked like a cave.
156
00:06:36,208 --> 00:06:37,417
So, I jumped down into it.
157
00:06:37,542 --> 00:06:38,958
I look around, and it's a,
158
00:06:39,083 --> 00:06:41,125
uh, a decent-size open cavity,
159
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:42,917
but inside the cavern,
I pulled out
160
00:06:43,042 --> 00:06:45,375
two old canine traps.
161
00:06:46,958 --> 00:06:48,708
So, anytime somebody says
the word "cave"
162
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,125
or "cavern" here,
163
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:51,417
-it catches our attention.
-Right.
164
00:06:51,542 --> 00:06:53,083
-You think it's still there?
-Yeah.
165
00:06:53,208 --> 00:06:55,167
-You mind taking us there to it?
-Absolutely, let's go.
166
00:06:55,292 --> 00:06:56,708
All right.
167
00:07:02,625 --> 00:07:04,625
TRAVIS: I find it interesting
that this DJ said
168
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:07,333
they were picking up
some kind of weird signal.
169
00:07:07,458 --> 00:07:08,750
Yeah, that's the part
that got my attention.
170
00:07:08,875 --> 00:07:10,583
You know, normally when
you think about a radio station,
171
00:07:10,708 --> 00:07:14,458
you think of them broadcasting
but not receiving anything,
172
00:07:14,542 --> 00:07:16,083
so I'm surprised
that they're vigilant
173
00:07:16,208 --> 00:07:17,583
to any incoming signals.
174
00:07:18,583 --> 00:07:20,542
Well, I can't wait to hear
what they say.
175
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:25,667
Ranch caretakers
Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde
176
00:07:25,792 --> 00:07:28,333
let me and Erik know that
a local radio station nearby
177
00:07:28,417 --> 00:07:29,958
reached out to them about
178
00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:31,792
a really strange frequency
interference
179
00:07:31,875 --> 00:07:34,958
that's been jamming
their system and it sounds
180
00:07:35,042 --> 00:07:38,208
just like what we experienced
last week on Skinwalker Ranch.
181
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,250
Hey! hey, hey, hey, hey,
it's here.
182
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:43,375
We've got that 1.6 thing.
183
00:07:43,542 --> 00:07:45,583
During a lot of
the experiments we've done
184
00:07:45,708 --> 00:07:48,958
to stimulate different
phenomena, including UAPs,
185
00:07:49,083 --> 00:07:52,458
Erik has detected a huge
radio frequency energy spike
186
00:07:52,542 --> 00:07:55,500
of 1.6 gigahertz
on the spectrum analyzer.
187
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:58,417
And last week, we detected it
after launching a rocket
188
00:07:58,542 --> 00:07:59,667
out by Homestead Two.
189
00:07:59,792 --> 00:08:02,792
-(radio static)
-1.60000.
190
00:08:02,875 --> 00:08:06,792
But this time a mysterious sound
came through with it.
191
00:08:06,917 --> 00:08:09,167
-You want to try
and listen to it?
-ERIK: Yeah.
192
00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:11,583
(radio static, faint squealing)
193
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:18,083
I swear that sounds
like a communication signal.
194
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,083
So, here we are.
195
00:08:22,208 --> 00:08:24,375
So, when we heard that
a potentially similar signal
196
00:08:24,542 --> 00:08:25,667
was occurring
at a radio station
197
00:08:25,833 --> 00:08:28,000
ten miles away in Roosevelt,
198
00:08:28,125 --> 00:08:30,375
we definitely wanted to meet
with the station manager
199
00:08:30,542 --> 00:08:33,167
and DJ, Jenn Rook.
200
00:08:33,333 --> 00:08:35,250
-Hi!
-Hey, I'm Travis.
201
00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:36,417
-Hi, I'm Jenn.
-Nice to meet you, Jenn.
202
00:08:36,542 --> 00:08:38,292
You, too.
203
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:40,250
We wanted to see
if it could be related
204
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:41,667
to the strange
communication signal
205
00:08:41,792 --> 00:08:43,542
we've detected
on Skinwalker Ranch.
206
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:46,750
So, we hear you've been
having some weird signals
207
00:08:46,875 --> 00:08:48,208
or interference
with your radio station.
208
00:08:48,375 --> 00:08:50,125
Some interference for sure
209
00:08:50,208 --> 00:08:52,750
and just some other
weird anomalies that happen.
210
00:08:54,833 --> 00:08:57,042
You're talking about
interferences, is it keeping you
211
00:08:57,167 --> 00:08:59,333
from being able to operate
at certain times, or...?
212
00:08:59,458 --> 00:09:02,125
-I livestream online,
and it keeps it from operating.
-TRAVIS: Really?
213
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,667
Like, the online stream was
just absolute fuzz.
214
00:09:04,792 --> 00:09:07,500
It was just
cutting out everything.
215
00:09:07,667 --> 00:09:09,542
It was just
such an interruption.
216
00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:12,833
-You couldn't hear
the radio station online.
-Wow.
217
00:09:12,958 --> 00:09:16,500
So, if I was listening
to your station,
218
00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:20,500
and I hear, uh,
some kind of a problem,
219
00:09:20,583 --> 00:09:22,208
-JENN: Mm-hmm.
-I would expect to hear what?
220
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:24,125
Static? Strange tones?
221
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:26,250
Signals that don't belong
in your signal stream?
222
00:09:26,375 --> 00:09:27,875
What would I hear?
223
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Uh, I mean, you could
probably hear any of that.
224
00:09:31,083 --> 00:09:33,792
-Wow.
-You know, we've heard
some weird stuff,
225
00:09:33,875 --> 00:09:36,542
and we see weird signals
at the ranch
226
00:09:36,667 --> 00:09:38,917
that we can't figure out
where they're coming from,
227
00:09:39,042 --> 00:09:41,125
and we've found this one that
seems to be repeating
228
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:44,083
around here all the time,
near 1.6 gigahertz.
229
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:46,500
Travis, can you bring that up
and play it?
230
00:09:46,625 --> 00:09:48,833
Yeah. I believe it's this one
right here.
231
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:50,083
Mm-hmm.
232
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:51,667
(static, squealing)
233
00:09:54,542 --> 00:09:57,833
You know, I've heard
something similar to this
234
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,167
along with all of
the fuzz that I get
235
00:10:00,292 --> 00:10:01,208
that I know is interference.
236
00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:04,167
-Really?
-JENN: Yeah.
237
00:10:04,292 --> 00:10:05,667
There's something not right,
238
00:10:05,792 --> 00:10:08,417
and I've had people look at it
and try to fix it,
239
00:10:08,542 --> 00:10:12,125
-but it's a signal that
is not supposed to be there.
-Wow.
240
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:14,667
TRAVIS:
After we verified
that Jenn believed that
241
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:17,583
the 1.6 gigahertz communication
signal from the ranch
242
00:10:17,708 --> 00:10:19,833
was very similar to the one
243
00:10:19,958 --> 00:10:21,875
that's been coming through
the radio station,
244
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,792
it made both
Erik and I think that
245
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:26,625
maybe we could use it
to try to communicate back
246
00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:28,875
to whoever sent it
in the first place.
247
00:10:29,042 --> 00:10:32,958
Uh, we couldn't, by any chance,
talk you into maybe broadcasting
248
00:10:33,083 --> 00:10:35,000
this strange signal
that we've picked up?
249
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:36,417
-Uh...
-And see if we'll
detect something
250
00:10:36,542 --> 00:10:38,417
with our instruments
when you do.
251
00:10:38,542 --> 00:10:41,250
Are we poking a bear here,
or...?
252
00:10:41,375 --> 00:10:43,500
-(laughs)
-Well-well,
the expression that I use is
253
00:10:43,583 --> 00:10:46,167
one my grandmother taught me and
it's "poking the hornets' nest."
254
00:10:46,292 --> 00:10:47,583
-And-and so...
-Okay, let's do it.
Let's poke that hornets' nest.
255
00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:48,833
Let's see if
any hornets fly out, right?
256
00:10:48,917 --> 00:10:50,292
All right, let's do it.
257
00:10:55,917 --> 00:10:57,333
So, we have some equipment
outside, in the car,
258
00:10:58,583 --> 00:10:59,667
we'll run out,give us
we'll get it set up,
259
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:01,042
-and running.
-Okay. Yeah, let's do it.
260
00:11:01,167 --> 00:11:02,792
So we'll got set up
the equipment.
261
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:04,083
I'll be right back
and tell you when we're ready.
262
00:11:04,208 --> 00:11:05,000
-All right, sounds good.
-All right. Thank you.
263
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:06,500
After Jenn Rook,
264
00:11:06,625 --> 00:11:08,917
the station manager at Jack FM,
265
00:11:09,042 --> 00:11:12,125
told us that the 1.6 gigahertz
communication signal
266
00:11:12,208 --> 00:11:13,792
that we've detected
on Skinwalker Ranch
267
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:16,375
sounded similar to
what's been interfering
268
00:11:16,542 --> 00:11:18,708
with her station's broadcasts,
269
00:11:18,833 --> 00:11:21,083
we convinced her
to let us run an experiment.
270
00:11:21,208 --> 00:11:23,083
I'm going to go ahead
and start the Jeep
271
00:11:23,208 --> 00:11:25,458
-and tune in
to the radio station.
-Perfect.
272
00:11:25,583 --> 00:11:28,833
TARVIS: The idea was to play
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
273
00:11:28,958 --> 00:11:30,500
over her airwaves...
274
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:33,083
All right.
I got the radio station up.
275
00:11:33,208 --> 00:11:35,083
...while Erik and I set up
an antenna
276
00:11:35,208 --> 00:11:37,708
with our spectrum analyzer
in the parking lot
277
00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:40,042
so we could monitor
the broadcast
278
00:11:40,167 --> 00:11:42,792
for anything strange
that might happen in response.
279
00:11:42,875 --> 00:11:44,958
All right, I think
that's good right there.
280
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:46,875
All right.
281
00:11:47,042 --> 00:11:49,833
I'm interested in
watching the RF spectrum
282
00:11:49,958 --> 00:11:51,708
through our spectrum analyzer.
283
00:11:51,833 --> 00:11:52,792
I got really high hopes
that we're going to see
284
00:11:52,917 --> 00:11:54,208
something unusual.
285
00:11:54,333 --> 00:11:56,042
So, I'm-a go in
and tell her we're ready.
286
00:11:56,167 --> 00:11:57,708
All right.
287
00:11:57,833 --> 00:11:59,792
Hey, Jenn. Yeah,
we've got our equipment set up
288
00:11:59,875 --> 00:12:01,708
in the parking lot,
so whenever you're okay
289
00:12:01,875 --> 00:12:03,458
to broadcast the signal,
we're watching.
290
00:12:03,583 --> 00:12:06,333
-All right. Ready.
-All right. Cool. Thanks.
291
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:12,167
All right, Erik.
She's about to broadcast it.
292
00:12:12,292 --> 00:12:14,292
-All right.
-JENN: Hey there, everybody.
293
00:12:14,375 --> 00:12:16,333
Just a little interruption
in the music right now.
294
00:12:16,417 --> 00:12:18,708
We're doing a few tests
here at the studios,
295
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:19,875
and, uh, you know what?
296
00:12:20,042 --> 00:12:22,042
I'm going to play
something here.
297
00:12:22,167 --> 00:12:24,542
And if you've heard this,
you can always give me a call
298
00:12:24,708 --> 00:12:25,958
here at the studios
299
00:12:26,042 --> 00:12:27,542
(over radio):
and let me know.
300
00:12:27,667 --> 00:12:29,250
This is just a test, everybody.
301
00:12:31,333 --> 00:12:33,125
(static, crackling)
302
00:12:37,042 --> 00:12:40,333
(frequency crackling)
303
00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:42,250
♪ ♪
304
00:12:44,292 --> 00:12:46,333
There it is.
305
00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:50,292
Wow. It really changed
the waveform big time.
306
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:53,083
Look at how the waveforms
are reacting to it there.
307
00:12:53,208 --> 00:12:55,375
You see that?
Watch right here.
308
00:12:57,667 --> 00:13:01,292
When a FM radio station
broadcasts music or anything
309
00:13:01,375 --> 00:13:04,042
over the airwaves,
the frequency always has
310
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:07,000
a constant
and uniform pattern.
311
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,833
You shouldn't see
any deviation in it
312
00:13:08,958 --> 00:13:10,875
no matter what the sound is.
313
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,625
But as soon as Jenn
started broadcasting the sound
314
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:15,833
from our 1.6 gigahertz signal,
315
00:13:15,958 --> 00:13:18,125
the station's frequency
began showing strange,
316
00:13:18,208 --> 00:13:19,583
sporadic spikes.
317
00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:21,417
Now, that shouldn't be possible.
318
00:13:21,542 --> 00:13:23,375
So, it really made us wonder
319
00:13:23,542 --> 00:13:25,500
if our experiment
might stimulate
320
00:13:25,583 --> 00:13:28,125
something strange out here
in the Basin community.
321
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:30,250
And, if so,
would it be anything
322
00:13:30,375 --> 00:13:32,917
like the phenomena we've seen
on Skinwalker Ranch?
323
00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:37,542
This has just been a test,
everybody.
324
00:13:37,667 --> 00:13:39,583
Thanks for listening. I'll put
you back to the music now.
325
00:13:39,708 --> 00:13:41,917
I'm Jenn Rook.
326
00:13:43,167 --> 00:13:44,625
All right, well, I say
we go tell her what we saw.
327
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:46,042
Yeah. Let's go follow up.
328
00:13:47,208 --> 00:13:49,208
I wonder what the locals thought
that was listening to
329
00:13:49,333 --> 00:13:50,667
-the radio station.
-Oh, my gosh.
330
00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:51,750
(Erik chuckles)
331
00:13:51,875 --> 00:13:53,375
TRAVIS:
Wow.
332
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:55,833
That was pretty cool.
Thank you for that.
333
00:13:55,917 --> 00:13:58,750
Yeah, we, uh, were
watching the spectrum
334
00:13:58,875 --> 00:14:02,667
all around your signal
and when you were broadcasting,
335
00:14:02,792 --> 00:14:06,458
the, uh,
the waveform actually changed.
336
00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:09,000
Normally it has a certain shape,
337
00:14:09,167 --> 00:14:12,708
-Mm-hmm.
-and when you started
that signal,
338
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:15,000
it changed to something
completely different.
339
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:17,000
-Hmm.
-TRAVIS: It was really odd.
340
00:14:17,125 --> 00:14:19,792
Now,
the interesting question is...
341
00:14:19,917 --> 00:14:22,333
-if there's
any kind of response...
-Oh, yeah.
342
00:14:22,417 --> 00:14:25,583
...what form will it take and
how will we find out about it?
343
00:14:25,708 --> 00:14:26,792
Yeah, if anybody calls you
and says,
344
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:28,250
"Hey, what was
that weird thing?"
345
00:14:28,375 --> 00:14:29,708
Or "I had a headache
when that was going,"
346
00:14:29,833 --> 00:14:31,500
-you know, or whatever.
-JENN: Yeah.
347
00:14:31,583 --> 00:14:32,875
-Okay.
-TRAVIS: Especially if someone
happens to see
348
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,208
a UFO or UAP,
or something strange
349
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:38,125
in the sky, anything at all,
please let us know.
350
00:14:38,208 --> 00:14:41,333
-Okay.
-You may be able to
provide some information
351
00:14:41,458 --> 00:14:43,292
that's very helpful to
our research going on,
352
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:45,042
-so thank you
for accommodating us today.
-All right.
353
00:14:45,167 --> 00:14:47,167
-Oh, yeah, anytime.
-It was great to meet you.
354
00:14:47,292 --> 00:14:48,833
-You, too.
-Yeah. Thank you very much.
355
00:14:48,958 --> 00:14:50,500
JENN:
Thanks, guys.
356
00:14:53,375 --> 00:14:56,958
CHRIS: So, it's gonna be
in this little area right here,
357
00:14:57,083 --> 00:14:59,458
where I was walking down
from the top of the mesa
358
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:01,875
and I found a cave.
359
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,375
THOMAS:
Over the years that
I have been here on the ranch,
360
00:15:04,542 --> 00:15:08,125
there's been rampant rumors
about underground bases,
361
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:10,917
of tunnels, all kinds of
underground things
362
00:15:11,042 --> 00:15:12,333
here at the ranch.
363
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:15,042
If there are some,
we definitely want to find them.
364
00:15:15,167 --> 00:15:17,833
I just happened to notice it
from on top.
365
00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:20,125
Then I-I suggest maybe
we just all climb up there
366
00:15:20,208 --> 00:15:21,583
-and see if we can find it.
-CHRIS: Yeah.
367
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:23,542
♪ ♪
368
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,167
Hey, I found
what looks like to be a cavern.
369
00:15:39,292 --> 00:15:40,667
CHRIS:
Let me take a look.
370
00:15:43,833 --> 00:15:46,083
Oh, yeah.
371
00:15:46,208 --> 00:15:49,000
I'm pretty sure this is it,
or it-it looks like it.
372
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:52,958
THOMAS:
You can tell that at one time
it was a lot larger.
373
00:15:53,042 --> 00:15:55,333
And it's collapsed down
in on itself.
374
00:15:55,417 --> 00:15:56,875
CHRIS:
You can tell
that this whole area
375
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,375
looks like a sunken-in area.
376
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,583
-THOMAS: Like it caved in. Yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.
377
00:16:00,708 --> 00:16:03,208
It's so strange.
378
00:16:03,375 --> 00:16:07,125
THOMAS:
If this is the opening
to that cave that Chris found,
379
00:16:07,208 --> 00:16:09,875
did it collapse?
Is it still there?
380
00:16:10,042 --> 00:16:13,000
Does it continue back,
and it's just covered by rocks?
381
00:16:13,125 --> 00:16:15,000
Definitely a lot of
unanswered questions.
382
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:16,792
There's been one consistent
thing I've heard
383
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:18,875
since I've been here on the
ranch for the last five years
384
00:16:19,042 --> 00:16:21,542
and that's there is
a system of tunnels
385
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:22,958
that goes throughout the ranch.
386
00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:26,208
We've got reports of
UFO flying into the mesa,
387
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:27,542
that we have people
that think that
388
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:29,167
there's underground bases here.
389
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:31,000
We've yet to find it.
Who knows?
390
00:16:31,083 --> 00:16:33,917
Maybe this is the entrance
or maybe this is a way in,
391
00:16:34,042 --> 00:16:35,708
and, uh, I'm all
for figuring out
392
00:16:35,875 --> 00:16:37,542
a safe way to explore this more.
393
00:16:37,667 --> 00:16:40,750
Well, I'm ready to head down
if you guys are.
394
00:16:40,875 --> 00:16:43,083
-I appreciate you showing us,
Chris.
-Hey, no problem, man.
395
00:16:45,583 --> 00:16:47,500
There's multiple layers
to this property.
396
00:16:47,625 --> 00:16:50,833
I think what's going on here
is bigger than any of us here.
397
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:53,167
It's bigger than
a science experiment.
398
00:16:53,292 --> 00:16:55,167
It's bigger than
a government contract.
399
00:16:55,292 --> 00:16:57,167
It's bigger than all of us.
400
00:16:57,292 --> 00:17:00,042
How else can I explain
some of this stuff
401
00:17:00,167 --> 00:17:01,458
throughout all those years?
402
00:17:01,542 --> 00:17:03,667
THOMAS:
Okay, we got our GPS data.
403
00:17:03,833 --> 00:17:05,500
We know where it's at.
404
00:17:05,583 --> 00:17:07,208
Let's get out of here.
405
00:17:16,875 --> 00:17:18,500
Hey, there's Jim.
406
00:17:19,708 --> 00:17:21,208
-Hello, guys.
-ERIK and TRAVIS: Hey, Jim.
407
00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:23,292
-What's going on?
-JIM: Good to see you.
408
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,000
The day after Erik
and I conducted our experiment
409
00:17:26,125 --> 00:17:29,000
at Jack FM,
ranch manager Jim Morse
410
00:17:29,125 --> 00:17:31,583
showed up to share
something pretty crazy with us.
411
00:17:31,708 --> 00:17:33,958
Been doing a little outreach.
412
00:17:34,083 --> 00:17:36,458
I had a guy that, uh,
sent me some videos.
413
00:17:36,583 --> 00:17:38,583
-TRAVIS: This is local?
-This is local.
414
00:17:38,708 --> 00:17:41,208
-Oh.
-Yeah, so,
maybe I can show you these,
415
00:17:41,375 --> 00:17:43,167
and you can make heads or tails
out of them.
416
00:17:43,292 --> 00:17:45,292
What are we looking at here?
417
00:17:45,417 --> 00:17:47,000
-I guess it's these lights
right here.
-JIM: Mm-hmm.
418
00:17:47,083 --> 00:17:50,042
(indistinct chatter)
419
00:17:50,167 --> 00:17:52,000
TRAVIS:
Where did this come from?
420
00:17:52,125 --> 00:17:53,542
Is this from
the community nearby?
421
00:17:53,708 --> 00:17:55,333
JIM:
Yeah, this is from the community
out here in the basin.
422
00:17:55,458 --> 00:17:56,833
-TRAVIS: Uh-huh.
-JIM: Um...
423
00:17:56,958 --> 00:17:59,667
I mean, there was people
from Moon Lake,
424
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:01,833
-miles away,
that saw the lights.
-Really?
425
00:18:01,958 --> 00:18:03,667
Well, you know, looking at that,
426
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:05,125
first I thought it was stars,
427
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:06,708
-but look, look, they're moving.
-Yeah.
428
00:18:09,458 --> 00:18:10,917
TARVIS:
Look at that.
429
00:18:11,042 --> 00:18:12,458
ERIK:
Wow.
430
00:18:15,125 --> 00:18:16,958
Jim, when was this video taken?
431
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:19,250
Last night, about 8:00 p.m.
432
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:20,667
TRAVIS: Really?
That's just a few hours
433
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:21,958
after we played
that sound on the radio, Erik.
434
00:18:22,042 --> 00:18:23,167
No kidding.
435
00:18:23,292 --> 00:18:24,667
It definitely stirred up
436
00:18:24,833 --> 00:18:26,333
a lot of interest out here.
437
00:18:26,458 --> 00:18:27,375
Look, and in the next video,
they're in
438
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:28,917
completely different kind of...
439
00:18:29,042 --> 00:18:30,417
-They've moved a bunch.
-JIM: Yeah.
440
00:18:30,542 --> 00:18:31,917
TRAVIS:
And there's a bunch.
441
00:18:32,042 --> 00:18:33,458
There's, like,
four or five of them.
442
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:37,917
-ERIK: Wow.
-TRAVIS: Well,
that is interesting.
443
00:18:38,042 --> 00:18:39,292
It's like some kind of formation
444
00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:40,667
of the lights,
they're doing something.
445
00:18:40,833 --> 00:18:43,000
Now, if we actually stimulated
446
00:18:43,167 --> 00:18:45,375
these UAP to appear
by broadcasting
447
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:47,417
the sound from
our 1.6 gigahertz signal
448
00:18:47,542 --> 00:18:50,500
out to Roosevelt,
that's incredible.
449
00:18:50,583 --> 00:18:52,667
They definitely didn't look like
any conventional aircraft
450
00:18:52,792 --> 00:18:54,167
I've ever seen.
451
00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:55,875
-It looks like five lights.
-Mm-hmm.
452
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,833
What on earth?
453
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,667
They're clearly moving.
454
00:18:59,792 --> 00:19:01,167
They're flying,
455
00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:03,042
and I don't see
any airplane navigation lights.
456
00:19:03,167 --> 00:19:04,792
JIM:
No, I didn't either.
I didn't either.
457
00:19:04,917 --> 00:19:06,333
-ERIK: I couldn't see
a single blink.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
458
00:19:06,417 --> 00:19:08,000
-I don't know what that is.
-JIM: Yeah.
459
00:19:08,083 --> 00:19:10,250
I got to tell you, though,
it's intriguing.
460
00:19:10,375 --> 00:19:12,042
Yeah, I-I want to pick this
apart frame by frame.
461
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:14,708
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Let me take a look at this.
462
00:19:14,875 --> 00:19:17,000
I've never seen a pattern
463
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:19,875
of this many mysterious lights
in the sky,
464
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,250
after any of our activities.
465
00:19:21,375 --> 00:19:22,292
-You know, usually we see one.
-One.
466
00:19:22,375 --> 00:19:24,542
Maybe two. But that's pretty...
467
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:26,333
That's pretty exciting.
I don't know what that means.
468
00:19:26,417 --> 00:19:28,958
JIM:
Yeah. That's more
than a coincidence.
469
00:19:29,042 --> 00:19:31,042
TRAVIS:
Seeing these videos
was incredible,
470
00:19:31,208 --> 00:19:33,417
because it wasn't just
multiple UAPs
471
00:19:33,542 --> 00:19:35,375
that appeared at the same time.
472
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:37,333
They also seemed
to be maneuvering
473
00:19:37,458 --> 00:19:39,167
in a coordinated formation.
474
00:19:39,250 --> 00:19:40,667
-(static)
-There it is.
475
00:19:40,833 --> 00:19:42,667
Wow.
476
00:19:42,750 --> 00:19:44,625
When we broadcasted our signal
at the radio station,
477
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:47,583
we could see a very definite
frequency register
478
00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:50,875
on the spectrum analyzer,
as if something was responding.
479
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
What I want to know is
if these UAP
480
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:56,417
were also stimulated
by our experiment.
481
00:19:56,542 --> 00:19:58,833
Clearly,
we now have an investigation
482
00:19:58,958 --> 00:20:01,542
that goes beyond the boundaries
of Skinwalker Ranch.
483
00:20:02,458 --> 00:20:04,125
Well, if you get
any stuff like this,
484
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:05,833
-absolutely let us see it.
-Okay. Yeah. Thank you.
485
00:20:05,958 --> 00:20:07,042
Especially, you know,
getting the date and the time
486
00:20:07,167 --> 00:20:08,875
with it also, that's great.
487
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,583
You guys really stirred
the old, uh, hornets' nest up.
488
00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:13,000
Yeah.
489
00:20:13,083 --> 00:20:14,958
Okay, well,
if I can borrow this
490
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:16,000
-long enough
to get the video off...
-JIM: Yep, absolutely.
491
00:20:16,125 --> 00:20:17,625
Absolutely.
492
00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:19,458
And I'm gonna tear it apart
frame by frame.
493
00:20:19,542 --> 00:20:21,458
-(laughs)
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
494
00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:22,333
-I'll get back to
the neighbor, okay.
-All right.
495
00:20:22,417 --> 00:20:23,625
-Thanks a lot.
-Thanks so much.
496
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:25,167
-I'll get this back to you soon.
-Thank you.
497
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:25,583
-See you later, Jim.
-Thank you.
498
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,833
THOMAS:
All right.
499
00:20:40,208 --> 00:20:42,833
-Well...
-BRYANT: Yup.
500
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,792
This is the area
we're looking at.
501
00:20:44,875 --> 00:20:47,333
THOMAS: After our meeting
with Chris Bartel,
502
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:49,167
we brought Jake Huffman out,
503
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:52,250
who has spent his career
building oil well sites
504
00:20:52,375 --> 00:20:55,208
and as part of that, uh,
has used a lot of explosives
505
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:57,042
and done a lot of blasting.
506
00:20:57,167 --> 00:20:59,458
We wanted to get
his eyes on the mesa
507
00:20:59,542 --> 00:21:01,667
and see if he could tell

there's an opening where
that little clay slough-off is.
512
00:21:14,542 --> 00:21:17,167
We had a former guard
from Bigelow's era
513
00:21:17,292 --> 00:21:18,958
that told us about
this large opening
514
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:21,583

Jake suggests that blasting
has occurred in this area,

this mesa has been collapsed in,

566
00:23:43,417 --> 00:23:44,625
Chris shared
some experiences that he had
567
00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:46,333
while he was here on the ranch.
568
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,833
One of them,
he was going across the mesa.
569
00:23:48,958 --> 00:23:52,917
He was following some very,
very large tracks.
570
00:23:53,042 --> 00:23:56,333
The stride of this animal
is like three feet.
571
00:23:56,417 --> 00:23:57,583
That's a big animal.
572
00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:59,333
He used the term canine,
573
00:23:59,417 --> 00:24:01,750
but those tracks
looked like a very large wolf.
574
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:06,000
And as he came down,
he found this cavern.
575
00:24:06,167 --> 00:24:09,417
It was pretty large,
and there were large traps
576
00:24:09,542 --> 00:24:11,458
that had been set down
inside of this.
577
00:24:12,833 --> 00:24:15,625
The interesting thing was, is
that when you look down in it,
578
00:24:15,708 --> 00:24:18,875
you can tell that
the rocks have collapsed down.
579
00:24:19,042 --> 00:24:20,333
Wait, wait,
so you've actually seen it?
580
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:22,667
Yes, and I have
a solid GPS coordinate

582
00:24:25,458 --> 00:24:26,750
So, if you provide
the coordinates,
583

on the screen.

have been a much larger cavern
596

kind of sunk in and collapsed.

starting to make some progress.
851
00:35:19,958 --> 00:35:22,458
Well, it means there's got
to be some sort of an opening,
852
00:35:22,542 --> 00:35:25,417
if it's pulling that much smoke
and none of it's leaking out.
853
00:35:25,542 --> 00:35:28,000
We're out of smoke bombs,
I guess just head down.
854
00:35:28,083 --> 00:35:30,417
All right, I'm landing.
855
00:35:31,833 --> 00:35:34,208
ERIK:
As I like to say,
"We are led by the data."
856
00:35:34,375 --> 00:35:36,667
And all of the data
are pointing to
857
00:35:36,792 --> 00:35:39,000
the existence of a large void,
858
00:35:39,125 --> 00:35:41,542
somewhere inside of
the face of this mesa.
859
00:35:41,708 --> 00:35:45,250
I would love to get eyes on
what's in there.
860
00:35:45,375 --> 00:35:47,958
-Welcome back to earth.
-OTHERS: Yeah.
861
00:35:48,083 --> 00:35:50,625
So you did find something?
862
00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:53,500
Uh, we did find something.
863
00:35:53,583 --> 00:35:55,833
Sure weird, from what I saw
from the air.
864
00:35:55,917 --> 00:35:59,542
It was, it was like the mesa
just took a deep breath.
865
00:35:59,708 --> 00:36:03,167
Yep, you could literally see it
being sucked down into the hole.
866
00:36:03,333 --> 00:36:06,000
And the hole, it seems
like it just went forever.
867
00:36:06,083 --> 00:36:08,000
It was just like
a vacuum cleaner turned on
868
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:09,458
and it sucked
all that smoke down
869
00:36:09,583 --> 00:36:10,208
-and then it was gone.
-Yeah, it was gone.
870
00:36:10,375 --> 00:36:12,000
So, it went somewhere.
871
00:36:12,125 --> 00:36:14,458
That hole goes deeper
than we think.
872
00:36:14,583 --> 00:36:16,375
Well, I think we got to figure
some things out
873
00:36:16,542 --> 00:36:18,333
before we do the next thing.
We really want to do this right.
874
00:36:18,458 --> 00:36:21,042
The experiment
definitely confirmed
875
00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:23,125
that there is something
that we need to explore
876
00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:24,625
deep inside the mesa.
877
00:36:24,708 --> 00:36:26,917
But we're gonna have
to move some earth,
878
00:36:27,042 --> 00:36:28,292
and that means digging
or drilling
879
00:36:28,375 --> 00:36:29,875
to find out what it is.
880
00:36:30,042 --> 00:36:31,333
So, we need to have
a serious meeting
881
00:36:31,458 --> 00:36:32,417
with Brandon
and get his blessing,
882
00:36:32,542 --> 00:36:34,333
'cause we've seen in the past,
883
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:37,250
it's always risky to dig
on Skinwalker Ranch,
884
00:36:37,375 --> 00:36:39,042
but I don't see another choice.
885
00:36:39,167 --> 00:36:40,917
Great work, as always, Pete.
886
00:36:41,042 --> 00:36:43,083
-Thank you very much,
appreciate it.
-Oh, my pleasure.
887
00:36:43,208 --> 00:36:45,250
All right.
We'll load up, head back.
888
00:36:54,917 --> 00:36:56,625
ERIK:
Oh, well, here they are.
889
00:36:56,708 --> 00:36:58,625
TRAVIS:
Now that we've found what may be
890
00:36:58,708 --> 00:37:02,000
a purposely covered up system of
caverns, or who knows what,
891
00:37:02,125 --> 00:37:03,167
in the mesa...
892
00:37:04,250 --> 00:37:07,250
...we need to explain it
to Brandon
893
00:37:07,375 --> 00:37:08,625
and have
a serious discussion about
894
00:37:08,750 --> 00:37:10,500
what he's willing
to allow us to do
895
00:37:10,583 --> 00:37:13,792
to get inside and see
what the heck could be there.
896
00:37:13,875 --> 00:37:15,292
Well, Brandon, as usual,
897
00:37:15,375 --> 00:37:16,667
we have some intriguing things
to report.
898
00:37:16,792 --> 00:37:20,250
We've taken a lot of data
with the GPS experiments,
899
00:37:20,375 --> 00:37:21,750
with the helicopter,
with the airplane,
900
00:37:21,875 --> 00:37:24,833
and we've seemed to find
901
00:37:24,958 --> 00:37:27,500
there's an anomaly
that's just a little bit west
902
00:37:27,625 --> 00:37:30,625
of the, uh, triangle that's
causing it to look like...
903
00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:32,500
actually, that
Cameron's helicopter flew us
904
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,167
into the mesa,
905
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:36,708
and then out of the mesa on top
somehow or other.
906
00:37:36,833 --> 00:37:38,500
-Okay.
-TRAVIS: That's kind of
in the same location
907
00:37:38,583 --> 00:37:40,708
that we've had
an eyewitness suggest
908
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:42,208
that there was a cave there
in the past.
909
00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:44,333
Really? Oh. Wow.
910
00:37:44,458 --> 00:37:48,542
Chris Bartel, uh,
one of the former guards
911
00:37:48,667 --> 00:37:51,500
for Mr. Bigelow, he came out
here and visited with us,
912
00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:53,708
and he showed us this cavern.
913
00:37:53,833 --> 00:37:56,792
Thomas and I had one of
his associates come out
914
00:37:56,875 --> 00:37:59,000
who's done a lot of
blasting and drilling.
915
00:37:59,125 --> 00:38:00,292
Well, he-he just looked at it,
916
00:38:00,417 --> 00:38:02,333
and he said it does have
the appearance
917
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,667
that it could have been
blasted and collapsed.
918
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:08,000
Chris Bartel showing us
this cavern
919
00:38:08,125 --> 00:38:09,542
led us to explore further
in that area
920
00:38:09,708 --> 00:38:11,375
to see if we could find
other clues
921
00:38:11,542 --> 00:38:13,625
or maybe other entrances.
922
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:16,167
-Mm-hmm.
-And we actually did find
some other holes,
923
00:38:16,292 --> 00:38:18,500
uh, which we dropped smoke bombs
down into.
924
00:38:18,667 --> 00:38:21,542
The smoke started to come up
out of the hole and then it was
925
00:38:21,708 --> 00:38:23,167
as if somebody turned on
a vacuum,
926
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:25,417
and the smoke sucked down
into the hole,
927
00:38:25,542 --> 00:38:27,083
and we never saw
another trace of it.
928
00:38:27,208 --> 00:38:29,875
-Wow.
-That was really strange.
929
00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:31,833
Yeah, it was-- it was odd.
930
00:38:31,958 --> 00:38:36,750
It really suggests that
there is some sort of opening,
931
00:38:36,875 --> 00:38:40,333
uh, network underneath
the rocks, underneath the mesa.
932
00:38:40,458 --> 00:38:45,417
The fact that
the-the smoke experiment showed
933
00:38:45,542 --> 00:38:48,167
that there's some void,
there's something
934
00:38:48,292 --> 00:38:51,917
that is pulling
that material into the mesa,
935
00:38:52,042 --> 00:38:53,583
I mean,
that's-that's a key clue.
936
00:38:53,708 --> 00:38:55,667
Yeah, it was
the most bizarre thing.
937
00:38:55,792 --> 00:38:58,167
There's an airflow
somewhere going into something,
938
00:38:58,250 --> 00:39:00,458
a void somewhere or whatever.
939
00:39:00,542 --> 00:39:02,583
Since it never came out lower,
that suggests
940
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:05,542
there's an opening underneath,
underneath the mesa out there.
941
00:39:05,667 --> 00:39:08,750
-Yeah.
-As we've discussed before,
942
00:39:08,875 --> 00:39:11,958
this is an area
attended by GPS receivers
943
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:15,500
behaving anomalously
in that part of the ranch.
944
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:18,000
What's doing it?
What's interfering with them?
945
00:39:18,125 --> 00:39:20,958
-And what may have been
covered up in the past?
-ERIK: Yeah.
946
00:39:21,042 --> 00:39:23,458
BRANDON:
What were they hiding
in that mesa?
947
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:25,292
That's the big question, right?
948
00:39:25,375 --> 00:39:27,500
What were they hiding
and why would they
949
00:39:27,583 --> 00:39:31,208
deliberately cover up
their tracks?
950
00:39:31,333 --> 00:39:33,458
I think Thomas has found
the ideal solution.
951
00:39:33,583 --> 00:39:35,083
What would you propose?
952
00:39:35,208 --> 00:39:37,958
Well, I have a,
I have a good friend
953
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:39,417
that is a driller.
954
00:39:39,542 --> 00:39:41,833
Now, he's a horizontal driller.
955
00:39:41,958 --> 00:39:44,750
This drill is special in
the fact that it's directional,
956
00:39:44,875 --> 00:39:47,125
and it allows him
to steer the bit around.
957
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:50,208
-Wow.
-And so, we could set it up
at the base of the mesa
958
00:39:50,333 --> 00:39:53,125
and drill horizontally
into the mesa,
959
00:39:53,208 --> 00:39:56,292
and we can steer it around.
960
00:39:56,417 --> 00:39:57,917
And so, it would allow us
to explore and see
961
00:39:58,042 --> 00:40:00,500
if we might be able to
punch into one of these voids.
962
00:40:00,625 --> 00:40:04,417
That is a perfect match
for our problem set, Thomas.
963
00:40:04,542 --> 00:40:07,708
I'm very curious to find out
what may be hidden
964
00:40:07,833 --> 00:40:09,958
in that chamber
or at least in that area.
965
00:40:10,042 --> 00:40:13,417
You have my approval to proceed,
but proceed with care.
966
00:40:13,542 --> 00:40:16,500
I want to minimize
the amount of disruption
967
00:40:16,583 --> 00:40:18,500
over in that area,
and I want to make sure
968
00:40:18,667 --> 00:40:21,208
that safety is paramount.
969
00:40:21,333 --> 00:40:24,000
-You got it, Brandon.
-BRYANT: Let's go.
970
00:40:24,125 --> 00:40:27,250
TARVIS:
You can't really
take this ranch
971
00:40:27,375 --> 00:40:29,500
as a serious
scientific investigation
972
00:40:29,667 --> 00:40:32,167
if you don't take in mind
973
00:40:32,292 --> 00:40:34,458
all of the lore and mythology
that comes with it.
974
00:40:34,583 --> 00:40:37,333
We've heard so many stories
975
00:40:37,458 --> 00:40:39,167
about what's
underneath this mesa.
976
00:40:39,250 --> 00:40:42,542
We've heard myths of caves
that have portals in them,
977
00:40:42,708 --> 00:40:44,500
even a military base.
978
00:40:44,625 --> 00:40:46,792
Any information we could get
that tells us
979
00:40:46,875 --> 00:40:50,833
there's some type of void
or even a structure,
980
00:40:50,917 --> 00:40:53,333
that would be
amazing information.
981
00:40:53,458 --> 00:40:55,167
BRANDON:
I believe as we move forward,
982
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:59,500
the mesa holds secrets
that have yet to be revealed.
983
00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:02,667
We have to always be aware
984
00:41:02,792 --> 00:41:05,458
that anytime we begin digging
or disturbing the earth,
985
00:41:05,583 --> 00:41:09,042
we stand to experience harm
986
00:41:09,167 --> 00:41:11,458
and there's a risk involved.
987
00:41:11,542 --> 00:41:15,875
However, I can tell you
we are onto something.
988
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,292
This is the time
to put our foot on the gas
989
00:41:18,417 --> 00:41:20,542
and to charge forward,
990
00:41:20,667 --> 00:41:23,375
so we can hopefully
catch a glimpse
991
00:41:23,542 --> 00:41:26,458
of what is really at work
at Skinwalker Ranch.
992
00:41:31,208 --> 00:41:35,042
THOMAS:
We're hoping that we can go
drill through the mesa
993
00:41:35,167 --> 00:41:36,583
and see if we hit any voids.
994
00:41:37,875 --> 00:41:39,833
BRYANT:
That looks like
a big chunk of something.
995
00:41:39,917 --> 00:41:43,000
What is that?
It definitely looks metallic.
996
00:41:43,083 --> 00:41:45,333
BRYANT:
Let's run a snake camera
down in the mesa.
997
00:41:45,458 --> 00:41:46,875
There it is.
998
00:41:47,042 --> 00:41:47,792
What is that?
999
00:41:47,917 --> 00:41:50,042
This thing is broadcasting.
1000
00:41:50,167 --> 00:41:52,458
This thing shouldn't be
broadcasting anything.
1001
00:41:52,542 --> 00:41:55,292
-Hey. Are you okay?
-No.
1002
00:41:55,375 --> 00:41:56,125
BRYANT:
Tom just blacked out.
1003
