Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,875 --> 00:00:03,500
-Check this out.
-More metal?
2
00:00:04,708 --> 00:00:07,375
It's almost as if it
all came off the same object.
3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,958
We definitely
want to analyze that.
4
00:00:19,625 --> 00:00:21,958
-What the hell was that?
-What the hell was that?
5
00:00:22,042 --> 00:00:24,292
There was a serious rumble.
6
00:00:24,417 --> 00:00:25,750
I mean, you could
feel it in your feet.
7
00:00:25,875 --> 00:00:28,542
Whoa!
What was that?
8
00:00:28,708 --> 00:00:32,542
I saw something flash in the sky
to the west over Homestead Two.
9
00:00:35,458 --> 00:00:38,667
NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in northern Utah.
10
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:42,833
It is considered
the epicenter of the strangest
11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,667
and most disturbing phenomena
12
00:00:44,792 --> 00:00:46,500
on Earth.
13
00:00:46,583 --> 00:00:50,958
Animal mutilations,
bizarre UFO sightings,
14
00:00:51,042 --> 00:00:52,708
and unusual energies
15
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:55,958
that have proven harmful
to humans.
16
00:00:56,083 --> 00:00:58,292
For 20 years,
the federal government
17
00:00:58,375 --> 00:01:01,750
tried to find answers,
and failed.
18
00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:06,708
Now, a new team of dedicated
scientists, researchers
19
00:01:06,875 --> 00:01:09,625
and experts has taken over.
20
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:11,292
They are determined to solve
21
00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:13,583
the mystery and reveal...
22
00:01:32,208 --> 00:01:33,750
Hey, Erik.
You in here?
23
00:01:33,875 --> 00:01:35,167
Yeah, I'm back here.
24
00:01:35,292 --> 00:01:37,083
So, I was out
there by the drill site.
25
00:01:37,208 --> 00:01:40,042
-Uh-huh.
-I was standing on the road
26
00:01:40,208 --> 00:01:43,750
like, right above the hole,
looking up at the guys,
27
00:01:43,875 --> 00:01:45,167
and the ground shook.
28
00:01:46,333 --> 00:01:48,333
It didn't last as long
as an earthquake, but it...
29
00:01:48,417 --> 00:01:50,292
(imitates rumble) Like that.
And I was like, "Wow."
30
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:52,542
And I even
asked the guys if they
31
00:01:52,708 --> 00:01:54,667
felt it over the walkie,
and right as I held
32
00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:57,083
the walkie up to call them,
I saw something.
33
00:01:57,208 --> 00:01:59,625
-Just boom real quick
across the sky.
-No way.
34
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:03,375
And it was spherical,
translucent white color.
35
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,375
-And I mean it was fast, too.
Schoomp, like that.
-Okay.
36
00:02:06,542 --> 00:02:08,500
Things might really be
coming to a head
37
00:02:08,625 --> 00:02:10,833
with our investigation
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,542
It keeps pushing me down.
39
00:02:14,542 --> 00:02:17,625
Two weeks ago, we drilled
deep into the mesa...
40
00:02:18,875 --> 00:02:21,625
THOMAS: I wonder if it's, like,
metal flakes or something.
41
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,833
TRAVIS: ...and discovered
what seems to be
42
00:02:23,958 --> 00:02:25,458
a huge, dome-shaped metal object
43
00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:27,208
buried beneath it
that we believe could
44
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:29,458
measure up to 400 feet wide.
45
00:02:29,542 --> 00:02:32,250
Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.
46
00:02:33,583 --> 00:02:37,833
Now, while Thomas, Dragon
and I were right in that area,
47
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:40,000
we felt the ground
suddenly shake,
48
00:02:40,125 --> 00:02:42,167
and I thought I saw a UAP.
49
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:44,833
Over the last three years
we've been able to
50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,167
record multiple UAP sightings.
51
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:49,500
I'm hoping that
Erik caught the one I just
52
00:02:49,625 --> 00:02:51,000
saw on his surveillance cameras.
53
00:02:51,125 --> 00:02:52,792
Maybe it will give us
54
00:02:52,917 --> 00:02:55,292
a better idea of where
these things are coming from.
55
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:58,333
Did you happen to
have any cameras looking in
56
00:02:58,458 --> 00:03:00,042
the westerly direction?
I was looking due west.
57
00:03:00,167 --> 00:03:01,625
Yeah, we have some bullet cams
that are always looking out
58
00:03:01,708 --> 00:03:03,833
-that way.
-Well, can you pull those up?
59
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:08,042
I'm gonna say it was at,
uh, 13:45, because I checked
60
00:03:08,167 --> 00:03:10,708
my phone, like,
immediately when it happened.
61
00:03:10,875 --> 00:03:13,000
Best one would probably be this.
62
00:03:13,125 --> 00:03:14,292
-Yeah, this view.
-That's exactly where--
63
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:16,250
So I would have been down here,
64
00:03:16,375 --> 00:03:18,250
probably looking that way,
right?
65
00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:19,583
Because the drill site is
right past that tree, I think.
66
00:03:19,708 --> 00:03:22,875
All right. Well,
I'm at about 1:44 p.m.
67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,625
Let's just see if we can
find it.
68
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:26,500
So, how big of a thing
are we talking about here?
69
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:28,250
Well, I mean,
it was like no bigger than
70
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,000
the spheres we've seen
in the sky before,
71
00:03:30,083 --> 00:03:31,792
but it would've been
right in here somewhere.
72
00:03:31,875 --> 00:03:33,833
-How fast was it moving?
-Dude, it was moving
pretty fast.
73
00:03:33,958 --> 00:03:35,417
That's what I'm worried about.
You may not catch it,
74
00:03:35,542 --> 00:03:36,625
it was moving so fast.
75
00:03:39,833 --> 00:03:42,833
Yeah, you see, there's a line
looked like it had been formed.
76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,042
-Keep going.
-Okay, you want to do
a frame advance?
77
00:03:45,167 --> 00:03:47,708
-Yeah. Do frame by frame.
-Okay.
78
00:03:47,833 --> 00:03:49,333
Ho! Right there!
There it is.
79
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:52,417
-Okay.
-Look at that.
80
00:03:52,542 --> 00:03:54,417
ERIK:
Okay. I got it.
81
00:03:54,542 --> 00:03:57,833
-Is that only in one frame?
-That's a single frame. Yeah.
82
00:03:57,917 --> 00:03:59,375
Go back one and go through it
83
00:03:59,542 --> 00:04:00,833
to see how many frames
it actually lasts.
84
00:04:00,917 --> 00:04:02,333
Okay, I'm gonna center on it.
85
00:04:04,708 --> 00:04:06,542
What in the heck?
86
00:04:06,667 --> 00:04:08,542
TRAVIS: Look at that. I don't
know if it came out of the mesa
87
00:04:08,667 --> 00:04:11,375
-or from behind the mesa.
-Uh-huh.
88
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:15,042
I know that others have reported
that craft have been seen
89
00:04:15,167 --> 00:04:16,375
going into the mesa.
90
00:04:16,542 --> 00:04:17,833
Perhaps we're looking at
something
91
00:04:17,917 --> 00:04:19,250
coming out of the mesa,
92
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:21,625
as has been speculated by,
by others.
93
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:23,375
I don't know.
94
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,500
There's a lot of information
that's put on these rocks.
95
00:04:26,583 --> 00:04:29,500
TRAVIS:
Earlier this year,
ranch caretakers Kandus Linde
96
00:04:29,583 --> 00:04:32,167
and Tom Lewis met
with retired Navajo ranger,
97
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:34,375
John Dover
to look at petroglyphs
98
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,833
carved into rocks
at nearby McConkie Ranch.
99
00:04:37,958 --> 00:04:39,250
This place is amazing.
100
00:04:39,375 --> 00:04:40,500
TRAVIS:
They were created by local
101
00:04:40,667 --> 00:04:42,542
Indigenous people centuries ago.
102
00:04:42,667 --> 00:04:45,375
And John believes they
depict strange phenomena
103
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,667
that have occurred
throughout the Uinta Basin.
104
00:04:47,792 --> 00:04:51,000
We've actually had stories
involving
105
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:54,083
UAPs that have
106
00:04:54,208 --> 00:04:58,125
entered into mesas.
107
00:04:58,208 --> 00:05:01,000
And just gone
right into the rock.
108
00:05:02,958 --> 00:05:06,458
I couldn't say if
this UAP came from the mesa,
109
00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:08,875
but the massive tremor
that Dragon, Thomas and I
110
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:12,667
all felt just before it
appeared made me wonder if
111
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:15,542
the local beliefs are
possibly founded in fact.
112
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:19,708
-How did you catch that?
-Your eye integrates.
113
00:05:19,833 --> 00:05:22,458
So, you know,
I saw a streak go across.
114
00:05:22,542 --> 00:05:24,000
But it looks just--
I mean, that looks
115
00:05:24,167 --> 00:05:25,833
just like what I thought I saw.
116
00:05:26,917 --> 00:05:29,292
I said it was
a translucent white sphere.
117
00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:31,792
I mean, look
how much more translucent
118
00:05:31,875 --> 00:05:34,000
-white sphere can you get?
-You know, I gotta tell you,
119
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:37,750
if you hadn't seen this
with the naked eye, I would
120
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:39,542
not have detected this
on review of this footage.
121
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:42,167
This is such a fleeting event.
122
00:05:42,292 --> 00:05:44,833
But this,
this does look very solid.
123
00:05:44,958 --> 00:05:47,042
-That's a great catch.
-I'm excited about it.
124
00:05:47,167 --> 00:05:50,792
Keep your eye on the sky,
maybe you'll see something else.
125
00:06:00,833 --> 00:06:04,500
After we informed Brandon
about the massive tremor and UAP
126
00:06:04,625 --> 00:06:08,083
incident at the mesa,
we asked him to immediately come
127
00:06:08,208 --> 00:06:10,875
out to the ranch to formulate
a plan for what to do next.
128
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,375
With all the UAPs
we've documented this year,
129
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,042
especially in
the triangle area...
130
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:16,917
-How you doing? Good.
-Good.
131
00:06:17,042 --> 00:06:18,583
...we wanted to present
him with our idea
132
00:06:18,708 --> 00:06:20,500
for the biggest experiment yet.
133
00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:23,125
With winter approaching,
this was our last
134
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:24,958
opportunity to find
some real answers.
135
00:06:26,667 --> 00:06:28,208
Thanks for coming together,
guys.
136
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:30,875
I'm anxious to hear
what you have in store.
137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,833
Yeah, so we, as you're
aware, we've launched
138
00:06:33,958 --> 00:06:35,833
a lot of rockets this year
139
00:06:35,958 --> 00:06:38,500
than in the years past.
Most of them with
140
00:06:38,625 --> 00:06:40,375
instrumentation packages
in them.
141
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,333
With payloads to measure,
whether it's GPS or...
142
00:06:43,458 --> 00:06:46,917
an RF or microwave signal,
gamma rays and so on.
143
00:06:47,042 --> 00:06:49,167
And we've also in the past
144
00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:52,375
had laser beams out here that
we've used for various things.
145
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,667
We've scanned across
the sky with them in the mesa,
146
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,333
and we've seen
some really weird stuff.
147
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:58,917
Yeah, you sure have.
148
00:06:59,042 --> 00:07:01,083
And so, we thought
we needed to really
149
00:07:01,208 --> 00:07:03,042
get a better handle on it
150
00:07:03,208 --> 00:07:06,875
with a much larger rocket that
can go up through the triangle
151
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
and with a lot of instruments
on it, and at the same time have
152
00:07:11,125 --> 00:07:15,125
multiple, very large lasers
focused on the spot,
153
00:07:15,208 --> 00:07:18,125
as well as a scanning laser
system focused on the spot
154
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:19,625
while we have all
of our instruments
155
00:07:19,708 --> 00:07:21,000
and cameras and everything
looking at it.
156
00:07:21,167 --> 00:07:23,667
I mean, everything we've
got and used in the past
157
00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:26,000
we would use
in one big experiment.
158
00:07:26,125 --> 00:07:27,667
It sounds like you are proposing
159
00:07:27,792 --> 00:07:31,583
-something on a grand scale.
-Yeah.
160
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:34,667
So, with our time
about to run out this year,
161
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:37,667
the plan is to use the biggest
rockets and lasers yet to
162
00:07:37,792 --> 00:07:40,167
conduct a new experiment
that will not only stimulate
163
00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:43,875
something unmistakable to
appear at the triangle, but also
164
00:07:44,042 --> 00:07:47,000
reveal what that anomaly at
that mile-high zone actually is.
165
00:07:47,125 --> 00:07:50,208
So, we've been talking with
the guys at LOC Precision
166
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:53,667
and we're gonna have a separate
set of payload canisters that
167
00:07:53,833 --> 00:07:57,042
come out, and one payload
canister is going to deploy
168
00:07:57,208 --> 00:08:00,458
chalk dust at different
altitudes as the parachute
169
00:08:00,542 --> 00:08:03,167
sinks back through,
and it will create
170
00:08:03,292 --> 00:08:05,333
a cloud all over
the triangle area.
171
00:08:05,458 --> 00:08:07,125
So, if there is
some anomaly that's
172
00:08:07,250 --> 00:08:09,333
invisible to the eye,
maybe the chalk will coat it.
173
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,000
And, also, it will
give more particulate matter
174
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:14,000
for the laser beams
to reflect off of.
175
00:08:14,083 --> 00:08:18,750
So, it should allow us
to map that area and see it
176
00:08:18,875 --> 00:08:20,667
better than
we've seen it ever before.
177
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:23,167
So, not just shining a beam
through the area, but rastering
178
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:25,792
a beam through that area
may give us a sense of the,
179
00:08:25,875 --> 00:08:28,125
of the shape and size of
whatever it is that's up there.
180
00:08:28,208 --> 00:08:31,042
TRAVIS:
We are going into
181
00:08:31,208 --> 00:08:34,583
great detail, deliberate effort
182
00:08:34,708 --> 00:08:37,958
to design multiple rocket
systems that we can launch.
183
00:08:38,083 --> 00:08:40,292
ERIK: That says nothing
of the instrument payload,
184
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:42,542
you know.
We're talking about putting on
185
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:44,375
frequency generator,
186
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,375
gamma ray detector,
of course, action cams.
187
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,333
This is probably
the largest scale, most complex
188
00:08:51,417 --> 00:08:56,000
and most expensive experiment
that we've ever done out here.
189
00:08:56,125 --> 00:08:59,542
Well, this is extraordinary.
These are big ideas.
190
00:08:59,667 --> 00:09:01,792
There's a lot of things that we,
you know, wanted to
191
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:05,000
make sure we got your clearance
for before we proceeded.
192
00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:07,917
Well, if this leads us to
better understand the origin
193
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:10,917
and the agenda of
what we're dealing with,
194
00:09:11,042 --> 00:09:13,875
who or what we are interacting
with here at Skinwalker Ranch,
195
00:09:14,042 --> 00:09:17,333
I think will,
will be well worth it.
196
00:09:17,417 --> 00:09:18,583
TRAVIS:
Yeah, absolutely.
197
00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:20,417
BRANDON:
Well, given the scale
198
00:09:20,542 --> 00:09:24,000
of this,
this incredible experiment that
199
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:26,583
you are coordinating,
I would love to be here...
200
00:09:26,708 --> 00:09:28,208
-Great.
-...to witness it myself.
201
00:09:28,375 --> 00:09:30,083
We'd appreciate it. Thank you.
202
00:09:30,208 --> 00:09:32,208
I-I really appreciate
203
00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:35,167
the level of thought,
204
00:09:35,250 --> 00:09:38,625
the effort and the organization
that you've really brought
205
00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:42,083
to the table in order to
make this hopefully, you know,
206
00:09:42,208 --> 00:09:47,042
some of our best
experimental efforts yet.
207
00:09:47,167 --> 00:09:49,667
Because anytime we
initiate an experiment
208
00:09:49,792 --> 00:09:53,000
that is aggressive, that-that
is poking the hornet's nest,
209
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:57,000
if you will, above the ranch,
something happens.
210
00:09:58,042 --> 00:10:01,667
Well, and if nothing unusual
happens, that's a data point.
211
00:10:01,833 --> 00:10:05,208
If nothing unusual happens,
that will be unusual.
212
00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:08,625
-(laughs) I like that.
-BRYANT: That'll be a first.
213
00:10:21,042 --> 00:10:22,917
TRAVIS:
Oh, somebody's here.
214
00:10:23,042 --> 00:10:24,958
BRYANT:
Yeah. It looks like
it's the Loc boys.
215
00:10:27,042 --> 00:10:29,000
TRAVIS:
And the Nu-Salt guys.
216
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:30,917
TRAVIS:
Two days after
our meeting with Brandon,
217
00:10:31,042 --> 00:10:33,833
the rocket guys from
Loc Precision and the team
218
00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:36,167
from Nu-Salt Laser
arrived to help us conduct
219
00:10:36,292 --> 00:10:39,500
the biggest experiment ever
performed on Skinwalker Ranch.
220
00:10:39,583 --> 00:10:42,500
Good to see you again.
How are you?
221
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:45,167
TRAVIS:
All of these guys had taken
part in previous experiments
222
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:47,042
targeting both
the triangle and the mesa,
223
00:10:47,208 --> 00:10:49,875
so we were eager
to poke the nest harder
224
00:10:50,042 --> 00:10:52,500
than ever before,
and get some definitive answers
225
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:54,958
about the weird phenomena
that keep happening out here.
226
00:10:55,083 --> 00:10:58,958
We're combining two really
spectacular experiments
227
00:10:59,083 --> 00:11:01,042
in one this time.
228
00:11:01,208 --> 00:11:04,333
-Bigger and better on the
rockets, and more lasers.
-Yeah.
229
00:11:04,458 --> 00:11:06,417
And I expect we're
going to learn a lot from it.
230
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:10,750
We have measured some
phenomenology here that's, uh,
231
00:11:10,875 --> 00:11:12,917
actually affecting laser beams
232
00:11:13,042 --> 00:11:14,875
as they propagate through
the sky.
233
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,667
We're actually
seeing lasers actually hit
234
00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:20,833
a particular level
and then actually bend and turn,
235
00:11:20,958 --> 00:11:23,708
and so that means
there is something significant,
236
00:11:23,833 --> 00:11:25,625
you know, at this position.
237
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:29,000
And, we're gonna launch
rockets right through that,
238
00:11:29,125 --> 00:11:33,667
we're gonna release
some powders that'll, you know,
239
00:11:33,792 --> 00:11:36,542
create a cloud that
falls through this area
240
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:39,375
to give us more visual
with the laser beams.
241
00:11:39,542 --> 00:11:41,042
So, what we've got to do,
242
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:43,833
we've got a lot of
moving parts here today.
243
00:11:43,958 --> 00:11:47,250
We've got a couple of
really big rockets with
244
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:50,333
complicated payloads, while
we're setting up the lasers.
245
00:11:50,417 --> 00:11:53,167
And we got to figure out,
make sure that we put the lasers
246
00:11:53,292 --> 00:11:56,500
in such a way that they don't
damage the rocket during flight,
247
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:59,667
or the parachutes on the return,
because, you know, space cannons
248
00:11:59,792 --> 00:12:00,875
will probably
melt the parachutes.
249
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,917
They are pretty hot.
250
00:12:03,042 --> 00:12:04,500
So, I'd love to see
what you guys brought.
251
00:12:04,625 --> 00:12:05,958
-I'm excited about this.
-Great.
252
00:12:06,083 --> 00:12:08,500
-Let's do that.
-Cool.
-Exciting.
253
00:12:09,375 --> 00:12:14,000
So, we got three 200-watt
laser space cannons and one
254
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:17,708
NSL-2000 Model Z 30-watt laser
light show projector to set up.
255
00:12:17,875 --> 00:12:19,208
-Wow.
-Wow.
256
00:12:20,208 --> 00:12:23,083
That's impressive.
Can you guys top that?
257
00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:26,583
-A lot of firepower.
-I think we might be able to.
258
00:12:26,708 --> 00:12:29,833
-(laughter)
-TRAVIS: The gauntlet's
been thrown down.
259
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:34,042
-Oh, my gosh.
-Holy smokes.
260
00:12:35,042 --> 00:12:37,000
ALLEN: So, here's what
we've got for you this year.
261
00:12:37,125 --> 00:12:39,042
THOMAS:
How tall is that, put together?
262
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:40,500
-15 feet.
-Wow.
263
00:12:40,583 --> 00:12:41,833
TRAVIS:
Wait till it's put together.
264
00:12:41,958 --> 00:12:43,750
This right here is the
most awesome right here.
265
00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:46,708
Look at this,
this is one of the motors.
266
00:12:46,875 --> 00:12:48,208
THOMAS:
Holy smokes.
267
00:12:48,333 --> 00:12:50,000
This is a rocket motor
right here. Look at this.
268
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:52,167
Look at that thing.
It's a missile.
269
00:12:52,250 --> 00:12:54,333
DAVE:
So, we brought three rockets.
270
00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:56,833
One 15-foot tall,
12-inch diameter rocket
271
00:12:56,958 --> 00:12:59,000
that can carry more instruments.
272
00:12:59,167 --> 00:13:01,167
So, it's easier to
be able to help the guys
273
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:05,042
this time design the payload
area around their instruments to
274
00:13:05,167 --> 00:13:07,500
get a better fit and hopefully
some better readings for them.
275
00:13:07,583 --> 00:13:09,500
Well, I know when we talked
about it in planning, you know,
276
00:13:09,625 --> 00:13:11,500
we-we said it was bigger,
but my gosh, standing in front
277
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:13,667
of it, I'm thinking yes,
it's big.
278
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:16,417
Yes, it's beautiful, but what
I see is instrument capacity.
279
00:13:16,542 --> 00:13:17,875
Yep.
280
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,167
We have an opportunity
to learn a lot
281
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:21,000
with this, with this platform.
282
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:23,667
-Yeah.
-What's the safety
range with this one?
283
00:13:23,833 --> 00:13:25,667
With the O-motor,
it's a thousand feet.
284
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:28,208
So, nobody can be
within a thousand-foot
285
00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:30,750
-radius of the launch pad.
-Sounds to me like helipad.
286
00:13:30,875 --> 00:13:33,500
Yeah. We'll be
observing from the helipad.
287
00:13:33,583 --> 00:13:35,500
-Yeah.
-I agree.
288
00:13:35,625 --> 00:13:38,625
So, we need to start
getting everything together.
289
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:40,500
Get the payloads ready, and we
290
00:13:40,625 --> 00:13:42,583
need to get out there and start
figuring out the logistics.
291
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,458
Let's get to work,
guys, we got a lot to do.
292
00:13:44,542 --> 00:13:46,500
I'm excited, but this is
going to be a lot of work.
293
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,667
This is going to be a big day.
294
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:50,167
-Stand the booster up here.
-Yep.
295
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:52,208
Got you, sir.
296
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:53,917
♪ ♪
297
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:56,375
-Are we good?
-Yeah.
298
00:13:57,667 --> 00:14:01,417
BRYANT:
The anticipation and hopes
are so high for this experiment,
299
00:14:01,542 --> 00:14:04,292
we'll be able to either
stimulate or see something
300
00:14:04,417 --> 00:14:06,167
that could really lead us
in a direction to figuring out
301
00:14:06,292 --> 00:14:07,792
what's actually going on here.
302
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:11,917
-DAVE: It's go time.
-ALLEN: Yes, sir.
303
00:14:13,375 --> 00:14:14,500
Ready, ready.
304
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:15,500
TRAVIS: Tonight's going to be
305
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:17,083
one of the most complicated,
306
00:14:17,208 --> 00:14:19,000
biggest, most extravagant
experiments
307
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:19,792
that we've actually
done here at Skinwalker Ranch.
308
00:14:19,917 --> 00:14:22,500
We've got three of these
309
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:25,667
giant, multi-hundred-watt
laser space canons.
310
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:27,542
We've got the laser scanner.
311
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:30,667
We're going to be
broadcasting a sweep across this
312
00:14:30,792 --> 00:14:33,292
1.6 gigahertz part of
the spectrum where we're
313
00:14:33,417 --> 00:14:34,833
getting these weird signals
here on the ranch.
314
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,167
We're going to
hopefully stimulate
315
00:14:38,292 --> 00:14:40,000
the biggest response so far
316
00:14:40,125 --> 00:14:43,125
and get a lot of data
as this rocket launches.
317
00:14:43,208 --> 00:14:45,250
-TIM: Perfect.
-THOMAS: Hey, Travis.
-TRAVIS: Yeah?
318
00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:47,000
THOMAS: At what kind of angle
do you want on these?
319
00:14:47,083 --> 00:14:48,417
Do you want them
going straight up?
320
00:14:48,542 --> 00:14:52,333
I think straight up.
If we could focus maybe,
321
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,167
I mean, angle each one
of the three beams together,
322
00:14:55,292 --> 00:14:58,625
so they're hitting somewhere
about 3,000 feet up in the sky.
323
00:14:58,708 --> 00:15:00,833
-Pyramid format? Okay.
-Yeah, yeah.
324
00:15:00,958 --> 00:15:03,167
Pyramid it up to about
3,000 feet.
325
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:04,542
-Sounds good.
-Does that work for you guys?
326
00:15:04,667 --> 00:15:06,583
-It does work.
-Okay.
327
00:15:06,708 --> 00:15:08,250
TRAVIS:
The laser component
of our experiment
328
00:15:08,375 --> 00:15:09,958
has its own multi-tier system.
329
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:13,458
First, we'll set up
three high-powered
330
00:15:13,542 --> 00:15:17,167
laser cannons around the
triangle, and each laser beam
331
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:21,292
will be aimed upward,
converging at the mile-high zone
332
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:24,000
where we've detected
all kinds of radiation spikes
333
00:15:24,125 --> 00:15:27,083
and obtained evidence
of an invisible anomaly that has
334
00:15:27,208 --> 00:15:31,000
deflected other lasers,
and GPS devices in the past.
335
00:15:31,083 --> 00:15:32,500
ERIK:
So, there we are.
336
00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:35,000
DAVE: The signal generator
is up and running.
337
00:15:35,125 --> 00:15:36,250
ERIK:
All right. We are golden.
338
00:15:36,375 --> 00:15:38,250
TRAVIS: We're also going to
339
00:15:38,375 --> 00:15:40,708
broadcast that 1.6 gigahertz
340
00:15:40,875 --> 00:15:42,750
communication signal
that we recently
341
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:43,875
detected on the ranch.
342
00:15:44,042 --> 00:15:46,125
Just a couple
of weeks ago,
343
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:48,833
we broadcasted the signal at
a local radio station...
344
00:15:48,958 --> 00:15:51,500
(signal crackling)
345
00:15:51,667 --> 00:15:54,667
-There it is.
-Wow.
346
00:15:54,792 --> 00:15:56,208
TRAVIS: ...and stimulated
347
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:58,667
multiple UAPs to appear
in the sky.
348
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:01,208
-Look. Look, they're moving.
-JIM: Yep.
349
00:16:01,375 --> 00:16:03,125
So, here's our
transmitter right here.
350
00:16:03,208 --> 00:16:06,333
This is where we'll get
the source of the audio signal
351
00:16:06,458 --> 00:16:08,708
that the guys
choose to run through it.
352
00:16:08,833 --> 00:16:10,208
So tonight, we're going
353
00:16:10,375 --> 00:16:14,000
to broadcast that
1.6 gigahertz signal up through
354
00:16:14,083 --> 00:16:16,125
one of the lasers
directly into the anomalous
355
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:17,667
spot above the triangle.
356
00:16:17,833 --> 00:16:19,667
Hopefully,
it will stimulate more UAPs,
357
00:16:19,792 --> 00:16:22,625
or something else,
that might explain
358
00:16:22,708 --> 00:16:25,083
what is really going on
in that mile-high zone.
359
00:16:25,208 --> 00:16:28,000
And in addition to
the lasers here,
360
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:30,583
we'll deploy another
laser back on the helipad
361
00:16:30,708 --> 00:16:32,875
that will be scanning
up and down and through
362
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,167
that region in
the sky above the triangle.
363
00:16:35,292 --> 00:16:37,958
We'll monitor for any
bends in the laser's pattern.
364
00:16:38,042 --> 00:16:39,500
If we see any deviations,
365
00:16:39,625 --> 00:16:42,667
it could be evidence
of anomalies for us to focus on.
366
00:16:42,792 --> 00:16:45,625
-DAVE: Should we put
the booster on?
-ALLEN: Yeah.
367
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:48,375
TRAVIS: Once we get our laser
convergence system set up
368
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,167
at the triangle,
the team from Loc Precision has
369
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:54,083
brought out the granddaddy of
rockets that we are going to use
370
00:16:54,208 --> 00:16:57,042
to make contact with that
anomaly in the mile-high zone.
371
00:16:57,208 --> 00:17:00,208
ALLEN: All right,
let's bring her on in.
372
00:17:00,333 --> 00:17:01,958
Down in front a little.
Thank you.
373
00:17:02,083 --> 00:17:03,292
BRYANT: All right.
There we are. We're in.
374
00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,500
ALLEN: All right. She's in.
She's home.
375
00:17:05,583 --> 00:17:08,167
TRAVIS: This 15-foot-tall rocket
will be equipped with every kind
376
00:17:08,292 --> 00:17:11,792
of energy, radiation,
and gamma ray detector we have,
377
00:17:11,875 --> 00:17:16,125
plus three payloads of
environmentally safe chalk dust.
378
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:18,125
ALLEN:
Y'all hold the front end,
it's wanting to move.
379
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:19,792
-All right, ready?
-BRYANT: Yup
380
00:17:19,917 --> 00:17:21,167
This is not
only an impressive piece of
381
00:17:21,292 --> 00:17:23,417
equipment, it's very dangerous.
382
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:26,667
This thing looks like
a missile ready to go off.
383
00:17:26,792 --> 00:17:27,958
ALLEN:
You're home.
384
00:17:28,083 --> 00:17:29,458
TRAVIS:
After it's launched
385
00:17:29,542 --> 00:17:31,708
up over 5,000 feet,
a parachute will deploy,
386
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:33,833
bringing it straight back down
387
00:17:33,958 --> 00:17:35,583
through the anomalous zone.
388
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:39,375
The first batch of chalk dust
will be released at 5,000 feet.
389
00:17:39,542 --> 00:17:43,292
Then another at 4,000 feet,
and a third at 3,000 feet.
390
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:45,833
It'll be like throwing
flour on the invisible man.
391
00:17:46,875 --> 00:17:51,125
BRYANT:
Erik, are your GPS
units in the bottles turned on?
392
00:17:51,208 --> 00:17:53,167
-They are.
-Okay. Thank you.
393
00:17:53,292 --> 00:17:55,000
TRAVIS:
And once we've hopefully
identified where this
394
00:17:55,167 --> 00:17:57,625
dang anomaly is,
we're going to launch another
395
00:17:57,708 --> 00:17:59,542
rocket up there equipped
with more radiation
396
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:00,708
and gamma ray detectors
397
00:18:00,833 --> 00:18:02,708
to collect all the data we can,
398
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:04,042
and maybe stimulate
399
00:18:04,167 --> 00:18:06,375
the most awesome
ranch response yet.
400
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,458
-ALLEN: Hold down there, Dave.
-DAVE: I got it.
401
00:18:08,583 --> 00:18:12,375
-ALLEN: Go. Hard push,
y'all. Hold it.
-DAVE: Yep. Got it.
402
00:18:12,542 --> 00:18:14,208
-All right, she's set.
-All right. Whew.
403
00:18:14,333 --> 00:18:16,333
All right, Erik,
we gotta get this payload going.
404
00:18:16,417 --> 00:18:18,542
ERIK:
Let's get it going.
405
00:18:18,667 --> 00:18:21,083
-TRAVIS: We are running
out of daylight.
-ALLEN: All right, go.
406
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,500
DAVE:
These are all level-three
rockets, and these things are
407
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:26,208
gonna hit about 400 to 500
miles an hour,
408
00:18:26,333 --> 00:18:29,167
so we're using
an ammonium perchlorate fuel,
409
00:18:29,292 --> 00:18:31,667
which just by its
very nature is very hot.
410
00:18:31,792 --> 00:18:34,208
-Put on a Z-clip, we're great.
-DAVE: Perfect.
411
00:18:34,375 --> 00:18:37,625
And it requires safer
distances, there's more power,
412
00:18:37,708 --> 00:18:40,833
you need a bigger areas
around, larger areas to land.
413
00:18:40,917 --> 00:18:42,417
So, everything
is connected, we can now
414
00:18:42,542 --> 00:18:43,958
pack it up
and get to the safe zone?
415
00:18:44,042 --> 00:18:45,208
I need to
break down as fast as I can
416
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:46,667
and get back
to the Command Center.
417
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:47,667
Go ahead and do that.
Tell me when it's safe to
418
00:18:47,792 --> 00:18:48,625
shut that generator off.
419
00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:50,167
Okay. Will do.
420
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:52,208
BRYANT: So, we'll just
set it up on top.
421
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:54,458
DAVE:
Yup. I've got it.
422
00:18:54,583 --> 00:18:56,458
TRAVIS:
After our setup was complete,
all we needed was
423
00:18:56,583 --> 00:18:59,125
for Brandon to arrive
and the sun to go down.
424
00:18:59,208 --> 00:19:01,500
And then it's gonna
be time to make some history
425
00:19:01,625 --> 00:19:03,167
on Skinwalker Ranch.
426
00:19:03,250 --> 00:19:06,083
Okay, hey, it is time for all
non-essentials
427
00:19:06,208 --> 00:19:07,833
to start evacuating the area.
428
00:19:07,917 --> 00:19:11,125
Okay, we will see you guys
back at the Command Center.
429
00:19:17,583 --> 00:19:19,292
ERIK: We're about to begin
an experiment
430
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:22,000
on a larger scale than anything
we've attempted before.
431
00:19:22,167 --> 00:19:25,000
This is the most complex
and expensive
432
00:19:25,125 --> 00:19:26,500
and dangerous experiment
433
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:28,500
that we have ever attempted
on this ranch.
434
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:31,042
TRAVIS: After we got set up
at the triangle area,
435
00:19:31,167 --> 00:19:33,792
we moved back to the base
of operations at the helipad,
436
00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:36,875
where we could monitor
everything from a safe distance.
437
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,750
We've also got
17 sets of eyes here.
438
00:19:38,875 --> 00:19:41,208
TRAVIS:
Because of the size
of this experiment,
439
00:19:41,375 --> 00:19:43,750
we have called the entire
Skinwalker team out to help us,
440
00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:47,333
including Brandon, Jim Morse,
441
00:19:47,458 --> 00:19:49,458
Tom and Kandus, and also,
442
00:19:49,542 --> 00:19:51,875
Casey Smith from
Qual-Tec Associates,
443
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,083
who's here to look out
444
00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:55,000
for any dangerous
radiation spikes
445
00:19:55,167 --> 00:19:56,167
that might show up tonight.
446
00:19:56,292 --> 00:19:58,792
So, we want all 17 sets of eyes
447
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:00,833
not only on what's happening
out there at the triangle,
448
00:20:00,958 --> 00:20:02,458
but also on the sky.
449
00:20:02,583 --> 00:20:04,375
There shouldn't be any
aircraft in this space,
450
00:20:04,542 --> 00:20:05,958
because we've had it cleared.
451
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:07,792
This is a restricted airspace.
452
00:20:07,917 --> 00:20:10,000
If anyone sees anything in
the sky when that rocket goes up
453
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,958
or when that payload's coming
down, I want to know about it.
454
00:20:13,042 --> 00:20:16,167
Right. As soon as
Erik and I have finished
455
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:18,167
turning on all the instruments
in the payload,
456
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:21,333
we hand it
to the Loc guys, right?
457
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,875
Then, everybody has to be back
458
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,667
1,000 feet from the rocket.
459
00:20:26,833 --> 00:20:30,125
Casey and Kaleb, you guys
should be down by Homestead Two
460
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:32,375
or the drilling site--
keep an eye on the skies.
461
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,167
Kandus, Tom,
if you don't mind, I'd like
462
00:20:35,292 --> 00:20:36,667
you to take
the east spotter position
463
00:20:36,792 --> 00:20:38,375
up on the mesa,
because there's going to be
464
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:40,292
things coming out of the rocket,
falling out.
465
00:20:40,417 --> 00:20:42,333
Try to watch and see if
you can see where they land.
466
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:45,750
Casey has brought some
instruments so that
467
00:20:45,875 --> 00:20:48,292
we have gamma ray
detection capability.
468
00:20:49,042 --> 00:20:50,333
So, Travis, I got one for you.
469
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:51,833
-All right.
-Erik.
470
00:20:51,958 --> 00:20:54,458
Any little spike is
going to trigger those.
471
00:20:54,583 --> 00:20:56,500
I think between
the bunch of us we're gonna be
472
00:20:56,625 --> 00:20:58,292
mixed in with everybody,
so if it
473
00:20:58,417 --> 00:21:00,292
-starts dinging, you'll know.
-ERIK: Yeah.
474
00:21:00,375 --> 00:21:02,625
Given the significance
of these experiments today,
475
00:21:02,708 --> 00:21:07,333
and the recent
acute medical episodes with Tom,
476
00:21:07,458 --> 00:21:10,500
I thought it was important
to bring Dr. Lee back.
477
00:21:10,583 --> 00:21:12,458
So, I appreciate
Dr. Lee coming in.
478
00:21:12,542 --> 00:21:16,125
It is great to be here. I
appreciate the focus on safety.
479
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:19,458
I know how much you have been
focusing and preparing to make
480
00:21:19,542 --> 00:21:21,042
sure that everything is
done very safe.
481
00:21:21,167 --> 00:21:23,333
BRANDON:
Something is going on,
482
00:21:23,458 --> 00:21:25,333
which, of course,
should raise all of our
483
00:21:25,458 --> 00:21:28,833
awareness and the seriousness
of this exercise.
484
00:21:28,958 --> 00:21:30,667
TRAVIS: You know,
that's a really good point.
485
00:21:30,792 --> 00:21:32,833
Let's keep an eye on each other.
Hear something, feel something,
486
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,667
smell something,
taste something, whatever that's
487
00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:38,125
unusual,
say something immediately.
488
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:40,667
ERIK:
Hopefully we'll be able to
make sense of any unusual events
489
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:42,583
that take place
during the course of this.
490
00:21:42,708 --> 00:21:44,708
-Let's get moving.
-All right.
491
00:21:44,875 --> 00:21:46,458
-Appreciate everybody's help.
-Thank you, guys.
492
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,333
All right, this is the spot.
493
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,250
Kaleb and Casey are in position.
494
00:22:01,375 --> 00:22:02,542
We're good to go. Over.
495
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:04,208
Copy that.
496
00:22:04,375 --> 00:22:05,875
TOM: So, they're shooting
from the triangle, right?
497
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,542
KANDUS: Yeah.
498
00:22:07,667 --> 00:22:09,500
TOM: I mean, we could
just go right up here.
499
00:22:09,625 --> 00:22:12,208
TRAVIS: Tonight is really
sort of the culmination of
500
00:22:12,375 --> 00:22:14,333
everything we've done
for the past three years.
501
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,833
We started out with some
small rockets in the first year.
502
00:22:16,958 --> 00:22:18,792
And then last year, we launched
some slightly bigger rockets.
503
00:22:18,875 --> 00:22:20,500
This year, we're doing
a much bigger rocket.
504
00:22:20,625 --> 00:22:22,583
Kandus. Tom. Do you guys copy?
505
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:25,167
Kandus and Tom
are in position on the mesa.
506
00:22:25,292 --> 00:22:27,167
Everything looks good from here.
507
00:22:27,333 --> 00:22:29,042
TRAVIS (over walkie):
Roger that.
508
00:22:29,208 --> 00:22:30,875
All right, guys, we're all set.
509
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,833
Let's wait until dark
and get this thing started.
510
00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:42,500
TRAVIS:
All right, guys.
Let's go ahead and turn
511
00:22:42,625 --> 00:22:44,958
the instruments on
and do our first launch.
512
00:22:49,208 --> 00:22:51,375
Bam. There they are!
513
00:22:51,542 --> 00:22:55,000
Check it out. Now see,
that is straight above us.
514
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:57,250
THOMAS:
Looking at this
laser cannon shooting up
515
00:22:57,375 --> 00:22:59,333
in the sky
for as far as I can see,
516
00:22:59,458 --> 00:23:02,000
I can only imagine what
the neighbors and the people
517
00:23:02,125 --> 00:23:03,917
in the surrounding areas
must think.
518
00:23:04,042 --> 00:23:07,333
I mean, you can see
this laser from miles away.
519
00:23:07,458 --> 00:23:09,083
TRAVIS:
Is that not crazy?
520
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:13,542
We've used lasers each summer,
and each summer we've
521
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:15,708
gotten bigger or more,
or spread them out more.
522
00:23:15,833 --> 00:23:18,167
And what we've seen,
each time we do an experiment
523
00:23:18,333 --> 00:23:21,333
like this is UAP in the sky.
524
00:23:21,458 --> 00:23:23,333
Or at least some sort of unknown
525
00:23:23,458 --> 00:23:25,083
atmospheric or aerial phenomena.
526
00:23:25,208 --> 00:23:27,708
So, who knows what's
gonna happen to us tonight?
527
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:31,833
TIM: So, we're taking that
file that you guys gave us,
528
00:23:31,958 --> 00:23:34,667
Travis, and running it
529
00:23:34,833 --> 00:23:37,125
-through this phone here.
-TRAVIS: Uh-huh.
530
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,667
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, there it is.
531
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:41,000
-I recognize that sound.
-Yeah.
532
00:23:41,167 --> 00:23:43,250
So, we're gonna take this
sound and we're gonna actually
533
00:23:43,375 --> 00:23:47,417
put it through this transmitter
that has a driver built into it,
534
00:23:47,542 --> 00:23:51,917
and it's going to take
that signal, and it's going to
535
00:23:52,042 --> 00:23:56,083
modulate the laser beam so it's
actually travelling into space.
536
00:23:56,208 --> 00:23:58,542
TRAVIS:
All right. Let's do it.
537
00:23:58,708 --> 00:24:01,667
We recorded this weird sound
here on the ranch.
538
00:24:01,792 --> 00:24:03,500
(radio frequency fluctuating)
539
00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:06,833
This 1.6 gigahertz frequency,
or wavelength.
540
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,750
-Oh, yeah. I heard it.
-That's crazy.
541
00:24:09,875 --> 00:24:13,167
TRAVIS:
Yeah, so it's modulating
the laser amplitude.
542
00:24:13,292 --> 00:24:15,750
We thought maybe it
was a communication signal,
543
00:24:15,875 --> 00:24:18,542
but we don't know
what it means or where
544
00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:20,625
it's coming from,
and what's creating it.
545
00:24:20,750 --> 00:24:22,875
So, we thought we
would play it back through
546
00:24:23,042 --> 00:24:25,667
the laser tonight to see if we
get any kind of response.
547
00:24:26,667 --> 00:24:28,667
All right so, have you
got everything else set up?
548
00:24:28,792 --> 00:24:31,583
-We do.
-All right, I say let's
clear the launch area because
549
00:24:31,708 --> 00:24:33,250
-we're about to launch
this rocket.
-Sounds good.
550
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:34,583
Thank y'all very much.
551
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:36,083
-Good job.
-BRYANT: Amazing.
552
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:45,000
We've got the lasers on
and lined up,
553
00:24:45,167 --> 00:24:46,333
and the rockets ready to go.
554
00:24:46,417 --> 00:24:49,708
We're gonna be in launch mode
555
00:24:49,875 --> 00:24:51,500
in probably about five minutes.
556
00:24:51,583 --> 00:24:53,333
I gotta tell you, Travis,
557
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,000
the alignment
looks perfect from here.
558
00:24:57,542 --> 00:25:00,125
TRAVIS:
The lasers were
beaming up perfectly through
559
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:03,583
the mile-high zone above
the triangle just as planned.
560
00:25:06,625 --> 00:25:09,208
-TOM: That's amazing.
-KANDUS: Wow.
561
00:25:09,375 --> 00:25:11,000
TRAVIS:
And with the 1.6 gigahertz
562
00:25:11,125 --> 00:25:13,625
communication signal being
broadcast up into that zone,
563
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:15,583
everybody was braced for
anything strange
564
00:25:15,708 --> 00:25:16,583
that might happen.
565
00:25:16,708 --> 00:25:18,750
It was finally time to
566
00:25:18,875 --> 00:25:20,458
launch our massive rocket.
567
00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:23,542
All right, gentlemen.
568
00:25:23,667 --> 00:25:25,250
Go ahead. Tell everybody we're
launching in 30 seconds.
569
00:25:25,375 --> 00:25:27,750
Okay, teams in the field.
570
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:30,708
Tom, Kandus,
Kaleb, Casey, we are about
571
00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:32,417
30 seconds from launch.
572
00:25:32,542 --> 00:25:37,542
-Be prepared and ready.
-Kaleb copy, over.
573
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:40,667
KANDUS:
10-4. Thank you. Over.
574
00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:42,958
-BRYANT: We're ready to go.
-Great.
575
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:44,958
-ALLEN: All right, in five.
-Five? All right.
576
00:25:45,042 --> 00:25:46,042
All right, you ready?
577
00:25:46,167 --> 00:25:49,375
In five, four,
578
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:52,333
three, two,
579
00:25:52,417 --> 00:25:53,917
one.
580
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:04,333
ALLEN:
Three. Two. One.
581
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:06,125
Push and hold.
582
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,583
ALLEN:
Uh-oh. That motor blew.
583
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,208
TRAVIS:
It exploded. Oh, no. Oh...
584
00:26:15,333 --> 00:26:18,083
DAVE: Hot greens. Hot greens.
Let's go, there could be a fire.
585
00:26:18,208 --> 00:26:19,542
-Yep.
-Oh, my God.
586
00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:27,542
What the hell just happened?
587
00:26:28,875 --> 00:26:32,667
-Jump in.
-THOMAS: Nobody get run over.
588
00:26:32,833 --> 00:26:34,125
TRAVIS:
Son of a bitch.
589
00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:35,958
Hang on, Bryant!
590
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:44,000
Damn it. That sucks.
591
00:26:44,125 --> 00:26:46,917
We were all set to shoot
our gigantic,
592
00:26:47,042 --> 00:26:49,000
main rocket
up into the mile-high zone
593
00:26:49,125 --> 00:26:52,250
above the triangle to
identify where this anomaly is,
594
00:26:52,375 --> 00:26:56,250
but it just blew up in
a fireball above the launch pad.
595
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:00,917
I don't see a fire.
596
00:27:02,625 --> 00:27:04,833
Right.
597
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,250
TRAVIS:
It blew out all the payload.
598
00:27:20,458 --> 00:27:23,208
-What the (bleep)?
-Here's another piece
right here.
599
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:26,167
-THOMAS: You found it all?
-TRAVIS: That's an instrument,
yeah.
600
00:27:26,292 --> 00:27:28,000
Damn it, that sucks.
601
00:27:28,125 --> 00:27:30,333
THOMAS:
This is definitely
a huge failure.
602
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:33,750
Seems like every single time
we've tried to monitor that
603
00:27:33,875 --> 00:27:36,833
5,000-foot mark above
the ranch, something goes wrong.
604
00:27:36,917 --> 00:27:40,750
Thomas, did you say that there
was a GPS piece that you found?
605
00:27:40,875 --> 00:27:42,792
BRYANT:
We've lost a bunch of
equipment.
606
00:27:42,917 --> 00:27:44,667
We didn't get
really anything out of
607
00:27:44,792 --> 00:27:46,792
the number of hours
that have gone into this.
608
00:27:46,917 --> 00:27:48,458
It's like the ranch was
putting its foot down
609
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:50,500
and telling us, "No."
610
00:27:50,625 --> 00:27:54,083
TRAVIS:
Is all the pyro out, though?
611
00:27:54,208 --> 00:27:56,083
Everybody, there could still be
powder somewhere,
612
00:27:56,208 --> 00:27:59,500
-so everybody...
-You haven't found
them all yet?
613
00:27:59,583 --> 00:28:01,125
-BRYANT: That blew.
-TRAVIS: Yep. It blew.
614
00:28:01,208 --> 00:28:04,292
BRYANT:
The powder blew. It blew
the payload compartment.
615
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,750
ALLEN:
Yep. It blew. Okay, we're safe.
616
00:28:07,875 --> 00:28:10,958
THOMAS: All right.
Hey, guys, we're safe.
617
00:28:11,083 --> 00:28:12,917
DAVE: When we launched
the 15-foot rocket,
618
00:28:13,042 --> 00:28:15,750
it had a forward seal failure
where the motor just couldn't
619
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:18,208
contain its pressure,
and the forward seal blew
620
00:28:18,333 --> 00:28:20,833
straight up, which it's
supposed to do upon a failure
621
00:28:20,958 --> 00:28:23,500
and that basically trashed
every instrument in the rocket.
622
00:28:23,583 --> 00:28:25,375
Radio check.
Anybody hearing me?
623
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:30,500
Erik, I hear you. Go ahead.
624
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,458
ERIK:
Can somebody tell me
what the hell is going on?
625
00:28:32,583 --> 00:28:34,667
I don't know where we are.
626
00:28:35,875 --> 00:28:39,833
TRAVIS: Sorry, Erik. We had
a catastrophic rocket failure.
627
00:28:39,958 --> 00:28:43,750
We're out here doing disaster
analysis right now.
628
00:28:43,875 --> 00:28:45,750
Never left the pad.
All the charges went off
629
00:28:45,875 --> 00:28:48,417
-and it blew it up on the pad.
-Copy that.
630
00:28:48,542 --> 00:28:50,875
Oh, boy.
631
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,875
ERIK: The outcome is a shock
and a disappointment.
632
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:56,250
It's not what we expected,
given all
633
00:28:56,375 --> 00:28:58,833
the sophistication
and the design of that rocket.
634
00:28:58,958 --> 00:29:01,000
Fortunately,
we have other rockets that
635
00:29:01,125 --> 00:29:03,875
we can launch into
the area above the triangle
636
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:06,208
in an effort
to continue the experiment.
637
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:10,625
-All right, so look.
We still got two rockets.
-Yeah.
638
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:12,708
So, uh, we can do
the final experiment that
639
00:29:12,833 --> 00:29:14,125
we planned on and use
the other rocket as a backup
640
00:29:14,208 --> 00:29:15,750
in case something
happens to that rocket.
641
00:29:15,875 --> 00:29:18,167
-Hundred percent.
-We're not gonna let it beat us.
642
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:20,375
Let's clean up.
Let's prep the next rocket.
643
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:21,875
Let's get the lasers ready,
644
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,417
and let's just do what
we've got to do.
645
00:29:23,542 --> 00:29:25,333
-Let's do what we do.
-BRYANT: That's exactly right.
646
00:29:25,417 --> 00:29:28,000
TRAVIS: Hey, look, we still
got the second rocket
647
00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:29,208
from Loc Precision
already prepared
648
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:30,458
with all of our sensors,
649
00:29:30,542 --> 00:29:31,625
we still got the Nu-Salt guys
650
00:29:31,708 --> 00:29:33,042
here with the lasers.
651
00:29:33,208 --> 00:29:34,458
We're gonna launch
another rocket and see
652
00:29:34,542 --> 00:29:35,958
what we can get out of that.
653
00:29:42,667 --> 00:29:44,792
TRAVIS:
All right, here we go.
654
00:29:47,958 --> 00:29:49,667
-Close, close, close.
-All right.
655
00:29:49,792 --> 00:29:51,333
-That's in.
-That's in.
656
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:58,125
TRAVIS:
So, how close are we?
657
00:29:58,208 --> 00:29:59,958
We just got to
put the igniter in
658
00:30:00,042 --> 00:30:01,250
and get everybody back
and we're good to go.
659
00:30:01,375 --> 00:30:03,333
So, we're ready to
clear the launch area?
660
00:30:03,458 --> 00:30:04,667
-A hundred percent.
-Okay.
661
00:30:04,792 --> 00:30:06,667
The rocket is loaded
on the launch pad.
662
00:30:06,833 --> 00:30:08,500
We're just getting ready
to clear out.
663
00:30:08,583 --> 00:30:11,000
KALEB:
10-4. We just got done
checking all the meters
664
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,583
out here, everything is 10-4.
665
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:15,000
Copy that. Thank you.
666
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:16,917
-TRAVIS: All right, let's do it.
-THOMAS: Yep.
667
00:30:17,042 --> 00:30:18,708
TRAVIS: All right, we need to
clear the launch pad, everybody.
668
00:30:18,833 --> 00:30:20,292
We're to that point.
669
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:31,125
-TRAVIS: We've got
about four minutes.
-DAVE: We're ready to go.
670
00:30:31,208 --> 00:30:33,500
THOMAS:
Do we need to radio Casey
671
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:35,167
and Kaleb, let them know
our countdown?
672
00:30:35,292 --> 00:30:37,750
-TRAVIS: Yep. Yes, we do.
-Casey and Kaleb?
673
00:30:37,875 --> 00:30:39,083
Do you guys have all
674
00:30:39,208 --> 00:30:41,708
-the instruments in place? Over.
-Tom, Kaleb.
675
00:30:41,833 --> 00:30:43,167
Yeah. 10-4.
676
00:30:43,292 --> 00:30:45,500
Everything's in place
and good on our end.
677
00:30:45,583 --> 00:30:47,250
Hey, Erik.
678
00:30:47,375 --> 00:30:49,417
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
679
00:30:49,542 --> 00:30:52,417
So, I'm wondering about
air traffic, are we clear?
680
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:54,250
We are clear.
681
00:30:54,375 --> 00:30:55,708
TRAVIS:
Although our second rocket
682
00:30:55,833 --> 00:30:57,792
was smaller at nine feet tall,
683
00:30:57,917 --> 00:31:00,375
it had plenty of power
to shoot up through the anomaly,
684
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:03,708
so we packed a payload
of chalk dust in that one, too,
685
00:31:03,833 --> 00:31:06,917
along with our GPS
and radiation sensors.
686
00:31:07,042 --> 00:31:09,792
We are one minute from
launching, guys, if you got
687
00:31:09,875 --> 00:31:11,167
the laser about ready.
688
00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:13,333
This was our
last chance to get some
689
00:31:13,417 --> 00:31:16,042
answers with rockets
at the triangle this year,
690
00:31:16,167 --> 00:31:18,542
so we were all hoping it would
launch as planned,
691
00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:21,750
and make a direct hit
through that mysterious zone.
692
00:31:21,875 --> 00:31:24,708
30 seconds and counting
on your timer, Travis.
693
00:31:24,833 --> 00:31:27,667
We got 30 seconds till launch.
694
00:31:27,792 --> 00:31:29,542
Yeah, I like
that elevation better.
695
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,375
Is that pointing
through the middle of the beam?
696
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,042
-Yeah. Right there.
-THOMAS: Ten seconds
and counting.
697
00:31:34,167 --> 00:31:35,083
-How much?
-THOMAS: Ten.
698
00:31:35,208 --> 00:31:36,292
All right, here we go. Do it.
699
00:31:36,417 --> 00:31:37,375
Here we go. Yes.
700
00:31:37,542 --> 00:31:40,792
THOMAS:
Five, four, three,
701
00:31:40,917 --> 00:31:43,542
two, one.
702
00:31:45,042 --> 00:31:47,250
TRAVIS:
There it goes!
703
00:31:51,542 --> 00:31:53,458
JIM:
That's fantastic.
704
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,167
DAVE:
What was that bend all about?
705
00:31:57,292 --> 00:31:59,417
It caught dramatically
to the north,
706
00:31:59,542 --> 00:32:01,792
so it couldn't
go up through the beam.
707
00:32:01,875 --> 00:32:03,417
What in the crap?
708
00:32:03,542 --> 00:32:04,875
DAVE:
So, there better be some
upper-level winds that
709
00:32:05,042 --> 00:32:06,417
would explain that out
of the north.
710
00:32:06,542 --> 00:32:08,833
What winds?
711
00:32:08,958 --> 00:32:11,125
It launches straight up
and it gets to about
712
00:32:11,208 --> 00:32:14,042
2,000, maybe 3,000 feet,
713
00:32:14,167 --> 00:32:16,667
and it does something
really unusual.
714
00:32:16,792 --> 00:32:21,375
It turned almost due north
and flew away from the triangle
715
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:24,000
area and away from the anomaly
that we know starts somewhere
716
00:32:24,083 --> 00:32:26,542
around 2,500 to 3,000 feet
717
00:32:26,667 --> 00:32:29,750
above ground level and up to
about 5,000 to 6,000 feet.
718
00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:31,917
It's like it got to that point
719
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:34,000
and turned away from it
somehow or other.
720
00:32:34,083 --> 00:32:35,750
Did you all see the smoke trail?
There was no wind
721
00:32:35,875 --> 00:32:37,333
in the contrail at all.
722
00:32:37,458 --> 00:32:39,042
There's no wind,
yet it gets deflected
723
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:42,833
-dramatically off to the north.
-There's no wind.
724
00:32:42,917 --> 00:32:45,000
What in the crap?
725
00:32:50,917 --> 00:32:53,333
Something deflected the rocket.
726
00:32:53,417 --> 00:32:56,000
I mean, what else could do it?
727
00:32:56,125 --> 00:32:58,083
And if it was gonna
blow up or break,
728
00:32:58,208 --> 00:32:59,792
it would've not kept going
straight like it did.
729
00:32:59,875 --> 00:33:01,250
It would have started
doing curlicues
730
00:33:01,375 --> 00:33:03,833
and everything else
on a structural failure.
731
00:33:03,958 --> 00:33:06,500
TRAVIS:
We had a perfect launch
with our nine-foot-tall rocket,
732
00:33:06,625 --> 00:33:09,000
and it was headed straight
for the anomalous zone
733
00:33:09,125 --> 00:33:11,500
above the triangle,
armed with chalk dust
734
00:33:11,625 --> 00:33:14,667
and all kinds of radiation
scanning devices,
735
00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:16,792
but something appeared to just
736
00:33:16,917 --> 00:33:18,667
knock it off course in midair.
737
00:33:19,583 --> 00:33:22,083
CASEY: There it is.
So, we got it right here.
738
00:33:24,208 --> 00:33:25,667
KALEB (over walkie):
We have eyes on the rocket.
739
00:33:25,833 --> 00:33:27,375
It's coming down above the mesa.
740
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:29,167
If they think it's
coming down above the mesa,
741
00:33:29,292 --> 00:33:31,000
it's coming down in Roosevelt.
742
00:33:31,875 --> 00:33:34,083
THOMAS:
That's miles out there, guys.
743
00:33:38,375 --> 00:33:41,583
TRAVIS: How far north does that
look like that is to y'all?
744
00:33:41,708 --> 00:33:42,917
A couple miles.
745
00:33:43,042 --> 00:33:45,792
It's way north of
where we're at right now.
746
00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:47,250
Yeah, that's what I think, too.
747
00:33:48,208 --> 00:33:50,708
The rocket had
so much propulsion power
748
00:33:50,833 --> 00:33:52,500
that it landed miles away.
749
00:33:52,583 --> 00:33:55,500
We were really anxious to
find it and recover the scanning
750
00:33:55,583 --> 00:33:59,542
and GPS devices inside to
see if we got data at the moment
751
00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:03,500
of impact with whatever
it was that sent it off course.
752
00:34:04,708 --> 00:34:08,042
KALEB:
I swear it looked like something
hit it and it shot north.
753
00:34:08,167 --> 00:34:10,458
Because it was going
straight up and then just, boom!
754
00:34:10,542 --> 00:34:12,042
Hmm.
755
00:34:13,333 --> 00:34:15,083
You can see
some of the smoke floating
756
00:34:15,208 --> 00:34:18,542
through the beam there, too.
Beam me up, Scotty.
757
00:34:19,417 --> 00:34:21,500
Yeah. So, typically
when the rocket launches,
758
00:34:21,625 --> 00:34:23,625
rockets always,
759
00:34:23,708 --> 00:34:25,667
if they're not a guided rocket,
meaning you're not steering it
760
00:34:25,833 --> 00:34:28,208
somehow, if it's just
what we call a dumb rocket,
761
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:32,500
when it goes up,
it will turn into the wind.
762
00:34:32,625 --> 00:34:35,167
Always. Always.
Physics makes it do that.
763
00:34:35,292 --> 00:34:37,375
And so, the way
that rocket went up
764
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:39,917
and turned,
it suggests there's winds
765
00:34:40,042 --> 00:34:42,292
aloft somewhere at
where it made the turn.
766
00:34:42,375 --> 00:34:46,167
But there's smoke setting right
there where it made the turn.
767
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:47,583
So, there's no wind!
768
00:34:48,792 --> 00:34:50,292
It wasn't just a slight bend.
769
00:34:50,417 --> 00:34:53,042
That thing went up
and threw its signal on
770
00:34:53,208 --> 00:34:55,417
and went straight north.
771
00:34:55,542 --> 00:34:57,500
So, it doesn't appear
that there is any immediate
772
00:34:57,625 --> 00:34:59,458
conventional explanation
from what we just observed.
773
00:34:59,583 --> 00:35:02,208
-Zero.
-TRAVIS: Yeah,
it makes no sense to me.
774
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:03,833
THOMAS: You know,
it kind of reminds me
775
00:35:03,958 --> 00:35:05,333
of that experiment where we
776
00:35:05,417 --> 00:35:08,292
dropped these
bottles out of a helicopter
777
00:35:08,375 --> 00:35:10,792
using GPS coordinates,
and when they dropped those
778
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:14,667
bottles, we found some of
them a mile and a quarter away.
779
00:35:14,750 --> 00:35:17,458
TRAVIS:
Yeah, and some of the
data showed that it looked like
780
00:35:17,542 --> 00:35:20,708
a bottle fell down and turned
and went away from that spot.
781
00:35:20,833 --> 00:35:22,875
BRANDON:
Really? Okay. Wow.
782
00:35:24,083 --> 00:35:26,583
-TRAVIS: All right,
dropping now.
-CAMERON: Dropping now.
783
00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:30,417
TRAVIS:
About two months ago,
Dragon and I flew up above
784
00:35:30,542 --> 00:35:32,333
the mile-high zone
at the triangle to drop
785
00:35:32,458 --> 00:35:35,333
bottles containing GPS
devices down though it
786
00:35:35,458 --> 00:35:38,375
to see if we could identify
the anomaly's exact location.
787
00:35:39,708 --> 00:35:43,417
-ERIK: Look what happens here.
-TRAVIS: Holy cow. Look at that.
788
00:35:43,542 --> 00:35:45,708
But when we recovered
the bottles on the ground
789
00:35:45,833 --> 00:35:47,167
and processed the data,
790
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,542
it showed that two of them
791
00:35:48,667 --> 00:35:50,458
actually bounced off something
792
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:53,292
just like what
happened with our rocket.
793
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:55,833
Wow.
794
00:35:55,958 --> 00:35:57,333
TRAVIS:
Did we just encounter
795
00:35:57,458 --> 00:35:59,292
the same anomaly up there?
796
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:01,750
If so, what the heck
is this thing?
797
00:36:01,875 --> 00:36:03,667
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
798
00:36:04,833 --> 00:36:06,542
Hey, Travis, you copy?
799
00:36:06,667 --> 00:36:08,208
TRAVIS:
Yeah, Erik, go ahead.
800
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,000
If Brandon is nearby,
801
00:36:10,083 --> 00:36:11,292
can you bring him in real quick?
802
00:36:13,667 --> 00:36:15,917
TRAVIS:
We'll be right there.
803
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:20,167
What's going on, Erik?
804
00:36:20,958 --> 00:36:23,375
Travis, you gotta see this.
805
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,333
-Okay.
-There's the lasers.
806
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:27,000
Yeah, I'm doing
an instant playback.
807
00:36:27,125 --> 00:36:29,125
-Oh! Yeah.
-Do you see this?
808
00:36:29,208 --> 00:36:30,792
BRANDON: Wow.
809
00:36:30,917 --> 00:36:33,125
-TRAVIS: What the crap is that?
-BRANDON: It's moving.
810
00:36:33,250 --> 00:36:36,292
It's moving way too
fast for it to be a satellite.
811
00:36:36,417 --> 00:36:37,875
BRANDON: And this just
appeared next to the lasers?
812
00:36:38,042 --> 00:36:40,708
ERIK: Yeah, it looks like
it's headed towards the apex.
813
00:36:40,875 --> 00:36:42,000
TRAVIS:
That's crazy.
814
00:36:42,917 --> 00:36:45,125
-When did this appear?
-This was just now.
815
00:36:45,208 --> 00:36:47,458
-Oh, my gosh.
-Okay. I want to play it back.
816
00:36:47,542 --> 00:36:50,167
TRAVIS:
Just after our rocket
got deflected away from
817
00:36:50,292 --> 00:36:52,875
the mile-high zone
above the triangle,
818
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,500
Erik captured one of
the most vivid UAPs we've
819
00:36:55,583 --> 00:36:57,083
seen during our experiments.
820
00:36:57,208 --> 00:36:58,833
And it was
maneuvering right above
821
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,833
the apex of our laser beams
where we were also
822
00:37:01,917 --> 00:37:04,958
broadcasting our 1.6 gigahertz
communication signal.
823
00:37:05,042 --> 00:37:09,167
So, all I could wonder was
did we cause that to appear,
824
00:37:09,292 --> 00:37:12,083
and is that
what deflected our rocket?
825
00:37:12,208 --> 00:37:15,083
Is there any way
it could be air traffic?
826
00:37:15,208 --> 00:37:17,958
I mean, we still
have a no-fly zone.
827
00:37:18,042 --> 00:37:19,667
TRAVIS:
No. It's moving so fast.
828
00:37:19,792 --> 00:37:22,667
-ERIK: Yeah, there's no strobe.
-Look right here.
829
00:37:22,833 --> 00:37:26,167
-This thing is really
clipping along.
-Oh, my gosh.
830
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:28,083
It disappeared. Can you
replay that, please?
831
00:37:28,208 --> 00:37:30,917
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on.
-What did it disappear into?
832
00:37:31,042 --> 00:37:32,375
It's not cloudy.
833
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,583
-ERIK: And gone.
-Look at that. Look at that.
834
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:47,375
BRANDON:
That's insane.
835
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:49,042
TRAVIS:
Where did it disappear into?
836
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:50,375
Oh, my gosh.
837
00:37:52,375 --> 00:37:54,375
That's insane.
838
00:37:54,542 --> 00:37:56,625
TRAVIS: Erik caught a UAP
on surveillance cameras
839
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:59,083
that appeared
directly above the apex of
840
00:37:59,208 --> 00:38:01,500
our laser formation
over the triangle.
841
00:38:01,583 --> 00:38:03,792
But then it just
vanished into thin air
842
00:38:03,917 --> 00:38:07,042
right where we keep detecting
massive energy spikes.
843
00:38:07,167 --> 00:38:09,667
This is, like,
just like minutes ago.
844
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:12,333
How did we not see that
out there? How did we miss that?
845
00:38:12,458 --> 00:38:13,625
I don't know, but thank goodness
846
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:16,542
the surveillance cameras
picked it up.
847
00:38:16,667 --> 00:38:18,167
TRAVIS:
Look at that. Look at that.
848
00:38:18,333 --> 00:38:20,792
We'll go back and replay this.
849
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:22,833
This is the point
at which I just caught
850
00:38:22,917 --> 00:38:25,125
a glimpse of this thing.
It emerged from,
851
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:27,500
-I don't know if it was...
-TRAVIS: That's down
below the Mesa.
852
00:38:27,583 --> 00:38:30,458
I don't know if I'm seeing
what I think I'm seeing or not.
853
00:38:30,542 --> 00:38:34,708
BRANDON: Is it a portal?
Are we seeing portals open?
854
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:38,833
-Yeah.
-ERIK: Okay.
855
00:38:38,958 --> 00:38:42,583
Oh, wait. Back it up.
All right. Back it up.
856
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:47,250
TRAVIS:
It does look like
it's going right
857
00:38:47,375 --> 00:38:49,000
to where the lasers
are pointing.
858
00:38:49,125 --> 00:38:51,625
-ERIK: Okay.
You want me to zoom in?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
859
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:54,208
Looks like there's some kind of
structure in the middle of it.
860
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,708
ERIK:
It has edges.
861
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:04,167
-ERIK: Do you see that?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
862
00:39:04,333 --> 00:39:06,333
But the edges seem to move.
863
00:39:06,458 --> 00:39:07,667
BRANDON:
Check it out.
864
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:12,750
TRAVIS:
It looks sort of amorphous.
865
00:39:13,833 --> 00:39:15,500
Yeah, it does
appear to be changing shape.
866
00:39:15,583 --> 00:39:17,667
BRANDON:
Unbelievable.
867
00:39:18,625 --> 00:39:21,125
TRAVIS:
Now, I don't know,
but it looks like
868
00:39:21,208 --> 00:39:22,500
the UAP we saw tonight
869
00:39:22,583 --> 00:39:23,792
might have come from behind
870
00:39:23,875 --> 00:39:26,375
or actually from inside
the mesa.
871
00:39:26,542 --> 00:39:27,875
And then it just disappeared
872
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,125
into the anomaly
above the triangle.
873
00:39:30,208 --> 00:39:31,625
BRANDON:
That's crazy.
874
00:39:32,542 --> 00:39:34,458
TRAVIS: Is that what
messed with our rockets?
875
00:39:34,542 --> 00:39:36,500
Did we cause it to appear
by broadcasting
876
00:39:36,667 --> 00:39:38,667
the 1.6 gigahertz signal?
877
00:39:38,792 --> 00:39:41,000
And then, where did it go?
878
00:39:41,167 --> 00:39:44,000
Skinwalker Ranch has
been a haven for rumors about
879
00:39:44,125 --> 00:39:47,708
UAPs actually entering
and exiting from the mesa,
880
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:50,542
portals and all kinds
of other bizarre phenomena
881
00:39:50,708 --> 00:39:52,542
for decades, if not centuries.
882
00:39:52,667 --> 00:39:55,333
Tonight,
we may have finally captured
883
00:39:55,417 --> 00:39:58,292
evidence that some
of that could be true.
884
00:39:58,417 --> 00:40:00,167
All right, make sure
to save this right away.
885
00:40:00,292 --> 00:40:01,542
What the heck is that?
886
00:40:01,708 --> 00:40:03,792
BRANDON:
That's insane.
887
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:08,750
TRAVIS:
Many past investigators,
from Robert Bigelow's team
888
00:40:08,875 --> 00:40:11,458
as well as members from
the Indigenous community,
889
00:40:11,542 --> 00:40:13,917
have all stated that
they believe portals
890
00:40:14,042 --> 00:40:17,000
to other dimensions
exist on Skinwalker Ranch.
891
00:40:17,125 --> 00:40:19,708
Now, I'm not ready
to make that my belief,
892
00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:22,500
but I think it's
a valid enough hypothesis
893
00:40:22,583 --> 00:40:25,208
that we need
to focus our investigation on.
894
00:40:26,167 --> 00:40:27,958
ERIK:
I don't think it's
an exaggeration to say
895
00:40:28,042 --> 00:40:29,833
that some of what we've
seen during this exercise
896
00:40:29,958 --> 00:40:34,167
ranks among the strangest
events that we've witnessed.
897
00:40:35,458 --> 00:40:37,958
Are we dealing with something
898
00:40:38,083 --> 00:40:41,667
that is technological
and even volitional?
899
00:40:41,792 --> 00:40:43,833
We all want to know
the answer to this.
900
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,417
Oh, my gosh.
901
00:40:45,542 --> 00:40:47,667
We were shocked to see,
right there next
902
00:40:47,833 --> 00:40:52,500
to the lasers, pointing
to an apex above the triangle,
903
00:40:52,625 --> 00:40:56,583
a UFO, literally
monitoring our efforts.
904
00:40:56,708 --> 00:41:00,167
Is it a coincidence
that this sighting
905
00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:04,792
followed the catastrophic events
of the exploding rocket before?
906
00:41:04,917 --> 00:41:06,708
I don't think so.
907
00:41:07,833 --> 00:41:09,667
How do we better understand
908
00:41:09,833 --> 00:41:13,208
what kind of forces
we are dealing with?
909
00:41:14,125 --> 00:41:16,500
Are they trying to
thwart our investigation?
910
00:41:16,583 --> 00:41:18,667
Are they trying to
harm our team?
911
00:41:18,833 --> 00:41:21,792
Are we truly dealing
with what many refer to
912
00:41:21,917 --> 00:41:24,792
as a precognitive,
sentient intelligence?
913
00:41:24,875 --> 00:41:28,083
Or is there something more
at work at Skinwalker Ranch?
914
00:41:35,292 --> 00:41:37,333
-Spinning up.
-ERIK: Pete Kelsey
has brought on
915
00:41:37,417 --> 00:41:40,125
-some of the most
advanced technology.
-That's amazing.
916
00:41:40,250 --> 00:41:41,667
TRAVIS:
I found a signal
917
00:41:41,792 --> 00:41:43,625
that was an intelligent
communication.
918
00:41:43,708 --> 00:41:46,667
We want people
at other facilities
919
00:41:46,792 --> 00:41:48,583
to check out the signal, too.
920
00:41:48,708 --> 00:41:50,417
I think it'd be a good idea to
get everyone's eyes on this.
921
00:41:50,542 --> 00:41:51,875
-Absolutely.
-Let's do.
922
00:41:52,042 --> 00:41:53,958
ERIK: This is
a three-dimensional model of
923
00:41:54,042 --> 00:41:55,750
the entire mesa, and look at
what's sticking up in the sky.
924
00:41:55,875 --> 00:41:57,875
-Wow!
-Never seen it before.
925
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,125
I've never seen
anything like it before.
926
00:41:59,208 --> 00:42:00,667
How do we move forward?
927
00:42:00,833 --> 00:42:03,917
