Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,333
-TRAVIS: Oh, wow.
-We've been wanting
2
00:00:03,417 --> 00:00:06,292
to fly a pattern of drones over
the triangle and the east field.
3
00:00:06,417 --> 00:00:07,375
TRAVIS (over radio):
There are several drones
4
00:00:07,542 --> 00:00:10,000
out of line we can see
from my perspective.
5
00:00:10,125 --> 00:00:11,958
They're clearly out of place.
6
00:00:12,083 --> 00:00:13,208
Yeah, we've got eyes on that.
7
00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:14,917
I have 80 disconnected.
8
00:00:15,042 --> 00:00:16,292
They're coming home.
9
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:19,375
Three, two, one!
10
00:00:21,125 --> 00:00:23,167
KALEB:
We got something right there.
11
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:25,667
TRAVIS: There's a thing
hovering over the launch site!
12
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:28,875
PETE: So there's a gap
in the data from the triangle
13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,417
at the top of the mesa.
14
00:00:31,542 --> 00:00:34,083
Somehow we've got
to get inside the mesa.
15
00:00:35,708 --> 00:00:39,167
NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.
16
00:00:39,292 --> 00:00:41,292
It is considered the epicenter
17
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:46,542
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
18
00:00:46,708 --> 00:00:48,625
animal mutilations,
19
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,375
bizarre UFO sightings
20
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,583
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
21
00:00:55,708 --> 00:00:58,750
For 20 years,
the federal government
22
00:00:58,875 --> 00:01:01,750
tried to find answers
and failed.
23
00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:06,042
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
24
00:01:06,167 --> 00:01:10,167
researchers and experts
has taken over.
25
00:01:10,292 --> 00:01:13,708
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
26
00:01:16,417 --> 00:01:20,167
...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
27
00:01:32,708 --> 00:01:34,292
-Pete!
-Hey, Pete.
28
00:01:34,375 --> 00:01:36,167
I want you to meet
some friends of mine.
29
00:01:36,292 --> 00:01:38,167
-All right.
-(Pete chuckling)
30
00:01:38,292 --> 00:01:41,167
TRAVIS:
After our experiment
at the triangle last week
31
00:01:41,292 --> 00:01:43,833
actually revealed that
there might be a connection
32
00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:46,667
to the mesa, we invited
Pete Kelsey and his colleague,
33
00:01:46,792 --> 00:01:50,250
ground-penetrating radar
expert Jan Francke
34
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:53,833
to help us with a new
investigation of that area.
35
00:01:53,958 --> 00:01:55,667
Well, welcome to the ranch.
36
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,667
Thank you. Happy to be here.
37
00:01:56,792 --> 00:01:58,708
TRAVIS:
So, uh, Pete tells us
that you've
38
00:01:58,875 --> 00:02:00,167
got some interesting technology
39
00:02:00,250 --> 00:02:02,167
that might help us out
at the mesa.
40
00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:04,417
Yeah, I make deep
ground-penetrating
41
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:06,333
radar systems and I've got
one that I made
42
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,125
for you guys that's a really,
really small one.
43
00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:10,208
It can get up over
44
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:12,875
some of that really rough
rocks, rock face
45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,333
that you wouldn't be able
to drag a normal radar on.
46
00:02:14,417 --> 00:02:16,750
And I've got one
that's a really deep
47
00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:17,583
penetrating ground-based system
48
00:02:17,708 --> 00:02:18,833
that looks
like a snake actually.
49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,667
-We use this for
the mining industry.
-Okay.
50
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:23,167
JAN: What is it you're
actually expecting to see?
51
00:02:23,292 --> 00:02:24,667
What are you looking for here?
52
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:28,000
-We've heard about caves
inside of the mesa.
-Okay.
53
00:02:28,125 --> 00:02:31,208
We're actually looking for
also a-a structure that was
54
00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:33,250
impenetrable to our drilling.
55
00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:35,333
You know, as we went back
into that mesa,
56
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:36,792
we were using a directional
drilling technique
57
00:02:36,875 --> 00:02:39,167
that should have been
able to turn upward
58
00:02:39,292 --> 00:02:40,667
but could not,
we couldn't get through
59
00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:42,500
that layer,
so it was a dome shape there.
60
00:02:42,583 --> 00:02:44,542
And of course we'll
be especially interested
61
00:02:44,667 --> 00:02:46,292
if we see anything
that looks unnatural.
62
00:02:46,417 --> 00:02:48,583
-Absolutely.
-Beneath that surface.
63
00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:51,500
In our ongoing efforts
to find the answers behind
64
00:02:51,625 --> 00:02:55,417
all the strange phenomena
that occur on Skinwalker Ranch,
65
00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:58,417
we're now getting
focused back on the mesa.
66
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:02,000
Oh, wow, look at that!
67
00:03:02,167 --> 00:03:04,000
We were all baffled one week ago
68
00:03:04,167 --> 00:03:06,958
when the drone swarm
we launched over the triangle
69
00:03:07,042 --> 00:03:08,583
to pinpoint an anomaly
70
00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:11,875
between 300 and 5,000 feet
began malfunctioning.
71
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:14,792
-Look at that one!
-One's falling, one's falling!
72
00:03:14,917 --> 00:03:17,667
-They're running
into each other!
-THOMAS: They're going crazy!
73
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:20,042
Almost all of them
are disconnected right now.
74
00:03:20,208 --> 00:03:21,750
PETE:
What I'm going to bring up
now is the data
75
00:03:21,875 --> 00:03:24,542
from the terrestrial
laser scanner.
76
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:27,542
TRAVIS:
And then the lidar data
that Pete recorded
77
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,583
was missing a big chunk of data
78
00:03:29,708 --> 00:03:32,458
that somehow appeared right over
79
00:03:32,583 --> 00:03:36,458
that same spot where we drilled
into the mesa last year,
80
00:03:36,542 --> 00:03:40,417
and discovered a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metal object.
81
00:03:40,542 --> 00:03:42,917
-Wow.
-A metal object made of
82
00:03:43,042 --> 00:03:45,000
the same kind of material
83
00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:48,500
that NASA uses to protect
the outside of space shuttles.
84
00:03:48,625 --> 00:03:51,417
So, now we're hoping that Jan,
85
00:03:51,542 --> 00:03:54,833
who is a world-renowned expert
in ground-penetrating radar,
86
00:03:54,958 --> 00:03:57,542
has the technology
that can help us figure out
87
00:03:57,667 --> 00:03:59,750
just what's inside the mesa
88
00:03:59,875 --> 00:04:02,500
and how it might be related
to the strange things
89
00:04:02,625 --> 00:04:04,792
that keep happening
at the triangle.
90
00:04:04,875 --> 00:04:08,375
So, uh, how deep
of a-a penetration can you get?
91
00:04:08,542 --> 00:04:10,750
Usually we get down to 200,
300 feet with this,
92
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:12,000
so it's pretty exciting.
93
00:04:12,125 --> 00:04:14,042
TRAVIS:
GPR works by sending
94
00:04:14,167 --> 00:04:16,000
radio waves into the ground
95
00:04:16,125 --> 00:04:19,500
that reflect off anomalies
like buried objects or voids
96
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:23,542
to reveal an image of their
shape as well as their depth.
97
00:04:23,708 --> 00:04:26,333
If there's a discontinuity
or a void,
98
00:04:26,417 --> 00:04:27,792
we definitely should
be able to see that.
99
00:04:27,875 --> 00:04:29,833
-What about metal?
-(chuckles) Well,
100
00:04:29,958 --> 00:04:31,625
yeah, metal's
a great target for radar,
101
00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:32,750
so if there's
something metal there,
102
00:04:32,875 --> 00:04:34,667
we'd certainly
be able to see that as well.
103
00:04:34,792 --> 00:04:35,833
BRYANT:
Sounds like we've got
a lot to do.
104
00:04:35,917 --> 00:04:37,250
-We should probably get to it.
-Let's do it.
105
00:04:37,375 --> 00:04:40,042
-All right, we'll see you.
Y'all just follow us down there.
-Okay.
106
00:04:42,958 --> 00:04:46,292
TRAVIS:
Even before we discovered
this mysterious metal object,
107
00:04:46,375 --> 00:04:49,833
there were all kinds of rumors
about the mesa going back
108
00:04:49,917 --> 00:04:52,542
to when Robert Bigelow
and the federal government
109
00:04:52,708 --> 00:04:56,042
investigated here from
the 1990s to the early 2000s.
110
00:04:58,542 --> 00:05:02,167
-X marks the spot, Pete.
-X marks the spot.
111
00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:05,375
THOMAS:
I've heard all kinds of
crazy stories about this mesa.
112
00:05:05,542 --> 00:05:07,667
Spacecraft going in it, tunnels,
113
00:05:07,792 --> 00:05:10,292
caverns, underground bases.
114
00:05:10,375 --> 00:05:12,167
What kind of mysteries
lie inside?
115
00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:17,667
BRANDON:
For decades, there have been
reports of underground chambers
116
00:05:17,792 --> 00:05:21,167
or tunnels beneath the mesa.
117
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:23,375
That may hold
the key to understanding
118
00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:25,667
the secrets of Skinwalker Ranch.
119
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,208
The deeper we can see
into that pile of rocks,
120
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:29,167
-into that mesa...
-JAN: Sure.
121
00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:30,333
Uh, the more we're
gonna understand
122
00:05:30,458 --> 00:05:32,417
what it is we're
messing with out here.
123
00:05:32,542 --> 00:05:34,625
Okay. It'll be interesting
to see what's underground.
124
00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:36,417
TRAVIS:
So that's the antenna?
125
00:05:36,542 --> 00:05:37,833
JAN:
Well, it's the entire radar.
126
00:05:37,917 --> 00:05:39,000
These are the antennas
right here,
127
00:05:39,083 --> 00:05:40,083
this is just a separator.
128
00:05:40,208 --> 00:05:42,083
It's all fiberglass, keep it
as light as possible.
129
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:42,833
We can't use carbon fiber
130
00:05:42,958 --> 00:05:44,083
because it's conductive,
of course.
131
00:05:44,208 --> 00:05:46,208
TRAVIS:
Jan has brought two devices
132
00:05:46,375 --> 00:05:48,167
that we'll use to scan the mesa.
133
00:05:48,250 --> 00:05:51,542
One is a unit that Tom Winterton
will actually wear
134
00:05:51,708 --> 00:05:53,417
while he hikes over the area
where we drilled
135
00:05:53,542 --> 00:05:56,625
against the dome-shaped
object last year.
136
00:05:56,708 --> 00:06:00,375
And meanwhile, Jan and Kaleb
will run the other device
137
00:06:00,542 --> 00:06:02,292
back and forth
on top of the mesa
138
00:06:02,417 --> 00:06:05,667
to see if anything else
might be hidden inside there
139
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:07,542
like we've heard about
in the past.
140
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,500
Well, it looks like
we're just about set up
141
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:11,708
so, uh, talk us through
what you're going to do.
142
00:06:11,875 --> 00:06:13,792
Okay, there's a couple
of GPR systems here.
143
00:06:13,917 --> 00:06:15,500
So, this one here,
what's really nice about it,
144
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:16,667
it's a very long wavelength
145
00:06:16,792 --> 00:06:18,833
which means we're
gonna get good penetration.
146
00:06:18,958 --> 00:06:21,208
And because it's handheld,
it gives us, uh, the ability
147
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,667
-to get into areas that are
really difficult terrain.
-ERIK: Okay.
148
00:06:23,792 --> 00:06:25,208
So, we're set up over here.
149
00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:27,500
-JAN: Yep.
-ERIK: We're gonna be doing
the usual data logging.
150
00:06:27,625 --> 00:06:28,667
We've got the SDR,
151
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:30,833
we've got the, uh,
Geiger counter running.
152
00:06:30,958 --> 00:06:33,000
-Okay.
-All right, man,
well, let-let's get going.
153
00:06:33,125 --> 00:06:34,375
Okay, sounds good.
154
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:35,667
ERIK:
With all that
we have going on
155
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:38,292
and to the extent possible,
I'm keeping a close eye
156
00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:39,333
on the RF spectrum analyzer
157
00:06:39,458 --> 00:06:42,458
to see if any
unusual signals show up.
158
00:06:42,542 --> 00:06:44,500
Are you centered on 45?
159
00:06:44,625 --> 00:06:47,667
-That would be 44.5 something.
-Good enough.
160
00:06:47,833 --> 00:06:50,625
TRAVIS: Nearly every time
we run experiments on the ranch,
161
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:52,875
we detect mysterious
energy spikes,
162
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,125
especially one
measuring 1.6 gigahertz,
163
00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:00,542
which I think could be some
kind of communication signal.
164
00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:02,167
Go ahead and turn it on.
165
00:07:02,292 --> 00:07:03,167
I've turned it on.
166
00:07:03,250 --> 00:07:04,625
Okay, I've got the transmitter
and receiver
167
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:05,917
-working right now.
-Okay.
168
00:07:06,042 --> 00:07:07,792
And it creates
its own little website.
169
00:07:07,875 --> 00:07:09,583
-It's like a little
access point, so...
-Okay.
170
00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:10,958
-...even though we're
not on the Internet here,
171
00:07:11,083 --> 00:07:12,250
I'm gonna talk to it
with my phone.
172
00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:13,333
Okay.
173
00:07:13,458 --> 00:07:18,125
And you are good...
174
00:07:21,083 --> 00:07:23,333
...good to go.
175
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:25,792
Um... Um...
176
00:07:25,917 --> 00:07:28,292
-Are you guys
transmitting something?
-BRYANT: No.
177
00:07:28,417 --> 00:07:30,333
-No.
-Hey, Erik. Travis.
178
00:07:30,458 --> 00:07:31,542
-Are you guys
transmitting anything?
-Are you transmitting something?
179
00:07:31,667 --> 00:07:33,833
-TRAVIS: No.
-ERIK: No. We're not
transmitting at all.
180
00:07:33,917 --> 00:07:35,875
-What are you seeing?
-JAN: Uh...
181
00:07:36,042 --> 00:07:39,500
Uh, I've never seen
this signal before, uh...
182
00:07:39,583 --> 00:07:40,958
What the hell?
183
00:07:43,167 --> 00:07:46,083
This waveform is not supposed
to be happening right now.
184
00:07:46,208 --> 00:07:47,500
TRAVIS:
Where's it coming from?
185
00:07:47,625 --> 00:07:50,000
JAN:
Yeah, that's a good question.
Where's it coming from?
186
00:07:50,167 --> 00:07:52,333
Let's-let's... Way back
from the truck here
187
00:07:52,458 --> 00:07:54,500
just to be absolutely certain.
188
00:07:54,667 --> 00:07:57,542
Uh... Okay.
189
00:07:57,667 --> 00:07:58,875
Do you have a cell phone
on you or something?
190
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,167
Well, I mean, I got one in my
back pocket but I got it on...
191
00:08:00,333 --> 00:08:01,833
Yeah, let's just take that out
if you don't mind.
192
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,500
-Turn it off.
-Here, I'll turn it off.
193
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:04,583
Yeah. Okay.
194
00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:06,667
That ain't it.
195
00:08:06,792 --> 00:08:08,750
JAN:
See, so that's a normal wave-
form there just for a second.
196
00:08:08,875 --> 00:08:09,833
-Right?
-Mm-hmm, yeah, I see it, yep.
197
00:08:09,958 --> 00:08:12,250
But it's freaking out.
198
00:08:12,375 --> 00:08:15,417
TRAVIS:
Jan actually built the systems
he brought out here,
199
00:08:15,542 --> 00:08:17,000
he understands them completely.
200
00:08:17,167 --> 00:08:18,833
He is the guy for
ground-penetrating radar.
201
00:08:18,958 --> 00:08:21,333
As soon as we got one
of his systems off the truck
202
00:08:21,458 --> 00:08:24,792
and turned it on,
it was instantly detecting
203
00:08:24,917 --> 00:08:28,000
a signal that Jan
had never seen before.
204
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:31,000
In thousands of experiments
using this device,
205
00:08:31,125 --> 00:08:33,000
he was baffled and confused.
206
00:08:33,167 --> 00:08:34,958
I find that really interesting.
207
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:37,333
So you've not seen that before?
208
00:08:37,458 --> 00:08:40,500
Uh, no, actually, I have not.
209
00:08:40,667 --> 00:08:42,500
And I tested it
this morning, so...
210
00:08:42,625 --> 00:08:44,000
I'm gonna go scroll through the
spectrum analyzer over here.
211
00:08:44,167 --> 00:08:46,625
-You tested it this morning
and it was working?
-I did.
212
00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:48,208
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little strange.
213
00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:50,125
Um, there's nothing
I can do about it.
214
00:08:50,208 --> 00:08:51,167
I think we're just
gonna run with it and
215
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:53,625
-see if we can filter it out.
-Understood.
216
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:54,917
When I first came on this ranch,
217
00:08:55,042 --> 00:08:58,667
I-I just thought, "Look, there's
a lot of hype around it
218
00:08:58,792 --> 00:09:01,083
and I'm sure everything
can be explained, right?"
219
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:02,750
Then weird things
started happening.
220
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:04,833
I-I had that weird interference
221
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,792
that just has no simple
geological explanation.
222
00:09:07,875 --> 00:09:10,125
I'm gonna start recording this.
223
00:09:10,208 --> 00:09:12,125
-Okay, well, I'm gonna head
up the mesa so...
-JAN: Okay. Careful.
224
00:09:12,250 --> 00:09:15,833
THOMAS:
Having pulled metal
400 feet inside the mesa
225
00:09:15,917 --> 00:09:18,125
and now strongly suspecting
that there could've
226
00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:21,500
actually been a cavern
that went deep into the mesa,
227
00:09:21,667 --> 00:09:25,000
I'm praying that the information
that we get from this GPR
228
00:09:25,125 --> 00:09:26,917
is finally going to answer
some of the questions
229
00:09:27,042 --> 00:09:29,458
we have as far as what
was this object
230
00:09:29,583 --> 00:09:33,083
we were bumping up against
with the drill last year?
231
00:09:33,208 --> 00:09:35,625
TRAVIS:
Man, he's up there. Look at him.
232
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,542
What you're gonna do for me
is drag this
233
00:09:37,708 --> 00:09:39,000
and it doesn't have to be
a straight line
234
00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:40,458
because we're tracking
exactly where you are
235
00:09:40,542 --> 00:09:41,292
-at all times, right?
-Mm-hmm.
236
00:09:41,417 --> 00:09:43,208
And, uh, this is going
to be taking
237
00:09:43,333 --> 00:09:44,375
an image of the ground
essentially.
238
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,667
-It's a representation
of what's in the ground.
-Yep.
239
00:09:46,833 --> 00:09:48,000
So, one's a transmitter,
one's a receiver
240
00:09:48,167 --> 00:09:49,625
and it's gonna stretch
out behind you
241
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:51,417
-about five, six meters.
-Okay.
242
00:09:51,542 --> 00:09:53,667
KALEB:
As Thomas is going
up the mesa there,
243
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:56,542
I've been tasked
with escorting Jan.
244
00:09:56,667 --> 00:09:58,000
He's got a very powerful
245
00:09:58,083 --> 00:10:01,458
GPR system that's been
used all over the world.
246
00:10:01,583 --> 00:10:03,583
So, this is a very
deep-penetrating radar.
247
00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:07,333
In fact, it's probably
the world's deepest GPR system.
248
00:10:07,458 --> 00:10:09,625
I'm excited to see
what kind of results we get
249
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:11,000
and I'm here to help him out
250
00:10:11,125 --> 00:10:12,292
with scanning as much as we can.
251
00:10:12,417 --> 00:10:14,875
All right, let's hope
the GPS works.
252
00:10:17,083 --> 00:10:19,958
TRAVIS:
There are so many questions
I have about Skinwalker Ranch.
253
00:10:20,083 --> 00:10:22,125
I want to know the answer
to so many things.
254
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:25,125
If I had to pick one
that I wanted the answer to
255
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:28,792
like right now, it would be:
what's inside the mesa?
256
00:10:28,875 --> 00:10:31,125
We're just gonna
have to see what we've got.
257
00:10:41,833 --> 00:10:43,458
-THOMAS: Hey, guys.
-TRAVIS: What's going on, guys?
258
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:44,333
So, what you got here?
259
00:10:44,417 --> 00:10:45,625
THOMAS:
I'm really interested
260
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:47,292
in what you found, Jan.
261
00:10:47,375 --> 00:10:49,417
-Absolutely.
-Yeah, I can't wait.
262
00:10:49,542 --> 00:10:52,708
TRAVIS:
The day after we ran
ground-penetrating radar scans
263
00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:54,333
over the spot on the mesa
264
00:10:54,417 --> 00:10:57,375
where we discovered the massive
dome-shaped metal object
265
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:01,458
last year and also up on top
of the ridge of the mesa,
266
00:11:01,542 --> 00:11:04,250
Pete Kelsey and Jan Francke
joined us to present
267
00:11:04,375 --> 00:11:06,917
the processed data
of what they had found.
268
00:11:07,042 --> 00:11:10,542
We'll start off with the, uh,
small lightweight one.
269
00:11:11,875 --> 00:11:15,625
-This is the...
This is my walking path?
-This is your path, yes.
270
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,500
Now, do you recall
271
00:11:17,625 --> 00:11:18,917
when we were out in the field
272
00:11:19,042 --> 00:11:20,500
we were getting
a lot of interference.
273
00:11:20,625 --> 00:11:21,583
Mm-hmm.
274
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:23,167
I've not seen that before.
275
00:11:23,292 --> 00:11:26,042
The data is almost unusable.
276
00:11:26,167 --> 00:11:29,958
There's just a huge amount
of interference in this area.
277
00:11:31,083 --> 00:11:33,458
Right, interference from...?
278
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:37,833
-What?
-Yes. What?
279
00:11:37,917 --> 00:11:39,917
TRAVIS:
Usually good GPR data
280
00:11:40,042 --> 00:11:42,042
looks like a slightly
textured surface
281
00:11:42,167 --> 00:11:43,917
that might show subtle waves
282
00:11:44,042 --> 00:11:46,083
that represent natural
ground features.
283
00:11:46,208 --> 00:11:49,792
So any stark changes
or bizarre shapes that stand out
284
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:53,292
could be things that aren't
natural like voids or objects.
285
00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:56,167
But most of the GPR data
that Thomas got
286
00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:58,917
over the drill site
was a checkered mess
287
00:11:59,042 --> 00:12:02,250
of strange shapes
that didn't make any sense.
288
00:12:02,375 --> 00:12:06,125
Which Jan believed were caused
by the mysterious interference
289
00:12:06,208 --> 00:12:10,125
that his device detected
even before we ran his scans.
290
00:12:10,208 --> 00:12:13,042
So we were all at a loss
as to what the interference
291
00:12:13,208 --> 00:12:14,542
could have been caused by.
292
00:12:15,208 --> 00:12:17,750
Could this signal be
coming from the ground?
293
00:12:17,875 --> 00:12:19,083
It could be coming
from anywhere.
294
00:12:19,208 --> 00:12:20,542
We don't know, right?
295
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:24,500
It is something that's strong
enough to overwhelm the radar.
296
00:12:24,625 --> 00:12:28,458
ERIK:
What exactly is responsible
for this interference?
297
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:29,750
I can't help but wonder
298
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:32,708
is there something actually
within the mesa generating
299
00:12:32,833 --> 00:12:34,833
radio frequency signals
300
00:12:34,917 --> 00:12:37,833
that could be
causing interference?
301
00:12:37,917 --> 00:12:39,000
THOMAS:
What would be the cause
302
00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:40,125
of this kind of interference?
303
00:12:40,208 --> 00:12:42,167
Do you think it's
an environmental thing?
304
00:12:42,292 --> 00:12:45,792
Well, the weird part
is it works now.
305
00:12:45,917 --> 00:12:47,333
When I take it away
from the ranch.
306
00:12:47,417 --> 00:12:48,583
That's what
I was going to ask you.
307
00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:49,625
JAN: I know you were
going to ask that.
308
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:51,667
I wanted to know if
we could do a control.
309
00:12:51,792 --> 00:12:53,000
-And it sounds like you've
already done it.
-I can't...
310
00:12:53,125 --> 00:12:55,625
I can't replicate it.
311
00:12:56,667 --> 00:12:58,083
ERIK:
That is such a...
312
00:12:58,208 --> 00:12:59,333
That is such
an interesting observation.
313
00:12:59,458 --> 00:13:03,208
We can actually recover
a little bit of the data,
314
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:04,750
literally like ten percent
of it, okay?
315
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,833
-Ten percent of
this data is usable.
-And that's what we're seeing.
316
00:13:07,958 --> 00:13:12,000
TRAVIS:
We've detected a number
of weird frequencies and signals
317
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:13,542
during our experiments
on the ranch,
318
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:15,792
but never like the one
that interfered
319
00:13:15,917 --> 00:13:17,500
with Jan's GPR machines.
320
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:19,500
And hearing that he was
only able to recover
321
00:13:19,625 --> 00:13:23,375
ten percent of what was recorded
on the mesa made us
322
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:26,208
all pretty nervous that we
wouldn't get any new information
323
00:13:26,333 --> 00:13:29,708
about just what may
be buried inside there.
324
00:13:29,833 --> 00:13:32,750
JAN:
What we can make out
of that remaining ten percent
325
00:13:32,875 --> 00:13:34,375
I'm trying to see
if there are any
326
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,292
hyperbolic shapes, or things
that look like horseshoes.
327
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:39,917
That would indicate
that that could be a void
328
00:13:40,042 --> 00:13:41,458
or something discrete
in the ground.
329
00:13:41,583 --> 00:13:43,167
TRAVIS:
And where do you see
something like that?
330
00:13:43,292 --> 00:13:45,917
Well, well, there's subtle hints
331
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:48,750
of things that pop out
like here.
332
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,625
There's another one here.
333
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:56,875
There's quite a few of them
that are just scattered around.
334
00:13:58,167 --> 00:13:59,458
So, what that tells us,
335
00:13:59,583 --> 00:14:02,333
uh, there's a series
of discrete anomalies.
336
00:14:02,417 --> 00:14:05,833
These are something that's
different than rock, right?
337
00:14:05,917 --> 00:14:10,042
TRAVIS:
I was amazed that the GPR data
over the area
338
00:14:10,208 --> 00:14:12,500
where we've encountered
the dome-shaped object
339
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:16,208
showed numerous, and distinct
other objects or voids
340
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:17,833
that might not be natural.
341
00:14:17,917 --> 00:14:20,625
Now, I'm nowhere near ready
to buy into the rumors
342
00:14:20,708 --> 00:14:23,292
that an alien base
is buried in the mesa,
343
00:14:23,375 --> 00:14:25,833
but could there be a bunch
of metal objects,
344
00:14:25,958 --> 00:14:27,500
or tunnels of some kind
in there?
345
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:31,375
If so, what could they be?
And who put them there?
346
00:14:32,542 --> 00:14:35,167
-I know you did another survey.
-We did quite a few.
347
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:37,333
-That's actually
got some data, right?
-Absolutely.
348
00:14:37,458 --> 00:14:39,333
-BRYANT: I would
love to see that.
-JAN: Right.
349
00:14:39,458 --> 00:14:41,250
Okay, let me switch to that.
350
00:14:42,208 --> 00:14:44,167
In addition to the stuff
that I did
351
00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:47,125
at the toe of the mesa,
we climbed up to the top,
352
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:49,333
and what I used is an even
deeper penetrating radar,
353
00:14:49,417 --> 00:14:50,667
so this is a lower frequency
354
00:14:50,792 --> 00:14:53,292
and this is actually the deepest
penetrating GPR in the world.
355
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:54,292
Wow.
356
00:14:54,375 --> 00:14:56,375
-JAN: It's a very
sensitive radar.
-Okay.
357
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,167
So, when we look at
the cross-section there,
358
00:14:58,250 --> 00:14:59,667
you can see where I am
on the, uh,
359
00:14:59,792 --> 00:15:01,333
on the map at the top
of the screen there
360
00:15:01,417 --> 00:15:02,583
and you can see
where the cursor is.
361
00:15:02,708 --> 00:15:06,333
Okay? So, as we're scrolling
along, everything's fine
362
00:15:06,458 --> 00:15:08,833
and, uh, it keeps going
fine until we get to...
363
00:15:08,917 --> 00:15:10,500
PETE:
Ooh.
364
00:15:12,042 --> 00:15:13,000
Hello.
365
00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:15,708
-Look at that.
-JAN: Look at that.
366
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,333
This is highly anomalous.
367
00:15:19,458 --> 00:15:23,208
And this is a good six,
seven meters across.
368
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:26,917
It starts at about six, seven
meters from the surface
369
00:15:27,042 --> 00:15:29,042
where I was and it extends down
370
00:15:29,167 --> 00:15:33,208
to about 40 meters which I guess
about the height of the mesa.
371
00:15:34,458 --> 00:15:36,333
-Approximately, right?
-To the base?
372
00:15:36,417 --> 00:15:38,333
JAN:
To the base.
373
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,125
The height of the mesa.
374
00:15:40,208 --> 00:15:42,250
-JAN: Right, so...
-Whatever this is,
is as tall as the mesa.
375
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:43,542
JAN:
Right.
376
00:15:44,625 --> 00:15:47,958
ERIK: What in the hell
are we looking at here?
377
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:51,042
This is six or seven
meters across
378
00:15:51,208 --> 00:15:52,833
and the depth...
379
00:15:52,917 --> 00:15:53,708
From the surface, I mean,
380
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:55,208
there is a bit
of surface expression
381
00:15:55,375 --> 00:15:58,250
but it's about five, six meters.
382
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:00,875
And we know
that it's about 120 feet deep,
383
00:16:01,042 --> 00:16:05,125
-maybe 20 feet wide, and at
least 12 feet north and south.
-At least.
384
00:16:05,208 --> 00:16:07,458
All right?
So it could be bigger.
385
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:10,833
So, I can't tell you
what that is,
386
00:16:10,958 --> 00:16:12,417
but it is highly anomalous.
387
00:16:14,250 --> 00:16:15,167
What's also interesting is,
388
00:16:15,292 --> 00:16:18,792
you know, we did
300 meters of line,
389
00:16:18,875 --> 00:16:20,792
-we don't see anything else
like that. No.
-You don't see it anywhere else?
390
00:16:20,917 --> 00:16:24,833
So it's coincidental
where your drill site is.
391
00:16:26,667 --> 00:16:28,708
TRAVIS:
What in this world could Jan
392
00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:31,375
have detected
with his GPR device?
393
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:34,167
It was right next
to where we previously detected
394
00:16:34,250 --> 00:16:36,000
the dome-shaped metal object
395
00:16:36,125 --> 00:16:38,667
and it was at least 20 feet wide
396
00:16:38,792 --> 00:16:40,583
by 120 feet tall.
397
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:42,875
Are they connected
or related in some way?
398
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,958
We have to figure out
how to get inside
399
00:16:45,083 --> 00:16:46,375
the mesa to know for sure.
400
00:16:46,542 --> 00:16:49,667
I'll tell you right now
we know exactly
401
00:16:49,792 --> 00:16:52,625
-which boulders we need
to be moving out of the way.
-JAN: Yep.
402
00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:54,833
We've got a map right now
of where there is an anomaly
403
00:16:54,958 --> 00:16:58,333
and it's only
tens of feet into the mesa.
404
00:16:58,458 --> 00:17:00,625
We should be digging,
drilling, moving rocks
405
00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:02,833
right there
to find out what that is.
406
00:17:02,917 --> 00:17:04,917
ERIK:
We did horizontal drilling
last summer
407
00:17:05,042 --> 00:17:06,458
into the mesa.
408
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:10,750
Collecting strange
material fragments.
409
00:17:10,875 --> 00:17:12,208
Check this out.
410
00:17:12,333 --> 00:17:15,042
ERIK:
Curious flakes of metal
411
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:16,708
from within the mesa itself.
412
00:17:16,875 --> 00:17:20,042
These are materials
of unknown origin.
413
00:17:20,167 --> 00:17:22,417
Wow, look at all the metal.
414
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:24,792
ERIK:
It's my ambition,
and all of our ambition,
415
00:17:24,875 --> 00:17:27,458
to determine what
this material really is,
416
00:17:27,542 --> 00:17:28,958
what it's doing there.
417
00:17:29,042 --> 00:17:31,958
BRYANT:
There's no telling how much
of this metallic crap
418
00:17:32,083 --> 00:17:33,625
there is still in that hillside.
419
00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:35,583
ERIK:
We have to continue searching
420
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:37,375
into the depths of the mesa.
421
00:17:37,542 --> 00:17:41,958
We know we've got a lot
of iron-bearing material
422
00:17:42,083 --> 00:17:43,500
coming out of there with those
other elements,
423
00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:44,958
tellurium, europium...
424
00:17:45,042 --> 00:17:48,625
That seems artificially
manufactured,
425
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:50,167
-not a natural process
creating it.
-Yeah. Yeah.
426
00:17:50,292 --> 00:17:52,167
It's even been described
as something
427
00:17:52,292 --> 00:17:53,958
-having been made in a furnace.
-Yeah.
428
00:17:54,042 --> 00:17:55,750
ERIK:
It's not natural.
429
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:58,417
THOMAS:
I could line up a crane
company to come out
430
00:17:58,542 --> 00:18:01,458
and start moving
those boulders off.
431
00:18:01,542 --> 00:18:03,000
Uh, gonna have a little bit
of site prep
432
00:18:03,125 --> 00:18:05,375
that needs to happen to
get the crane back there.
433
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,375
But I really think
it would be beneficial
434
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:08,792
to-to pull those boulders off
435
00:18:08,875 --> 00:18:10,625
and then let's bring
in a drilling rig
436
00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:13,500
and let's try to pierce
the mesa a little bit higher.
437
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:16,083
I mean, if we do that,
maybe that gets us up
438
00:18:16,208 --> 00:18:18,500
above that hard metal
disk that's underneath.
439
00:18:18,625 --> 00:18:21,167
I'm... I'm all for it.
440
00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:23,125
-Yes.
-And, uh, so I mean,
441
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:24,292
we got our work cut out for us
442
00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:27,125
and we've got some spots
that we didn't have before.
443
00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:28,875
And, Jan, I really appreciate
the work that you've done.
444
00:18:29,042 --> 00:18:30,958
-My pleasure.
-It's absolutely amazing.
445
00:18:31,083 --> 00:18:34,208
I want to get out there
and start throwing rocks.
446
00:18:34,333 --> 00:18:37,292
TRAVIS:
Let's go get a shovel
and pick and start.
447
00:18:52,208 --> 00:18:53,417
BRYANT:
Hey, Jake.
448
00:18:53,542 --> 00:18:54,667
-How are you?
-Good to see you.
449
00:18:54,792 --> 00:18:56,167
-Good to see you.
Hey, how you doing?
-Hey, man.
450
00:18:56,292 --> 00:18:58,792
TRAVIS: A couple of days
after Jan Francke presented us
451
00:18:58,917 --> 00:19:02,958
with the GPR data showing
numerous anomalies in the mesa
452
00:19:03,083 --> 00:19:05,125
near the dome-shaped
metal object
453
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:06,333
we discovered last year...
454
00:19:06,458 --> 00:19:08,000
Getting ready to move some dirt.
455
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:09,292
TRAVIS: ...Thomas Winterton
brought local contractor
456
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:13,583
Jake Huffman back out to the
ranch to help prep the area
457
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:16,542
for a major excavation
so we can find out
458
00:19:16,708 --> 00:19:18,500
what could be buried in there.
459
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:21,833
THOMAS: So, uh, Jake and I
can bring this crane in.
460
00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:24,500
Obviously, we've got to get it
across the canal,
461
00:19:24,625 --> 00:19:26,333
so we're just going to put
a temporary
462
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:28,250
little culvert in there.
463
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,625
Then we can get the crane across
464
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:31,458
and start moving some rocks.
465
00:19:31,542 --> 00:19:33,625
The crane needs
30 feet to be able
466
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:35,167
to spread its outriggers out
and we need
467
00:19:35,292 --> 00:19:37,458
to get him as close to
those rocks as possible.
468
00:19:37,542 --> 00:19:40,125
Because we're estimating
some of these rocks
469
00:19:40,208 --> 00:19:41,958
are going to weigh
as much as 50,000 pounds.
470
00:19:42,042 --> 00:19:43,042
TRAVIS:
Oh, I believe it, yeah.
471
00:19:43,167 --> 00:19:45,958
So, we're going to build
a 30-foot by 30-foot pad
472
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:48,583
back in there so we can get him
right up next to those rocks.
473
00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:49,583
TRAVIS:
Sounds good.
474
00:19:49,708 --> 00:19:54,333
In order to get
the giant, 175-ton crane
475
00:19:54,458 --> 00:19:57,458
over to where we need
to lift boulders off the mesa,
476
00:19:57,542 --> 00:19:59,833
it's going to be
a massive project.
477
00:19:59,917 --> 00:20:03,875
First, Tom and Jake will have
to move tons of earth
478
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
to form a bridge over the canal
between the road and the mesa.
479
00:20:08,083 --> 00:20:11,500
Then, they have to clear
and level off a good-sized pad,
480
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:13,917
where they can park
the crane close enough
481
00:20:14,042 --> 00:20:16,583
to remove many
of the huge boulders.
482
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:18,542
THOMAS:
I think it's going
to take us a couple days
483
00:20:18,708 --> 00:20:20,042
to get the pad ready.
484
00:20:20,167 --> 00:20:22,167
So I think we start
slinging some dirt.
485
00:20:22,292 --> 00:20:22,917
Sounds good to me.
486
00:20:23,042 --> 00:20:25,667
Okay, we'll get out of your way.
487
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,375
THOMAS:
Watch yourself.
488
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,833
ERIK:
In preparation
489
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,833
for our surgical
examination of the mesa,
490
00:20:31,958 --> 00:20:33,625
there's a lot of work
that needs to be done.
491
00:20:33,708 --> 00:20:36,667
Thomas is having to
put a culvert in place.
492
00:20:38,083 --> 00:20:42,208
-THOMAS: How does that look?
-JAKE: Good to me.
493
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:47,125
BRYANT:
What we're doing here
with these excavators
494
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:49,458
and this massive crane
495
00:20:49,542 --> 00:20:51,167
is by far the largest scale
496
00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:53,083
that we've ever done
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
497
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:55,958
ERIK:
I'll try to get across.
498
00:20:56,083 --> 00:20:57,917
BRYANT:
This is a lot of work,
it involves a lot of digging,
499
00:20:58,042 --> 00:20:59,333
but we need to get after it
500
00:20:59,417 --> 00:21:02,667
and I'm anxious to find out
what's inside that mesa.
501
00:21:02,792 --> 00:21:05,875
It'll hopefully help us
with some answers
502
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,958
as to what truly is going on,
on Skinwalker Ranch.
503
00:21:16,958 --> 00:21:19,167
BURDETTE: I'm going to
take the color camera
504
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:22,625
and we're going to put it
right up here.
505
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:24,833
TRAVIS: I think just pull in
right in here.
506
00:21:24,958 --> 00:21:26,792
Yeah, that'll be good, yeah.
507
00:21:26,917 --> 00:21:29,542
Since it was going to take
several days to complete
508
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:30,875
the prep work at the mesa...
509
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,125
Hey, Burdette. Everything okay?
510
00:21:33,208 --> 00:21:35,500
Yeah, so, who wants
to operate the camera
511
00:21:35,625 --> 00:21:36,708
-while I tell them
what to do back there?
-I can do it.
512
00:21:36,833 --> 00:21:37,625
You want to do it?
513
00:21:37,708 --> 00:21:38,625
TRAVIS: ...later that evening,
514
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,917
we welcomed Burdette Anderson
515
00:21:41,042 --> 00:21:43,333
from a company
called Photron Cameras
516
00:21:43,417 --> 00:21:45,333
to help us with a new
experiment at the triangle.
517
00:21:45,458 --> 00:21:47,083
Just hit the green button.
518
00:21:47,208 --> 00:21:49,833
TRAVIS: He specializes in
a high-speed camera system
519
00:21:49,917 --> 00:21:52,417
that can shoot
thousands of frames per second.
520
00:21:52,542 --> 00:21:54,125
Everything's talking correctly.
521
00:21:54,208 --> 00:21:56,833
Our eyes basically detect
somewhere between
522
00:21:56,958 --> 00:21:59,000
24 and 30 frames per second.
523
00:21:59,125 --> 00:22:00,917
The advantage of using
a high-speed camera out here
524
00:22:01,042 --> 00:22:03,167
is if you have things
that are moving
525
00:22:03,292 --> 00:22:04,708
that you're just
not quite catching,
526
00:22:04,833 --> 00:22:06,083
if you're ready for it,
527
00:22:06,208 --> 00:22:07,833
you can get
a very good look at it.
528
00:22:07,958 --> 00:22:09,500
My camera will shoot at 100,000
529
00:22:09,625 --> 00:22:11,167
or a million frames per second.
530
00:22:11,292 --> 00:22:12,792
Let's load a rocket.
531
00:22:12,917 --> 00:22:14,625
-Red one first?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
532
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,708
Our plan was to launch rockets
up through the triangle
533
00:22:17,875 --> 00:22:21,458
where we've seen numerous UAPs
and detected what we believe
534
00:22:21,542 --> 00:22:25,375
to be some kind of anomaly
between 300 and 5,000 feet.
535
00:22:25,542 --> 00:22:26,917
-Okay, it's on?
-Yeah.
536
00:22:27,042 --> 00:22:29,583
TRAVIS: While Burdette
photographed each launch
537
00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:31,375
at a thousand frames per second,
538
00:22:31,542 --> 00:22:34,000
with both color
and infrared cameras.
539
00:22:34,083 --> 00:22:35,917
Whoa, whoa, wait,
what's this right here?
540
00:22:36,042 --> 00:22:37,000
What's this? What's this?
541
00:22:37,083 --> 00:22:38,875
TRAVIS: We got something!
We got something!
542
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,042
When we've seen UAPs
here in the past...
543
00:22:41,167 --> 00:22:43,667
A UAP appeared and vanished.
544
00:22:43,792 --> 00:22:45,625
...we've gotten
quick glimpses of them.
545
00:22:45,708 --> 00:22:48,083
-Hey, look, UAP right there!
-Yep.
546
00:22:48,208 --> 00:22:50,833
TRAVIS: But then they tend
to just disappear
547
00:22:50,958 --> 00:22:52,000
before we can really see
what they are.
548
00:22:52,083 --> 00:22:54,208
-Are they always that bright?
-And it's gone.
549
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:59,250
Here we go.
Let's go straight up.
550
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:00,292
Tell me when you're good.
551
00:23:00,375 --> 00:23:02,333
That's fine.
552
00:23:02,417 --> 00:23:05,167
So we're hoping
that Burdette's cameras
553
00:23:05,333 --> 00:23:06,917
will help us get a much better
look at anything
554
00:23:07,042 --> 00:23:09,000
that might appear in the sky
555
00:23:09,125 --> 00:23:11,125
during our rocket launches
tonight.
556
00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:12,625
I hope that works. All right.
557
00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:14,458
I learned
about the investigations
558
00:23:14,542 --> 00:23:16,875
at Skinwalker Ranch
through, uh, Travis
559
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,292
and some of the things
they hadn't done yet
560
00:23:18,375 --> 00:23:20,167
is tried to catch things
in high-speed,
561
00:23:20,292 --> 00:23:22,292
because there's
so many fast-moving things
562
00:23:22,375 --> 00:23:23,667
that happen here
that you don't get
563
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:24,708
to grasp with your eye.
564
00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:26,292
And that's kind of
where our Photron cameras
565
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:27,292
come into play.
566
00:23:27,417 --> 00:23:28,625
We got it.
567
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:29,625
BURDETTE:
They slow down reality.
568
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:31,583
So anything you
can't see with your eye,
569
00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:32,833
we can catch with the cameras.
570
00:23:32,958 --> 00:23:35,625
And anything you just
kind of saw with your eye,
571
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:37,958
we can slow it down so you can
get a very good look at it.
572
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:40,667
TRAVIS:
The rocket, it's ready to go.
573
00:23:40,792 --> 00:23:42,667
-All right, um...
-Are you good?
574
00:23:42,833 --> 00:23:43,750
Yeah, it's on.
575
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:46,500
-We're good, yep.
-Hey, Erik, do you copy?
576
00:23:50,375 --> 00:23:52,042
All right, copy you.
577
00:23:52,167 --> 00:23:54,042
TRAVIS:
Erik was stationed
in the command center
578
00:23:54,167 --> 00:23:56,167
during the experiment,
so he could monitor
579
00:23:56,292 --> 00:23:59,292
for any strange energy spikes
out at the triangle
580
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:02,458
and keep a close eye on
the ranch surveillance cameras
581
00:24:02,583 --> 00:24:03,333
pointed in this direction.
582
00:24:03,417 --> 00:24:06,500
All right, here we go,
here we go.
583
00:24:06,583 --> 00:24:09,000
-Okay. We're hot.
-All right, everybody ready?
584
00:24:09,167 --> 00:24:10,333
Is everybody ready?
585
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:13,583
Erik, be advised the rocket's
hot. We're going hot now.
586
00:24:13,708 --> 00:24:15,958
Copy you, Travis.
587
00:24:16,042 --> 00:24:18,375
All right, here we go.
In three...
588
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:20,000
two, one...
589
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,292
Hey, did you see that?
590
00:24:25,375 --> 00:24:29,500
It turned before it could get
to wherever the anomaly is.
591
00:24:29,667 --> 00:24:32,333
-How many times have
we seen that happen?
-Yeah.
592
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,250
It's going to land
right here behind us.
593
00:24:34,375 --> 00:24:37,000
Right after the first
rocket launched,
594
00:24:37,083 --> 00:24:39,875
I noticed that in midair,
it suddenly veered
595
00:24:40,042 --> 00:24:42,167
a little off course
like it ran into something
596
00:24:42,292 --> 00:24:44,375
invisible that deflected it.
597
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,000
Now, we've also seen
that happen numerous times
598
00:24:47,167 --> 00:24:49,833
with other rockets
and GPS devices at the triangle,
599
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,833
so I was really eager
to immediately launch
600
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:54,917
another rocket to see
what would happen next.
601
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:57,667
Isn't that crazy?
602
00:24:57,833 --> 00:25:01,292
Gosh, if it ain't
one thing, it's another.
603
00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:03,542
TRAVIS:
Hey, Kaleb, why don't you
pull the Jeep around
604
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:06,458
-and shine a light over here.
-KALEB: Yep.
605
00:25:06,583 --> 00:25:09,458
♪ ♪
606
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,708
Let me download
this image real quick
607
00:25:14,875 --> 00:25:17,000
and then we can
look at it again later.
608
00:25:17,083 --> 00:25:19,250
Won't take long because
there's not much in there.
609
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:21,750
Okay, we're as good
as we're gonna get.
610
00:25:21,875 --> 00:25:23,792
Hey, Erik, you copy?
611
00:25:23,917 --> 00:25:25,333
Yeah. Go ahead, Travis.
612
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:29,458
-We good?
-Yes, sir.
613
00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:31,833
TRAVIS:
All right.
614
00:25:31,958 --> 00:25:34,792
Five, four,
615
00:25:34,917 --> 00:25:38,333
three, two, one.
616
00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:41,583
THOMAS:
That is cool.
617
00:25:41,708 --> 00:25:43,292
TRAVIS:
Oh, that one was awesome.
618
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:44,250
Boy, that went up pretty high.
619
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:46,833
That one may end up
in the east field.
620
00:25:46,917 --> 00:25:50,042
KALEB:
Hey, we got a light that's
right there that's moving.
621
00:25:50,167 --> 00:25:52,083
-Where, where?
-Right there, right above us.
622
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:54,792
-What? Really?
-Right there.
623
00:25:54,917 --> 00:25:56,042
Where?
624
00:25:56,167 --> 00:25:59,250
TRAVIS: Yeah! We got it!
There it is, right there.
625
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:00,958
Nah, this one's
moving pretty fast.
626
00:26:01,083 --> 00:26:02,333
What is that?
627
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:04,375
KALEB:
That's not a plane.
628
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:13,667
KALEB: That's not a plane.
629
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:16,875
Erik. We've got an orange light
across the river
630
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,792
on the, uh, southwest side.
631
00:26:19,875 --> 00:26:22,417
Moving pretty fast
about treetop high.
632
00:26:22,542 --> 00:26:25,583
Look at that,
it's still plenty bright.
633
00:26:25,708 --> 00:26:27,000
TRAVIS: Dang.
634
00:26:29,208 --> 00:26:31,667
Yes, I do, Travis.
I will take a look.
635
00:26:40,083 --> 00:26:41,667
TRAVIS:
I don't know where it came from,
636
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:44,500
but just after
we launched our second rocket
637
00:26:44,625 --> 00:26:45,667
at the triangle area,
638
00:26:45,792 --> 00:26:47,958
probably the most prominent UAP
639
00:26:48,083 --> 00:26:50,833
I've ever seen
appeared over Skinwalker Ranch.
640
00:26:50,958 --> 00:26:54,625
Erik, we got something moving
right overhead of us right now.
641
00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:58,917
It's moving slightly
northeast, it's orange.
642
00:26:59,042 --> 00:27:01,333
And it doesn't look
like a satellite.
643
00:27:01,417 --> 00:27:02,875
Do you see it in the cameras?
644
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,333
I'm going to try to track it.
645
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:08,667
TRAVIS:
You see it?
646
00:27:08,792 --> 00:27:11,250
Hey, come, hey,
it looks like it's sped up.
647
00:27:11,375 --> 00:27:13,333
Does it look like
it just sped up to y'all?
648
00:27:14,792 --> 00:27:17,792
TRAVIS: It just sped up.
649
00:27:17,875 --> 00:27:19,792
Erik, it's almost
right over you now
650
00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:21,833
and it's moving really fast.
651
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:24,458
All right.
652
00:27:26,708 --> 00:27:28,333
I'm not seeing it.
653
00:27:29,875 --> 00:27:31,542
Travis, I don't have it.
654
00:27:31,667 --> 00:27:35,583
Ask Erik if he's got anything
on the ADS-B.
655
00:27:35,708 --> 00:27:37,958
Erik, is there anything
on the ADS-B?
656
00:27:38,042 --> 00:27:41,208
It would be going
east-northeast right now
657
00:27:41,333 --> 00:27:42,625
directly over the ranch.
658
00:27:45,792 --> 00:27:48,250
TRAVIS:
I've never seen an aircraft
maneuver like this thing,
659
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,292
but Thomas was right
to have Erik check his
660
00:27:50,375 --> 00:27:53,375
Automatic Dependent Surveillance
Broadcasting tracker.
661
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,833
It monitors the signals
that airplanes and jets
662
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:58,083
are required by law to emit.
663
00:28:00,125 --> 00:28:02,625
I've got eyes on the ADS-B map.
664
00:28:02,750 --> 00:28:06,708
ERIK:
You know, I get aircraft
as far out as 130 miles.
665
00:28:06,833 --> 00:28:10,083
There's nothing over us,
there's nothing near us.
666
00:28:10,208 --> 00:28:12,042
It was clearly going due north
667
00:28:12,167 --> 00:28:14,208
and then it dog-legged
and it sped up.
668
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:17,375
-Yeah, it came across
and then it like turned.
-Yeah.
669
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:20,417
It's still going, look at it.
670
00:28:20,542 --> 00:28:22,000
THOMAS:
So, if that was a satellite,
671
00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:23,333
you'd expect it
to start fading out.
672
00:28:23,417 --> 00:28:25,417
TRAVIS:
By now, it'd be fading out.
673
00:28:25,542 --> 00:28:27,417
THOMAS:
That's no satellite.
674
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:31,458
TRAVIS: Did it just...?
It just vanished.
675
00:28:31,583 --> 00:28:34,875
That thing stayed bright
and just went away.
676
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,042
Well, I don't see it anymore.
677
00:28:36,167 --> 00:28:37,333
THOMAS: Well, I think we
got to get that rocket up
678
00:28:37,458 --> 00:28:38,500
and see if we can make it...
679
00:28:38,625 --> 00:28:40,958
-TRAVIS: Yep, I hear you.
-THOMAS: Replicate it.
680
00:28:41,042 --> 00:28:42,167
That was not a satellite.
681
00:28:42,250 --> 00:28:43,417
So what was that?
682
00:28:43,542 --> 00:28:45,167
Right here over the ranch.
683
00:28:47,417 --> 00:28:49,000
Yeah, go ahead, Thomas.
684
00:28:49,083 --> 00:28:52,000
-We're good? Okay.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
685
00:28:52,083 --> 00:28:53,708
One more sparky rocket.
686
00:28:53,875 --> 00:28:55,750
Okay, perfect.
687
00:28:55,875 --> 00:28:58,500
We couldn't wait to see
if launching another rocket
688
00:28:58,625 --> 00:29:00,333
would evoke the UAP to reappear
689
00:29:00,458 --> 00:29:03,583
or stimulate another one
or who knows what else.
690
00:29:05,375 --> 00:29:09,375
And also, I hoped that Burdette
was getting great pictures
691
00:29:09,542 --> 00:29:11,542
that would help us
figure out what it was.
692
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:13,042
Hook the wires up.
693
00:29:13,208 --> 00:29:15,583
Uh, make sure it's off, hang on.
694
00:29:16,542 --> 00:29:18,125
-Are we good here?
-Yeah, yeah, we're good.
695
00:29:18,208 --> 00:29:19,667
-Lights on?
-Lights on.
696
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:21,208
Hey, Erik, be advised:
697
00:29:24,125 --> 00:29:26,333
...in about 15 seconds.
Are you ready?
698
00:29:26,458 --> 00:29:27,833
I am ready. Go ahead.
699
00:29:27,958 --> 00:29:28,917
Are you ready, Burdette?
700
00:29:29,042 --> 00:29:30,833
-BURDETTE: Yes, sir.
-KALEB: Yeah, we're good to go.
701
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,667
All right. Going in five,
702
00:29:33,833 --> 00:29:35,875
four, three,
703
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,667
two, one.
704
00:29:40,167 --> 00:29:41,333
Oh, we got a malfunction.
705
00:29:41,458 --> 00:29:43,292
Everybody watch out.
706
00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:49,667
Oh. Oh. Oh, it's on fire.
707
00:29:49,792 --> 00:29:53,000
TRAVIS: We got a fire.
We got a fire.
708
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:55,042
Oh, dang.
709
00:29:55,167 --> 00:29:56,167
TRAVIS:
We shoot the rocket up
710
00:29:56,292 --> 00:29:58,500
and we-we're ready
to launch this thing.
711
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,083
And as the launch starts,
it looks like
712
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:01,750
a perfect launch
from the beginning,
713
00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:03,375
and what we see is that
714
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:05,333
the rocket takes off,
715
00:30:05,417 --> 00:30:07,292
clears the tower,
gets to somewhere
716
00:30:07,375 --> 00:30:09,667
I'm estimating
between 30 and 50 feet,
717
00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:12,833
and then suddenly there's
a big flash of light
718
00:30:12,958 --> 00:30:15,750
and, uh, what sounded
like a pop,
719
00:30:15,875 --> 00:30:17,292
maybe even an explosion.
720
00:30:17,375 --> 00:30:21,958
-It-It's burned out.
-The motor burned out.
721
00:30:22,083 --> 00:30:26,250
-Holy crap.
I've yet to see that.
-Yeah.
722
00:30:26,375 --> 00:30:27,458
-What the heck?
-What would cause that?
723
00:30:27,542 --> 00:30:28,875
What would cause that?
724
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,667
The motor blew up.
725
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:33,958
It-it deflagrated
inside the rocket.
726
00:30:34,042 --> 00:30:36,708
-Wow.
-Hey, Erik, you copy?
727
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:44,375
-Well...
-It was worse than that.
728
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:46,583
At about 30 feet
off the launch pad...
729
00:30:54,375 --> 00:30:56,250
And started a fire.
730
00:30:56,375 --> 00:30:58,292
Well, let's go look
at the high-speed
731
00:30:58,417 --> 00:31:01,333
because it should be
right in that view.
732
00:31:01,417 --> 00:31:03,375
TRAVIS:
We recovered it.
733
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,417
-Holy crap.
-Right? What a night.
734
00:31:05,542 --> 00:31:06,667
What... What...
735
00:31:06,792 --> 00:31:10,750
That motor blew up.
It literally... it exploded.
736
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:13,000
I've never seen, uh,
I've seen experimental
737
00:31:13,083 --> 00:31:15,792
motors do that, Kaleb,
but I've never seen
738
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:18,083
a store-bought motor
deflagrate like that.
739
00:31:18,208 --> 00:31:20,083
-Right there.
-Got it.
740
00:31:20,208 --> 00:31:21,292
-Hey, Travis.
-Yeah?
741
00:31:21,417 --> 00:31:24,042
We caught the malfunction
on the high-speed.
742
00:31:24,167 --> 00:31:26,000
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
743
00:31:28,542 --> 00:31:31,917
Hey, check this out.
There's something on the camera.
744
00:31:34,625 --> 00:31:37,333
BURDETTE:
It's something I've never
seen before. Check this out.
745
00:31:37,458 --> 00:31:38,250
So, as it's going,
look what you've got...
746
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:40,167
TRAVIS:
There's something in the sky
747
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:41,708
above the rocket, right here.
748
00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:44,042
KALEB: Yeah, look at that,
look at the light...
749
00:31:47,417 --> 00:31:50,333
-No way.
-Look at that (bleep)!
750
00:31:50,458 --> 00:31:51,625
-That's crazy.
-There is literally something...
751
00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:55,500
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
752
00:31:55,625 --> 00:31:57,875
BURDETTE:
That's crazy.
753
00:31:58,042 --> 00:31:59,625
TRAVIS:
Oh, my God.
754
00:32:05,958 --> 00:32:08,208
TRAVIS:
There is literally something.
755
00:32:08,333 --> 00:32:11,208
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
756
00:32:11,333 --> 00:32:12,792
Yeah, look at that.
Look at the light.
757
00:32:12,875 --> 00:32:13,667
TRAVIS: All right, now
the rocket gets there.
758
00:32:13,792 --> 00:32:14,708
THOMAS: Look how it veers
to the side.
759
00:32:14,833 --> 00:32:15,958
TRAVIS: And then
the rocket blows up
760
00:32:16,042 --> 00:32:18,000
-right when it hits it!
-THOMAS: Oh, my God!
761
00:32:18,083 --> 00:32:19,042
(cheering and shouting)
762
00:32:19,167 --> 00:32:20,333
Right on!
763
00:32:20,417 --> 00:32:21,625
Right here. Look at that.
764
00:32:21,708 --> 00:32:22,500
Yeah!
765
00:32:22,625 --> 00:32:23,750
TRAVIS:
Holy crap.
766
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:26,042
All right, Burdette, could
you play it one more time?
767
00:32:26,208 --> 00:32:27,917
I want to make sure I saw
what I think I just saw.
768
00:32:28,042 --> 00:32:30,833
After four years
of investigating
769
00:32:30,917 --> 00:32:32,000
Skinwalker Ranch as a team,
770
00:32:32,125 --> 00:32:36,625
we finally got good visual
evidence of something
771
00:32:36,708 --> 00:32:38,083
incredible at the triangle.
772
00:32:38,208 --> 00:32:40,083
Just as we launched a rocket,
773
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:44,083
Burdette Anderson captured some
kind of blob-like feature
774
00:32:44,208 --> 00:32:46,083
on his high-speed camera
that literally appeared
775
00:32:46,208 --> 00:32:50,125
out of nowhere and caused
the rocket to explode.
776
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:53,458
It was something that none of
us could see with the naked eye.
777
00:32:53,542 --> 00:32:56,250
That cloud remained intact.
The whole thing.
778
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,792
This isn't an anomaly in
the lens because it didn't move.
779
00:32:59,917 --> 00:33:00,958
TRAVIS:
Could this be the phenomenon
780
00:33:01,083 --> 00:33:03,667
that causes the energy spikes
we've detected?
781
00:33:03,833 --> 00:33:06,375
And is it related
to the UAPs we've seen?
782
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,208
All I know is
we may finally be getting
783
00:33:09,333 --> 00:33:10,667
closer to possible answers.
784
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:12,667
Think about all
the rockets that hit
785
00:33:12,833 --> 00:33:15,292
about that same spot
and veered off.
786
00:33:15,417 --> 00:33:18,292
So you can see it right there,
there's something in the sky.
787
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:20,500
-KALEB: It's already
illuminated by the light.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
788
00:33:20,625 --> 00:33:21,833
THOMAS:
There's not a cloud in the sky.
789
00:33:21,917 --> 00:33:24,125
TRAVIS: There's not a cloud
in the sky. So what is it?
790
00:33:24,208 --> 00:33:25,458
THOMAS:
And there's no dust.
791
00:33:25,542 --> 00:33:27,917
And then, look,
it's almost there.
792
00:33:28,042 --> 00:33:30,000
Right there it's like it hits
right on something
793
00:33:30,125 --> 00:33:31,333
or zap or whatever.
794
00:33:31,458 --> 00:33:32,667
-Boom.
-Boom!
795
00:33:32,792 --> 00:33:34,875
-And it is exactly...
-Oh, my God.
796
00:33:35,042 --> 00:33:36,833
-TRAVIS: You can't make it up.
-BURDETTE: Oh, yeah.
797
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:39,167
Usually I can explain
everything I've seen
798
00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:40,542
in a high-speed camera
when I record it.
799
00:33:40,667 --> 00:33:43,000
But when we shot
the third rocket,
800
00:33:43,125 --> 00:33:45,292
as soon as that rocket
started illuminating,
801
00:33:45,375 --> 00:33:47,333
we saw something that wasn't
there in the second shot.
802
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:49,167
I can't explain what it is.
803
00:33:49,292 --> 00:33:52,292
I've never seen anything like
that come off a Photron camera.
804
00:33:52,375 --> 00:33:54,750
-Holy crap.
-Oh, my God.
805
00:33:54,875 --> 00:33:58,750
Well, Travis, that's only 30...
30, 40 feet above us.
806
00:33:58,875 --> 00:34:02,083
Oh, my God. 40 feet high.
807
00:34:04,458 --> 00:34:06,625
What are the odds
of that happening
808
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:09,792
right there with other
rockets in that same spot?
809
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,708
Last year,
we attempted to launch
810
00:34:13,833 --> 00:34:16,542
a 15-foot tall rocket
through the anomaly,
811
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:18,167
-above the triangle.
-Push and hold.
812
00:34:20,375 --> 00:34:22,417
ALLEN:
Uh-oh. That motor blew.
813
00:34:22,542 --> 00:34:25,000
TRAVIS:
And it exploded in
nearly the same spot.
814
00:34:25,167 --> 00:34:27,333
Oh, no. Oh...
815
00:34:27,458 --> 00:34:28,792
TRAVIS:
Shortly after that,
816
00:34:28,875 --> 00:34:32,625
we saw a UAP
appear over the triangle...
817
00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:33,667
Look at that. Look at that.
818
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:36,333
...which then vanished
into thin air.
819
00:34:36,458 --> 00:34:39,333
But what did it disappear into?
820
00:34:39,417 --> 00:34:43,167
BRANDON:
Is it a portal?
Are we seeing portals open?
821
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:44,833
Yeah.
822
00:34:44,958 --> 00:34:47,833
I couldn't possibly know
what this phenomenon was,
823
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,125
but we now have a clear location
to focus our investigation.
824
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Okay, we caught something cool.
825
00:34:55,083 --> 00:34:56,000
(laughter)
826
00:34:56,083 --> 00:34:57,083
(cheering)
827
00:34:57,208 --> 00:34:59,250
(laughter)
828
00:35:00,250 --> 00:35:02,667
TRAVIS:
That's just more validation.
829
00:35:02,792 --> 00:35:04,375
We got to call Erik
and tell him this.
830
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:05,875
Erik, you are not
going to believe
831
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,875
what the high-speed caught,
832
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,708
there is a thing in the sky,
833
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:11,083
the rocket hits it and explodes.
834
00:35:11,208 --> 00:35:16,500
That is unbelievable.
I want to see that footage.
835
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:19,333
My gosh! (laughs)
836
00:35:19,458 --> 00:35:20,708
(helicopter whirring)
837
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:25,417
Helicopter, helicopter!
838
00:35:25,542 --> 00:35:28,000
Helicopter coming right over!
839
00:35:28,875 --> 00:35:30,542
Erik, we got
a helicopter right over
840
00:35:30,708 --> 00:35:33,292
the ranch right now,
are you getting it?
841
00:35:36,208 --> 00:35:38,458
ERIK: I am getting
no helicopter above the ranch
842
00:35:38,542 --> 00:35:40,833
on the ADS-B receiver here.
843
00:35:40,917 --> 00:35:44,042
TRAVIS:
We have a helicopter
right over the triangle.
844
00:35:44,167 --> 00:35:45,708
KALEB:
Hey, it just went dark.
845
00:35:45,875 --> 00:35:47,708
And it just vanished,
846
00:35:47,833 --> 00:35:49,500
but we still hear it.
Ah, now it's there again.
847
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:51,667
-There's its light right there.
-It went behind the anomaly!
848
00:35:51,792 --> 00:35:54,208
THOMAS:
That's a bigger helicopter.
849
00:35:54,375 --> 00:35:55,208
Why? Why right now?
850
00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:56,792
Why right now?
851
00:35:56,875 --> 00:35:58,917
(helicopter whirring)
852
00:36:01,292 --> 00:36:04,000
Erik, it came over us.
853
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:06,125
We lost the lights for a second
854
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:07,792
and then it turned
away from the anomaly
855
00:36:07,875 --> 00:36:10,333
and turned southeast.
856
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:14,208
Well, whoever they were,
they weren't transponding.
857
00:36:15,208 --> 00:36:18,000
A helicopter that size
not transponding?
858
00:36:18,167 --> 00:36:20,458
-Well, did you see...
-TRAVIS: Right after
we did this!
859
00:36:20,583 --> 00:36:22,000
KALEB: The helicopter
looks like it's...
860
00:36:22,125 --> 00:36:23,625
-TRAVIS: The helicopter
is turning around.
-KALEB: ...coming back around.
861
00:36:23,708 --> 00:36:25,292
Helicopter's turning
back around, Erik.
862
00:36:25,375 --> 00:36:27,500
I've got eyes on him.
863
00:36:29,833 --> 00:36:31,417
THOMAS:
Where did that just come out of?
864
00:36:31,542 --> 00:36:33,333
It's coming back...
865
00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:38,458
Erik, that helicopter is coming
back at us. Do you see that?
866
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:40,083
Yeah, I've got him.
867
00:36:41,917 --> 00:36:44,125
All right, now you're mine.
868
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,417
The aircraft
is not transponding...
869
00:36:57,083 --> 00:36:58,875
And it's slowing down.
And it's-it's doing...
870
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,292
It-It's orbiting the ranch.
871
00:37:02,958 --> 00:37:05,292
It's doing surveillance
right now of the ranch.
872
00:37:13,292 --> 00:37:15,542
We have a helicopter
right over the triangle
873
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:18,208
right now right overhead.
874
00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:20,750
It's doing surveillance
right now of the ranch.
875
00:37:20,875 --> 00:37:22,583
(helicopter whirring)
876
00:37:23,833 --> 00:37:24,833
They're definitely watching.
877
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,375
They're definitely over
the ranch looking at us.
878
00:37:28,583 --> 00:37:33,125
THOMAS:
Shortly after this UAP sighting
and after this rocket blows up,
879
00:37:33,208 --> 00:37:36,458
all of a sudden a helicopter
comes flying directly over us.
880
00:37:37,417 --> 00:37:38,708
Look at 'em,
they're turning again.
881
00:37:38,833 --> 00:37:41,375
-TRAVIS: Yeah,
they are clearly...
-They are watching.
882
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:44,042
KALEB:
And then we also had that other
light that we saw, earlier.
883
00:37:44,208 --> 00:37:45,167
Yep.
884
00:37:45,292 --> 00:37:48,083
As that helicopter is
sitting there hovering,
885
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:50,083
my mind is immediately
886
00:37:50,208 --> 00:37:51,750
trying to figure out
who this could be
887
00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:53,667
that's watching us.
888
00:37:53,833 --> 00:37:56,667
Hey, Erik, uh, are you sure
889
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:57,667
that there's nothing
on the ADS-B?
890
00:37:57,792 --> 00:37:59,167
Travis,
891
00:37:59,333 --> 00:38:01,083
this helicopter
is not transponding
892
00:38:01,208 --> 00:38:03,333
as far as I can tell.
893
00:38:03,417 --> 00:38:06,167
Because I'm getting aircraft
100 miles to the south of here.
894
00:38:08,292 --> 00:38:09,375
So, it's not
a connectivity issue.
895
00:38:09,542 --> 00:38:13,292
And he's staying right over us
and orbiting and orbiting.
896
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:16,083
Well, someone's taken
an interest in what we're doing.
897
00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:20,250
There's nothing over us.
There's nothing near us.
898
00:38:20,375 --> 00:38:23,708
And he has not shown up at all.
899
00:38:23,875 --> 00:38:27,833
This is an aircraft that is
deliberately not transponding
900
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,500
while flying over the ranch.
901
00:38:30,583 --> 00:38:32,917
All I know is there's
an aircraft flying after night,
902
00:38:33,042 --> 00:38:34,583
which means they got
night vision.
903
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:37,042
TRAVIS:
There are not any
commercial helicopters
904
00:38:37,208 --> 00:38:39,333
around here with
night vision capability.
905
00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:42,333
The only thing this could be
then is a military helicopter.
906
00:38:42,458 --> 00:38:46,750
What is the military doing
flying over Skinwalker Ranch
907
00:38:46,875 --> 00:38:48,000
while we're doing
this experiment,
908
00:38:48,083 --> 00:38:49,833
and while we find something
909
00:38:49,958 --> 00:38:51,333
that we've never seen before?
910
00:38:53,042 --> 00:38:54,417
I don't like
the feeling of that.
911
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:57,833
TRAVIS:
I don't like that crap either.
912
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,375
Hey, Erik? Uh...
913
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:02,542
Are you, do you have any
of the ranch cameras
914
00:39:02,667 --> 00:39:05,000
on that helicopter?
915
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:09,500
Yeah, I've got multiple
of the ranch cameras on him.
916
00:39:09,583 --> 00:39:12,125
He is sitting still
and hovering, watching us.
917
00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:14,333
ERIK:
That is exactly right.
918
00:39:14,458 --> 00:39:16,000
TRAVIS:
It's really spooking us
919
00:39:16,083 --> 00:39:18,167
and, uh, pissing us off
at the same time.
920
00:39:18,333 --> 00:39:21,292
I'm right there
with you, Travis.
921
00:39:22,458 --> 00:39:25,125
Well, Travis, it's pretty
clear somebody has taken
922
00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:27,500
an interest in what we're doing.
923
00:39:27,583 --> 00:39:29,667
It-it really...
It's a little bit scary.
924
00:39:33,333 --> 00:39:35,375
THOMAS:
They're leaving.
925
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,042
How long did they stay there,
like four or five minutes?
926
00:39:37,167 --> 00:39:39,125
Oh, ten minutes.
927
00:39:40,708 --> 00:39:42,000
THOMAS:
What the heck?
928
00:39:42,167 --> 00:39:46,125
-And now they're headed back
towards, uh... Roosevelt.
-Roosevelt.
929
00:39:46,208 --> 00:39:49,000
They are all but gone now.
930
00:39:49,083 --> 00:39:51,333
TRAVIS: It-it came by
to show us that it knew
931
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:53,042
we were doing something,
I don't know.
932
00:39:53,167 --> 00:39:56,000
It's possible somebody
saw rockets
933
00:39:56,083 --> 00:39:58,500
and they called, you know,
the ATF or something
934
00:39:58,625 --> 00:40:00,042
and that was an ATF...
935
00:40:00,167 --> 00:40:01,875
ATF has a helicopter
in the Uinta Basin?
936
00:40:02,042 --> 00:40:04,667
Uh, they could have
hired somebody, right?
937
00:40:04,792 --> 00:40:07,042
There are no helicopters out
here equipped with night vision.
938
00:40:07,167 --> 00:40:08,458
TRAVIS:
That's a good point.
939
00:40:08,583 --> 00:40:11,000
I mean, there's not
a military base nearby.
940
00:40:11,167 --> 00:40:12,958
-No.
-I mean right here
that has helicopters.
941
00:40:13,083 --> 00:40:13,958
-We're talking minutes.
-Yeah.
942
00:40:14,083 --> 00:40:15,042
Who alerted them that fast?
943
00:40:15,167 --> 00:40:16,542
And where was that helicopter?
944
00:40:16,708 --> 00:40:17,667
Where did it come from?
945
00:40:17,792 --> 00:40:18,750
How did it get here so quick?
946
00:40:18,875 --> 00:40:20,708
It's well known
that the federal government
947
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:23,250
investigated Skinwalker Ranch
in the past.
948
00:40:23,375 --> 00:40:25,375
But I'm not aware of any
949
00:40:25,542 --> 00:40:27,417
current government
investigations here.
950
00:40:27,542 --> 00:40:31,042
So are we being spied on
while we conduct our operations?
951
00:40:31,167 --> 00:40:33,333
I don't know,
but I want to find out.
952
00:40:33,458 --> 00:40:35,792
THOMAS:
What a night!
953
00:40:35,917 --> 00:40:38,958
Hey, look, uh, we've got
a lot of equipment here,
954
00:40:39,042 --> 00:40:40,042
it's getting late.
955
00:40:40,167 --> 00:40:41,708
Well, let's get
cleaned up, shall we?
956
00:40:41,833 --> 00:40:42,542
-Yes.
-All right.
957
00:40:42,708 --> 00:40:43,875
TRAVIS:
All right, well, let's pack up.
958
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:45,250
THOMAS:
Let's get wrapped up.
959
00:40:45,375 --> 00:40:49,417
ERIK: What the heck is going on
in that space above this area?
960
00:40:49,542 --> 00:40:51,292
What are we seeing?
961
00:40:51,417 --> 00:40:53,667
Is there in fact
exotic physics playing out
962
00:40:53,792 --> 00:40:55,333
in the space
just above the triangle?
963
00:40:55,458 --> 00:40:58,000
That's what we hope to find out.
964
00:40:58,125 --> 00:41:02,708
TRAVIS:
We may have found a real
unexplained phenomena
965
00:41:02,875 --> 00:41:04,250
above the triangle
966
00:41:04,375 --> 00:41:06,667
that nobody
has ever seen ever before.
967
00:41:06,792 --> 00:41:10,250
Could this new anomaly,
this blob,
968
00:41:10,375 --> 00:41:12,167
be the cause of each
of these incidents
969
00:41:12,292 --> 00:41:13,667
over the triangle?
970
00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:16,667
BRANDON: We are on the verge
of getting the very answers
971
00:41:16,833 --> 00:41:18,667
that we've been
seeking for years.
972
00:41:18,792 --> 00:41:21,333
We've made incredible
progress in documenting
973
00:41:21,458 --> 00:41:22,667
the reality of the phenomenon.
974
00:41:22,750 --> 00:41:25,167
We are just getting started
975
00:41:25,333 --> 00:41:28,500
in scratching the surface of
what we are really dealing with
976
00:41:28,583 --> 00:41:31,917
here at Skinwalker Ranch.
977
00:41:36,375 --> 00:41:39,125
THOMAS:
I've arranged for a crane
to come in and to lift a lot
978
00:41:39,208 --> 00:41:41,833
of these big rocks
at the bottom of the mesa.
979
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,417
This 1.6 gigahertz signal
seems to be coming
980
00:41:45,542 --> 00:41:47,083
from right there
where that big crane is.
981
00:41:47,208 --> 00:41:50,500
ERIK:
We're going to probe
that space down at the triangle.
982
00:41:50,583 --> 00:41:53,083
Kaleb will be releasing
projectiles.
983
00:41:54,458 --> 00:41:55,542
Holy crap.
984
00:41:55,708 --> 00:41:59,000
This is a video recording
taken from the triangle.
985
00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:00,667
-Right there.
-Holy cow!
986
00:42:00,792 --> 00:42:03,083
