-That upper area right there.
-KALEB: Up in there?

JAY:
We could see in the distance

what looked like
a shadow figure or,

you know, a person
standing on the second floor.

KALEB:
I'm wondering

what's setting off the cameras.

BRYANT:
If it's back at the tree line,

that thing's pretty big.

TRAVIS:
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

BRYANT:
Middle of the day,

an orb like that-- that's crazy.

ERIK: There's something
about those two spots

and the point where it dips
into the ground a thousand feet.

JAY:
That's amazing.

Wow.

NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:

animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings

and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years,
the federal government

tried to find answers
and failed.

Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,

researchers and experts
has taken over.

They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...

...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.

ERIK:
Okay, so here we go.

BRYANT:
Come on over, Pete.

PETE:
What you got for me?

THOMAS: I'm glad you're here,
because, uh, Erik

was telling us that you got some
new equipment that can help us

maybe better identify
what lies below the ground here.

ERIK:
With a particular interest

in spots
that have been disturbed

perhaps in the past.

-Uh-huh.
-TRAVIS: Last week...

We're gonna use you today

as part of an experiment.

...we conducted an experiment

with former Skinwalker
Ranch investigator Jay Stratton

to see if the property
would respond in some way

to his presence.

-Y'all in?
-THOMAS: You are cleared

-for takeoff.
-TRAVIS: We took him

on a tour where he had
experienced phenomena

when he was here
over a decade ago.

And we were shocked
by the results.

Now, I'm going
to bring up the data

generated during your visit.

TRAVIS:
The GPS data we recorded
during the tour went

several hundred feet underground

between Homestead Two
and the drill site at the mesa.

Wow.

So now Erik Bard arranged

for technologist Pete Kelsey
to come back out

to help us search for
anything strange or unnatural

beneath that location.

ERIK:
Pete, fill us in
on what you've got.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Multispectral.

THOMAS:
What does it do?

PETE:
Well, it's designed,

really, to work in agriculture.

If the soil under plants
has been disturbed,

they will show up differently
in the multispectral imagery.

Hmm.

TRAVIS:
A drone-based
multispectral camera

is designed to image
different wavelengths of light.

By scanning the ground,

it can build a geophysical model
of the surface

that could help us identify
any evidence of past excavations

or even underground structures
like tunnels.

PETE:
A multispectral camera--

it's typically used, um,
on farms and for agriculture

to determine, uh,

the health, if you will,
of the crops.

But because plants
grow differently

over soil that's been disturbed
at some point in time,

it's an amazing tool
for archaeology.

I've got colleagues
who have found Roman ruins

-under wheat fields in England.
-Wow.

If we're lucky, things will
jump out in this field

that we'd never see otherwise.

That's what we're after.

I'm excited to get you to work
and get that scan.

I'd love to see what you find.

It's very interesting
to me to see

the GPS data from the experiment
that we did with Jay Stratton.

PETE:
That'll work.

THOMAS:
And it's at this very point

that we see the GPS
start diving underground.

You can slide it on the back,
if you want.

THOMAS:
I'm really curious
to see Pete Kelsey's data.

What would make the GPS go
below the surface here?

PETE:
That is
a multispectral camera.

-BRYANT: That's it, huh?
-THOMAS: Oh, wow.
-ERIK: Wow.

The stories
that have been shared with us

about this region
of the property suggest

that there is in fact
a concentration

of unusual phenomenology
that begins at the mesa

and extends all the way out
to the homesteads.

Is there
some kind of a connection

between these two locations?

Hopefully, this exercise
will help us to sort that out.

I'm gonna power up.

TRAVIS:
Pete's multispectral scan

was going to take
a couple of hours to complete.

So while Erik supervised
that process...

♪ ♪

-THOMAS: Hey, Joe.
-How you doing?

...Thomas Winterton,
Dragon and Kaleb Bench

led our colleague Joe Loeb
out to the mesa drill site.

So, got the drill?

Got it in the back of the truck,
all ready.

TRAVIS:
Over the past couple of years,

Joe's been helping Dragon
and Kaleb with ranch security,

but he's also
a professional drill operator.

So Thomas and Erik asked him
to try to help us

with our new strategy to
figure out what could be buried

inside the mesa.

We've got a...

water truck or two
coming here in a little bit.

Um, so, really,
we'll get the drill up there.

We'll find a place that you feel
like you can get it set up

that's right over top
of the anomaly.

So if we can get right
in that area

and then drill down
on top of it,

-that's our hope.
-Okay.

How fast do you think
you can drill 40 feet?

JOE: We're working
with sandstone and...

who knows what else through this
area right here in the mesa.

So it could take...

-...one foot an hour.
-Okay.

So the rocks
aren't gonna be an issue.

They'll just slow it down.

Yeah.

TRAVIS:
Using ground-penetrating radar,

we've identified
two possibly metallic anomalies

buried in the mesa.

One is about 400 feet long,

and we believe
that it's shaped like a dome.

Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.

Could even be... maybe a dome.

TRAVIS:
We've conducted
two drilling operations

trying to penetrate it,

and we failed both times.

But we did collect
small fragments

that are made
of the same kind of materials

that NASA uses
to protect the space shuttles

from the extreme heat of reentry

-from outer space.
-ERIK: Oh, my.

TRAVIS: And behind that,
we've identified something

in a vertical position
that's over a hundred feet tall

and about 40 feet
below the surface of the mesa.

Look at that.

Since we couldn't penetrate

the dome-shaped object,

Joe has brought out
a manually operated drill

that we hope can reach the
vertical anomaly from the top

and help us identify
just what it is.

We've got a thousand-plus pounds
of stuff to get up there.

I guess
we should get it unloaded

-and get started.
-Let's do it.
-Yeah. Yeah.

So is this the heaviest part?

-Yes.
-Oh, sheesh.

It's not gonna be fun.

Six years, I've heard
all kinds of crazy stories

about this mesa.

Spacecraft going in it,

tunnels, caverns,
underground bases.

We've seen the mesa light up.

Definitely makes me wonder
what's going on inside the mesa.

BRYANT:
Dude, where's
Cameron's helicopter?

♪ ♪

[beeping]

THOMAS: Well, we got
to pump water to the top

of the hill here.
Think you can pump it?

Well... [exhales]
we're crazy enough to try it.

-So...
-Okay.

[whirring]

-NICK: Heads up!
-Yeah!

Here it comes.

BRYANT: The way that this drill
works is they pump water,

which makes a lubrication

for this thing
to be able to drill through

and keep the bit cool.

I'm not gonna lie-- it's been
a lot of work getting this pump

and this drill rig
up on top of the mesa.

I'm really hopeful
that all the sweat

and effort that's gone into it
pays off with results.

JOE:
Gonna fire this up.

[engine rumbling]

[drilling]

There it goes. Okay.

BRYANT:
Given the nature of the dirt
and the sandstone here,

it's proving again
on Skinwalker Ranch

that nothing is easy.

I've asked Joe if he would
stay up here on top of the mesa

and keep working this drill.

We're not making
a lot of headway right now.

But if anyone can do it, he can,
and we're hopeful

that we'll get some results.

We'll just keep grinding
on this.

-Okay. All right.
-So Kaleb and I

are gonna do a patrol on
the south side of the property.

THOMAS: Okay. Well,
we'll get out of your way

and let you start
punching a hole.

♪ ♪

BRYANT: I'll be curious to see
if we see anything

on our trail cams,
especially given that weird

silver orb thing,
whatever that was.

Yeah. I agree.

TRAVIS:
Over the last several weeks,

the south field of the ranch
has become

a hotbed of strange activity.

THOMAS: Whoa! What was
that purple light over there?

TRAVIS: First, Thomas saw
a flashing purple light

during a nighttime experiment
just a few feet off the ground.

THOMAS:
Oh! Got it again!

TRAVIS:
And when he went
to investigate it...

That is flashing,
whatever that is.

...Kaleb and I saw a UAP
in the sky right above him

that seemed
to track his movements.

Several days later,
Thomas and Kaleb

found the remains of a dead deer

and noticed a fence post that
had been burned by something

that had to be
as hot as lightning

but inexplicably didn't burn
anything else around it.

What the heck
would have burned this post?

TRAVIS: And just last week,
while checking

the footage of the new cameras
that we set up in the area...

BRYANT:
Whoa.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Back that up.
-You see that?

...Dragon and Kaleb saw
a silver-colored object

near the ground right near where
Thomas saw the purple light.

What?

I don't think it's a bad thing
for us to get out on foot

and go cruise around here
and see if there's anything

-that looks out of place.
-KALEB: I completely agree.

[doors creaking]

There's a lot of area
through here that we...

you can only cover
on foot, though.

Right.

As long as the only thing
we're finding

is signs of the actual wildlife

that's supposed to be here,
I'm okay with that.

-Right.
-It's the other kind
that I'm worried about.

Property line's
not too much farther.

BRYANT:
Hey, Kaleb?

What the heck?

It looks fresh to me.

Holy crap, that just happened.

That's strange. Like, holy crap,
that just happened.

It's the second young one
that's dead.

Right, it's not too far
from the last one that was...

-KALEB: No.
-...estranged by the burnt post.

You know what? Kaleb,
I'm just gonna take a few shots

with my camera
so we can show the vet.

KALEB:
Yeah. It just makes me wonder
about the coloration

on some of these bones, too,
flipping them over

and they're pink
like that, or reddish.

BRYANT:
Yep.

BRYANT:
With all the activity we've seen

in the south field recently,

given the fact that we found
this mysterious burnt post,

this dead deer,
this strange silver object

that looks like an orb,

and the purple light,

it's all starting
to connect a little bit.

So I'll be curious to hear
what the vet thinks of it all.

-Should we head back? Okay.
-Yeah.

Get back to it.

-Hey, Bryant.
-Hey, man.

You get those photos
sent off to Haleigh?

Is that...?

BRYANT:
Yeah, I got those sent over.

I'll see if
I can get her on Zoom.

-Hi, Haleigh.
-How are you?

Good. I know you're
probably tired of us

sending you pictures
of dead deer,

but on this side
of the property,

we've got two that don't
seem to be your typical...

you know, at least from
our estimation, predator kills.

So, what do you think of
the latest pictures we sent you?

It's hard to say
from just pictures,

but it looks like a similar size
as far as the actual deer is,

but I feel like this story
is fairly different overall.

-Okay.
-These bones have
a lot more trauma to them.

I would say there's
more signs that either

predation happened
or there were bigger animals

attacking this animal.

Interesting.

I think the scapula
is really interesting.

So, the scapula
is the shoulder blade.

There are two large holes
towards the top of that scapula.

And so, when I look
at that, I go,

"Well, uh, are those
canine holes or teeth holes?"

You know, that would be
a very strong animal

if that were the case.

Are coyotes...
do they get big enough

where they could
possibly do this?

Or are we talking about
something bigger than that?

I would suspect that it would be
something bigger than that.

Wow.

We definitely have
also heard stories

of big wolves
and things of that nature.

You know, if you're talking
about that type of an animal,

-that opens up a whole
different type of discussion.
-Yeah.

BRYANT:
I mean, we've heard
so many stories about

things that happened in the past

from the Sherman family
that lived here on the ranch

when all sorts of strange things
were really happening.

So, the way the story goes is
Mr. Sherman and his son,

they had just had some of their
prize cattle had have calves.

Across the field, they saw what
looked like a great big wolf.

[snarling]

And we're talking
its head standing

four or five feet
off the ground.

People equate it to a dire wolf.

And then
one of their prized calves

got near the rails
of the corral,

and the wolf reached in
and grabbed it by its snout.

So Mr. Sherman pulled out
a .357 revolver.

-Shot it with
the full six rounds.
-[gunshots]

And the wolf still
did not drop the calf.

So, he had his son
run in the house

and get his
.30-06 hunting rifle.

Finally, after
the second shot...

-[gunshot]
-[wolf snarling]

...the wolf dropped the calf,

went trotting off,

and then basically
disappearing into nothing

as if the thing
had just kind of vaporized.

The other issue is when,
if these are bigger predators,

cats, wolves or otherwise,
then they're not afraid

to go after humans as well.

So you definitely have to
make sure you guys are safe.

Dr. Lundgreen, thank you
so much for taking the time.

We really value and appreciate
your opinion on this stuff,

and I'm sure that
we'll be reaching out again

if you'll allow us to.

Yeah, well, I'm happy to do it.

BRYANT:
Thank you so much.

Idle up.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-A little bit.

The next day,
while we were waiting

for Pete Kelsey
to present the data

from his multispectral scans,

Kaleb Bench, Dragon
and Thomas Winterton

hiked up to the top of the mesa
to check in with Joe Loeb

on the progress
of his drilling operation.

THOMAS:
We're sitting right on top
of that GPR anomaly

that Jan showed us.

-So, is it drilling then?
-A little bit.

THOMAS:
A little bit?

It's doing about
three inches an hour.

-All right.
-It might just be
a heavy rock right up here.

If we catch that bite,
that holds it tight.

THOMAS:
It's gonna take a while,
slow but steady.

JOE:
We're just grinding
through this rock right now.

We got to bust through
that crust

to get it stabilized.

-[grinding]
-[whirring]

ERIK:
Well, you ready to...

have a conversation
with Pete Kelsey

-and review some data with us?
-Always ready.

TRAVIS:
Later that afternoon,

Erik gathered us all
in the command center

after Pete Kelsey told him

he had fully processed
the data from the scans between

the mesa drill site
and Homestead Two.

-Hey.
-Hey there, Pete.
-Hey, Pete.

-Hey, guys.
-Well, as usual,
we're in suspense.

So, um, this is one look
at the data,

the multispectral data we flew.

Hey, Pete,
what's the color scale mean?

Essentially, where it's bright
is where, frankly,

the grass or the hay
is doing really well.

Where it's bright,
the grass is doing well.

Where it's dark, it's really dry

and the grass or hay
isn't doing so well.

So, to cut to the chase,

after looking at this
for a while,

what stands out
is a perfect circle.

Look right there
by th-the bait pen.

There are three circles that
are just absolutely circular.

-Look to the left
of the bait pen.
-Yep.

-ERIK: Just to the west.
-Yep.

I can play with the spectrum
to make this more obvious.

TRAVIS:
Yeah, right there.

They look unnatural.

What's interesting about this,

among other things,
is where it is.

It's right across
from the drill site.

Wow.

PETE:
That's pretty crazy.

TRAVIS: Look right there
by the bait pen.

There are three circles.
Yeah, right there.

If I play with the colorization
a little bit,

you can see how I can
make this look like this.

TRAVIS:
Okay.

The three circular formations

in Pete Kelsey's
multispectral scans

between the mesa drill site

and Homestead Two
were really odd.

Especially because
they were in the same area

where we got
all the bizarre GPS data

during our tour
with Jay Stratton.

We're talking about
these circular things here?

-Yeah.
-Those are the ones
that really stand out.

Yeah. They really do.
They do look out of place.

And that's right across
from the drill site.

PETE:
I mean, I'm not a...

I'm not a botanist, but how's
that gonna happen naturally?

TRAVIS:
And at this spot right here,
if you recall,

that's where Jay's GPS data
went way underground.

Maybe as much
as a quarter of a mile.

That's really interesting.

TRAVIS:
It's clear that someone,
or something,

has disturbed the ground where
these circles were identified.

Now, it could be
that they were simply left

by old grain silos that previous
ranchers had used there.

KRIS PORRIT: Right over there
by that tree.

TRAVIS:
But it also reminded me

of when retired
local sheriff Kris Porritt

visited the ranch two years ago.

He shared an incredible story
about something he saw

back in the 1980s
not far from the south field

where we found
the deer carcasses,

saw the purple light
near the ground

and the UAP in the sky
above Thomas.

So, this is the spot.

There was matted grass
where something heavy had sat

in these weeds and made
an impression in the dirt.

23 feet, tip to tip.

I presume that
it was a spaceship.

I've said it, didn't I?

Pete, are there
any other circular features

that stand out so clearly
as these besides the bait pen?

PETE:
Not as clearly,

as well-defined as these.

TRAVIS:
Who knows?

Maybe these circles
have a mundane explanation,

but since they appeared
in the same area

where the GPS data from
our ranch tour with Jay Stratton

inexplicably went underground,

we need to investigate them
and look for any other

anomalies in the data.

Got any other cool spots?

PETE:
I do. So, the next bit...

is right here.

-Just to the west? Uh-huh.
-PETE: Yeah.

This is Homestead Two
right here.

ERIK:
Okay.

What I see
that doesn't quite fit

is down here.

There's a horizontal line
right here.

Pete, go to the grayscale view.

Hold on a minute, Pete.

It's actually four lines.

If you look closely, you got
the top one, and then the one

right under it is kind of broken
in the dark spot there.

Yep. And then there's
the one under that

and then the bottom one.

It might even be five lines.

PETE:
It's just strange.

ERIK:
So, Pete, I'm just wondering...

What do you think
those lines are?

Well, if that's
some kind of a depression,

that's gonna pool water and the
plants will grow differently.

TRAVIS:
The lines Pete detected just
west of the strange circles

and to the south
of our drill site in the mesa

also didn't look like anything
that would've formed in nature.

We couldn't tell from this data
how deep they were

from the surface,
but it looked like

somebody or something
created them.

The question was:

Could they be
what made the GPS data

from our tour with Jay Stratton
go deep underground?

Now, Thomas, when you walk
in that area there

where we see those,
uh, lines from left to right,

have you picked up on anything?

Is there anything
about the ground

that stands out to you?

I-I can't say that I've noticed
anything out there.

Hmm.

You look everywhere else
where the water runs,

it looks more natural
and random.

But you look at that spot,

it looks like
it was a cut channel.

PETE:
That suggests man-made to me.

Anything that linear,
that orthogonal,

that to me suggests
somebody dug a trench.

The other thing that maybe
it's not so obvious

is-is they're on
a perfect east-west line.

What are the odds of that?

Could it be
when Bigelow was here,

-maybe Bigelow dug there?
-ERIK: Good question.

So does that mean that this
space has already been searched?

That makes me think
that maybe it has been.

But, guys, I mean,
this is in the area

we were told not to dig.

Right.

TRAVIS:
Two years ago...

There is an actual location
on the ranch

where the Shermans
said not to dig.

TRAVIS:
...the current ranch owner
Brandon Fugal

was warned
that disturbing the ground

in this same area
near Homestead Two

would cause
dangerous phenomena to occur.

The Shermans worked the ranch
before and during

the Bigelow investigations
from the late 1990s

to the early 2000s.

A lot of the details of that era

have still never been released
to the public.

So, could these anomalies
in the field near Homestead Two

be related to digging operations
conducted by that team

and also explain why they said
no one should ever dig there?

There might be
only one way to find out.

After looking at this, I think

that maybe Bigelow was
out here doing some digging.

So, it's not hard
for me to believe

that they were out here
searching for something as well.

I think there's some excavation
we could do there.

But now since we know
their lines went east and west,

I think we ought to start

and go north and south
and dig some swipes.

-See if we can intersect it.
-Yeah.

Yeah, you want to get down
in that, in that plane

and see what those
differences really are,

if they go deeper
than the surface.

Yeah, if it's compacted
and then it's loose, right?

-Yeah.
-Then we'd know
they'd dug there before.

So, are we all
in agreement, then?

We want to go out and dig
those couple spots?

-ERIK: Yeah.
-Yeah.

Okay, so I'll make
some arrangements

and we'll get
a excavator out here

-and we'll go out and dig.
-Okay.

ERIK:
Yep, love it.

JOE: We'll just keep grinding
on this for right now.

Yeah, sending you guys water.
Let me know if you get

good pressure up there.

We're good for a little bit.

TRAVIS:
The following morning,

while Joe Loeb
continued drilling

into the top of the mesa...

...the rest of us
joined Thomas Winterton

out in the field
near Homestead Two

where he was waiting
with a three-ton excavator.

We were eager
to start digging to see

just what all these anomalies
under the surface could be.

Well, the lines are over there

'cause that hole,
that pile of dirt right there,

is between
the bottom two, right?

I think it's right here.

I don't know, where do you
think about digging?

Well, my thoughts would be
to start about right here

and do a trench probably back
to where you're at, Travis.

Listen, we'll get started.

Thomas, you get yourself
in place.

-[beeping]
-[engine starts]

ERIK:
Before we start disturbing
the earth, we want to make sure

that we have all the monitoring
equipment in place

to detect anything
that we might stir up

as a result of the digging.

-Are you monitoring
1.6 right now?
-I am right now.

BRYANT:
This data we've received from
Pete is really amazing stuff,

and we're all anxious to see

what in the world
it could be about,

but the fact
that this is leading

to another digging exercise
on Skinwalker Ranch

really kind of makes me
a little bit nervous.

I don't know
what it is about digging,

but we need to be very careful
and tread lightly.

TRAVIS:
Let's get digging.

TRAVIS:
Let's get digging.

Ever since the first day
I was involved

in the investigation
of Skinwalker Ranch,

I was told bad things happen
when you dig here.

But after seeing Pete Kelsey's
multispectral data scans

showing five mysterious lines
in the field

just east of Homestead Two,

we knew we had to take
a risk and dig.

-That's good topsoil.
-KALEB: Yeah.

We need to know
what these lines actually are

and how they might be connected

to all the strange phenomena
that people have encountered

in this section of the ranch
over the years.

Kaleb, you want to see
what's right there?

Is that just rocks?

I'm seeing some coloration
in there.

Yeah, it's like there's
a layer of it or something.

And you can see it,
especially right there.

There was a consistent layer
of some kind of material.

I don't know
what this material is,

but we've done some digging
on other areas of the ranch,

and it is different than what
we are seeing in other places.

Okay, well,
maybe another 20 feet?

KALEB:
Yeah.

TRAVIS:
Find something, Kaleb?

He's been getting
some, like, striation.

-Starts about right there.
-Oh, yeah, right there.

But does it stop?

Oh, whoa, wait a minute.

THOMAS:
Did you find something?

TRAVIS:
There's something different
in the dirt right here.

So, look, Thomas,
the clay-looking stuff stops

-right there
and it starts right here.
-Yep.

TRAVIS:
And that would be
where the line is.

So, the line would be like this,
and that's the line.

And it's about
bulldozer width, too.

Hey, guys,
y'all come look at this!

What do you got?

-Did you find a discontinuity?
-Yeah.

You see this gray clay stuff?

-Yep, yep.
-And it stops right there.

ERIK:
Yeah.

I'm looking through here, and
I'm not seeing anything like...

ERIK:
No, there's nothing
like that through here.

-TRAVIS: It's a layer.
-BRYANT: Definitely a layer.

And it's about bulldozer width.

ERIK:
Yeah.

TRAVIS:
Well, I wasn't expecting that.

ERIK:
We have some layer
very near the anomaly

that we got
out of Pete Kelsey's survey.

That's pretty interesting.

It's obvious that this is a spot

that we really need to learn
as much as we can about.

There you go.

Right there's a piece of it,
right there.

ERIK:
It's got some really fine
crystalline material in it.

TRAVIS:
There's a crystal
in there, absolutely.

'Cause it glistens
in the sunlight.

So what is that doing
just in that spot?

-And why is there five stripes
of it in the field?
-Yeah.

What on earth is it? I mean...

BRYANT:
You wouldn't think
that would make an effect

-on the vegetation.
-Yeah.

-But why is it here?
-ERIK: Yeah, why is it here?

-KALEB: That's interesting.
-Yeah, why isn't it
everywhere, right?

-Yeah.
-TRAVIS: That's a telltale
sign of something.

But of what? I don't know.

Neither Erik nor I had any idea

what to make of the grayish
material we uncovered

in the field
just east of Homestead Two.

But it definitely corresponded
with the lines we saw

in Pete Kelsey's
multispectral scans of the area.

If nothing else, it tells us...

how accurate
that multispectral data is.

-That's pretty impressive.
-That's amazing.

Well, are you gonna run
another one on this side

-to see if it continues on?
-THOMAS: Probably should, huh?

We could go over closer to
the tree and-and dig that way.

If you hit another stripe
back there, Thomas,

then we may have
found these lines.

Okay, well, I'll take
the excavator over there,

and we'll dig a trench
over there.

TRAVIS:
We'll see you over there, man.

[beeping]

Now that we've intersected
the first line,

we need to go
to the other end of it

and do another
cross-section dig.

That way, we can confirm
that what we're finding here

continues just
as the data shows.

As of now, we're all stumped

as to what in the heck
this stuff could be.

This is as close
as I want to get to this tree

so I'm not getting
into some heavy roots.

-Yeah.
-We'll dig it back a ways

and see if we can find
those same layers.

All right, we'll get
out of your way, Thomas.

THOMAS:
Okay.

TRAVIS:
It should be all
coming in right in here.

Can you see it?

-Uh-uh.
-Me, neither.

[beeping]

Yeah, look at that right there.

TRAVIS:
Hey, Thomas, stop, stop, stop!

You see something?

Yeah, it's a big piece
of something.

TRAVIS:
It's hard for me to believe
that's Mother Nature.

TRAVIS: It's hard for me to
believe that's Mother Nature.

Yeah, but is it
that same material?

It doesn't break
like the other stuff.

There's a metal post
right behind you.

-Yep. It's the stuff.
-It's the same stuff.

Looks just like it.

-It's a good sample.
-A real good sample.

I'm gonna make sure
Erik gets this.

BRYANT:
We didn't know what to expect

from Pete's multispectral data,
but it's pretty amazing.

What in the world
are those lines

and why are they here?

Sounds like you guys
have got something.

We can't think of
a mundane explanation as to why

a farmer would dig
five straight lines in a field

and put this, you know, gray,
silvery, shiny rock in there.

Mm-hmm.

TRAVIS:
And-and there's no...
it makes no sense.

-That you can only see
in the multispectrum.
-Right.

We-- Just think about it.

We would've never even
thought about this

but having that
multispectral data.

And we look at it,
we see these lines,

we come looking for it,
we find it,

but why is it there?

So I know your wheels
are already turning.

Maybe you've got some ideas
about what's going on here.

TRAVIS:
Erik was right.

I was trying to come up
with some reason

for these straight lines
of crystal-like materials

that looked
very clearly deposited.

-Two thoughts.
-ERIK: Okay.

And both of them
are a little bit crazy.

Imagine maybe during
the Bigelow era,

they were doing
some classified program

and they dug straight lines,

put this reflective
material in it,

then covered it all up

so they could look at it
with a classified sensor

from space or high altitude.

-Okay.
-But that's a stretch.
To what end?

To what purpose?
How would you do that?

Why would you do that? And
the technology wasn't there yet.

The other one is, if you were
an advanced civilization

and you were marking
an area for some reason

and you didn't want
the indigenous population

to know about it, uh,
you would put it in a way

that is, in plain sight,
we would've never found it

had we not had the multispectral
technology to find it there.

And that's how we found it.

Who's to say it's not reflective
in some other phenomenology

that's more advanced than
the multispectral thing?

It might be a bright beacon
of five lines out here

in the field that you can see
from way up above it.

-Yeah.
-TRAVIS: Right?
Why in this one spot?

Why convergent right here
at this tree?

I find that weird.

These five perfect stripes
in this field

make about as much sense to me

as that big dome object
in the mesa.

TRAVIS:
I came to Skinwalker Ranch
as a skeptic four years ago.

But after seeing
more UAPs than I can count

and detecting all kinds
of mysterious frequencies,

some of which may be
communication signals,

I don't know
what to think anymore.

I can't believe this is natural.

If it were natural,
it would be all over the ranch.

-Yeah.
-Right?
-Yeah, yeah.

So, it seems fairly obvious
that our first order

of business here is to get
that off to the university

and have our contacts there
do an analysis on it.

-All right. All right.
-All right,
let's go pack it up.

Hey, you guys.

-How you doing?
-What are we looking at today?

Uh, we're looking at
the elemental analysis

on some of the samples
that we recently collected.

We sent them off,
had them analyzed

at the University of, uh, Utah.

This is University of Utah,
Geophysics.

TRAVIS:
After the dig
near Homestead Two,

we got the lab results back

on the crystal-like samples
we dug up there.

So, Erik and I couldn't wait
to share them with the team.

The interesting thing is, uh...

So, if you scroll a little bit

to the right there, Erik,
so we can see it.

What it's got in it,
the-the abundant materials in it

are sodium, magnesium...

There's a little bit
of scandium, but not a lot,

but a lot of calcium
and potassium,

and there's a lot
of aluminum and iron.

Well, if you remember when
we analyzed the drill mud...

-Uh-huh.
-...uh, it was
the same materials,

almost to the, to a "T"
with the percentages.

So, what we're seeing here
is that whatever is inside

the mesa where we drilled

is also what these
white-gray lines are

that's out there that the
multispectral sensor picked up.

That's the same mud
that's inside the mesa.

Interesting.

-But in strips?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.

The mud that's inside the mesa,

how did it get out there
into the field

in the same place in five lines?

It almost sounds like
they were put there.

When we did previous excavation,

I didn't notice
any gray material,

like in those big pits
that we excavated.

We've dug all over it.

At the triangle,
out in the east field.

We've dug everywhere.
I've never seen that before.

Well, I'm just thinking of
those flat pieces of metal

-that we brought out of
the mesa last year, right?
-Right.

Some of those materials
could be used for a spacecraft.

Now, that is an interesting
tie-in because two of the things

that are very important
and the materials that came out

of the mesa last year,
the metal,

-was aluminum and iron.
-ERIK: Mm-hmm.

Which we see in these lines.

We see aluminum and iron.

So, is this mud
somehow a remanent

of whatever
these metal flakes are?

Did something happen and then,
some reason or another,

they come and make lines
out of whatever this was?

Or were the lines there
because of

whatever it is
that's in the mesa?

We have scientifically verified

that the strange lines
of crystal-like materials

we uncovered
near the circular anomalies

in the field
east of Homestead Two

are composed of
the same kinds of materials

that we pulled out
of the mesa...

I don't know if
I'm getting through this.

TRAVIS:
...after we ran into whatever

this hard object was
that the drill

couldn't break through
deep inside.

These teeth are all
perfectly intact.

TRAVIS:
It makes me think
they have to be

directly correlated
to one another.

The drill tip mud.
There are these similarities.

Um, I mean, look at
the highlighted rows.

-Look at the-the color code
that Erik used.
-Yeah.

TRAVIS:
The interesting thing
about it, too,

is these are actually
somewhat conductive materials.

So what we're seeing here
is you've got the sodium,

the magnesium, the aluminum,

the potassium,
the calcium, the iron.

All of those are very good
at conducting electricity.

But I guess that begs
the question: What in the world

are those lines for?

TRAVIS:
From the multispectral data,

you've got the five lines
diverging on one end,

converging to a point down by
the tree behind the Homestead.

Then out here,
there's that circle,

and then the mesa is right there
where the GPR anomaly is, right?

It almost looks, when you
look at it from the top,

like a circuit board.

Like it's an electric circuit

built in the surface
of the ranch to do something.

To what? I don't know.

What the hell is a circuit doing
out in the middle a field?

THOMAS:
Yeah.

Well, it makes you wonder:
to what end?

If, say, it's like an
electrical circuit of some sort.

Is this like electrical
field lines that's...

that you can measure
with other equipment?

And the multispectral thing
is just a side effect

that it had on the vegetation
and we're able to see it now?

Or was it intended that way
from the start?

Walking out there,
I wouldn't have known

there's anything there.

I wouldn't have suspected it.

-Perfectly hidden.
-Yeah.

Only people with
the advanced technology

that we've discovered
within the last handful of years

could see those lines
and even know they were there.

BRYANT:
Or they're ancient enough

that maybe they were on top
of the ground at some point.

But that still
begs the question:

What were they leading to
and what were they pointing out?

ERIK:
So we've talked about
two interpretations,

one of them being that it's,
that it's a marking,

it's an indicator,
and the other one that I find

really interesting is that
it is somehow functional.

Yeah, where would it be coming
from and what's it going to?

-That's the question.
-And the discussion's
not complete

without reminding ourselves
here that we are

not far from the location
where we were told not to dig.

There may be something
of exotic origin

buried underneath the field.

We know that it has

an interesting
elemental composition.

Yes. Similar to only one other
place we found it on the ranch,

-and that's inside the mesa
by a GPR anomaly.
-Yeah. Yeah.

TRAVIS:
I don't know what this thing is
and how it got there.

You know, I think it's a mystery
we need to get to the bottom of.

A-At this point, it makes sense
to just leave it as it is,

don't change anything.

If we study it,
do it noninvasively.

-We don't know what it is.
-Yeah.

But, uh, we need to see
what's underneath

-the entire ranch.
-TRAVIS: I agree.

Some more studies,
uh, merited here.

Yeah, I agree.
Measurements, too.

Yeah. Thanks, guys.

BRYANT:
I'm really surprised and curious

as to what has created
these lines.

Could it be an old structure
that's underground?

Could it be an old pathway?

I mean, we're right here
close to Homestead Two,

as well as the drill site.

Are they connected somehow?

But I hope
it's something important,

and I'm anxious to find out.

ERIK:
This is becoming an even more
puzzling area of the ranch.

I did not expect these results.

Looking at
the material composition,

I'm beginning to think
that there's something

far more interesting here.

I can't help but wonder
whether we are in fact

dealing with
something technological.

We have to continue searching.

TRAVIS:
These lines
are absolutely bizarre,

and we really need
to dig into what they are

and-and if it can help us
with our investigation.

BRANDON:
We're dealing with forces
that are powerful

and yet to be explained
or understood.

It has been exciting to see
this team pull together

and expand the scope

of the investigation
to include so many topics

that really haven't
been addressed

at Skinwalker Ranch.

JEREMIAH:
We'll be flying
a weather balloon

with a low-frequency radar.

We're seeing all these
strange things in the data.

TRAVIS:
There's a phenomena

that the instruments
are passing through.

I mean, what the hell
is up there?

THOMAS: So we have something
that's got a heat signature.

What could be down there?

There's a big plane
that just flew over us.

ERIK:
Travis, this aircraft
is not transponding.

We're being surveilled.
