-THOMAS: Look, it's right there. -TRAVIS: Yep, there you go.

This is one of the best videos we've ever got.

We're hitting something.

MATTY: After all the phenomena

that has been revealed this season...

We are hitting something with the laser.

MATTY: ...on The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch...

PRESTON: Stay back.

Keep moving. There's more coming down.

THOMAS: Heads up!

Can you look up?

It is a cone.

We're all inside it.

MATTY: ...it's pretty safe to say

that the term "strange" has become the new normal.

It looks like it's stuck there.

Look. It's not moving at all.

It's essential to our understanding

-of what's happening. -MATTY: So, tonight,

-I'm meeting with the team... -What is that?

MATTY: ...about the unbelievable encounters

they've had both in the air...

TRAVIS: UAP right there!

THOMAS: It's one of the spots that we've seen the most

UAPs on the property.

MATTY: ...and underground...

It's amazing.

MATTY: ...at one of the strangest areas

on the property known simply as the triangle.

Something's interfering with us,

sometimes perhaps even communicating with us.

-Wow. -TRAVIS: Oh, wow.

Oh, what is that?

♪ ♪

Guys, thank you again for inviting me back to the ranch.

-Thank you for coming. -Yeah.

Well, the triangle certainly is a strange hotspot, and maybe

it's one of the key places

where we have seen

the potential of intelligence

interacting with you guys.

What are your thoughts on that?

As far as I was concerned, it was just a place

where roads intersected.

That's what makes the actual triangle, is just a pathway

where the cattle or vehicles have driven.

But now, I can honestly say,

in all my time on this property,

the most strange things I've ever witnessed

and that I can't wrap my mind around

-have happened in that very spot. -Wow.

Every year, it seems like we get

some kind of evidence

with these new pieces of equipment that we bring out

that I feel like no one else on the Earth has seen.

I think that we'd have to say that it's one of the spots

that we've seen the most UAPs on the property.

Unbelievable.

Look in the sky, y'all!

-Right there. -TRAVIS: Y'all see that?

KALEB: That's not a plane.

TRAVIS: No, this was moving pretty fast.

THOMAS: Look at that.

Watch what happens here.

TRAVIS: Wow.

ERIK: We have several objects

moving in unison above the triangle.

TRAVIS: Look how fast they're moving.

-That's not natural. -Yeah.

Do you feel like there may be some sort of...

...entity or anything special about it?

Certainly, the results that we've seen there are suggestive,

in that very well-defined area,

something's interfering with us,

sometimes perhaps even communicating with us.

TRAVIS: Well, there's at least

some sort of phenomena there that is interacting

with energy matter that we put in that location.

Even a helicopter hovering in that spot,

we felt the helicopter get pushed out of the way.

Wow.

PETE: Nice and easy.

We're getting buffeted from the wind a little bit.

-Whoa. Whoa. -Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

We're getting our asses kicked.

We actually have data that says there may be something

as far as 30 feet beneath the surface

at the triangle,

up to as much as 12,000 feet above the surface.

-Wow. -Is it always there

or is it coming in and out of existence there?

Is it something that's moving around?

Could the anomaly possibly be of intelligent construction?

I don't know.

MATTY: Another strange thing about the triangle

is the amount of equipment failure you tend to have.

Yeah.

MATTY: But I'm thinking also of one

particular experiment you did where

you had an astronomy team come out, correct?

We thought, what could this anomaly be

that's over the triangle?

Is it something that's distorting

our view through the area?

So, let's get an astronomy team out here

with multiple types of telescopes,

with multiple types of recording systems and equipment,

and let's pick particular stars,

point the telescope at it,

and as the Earth rotates and the star moves

across through the anomaly,

and see if it made the star look different.

-Right. -TRAVIS: It did not go as we expected.

It's really odd.

CHUCK: I'm having trouble getting my, uh,

computerized mount aligned.

What is the function that you're trying to do

that it's not doing?

Uh, when we... when I first set up the mount,

-I have to aim it at a couple of stars... -Uh-huh.

...and that builds the model of the sky in the computer.

It's not letting me do that.

This is junk right now.

This is just thousands of dollars' worth of junk.

Something literally erased

the star from the database on these telescopes.

Unbelievable.

When they would pick a star, they would start to track it,

and when it would get to the anomaly,

it would be removed from the database and no longer there.

Wow. So, what do you make of that?

Some form of cloaking or blocking or interference?

Well, it certainly is suggestive of some kind

of intelligent interference, and that's the part,

I think, that we all find,

for lack of a better term, spooky.

We were all gathered back together...

-Yep. -...looking in that direction

and saw probably one of the most stunning,

right-in-your-face UAP events that I think

many of us experienced.

TRAVIS: What the hell is that in the sky?

RICHARD: It's moving real slow.

CHUCK: That thing is big and spherical.

TRAVIS: Yes, it is. It's got a black dot in the center of it.

What in the crap?

If we actually have captured

an honest-to-God nuts-and-bolts UFO...

-MATTY: Right. -...on camera,

I would say that is one of the candidates for it.

-(exhales sharply) Incredible. -Yeah. Absolutely.

As if things couldn't get more strange at the triangle,

you take everything that we've just talked about,

and let's throw a blob around it,

because that's what it looks like we're seeing,

and I want to talk about that next.

We got to talk about that.

The mysterious location on Skinwalker Ranch

known as the triangle has produced incredible phenomena.

Gentlemen, let's talk about

a very anomalous feature

of this incredible triangle area,

and that is the area about 31 feet, if I'm correct, the blob.

ERIK: What we're talking about

is something that was detected, of course,

-with high-speed video footage. -Right.

We were launching a rocket, and just as that rocket

was clearing the tower, of course, it explodes.

Going in five.

Four. Three.

Two. One.

Oh, we got a malfunction. Everybody watch out.

-THOMAS: Oh, it's on fire. -TRAVIS: We got a fire. We got a fire.

THOMAS: Oh, dang.

TRAVIS: The motor blew up.

Hey, check this out. There's something on the camera.

BURDETTE: It's something I've never seen before. Check this out.

So, as it's going, look what you've got...

TRAVIS: There's something in the sky above the rocket right here.

KALEB: That's crazy. No way.

We see something show up at the 30... 30-to-40-foot level,

and, uh, you know, when we, when we first saw this

in the high-speed footage, of course, we're asking

all the standard questions.

Are we looking at normal light scattering?

Is this lens flare?

Right down the line.

None of those explanations hold any water.

(exhales sharply)

It turns out we actually caught it

with more assets than just one camera.

So, we know it wasn't a camera artifact,

and we know it was a real three-dimensional object

or phenomenon.

And the frustrating or curious, fascinating

aspect of what's above the triangle

is that it doesn't seem to be fixed. Correct, Erik?

-It moves on you. -Yeah, that's... that's an important point.

You know, we often use the word "transient"...

-Right. -ERIK: ...to describe

what we're dealing with across the property,

but certainly above the triangle.

We had an industrial drone

with a sophisticated lidar system as its payload

flying at about that 30-foot level,

and nothing about that scan came out normal.

Yeah.

So... so, is this just missing data?

Or do we find the data somewhere else,

where it wouldn't normally be expected to be found?

ROYSTON: The only data we see in this area,

you know, it's pretty dense, so you go

from, like, really dense scan to nothing.

Wow.

It's like it absorbed

the lidar lasers.

TRAVIS: Can you zoom way out?

Whoa.

ERIK: Look at that.

-ROYSTON: That's interesting. -ERIK: Yeah.

What is that red circle?

It's-it's a shadow of something.

What-what are we looking at?

-THOMAS: A black hole? (laughs) -Could be.

-Well, that could be a shadow of a wormhole. -I mean...

TRAVIS: We had the lidar drone up

at 30-ish feet,

and it's moving in a pattern back and forth like this.

And somehow or other, all the light that would've gone

to one small location

and painted that black spot on the ground,

it went somewhere else.

Meaning something absorbed all that light

or scattered it off somewhere else right there.

And then the interesting thing is, this circle of extra light

around whatever this is, it looks a lot like the images

that we see from the Hubble Telescope

and the James Webb Telescope where they're imaging light

behind a black hole.

How's that even possible?

THOMAS: I have to wonder, are we seeing

maybe some type of wormhole or a portal

where it's going into someplace else?

-Yeah. -MATTY: Dragon,

you hear the term "wormhole."

You spent a long time out here.

I know that there are legends to that end.

As we've said, we've inherited this narrative

about things that people have witnessed,

like a tunnel of light

-or a wormhole opening up. -Right.

Kaleb. (chuckles) I mean, you know,

as a law enforcement officer, I imagine

you have to be very judicious

in what you allow yourself to get caught up in.

(laughs) Yes and no.

Um, I've spoken with other officers, actually,

who have investigated things, actually,

in this exact same area.

An officer I know who's a very good friend

actually investigated this very topic.

Absolutely.

Travis, you, you got to see this.

-Okay. -TRAVIS: Well, there's the lasers.

Yeah, I'm doing an instant playback.

-Do you see this? -Oh! Yeah.

-Wow. What the crap is that? -BRANDON: It's moving.

ERIK: Yeah, it looks like it's headed towards the apex.

-TRAVIS: That's crazy. -BRANDON: When did this appear?

This was just now.

Look right here.

This thing is really clipping along.

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

It disappeared.

TRAVIS: What did it disappear into?

BRANDON: Is it a portal?

Are we seeing portals open?

So the question is,

is there some sort of

space-time engineering at the triangle?

Is that what the blob is?

Is it an entrance to

a traversable Lorentzian wormhole?

Everything you've seen in every science-fiction movie,

uh, where a portal opens up and they go through it

and they come out somewhere else.

Well, that's the idea of a wormhole.

The problem with that is,

our current understanding of building a wormhole

requires so much gravitational energy and manipulation

that it would rip the planet apart.

So it would have to be some technology

that we've yet to discover.

Yeah. Amazing.

Well, I opened this whole conversation up by saying,

"strange is the new normal," and boy, it's happening.

And when we come back, I want to focus

on the experiments you've done

that might indicate you're dealing

with possible intelligence here on the ranch.

♪ ♪

Is there really

an intelligent entity

on Skinwalker Ranch

just waiting to be revealed?

Guys, it sounds unbelievable except for the amount of data

and the finds that you're getting in the triangle area.

Well, certainly in the sciences,

we look for explanations

that have what we call a unifying appeal.

You know, we've got so many different things happening here.

How do we bring all of these different phenomena together

under one umbrella?

And one very appealing answer to this

does, in fact, involve

potentially a someone and not just a something.

-Yeah. -THOMAS: I think that if you were

to insert the idea that there's an intelligence

behind it, you could find

the intelligence fingerprints on almost every experiment

and exercise that we've done on the ranch.

BRYANT: I agree with that.

There's been too many things

that seem to be very specific

to the activity that we're doing

that makes it, in my opinion, seem less random.

(chuckles)

More like it's very targeted or, what's the word I'm looking for?

ERIK: Intentional.

-Intentional. -Yeah, yeah, that's the word.

-There you go. There you go. -A very targeted

or intentional manipulation of what we're doing.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: Rocket is hot.

In five, four, three, two, one.

How did it go over there?

BRYANT: I don't know.

There's hardly any wind.

I want to talk about an experiment you did

with drones in the triangle and in the east field, and...

(laughs) I think it's fair to say you didn't get

the results you were thinking you were gonna get.

We had 600 down at the triangle, 400 down in the East Canyon.

You know, we had conversations about what might happen

with the drone experiment of such a large scale.

You know, we're talking about a thousand drones total here.

Some of us were thinking, "Goodness,

"you know, we've seen drones fall out of the sky.

What if hundreds of them were to plummet?"

And, in fact, that's what we saw.

THOMAS: Whoa! (bleep)

Heads up! Heads up! They're coming down!

Oh, (bleep)!

PRESTON: Everybody get back behind the vehicles.

-Look at that one. -Look at that one.

-That one just fell right out of the sky. -BRYANT: Oh, my God.

-Look at 'em. -TRAVIS: Oh, they're hitting hard, too.

-BRYANT: Oh, (bleep). -TRAVIS: Heads up! Heads up!

Keep going, keep moving. There's more coming down.

We got 'em coming right down on the top of the tents.

-Yeah, yeah, they're gonna hit the tents. -Oh!

(bleep)

(drones buzzing)

PRESTON: Everybody stay back!

I think, jokingly, that afternoon,

Erik and Thomas were like, "Well, you know,

"if the ranch really wants to show us something,

"they'll make all those drones fall out of the sky

or something."

But we were not expecting the results that we got.

We had one drone specifically that came down...

-Here, let me get... -(drones buzzing)

...under the tent.

And where the hell's that one going?

And the interesting thing about this drone was

it was the drone carrying

Erik's real-time GPS tracker.

So out of the 600 drones that had taken off,

it was that drone specifically that came under the tent

-and came after us. -Why that one, Erik?

Yeah, I'm still trying to get my head around that.

And when we started going through and reviewing the data,

there was so much more than we ever thought was even possible

-to be caught that night. -(exhales sharply)

I'm gonna play through this.

What did we just see?

Something jumped out of the mesa and jumped back in.

-Where it went like this? -TRAVIS: Yes. -What did we just see?

I don't know. How about I dive in on it?

It came out of the mesa. What in the hell are we seeing?

What?

What in the crap is going on here?

Honestly, that has to be right up there

in the top couple of strangest,

most interesting

and at the same time frightening experiences I've had

on this property since day one.

It absolutely was bonkers.

I mean, of all the contingencies

you could plan on, drone attack... (laughs)

I don't think was on your list.

-That was not on our radar. -No.

Unbelievable.

I do want to continue talking about

not just what you found above the triangle

but what you found below it.

Will the team find the answers

to the triangle on Skinwalker Ranch

from high above or from below?

Guys, maybe the data directs you there.

Is that, is that a fair statement?

You know, we are led by the data,

and I have to say it's not an either-or proposition.

It is above and below.

And below, yes.

ERIK: The results that we've seen,

especially below the triangle,

for example, in the Lunasonde data

where we seem to have some kind of density

or conductivity change beneath the ground

and continuing up over the mesa,

showed that we have what would be considered an anomaly,

-a magnetic anomaly. -Yeah.

JEREMIAH (on video call): This is a 2D rendering

of what we saw underground.

It's actually stretching into the mesa itself.

-Okay. -Wow.

It's some sort of tunnel with a...

high metallic content.

Amazingly also, this is another example

on Skinwalker Ranch where perhaps the data is--

I won't say proving 'cause that's too much--

but certainly not disproving the lore

that comes here of something underground.

It certainly matches up with it a lot, right?

And here's the thing-- we drilled down

in the ground to see if there's a tunnel there

like Lunasonde told us their data suggests.

But we've also been told, when you dig, things may happen.

Bad things.

We had the drill operator that became ill.

Erik, yourself, you...

you experienced one of these physical effects.

I'm getting, like, a really bad metallic...

-Taste? -Taste. Are you?

Or just me?

Really weird.

-Do you feel all right? -I feel fine.

It's just, like, very metallic-y.

MASON: Well, you know what they say--

it's a curse to break ground out here.

BRADY: Yeah.

Shut it down, shut it down.

Come on, we're going.

Hey, guys. Somebody.

-BRYANT: What's going on? -KALEB: Yeah.

THOMAS: We-we have a safety issue we need to address right now.

-Is something happening? -What's going on?

I don't know, Thomas is just on his way...

Well, um, he... look, he's-he's feeling fine.

I feel perfectly fine.

But he's had, for the last little while,

he's had a really strong metallic taste in his mouth.

-ERIK: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. -I think that...

-That is a very strong sign of something going on. -Yeah.

ERIK: And have you been right over there

-right next to the rig or on it? -Yeah, I've been running it.

I think we should quit talking about it

and get him off the ranch.

BRYANT: I agree, I agree, I agree.

I'm starting to taste metal. I'm not kidding.

-What? -I'm not kidding you.

-You're tasting metal now, too? -Yeah.

I'm not kidding you. I'm-I'm-I'm tasting it.

All right. Then you need to, you now have to leave.

-Come on. -All right, let's get out of here.

It's fascinating to me

that we have several instances

of digging out there in the triangle

that correspond with bad things.

This year, we've definitely had more physical reactions,

uh, in a short amount of time with many different individuals

-than we've ever had before. -It's true.

It really truly is almost too much to take it all in

and to try to make sense of it.

It makes me think, although I'm scared to ask...

(laughs) what might be next for the triangle?

TRAVIS: We can't believe the things that happened this year.

It's amazing.

-Wow. -But I got to tell you, uh,

it's a scratching of the surface.

That's a good way to put it.

Well, we can't wait to see what that is,

and I wish you continued success.

Thank you again.

-Thank you. -TRAVIS: Yeah.

Will the triangle reveal the ultimate answers

to the secret of Skinwalker Ranch?

Only time will tell.

We can't wait to watch this team try to find those answers.

Thank you for watching,

and as always, have a great night.
