-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.
