Original subtitles

AARON: It's hitting something really hard.

What could be hard enough to be pushing back on that?

There is something in the mesa right there.

Whatever this is is as tall as the mesa.

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

-KALEB: Looks like a deer. -Look at this.

What the heck would have burned this post?

You've got the five lines converging

to a point down by the tree behind the homestead,

and then the mesa is right there where that GPR anomaly is.

ERIK: We need to see what's underneath the entire ranch.

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.

JOE: I think we're just about past that second rock.

(whirring)

JOE (over radio): Hey, Thomas.

THOMAS: Yeah, go ahead.

JOE: I'm about 20 feet in with the drill,

but it's gonna take a lot more time

-to reach the anomaly. -Copy that.

TRAVIS: For two weeks now, our drill operator Joe Loeb

has been trying to reach the 120-foot-tall,

possibly metallic anomaly

that we detected about 40 feet below the top of the mesa.

And since it's right next to the massive

dome-shaped anomaly

that a much larger drill rig couldn't penetrate,

we're hoping that Joe can help us determine

just what's inside there.

Keep it running. We'll check in with you a little bit later.

-JOE: Sounds good. -TRAVIS: While Joe Loeb continued

the drilling operation on top of the mesa...

BRYANT: Your guests are here, Erik.

TRAVIS: ...Erik Bard and the other guys from the team

were meeting with physicist Jeremiah Pate

and his colleagues from Lunasonde.

ERIK: Well, Jeremiah, it's been

a long time in the making.

Yeah, great to finally be here in person.

TRAVIS: With all the anomalies

that we've detected inside the mesa,

under Homestead Two,

and in the air above the triangle,

Erik hoped that the specialized aerial technology

that Jeremiah invented could scan those areas

and reveal some answers above and below ground

about all the UAPs,

the energy spikes, and the other phenomena

that we keep experiencing here on Skinwalker Ranch.

So, tell me how this is gonna work.

It's a very versatile technology,

but essentially it's a low-frequency radar.

Today we'll be flying it on a weather balloon

that's actually gonna take it up to about twice as high

as a jetliner, over 70,000 feet

-above the ranch... -THOMAS: Wow.

...and actually let us see, potentially, kilometers

beneath the surface.

THOMAS: Did you say

-kilometers under the earth? -Absolutely.

(laughs): That's crazy.

-That's a long ways down. -Yeah.

JEREMIAH: All of our sensors are attached

to a large meteorological balloon.

This takes it up to its final altitude

of around 70,000 feet.

Our technology works by using low-frequency radio waves

to actually see deeper into the planet

than anyone ever has before.

Ultimately, what we'll see

is actually what's known as a tomographic image.

This is a true 3D map of the subsurface.

THOMAS: This is incredible.

You know, for years, decades, there's been rumors

on this property of underground bases, tunnel systems.

Maybe we can put some of these, uh, rumors to bed

or-or maybe validate 'em. Uh, who knows?

Exactly. We want to peel back just a little bit

of the mystery today.

THOMAS: I think the triangle

will be a good dry, flat area that we can stage from.

Plus, uh, you know, this is an area

that's been of great interest to us.

-Yeah, definitely. -BRYANT: At the triangle,

it seems as though there is something in the air

at varying heights that we can't see with our eyes

but seems to show up on equipment.

So, I know that you're looking to see what's underground here.

Would it be able to pick something up, say,

in the air as well?

Definitely. So, the way these sensors work

is they measure both the far field and the near field.

We'll actually be able to measure

the air column directly above the triangle as we ascend.

Well, there's our reason for putting it in the triangle.

Absolutely. We've...

we've had some strange things happen in that particular area.

This area above the triangle has high strangeness to it.

We've seen rockets try to go through this area and explode.

ALLEN (over radio): Three,

two, one.

Oh, uh-oh. That motor blew.

TRAVIS: It exploded. Oh, no.

BRYANT: There is something in the air

above the triangle on Skinwalker Ranch

that's causing all sorts of strangeness to happen.

TRAVIS: Oh, we got a malfunction.

Everybody, watch out.

BRYANT: But why?

We're trying to find answers to what's going on here.

If you want to follow me out,

I'll lead you out to the area where we can

-get you set up. -Sounds great.

ERIK: I have high expectations about

what we may be able to detect with this Lunasonde technology.

Well, antenna one is the B field antenna,

which is that guy there.

ERIK: I'm hoping that we'll be able to see

if, in fact, we have any interesting structures

beneath Skinwalker Ranch.

Or even metal deposits in the mesa.

And perhaps an answer to the anomaly

just above the triangle.

I really don't know what to expect.

CLAYTON: Okay, balloons ready for the fill.

Beginning fill.

(air hissing)

So each of these payloads you see here,

they each have a very particular function.

-ERIK: Okay. -So, up here we have

a couple payloads that are involved

in the actual tracking of the overall balloon setup.

Uh, down here, this is another setup.

So, this, actually, is a, uh, camera setup

as well as some other tracking equipment.

-Wow. -Each payload

has a specified function,

and so our actual experimental sensors,

each of them measures a different part

of the electromagnetic field.

We have several cameras on board

that actually will record the flight.

Wow, look at that.

Are we getting close to launch?

Yep. Balloon's almost ready to go.

Perfect. I need to get back to the control room.

I want to keep our assets trained on, on your payloads.

Absolutely.

ERIK: As we near launch,

I'm heading back to the command center

so I can train some of our surveillance cameras

on the sky and watch that balloon as it ascends,

and observe whether there is any strange interference

on the way up.

CLAYTON: Okay, we're releasing the balloon.

-Very careful. -BRYANT: Hey, Erik?

Just giving you a heads-up,

we've started to deploy the balloon

and slowly letting up all the payloads.

Copy you. I can see it ascending.

BRYANT: Fantastic.

CLAYTON: Okay, I think we're good.

Go for launch.

KANDUS: And off it goes.

That is a heck of a payload.

Wow.

CLAYTON: Now those payloads are recording,

and we'll start the tracking effort.

TRAVIS: The Lunasonde team will remotely control the balloon

as it ascends to about 70,000 feet high

and scans the skies and the grounds

of the entire ranch,

with a specific focus on the triangle,

the mesa and Homestead Two.

Fantastic.

TRAVIS: Once the survey is complete,

Jeremiah will remotely deflate the balloon

and retrieve it along with his devices.

It could take days or even weeks to get

the aerial and underground data fully processed,

but hopefully this will get us the best data yet

of not only what could be causing anomalies

above the ranch but also underground

and in the mesa as well.

I'm impressed.

-(laughs) -Hopefully the data

that comes back is as impressive as

getting that thing in the air.

-KALEB: Hey, Bryant. Hey, guys. -Hey, man.

TRAVIS: While Lunasonde conducted

the aerial survey of the entire ranch...

This is a really good friend of mine Kori Reed.

-BRYANT: Hey, Kori. I'm Bryant. -How you doing?

...Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde

met outside the command center with Dragon

along with Kaleb Bench and his colleague,

local deputy sheriff Kori Reed.

I worked with Kori through law enforcement,

and he actually investigated some things

over here on the west side of the ranch.

And this happened, wha--

-how long ago did this happen? -This was in the early 2000s

-when this happened. -BRYANT: Okay.

KORI: I was with the tribal fish and game at the time.

Tribal. Okay.

It's on the neighbor's property,

but you can see it from your property.

BRYANT: Okay, so it's on the west-side tribal property,

-but we can see it through the fence from our side. -Correct.

TRAVIS: Kori also happens to be a member

of the Indigenous Ute nation.

So, given their well-known aversion

to speaking about Skinwalker Ranch

or even coming near the place, we were really eager

to hear what he investigated and found in this area

as an officer of the law.

Yeah, well, let's get out there.

All right, yeah, we'll follow you down.

KORI: I worked for the tribe as a conservation officer

for 13 years, and that's when I had the experiences out here

around the west side of Skinwalker Ranch.

KALEB: This looking familiar to you, Kori?

KORI: Yep.

That's the spot right there.

BRYANT: Okay.

KORI: Uh, owner of the property reported

they had two horses that were dead.

They were dead for about a couple days.

-Okay. -And they were in this spot by the post.

Were they mature horses?

KORI: They were.

One horse was kind of right in the center of all three posts.

The other one was on the southeast corner.

They were cleaned out from the inside.

There was no tissue,

no organs or nothing like that on them.

-Crazy. -BRYANT: Hmm.

It's interesting.

KORI: And there was just some strange footprints

in the ground that were around it.

TOM: What kind of footprints?

KORI: We found some

that had three toes on 'em.

KALEB: And they were big?

They were about six inches.

BRYANT: Whatever it is,

nothing that we know of that can make prints like that.

Right.

KANDUS: That's creepy.

Describe these three-toed footprints.

Are we talking, like, wide toes, are we talking, like,

-bird-looking tracks? -They were probably about

the size of my hand right there, just putting it down.

But they were all equal-size toes.

KALEB: So, there was like,

three digits off of one foot?

-Off of one foot. -And they were, and they were big?

They were about six inches.

Wow.

TRAVIS: Bizarre animal mutilations

have been reported on Skinwalker Ranch for decades.

We've seen cows mysteriously die out here ourselves.

What in the world?

And just in the last couple weeks,

we've found two mutilated deer carcasses

in the south field next to a strangely burned fence post.

What the heck would have burned this post?

TRAVIS: And that was also where we recently documented two UAPs

during nighttime experiments,

and then another one in broad daylight.

-What? -I don't know what to think about

the strange footprints that Deputy Sheriff Reed reported,

but given what other investigators

and our own team have seen out here,

we need to keep investigating everywhere,

from the mesa to the south field,

in order to find out the truth of what's causing

all these phenomena to happen.

We're both shaking our heads when we left

'cause we didn't know what happened.

KALEB: Do you have photos or the report

-or anything like that? -So...

I did the report, printed off all the pictures,

um, went back a few months later,

I could not find my report or the pictures.

BRYANT: Someone didn't want

anyone to know about this.

-Could be. -Hmm.

KALEB: I've heard stories like that, where someone has pictures

or they have an experience like that

and they get video or something,

and they talk to someone, um, above them

and they're told to get rid of it.

I've heard the exact same thing.

BRYANT: I could tell it was uncomfortable

for Kori to tell these stories, but we really appreciate

these individuals coming forward with these

what seem like outlandish tales,

but I can tell he believes it and he experienced it.

We appreciate so much your willingness to come out

and talk about this different kind of stuff.

'Cause I know it's not comfortable

-and it's not easy, so thank you. -KORI: It's not,

-so, yeah. -Thank you a lot.

-Appreciate it very much. -You're welcome.

-Thanks for having me. -Cool.

TRAVIS: How's it going, guys?

-That is a lot of equipment. -He's ready to roll.

He's got some really cool stuff here.

TRAVIS: A couple of nights later,

while we were waiting for the data results

from the Lunasonde ranch survey,

we invited technologist David Mason

and local fire management officer Don Mitchell back out

to help us with a pretty ambitious experiment

we wanted to conduct

between the triangle and the south field.

Because we've documented so many phenomena this year,

between the triangle,

where we saw the blob-like anomaly,

Homestead Two, where we uncovered lines

of strange materials

similar to what we've found in the mesa,

and the south field, where we've seen numerous UAPs

and found mutilated deer carcasses,

we're hoping we can stimulate more strange things to appear

but this time identify just what they are.

DAVID: So, what I've done

is I brought eight, uh, thermal-imaging cameras

and, uh, two of them are high-resolution.

So, if anything anomalous appears,

just a-a slight temperature change,

we'll be able to see it, uh, much more clearly

than just we-- using conventional, uh,

-thermal camera technology. -THOMAS: That is cool.

That is real cool. Awesome.

So, if it's got a thermal signature, we're gonna get it.

Well, we've got the truck loaded up,

the rockets are ready to go.

We're gonna head out to the triangle

and get ready for the first launch.

And, uh, we'll give you a call when we get out there.

-Okay. Sounds good. -All right, guys.

Good luck, good hunting.

Kaleb and I have converted a truck

into a mobile rocket and mortar launcher.

We're gonna fire off payloads reaching

more than 100 feet in the air, starting at the triangle.

Meanwhile, David Mason, Erik and the guys

will observe everything using eight thermal cameras.

They'll be able to detect anything

that might suddenly change in temperature

and that we can't see with the naked eye.

Depending on what happens after our launches at the triangle,

we'll move to the south field and repeat the experiment there.

KALEB: It fits on there pretty good.

TRAVIS: Oh, it's ratchet-strapped in,

it ain't going nowhere.

Since we're still waiting

for the aerial and underground data results

from Lunasonde's balloon experiment,

we're really hoping that tonight we can get

the blob, more UAPs, or who knows what to appear

and help us identify what these phenomena are

and why they keep occurring on Skinwalker Ranch.

All right.

This will be right dead center of the triangle,

right under where...

-Right where the big one blew up. -...the rocket blew up. Yeah.

Right where the big rocket blew up last year.

-(grunts) -(laughs) All right.

This is good to go here. All right.

-We're gonna do both launch and mortar? -KALEB: Yeah, why not?

So, I'll get on this side and launch it

if you get on that side and fire off the mortars.

-Yep. -That make sense?

Complete.

-TRAVIS: Erik, you copy? -Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Yeah, man, we're ready to, uh, launch a rocket,

and we're gonna fire mortars at the same time.

Okay, stand by. I'm gonna turn on

the 1.6 gigahertz sweep and I'll give you the word.

Over the years, we've encountered this signal

near 1.6 gigahertz.

I'm still trying to sort out how that signal

is related to the ranch phenomenon.

As if the rockets that we're going to be launching

are not stimulus enough,

we will be broadcasting a sweep of signals

around that 1.6 gigahertz range

that has drawn our interest in the past.

All right, Travis, we are broadcasting

the 1.6 gigahertz sweep.

We've got eyes in every direction

and at every available wavelength.

All right, then, we're good to go.

-BRYANT: You ready to go, Dave? -I'm ready to go.

Okay.

Go ahead and launch.

TRAVIS: Rocket is hot. Mortars are ready.

In five, four,

three, two, one.

Yeah, there go-- Oh, there go-- they're running into each other!

KALEB: Oh, that one just hit.

(Travis shouts)

TRAVIS: That rocket flew right into that mortar.

How did that happen?

Oh, wow.

KALEB: That's crazy. I-I don't know how to explain that.

TRAVIS: Oh, it's falling pretty fast.

That's not good.

Oh, wow.

Did you guys see that, too?

I got it on camera.

Yeah, Thomas had eyes on that.

TRAVIS: The mortar went off right about

that 31-foot mark.

It looked like the mortar went off

as the rocket was flying through it.

Right after we launched

a rocket and a mortar to stimulate the blob anomaly

31 feet above the triangle,

something clearly made the mortar explode prematurely

and the rocket break into pieces,

and it looked like it happened exactly

at that 31-foot level.

The odds of that happening are crazy.

We couldn't be sure what it was,

so I wanted to immediately launch a series of mortars

directly through that 31-foot zone

to see if they would hit something or make something

clearly appear for David's thermal cameras.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

Yeah. Go ahead.

We've got a, uh, incendiary

that we've got mounted on top of the launch tower

and we're gonna fire it,

and we're ready if you guys are.

Ready. Go ahead with the launch.

All right, here we go.

-That's about the right height. -KALEB: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Yeah, that's got to be the right height.

DAVID: There's something right there.

ERIK: Travis, we're examining a feature

in Dave's differential FLIR camera.

This remarkable differential thermal camera

forms an image,

we get a color that corresponds to the temperature.

If anything should come out as warmer,

it will become bright yellow or even white.

What we're seeing here in the thermal is an anomaly

that shows up warmer than the surrounding area.

This is very interesting to me.

Where's the feature?

This would be to the southwest of your position.

-Southwest of my position... -KALEB: So it'd be over the...

over that way.

We've been watching this thing evolve for a while,

but it just doesn't make a lot of sense to us.

TRAVIS: When Erik and Thomas said they could actually see

some kind of anomaly between

the south field and the triangle through David's thermal camera,

I immediately looked through a night vision scope

to see if I could spot it, too.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it right now. Keep looking.

Yeah. That's kind of an odd shape, too.

TRAVIS: Since I couldn't see through my night vision camera

what David's thermal camera was imaging,

I thought it might be something out of the ordinary.

Hey, Erik,

-do you guys copy? -ERIK: Yes, we do, Travis.

-Go ahead. -So, I think we're gonna drive down

to the southeast corner of the ranch

and launch this last rocket almost due north

toward the helicopter pad and see if we can bring it down

somewhere in the east field here.

Copy that.

We'll reposition cameras.

All right, talk in a bit.

I really wanted to know if we may have stimulated

another blob anomaly in the sky

between the triangle and the south field.

So we needed to head closer to that location

and conduct more launches to see if we could get it to reappear

and verify what it was.

-BRYANT: Whoa. -THOMAS: Huh?

BRYANT: What was that?

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

BRYANT: Yep, there it is. You got one.

THOMAS: Hey, Erik, what flight was that

-that just went over us? -Well, you know,

I don't have anything directly over us.

THOMAS: I can still see it. It's right there.

But it didn't have normal aviation lights.

-BRYANT: No, it didn't. -Okay.

ERIK: So, I do have a couple of aircraft off to the east.

THOMAS: I mean, it-it was over top of the ranch.

ERIK: Okay, well, I didn't have that.

Did you hear anything?

A little bit, but it was mostly silent.

As the plane is flying across the ranch,

it's very low and it's not blinking

like an aircraft usually does.

And it's not showing up on any of our ADS-B receivers.

It definitely makes it feel like we're being surveilled.

Hey, Travis?

Do you have eyes on an aircraft?

We had a plane go over top of us,

and it's not on the flight tracker.

TRAVIS: Uh, there is something.

ERIK: Travis, this aircraft

is not transponding.

TRAVIS: There's so many bugs,

I can't even tell what I'm looking at.

But it's something right there.

What made this mysterious plane incident even more eerie.

Oh, we got a malfunction. Everybody, watch out.

The last time something like that happened was when

the blob anomaly first appeared above the triangle

and the rocket exploded.

We have a helicopter

right over the triangle right now.

ERIK: I am getting no helicopter

above the ranch on the ADS-B receiver here.

TRAVIS: Then, later, we found out

through Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes

that it was actually a military Black Hawk helicopter.

It's yet another experiment

where we have aircraft in the air

that's not accounted for on the ADS-B.

It's starting to become a habit.

Hey, guys, we're in place, uh, down here.

We're about to shoot, uh, some mortars

just to kind of get an idea of the windage

on how to launch the rocket from here.

Copy that.

You ready?

-Dave, are you set? -DAVID: Yeah.

ERIK: Yes, we are ready.

All right, we're gonna light the mortars in five,

four, three,

two, one.

There you go.

Oh, yeah. Got it.

Do you see that right there?

-ERIK: Thomas? -THOMAS: Yeah.

I'd love to get your eyes on this.

This one here.

We have been tracking this light.

THOMAS: Travis.

Uh, we're trying to identify an object

down on the south side

above the trees.

Uh, we're not quite sure what we're looking at.

I think I'm picking it up on the differential, uh, FLIR.

-You're picking it up, too? -Yeah.

DAVID: That was where Erik was seeing something in his camera.

I want to see this.

So, Travis,

we're also picking up something on the thermal.

It was right, right here, and that's where you saw

the luminous object in-in one of your cameras,

that's where I po-- that's where I aimed it.

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

What could be down there?

Hey, Travis.

We're not quite sure what we're looking at.

TRAVIS: So, there's something somewhere.

I ain't seeing nothing. I don't know.

Right after Kaleb and I fired a mortar

from the southeast corner of Skinwalker Ranch...

There it is again.

TRAVIS: ...David Mason's thermal cameras picked up

something strange above the south field,

in the same area Erik started seeing a light

on his infrared surveillance camera.

And this is near the spot where we've recently seen

a number of UAPs and discovered the burnt post

and two mysterious deer carcasses.

This is where you were seeing that light source,

and I-I got it aimed.

THOMAS: This is a vehicle.

DAVID: This is Travis. These are the cows.

Now watch it again.

You'll see it just start to manifest

just in that spot.

And you can see it pulsing.

Just blinks in and out as cold.

And now it's hotter.

It's changing temperature.

It goes cold or warm, cold or warm.

ERIK: Yeah, but why is it varying?

Wow.

We have something

in the thermographic camera

in the same location we saw a light in the near infrared.

So, what are we seeing here? What's causing this to happen?

That's what makes this experiment

so interesting to me, personally.

TRAVIS: You see it?

KALEB: Yeah, I'm not seeing it.

TRAVIS: Hey, Tom, listen, do you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

TRAVIS: Well, so, we are trying to find the light,

but we're not seeing it right now.

Are you guys ready for us to launch a rocket?

Maybe we'll scare it out.

Yeah, go ahead.

TRAVIS: All right, let me lock it down.

None of us knew what to make of the thermal anomaly

that David's camera detected.

But we wondered if it was something

that we had stimulated with the mortar.

That just told me that we needed to launch another rocket

and see what would happen next.

All right, we're getting ready to launch this rocket.

Rocket is hot.

Five,

four, three,

two, one.

-Oh. -Oh.

DAVID: Got it.

TRAVIS: I see the rocket trail,

but I don't see the rock-- oh, there it is.

BRYANT: It's coming in hot.

-ERIK: Oh, I could hear that. -Oh, yeah.

ERIK: Gosh.

Uh, do we still have it? Are you seeing it?

It's faded out.

DAVID: I don't think it's there anymore.

Did it fade out after the launch?

ERIK: Yeah.

THOMAS: It disappeared.

ERIK: Where'd it go?

Hey, Travis, that object that we were looking at...

(insects chirping)

...it's completely gone.

That's just so weird.

I say we, uh, load up

and head back that way and see what they've got.

Sounds good to me.

TRAVIS: I think tonight was a success

because the experiment appears to have triggered phenomena

both at the 31-foot altitude above the triangle,

where we saw the blob-like anomaly earlier this year,

and over the south field,

where so many other strange things have recently happened.

Did you guys find whatever that was down there?

-No. -ERIK: We can't

-identify this thing. -TRAVIS: A-And so,

the thing that you're seeing in your instrument, David,

do you think it's either cold and getting hot...

-It's fluctuating. -Okay.

-Huh. -Don't know why.

We had several different things that, uh, were confusing to us.

One was the first rocket launch we did,

we believe that we heard the, uh, the chute deploy.

-We heard it. -But here's the thing.

It looked to me like the rocket,

right at about 30 feet above the launchpad,

hit the mortar shell.

That-That's, you know, the odds of us...

We couldn't aim and plan and do that.

That's like shooting a bullet with a bullet.

That's-- so shooting a bullet with a bullet.

But think about that.

What are the odds of that happening

right there at 31, 30-ish feet...

-Hmm. -...right where we've had this other phenomena happening

with other rockets in that same spot?

-THOMAS: That is weird. -It's so weird.

It's not what we were expecting to see,

-but, again, we see something... -It rarely is.

(chuckles) We see something unexpected

-but weird, right? -Right.

Well, let's clean up.

TRAVIS: Were these anomalies connected?

What were they? And where do they come from?

Since moments after they appeared,

they simply just vanished.

Hopefully, once we see the data recorded earlier this week

during the balloon radar scan, we'll start to get some answers.

BRYANT: Thanks for coming out

and for your amazing equipment.

-This has been fantastic. -Thank you.

ERIK: Hey, Jeremiah.

JEREMIAH: Hi, everyone. Great to talk to you all.

Hey, man, how you been?

Good, so we're really excited.

We've been working and-and number-crunching.

We haven't even finished processing the data

and we're seeing all these strange things in the data

that we can't readily explain.

TRAVIS: A few days after our incredible nighttime experiment

between the triangle and the south field,

we had a meeting with Jeremiah Pate from Lunasonde

about the balloon radar scan.

Although the underground data he and his team

collected earlier this week wasn't ready yet,

Jeremiah had already processed some of the data

that they collected in the air above the triangle and the mesa.

We're excited to see what you've got.

Yeah, absolutely. Share away.

So, the balloon launch itself was a textbook flight.

Uh, the actual flight was completely flawless.

Well, that's good news.

JEREMIAH: This gives you a sense

of how the balloon rose over time.

Uh, surprisingly, uh, this was an extremely smooth ascent,

so you would think nothing went wrong with this balloon, right?

Uh, everything looks completely perfect here.

We should have had a flawless data capture.

That brings me to my next point.

What you're looking at is actually the raw data output.

And if you look closely, you can see

there are these strange jumps in the data set.

TRAVIS: Looks like you have jumps in the magnetic field

while at the same time drops in the electric field.

They seem to almost correlate with each other.

Exactly.

It's-it's unbelievable. That's amazing.

BRYANT: Mm-hmm.

TRAVIS: Jeremiah's data truly defies physics.

We're seeing the magnetic field increased

while the electric field decreased.

That doesn't naturally happen.

Typically, we would see both fields rise and lower together

and the levels would be nearly identical.

But the data shows, as the balloon ascended,

it came in contact with an extreme level

of magnetic energy that we have no conventional explanation for.

This is something that Erik and I have also seen happen

during other experiments above the triangle.

CASEY: Ignition.

TRAVIS: Two years ago, we launched rockets

over the triangle and watched as the entire spectrum jumped.

That is unreal.

TRAVIS: Oh, my God, during the launch,

the electromagnetic spectrum is going crazy, guys.

I've never seen anything like it.

So, now that Lunasonde has also measured

this crazy magnetic and electromagnetic anomaly

above the triangle, what kind of phenomena could it be?

This is something that we really can't explain,

and our team has spent, uh, hours upon hours

looking over this data trying to come up

with an explanation for what's causing this.

So, somewhere in the near field, there were these very strong,

transient electromagnetic fields.

What altitude were you at when that happened?

The bulk of this data was captured below 10,000 feet

where we encountered these anomalies.

The data, um, evened out

and started to make more sense above that.

So this really puts in context the anomalies versus altitudes.

It gives you a sense of where we started

to encounter those anomalies.

But you describe it as suddenly calming down

a-aft-- beyond a certain altitude.

Um, what does that make you think?

Well, it makes me think there's a, a phenomena

that-that the instruments are passing through.

-There's boundary layers to the phenomena. -Right.

We wanted to know, if it went through the anomaly,

if it may pick something up.

Obviously, something messed with it.

We're looking at two of the most important plots

-we've seen since we began, guys. -Ever. Ever. Ever.

And this is right, uh,

you launched from the triangle, right?

-Yes, we did. -And so, you went from zero

up through 10,000 feet, and while you're doing that,

you're measuring huge increases in the magnetic field

and huge decreases in the electric field.

Exactly.

Wow.

TRAVIS: It was unbelievable.

Above the triangle, where we've seen

all kinds of strange things between 31 and 5,000 feet,

like a blob, energy spikes and UAPs,

Jeremiah's balloon scan is showing something

that may be even stranger at about 10,000 feet.

Are these separate anomalies or are they all part

of the same phenomena?

From a physics perspective,

we do not know how you would change

the entire electromagnetic spectrum at once

across every frequency.

We don't-- The only thing that would do that

would be something that affects everything.

All colors of light, all-all radio dial--

and the only thing that is, is gravity.

What could be there that we don't see with the naked eye

that, for some reason, we see in lidar, radar

and in the electromagnetic field?

That's not natural.

-No. -That's not a natural phenomenon.

Never heard of it, ever.

I mean, what the hell is up there?

TRAVIS: The preliminary data

that Jeremiah Pate and his team from Lunasonde collected

above Skinwalker Ranch is shocking.

They've detected something above the triangle

that raises the magnetic field

while lowering the electric field

of the environment almost simultaneously.

That can't be natural, and it could explain

all the GPS anomalies we've experienced there.

The questions now are: what is it,

how might it be connected to the strange

communication signals we've also detected,

and why do we keep seeing UAPs there?

THOMAS: I think it'd be interesting to correlate

the flight path that you do have,

i-if that could somehow be correlated

with the data that's showing up

-in this location. -Yeah, absolutely.

JEREMIAH: As you see here,

this is the approximate flight path

that the balloon took, and we were able to fly over

some of the really important features in the ranch,

including the triangle as well as the ranch itself,

so we were able to collect some very crucial data

-over these locations. -TRAVIS: Hey, hold it right there for a minute.

Thomas, correct me if I'm understanding

what I'm looking at, but is the...

the drill site not about right here?

-THOMAS: Yep. -Right here,

where the balloon crossed over,

where the GPR data tells us there's an anomaly in the mesa,

right as it's over that, look what happened.

The electric field jumped.

THOMAS: Right over where the metal's at.

Right over where we pulled the metal out of the mesa.

When it's right there,

boom, the electric field goes up.

-How about that? -ERIK: Wow.

-BRYANT: This is unbelievable. -Oh, wow.

Think about that.

ERIK: It's just the abruptness of these changes

that has just got me so floored.

-I mean... -And the changes are from, like,

you know, one to 10,000, not like one to four.

Sure enough, Jeremiah's data has now identified

gigantic magnetic anomalies above the mesa.

And this is right over the spot where we've been drilling

because we detected two possibly metallic objects

inside the mesa.

One of which we believe is shaped like a dome

and appears to contain materials similar to what NASA uses

on the surface of the space shuttle.

And the other is vertical and over 100 feet tall.

What are we dealing with here?

These are huge discontinuities, um,

and both the discontinuity and the scale of it

is very surprising.

At the same time, we did have

some clock anomalies of the triangle.

Uh, I've never seen anything

in any other data set that resembles this.

Can you quantify it for us? Because that might be important.

Yeah, so we lost a quarter second of time.

TRAVIS: Really?

That doesn't sound like much.

Oh, it does. For data like this, it's huge.

Yeah, if light travels, you know, a foot per nanosecond,

a quarter of a second, think how much could happen there.

Absolutely. It's a, it's an eternity for these electronics.

Yeah, and think what it would do to your GPS signals,

to all of your processing.

Uh, oh, my goodness, a quarter of a second is huge.

We've been trying to figure out how to measure

that time anomaly, and-and you now have actual data

telling us there's a quarter of a second

time anomaly over the triangle.

There's so-- it's like there's wrinkles

in space and time over the triangle.

Nobody's ever measured any anomaly like that on the planet.

Exactly.

THOMAS: Are we seeing evidence of a portal?

TRAVIS: Well, you know, this may be

the first time we've actually got evidence

of there being something above the triangle, the object,

whether it's a portal or some-- whatever else.

I don't know, but it's something.

To have these kinds of electromagnetic anomalies

coupled with a time shift of a quarter of a second

is astronomical.

Some scientists have suggested that these types of anomalies

could be telltale signs of a traversable wormhole,

or what some people might call a portal.

Could we have just discovered evidence

of what the Indigenous people of the area

have claimed for centuries,

that interdimensional portals exist

on Skinwalker Ranch?

-ERIK: What are you seeing? -A signal?

TRAVIS: Could that explain why Erik and I

have detected energy levels

that we don't know how human technology can produce?

"1.60000."

Travis, you-you got to see this.

TRAVIS: Or why we've seen UAPs ascend

from the direction of the mesa up toward the triangle

and then simply vanish into thin air?

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

A bend in space-time, or a wormhole,

would theoretically explain these things.

And now Jeremiah Pate has detected the best evidence

I know of in human history that this phenomena

could be a reality on Skinwalker Ranch.

There is no part of our investigation,

no part of the entire narrative that isn't touched by this.

Everything. The lidar, the radar,

the ground-penetrating radar, the, uh, helicopter...

-GPS, the... -The GPS.

-All of it. -TRAVIS: Every measurement

-we have taken this summer. -Yeah.

This is fascinating, Jeremiah, and I can't wait to see,

uh, the more processed data and-and when you guys finish up.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Yeah, the team and I are gonna continue to crunch the data

and see what we can find.

And then we'll be in touch really soon

with the results of our analysis.

All right.

Well, we'll follow up when you've got

the rest of that, uh, that data filtered and crunched

and, uh, maybe we'll have some imagery

of what's beneath the soil, right?

Exactly.

-Thank you. -Thanks, Jeremiah.

See you later, Jeremiah. Thanks a lot.

(clears throat)

TRAVIS: I think we've got more and more verification

that there's an optical and a temporal anomaly taking place,

-which may be one and the same... -Mm-hmm.

...over the ranch, and we need to continue with it.

-Well, all right, man. -Crazy.

-THOMAS: Thank you. -Fantastic experiment.

-Unbelievable. -Absolutely fantastic.

ERIK: A lot of our experiments done at altitude

have produced really strange results.

What could be generating the strange effects

that we repeatedly experience in the sky over the ranch?

I'd like the answer to that, above all else.

TRAVIS: Seeing this new data showing anomalies

throughout the skies above the ranch

really makes you wonder if all the stories about

portals here over the property could actually be true.

And moving forward in our investigation,

we're not gonna stop until we figure it out.

BRANDON: Strange phenomena seems to be at a fever pitch

at Skinwalker Ranch.

What are we going to find above the ranch

that will help us find the answers to,

really, the nature of the strange phenomena

that has plagued this area for decades, if not millennia?

And now, more than ever before, we are dedicated

and focused on getting to the bottom of the truth.

BURDETTE: There's something screaming across here.

-TRAVIS: Holy crap. -Look at this thing.

Guys, that's 3,600 miles per hour.

ERIK: I want to do focused

sound experiments.

The stone circle is lit up like a Christmas tree.

That is crazy.

JOHN (over radio): We keep seeing a figure

that keeps going back and forth.

Go, go, go, go, go.

-I'm going up on top. Yep. -THOMAS: Yep, in case there's somebody up there.

TRAVIS: All right, we're on our way.
