BRANDON: We have had another incident

that shows military surveillance

-over our property. -Really?

ERIK: We know there's something going on up there

over the triangle.

We're gonna launch a lot of rockets.

Wait, Thomas, look. Right-right there.

I want you to watch what happens over the landscape itself.

-TRAVIS: Oh! Right there. -CAMERON: Oh, my gosh!

Did it come out of the mesa?

Yeah.

♪

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.

BRYANT: The guests are here.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

-Hey, Senator. -How are you?

-Welcome to Skinwalker Ranch. -Thank you.

Thank you for coming out for this briefing.

TRAVIS: It's well-known that Skinwalker Ranch

has been on the federal government's radar

-for at least 30 years now. -Welcome, Senator.

-Hi. Mike Lee. -TRAVIS: So after all

the stunning phenomena we've experienced this year

during our investigation, when Brandon Fugal alerted us

that he was bringing Senator Mike Lee of Utah

out to meet with us,

we were really eager

to share information with him and get his thoughts in return.

Well, gentlemen, it's good to be with you again.

Senator Lee,

-thank you for joining us. -Thank you.

It's very nice to meet all of you.

Thanks for having me out here.

One of the things that comes up in Washington

when members of the Senate

discuss things that are observed, uh,

in the sky that they can't explain is

we need to know what's there.

If there's something that's moving that can be observed

and we don't know what it is

and if we know that it's not ours,

that could be a national security issue.

Absolutely.

Over the last four years,

we've seen numerous UAPs.

Some have been orbs of light,

while others looked and maneuvered

like possible nuts-and-bolts craft.

But one of the strangest things was a blob-like anomaly

about 31 feet in the air above the triangle

that destroyed a rocket.

And it may also be related to GPS and time-shift anomalies

that we've detected up to 10,000 feet above the ranch.

MIKE: So, there anything you want to tell me about

that you've observed?

We've measured an electromagnetic anomaly

with various instruments above this spot on the ranch

that we call "the triangle."

And, in fact, we've even had

something appear over the spot at 31 feet above ground level.

Very often anomalous things happening with our equipment,

our surveillance assets and all our--

all the things we measure with.

Well, and that seem to correlate

-with unidentified aerial phenomena. -Oh, yeah.

THOMAS: And we've caught things on our camera before

that's been brought to our attention by the locals.

And some of the neighbors here

have-have seen the same things that we have seen.

MIKE: There any possibility

that some of the UAPs that you've observed on-site

could be surveillance operations?

Somebody curious?

Well...

Well, we know we're being monitored.

-That's right. -MIKE: If it's equipment owned

by foreign government,

that-that's of concern.

TRAVIS: Earlier this year...

...when we first encountered the anomaly

31 feet above the triangle...

Helicopter! Helicopter!

Helicopter coming right over!

...a Blackhawk military helicopter

suddenly circled above the ranch for several minutes.

And then, just a week ago,

two Chinook military helicopters

also appeared to be surveilling the ranch.

BRYANT: Well, it's not like they're trying to be sneaky

in any way, shape or form.

TRAVIS: Now, maybe they were looking for evidence

that foreign adversaries are linked

to at least some of the phenomena that happens

on Skinwalker Ranch.

But given that many of the UAPs we've seen

have traveled much faster

and maneuvered in more advanced ways

than known U.S. technology

and even vanished in some cases,

as a scientist, I have a hard time believing that.

So if this is our foreign adversaries,

then they have leapfrogged physics by 50 to 100 years

and haven't told the rest of the world.

One thing we noticed in the recent months

is GPS is completely spoofed out here.

ERIK: That is the most interesting aspect of it.

Disparities between where we know things are

and where they think they are.

TRAVIS: What's really interesting is,

a lot of times when we do have these GPS anomalies,

we are detecting a strange signal at 1.6 gigahertz

that has no known source or purpose.

Right. Sometimes you hear about GPS signals being jammed

near military installations.

BRANDON: So, something or someone

has the technology,

the capability to meddle with our systems.

MIKE: Have any working theories

-on what it could be? -TRAVIS: We have

no data that tells us who could have done this.

Hey, look! UAP right there!

MIKE: Things that have been observed here

have been observed elsewhere

and might involve technology that we're not familiar with.

If there are things moving in U.S. airspace

that, uh, we can't,

uh, fully explain,

if there's technology that isn't ours,

that, you know, could have some potential military applications.

These are things we need to know about.

Thanks for letting me visit.

I have appreciated hearing your stories.

Please keep in touch with me. And...

if you come across anything that, uh, you'd like me to see

or share with my colleagues, uh, please reach out.

BRYANT: That'd be great.

We appreciate your time. We know it's precious.

-So we better get going. -Great.

Thank you.

BRANDON: Well, gentlemen,

keep your eyes on the skies.

TRAVIS: We've got a lot to do.

(indistinct chatter)

-BRYANT: You ready for this? -KALEB: I am ready.

Well, just follow us in, we're just gonna go all the way down

-to the triangle, all right? -Perfect. Will do.

TRAVIS: After our meeting with Senator Lee and Brandon,

they needed to head back to Salt Lake City.

But the rest of us welcomed an army of familiar experts

back to the ranch in order to help us

with our most ambitious experiment ever at the triangle.

The weather is about to turn really harsh

in the Uinta Basin,

so this is our last opportunity of the year

to finally figure out just who or what

can explain the UAPs, the blob

and all the other strange phenomena

we've detected at this spot.

Hey, Dragon.

So, Thomas and, uh, Erik and I have been, uh, mapping out this

out here based on the lidar picture...

-Oh, yeah. -...from OmniTeq.

-So, this is the shadow part? -So, this is the shadow part--

-Or the outside? -This is the shadow part.

TRAVIS: Two weeks ago...

...representatives from a company called OmniTeq

conducted a lidar scan above the triangle

while we fired rockets up through the anomalous zone.

-BRYANT: We got a good chute. -Oh, good chute.

-ERIK: Look at that. -That's interesting.

TRAVIS: We were stunned when that detected

a perfectly circular phenomenon with a black void

right in the center of the triangle.

For years, we've heard legends that interdimensional portals--

or traversable wormholes--

actually exist on Skinwalker Ranch.

It's a claim that's been made not only by

the Indigenous tribal elders,

but also, former ranch investigators

who worked with the federal government.

I'm excited to see how it correlates

-with what we do tonight. -Oh, me, too.

So l-let's get them all out and let's see what they got

and let's figure out where we're going to put them.

So, tonight we're gonna try

to stimulate phenomena above the triangle

all through the anomalous zone

by having the team from LOC Precision

launch multiple rounds of rockets

with ever-increasing power levels...

Hey, fellas. How are y'all doing?

...while deploying a number

of other cutting-edge technologies

that we've used in the past.

The hope is that combining them all

into one big experiment will help us determine

once and for all if this incredible legend is true.

Well, I want to welcome everybody back out.

We're at a familiar site.

As all of you gentlemen know, this has become an epicenter

of study, as well as of anomalous readings and results.

Historically, I don't think anyone's been out here

to the triangle where they haven't seen

some kind of really pathological,

really strange things happening with their equipment.

So, I'm so grateful to have all of you guys out here

at the same time, bringing your tech and your personnel.

We've got a lot of work to do,

we got a lot of things to set up.

So, you guys start getting your stuff out

and let's figure out where you got to be

and let's get to moving.

For tonight's experiment,

the teams will be situated all around the triangle.

The guys from Nu-Salt Laser will have three Space Cannons

positioned at each corner of the triangle

projecting high-powered beams

that will encompass the anomalous zone.

And they will reach all the way into outer space,

so if anything strange moves through there,

disrupting or bending the lasers,

we should be able to see it.

And as a secondary way to detect anything strange,

they will be scanning with two rastering lasers

all through that zone as well.

So, if we stimulate phenomena here,

hopefully, these two laser technologies

may be able to detect and confirm

the actual shape and exact location of any anomalies.

But that's just the beginning of what we're doing tonight.

We're also going to scan

the nearby mesa with a projection laser.

-KALEB: You're good. -TRAVIS: It will be broadcasting

audio that we recorded

during a recent sound ritual experiment

with an Indigenous organization named Blazing Bear.

And now look at this.

TRAVIS: There-- Whoa, whoa.

-Whoa, whoa. -BRYANT: There it is.

Go back. Go back.

TRAVIS: A sound experiment

that captured thermal images of two UAPs

flying into the surface of the mesa.

What is that?

Finally, the team from Sky Elements has returned

to fly 250 illuminated drones equipped with GPS sensors

in preprogrammed formations

about 300 feet above the triangle.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa! -CAMERON: Whoa, whoa!

Yeah, we got a downdraft right there.

TRAVIS: It was at that exact height

where, earlier this year,

Brandon's helicopter got pushed around...

Holy cow.

...just as we detected something strange

with the lidar scanner.

We've got a clear anomaly right beside us.

Dude, that is awesome.

So, tonight, if anything alters the drone swarm's formation

or flight patterns, hopefully,

it will further help us pinpoint and identify

what the phenomena we've detected there

-actually could be. -All right.

The temperature is about to start dropping, so I'm gonna put

-on some bigger clothes. -And there's not a lot of daylight here,

so, uh, I say we get on it.

TRAVIS: And all through the night,

Erik will be monitoring for strange energy spikes

and the 1.6 gigahertz signal

with his spectrum analyzer and radiation detectors,

while recording the entire experiment

with a FLIR thermal imaging camera.

We've never had this much technology

operating at once on the ranch.

So, hopefully tonight,

we'll cut through the legends about this place,

and finally reveal the truth

of what's really happening out here.

All right, well, I got to get to setting stuff up,

and you guys, if you need anything, yell at me.

All right, let's go wait for the sun to go down.

Guys, we are rolling.

ERIK: Travis, I'm set up over here.

So, how are you doing over there?

TRAVIS: Uh, everything's set up here.

Tim, I say we go ahead and bring the lasers up.

-TIM: Lasers up. -Lasers are up.

TRAVIS: We're conducting the most extensive experiment ever

on Skinwalker Ranch.

To try to pinpoint and identify the anomaly at the triangle,

LOC Precision is going to launch

the first six rockets simultaneously

while Sky Elements will fly a swarm of 250 drones.

In the past, just a single rocket

has gotten strange things to happen at the triangle.

So, let's see what six might do.

Everyone, be advised. Uh, clear the launchpad.

We are about to launch.

Clear the area!

PRESTON: Drones are armed.

Oh, hold up.

System just crashed.

TYLER: Malfunction, guys. Malfunction.

Hey, uh, Tyler,

what's our ETA on the first drone swarm?

Hey, Travis, we had a really strange thing

going on over here.

We're having an interference issue right now.

We're not really sure what's doing it.

We're having trouble getting all the drones to connect.

Copy that. I understand.

That is really odd.

We're gonna go ahead and, uh,

do our first six rocket launches.

Let us know when you're ready.

Will do. Let's get this up and down.

All right, we are going hot with the rockets.

ALLEN: We got all six hot.

TRAVIS: Here we go, in five,

four, three,

two, one.

How-- Where are the others? (stammers)

What's going on?

THOMAS: Well, that was weird.

Weren't they supposed to go off simultaneously?

-So, what happened with that? -That's a good question.

-You tell me. -And the rockets didn't go

at the same time, but they're all hooked to the same wire.

Same wire.

That doesn't make any sense.

Did you notice, none of the rockets went straight up.

Wh-- Yeah, I did notice that.

Every-- All five of them...

-They all got pulled out. -...went-went different ways.

ERIK: So, have the winds aloft changed?

TRAVIS: Uh, there,

there's-- I-I don't think there's any wind.

ALLEN: You still got one on the pad.

All right, everybody stay clear of the pad.

There's still one hot rocket on the pad.

Everyone clear.

-ALLEN: I'm gonna go check it. -TRAVIS: Yep.

-DAVE: You got it off? -TRAVIS: Yep.

TRAVIS: We weren't sure

what was going on, but just before we launched the drones,

they all inexplicably malfunctioned,

and then, immediately after that,

the rockets malfunctioned as well.

Our rockets were on one circuit,

meaning they should have launched together,

but instead, only five took off

and they all launched at random intervals

in really odd directions.

Hey, Tyler, uh, h-how's your progress?

TYLER (over walkie): Yeah we're having some network issues.

Drones just seem to be falling off and not connecting,

and the methods we usually use to resolve those issues

don't seem to be working.

KALEB: This is the exact same thing

-they had happen last time. -TRAVIS: Yeah.

-Isn't that something? -They tested all these drones

before they brought them out here and said that

-they were, like, their best ones and that... -Yeah.

...they brought out all their best stuff.

ERIK: I think it's too early for us to declare

that there is an assignable cause here

for the drone malfunctions and this rocket failure.

However, when we have events like this,

the attention of our entire team

is more intently focused on what is going on,

why are we experiencing these equipment and other failures?

-TRAVIS: What happened? -Six is great, the continuity is fine.

There's no reason it shouldn't fly. Everything says go.

Well, see if it'll launch now.

Yeah.

Everyone be advised, we're gonna try to launch

rocket number six that failed.

Here we go. Be ready.

Clear the launchpad.

-You ready? -Yeah.

TRAVIS: In five,

four, three,

two, one.

THOMAS: That was, like, going south.

That's crazy.

I d-- I don't understand that.

THOMAS: There's no wind out here.

Why is it just going off that way?

I know. Every one of them did.

It looks like there's something pushing it out of the way,

right at the 31-foot level.

It was not only weird that the rockets

were veering off course,

but it looked like they were all redirected

at about 31 feet high where we first saw the blob.

It just told me we needed to launch our next round

of more powerful rockets to see if they would make it

through that zone or be deflected, too.

Let's see where these guys are,

and, uh, maybe, uh, they're ready to go, and-and...

Why don't you guys go load the next six rockets?

-Yeah. -So we'll be-- just be ready.

Hey, Tyler, how close are you guys?

TYLER: How we looking network-wise? Are we ready?

-No. -The drones are not staying

locked on, so we are having to recycle the whole network.

ERIK: Oh, God.

TRAVIS: All right. Un-Understand.

You guys just keep working.

Let us know when you're ready.

TYLER: Will do.

So, we're gonna have to take it down.

Hey, guys, unplug all drones, unplug all drones.

Every-- all hands on deck.

PRESTON: The issues that we had after setting up

the first 250 were network connectivity issues.

So instead of 250 drones connected at a time,

it would be 230 drones or 206 drones.

It just was a struggle to get them all connected at once.

All right, Preston, reboot the network.

PRESTON We've done hundreds of shows

across different venues and different countries,

and it's definitely something that's just happening here

at Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: All right. So, uh, let's just get ready

-to do the rocket launch. -Okay.

-Want them here? -Yeah, just, uh, ground it here.

Just keep the metal off the metal.

Yeah, put it on the bottom side.

BRYANT: Given the high-tech nature

of all of this equipment, I'm really anxious

to see what it shows.

But as crazy as it sounds, the ranch just keeps

throwing roadblocks in front of us.

We've had so many experiments thwarted

by little things that we had no idea were even possible.

And so, I just hope it lets us get some answers.

Great, golden.

ERIK: Okay, I've got eyes on the FLIR.

All right, everybody be advised,

we are about to launch the next set of rockets.

Here we go in five,

four, three,

two, one.

Only two or three of them went.

Three rockets went. What happened to the other two?

They're still sitting there.

Oh.

Watch out.

Wow, watch-- There we go!

BRYANT: And that one

-should have gone straight. -Yeah, that should have

been straight as an arrow.

But at 30 feet up,

that thing took a major detour.

TRAVIS: Anything in the FLIR?

ERIK: Oh, wow.

Uh, yeah.

-TRAVIS: You did see something in the FLIR? -Yeah, moving up here

from the center up towards

the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

Oh, what is that?

ERIK: A thermal signature shows up in the sky

and is visible in the real-time data streaming in

from the thermographic FLIR camera.

So, there's the rocket coming down with the chute.

TRAVIS: It's gone.

What-- It's weird, it shouldn't have been

apart from the rocket, they'd have been flying off

-on a ballistic trajectory. -Right.

Uh, we need to go back and look at the footage

because I think when we get more eyes on this,

they're gonna be impressed.

This is an experiment that can really only be interpreted

after having pored over

all the data that we are recording.

There are some things that we're going to witness in real time,

but there are other things that we will only detect on review.

That's often where my work begins.

TYLER: Travis, we have all drones showing on-line.

Copy that.

Guys, we are rolling.

TRAVIS: All right, drones are going, the drones are going.

Oh, fantastic.

TRAVIS: Here we go.

The drones have clicked on, they're about to go up.

Drones armed, stay clear of the grid.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one.

TRAVIS: Wow, look at that.

They're going up in, uh, two layers.

ERIK: That's just spectacular.

We got one that's hung out over here.

ERIK: Look at that.

I don't know.

He's locking in.

BRYANT: Look at that one.

KALEB: Oh, right there.

Oh, one of them's going nuts.

It almost ran into the other one.

The drone swarm launched up through the anomalous zone

in two groupings

almost perfectly to the 300-foot level,

except for one that just started flying erratically.

One that's really moving, Preston.

TRAVIS: So, did it run into the same thing

we encountered with Brandon's helicopter earlier this year?

We may have just confirmed the location of another anomaly

above the triangle.

TYLER: He's going, he's going, he's going, he's going.

-Erik, are you seeing this? -I-- yeah, I'm seeing it.

TRAVIS: Look at it moving. That's crazy.

TRAVIS: Erik, are you seeing this?

ERIK: Yeah, I'm seeing it.

TRAVIS: One's fallen out.

The drone swarm may have just helped to pinpoint

another anomaly about 300 feet above the triangle.

Almost all 250 drones ascended perfectly

in two stages above 31 feet,

but then, one suddenly flew away from the group

like something was pushing it around.

TYLER: Drones should be moving into a new position

right now, into four stacks.

Four stacks. Okay, that's what's happening in there.

ERIK: Okay, so, they're just coming into position.

TRAVIS: That's a lot of drones, man.

BRYANT: That is a lot of drones.

TRAVIS: As the drone swarm continued their preprogrammed flight,

they shifted into the shape of a massive cube

to cover more volume within the anomalous zone.

TYLER: Preston, I've got one coming down.

All the way down.

ERIK: Travis, how many have fallen

-out of position? -TRAVIS: Well, one so far,

and one is on its way down, so we got...

-That'll be two total. -ERIK: Okay.

TRAVIS: Look at that.

Now a third one's fallen out.

A fourth one.

PRESTON: Hey, guys, stay out

of the grid and out from under the show,

uh, just in case there's a collision or two.

-DAVE: Whoa. There's another one. -TRAVIS: This-this line

-right here is crooked. -DAVE: Right over here.

Hey, they're-- they keep falling out.

-That was in the same spot. -TRAVIS: Yeah.

-Right ov... -So that means they're...

TRAVIS: Look at that one.

DAVE: What's with the blue fellers?

Oh, okay.

TRAVIS: Oh, they hit! Those two hit.

ERIK: Yeah, that was a collision.

TRAVIS: Yeah, well that one's falling out of the sky.

-That one is. -BRYANT: Looks like they're done.

They said it was five and a half minutes.

-TRAVIS: Copy that. It was amazing. -BRYANT: Absolutely.

TRAVIS: Once the drones started changing colors and colliding,

it was clear that they needed to land

so they could be assessed for damage.

The hope was we could send them up again.

But what caused these devices--

that we're told never malfunction like this--

to go so haywire?

It made me want to immediately launch our next round

of even more powerful rockets

to see if we could get something to appear

and give us an answer.

All right, rocket guys,

go reload the launch rails.

TYLER: We're clear.

TRAVIS: Great job, guys. Great job.

Can't wait to, uh, see the next set.

Sounds good. We'll get it turned around and ready to roll again.

Hey, Erik, you copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Hey, man, uh,

we're gonna do another, uh,

series of rocket launches if, uh...

while you guys are getting ready.

Yeah, we're, uh, we're fine with that.

Uh, what's your ETA for

when you'll be ready for the next set of drones?

We'll call it 15 minutes if everything goes well.

15 minutes if everything goes to plan.

Understood, thank you.

So, be advised, we are gonna go ahead

with the next set of rockets.

Hey, team, they're about to roll the next set of rockets as well.

TRAVIS: It was also time

to start beaming the projection lasers

with the audio file at the mesa.

Erik, you want to play the, uh, audio file through the laser?

Yeah, I've got it queued up. One moment.

TRAVIS: Three weeks ago,

we were stunned when Blazing Bear

performed a drumming ritual that was designed

to stimulate portal phenomena

and actually led to a thermal anomaly

appearing on top of the mesa,

followed by two UAPs that flew into the mesa's surface.

So, in addition to the tools we're already using,

Nu-Salt is going to operate a projection scanner

that will broadcast a recording of the Blazing Bear song ritual

through a modulated laser beam

up, down and across the mesa near the triangle to see

if we can provoke any more unusual anomalies to appear.

So, we're gonna again do the green raster

on the mesa, but, uh, at the same time,

we're gonna modulate it with the sound

from the Native American drum circle ceremony.

Then you guys hit the go on the rockets.

ALLEN: Yep, we got all six hot.

All right, so let's go ahead and bring the lasers up.

Okay.

TIM: We got the rasters up.

So, Erik, are you ready to play that?

ERIK: All right, you got it.

I'm rolling.

All right, here we go, let's see if we hear it.

(ritual song playing)

(buzzing)

(humming)

TRAVIS: What is that sound?

Where is that coming from?

That's-that's not coming from here.

-That's not it. -That-- Are you playing it again? Is it stopped?

-I am playing. -I'll go out there and listen.

Okay.

-(ritual song playing) -(humming)

Nah, that ain't it.

TRAVIS: Just as the laser started

broadcasting the song ritual,

we could suddenly hear a different,

mysterious signal interfering with it.

But where was it coming from?

-(ritual song playing) -(humming)

-It's in there, I hear it, but... -THOMAS: I can hear the drums.

It's-it's in there, but it's been overwhelmed by something.

KALEB: I can hear it.

-You hear it? -I can hear it.

It's playing, but it's being overwhelmed

with some other, some other frequency, I don't know

-where it's coming from. -ERIK: Yeah, there's some other modulation

-going on there. -Yeah, there's something, something else in it.

TRAVIS: All right, let's clear out, let's get ready.

TIM: Okay.

TRAVIS: Everybody, clear the launchpad,

clear the launchpad!

-All right, watch the FLIR, Kaleb. -KALEB: Yep.

Okay, here we go.

All right, everybody, be advised,

we are about to do a rocket launch.

DAVE: We are clear. Clear, clear.

TRAVIS: You ready?

All, right, this is gonna be a staggered launch

in five, four,

three, two,

one.

-Get it. -Wow.

Those crisscrossed right through the middle.

That one went way north.

KALEB: Hey, do we have an airplane up north?

I'm looking, I don't see it.

'Cause I got something in the FLIR right here.

-What? Something in the FLIR? -Right here.

Yeah, there is something in the FLIR.

KALEB: The moment we launched it, popped up right in here.

TRAVIS: We have an object in the FLIR.

I-It's, uh, a hot object in the sky,

probably 100 feet over the mesa.

Yeah, there is something in the FLIR.

We have an object in the FLIR.

I-It's, uh, a hot object in the sky,

probably 100 feet over the mesa.

It's hovering and moving slowly to the north,

maybe northwest.

Now, that is so cool, right there.

This was amazing.

Just after another set of rockets that we launched

mysteriously veered off course above the triangle...

That's crazy.

...a strange heat anomaly

showed up in our FLIR thermal camera

that we had pointed at the mesa.

Where'd he go? Where did it go?

And right above where we were broadcasting

a sacred Indigenous drumming song

that many believe can stimulate portal phenomena.

Travis, do you still have eyes on that object?

No, uh, it moved outside

of the field of view of the FLIR camera, Erik,

and it literally appeared in the middle of the screen

over the launchpad

when we launched the first two rockets

and then it moved, uh, off of the, uh, field of view.

Copy that. Well, I know you got a time stamp,

so we'll definitely look at that on review.

-Copy that. -KALEB: The moment we launched,

both those rockets came straight up

and it appeared right here in the middle of the screen

-and got brighter. -TRAVIS: It literally appeared

-in the middle of the screen. -Yep.

KALEB: And this is in the same area

that we saw the UAP during the previous experiment.

-Yeah, it's what it looks like. -Yep.

Things are really getting crazy out here on Skinwalker Ranch.

It came right out of the mesa.

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

-Well, what the hell was it? -TRAVIS: Just last week,

during an aerial experiment over the triangle,

a camera mounted on Brandon's helicopter

captured a UAP disappearing into the mesa

near the east field and then exiting it

a few seconds later right at the triangle.

Does it look like it comes from right there?

TRAVIS: It came out of the mesa right there.

-BRYANT: And travels across. -BRANDON: Wow.

This is stunning.

TRAVIS: Is it possible

that what we just saw appear above the mesa

is connected to that event?

And if so, what was it?

We don't know yet, but we might be close to an answer.

Well, we had an object that-- going across there.

-That was not an airplane. Not in the FLIR. -KALEB: No.

This guy is coming in hot right here.

Oh, that's a rocket coming down.

That is so cool, right there.

Look how the wind grabbed it.

Look how the wind grabbed it right here.

Here comes the second one.

That one's gonna land in the triangle.

KALEB: So, get some more rockets up,

see if it comes back.

Yep. All right, so, uh, did all our rockets go?

-I didn't count them. -ALLEN: No, we had one

-that didn't fly, but it-it... -So, we got one hot on the pad?

-Yeah. -Why don't you guys go load the next rockets?

Yeah.

All right. Let's do it.

Hey, Tyler, uh, how's the drones?

TYLER: Hey, Travis.

We are rebooting our systems now.

They're coming back on-line.

I should have a status update for you here

in the next five minutes.

Copy.

DAVE: All right.

TRAVIS: If this thing was stimulated by the rockets

-and the song ritual... -That looks good.

...then all I could think was, "Let's keep poking the nest

"with everything we've got, and see if we can solve

the mystery of this place tonight."

So, uh, let's-let's go ahead and bring the lasers up,

and then we'll, uh, get the sound going.

-Okay. -Hey, Tyler?

Are you guys ready to go?

TYLER: Everything's looking good on our end, Travis.

We're just slowly working them down here.

TRAVIS: Copy that. I understand.

PRESTON: So, during the first show,

we had four drones return to home because of the batteries.

They hit that low-battery threshold,

which is something that's never happened anywhere else.

-Looks good. -So, I hope

that during the second flight, we see if there's any anomalies

that are repeatedly occurring here at the ranch.

All drones clicked on, all drones clicked on.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

The drones are ready. The drones are clicked on.

-They're about to go up. -ERIK: Oh, fantastic.

-So, leave the lasers up. -Okay.

As soon as drones clear out of the airspace,

we'll launch the rockets.

The rocket's ready to go, right?

-Yeah, we're-we're armed and ready. -All right.

-I'm rolling. -TRAVIS: We are playing the drums

through the laser.

Uh, everything's ready.

Drones are armed.

TRAVIS: All right, here we go.

TYLER: Liftoff.

TRAVIS: There they go. There they go.

All right, drones are going, the drones are going.

Wow, look at that.

I'm gonna lay down on the ground and watch them this time.

I got dizzy last time

looking straight up, and then I was kind of getting vertigo.

It made me, like, dizzy.

DAVE: Look at that. They're all lined up now.

TRAVIS: Oh, they are perfectly

organized right now.

We got holes, though.

One, two, three, four, five holes.

-DAVE: Whoa. -TYLER: What the hell happened?

TYLER: Should have been two that didn't go, only two.

There's way more than that.

Oh, we're gonna have a lot of fail-safes.

TRAVIS: Look at the lines, look at the lines.

Right there, how-how they're breaking up.

-THOMAS: Oh. There they go. -Yeah.

Battery levels are not looking great, team.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

TRAVIS: I think they are coming down.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: Holy cow! Look at that.

TRAVIS: Holy cow! Look at that.

-Whoa. -TYLER: Battery levels are not looking great, team.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

We got one that's kind of, look like it's gonna fail on us.

Two, we got two.

TYLER: Got another one.

Hey, team, we may have a lot of these coming down.

Everybody, keep your heads up.

TRAVIS: Keep your heads up.

Drones are coming down.

DAVE: Oh, losing another.

Third down-- four down.

-TRAVIS: Uh, yeah, maybe. Maybe. -Five? Six.

THOMAS: Oh, they're coming down.

TRAVIS: I think they are coming down.

I think it's six of them.

DAVE: I think we got seven now.

Seven. Yeah, seven.

KALEB: Hey, there's some more

coming down after that one.

TYLER: Splitting into that cube again here, guys.

TYLER: Gonna have a lot of these returning to home.

Preston, can you give me a count

-on fail-safes there? -PRESTON: Yep.

PRESTON: So during the second flight,

we immediately had ten batteries

that entered the fail-safe condition and returned to home.

THOMAS: Boy, there's a lot of them coming down.

TRAVIS: A lot of them coming down.

PRESTON: Having batteries return to home

almost immediately upon takeoff,

that is just something t-totally crazy, totally unexpected.

And it just seemed to be isolated here to the ranch.

-It's just raining drones. -Right?

TRAVIS: Hey, Tyler, why are the ones coming down?

Are the batteries failing?

The batteries are failing, yes.

TRAVIS: Once again, something in the skies

above the triangle area is causing the drone batteries

to drain extremely fast.

Some of them even lost all battery life

at the moment of liftoff.

TYLER: There goes another one.

The battery levels should have been fine.

PRESTON: Yeah, the lowest was like, 85 to 88%.

So far, ten drones are returning to home.

Everything else looks good.

So, ten of them had batteries fail already.

Okay.

TYLER: Pattern looks really stable.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

This is pretty epic, looking at it from this perspective.

-A-And the, and the colors. -ERIK: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Wow, look at that.

Everything looks perfect right now.

THOMAS: Yeah, I mean, they look like

they're holding tight pretty good.

All right, the rotation's starting now.

THOMAS: Oh, that is cool.

TRAVIS: Yeah, that is cool.

Anything on the FLIR over there? Has anybody looked?

No objects in the FLIR this time.

Yeah, no. I don't see any...

I don't see anything coming through the space.

TRAVIS: Thankfully, most of the drones

stayed in the air above the triangle

and began performing their preprogrammed light show.

So, we forged ahead with the experiment

to see what might appear in the FLIR camera--

or right before our eyes-- to hopefully give us some answers.

TYLER: Drones should be clear enough to send those rockets

-if you want to. -Launch the rockets, Allen!

Yeah, I think the drones are coming down.

All right, I'm getting up.

DAVE: The sky is clear, range is clear, Allen.

All right.

-We ready, ready? -DAVE: Ready, ready.

All right, pads are armed.

TRAVIS: Pads are armed.

KALEB: Hey, hey, we got something on the FLIR.

-We got something on the FLIR. -What do you got?

KALEB: It looked like a thin line

appear in this area right here.

ERIK: Yeah? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Time stamp.

TRAVIS: Five, four,

three, two,

one, liftoff.

-Holy... -133. 133.

When one of the rockets went right there,

it went from a line into many bright lights.

ERIK: Wow.

I think there may be three or four of them.

Yeah, they were spread out, and then they come together.

ERIK: Oh, wow.

KALEB: I'm blown away by what we're catching with these cameras.

Multiple objects were flying

in very close formation together,

and moving in ways that didn't seem natural.

This is probably one of the most exciting,

biggest things I've seen on Skinwalker Ranch.

-ERIK: Hey, Travis? -TRAVIS: Yeah?

ERIK: I want to get your eyes on this.

TRAVIS: What-What's going on?

So, we had a...

it looked like a thin line

appear in this area right here,

and it was coming across the screen.

And the moment they launched the rockets,

you could see all of them come up

and that turned into, like, a group of three lights,

three or four of them from a single line.

ERIK: You know, I could be convinced that we're looking at

something formation-flying.

Really?

ERIK: I mean, it was actually quite interesting.

You know, I could be convinced

that we're looking at something formation-flying.

-Seriously? -Yeah, you know-- so what...

what Kaleb pointed out to me

originally looked like a line...

-Mm-hmm. Yeah. -...but then after the launch,

there were distinct points I could be convinced

it's either three or four separate things,

then coalesced back into a single thing and continued.

And so, I definitely want to review that.

KALEB: When it came over to the side over here,

it-- all four of those lines elongated out

into a single line.

TRAVIS: The UAP that split into multiple UAPs

and then maneuvered in a patterned formation,

was incredible, and may be one of the biggest developments

we've documented out here.

It really made us all anxious

to keep going with the experiment

and see what might happen or show up in the sky next.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, look what we got here.

What do we got here?

-ERIK: Uh-huh. -We got something.

ERIK: You know, that's moving at a rate that is...

That's real. I'm looking for that.

-I'm going out looking for that. -Yeah, that...

-That doesn't look like an aircraft. -We got something

moving through the FLIR right now...

-Yep. -...and it ain't an aircraft.

TRAVIS: It's a fairly clear night.

If there's something there, you'd think we'd see it.

-TRAVIS: Was that warmer or colder? -What's that?

-What you saw on the FLIR. -Oh, well, it was wh--

Erik, is white hot or red hot?

-White: hot. -So, then,

-it was hotter than everything else. -Okay.

Hey, I don't see it now.

-I don't see anything. -I don't see it.

And so, it must not be visible to the naked eye.

For a UAP to emit a lot of heat,

it really made me wonder why we couldn't see it

with the naked eye.

Was it, and the ones Erik and Kaleb just saw,

being masked or cloaked by something?

Or could they have possibly vanished

into the anomalous zone above the triangle?

-You guys are about ready here? -DAVE: Yep.

Quick two-minute operation here.

You got it. All right.

To find out,

the LOC Precision team prepped

the most powerful rocket we've ever had on the ranch.

The big one's hot if you want it.

All right, we're gonna launch the big rocket.

DAVE: There's some data that points to an anomaly

right there from the 30-foot mark,

all the way up to about 10,000 feet as far as we can figure.

So the big rocket was, uh, something we concocted

to push a few boundaries out here.

We're expecting to hit about 10,000 feet

and Mach 1.5.

All right, everybody, be advised

that we're about to launch the big rocket

in just a couple of seconds.

DAVE: So, we're really hopeful that this rocket

will just get the job done

in hopefully finding, um,

whatever's up above the triangle.

Well, are we ready to go?

-Ready when y'all are. -All right, we got all the lasers

working again, we're good to go.

All right, the launchpad's clear?

DAVE: Sky's clear, range is clear.

You ready, Dragon? We're gonna do it?

-BOTH: Yep. -Here we go,

in five,

four, three, two,

one.

ALLEN: Get it.

Oh, my goodness!

-Holy cow! -KALEB: Whoa.

TRAVIS: Wow, it went

one and a half times the speed of sound.

That thing was moving fast.

THOMAS: Oh, shoot.

I don't know where... I'm not seeing anything.

-Is anybody seeing the rocket? -I'm looking.

TRAVIS: Where, you-- uh, anybody got the rocket?

TYLER: Does anyone see the rocket?

ALLEN: Hey, where's that night vision?

Yeah, night vision, night vision!

Thomas, you should be able to see it in the night vision.

BRYANT: Are you seeing anything?

ALLEN: Watch the FLIR.

ERIK: Yeah, I'm not seeing anything on the FLIR.

KALEB: Yeah, FLIR is clear.

TRAVIS: Did anybody ever see the chute pop?

DAVE: I didn't see a single...

-ounce of it, no. -I didn't hear any pop.

I didn't hear a pop, I didn't see anything.

THOMAS: I'm not seeing it in the night vision, either.

BRYANT: Neither am I.

THOMAS: It's gone.
