Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,802
- Whoa, what is that?
- Whoa.
2
00:00:05,625 --> 00:00:08,292
Whoa! It's
raining drones over here!
3
00:00:08,458 --> 00:00:10,333
We just had
catastrophic failure.
4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,167
That's got to be
the FPV right there.
5
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:14,333
- Yeah, that's got to be.
- Gone.
6
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,128
- It vanished behind something.
- Yeah.
7
00:00:16,208 --> 00:00:18,375
There's something there.
8
00:00:19,917 --> 00:00:21,750
We broke... somewhere.
9
00:00:21,917 --> 00:00:23,500
We got to figure out
where we broke now.
10
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:26,250
- We broke another rod?
- We broke a rod, yeah.
11
00:00:29,792 --> 00:00:32,500
There's something
blocking us in the mesa.
12
00:00:32,625 --> 00:00:36,542
There is
a ranch in Northern Utah.
13
00:00:36,708 --> 00:00:39,125
It is considered the epicenter
14
00:00:39,292 --> 00:00:43,750
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
15
00:00:43,958 --> 00:00:46,042
animal mutilations,
16
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:48,500
bizarre UFO sightings
17
00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:53,792
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
18
00:00:53,958 --> 00:00:56,167
For 20 years, the
federal government
19
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,500
tried to find
answers and failed.
20
00:00:59,625 --> 00:01:03,625
Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,
21
00:01:03,792 --> 00:01:07,500
researchers and
experts has taken over.
22
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:11,625
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal...
23
00:01:14,083 --> 00:01:17,500
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.
24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,083
- Did you get your fishing tool?
- Got it.
25
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:29,837
- Good deal.
- Got to put it on and everything.
26
00:01:29,917 --> 00:01:31,500
So, this
little tool right here
27
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:33,083
is what you're hoping
28
00:01:33,250 --> 00:01:35,167
to grab onto that
pipe and pull it back?
29
00:01:35,292 --> 00:01:37,167
Yeah, yeah, it's
got a cone shape
30
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:38,833
on the inside with threads.
31
00:01:38,958 --> 00:01:41,212
So, if we can hit the end of
that pipe and thread onto it,
32
00:01:41,292 --> 00:01:42,833
we'll be able to
pull it out enough
33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,212
to where we can
get everything apart
34
00:01:44,292 --> 00:01:46,208
and get the rods
put back together.
35
00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:48,167
Okay.
36
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:50,128
For more than
two months now, we've been
37
00:01:50,208 --> 00:01:52,958
struggling with an operation
on Skinwalker Ranch
38
00:01:53,125 --> 00:01:54,503
that should have been
pretty easy to complete.
39
00:01:54,583 --> 00:01:57,833
The goal is to
drill two boreholes
40
00:01:58,042 --> 00:01:59,667
up through the sandstone mesa
41
00:01:59,875 --> 00:02:02,500
where ground-penetrating
radar has detected a huge
42
00:02:02,708 --> 00:02:04,625
dome-shaped object
that is surrounded
43
00:02:04,792 --> 00:02:06,583
by several smaller anomalies.
44
00:02:06,708 --> 00:02:08,292
We need these boreholes
45
00:02:08,417 --> 00:02:11,000
so that we can insert different
scanning devices in them
46
00:02:11,125 --> 00:02:13,167
to study, and
hopefully identify,
47
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:16,375
what these strange
anomalies could actually be.
48
00:02:17,375 --> 00:02:19,833
But during this
operation, our team
49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,250
from Mark Construction Drilling
has experienced crazy setbacks
50
00:02:23,417 --> 00:02:26,500
just trying to get
the first hole drilled.
51
00:02:29,208 --> 00:02:30,667
It's not moving very well.
52
00:02:30,792 --> 00:02:33,542
Their equipment
has repeatedly failed
53
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:36,500
after making possible
contact with the anomalies.
54
00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:39,167
And just last week,
55
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:42,750
after finally reaching
more than 400 feet in...
56
00:02:42,875 --> 00:02:44,625
We broke... somewhere.
57
00:02:44,792 --> 00:02:47,500
Their drill rods
mysteriously came apart,
58
00:02:47,708 --> 00:02:50,000
and one of them broke.
59
00:02:50,167 --> 00:02:51,667
It's like whatever is in there
60
00:02:51,875 --> 00:02:54,083
is trying to stop us
from getting this done.
61
00:02:55,125 --> 00:02:59,667
So, today, Alex Swanson and
his team are using a fishing tool
62
00:02:59,833 --> 00:03:02,458
to extract the drilling
rods from inside the mesa.
63
00:03:02,667 --> 00:03:05,875
Hopefully, we can get at
least one of these holes drilled
64
00:03:06,042 --> 00:03:07,833
before the weather
gets too harsh
65
00:03:08,042 --> 00:03:11,417
and forces us to postpone our
investigation until next summer.
66
00:03:12,417 --> 00:03:14,375
Hold that right there, Jared.
67
00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:19,000
Okay, Jared, push into it.
68
00:03:19,125 --> 00:03:20,542
We're almost at the rod.
69
00:03:22,042 --> 00:03:23,750
If this doesn't work,
70
00:03:23,875 --> 00:03:26,333
I don't know how we're going
to be able get up in there.
71
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,628
I really can't get up in there
with the excavator without
72
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:31,500
risking a rockslide
coming down on top of me.
73
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,583
So, this is a really
tense moment for me.
74
00:03:38,125 --> 00:03:39,583
Hold that.
75
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,167
I think we're onto it, bud.
76
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:51,458
Okay, try and pull back.
77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,333
Keep going, keep pulling.
78
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:03,958
- We got her.
- You got her?
79
00:04:04,167 --> 00:04:05,917
We got her.
80
00:04:06,125 --> 00:04:08,167
- Wow.
- We got it!
81
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,417
Heck yeah!
82
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:13,958
We catch our first big
break of this entire job.
83
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:17,903
Although we've encountered
a lot of setbacks and obstacles,
84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,167
it looks like everything's
coming together.
85
00:04:21,333 --> 00:04:23,167
I actually believe now
we're going to be able
86
00:04:23,375 --> 00:04:25,708
to actually break through
the top of this mesa.
87
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,792
Fingers crossed,
this is the last time
88
00:04:28,917 --> 00:04:30,792
- that we have a problem.
- Yeah.
89
00:04:30,875 --> 00:04:32,795
We certainly don't want to
stop again. That's for sure.
90
00:04:32,875 --> 00:04:34,292
What do you got
91
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,295
- before you break through?
- We're thinking probably...
92
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:38,667
- About five rods.
- Five rods, we should be out.
93
00:04:38,792 --> 00:04:42,208
Okay. So another 75 feet,
and we should be out the top.
94
00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:43,625
- Yup.
- Cool.
95
00:04:43,792 --> 00:04:45,667
So, how long you
thinking it's gonna take you
96
00:04:45,875 --> 00:04:47,750
to push through
that last 75 feet then?
97
00:04:47,958 --> 00:04:49,958
Probably,
say, at least five hours.
98
00:04:50,167 --> 00:04:51,378
Give or take, if
not a little longer.
99
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:52,795
Well, I guess
we'll get to it?
100
00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:54,167
- Yup.
- Okay.
101
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:56,792
It's been quite the journey.
102
00:04:56,958 --> 00:04:59,000
While the
drilling operation continued
103
00:04:59,167 --> 00:05:00,583
at the mesa...
104
00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:04,375
later that afternoon...
105
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:06,083
- Hey, Cam.
- Hey.
106
00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:09,000
Cameron Fugal
arrived to help us conduct our last,
107
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:11,167
and most ambitious,
experiment of the year.
108
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:13,500
Well, the lidar trucks are
coming down the road.
109
00:05:14,542 --> 00:05:17,667
And we also welcomed a
whole team of lidar experts,
110
00:05:17,875 --> 00:05:19,708
including Pete Kelsey,
111
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:22,958
John Brown, Jim
Royston and Sam Deriso.
112
00:05:23,167 --> 00:05:25,607
Well, before we jump in
to what we're planning on doing,
113
00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,167
this looks like
some serious tech.
114
00:05:28,292 --> 00:05:29,833
It's pretty
serious technology
115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
when it comes to lidar.
116
00:05:31,208 --> 00:05:33,375
This one is specifically used
117
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:34,833
for long-distance collection.
118
00:05:35,042 --> 00:05:36,333
Okay.
119
00:05:36,417 --> 00:05:38,542
And it's incredibly accurate.
120
00:05:38,708 --> 00:05:39,920
I hear you have something
121
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,792
creative in mind for it.
122
00:05:41,958 --> 00:05:43,708
We've got a few creative
somethings in mind.
123
00:05:45,375 --> 00:05:47,333
Several weeks ago,
124
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:49,375
using a terrestrial
laser scanner,
125
00:05:49,542 --> 00:05:52,875
Pete Kelsey detected a
massive cone-shaped anomaly.
126
00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:56,292
It stretched more than a half
a mile from Homestead Two
127
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,542
over to the east field canyon
128
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:02,292
and had a 2,000-foot-high
apex directly above the triangle.
129
00:06:02,458 --> 00:06:04,000
Other than the mesa,
130
00:06:04,167 --> 00:06:06,167
these are the
three main hot spots
131
00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:07,878
where we've experienced
the most phenomena
132
00:06:07,958 --> 00:06:09,458
on Skinwalker Ranch...
133
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:12,667
We have several
objects moving in unison.
134
00:06:12,792 --> 00:06:15,667
Including UAPs...
135
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:16,875
What is that signal?
136
00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:19,125
Energy spikes
137
00:06:19,250 --> 00:06:21,000
and even possible evidence
138
00:06:21,167 --> 00:06:24,708
of something that resembles
a traversable wormhole.
139
00:06:24,875 --> 00:06:28,958
So, our hope is that tonight's
experiment will reveal more data
140
00:06:29,042 --> 00:06:32,583
on all the anomalies we've
seen in these different locations.
141
00:06:32,750 --> 00:06:36,500
Maybe it will help us determine
how they might all be connected.
142
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,208
Once the sun goes down,
we'll start the experiment
143
00:06:40,417 --> 00:06:42,500
by launching a
rocket in the east field
144
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:44,667
to see if we can
stimulate phenomena.
145
00:06:44,833 --> 00:06:46,292
From there,
146
00:06:46,417 --> 00:06:49,792
imaging expert John Brown
will drive his mobile lidar vehicle,
147
00:06:49,917 --> 00:06:52,542
while Cameron Fugal
shadows him in the helicopter.
148
00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:55,708
They'll move past the
east field, the triangle,
149
00:06:55,917 --> 00:06:59,500
the mesa drill site and
over to Homestead Two.
150
00:06:59,708 --> 00:07:01,750
John will be scanning
the entire area
151
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:03,833
between the ground
and the helicopter
152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,042
for signs of the cone or
any other strange things.
153
00:07:08,208 --> 00:07:11,792
We're going to
have that lidar truck platform
154
00:07:11,917 --> 00:07:13,583
running right
under the helicopter.
155
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:15,253
Cameron, you're going
to be following along.
156
00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:17,333
That's going to give
a target, basically.
157
00:07:17,542 --> 00:07:18,792
That's right.
158
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:21,208
Sam, you'll be
in the lidar truck
159
00:07:21,417 --> 00:07:23,167
with one of the
multi-sensor boxes
160
00:07:23,333 --> 00:07:25,625
- that is data logging.
- Okay.
161
00:07:25,792 --> 00:07:27,587
And Erik, were you going to
put a GPS tracker with him?
162
00:07:27,667 --> 00:07:30,167
- Yes, I am.
- Okay.
163
00:07:31,208 --> 00:07:33,500
Cameron will be
wearing night vision goggles,
164
00:07:33,625 --> 00:07:36,625
which may also enable
him to see aerial phenomena
165
00:07:36,792 --> 00:07:38,583
that's invisible
to the naked eye.
166
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,625
Once they reach Homestead Two,
167
00:07:40,792 --> 00:07:42,542
Thomas Winterton will
launch another rocket
168
00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:44,458
from the mesa drill site,
169
00:07:44,625 --> 00:07:46,542
and then, they'll repeat
the scanning process
170
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,833
back toward the east field.
171
00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:53,000
Jim, I want you flying
172
00:07:53,125 --> 00:07:54,625
the lidar path with your drone,
173
00:07:54,792 --> 00:07:56,875
- and fly the in-and-out path.
- Okay.
174
00:07:57,958 --> 00:08:00,500
To help us gather
even more aerial data,
175
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:02,958
Jim Royston will fly his
drone-based lidar device
176
00:08:03,125 --> 00:08:06,000
between the triangle
and the east field.
177
00:08:06,167 --> 00:08:09,542
This is where we've detected
mysterious voids in GPS data
178
00:08:09,667 --> 00:08:10,708
throughout the year.
179
00:08:10,875 --> 00:08:12,500
And it's also
180
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:15,375
where we captured
video back in 2022
181
00:08:15,542 --> 00:08:18,042
of a UAP entering,
then exiting the mesa
182
00:08:18,208 --> 00:08:20,583
before flying right
toward the triangle.
183
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,750
Kaleb, you'll be down
184
00:08:24,917 --> 00:08:27,083
at the east canyon
area with Dragon.
185
00:08:27,208 --> 00:08:30,333
Use the handheld lidar
scanner, and I want you
186
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:32,083
to paint that whole area, right?
187
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:33,795
Yeah, I'm going
to be everywhere with that.
188
00:08:33,875 --> 00:08:35,833
Thomas, if anything
happens with the drill,
189
00:08:36,042 --> 00:08:37,962
then I'm not that far away,
either. You can give me a call,
190
00:08:38,042 --> 00:08:39,125
and I'll come running.
191
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:41,667
Because we're still trying
192
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:43,170
to break through
the top of the mesa
193
00:08:43,250 --> 00:08:44,875
to complete our first borehole,
194
00:08:45,042 --> 00:08:47,042
the drillers are going to
keep on drilling tonight.
195
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:49,250
Maybe it'll cause
something strange to happen
196
00:08:49,417 --> 00:08:52,667
that we'll be able to detect,
and hopefully, identify.
197
00:08:52,792 --> 00:08:55,875
Then, after that experiment
is done, we're going
198
00:08:56,083 --> 00:08:58,208
to do an experiment
at the triangle.
199
00:08:58,375 --> 00:09:00,208
Yeah, let... let
me describe that.
200
00:09:00,375 --> 00:09:02,458
We're going to have the
burner from a hot-air balloon
201
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:04,250
heating up that space
202
00:09:04,417 --> 00:09:07,833
where we have detected something
at an altitude of about 30 feet.
203
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
And we'll be doing some
thermal and lidar imaging on that.
204
00:09:11,208 --> 00:09:12,408
It's a pretty interesting area
205
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:13,958
in terms of what
we've seen to date.
206
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,500
One of
the craziest things
207
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:18,500
that we've ever
encountered on the ranch
208
00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:20,083
was a blob-like anomaly
209
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:22,333
that may have actually
destroyed a rocket
210
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:25,833
31 feet high above
the triangle in 2022.
211
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,500
And since then,
Erik has determined
212
00:09:28,667 --> 00:09:31,792
that he captured video of
it from a second camera,
213
00:09:31,917 --> 00:09:33,958
confirming that it was
a real phenomenon
214
00:09:34,083 --> 00:09:36,542
and not some kind
of camera artifact.
215
00:09:36,708 --> 00:09:39,500
So, we'll be using a
hot-air balloon burner
216
00:09:39,667 --> 00:09:42,417
to blast flames into
that 31-foot region
217
00:09:42,542 --> 00:09:44,667
while we scan it
with lidar devices
218
00:09:44,875 --> 00:09:46,500
and record it with high-speed,
219
00:09:46,667 --> 00:09:49,792
night vision, thermal
and infrared cameras.
220
00:09:49,917 --> 00:09:52,000
And all during the experiment,
221
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:54,333
we'll be monitoring
numerous spectrum analyzers,
222
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:57,000
radiation detectors
and GPS devices
223
00:09:57,125 --> 00:10:00,167
to collect more data
than we ever have before.
224
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:03,292
This place has been
hiding its secrets from us
225
00:10:03,458 --> 00:10:05,333
for more than five years now.
226
00:10:05,542 --> 00:10:07,167
But tonight, we intend
227
00:10:07,375 --> 00:10:09,542
to finally reveal just
what they truly are.
228
00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:11,208
So, as serious
229
00:10:11,417 --> 00:10:13,000
as this is, this
is exciting, too.
230
00:10:13,125 --> 00:10:14,337
- It's very exciting.
- Yeah, very.
231
00:10:14,417 --> 00:10:15,697
And we have a lot of work to do.
232
00:10:15,792 --> 00:10:16,500
It's a super
science project tonight.
233
00:10:16,625 --> 00:10:17,667
We have a lot to do.
234
00:10:17,875 --> 00:10:19,333
Well, guys, I can see
235
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:20,587
our shadows are
getting awfully long.
236
00:10:20,667 --> 00:10:21,500
I think it's time
to get out there,
237
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:22,500
get set up and get ready to go.
238
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:24,417
Yup. Let's get to work.
239
00:10:24,542 --> 00:10:26,667
- We got to go.
- Okay.
240
00:10:33,042 --> 00:10:34,917
Okay, we're
going to get airborne.
241
00:10:37,583 --> 00:10:40,125
All right,
looks like Cameron's up.
242
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:42,875
Sam, do you copy?
243
00:10:43,958 --> 00:10:45,667
Yes, so we have just
244
00:10:45,833 --> 00:10:48,292
entered the gate. We are ready.
245
00:10:49,458 --> 00:10:50,750
Just after nightfall,
246
00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:52,833
Cameron Fugal lifted
off in the helicopter
247
00:10:53,042 --> 00:10:54,875
to get positioned 1,000 feet
248
00:10:55,042 --> 00:10:58,708
above John Brown's mobile
lidar truck at the eastern gate.
249
00:10:58,875 --> 00:11:01,583
It was time to start our
ranch-wide experiment.
250
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:04,042
Guys, be advised,
251
00:11:04,208 --> 00:11:05,875
we're over here
at the drill site.
252
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:08,708
The rig is running, and
we're monitoring the drilling.
253
00:11:08,875 --> 00:11:10,417
Copy that, Thomas.
254
00:11:10,583 --> 00:11:12,333
Erik, do you copy?
255
00:11:12,458 --> 00:11:14,833
Yeah, Travis. Go ahead.
256
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:17,333
Yeah, I say this is
about our one-minute warning.
257
00:11:17,542 --> 00:11:19,000
We're going to launch a rocket.
258
00:11:19,125 --> 00:11:21,042
Be prepared to
look in that direction.
259
00:11:21,167 --> 00:11:22,875
Copy you. Thanks for
the heads-up, Travis.
260
00:11:23,042 --> 00:11:24,958
All right, Dragon.
261
00:11:25,125 --> 00:11:27,667
Good to go whenever, as
long as Kaleb's scanning.
262
00:11:27,833 --> 00:11:28,953
We got our scans going here.
263
00:11:29,042 --> 00:11:31,458
Copy that. We are scanning.
264
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,333
The rocket is hot.
265
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,833
As the drilling
operation continued
266
00:11:35,958 --> 00:11:38,583
and our other team members
prepared to run handheld
267
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:40,708
and drone-based lidar scans
268
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:43,708
in the east field and
the triangle areas,
269
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:46,250
Dragon was ready to launch
a rocket from the east field
270
00:11:46,417 --> 00:11:49,000
so we could start our
first mobile lidar run
271
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:51,000
from the eastern
end of the ranch
272
00:11:51,167 --> 00:11:53,250
all the way over
to Homestead Two.
273
00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:55,208
Cameron, are you in place?
274
00:11:56,625 --> 00:11:57,917
We're going to go
275
00:11:58,083 --> 00:12:01,750
in five, four...
276
00:12:01,917 --> 00:12:05,333
- Three, two.
- Three, two.
277
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,083
One.
278
00:12:09,958 --> 00:12:11,375
There it goes. Rocket's up.
279
00:12:11,542 --> 00:12:13,208
We had a good launch,
280
00:12:13,417 --> 00:12:16,292
good chute, and you can
send them on their way.
281
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:17,958
Tell him let's go, we're good.
282
00:12:27,208 --> 00:12:28,917
All right,
here they come.
283
00:12:29,125 --> 00:12:31,625
Right after Dragon
launched his rocket,
284
00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:34,542
John Brown began
driving his lidar truck
285
00:12:34,708 --> 00:12:37,000
from east to west
across the ranch
286
00:12:37,208 --> 00:12:39,500
while Cameron was
positioned right above him,
287
00:12:39,667 --> 00:12:42,167
flying at an altitude
of 1,000 feet.
288
00:12:42,333 --> 00:12:45,458
Keep the lidar going
and go all the way down,
289
00:12:45,625 --> 00:12:47,667
to past the drill rig,
290
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:50,667
past Homestead Two
and turn around in that field.
291
00:12:50,875 --> 00:12:53,083
Hey, Erik, do you copy?
292
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:54,917
Are you watching
the lidar truck?
293
00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:56,792
Copy you,
I've got eyes on that.
294
00:12:56,875 --> 00:12:58,833
This is a very ambitious
295
00:12:58,958 --> 00:13:02,125
and complicated operation
that we are conducting, so
296
00:13:02,333 --> 00:13:03,833
we don't know
exactly what to expect,
297
00:13:04,042 --> 00:13:06,333
but we are very interested
in what we might see.
298
00:13:06,458 --> 00:13:09,000
That's the
lidar truck right there.
299
00:13:09,208 --> 00:13:11,088
They're about to come
around the corner up here.
300
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:13,542
And I am both excited
301
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:14,988
and perhaps a
little apprehensive
302
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:17,167
about how the
experiment will play out.
303
00:13:17,375 --> 00:13:19,000
But I'm confident
that there will be
304
00:13:19,167 --> 00:13:20,958
meaningful
scientific deliverables.
305
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:24,417
Well, that lidar
truck's at the triangle.
306
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,333
All right, Jim!
307
00:13:30,542 --> 00:13:32,500
Drone going up, Pete.
308
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:36,167
After the
chopper and lidar truck
309
00:13:36,333 --> 00:13:39,708
passed the triangle, which
was the halfway point in their run,
310
00:13:39,875 --> 00:13:42,625
I had Jim Royston
begin flying his lidar drone
311
00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:45,042
from the triangle
toward the east field.
312
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:47,833
I'm going northeast.
313
00:13:48,042 --> 00:13:50,958
That's where
he previously experienced
314
00:13:51,167 --> 00:13:52,875
mysterious voids
in his GPS data,
315
00:13:53,042 --> 00:13:55,875
as though his drone
momentarily disappeared.
316
00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:59,042
And of course,
it's also the path
317
00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:02,000
where a UAP passed
through the mesa
318
00:14:02,167 --> 00:14:05,917
and flew directly toward
the triangle back in 2022.
319
00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:10,333
Tom, this is Sam,
confirm we are clear
320
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,042
to pass by the drill?
321
00:14:12,208 --> 00:14:14,000
The road is clear,
322
00:14:14,083 --> 00:14:17,000
you are good to go
by the drill site, over.
323
00:14:17,167 --> 00:14:18,958
10-4. Thank you.
324
00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:28,417
This is Thomas. The
lidar truck just passed the drill site.
325
00:14:28,583 --> 00:14:29,875
We're prepping the rocket,
326
00:14:30,042 --> 00:14:32,583
it'll be ready to go
here in a minute.
327
00:14:32,708 --> 00:14:34,833
After about 15 minutes,
328
00:14:35,042 --> 00:14:37,375
John and Cameron
passed the mesa drill site
329
00:14:37,542 --> 00:14:41,250
and arrived at Homestead
Two to complete their first run.
330
00:14:41,417 --> 00:14:44,500
We didn't see or detect
anything unusual in the moment
331
00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:46,167
during that first scan.
332
00:14:46,333 --> 00:14:49,083
This is Homestead
Two on your left,
333
00:14:49,208 --> 00:14:51,333
the carriage
house on your right.
334
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:54,750
Be advised, the lidar truck
has passed Homestead Two.
335
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:56,583
We are turning around.
336
00:14:56,708 --> 00:15:00,083
So, as the chopper
and lidar truck prepared
337
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:02,375
to leave Homestead
Two and head back
338
00:15:02,542 --> 00:15:05,458
to conduct another scan
heading toward the east field,
339
00:15:05,625 --> 00:15:07,875
Thomas Winterton got
ready to launch a rocket
340
00:15:08,042 --> 00:15:09,625
from the mesa drill site
341
00:15:09,792 --> 00:15:13,292
to see if that would change
anything during that return run.
342
00:15:13,458 --> 00:15:15,333
The rocket's ready,
343
00:15:15,542 --> 00:15:17,208
lights on, sirens going.
344
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:18,712
All right, Thomas,
345
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:20,292
Cameron is clear,
346
00:15:20,417 --> 00:15:22,097
you are good to launch
the rocket whenever.
347
00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:24,583
Five, four,
348
00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:28,083
three, two, one.
349
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,167
Yeah!
350
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,000
Copy that,
Sam, go all the way to the gate
351
00:15:49,125 --> 00:15:50,625
and turn back around.
352
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:01,083
Lidar truck
just passed the drill site,
353
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:03,875
proceeding to
the triangle, over.
354
00:16:04,083 --> 00:16:06,042
Copy that, Thomas.
355
00:16:09,958 --> 00:16:11,167
Everybody, be advised
356
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:12,917
that, the lidar truck
357
00:16:13,042 --> 00:16:15,667
is passing through
the triangle right now.
358
00:16:24,083 --> 00:16:26,208
Just curious,
is the helicopter,
359
00:16:26,417 --> 00:16:29,500
does he think he's
directly over the lidar truck?
360
00:16:29,625 --> 00:16:32,042
'Cause he's directly over
the drill site right now.
361
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:33,962
Yeah, that's a
good question, Thomas.
362
00:16:34,042 --> 00:16:35,833
He's way behind the lidar truck.
363
00:16:35,958 --> 00:16:38,000
I don't know...
something's going on.
364
00:16:38,125 --> 00:16:41,375
Yeah, I can confirm, that's
exactly what I saw here.
365
00:16:52,417 --> 00:16:53,625
Behind them?
366
00:16:53,833 --> 00:16:55,667
There's no way.
367
00:16:55,875 --> 00:16:59,125
Okay, now this was really odd.
368
00:16:59,208 --> 00:17:02,250
Cameron said, according
to what he was seeing,
369
00:17:02,375 --> 00:17:05,292
he was tracking directly
above the lidar truck
370
00:17:05,417 --> 00:17:08,917
as they headed back
east past the triangle.
371
00:17:09,083 --> 00:17:10,958
But we could all see
the helicopter positioned
372
00:17:11,125 --> 00:17:13,042
way behind the truck
373
00:17:13,208 --> 00:17:15,500
and much closer
to the mesa drill site.
374
00:17:15,583 --> 00:17:19,458
So, were our eyes
being deceived or his?
375
00:17:19,625 --> 00:17:21,500
It made no sense.
376
00:17:21,583 --> 00:17:23,223
Yeah, hey,
just for what it's worth,
377
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,500
I have been tracking
you and the lidar truck,
378
00:17:25,667 --> 00:17:28,167
and there has been a
significant discrepancy
379
00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:30,208
between your reported positions.
380
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:32,337
Yeah, Cameron,
when the lidar truck came through
381
00:17:32,417 --> 00:17:34,417
the triangle, you were
still at the drill site.
382
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:46,003
I've been tracking
you and the lidar truck.
383
00:17:46,083 --> 00:17:48,083
There has been a
significant discrepancy
384
00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:50,917
between your reported positions.
385
00:17:51,042 --> 00:17:52,667
CAMERON (over
radio): my goodness.
386
00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:56,083
What we were all seeing
with our eyeballs on the ground
387
00:17:56,292 --> 00:17:57,500
was that Cameron's helicopter
388
00:17:57,667 --> 00:17:59,708
was nowhere
near the lidar truck,
389
00:17:59,833 --> 00:18:01,500
even though he was reporting
390
00:18:01,625 --> 00:18:03,792
that the truck was
directly beneath him.
391
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:07,917
So, something was clearly
causing an optical illusion
392
00:18:08,125 --> 00:18:11,667
for either Cameron,
us or everyone.
393
00:18:22,958 --> 00:18:26,167
Yeah, negative,
the truck is still to the east of you.
394
00:18:26,375 --> 00:18:27,833
You're not over it.
395
00:18:30,958 --> 00:18:32,833
There's no way.
396
00:18:33,042 --> 00:18:34,833
Wow, Cameron, we
can tell you for a fact
397
00:18:34,958 --> 00:18:36,542
that you're really not.
398
00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:38,792
You need to head about
50 yards directly to the east.
399
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,500
Copy that. Yep,
that's very interesting.
400
00:18:57,208 --> 00:18:58,462
There you go. That's it.
401
00:18:58,542 --> 00:19:01,250
Now you're right over the truck.
402
00:19:01,417 --> 00:19:04,000
It looked like, for
a-a good while there,
403
00:19:04,125 --> 00:19:06,833
that you were way
behind the lidar truck.
404
00:19:07,042 --> 00:19:08,295
If you thought
you were over him,
405
00:19:08,375 --> 00:19:10,833
then there's some kind
of an optical distortion
406
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,583
that's, happening here.
407
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:16,208
It took about a minute for
Cameron to get reoriented
408
00:19:16,375 --> 00:19:19,000
and back in the correct
position above the truck
409
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:21,333
as it headed east
of the triangle.
410
00:19:21,542 --> 00:19:24,708
The question was whether or not
the massive cone-shaped anomaly
411
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:27,958
that we previously detected
was what caused him to think
412
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,958
he was over the
truck the entire time.
413
00:19:31,125 --> 00:19:35,125
Once we could process our
data, we hoped to find out for sure.
414
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:37,583
But in the meantime,
we were all on edge
415
00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:40,917
wondering what else
might happen in the moment.
416
00:19:41,083 --> 00:19:43,167
Travis,
this is the lidar truck,
417
00:19:43,292 --> 00:19:44,750
we have reached the gate.
418
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:48,125
Cameron, we've reached
the gate. We're holding.
419
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:58,083
Yes, copy that, over.
420
00:19:58,250 --> 00:20:00,833
Once they reached the
end of their second run,
421
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,167
the lidar truck and chopper
422
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:05,417
got back into their
starting position
423
00:20:05,583 --> 00:20:09,000
to make another scan
on the east-to-west route.
424
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:12,125
And this time, we
had Cameron go up
425
00:20:12,292 --> 00:20:14,458
to an altitude of 2,000 feet
426
00:20:14,583 --> 00:20:17,417
to give the lidar truck a
much higher target to track
427
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:20,500
and, ultimately, scan
a much larger area.
428
00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:23,125
Especially since the
first time we detected
429
00:20:23,208 --> 00:20:24,917
the cone-shaped anomaly,
430
00:20:25,083 --> 00:20:27,208
it was 2,000 feet
high at its apex
431
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:29,167
right above the triangle.
432
00:20:29,375 --> 00:20:31,083
You ready, Cameron?
433
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:35,250
Rocket's gonna be launching
here in a few seconds.
434
00:20:38,792 --> 00:20:41,208
All right, Dragon,
launch the rocket.
435
00:20:41,417 --> 00:20:42,833
Copy that.
436
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,875
Five, four,
437
00:20:46,042 --> 00:20:49,208
three, two, one.
438
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:03,708
Y-You should have been
able to see that, Cameron.
439
00:21:03,917 --> 00:21:05,333
Yeah.
440
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,375
I don't
either, that's weird.
441
00:21:09,583 --> 00:21:11,292
Is it possible that something
442
00:21:11,458 --> 00:21:13,917
was blocking Cameron's
view of the rocket?
443
00:21:14,042 --> 00:21:16,833
Just last week, during a
crazy drone swarm experiment
444
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,583
that we conducted between
the triangle and the east field,
445
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:24,250
our surveillance cameras
imaged a rocket as it ascended,
446
00:21:24,458 --> 00:21:27,208
but incredibly, the rocket
vanished for a moment
447
00:21:27,375 --> 00:21:29,333
about 100 feet in the air,
448
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:33,042
and then, suddenly,
it reappeared.
449
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:36,000
We have no idea what
caused that to happen,
450
00:21:36,208 --> 00:21:38,583
but could it be the same anomaly
451
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:40,500
that just obstructed
Cameron's view?
452
00:21:40,667 --> 00:21:43,542
If so, as the lidar
truck and helicopter
453
00:21:43,708 --> 00:21:46,167
made their next
scan across the ranch,
454
00:21:46,375 --> 00:21:48,167
we hope to find out.
455
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:50,500
We've got something
here on Jim's lidar.
456
00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:52,458
What? W-What have we got?
457
00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:55,917
You do, in the air?
458
00:21:56,042 --> 00:21:59,000
That's down at
the east, right over the spire.
459
00:21:59,167 --> 00:22:00,875
Holy crap, what is that?
460
00:22:01,042 --> 00:22:04,125
I'm going to check
the terrestrial laser scanner.
461
00:22:04,333 --> 00:22:07,667
Hey, Dragon, be advised
that on the lidar from Jim's drone,
462
00:22:07,792 --> 00:22:11,292
they did pick up something
in the air over the spire.
463
00:22:11,458 --> 00:22:13,125
That's good to know.
464
00:22:13,292 --> 00:22:17,292
In 2021, Pete Kelsey
ran a photogrammetry scan
465
00:22:17,458 --> 00:22:19,333
in the east field and detected
466
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:22,708
a 300-foot-high,
column-shaped spire,
467
00:22:22,917 --> 00:22:25,500
which is also the area
where Erik has detected
468
00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:29,333
GPS voids in Jim
Royston's drone scans.
469
00:22:29,458 --> 00:22:33,208
It made me wonder not
only if Jim Royston's lidar
470
00:22:33,375 --> 00:22:35,458
had detected the
spire anomaly again,
471
00:22:35,667 --> 00:22:37,750
but also if that was
what had obstructed
472
00:22:37,875 --> 00:22:40,917
Cameron's view of the
rocket from the helicopter.
473
00:22:41,042 --> 00:22:44,625
We've documented countless
phenomena all over the ranch.
474
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:47,375
But when we start seeing
repeated patterns in the data,
475
00:22:47,542 --> 00:22:50,000
it means we might be
getting closer to figuring out
476
00:22:50,167 --> 00:22:52,292
just what might be causing them.
477
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:57,583
Hey, Travis,
have a look at this.
478
00:22:57,708 --> 00:23:00,333
Now, granted, this
is just preview...
479
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,583
Right. But once again...
480
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:04,458
Another vertical feature.
481
00:23:04,625 --> 00:23:06,375
I see it.
482
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:08,333
That suggests
we've got another cone.
483
00:23:10,958 --> 00:23:12,678
It will be interesting
when we post process.
484
00:23:12,792 --> 00:23:14,417
Can't wait to see
that post processed.
485
00:23:14,583 --> 00:23:17,375
I was stunned when
Pete showed me the data
486
00:23:17,542 --> 00:23:20,417
on his terrestrial lidar
scanner of what appeared to be
487
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:23,917
that 2,000-foot-tall,
cone-shaped anomaly again.
488
00:23:24,042 --> 00:23:25,837
Steve, we're going to
start the burner experiment.
489
00:23:25,917 --> 00:23:27,000
Okay.
490
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:28,667
So I immediately asked
491
00:23:28,792 --> 00:23:30,792
hot air balloon
pilot Steve Jones
492
00:23:30,958 --> 00:23:33,875
to get ready to shoot flames
straight up at the triangle
493
00:23:34,042 --> 00:23:35,500
with his propane burner.
494
00:23:35,625 --> 00:23:37,875
All right, so,
we'll run this,
495
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,542
we'll run the thermal.
496
00:23:39,667 --> 00:23:42,417
And, we'll start
doing the fire experiment.
497
00:23:42,542 --> 00:23:45,167
If the cone, which also
covered the triangle,
498
00:23:45,375 --> 00:23:46,583
was showing up again,
499
00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:48,667
I wanted to see if
evidence of the blob
500
00:23:48,875 --> 00:23:51,375
would also appear
at 31 feet in the air.
501
00:23:51,542 --> 00:23:54,422
Hey, Erik, be advised that we are going to start
502
00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:56,375
the balloon burner experiment.
503
00:23:56,542 --> 00:23:57,750
Copy that, thank you.
504
00:23:57,917 --> 00:24:00,458
I've got assets
trained on the triangle.
505
00:24:00,667 --> 00:24:02,917
Hey,
Dragon, do you copy?
506
00:24:04,292 --> 00:24:05,417
Yeah, Travis, go ahead.
507
00:24:07,042 --> 00:24:09,625
We're done with the,
rocket launches,
508
00:24:09,792 --> 00:24:12,003
and so if you guys want to
come down here to the triangle
509
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:14,542
and watch the burner
experiments with us.
510
00:24:15,875 --> 00:24:16,875
Copy that, Travis.
511
00:24:17,042 --> 00:24:18,458
We'll head back that way
512
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,250
and observe the
other experiment.
513
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:21,737
Copy that. We'll
see you in a bit.
514
00:24:21,833 --> 00:24:24,167
Cameron, on the next run,
515
00:24:24,375 --> 00:24:27,625
you need to
go up to 5,000 feet.
516
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:33,250
Since Cameron's
view may have been obstructed
517
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:35,708
by something in
the air at 2,000 feet,
518
00:24:35,875 --> 00:24:38,000
I wanted him to
climb up to 5,000 feet,
519
00:24:38,125 --> 00:24:39,645
which should have
been out of the range
520
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:41,125
of the cone-shaped anomaly.
521
00:24:41,292 --> 00:24:43,042
I really wanted to test
522
00:24:43,208 --> 00:24:45,458
if he would still have
strange optical distortions
523
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:47,292
at a higher altitude.
524
00:24:47,417 --> 00:24:49,833
- Kaleb, how you doing, man?
- Good.
525
00:24:50,042 --> 00:24:51,792
So, get that SLAM
scanner ready to go
526
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:53,678
'cause we're gonna
start firing this burner.
527
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:56,208
Why don't you go ahead
and get in place, Steve?
528
00:24:56,375 --> 00:24:58,167
Taking off.
529
00:24:58,375 --> 00:25:01,500
As Steve Jones
prepared to start shooting flames
530
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:03,500
up above the triangle...
531
00:25:03,583 --> 00:25:06,000
We're running, lidar's running.
532
00:25:06,167 --> 00:25:10,042
We activated our stationary
and handheld lidar devices.
533
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:11,708
- I'm live.
- You're up.
534
00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:15,167
Then, Pete Kelsey got his
thermal camera drone in the air,
535
00:25:15,333 --> 00:25:17,125
and we also started recording
536
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:19,083
with a FLIR thermal
camera on the ground.
537
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:21,167
Go
ahead and do a run, Sam.
538
00:25:21,375 --> 00:25:24,708
10-4, we're a-going.
539
00:25:24,875 --> 00:25:26,958
Steve, you copy?
540
00:25:27,042 --> 00:25:28,333
Copy.
541
00:25:28,542 --> 00:25:29,917
Are you ready to go?
542
00:25:30,083 --> 00:25:31,833
Yes, sir.
543
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,333
All right, we're
gonna go in five,
544
00:25:35,542 --> 00:25:40,000
four, three, two, one...
545
00:25:40,208 --> 00:25:42,250
Whoa!
546
00:25:47,167 --> 00:25:51,500
Three, two, one, stop.
547
00:25:51,708 --> 00:25:53,500
That's awesome.
548
00:25:56,042 --> 00:25:58,292
Yeah, make it as hot
as you can make it.
549
00:25:58,458 --> 00:25:59,833
Okay.
550
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,875
After
seeing new lidar data
551
00:26:02,042 --> 00:26:04,000
of what could be the
massive, cone-shaped anomaly
552
00:26:04,167 --> 00:26:08,000
that was centered nearly
2,000 feet high at the triangle,
553
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:11,167
we wanted Steve Jones to
blast as much flame as possible
554
00:26:11,375 --> 00:26:13,125
up to the 31-foot mark
555
00:26:13,292 --> 00:26:15,917
to see if we could also
get the blob to reappear.
556
00:26:16,083 --> 00:26:19,625
So, as Steve prepped
an even bigger blast
557
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,417
from the propane burner,
558
00:26:21,542 --> 00:26:23,917
we were scanning
with our lidar devices.
559
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:27,583
We also were watching our
aerial and ground-based thermal
560
00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:29,833
and night vision cameras
for anything strange
561
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,083
that might be invisible
to the naked eye.
562
00:26:32,208 --> 00:26:34,625
So, now, we're going to climb
563
00:26:34,792 --> 00:26:37,833
up to 5,000 feet
above the triangle.
564
00:26:38,042 --> 00:26:39,833
10-4, Cameron.
565
00:26:40,042 --> 00:26:41,962
And from the
helicopter, nearly a mile high,
566
00:26:42,042 --> 00:26:43,920
Cameron was looking out
for phenomena in the air
567
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,417
with his night vision goggles.
568
00:26:46,583 --> 00:26:49,500
All right, we're
gonna go in five,
569
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:52,333
four, three,
570
00:26:52,542 --> 00:26:55,083
two, one, go.
571
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:16,208
Three, two, one, zero, stop.
572
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:28,042
That's a good copy, yeah.
573
00:27:28,208 --> 00:27:30,542
I like you just
following it, Dragon.
574
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:33,250
Okay. I can do that.
575
00:27:33,375 --> 00:27:36,167
Five, four, three,
576
00:27:36,333 --> 00:27:39,250
two, one, go.
577
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:52,625
Three, two, one, stop.
578
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:08,042
How can fire cause static
on the radio? That's crazy.
579
00:28:08,167 --> 00:28:09,875
There was nothing
in the mechanics
580
00:28:10,042 --> 00:28:11,417
of the balloon thruster
581
00:28:11,625 --> 00:28:14,792
that could have caused
Cameron's communications system
582
00:28:14,958 --> 00:28:17,708
to suddenly experience
a bunch of static.
583
00:28:17,875 --> 00:28:19,125
But in recent years,
584
00:28:19,292 --> 00:28:21,833
we've detected
strange energy spikes
585
00:28:21,917 --> 00:28:25,375
right around 5,000 feet
directly above the triangle.
586
00:28:25,542 --> 00:28:27,833
And we've also seen a number
of different anomalies there
587
00:28:28,042 --> 00:28:30,750
between that altitude
and the ground.
588
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:32,375
Go.
589
00:28:32,542 --> 00:28:35,583
It made me wonder if the
flames that were directly hitting
590
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:38,292
the 31-foot blob
zone at the triangle
591
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,417
were somehow triggering
more phenomena
592
00:28:40,542 --> 00:28:43,000
that was affecting
the helicopter.
593
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:45,008
So, we needed Steve
Jones to shoot more flames
594
00:28:45,167 --> 00:28:47,167
to see if it would
keep happening
595
00:28:47,333 --> 00:28:49,417
or possibly stimulate
something even stranger.
596
00:28:49,625 --> 00:28:51,083
Stop.
597
00:28:55,917 --> 00:28:57,753
- Whoa, what was that?
- I don't know,
598
00:28:57,833 --> 00:28:59,873
something just went right
across the mesa like that.
599
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,878
- Yeah.
- It looked like it was right in front of the...
600
00:29:01,958 --> 00:29:03,833
- Like a band just went across.
- Yeah.
601
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,333
I'm looking at
this monitor and I see
602
00:29:06,542 --> 00:29:08,875
almost like a-a fog
603
00:29:09,042 --> 00:29:12,375
or a field of some kind
moving across the mesa
604
00:29:12,542 --> 00:29:14,292
and we don't know what it is.
605
00:29:14,458 --> 00:29:17,417
Hopefully, Erik caught
some more video footage of it
606
00:29:17,542 --> 00:29:19,083
in his cameras
607
00:29:19,250 --> 00:29:22,375
and we can figure
out exactly what that is.
608
00:29:22,542 --> 00:29:25,417
Hey, Steve,
we're gonna do one more burn.
609
00:29:25,583 --> 00:29:26,833
Copy that.
610
00:29:27,042 --> 00:29:30,667
Three, two, one, go.
611
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:31,920
Right there,
it just did it again.
612
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,667
I saw it again.
613
00:29:36,833 --> 00:29:39,833
Two, one, stop.
614
00:29:39,958 --> 00:29:42,042
Looks like a smoke
ring, like a donut.
615
00:29:42,208 --> 00:29:46,167
It looked like it was going
along the side of something.
616
00:29:47,208 --> 00:29:49,750
Yeah, there was that little
section right there on the edge.
617
00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:51,958
And it looked like it hit
something and, like...
618
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:54,500
- And it went around it.
- Yeah.
619
00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:57,708
Kaleb, did you say you saw
something in the scanner?
620
00:29:57,875 --> 00:30:00,667
Well, so, a couple things.
621
00:30:00,875 --> 00:30:04,667
When, Steve was
making the flare go...
622
00:30:04,875 --> 00:30:06,500
It looked like there was,
623
00:30:06,708 --> 00:30:08,458
like, a circle that
kind of went around.
624
00:30:08,583 --> 00:30:11,000
And it almost like it
followed the edge of a bowl.
625
00:30:11,167 --> 00:30:12,167
Wow.
626
00:30:12,375 --> 00:30:15,333
And Pete had the
drone come back out
627
00:30:15,542 --> 00:30:17,167
and we saw two different things
628
00:30:17,375 --> 00:30:19,792
look like they went
across the screen.
629
00:30:19,958 --> 00:30:22,000
But they, almost like
they were distorted.
630
00:30:22,125 --> 00:30:23,750
- All right.
- So...
631
00:30:23,917 --> 00:30:24,625
We'll absolutely look
at that. That's awesome.
632
00:30:24,792 --> 00:30:26,625
It was odd that the flames
633
00:30:26,792 --> 00:30:28,208
might've possibly affected
634
00:30:28,375 --> 00:30:30,583
Cameron's comms
system in the helicopter
635
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:33,833
nearly 5,000 feet
above the triangle.
636
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,542
But when the guys
saw a distorted shadow
637
00:30:36,708 --> 00:30:40,167
move across the face of the mesa
on Pete's thermal camera screen,
638
00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:43,167
and then the flames
appeared to wrap around
639
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:47,083
an invisible object right
at the 31-foot blob level,
640
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:49,667
it seemed like we were
definitely getting responses
641
00:30:49,875 --> 00:30:51,208
from something on the ranch.
642
00:30:51,375 --> 00:30:54,125
The question was,
just what could it be?
643
00:30:54,208 --> 00:30:57,000
We reset everything
on the SLAM scanner
644
00:30:57,167 --> 00:31:00,167
and so the next experiment,
we'll... I'll try and scan again
645
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:02,000
and I'm gonna try and
do that same pattern
646
00:31:02,167 --> 00:31:04,542
- around the triangle, so...
- Okay.
647
00:31:19,583 --> 00:31:22,125
- Isn't that bizarre?
- Yeah.
648
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:58,583
We had a
couple of small objects fly by.
649
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:02,875
But we are at about
10,000 feet above sea level.
650
00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:10,958
Okay, just confirming, you
did see two smaller orbs.
651
00:32:11,167 --> 00:32:12,500
Yes!
652
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:14,542
All right.
653
00:32:18,542 --> 00:32:21,792
- That's awesome.
- Okay, Travis says it's awesome.
654
00:32:21,958 --> 00:32:23,667
And I bet you Erik
will be looking forward
655
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:25,583
to seeing that data, Cameron.
656
00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:28,583
None of us could
see any signs of the UAPs
657
00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:31,917
that Cameron... who was
wearing night vision goggles...
658
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:33,792
was reporting flying all around
659
00:32:33,917 --> 00:32:36,125
the helicopter nearly 5,000 feet
660
00:32:36,333 --> 00:32:38,083
directly above the triangle.
661
00:32:38,292 --> 00:32:40,458
But from the tone in his voice,
662
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:41,958
we could all tell he was
663
00:32:42,125 --> 00:32:43,333
definitely seeing something
664
00:32:43,542 --> 00:32:45,625
that had no
conventional explanation.
665
00:32:45,708 --> 00:32:47,958
So three different anomalies
666
00:32:48,083 --> 00:32:50,167
that, Cameron
caught at that...
667
00:32:50,333 --> 00:32:52,833
- elevation.
- Well, he was directly overhead over the triangle
668
00:32:53,042 --> 00:32:54,583
when-when I heard him call you.
669
00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:55,950
So that's-that's where it was.
670
00:32:56,042 --> 00:32:57,250
- That's great.
- And we got
671
00:32:57,417 --> 00:32:59,167
that whole array of
cameras on the bottom
672
00:32:59,333 --> 00:33:01,337
of the helicopter now, so who
knows what he couldn't see
673
00:33:01,417 --> 00:33:03,420
- that we might have captured on those cameras.
- That's right.
674
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:06,083
Maybe it's just like
before when he said
675
00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:08,167
- he saw all those orbs up there.
- Yeah.
676
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:11,208
Back in 2022...
677
00:33:14,875 --> 00:33:17,583
as Cameron was conducting
an aerial experiment with Erik,
678
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:19,333
Brandon and Kaleb,
679
00:33:19,542 --> 00:33:22,375
he also reported seeing,
in the night vision goggles,
680
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:25,333
a bunch of UAPs
zipping by the helicopter.
681
00:33:30,792 --> 00:33:33,292
And that was the
same exact night that one
682
00:33:33,458 --> 00:33:35,417
of the specialty cameras
mounted on the chopper
683
00:33:35,583 --> 00:33:38,542
caught a UAP flying
through the mesa,
684
00:33:38,708 --> 00:33:41,375
and then heading
straight toward the triangle.
685
00:33:41,542 --> 00:33:44,000
Kaleb, do you think
that was happening
686
00:33:44,167 --> 00:33:46,042
at the same time
when Cameron seen
687
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:48,292
those, smaller orbs,
688
00:33:48,458 --> 00:33:50,333
or that, strobe of light?
689
00:33:50,542 --> 00:33:52,500
Yeah, they were definitely
within the same window
690
00:33:52,708 --> 00:33:53,833
of time for sure. Yeah.
691
00:33:55,875 --> 00:33:58,375
It's hard to know
if those UAPs were related
692
00:33:58,542 --> 00:34:00,875
to the static Cameron
had on his comms
693
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,542
or the shadow that
moved across the mesa
694
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,542
and the possible blob activity
695
00:34:05,708 --> 00:34:08,333
that were both captured
by our lidar devices.
696
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:09,583
But Don was right.
697
00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:12,667
These events all happened
at roughly the same time
698
00:34:12,792 --> 00:34:15,875
when we were shooting
the flames up at the triangle.
699
00:34:16,083 --> 00:34:18,500
So who knows what
we'll see once we review
700
00:34:18,667 --> 00:34:20,500
the video from our
specialty cameras
701
00:34:20,667 --> 00:34:23,167
and crunch all the data
that we've collected tonight.
702
00:34:23,333 --> 00:34:24,420
I mean, he was
directly overhead.
703
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:26,000
- And very, very high.
- Yeah.
704
00:34:26,167 --> 00:34:28,083
At 5,000 feet above
where we're standing now.
705
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:29,542
Yeah, absolutely.
706
00:34:30,875 --> 00:34:32,458
Hey, guys,
you guys got a copy?
707
00:34:32,625 --> 00:34:34,500
Yeah, go ahead, Thomas.
708
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:36,333
The ground's moving.
709
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:37,958
We are minutes
710
00:34:38,083 --> 00:34:39,403
from breaking
through the surface.
711
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:41,000
Do you guys want
to head over this way
712
00:34:41,208 --> 00:34:43,000
and watch the drill
bit break through?
713
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:44,625
Copy that.
714
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:46,333
Dragon, Don and me are gonna
715
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:49,083
stay down here and keep
an eye on all the equipment.
716
00:34:49,292 --> 00:34:51,167
But Kaleb's gonna
head back to the helipad
717
00:34:51,375 --> 00:34:53,833
so Cameron can
give him and Erik a lift.
718
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,083
They'll be there in a minute.
719
00:34:56,208 --> 00:34:57,667
We'll wait for you.
720
00:34:57,833 --> 00:34:59,125
And...
721
00:34:59,292 --> 00:35:00,708
should be any minute.
722
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:12,833
Cameron is coming
to transport Kaleb and myself
723
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,083
to the top of the mesa so that
we can witness and measure
724
00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:18,083
what happens when
that drill head erupts
725
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:19,833
from the top of the mesa.
726
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,833
It's a very important moment
727
00:35:21,958 --> 00:35:24,292
in our investigation
this summer.
728
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:27,583
I know that everyone is anxious
to get news of that success.
729
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:29,333
Okay.
730
00:35:33,708 --> 00:35:34,958
Yeah, he's airborne.
731
00:35:35,167 --> 00:35:37,083
I can hear it.
732
00:35:39,625 --> 00:35:41,000
I'm really excited
733
00:35:41,208 --> 00:35:43,167
because we've
been trying to find out
734
00:35:43,292 --> 00:35:44,667
what's in this mesa
735
00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:46,167
now for several years.
736
00:35:46,292 --> 00:35:48,208
And right now we're literally
737
00:35:48,375 --> 00:35:50,167
sitting inches away from
738
00:35:50,292 --> 00:35:51,837
what could be some
of the biggest answers
739
00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:54,250
that we've ever gotten
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
740
00:35:58,042 --> 00:36:00,000
It's gonna
pop up over the mesa.
741
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,167
We've been out here
drilling for the longest time.
742
00:36:04,375 --> 00:36:07,625
We've faced tons of obstacles
743
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:09,750
and tons of delays.
744
00:36:09,875 --> 00:36:11,917
So it's fitting
745
00:36:12,042 --> 00:36:13,667
that we're gonna finally
746
00:36:13,875 --> 00:36:16,500
punch through the top of
the mesa the same time
747
00:36:16,667 --> 00:36:18,542
that we're doing
our final experiment.
748
00:36:19,875 --> 00:36:21,375
- Hey, guys.
- Hey there.
749
00:36:21,542 --> 00:36:22,708
Exciting day.
750
00:36:22,875 --> 00:36:24,667
Looks like we're
gonna get through.
751
00:36:24,875 --> 00:36:26,000
Yeah.
752
00:36:26,125 --> 00:36:27,365
So, Alex, you want to show them
753
00:36:27,542 --> 00:36:29,250
right where you think
it's gonna come out?
754
00:36:29,375 --> 00:36:31,042
Yeah. I mean, we saw
these cracks starting
755
00:36:31,208 --> 00:36:32,837
to happen, and the ground
was starting to heave
756
00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:35,125
right here, so I'm guessing
somewhere in this area
757
00:36:35,292 --> 00:36:37,458
- right here.
- Wow.
758
00:36:37,625 --> 00:36:40,042
There's water.
759
00:36:40,208 --> 00:36:42,167
Well, go ahead and
keep drilling her, bud.
760
00:36:46,042 --> 00:36:47,833
Check that out.
761
00:36:57,667 --> 00:36:59,212
She's
coming out right now.
762
00:36:59,292 --> 00:37:00,612
You can go ahead
and just push it.
763
00:37:01,792 --> 00:37:03,375
Check that out.
764
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,542
Travis?
765
00:37:13,708 --> 00:37:14,875
Be advised,
766
00:37:15,042 --> 00:37:16,500
we have broken through.
767
00:37:18,208 --> 00:37:20,000
All right, how about that?
768
00:37:20,208 --> 00:37:21,708
Hey! Finally.
769
00:37:21,875 --> 00:37:24,333
Hey, congratulations!
770
00:37:24,458 --> 00:37:27,792
Sounds like Travis
is a little bit excited.
771
00:37:27,958 --> 00:37:29,625
So, Travis, there's a lot
772
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:31,462
of work ahead of us once
we reem this thing out.
773
00:37:31,542 --> 00:37:35,375
Looks like we have
got a perfect asset
774
00:37:35,542 --> 00:37:39,208
for studying what's going
on inside of this mesa.
775
00:37:39,375 --> 00:37:41,015
You know,
you're absolutely right.
776
00:37:41,167 --> 00:37:44,958
After all the insane setbacks
that this operation encountered
777
00:37:45,167 --> 00:37:47,292
over the past several months,
778
00:37:47,458 --> 00:37:49,298
I could hardly believe it
when the guys radioed
779
00:37:49,458 --> 00:37:52,000
to me that we finally
got one of our boreholes
780
00:37:52,208 --> 00:37:54,250
completed up through the mesa.
781
00:37:54,375 --> 00:37:56,625
And for it to happen in
the midst of everything else
782
00:37:56,833 --> 00:37:59,792
that went down tonight
was like icing on the cake.
783
00:37:59,917 --> 00:38:02,375
I'd say this was one of the
best experiments we've ever had
784
00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:06,167
during our investigation
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
785
00:38:06,375 --> 00:38:08,333
I think it's a, a
victory right there.
786
00:38:08,542 --> 00:38:11,333
We've been trying to get
through that mesa for months.
787
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:12,833
I think it's
pretty exciting.
788
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,167
Hell yeah.
789
00:38:14,375 --> 00:38:16,542
Now we
can actually do,
790
00:38:16,708 --> 00:38:19,750
a GPR through
that, casing and
791
00:38:19,917 --> 00:38:22,542
do, basically, RF tomography
792
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:25,667
of whatever the
anomaly inside there is.
793
00:38:25,792 --> 00:38:27,458
- That's the name of the game.
- Yeah.
794
00:38:27,625 --> 00:38:30,542
Well, I think we've
done everything we can do tonight.
795
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:33,292
I think we head down,
meet up with the guys down
796
00:38:33,417 --> 00:38:35,500
at the triangle and...
797
00:38:35,625 --> 00:38:37,542
- get off the hill.
- Yeah.
798
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:39,542
All right, let's
get out of here.
799
00:38:40,542 --> 00:38:42,042
Seeing that six-inch
800
00:38:42,208 --> 00:38:44,000
bit pop through the top
801
00:38:44,125 --> 00:38:45,917
just felt like such a victory.
802
00:38:46,042 --> 00:38:48,500
And, we're gonna
take that victory lap.
803
00:38:48,625 --> 00:38:50,125
We're gonna enjoy it.
804
00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:52,250
And we're gonna
come back next year.
805
00:38:52,458 --> 00:38:54,500
We will get our 18-inch hole
806
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:56,833
from top to bottom,
because we're not gonna stop
807
00:38:57,042 --> 00:38:59,542
until we figure out
what's inside this mesa.
808
00:39:00,792 --> 00:39:03,417
Well, I guess
first of all, tell us about
809
00:39:03,583 --> 00:39:05,500
the drill getting
through the mesa.
810
00:39:05,667 --> 00:39:07,542
We were almost
exactly on our target,
811
00:39:07,708 --> 00:39:09,087
- we were just a bit to the west...
- Yeah.
812
00:39:09,167 --> 00:39:10,567
Of the spot we
were shooting for.
813
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:13,000
But, as far as north to south,
814
00:39:13,208 --> 00:39:15,333
we are almost spot-on.
815
00:39:15,417 --> 00:39:17,792
Yeah. So that, you know,
so that still keeps us clear
816
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:20,917
of the anomaly,
according to Jan's data.
817
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:23,375
So, once they
reem it, then we should be able
818
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:25,875
to get his ground-penetrating
radar through there, right?
819
00:39:26,042 --> 00:39:27,333
- I think so.
- Yeah.
820
00:39:27,542 --> 00:39:29,000
I think we've accomplished
821
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:33,333
just about every single
one of our objectives tonight.
822
00:39:33,542 --> 00:39:35,625
- Correct.
- We did get a lot of data.
823
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:38,500
In fact, what we've
done tonight has
824
00:39:38,708 --> 00:39:42,500
probably generated more data
than any other data collection
825
00:39:42,708 --> 00:39:44,917
exercise that we've
done in a single evening.
826
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:46,833
Dude, you're right.
827
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,792
We've got more data
points to go through right now
828
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,667
than we've had probably
in the entire summation
829
00:39:52,875 --> 00:39:54,792
of the five years
that I've been here.
830
00:39:54,958 --> 00:39:56,875
That's daunting to
even think about.
831
00:39:57,042 --> 00:39:59,458
That's an insurmountable
task, but hey, look, you know,
832
00:39:59,625 --> 00:40:02,167
it's late, we still got to
break down and put stuff up.
833
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:05,500
So I say we divide and
conquer and let's get out of here.
834
00:40:05,708 --> 00:40:07,868
- Feels like it's almost time to get up.
- Yeah, it is.
835
00:40:09,625 --> 00:40:11,292
We've run
experiments before
836
00:40:11,417 --> 00:40:13,177
where it seemed like
nothing strange happened
837
00:40:13,333 --> 00:40:14,708
until we reviewed the data.
838
00:40:14,833 --> 00:40:16,833
Well, tonight, we all witnessed
839
00:40:16,958 --> 00:40:20,500
different things with each step
of our ranch-wide experiment
840
00:40:20,708 --> 00:40:22,167
that were completely
unbelievable.
841
00:40:22,375 --> 00:40:24,583
So I can't wait to go
through everything
842
00:40:24,708 --> 00:40:27,667
that we captured on all of
our devices and cameras.
843
00:40:27,875 --> 00:40:29,125
Who knows?
844
00:40:29,292 --> 00:40:31,333
The answer to
what is truly behind
845
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:34,417
all this crazy phenomena
here on Skinwalker Ranch
846
00:40:34,542 --> 00:40:36,917
just might be revealed
in tonight's data.
847
00:40:38,708 --> 00:40:40,548
We often say that
we're lead by the data.
848
00:40:41,708 --> 00:40:43,667
But what are we to
do when the data lead
849
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,708
in so many different directions?
850
00:40:46,750 --> 00:40:49,750
We find ourselves refining
not just what we know,
851
00:40:49,917 --> 00:40:53,000
but how we think about
the things that we're seeing.
852
00:40:53,167 --> 00:40:55,667
I didn't come here only
to revel in the mysteries
853
00:40:55,875 --> 00:40:57,250
and to marvel at
how strange things
854
00:40:57,458 --> 00:40:59,333
can sometimes be out here.
855
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,875
I came for answers.
856
00:41:01,042 --> 00:41:04,333
So our search for a
unifying explanation
857
00:41:04,542 --> 00:41:06,833
will continue.
858
00:41:08,458 --> 00:41:10,208
The mesa
has been holding mysteries
859
00:41:10,375 --> 00:41:12,667
for thousands of years.
860
00:41:13,708 --> 00:41:17,208
We can only guess
what will be uncovered,
861
00:41:17,375 --> 00:41:19,167
as we now have access
862
00:41:19,375 --> 00:41:22,333
for the first time to
deploy technology,
863
00:41:22,542 --> 00:41:25,250
sensors, and personnel
864
00:41:25,375 --> 00:41:27,917
in service to exploring...
865
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:31,583
really what lies beneath.
