1
00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:02,500
[narrator reading]
2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,600
[Charlie]
Got some trespassers.
3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,967
I think tonightwould be a good nightto catch 'em.
4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:10,867
[narrator]
After tracking the poachers...
5
00:00:10,867 --> 00:00:12,166
[man] [bleep] Busted, man.
6
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:14,166
...and taking them to court,
7
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:17,567
Duane wins his caseto ban them from his property.
8
00:00:17,567 --> 00:00:19,367
[Duane] They've beenslithering aroundon the land,
9
00:00:19,367 --> 00:00:21,567
and they don't get
to do that anymore.
10
00:00:21,567 --> 00:00:23,266
[narrator]
Now, he can double down
11
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:25,500
on his missionto breach the underground.
12
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,266
We will have to go in slow,
but we will go in.
13
00:00:29,266 --> 00:00:31,233
[narrator] With thefloodwaters receding...
14
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:33,100
[man] I don't see any water.
15
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:35,033
...he canfinally move forward...
16
00:00:35,867 --> 00:00:36,700
[Charlie]
Everybody out of the way.
17
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:38,266
We got the drill
coming in now.
18
00:00:38,266 --> 00:00:43,166
...with his plan to drillinto the keyhole cavernbeneath the Energy Zone.
19
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,266
That lightning's
two miles away.
20
00:00:47,266 --> 00:00:50,533
-[thunderclap]
-[bleep]
21
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,567
[thunder rumbling]
22
00:01:04,867 --> 00:01:06,166
[Chad] This whole area,for some reason,
23
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:08,400
we can't get
[bleep] done here.
24
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,600
We keep on pushing,and it keeps onfighting back.
25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,734
The storm coming.
26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,900
Lighting and all kinds
of crazy [bleep]
27
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:17,767
I mean, it seemslike a coincidence.
28
00:01:17,767 --> 00:01:20,100
But whatever it is,it's always the case, though,
29
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:22,066
when we're out herein the Energy Zone.
30
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:24,567
Hopefully the weather clears.
31
00:01:24,567 --> 00:01:26,266
We'll havebetter luck tomorrow.
32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,266
-How we doing, Oscar?
-[Oscar] Pretty good, man.
33
00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:50,367
[Chad] We'll be able
to tell we're in a void
34
00:01:50,367 --> 00:01:52,166
-'cause it will just drop off?
-[Oscar] Yeah. Yeah.
35
00:01:52,166 --> 00:01:53,467
[Chad] All right, perfect.
36
00:01:53,467 --> 00:01:56,767
[narrator]
After a sudden thunderstormshut the team down,
37
00:01:56,767 --> 00:02:00,166
Oscar moves the rathole rigback into position.
38
00:02:00,166 --> 00:02:01,166
Nice.
39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,166
[narrator]
The weather has cleared,
40
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:05,333
and the teamcan resume drilling.
41
00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:09,367
Weeks earlier,they discovered a vent shaft
42
00:02:09,367 --> 00:02:13,500
leading 125 feet downinto the Energy Zone.
43
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,266
[James] Look at that [bleep].
44
00:02:15,266 --> 00:02:17,800
[narrator] But they don'twant to risk a collapse,
45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,900
so they'redrilling a new shaftparallel to the vent,
46
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:23,100
using it as a guideto orient them toward
47
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,533
the cavernous chamber below.
48
00:02:26,166 --> 00:02:27,166
[James]
This is really exciting.
49
00:02:27,166 --> 00:02:29,367
We've been waitingfor this for weeks.
50
00:02:29,367 --> 00:02:32,667
And I wanna findsome treasure today.
51
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:34,000
I wanna
at least find an entrance
52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,867
into where the artefacts
and the treasure is at.
53
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:38,867
[Chad] Here we go.
This is it.
54
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:40,800
We're gonna find that
[bleep] cavern today, boys.
55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,166
-[James] Oh.
-Hell yeah.
56
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:49,066
[Chad] Yeah. At least.
57
00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:52,000
The vent shaftgoes 125 feet down.
58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,767
We need to keep on going
till we find something.
59
00:02:54,767 --> 00:02:57,533
-[Oscar] I'll keep going.
-Let's do it, boys.
Hell, yeah.
60
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,734
We've been drillingout here for years now,and this could be the one.
61
00:03:06,667 --> 00:03:09,333
Man, this is no [bleep].
We can [bleep] hit it today.
62
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:34,233
[Chad] What's it
look like, Art?
63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,367
-Is it?
-[Art] Yeah.
64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,300
Few parts.
We'll see right now.
65
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,767
[narrator] The rainstormhas created a wet layerof dirt,
66
00:03:43,767 --> 00:03:46,667
but the drill operators thinkit's only near the surface,
67
00:03:46,667 --> 00:03:50,367
and thefurther down they drill,the drier it will get.
68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,066
-[Art] Yeah.
-We're still all right,
though.
69
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:54,600
-[Art] Yeah.
-It's dry right there.
70
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,800
[Art] Yeah,
that's what I was saying.
71
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,233
-If it just sits
for a minute, then yeah.
-[Chad] All right.
72
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:01,300
-It's not bad. Good.
-Yeah.
73
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:05,100
So, uh, there's a littlemoisture in the dirt there.
74
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,667
As we're drilling,
there's some seepage in there.
75
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,166
But it's still not too bad.
76
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:12,300
Like, if, uh...
If it gets much worse,
77
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,867
and it turns into a mud,
it's a problem.
78
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:16,333
But right now, we're okay.
79
00:04:20,567 --> 00:04:22,000
What we got, Oscar?
80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,333
How far?
81
00:04:25,367 --> 00:04:26,967
[Chad] Ninety feet?
82
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,834
[James] So, my magnetometerput the top of that cavernat about 120 feet.
83
00:04:50,266 --> 00:04:53,266
And right now,
we're almost at 90.
84
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:55,266
With any luck,we'll punch through soon.
85
00:05:03,467 --> 00:05:05,266
[Duane] What the [bleep]?
86
00:05:05,266 --> 00:05:08,567
-[horn tooting]
-[man] Now.
87
00:05:08,567 --> 00:05:10,400
-That's [bleep] blue dirt.
-[Chad] What?
88
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,367
That's blue dirt down there.
89
00:05:12,367 --> 00:05:13,667
-Is it?
-Yeah.
90
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:19,967
[narrator]
After drilling down 90 feet,
91
00:05:19,967 --> 00:05:21,700
the soil compositionhas changed
92
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,934
from dry sedimentary dirtto a strange blue clay.
93
00:05:26,867 --> 00:05:29,367
Hey, stop the drill! Hey!
94
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,634
Kill it.
95
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:37,667
-This is that blue dirt
he was talking about.
-[Charlie] Holy [bleep].
96
00:05:37,667 --> 00:05:39,000
-[Chad] It's hard to drill?
-[Oscar] Yeah.
97
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,867
-[Chad] Yeah?
-Yeah.
98
00:05:40,867 --> 00:05:44,467
[narrator] Duane claimshe has seen this dirtbefore on the ranch.
99
00:05:44,467 --> 00:05:47,533
And according to locals,it's a bad omen.
100
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,033
[James] So, it's like
a blue clay.
101
00:05:54,467 --> 00:05:55,567
That's it.
102
00:05:57,467 --> 00:05:58,967
That's [bleep] it.
103
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:03,467
-Is it hard to
drill through this stuff?
-Yeah, it's hard, you know.
104
00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:04,667
-[Chad] It's hard?
-[Oscar] Yeah.
105
00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:07,100
All right. So how much more
do you want to keep going?
106
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,433
-Till we get to the cavern
gotta keep going.
-Okay.
107
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,266
-[horn toots]
-Drill!
108
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:14,867
[Chad] Damn. That's loud.
109
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,233
Don't give a [bleep].
110
00:06:18,667 --> 00:06:20,233
All right, let's go.
111
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:45,333
[Chad]
How's the drilling, man?
112
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,133
-[Art] So slow.
-Slow?
113
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:52,867
It's still not wet, though.
114
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:55,400
What do you think?
115
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,433
[Chad] Yeah?
116
00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:01,500
-[Oscar] That's what we got.
-[Chad] Oh, [bleep].
117
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,867
-You see, it's barely moving.
-Yeah, yeah.
118
00:07:09,667 --> 00:07:11,967
[narrator]
The drill is workingthrough the thick clay
119
00:07:11,967 --> 00:07:14,567
at a rate of two feetevery hour,
120
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:17,066
which is five times slowerthan usual.
121
00:07:18,066 --> 00:07:20,100
Oscar was thinking,
like, two to four hours.
122
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,734
We're sitting at,
like, seven hours now.
123
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:25,667
[Chad grunts]
124
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,300
It's stuck.
125
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:31,133
-It hasn't moved at all.
-Yeah.
126
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:38,266
[metallic scraping]
127
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:40,066
[James] That sounds hard.
128
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:42,734
That's hard.
129
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,934
[James] Yeah.
130
00:08:01,767 --> 00:08:04,000
It just hit
something hard, hard
131
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,333
'cause it's really slow,
he said, the drill.
132
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,233
You think this is
what slowed us down?
133
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:24,767
[Ryan] Chad.
134
00:08:27,567 --> 00:08:29,000
They're grinding down there,
135
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,333
and this, I guess,
is some of the stone
that they're grinding.
136
00:08:34,266 --> 00:08:37,567
-You see it's got, like,
reflective properties to it.
-[Chad] Yeah.
137
00:08:37,567 --> 00:08:39,066
-[Ryan] Crystals or something.
-[Chad] Right.
138
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,400
This stuff is super hard.
He's still at 98 feet.
139
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,033
This is the [bleep] that
you're drilling through
right now.
140
00:08:46,767 --> 00:08:49,100
So, this isstill that blue dirt.
141
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:53,300
And the further we get down,
there's, like, black chunks
in there that are, uh...
142
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:54,333
That we haven't seen before.
143
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,867
[metal detector beeping]
144
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:11,166
[Chad]
Charlie, what did you find?
145
00:09:12,467 --> 00:09:14,934
[Charlie]
It's more of those rocks
you've been finding.
146
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:19,767
Really?
147
00:09:19,767 --> 00:09:21,467
[Charlie] We've beendrilling up here for years
148
00:09:21,467 --> 00:09:22,667
and saw and done
enough drilling.
149
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:24,900
I know what,
what the rocks looks like
150
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:27,500
when they spin offthe, the drill.
151
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,900
Uh, that thing spun out,and it went furtherthan any other rock,
152
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:33,200
indicatingthat it was heavier.
153
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,867
It was a lot heavier
than a normal rock,
and it was more black.
154
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,567
It did set offthe metal detector
155
00:09:39,567 --> 00:09:42,767
and with a very highiron content.
156
00:09:42,767 --> 00:09:44,800
Looked like a chunk of metal.
157
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,967
Where it's coming from?I have no idea.
158
00:09:50,367 --> 00:09:52,133
Oh, this is...
This is strange.
159
00:09:54,767 --> 00:09:56,467
[James] It still needs
to be tested, too,
160
00:09:56,467 --> 00:09:57,467
-before we jump--
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
161
00:09:57,467 --> 00:10:00,867
Hey, Chad, look at the dirt,
take it over here,
162
00:10:00,867 --> 00:10:02,467
but let's get back
to drilling.
163
00:10:02,467 --> 00:10:03,967
[Chad] Let's keep
going, Oscar.
164
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:10,667
In all these clumps
of clay down there,
165
00:10:10,667 --> 00:10:15,400
we're finding these dark,
blueish, metal-looking
nodules.
166
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,867
Is this giving it
some kind of unique properties
that energize the Energy Zone?
167
00:10:19,867 --> 00:10:21,233
I think we should
have it analyzed.
168
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:24,100
[Charlie] Sending 'em offand have 'em tested
169
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:26,100
could help us
come up with the answers
170
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,166
as to whysome of this weirdnessgoes on up here
171
00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:33,300
as far as the energyand, and the equipmentnot working properly,
172
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:34,700
batteries draining.
173
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,333
There's just been
a lot of weirdness
that goes on up here.
174
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:47,934
I don't know if I've ever
not seen this place
cause havoc on something.
175
00:10:52,166 --> 00:10:54,266
-What do you think?
-They're hard as [bleep].
176
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:55,900
-It's getting harder?
-Yeah.
177
00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:57,967
This could be
the top of the cave.
178
00:10:57,967 --> 00:10:59,634
-'Cause that's
hard as [bleep].
-[Oscar] Yeah.
179
00:11:01,467 --> 00:11:04,166
Yeah.
180
00:11:04,166 --> 00:11:06,400
We've been drilling here
all damn day.
181
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,433
And based on that scan,
we're only ten feet away
from punching in the cave.
182
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,533
Yeah.
183
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:26,467
[Chad grunts]
184
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:29,000
[narrator] To pierce throughthe hard layer of rock,
185
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,166
the drill team mustswap out the tiger teethon the drill bit
186
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:35,767
with new teeththat are strong enoughto grind through.
187
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:37,767
I talked to Jeff.
He has to go get
more teeth for the...
188
00:11:37,767 --> 00:11:39,200
For the drill bit.
189
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,767
You know, I thought
today was gonna be
a smooth and easy day,
190
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:43,500
just jump in and...
191
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,000
I was, kind of,
hoping that we...
192
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,967
You know, we would
have still stayed in the,
the, um, clay.
193
00:11:48,967 --> 00:11:51,000
-[Chad] Yeah.
-'Cause it would have
made it a lot better.
194
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
We passed the clay
and went straight
to something else now.
195
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,834
-[Chad] Something super hard.
-Yeah.
196
00:11:56,166 --> 00:11:58,400
-[Chad] Hey.
-[Duane] Yeah.
197
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,667
[Chad] They're out of teeth.
198
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:02,300
-He's having
to go get some more.
-[bleep]
199
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:04,000
And we're still stuck.
200
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,700
Just one more thing.
201
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:07,934
-[James] I hope it solves it.
-[Jeff] Yeah.
202
00:12:10,367 --> 00:12:13,300
[Chad] So, yeah,it's like something beyondour control out here.
203
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:15,567
I mean, we keep on pushing,
and it keeps on fighting back.
204
00:12:15,567 --> 00:12:17,934
We've had more [bleep] todaythan, than ever.
205
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,266
Oh, [bleep].
206
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,266
[Duane bleep] this.
207
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:32,567
[Charlie] Oh, man.
208
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:38,867
-[Duane] Emery.
-[Emery] Duane, Chad, Charlie.
209
00:12:38,867 --> 00:12:40,700
[narrator]
While the drill crew works,
210
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:46,166
biomedical expert Emery Smithhas returned to the ranchwith his findings.
211
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:48,200
I finally got the report back.
212
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,467
[narrator] Duane asked Emeryto investigate a mutilateddeer carcass...
213
00:12:52,467 --> 00:12:56,567
Multiple spinal fractures.
214
00:12:56,567 --> 00:13:00,266
...as well as strange tracksthat led out of the pondto Beaver Creek...
215
00:13:00,266 --> 00:13:03,100
[Charlie] These are
fresh overnight tracks.
216
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,667
...where Charliecaptured a photo
217
00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:07,367
of an unusual animalin the water.
218
00:13:07,367 --> 00:13:08,834
This is what I got.
219
00:13:11,367 --> 00:13:13,600
[narrator] After collectingsamples from the pond,
220
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,867
Emery analyzed themagainst his DNA database
221
00:13:16,867 --> 00:13:19,066
and has his findings.
222
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:23,000
[Emery] This is
the results of the DNA.
223
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,166
[Duane bleep]
Tell us what that means.
224
00:13:25,166 --> 00:13:26,967
We ran it through
this database.
225
00:13:27,767 --> 00:13:30,867
The majority of it
is snake DNA.
226
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:33,467
But to survive
this cold weather here,
227
00:13:33,467 --> 00:13:35,266
it's not normal
for a regular snake.
228
00:13:35,266 --> 00:13:40,166
And it has other DNA that,
they're prehistoric.
229
00:13:40,166 --> 00:13:41,667
That's just incredible.
230
00:13:42,767 --> 00:13:47,166
Because they're
part of that being
that we don't know.
231
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,467
[Emery] The majority of it
is snake DNA.
232
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:59,500
But it is has other DNA that,
they're prehistoric.
233
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:03,600
[narrator] Biomedical expertEmery Smith has returnedto Blind Frog Ranch
234
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,567
with the DNA resultsof his findings
235
00:14:05,567 --> 00:14:08,300
from the water samplestaken from the pond.
236
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:12,600
-There's part of that being
that we don't know.
-[Chad] Right.
237
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,000
But this is something
that's been around
for a long time.
238
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,567
So, what do you think this is?
Like, some kind of snake?
239
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:21,166
To survive this
cold weather here, you know,
240
00:14:21,166 --> 00:14:22,867
it's not normal
for a regular snake.
241
00:14:22,867 --> 00:14:24,800
-A snake can't be out here.
-[Chad] Yeah.
242
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,467
-[Emery] Tropical
python or anaconda.
-[Chad] Right.
243
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:31,166
It's impossible
that something has survived.
244
00:14:31,166 --> 00:14:33,066
But in a cave system...
245
00:14:33,066 --> 00:14:35,066
That stays the same
in a cave system.
246
00:14:35,867 --> 00:14:38,667
So you might have
a large biosphere
247
00:14:38,667 --> 00:14:41,367
under Blind Frog Ranch
is what I'm getting at.
248
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:46,500
It's some sort of
prehistoric creature.
249
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:48,467
There's a whole ecosystem,apparently,
250
00:14:48,467 --> 00:14:50,734
that's alive and welldown there.
251
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:57,567
This serpent,
more than likely,
252
00:14:57,567 --> 00:14:59,700
has to have been
living underground
253
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:01,767
hundreds of years
to be that big.
254
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:03,700
Thanks, guys.
255
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:05,900
That's worse
than what I thought.
256
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,600
[Chad] Well, you think
if it's prehistoric,
257
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,200
that explains how it's so big,
like a--
258
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,667
Yeah. And has all those
armor-plating scales on it
and stuff.
259
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:16,567
That's pretty wild, boys.
That's pretty wild.
260
00:15:16,567 --> 00:15:20,967
He's right. I mean,
a snake is not gonna be
in this cold climate.
261
00:15:20,967 --> 00:15:23,700
Well, let's just let him,
figure this out
262
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:26,133
and we'll get back
to drilling.
263
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,100
[Chad] So, we got
fresh teeth on it
so she's comfortable, huh?
264
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,567
-[Art] Yeah.
-[Chad] Nice.
265
00:15:36,567 --> 00:15:40,367
[narrator] After hittinga hard rocky layerat a depth of 100 feet,
266
00:15:40,367 --> 00:15:43,000
the rat-rig teamhas replaced the drill teeth
267
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
so that they can cut throughthe next 20 feet of rock
268
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,467
and penetratethe keyhole cavern.
269
00:15:48,467 --> 00:15:50,033
-[Jeff] Turn.
-[Art] There you go.
270
00:15:53,567 --> 00:15:55,467
[Chad]
Watch that [bleep] hole, man.
271
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,467
Whoa, whoa.
272
00:16:01,467 --> 00:16:03,000
[bleep]
273
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,066
God damn. You almost fell
in the [bleep] hole, man.
274
00:16:05,066 --> 00:16:06,700
[Charlie] Yeah, I saw that.
275
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,266
[Chad] When I sawhis foot slip in there,almost had a heart attack.
276
00:16:09,266 --> 00:16:12,667
Anyone gets in the hole,it's over,you know.
277
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:14,333
Someone would have died today.
278
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:16,166
Watch that [bleep] hole.
279
00:16:30,367 --> 00:16:31,333
[Chad] Send it.
280
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,100
[James]
We're almost at the depth
281
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,266
that the magnetometerwas showing.
282
00:16:36,266 --> 00:16:39,000
Hopefully,in the right place.
283
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
The depththat we're at right nowis almost 120 feet,
284
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,967
so technically
we're right there
285
00:16:44,967 --> 00:16:47,634
and just haven't hit it yet.
286
00:16:59,166 --> 00:17:00,967
[narrator]
For the past two hours,
287
00:17:00,967 --> 00:17:03,367
the drill has been makingminimal progress.
288
00:17:03,367 --> 00:17:07,066
However, Oscar and his teamstart to pull upsome promising signs.
289
00:17:10,367 --> 00:17:12,467
[Chad] Damn.
Look at the size of that rock.
290
00:17:12,467 --> 00:17:14,767
[Art] See where
the bit was spinning
on the top of that?
291
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:16,700
[Chad] Looks like,
kind of, sandstone,
but it's a different color.
292
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,000
It's another layer.
293
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,166
-That's why we weren't
going down an inch.
-Ah, makes sense.
294
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:22,700
-[Art] Yeah.
-It wasn't cutting at all.
295
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:23,934
[Art] Yeah.
296
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,166
[James] This is what
it was just bouncing off of.
297
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:31,700
[Charlie] It's a big
chunk of sandstone.
298
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:34,367
That tells you
what that drill bit's
doing, though.
299
00:17:34,367 --> 00:17:37,367
-[James] Yeah, finally was
able to break through.
-[Charlie] Yeah.
300
00:17:37,367 --> 00:17:39,367
[James]
It's got a thick ceiling.
301
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:43,467
[Charlie] That's a cave wall.
302
00:17:43,467 --> 00:17:46,567
-Ceiling's what that is.
-[Duane] Yup. Gotta be.
303
00:17:46,567 --> 00:17:48,000
That's hard as [bleep].
304
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,333
-That's why this whole
[bleep] went caving in.
-Yeah.
305
00:17:54,667 --> 00:17:57,567
[narrator] Caverns arelined with thick layersof stone and rock
306
00:17:57,567 --> 00:17:59,667
that support the weightof the earth above
307
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:02,767
and keep the cavern wallsfrom collapsing.
308
00:18:02,767 --> 00:18:05,367
After passing throughthe mysterious blue dirt
309
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:07,367
embedded with shards of metal,
310
00:18:07,367 --> 00:18:10,400
the team has now entereda dense layer of sandstone
311
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,433
which they believeto be the ceilingof the cavern below.
312
00:18:14,767 --> 00:18:17,400
It's unclearhow thick the ceiling is.
313
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,066
But if they can breach it,
314
00:18:19,066 --> 00:18:21,367
it could meanthey've finally gained access
315
00:18:21,367 --> 00:18:24,567
to the mysterious chamberdiscovered bythe quantum team
316
00:18:24,567 --> 00:18:26,467
earlier this winter.
317
00:18:26,467 --> 00:18:29,567
That circle
under the Energy Zone
does look manmade.
318
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:31,233
No doubt.
319
00:18:55,266 --> 00:18:57,834
-I can hear it, I can hear it.
Rubbing the wall. Yeah.
-Yeah.
320
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,767
[Oscar] Yeah.
321
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:16,266
[Oscar] Yeah.
322
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,266
[Chad grunts]
323
00:19:21,266 --> 00:19:22,767
[Chad] So, we gota setback right now.
324
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:25,700
Uh, problem is,the slope of this rock
325
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:27,967
is making
the drill go that way
326
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:31,367
and, uh,it's causing a lot of hell.
327
00:19:31,367 --> 00:19:33,767
We could be,
what, ten feet off?
328
00:19:33,767 --> 00:19:35,767
Oh, I don't know. We'll see.
329
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,533
[Chad] Oh, [bleep].
330
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,100
[narrator]
As the drill continuesto labor through
331
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,800
the stone layer that coversthe keyhole cavern,
332
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,467
Drillmaster Oscarhas realized thatthe drill bit is sliding.
333
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:56,467
It indicatesthat the rock layer coveringthe cave must be rounded,
334
00:19:56,467 --> 00:19:59,767
like a vaulted ceilingor shell.
335
00:19:59,767 --> 00:20:03,867
But the curve is causingthe drill to deviate.
336
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:06,667
If the drill continuesto veer off course,
337
00:20:06,667 --> 00:20:09,266
the team might missthe keyhole cavern entirely,
338
00:20:09,266 --> 00:20:13,000
and would be forcedto start the drilling processover again,
339
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,967
or it could even collapsethe cavern below.
340
00:20:26,367 --> 00:20:30,000
[Chad] He got to that shell,and he's pushing hard on it.
341
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,867
And, uh, that rockis on a slope.
342
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:35,166
So what happens is
it just pushes...
343
00:20:35,166 --> 00:20:37,567
...angle going towards him.
344
00:20:37,567 --> 00:20:41,367
So, uh... [bleep]
345
00:20:46,467 --> 00:20:47,767
[ominous instrumental music]
346
00:20:47,767 --> 00:20:49,300
[Chad] I talked to Oscar.
347
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,900
He's saying that the hole
has a bend in it
from the rocks.
348
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:55,400
-Yeah.
-So the rocks are like that
and he got to here,
349
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,500
and he's pushing hard on it
so it's shifting
350
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,100
and going back towards it.
351
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,033
Yeah, it's crooked right now.
That's why it's taking so long
to get it in there.
352
00:21:06,367 --> 00:21:08,800
[narrator] As the teamhits 110 feet,
353
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,667
they have encountereda dense rock layer
354
00:21:10,667 --> 00:21:15,600
that is causing their drillto bend and veer off path.
355
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,066
[Chad] We're just tryingto slow it down a little bit.Keep it straight as we can.
356
00:21:27,166 --> 00:21:29,066
[drill whirring]
357
00:21:29,066 --> 00:21:30,634
[Charlie] Well, that
doesn't sound good.
358
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:36,500
-You hear that grinding?
He's not at the bottom.
-[Charlie] What?
359
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:39,367
It's grinding
'cause it's rubbing
on the way down.
360
00:21:39,367 --> 00:21:41,467
So when he gets to the...
He's not even drilling
at the bottom.
361
00:21:41,467 --> 00:21:44,233
So he's grinding
all the way down
'cause it has a curve in it.
362
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,000
[narrator] In orderto penetrate the cavern,
363
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,934
they need the drillto lock into a straight,vertical position.
364
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,867
What do you think, Oscar?
365
00:22:03,867 --> 00:22:06,767
-It's still not locking up?
-[Oscar] It's still not
locking up.
366
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,266
Yeah. Oh, [bleep]
367
00:22:16,266 --> 00:22:17,734
[tense instrumental music]
368
00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:22,767
[narrator] As the drill headslides alongthe rock layer below,
369
00:22:22,767 --> 00:22:25,867
it is causing the rig'sKelly bar, or Kelly,
370
00:22:25,867 --> 00:22:29,467
to spin and benddue to the immense torque.
371
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:34,433
If it gives out,the cost would beover $100,000.
372
00:22:35,367 --> 00:22:37,500
-What would break it?
-No.
373
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:39,100
-What would break it?
-How?
374
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:41,266
What would?
Yeah, how could you break it?
375
00:22:41,266 --> 00:22:43,133
Uh, if...
376
00:22:51,567 --> 00:22:52,767
Yeah.
377
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,200
I don't know what we hitdown there,
378
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,467
but whatever we hit,it's as hard as diamonds.
379
00:22:58,467 --> 00:23:01,166
I doubt that
even a bigger drill
could push through this.
380
00:23:02,266 --> 00:23:04,000
What could happenis the drill could break,
381
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,166
or there could be a collapseand someone could die, man.So we can't enter in here.
382
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:11,600
-[Duane] Time to call it.
Let's do it.
-[Charlie] Yeah.
383
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,133
-Tell 'em. Shut it down.
-[Charlie] Okay.
384
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:16,433
[whistles]
385
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:24,066
Same [bleep] again.
386
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,567
Yeah, this really is
so disappointing for me.
387
00:23:30,567 --> 00:23:35,567
I mean, this was a big day.
This was supposed to be
a target point hit today,
388
00:23:35,567 --> 00:23:40,567
and [bleep] So it's
a very disappointing day
for me.
389
00:23:40,567 --> 00:23:42,634
I'm kinda pissed off,
to be honest with you.
390
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,700
No drilling now.
391
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:49,567
We're almost there. It'd be
a shame for all of this
to have been a waste.
392
00:23:49,567 --> 00:23:50,767
-[Charlie] Yeah.
-Yeah.
393
00:23:50,767 --> 00:23:52,467
[Charlie] We'll figure out
a way to get through it.
394
00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:56,367
Every time we seem to be
at this energy zone area,
395
00:23:56,367 --> 00:23:57,967
we're being thwarted
by something.
396
00:23:57,967 --> 00:24:01,000
You know, you just can't helpbut believe, you know,
397
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,567
that there is somethingto the phenomena that occurshere in the Uinta Basin
398
00:24:04,567 --> 00:24:06,166
and in the Uinta Mountains.
399
00:24:06,166 --> 00:24:09,667
It just sucks. We're dead
in the water at this point.
400
00:24:09,667 --> 00:24:11,400
We were almost there.
401
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,867
We almost had it.
402
00:24:12,867 --> 00:24:15,800
[Charlie] That's just about
as disappointing
as you can get right there.
403
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,634
[Duane] We'll call in
some folks and bring in
some gap.
404
00:24:19,367 --> 00:24:21,333
Let's get the hell
out of here, fellas.
405
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,233
[dramatic instrumental music]
406
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:36,467
We really gotta find out
what the hell is going on
over there.
407
00:24:36,467 --> 00:24:40,467
[narrator] After strikingan impenetrable rock layerin the energy zone,
408
00:24:40,467 --> 00:24:43,634
Duane has phoneda familiar friendfor some help.
409
00:24:45,867 --> 00:24:48,066
[Charlie] So what have we got
going on?
410
00:24:48,066 --> 00:24:51,667
I got a hold of Stephen Leeah
and he's sending
somebody else out.
411
00:24:51,667 --> 00:24:55,100
[narrator] Stephen Leeahand his team uncoveredthe keyhole cavern
412
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,667
lurking below the energy zone.
413
00:24:57,667 --> 00:25:01,433
[Stephen] You've got a tunnel,or pathways,inside your mountain.
414
00:25:02,166 --> 00:25:04,100
Now, what's that doing here?
415
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:05,767
[narrator] And Duane is hopinghe can figure out
416
00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:09,100
what is preventing the drillfrom breaching the cavern.
417
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:10,500
Who's he sending out?
418
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:13,967
[Duane] He's sending Dave,
who's an expert.
419
00:25:13,967 --> 00:25:17,300
[Dave] Electromagneticradiation is all aroundin the environment
420
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,300
and, from that,we're able to deduce patterns
421
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:22,166
about what could be happening
in a physical level.
422
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:25,934
[Duane] And then,
there's Michael Boyd coming,
and he's the real deal.
423
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:28,333
There they are.
424
00:25:30,166 --> 00:25:31,567
-Hey, hey.
-[Dave] How's it going?
425
00:25:31,567 --> 00:25:33,467
-[Chad] What's up, Dave?
How you doing, man?
-It's good to see you again.
426
00:25:33,467 --> 00:25:35,367
-Yeah, welcome back, brother.
-Thank you so much.
427
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,367
-Yeah. Hell, yeah.
-This is Michael Boyd
428
00:25:37,367 --> 00:25:38,467
Hey.
429
00:25:38,467 --> 00:25:39,867
-Charlie.
Good to see you, my friend.
-Good to see ya.
430
00:25:39,867 --> 00:25:42,400
-I'm liking the ponytail, man.
Doing the long hair.
-[Michael] Yeah.
431
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,266
I get a haircut
every year or so,
432
00:25:45,266 --> 00:25:49,367
and I tell 'em,
"Business in front,
party in the back,
433
00:25:49,367 --> 00:25:52,166
-archaeologist all the time."
-[all chuckling]
434
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:55,467
[narrator] Michael Boydis a quantum physicistand archaeologist
435
00:25:55,467 --> 00:25:58,700
who has been conductingfield researchfor Stephen Leeah
436
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,166
for over a decade.
437
00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:04,367
[Michael] Stephen told us
to come look at
what you guys are finding,
438
00:26:04,367 --> 00:26:07,867
that you've been drilling
and finding all kinds
of cool stuff.
439
00:26:07,867 --> 00:26:10,100
Take this inside
so we can start
taking a look at things.
440
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,533
Perfect. Perfect.
That's what we're here for.
441
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:18,233
[Dave] Give me just a second
to get set up here.
442
00:26:20,867 --> 00:26:23,533
-[line ringing]
-Okay.
443
00:26:24,567 --> 00:26:26,567
That's it. Oh, here it comes.
444
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:27,767
-Well, hello.
-[laughing]
445
00:26:27,767 --> 00:26:31,166
-[Dave] All right.
-The presentation right there.
446
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:33,166
Welcome to my spread.
447
00:26:33,166 --> 00:26:37,266
-Baguettes, jambon, croissant.
-[Chad] What are you
doing there?
448
00:26:37,266 --> 00:26:41,066
We've been workingon European outreach here.
449
00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:43,133
We're in the beginninggenesis of it.
450
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:46,667
Duane, what's your problem?
451
00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:49,300
We're drilling down
where your scan was, and--
452
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:53,000
My God, Duane,
you digging down
in that black hole?
453
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,100
Are you crazy?
454
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:56,667
That's not the point, Stephen.
I've always been crazy.
455
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:59,367
What do you need
our help with?
456
00:26:59,367 --> 00:27:01,266
So we drilled right over here,
457
00:27:01,266 --> 00:27:02,900
right at the base of the key,
458
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:06,600
just pushing on something
that's super hard
that we can't get through.
459
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,567
[Mike] Did you hit
a hard pan or anything?
460
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:12,300
-[Duane] We did hit hard pan
down about 100 foot going in.
-Yeah.
461
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:14,967
-Took us forever
to drill through it.
-[Mike] Okay.
462
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:17,600
So there's a couple of things
that could be going on.
463
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,567
Some natural phenomena
464
00:27:19,567 --> 00:27:23,867
that's due to the features
that we have here
that we see underground.
465
00:27:23,867 --> 00:27:26,900
Basically, what's going on is,
where you have the dark area,
466
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:28,967
that's a higher density area.
467
00:27:28,967 --> 00:27:31,767
And, then, these other areas
are lower density.
468
00:27:32,767 --> 00:27:34,700
[narrator] Michael believesthe quantum scan
469
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:36,567
shows the centerof the keyhole cavern
470
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:39,867
to be much more densethan the surrounding rock.
471
00:27:39,867 --> 00:27:43,166
But whether it's a hard rockmaking up a cave ceiling,
472
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:47,233
or something else entirely,it is still unknown.
473
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:51,700
-It seems like that we have
a perfect place to hide stuff.
-Right.
474
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:56,400
It could be something to do
with the Aztec, possibly.
475
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,266
It makes sense
that you might have
hit something down below.
476
00:28:01,266 --> 00:28:03,767
It could be
some kind of energy
477
00:28:03,767 --> 00:28:05,767
that we don't
quite understand yet.
478
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:09,734
I'm not quite sure what it is,
but there's something big
out there.
479
00:28:11,967 --> 00:28:13,300
[narrator] Coming up...
480
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:16,600
[Mike] Okay, everybody,just step three footat the same time.
481
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,367
[narrator] The quantum teaminvestigates the areaaround the energy zone...
482
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:22,567
[Mike] Look at that.
483
00:28:22,567 --> 00:28:24,467
[Dave] I mean,
you can even see, like,
the impact.
484
00:28:24,467 --> 00:28:26,266
Like it crash-landed into it.
485
00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:28,166
[narrator] ...leading toa shocking discovery.
486
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:31,634
It all started
with a meteorite impact.
487
00:28:35,367 --> 00:28:36,467
[tense instrumental music]
488
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:39,600
[Mike] You might've
hit something down below.
489
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,700
It could be something to do
with the Aztec.
490
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:47,300
I'm not quite sure what it is,
but there's something big
out there.
491
00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:51,000
Okay, guys, listen,
you know the drill,
492
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
I need time progression.
493
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,767
I'm gonna need video footage,
494
00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:58,567
some deeper scans,
and see what's going on
in there.
495
00:28:58,567 --> 00:29:03,000
I need more data.I need dirt, I need samplesout of that ground.
496
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
You got it.
497
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Duane, Chad,
great seeing you all again,
498
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
but my wife's calling me.We got dinner to go to.
499
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,867
We're going to eat
some snails tonight.
500
00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:14,767
-[laughing]
-Pray for me.
501
00:29:14,767 --> 00:29:18,467
[narrator] Chad and the teamtake Michael and Daveto the energy zone drill site
502
00:29:18,467 --> 00:29:20,166
to investigate the area.
503
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:21,967
[Chad] Yeah, right there
is where we poked the hole.
504
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,567
So that's where we found
the balls, the blue dirt,
505
00:29:26,567 --> 00:29:31,634
and that's where we hit
that super hard object,
whatever it was, at 120 foot.
506
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,033
We've had hell with this site.
507
00:29:36,367 --> 00:29:38,300
We drilled it and we hit
something solid.
508
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:39,767
We couldn't go any further
through that.
509
00:29:39,767 --> 00:29:43,367
[Charlie] We hit
and it just smoothed
our bits off.
510
00:29:43,367 --> 00:29:46,300
And they were good bits.
They were sharp, they had
tiger teeth on them,
511
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:51,100
they were raw to bits.
So it is a hard sumbut
down there.
512
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,367
This is some of that mud
that we've been pulling out
right there.
513
00:29:54,367 --> 00:29:58,266
It's wet.
It's just as wet as ever.
514
00:29:58,266 --> 00:30:02,367
Certain elements
produce a blue color
when they're oxidized.
515
00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:04,266
And how deep did you hit
the blue sand?
516
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:07,367
I think that was around
80 foot or something
like that.
517
00:30:07,367 --> 00:30:10,000
[Mike] Oh, boy, that's deep.
518
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,100
What I'm gonna suggest we do
is we survey up above here.
519
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:17,300
So what we wanna do
is some transects,
it's called.
520
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:19,467
[narrator] Transectis a field survey method
521
00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:23,300
where collectorsmove in unisonalong a fixed path.
522
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:26,066
By measuring the distancesbetween similar objects,
523
00:30:26,066 --> 00:30:30,233
they can generatea scientific sampleof the ground composition.
524
00:30:31,867 --> 00:30:36,100
Okay, so what we're gonna do
is we're all gonna line up
five feet apart.
525
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,767
I'm gonna give you each
a few of these flags
526
00:30:38,767 --> 00:30:40,266
and, then, we're gonna
walk together
527
00:30:40,266 --> 00:30:43,166
and we're gonna look down
and see if we see anything.
528
00:30:43,166 --> 00:30:44,967
Okay, let's line up.
529
00:30:44,967 --> 00:30:47,367
[narrator] Michael hopesthe survey will identify
530
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:49,266
localized minerals and objects
531
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:51,800
to give him insighton the geological forces
532
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,767
that make the energy zoneso unique
533
00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:59,233
and tell themwhat's protecting the cavernfrom being breached.
534
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,467
Okay, everybody, just step
three foot at the same time.
535
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:07,567
You see something,
put it down.
536
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:10,333
[tense instrumental music]
537
00:31:12,667 --> 00:31:14,634
Anyone see anything cool yet?
538
00:31:16,967 --> 00:31:19,066
[Duane] There's a [bleep]
Does that count?
539
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:26,934
[Charlie] There's something
that's kinda interesting.
540
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,066
[Ryan] I got one.
541
00:31:36,066 --> 00:31:40,367
It looks like another one
of those weird nugget,
542
00:31:40,367 --> 00:31:41,934
metal-looking nodules.
543
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,367
Whatever these things are,
544
00:31:44,367 --> 00:31:46,367
these little molten nodules,
545
00:31:46,367 --> 00:31:50,100
I've never, never,
come across these anywhere
throughout the basin.
546
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:54,000
And I've spent 17 years
going to all these various
paranormal hotspots,
547
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,533
spending time in the desert.
548
00:31:56,166 --> 00:31:57,533
The hell are these things?
549
00:31:59,467 --> 00:32:01,233
Yeah, there's...
there's a lot of them
in there.
550
00:32:07,867 --> 00:32:10,100
Look at that.
551
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:13,066
I see something
embedded in the rock there.
552
00:32:13,567 --> 00:32:15,133
That's something else.
553
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:18,767
I gotta take a picture
of that.
554
00:32:18,767 --> 00:32:22,266
[Dave] I mean, you can
even see, like, the impact,
a kind of depressed...
555
00:32:22,266 --> 00:32:24,433
Like it crash-landed into it.
556
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:43,867
Oh, right here. Looks like
it might be a stone artefact.
557
00:32:44,767 --> 00:32:47,667
Check that out. Wow!
558
00:32:47,667 --> 00:32:49,667
That's awesome.
559
00:32:49,667 --> 00:32:52,533
-[Ryan] And it's obsidian.
-[Mike] Look at that.
560
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,667
That's beautiful.
561
00:32:54,667 --> 00:32:56,266
[Ryan] You can see
where it's been worked.
562
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:58,800
[Mike] That edge is sharper
than steel.
563
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,867
Obsidian was like money
to Native Americans.
564
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:04,166
They called it black gold.
565
00:33:04,166 --> 00:33:07,467
When we do
our geological research
on this area,
566
00:33:07,467 --> 00:33:10,800
I'm hopeful that we'll find
some evidence
567
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,066
of this volcanic rock
in the area.
568
00:33:14,066 --> 00:33:15,967
[narrator] Obsidianis a volcanic glass
569
00:33:15,967 --> 00:33:18,100
and has been shapedinto tools and weapons
570
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,467
for hundreds of thousandsof years.
571
00:33:20,467 --> 00:33:24,367
Its unique molecularproperties allow it to besharpened to an edge
572
00:33:24,367 --> 00:33:28,200
500 times sharperthan a steel blade.
573
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,800
This made it the preferredweapon of Aztecs and otherancient civilizations
574
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,100
who would mountdeadly obsidian bladeson wooden clubs.
575
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:40,100
According to the accountof one Spanish conquistador,
576
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:45,800
the Aztec blades could takethe head off of a horsewith a single blow.
577
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,867
This could actually be
Aztec material
that we're looking at.
578
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,400
Okay, guys,
579
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,700
I think we're about done here.
580
00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:00,667
We're gonna take the samples
so that we can do
further analysis
581
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:01,900
in the lab on it.
582
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:03,000
We'll see what we get.
583
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,233
-Thanks, Michael.
-[Mike] Oh, yeah.
584
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,166
[tense instrumental music]
585
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,266
How many beers have you had?
586
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:14,367
Had one.
587
00:34:14,367 --> 00:34:17,467
-One at a time.
-[laughing]
588
00:34:18,667 --> 00:34:21,166
You know, when we were
pulling up that blue dirt,
589
00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:24,266
we had these
limestone-looking rocks.
590
00:34:24,266 --> 00:34:27,166
And I don't know
if this was giving the color
to the blue dirt,
591
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:29,166
but I've been looking at it,
and it looks like
592
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:33,467
-there's something yellow
and sparkly in the blue dirt.
-Really?
593
00:34:33,467 --> 00:34:37,166
When I ground
some of this stuff up
and I panned it,
594
00:34:37,166 --> 00:34:39,767
and I could see
some really fine color in it.
595
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:44,867
It was, you know,
like flour dough
or something like that.
596
00:34:44,867 --> 00:34:47,166
But you could see
the color in it.
597
00:34:47,166 --> 00:34:49,266
[Ryan] Maybe this has
some unique properties to it.
598
00:34:49,266 --> 00:34:52,467
And if that is gold in there,
we could be hitting
the mother lode
599
00:34:52,467 --> 00:34:55,900
of some kind of
rich gold vein
underneath here.
600
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:57,567
[Chad] Yeah, we put
a lot of work into this.
601
00:34:57,567 --> 00:34:59,967
It'd be nice if that blue dirt
paid off.
602
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:04,567
[dramatic instrumental music]
603
00:35:08,567 --> 00:35:10,066
[Ryan] Taking off.
604
00:35:14,867 --> 00:35:18,367
[narrator] After collectinggeological samples,including obsidian,
605
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:20,667
from the energy zonedrill site,
606
00:35:20,667 --> 00:35:25,567
the team has giventhe material to geologistMichael Boyd for analysis.
607
00:35:25,567 --> 00:35:29,767
While they await his findings,quantum imaging expertDave Wilkinson
608
00:35:29,767 --> 00:35:32,734
performs a scanof the keyhole cavern hole.
609
00:35:35,367 --> 00:35:38,967
[Dave] I'm gonna takesome more footageso we can scan the area.
610
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:41,567
We're gonna see
if we get to collect
some more information
611
00:35:41,567 --> 00:35:43,867
about what's going on
with this hole.
612
00:35:43,867 --> 00:35:45,266
[narrator] Earlierin the year,
613
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:48,266
Dave's image scansprovided the dimensionsand shape
614
00:35:48,266 --> 00:35:49,867
of the cavern below.
615
00:35:49,867 --> 00:35:53,200
[Dave] There's a round portion
500 to 1,000 feet across.
616
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,867
[narrator] But now,with a 120-foot hole
617
00:35:55,867 --> 00:35:57,967
drilled into the centerof the cavern,
618
00:35:57,967 --> 00:36:02,533
he can get informationon what lies at the densecenter of the cave ceiling.
619
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:07,000
[Dave] Duane and Chad
told me they hit something
really hard.
620
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,533
What I think happened
is they might have cracked it.
621
00:36:10,767 --> 00:36:14,100
So, hopefully, we can get
some data that can reveal
622
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:17,533
how big the cavity could be
and what the best way
to get in would be.
623
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:26,367
Oh, my God. Man, this is...
624
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:28,333
really interesting.
625
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:32,166
Holy [bleep]
626
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,567
[dramatic instrumental music]
627
00:36:40,667 --> 00:36:42,767
[tense instrumental music]
628
00:36:44,367 --> 00:36:48,100
[narrator] The next day,the quantum team returnsto Blind Frog Ranch
629
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:50,867
and are ready to sharetheir results with the crew.
630
00:36:50,867 --> 00:36:52,800
[Chad] So, right now,we have quantum coming out.
631
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,967
We don't know
what the quantum guys
have found,
632
00:36:53,967 --> 00:36:55,400
but they've told us
that they've found
633
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,667
some really interesting stuff
going on, so I'm excited
to hear it.
634
00:36:58,667 --> 00:37:01,066
-Hey, Chad. Great to see you.
-Welcome, guys.
635
00:37:01,066 --> 00:37:02,867
Hey, you too, man.
636
00:37:02,867 --> 00:37:04,367
-How you doing, Dave?
-[Dave] Good to see you, man.
637
00:37:04,367 --> 00:37:06,467
We've got Stephen
on the phone right now.
638
00:37:06,467 --> 00:37:07,867
[Mike] Oh, perfect, let's go.
639
00:37:07,867 --> 00:37:09,700
Duane, it's good to see youagain, man.
640
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:11,000
[Duane] Good
seeing you, Stephen.
641
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,567
-So we got Stephen on the...
-All right.
642
00:37:13,567 --> 00:37:15,200
-Sorry we're late, guys.
-[Duane] Hey again.
643
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,967
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
How are you doing there, bud?
644
00:37:17,967 --> 00:37:19,567
-[Mike] Good.
-[Ryan] How are you doing?
645
00:37:19,567 --> 00:37:21,467
Duane, I told you
a long time ago,
646
00:37:21,467 --> 00:37:25,667
you're gonna have to end up
taking the red pill
or the blue pill from us.
647
00:37:25,667 --> 00:37:29,400
Well, my boy, Doc,is ready to give you both.
648
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,266
Are you ready for this?
649
00:37:31,266 --> 00:37:35,033
All over the ground,
I'm finding these little rock.
650
00:37:35,867 --> 00:37:38,100
And, then, I found
this one piece
651
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:42,266
where it's a big glob
of 'em fused together.
652
00:37:42,266 --> 00:37:47,000
So we did a whole series
of tests to look for
what materials we had.
653
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,100
We did EDX
with a scanning
electron microscope
654
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:53,266
to look for composition.
655
00:37:53,266 --> 00:37:55,667
[narrator] Used extensivelyin topography studies,
656
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:58,467
an EDX is an energydispersive X-ray
657
00:37:58,467 --> 00:38:03,400
that uses electronsto determine the elementalcomposition of ground samples.
658
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,667
We did X-ray diffraction
to look at the crystallography
of the sample,
659
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:10,834
and we found iridium.
660
00:38:11,567 --> 00:38:13,467
Well, iridium means
off-Earth, right?
661
00:38:13,467 --> 00:38:15,166
It's not natural
to this planet.
662
00:38:17,266 --> 00:38:24,567
It all appears, right now,
to boil back
to a meteorite impact.
663
00:38:24,567 --> 00:38:29,567
Congratulations, boys!Looks like you all gota meteor at Blind Frog Ranch.
664
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:32,367
[narrator] Accordingto the quantum team,
665
00:38:32,367 --> 00:38:35,767
the fragments of metaland rock that the drillwas encountering
666
00:38:35,767 --> 00:38:39,767
were the direct resultof a large impacted meteorite
667
00:38:39,767 --> 00:38:42,233
sitting abovethe keyhole cavern.
668
00:38:43,867 --> 00:38:46,367
I told you guys.
That's why they [bleep] up.
669
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,367
It's a huge magnetic ball
like a meteorite, huh?
670
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:51,500
I have never, ever,
671
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:56,100
have seen such an energy flow
as I saw in your property,
672
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,867
where none should exist.
673
00:38:58,867 --> 00:39:02,000
[narrator] Every day,thousands of piecesof interstellar material
674
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,800
enter Earth's atmosphereand burn upbefore reaching the surface.
675
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,100
Meteorites larger than100 feet, however,
676
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:13,767
can make impactand send hundredsof droplets of melted rock
677
00:39:13,767 --> 00:39:16,266
around the impact area.
678
00:39:16,266 --> 00:39:18,767
These tiny chunksare called bomblets,
679
00:39:18,767 --> 00:39:21,667
and they contain tracesof minerals and metals.
680
00:39:21,667 --> 00:39:25,066
Their size is proportionalto the massof the meteor itself
681
00:39:25,066 --> 00:39:27,300
and force of impact.
682
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:30,700
[Mike] It would have had to be
a pretty big piece of material
683
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:35,300
for us to be seeing
such large bomblets
down here on the surface.
684
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:38,800
-[Chad] Right.
-So there's something big
out there.
685
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,066
I mean, what we've learned
today is there's a huge
[bleep] meteorite
686
00:39:42,967 --> 00:39:44,667
right here.
687
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:46,266
Well, that explainswhy it's so hard.
688
00:39:46,266 --> 00:39:48,900
We couldn't get 120 foot.
It was just rock solid.
689
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:52,500
And if it was a meteor,
there's no way
we could get through it.
690
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:56,567
[Stephen] Duane, listen,I'm gonna be completelyhonest with you,
691
00:39:56,567 --> 00:39:58,367
Texas to Texas boy,
692
00:39:58,367 --> 00:40:02,900
there is something huge
going on on your property.
693
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:07,166
And the only way to find out
is to get down there.
694
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:11,266
So what might we keep doing
now, Stephen?
695
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:13,800
[Stephen] Duane,it's gonna take several months
696
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,567
for our quantum team
to get together
697
00:40:16,567 --> 00:40:20,567
and compile all the data
that you guys have collected.
698
00:40:20,567 --> 00:40:22,200
[Chad] So Stephen'sgonna take more scans
699
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,100
for the quantum guys
to evaluate more of this area,
700
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:26,367
but it's gonna take months.
701
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:28,867
So we don't have months.
We have to find
another way in.
702
00:40:28,867 --> 00:40:31,300
There's not tellingwhen we're going to getmore rain.
703
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:34,266
We get a bad enough stormand everything'sflooded again.
704
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:35,967
We need to get down there now!
705
00:40:35,967 --> 00:40:38,066
[dramatic instrumental music]
706
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,000
[narrator] On the next episodeof Mystery at Blind
Frog Ranch...
707
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,767
[Chad] We brought in
Stephen Leeah,
708
00:40:45,767 --> 00:40:49,166
and he's saying
that it could be
a huge meteorite down there.
709
00:40:49,166 --> 00:40:52,467
[man] These things hit Earthjust like a huge bombgoing off,
710
00:40:52,467 --> 00:40:56,066
and it's created fracturing
around this large
impact crater
711
00:40:56,066 --> 00:40:58,367
where we could searchfor natural openings.
712
00:40:58,367 --> 00:41:00,734
My dad's gonna go over there
and, then, start digging.
713
00:41:01,767 --> 00:41:04,300
-Oh, [bleep]
-[Chad] God almighty!
714
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:06,567
Piece of [bleep] stuck.
715
00:41:06,567 --> 00:41:08,266
[Duane] We're getting
worse and worse.
716
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:09,967
[Chad] See that?
717
00:41:09,967 --> 00:41:12,233
We're gonna be out
about a half
a million dollars.
718
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,934
[Chad] Hey, we got something!
719
00:41:16,767 --> 00:41:18,400
There's another chamber
coming off in here.
720
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,700
[Chad] Oh, yes!
It looks like a tunnel.
721
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:22,000
We are the first people
to see this,
722
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,567
possibly in hundreds of years,
if not thousands.
723
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:26,867
This is amazing.
724
00:41:27,467 --> 00:41:28,800
Holy [bleep]
