02x07 - Can You Dig It?

[bunniefuu]

There's a tunnel system

going straight down for miles.

It's right by the triangle.

Yeah, I brought

a ground-penetrating radar.

That's going crazy.

We should start excavating.

We ready to do this?

Let's dig.

Look at this, guys.

I don't know what's going on,

but it's detecting everywhere.

It's like we're triggering

something.

Yeah.

I'm at altitude.

We spent the better part

of the day

Running these magnetometry

and lidar surveys.

Here is the magnetic data

of the homestead two.

Whoa.

Here's the triangle.

Look at that.

I feel like we have to dig

To get to the bottom

of skinwalker ranch.

There is a ranch

in northern utah.

It is considered the epicenter

Of the strangest and most

disturbing phenomena on earth

Animal mutilations,

Bizarre ufo sightings

And unusual energies that have

proven harmful to humans.

For 20 years,

the federal government

Tried to find answers

and failed.

Now a new team

of dedicated scientists,

Researchers and experts

has taken over.

They are determined to solve

the mystery and reveal

The secret of skinwalker ranch.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning.

To help us find out

what's really going on

Behind all these phenomena

happening on skinwalker ranch,

Brandon has given us permission

to dig and drill deeper

Than anyone's ever tried before.

Now, in order to do that,

though, erik's brought out

A team from

pete martin drilling.

We got a game plan for today?

We're out here

at what we call "the triangle."

And so,

we're gonna poke two holes

Right at the vertices

of that triangle.

As far as we know,

there's no structure

Underneath here,

but we're not sure.

But part of why

we're here doing this

Is to explore

that very question.

Okay.

They're going to help us explore

The area we call the triangle.

Here's the triangle.

It was here

That last week we detected two

large highly magnetic anomalies

With a long, tunnel-like feature

Running between them

deep underground.

It's also where a researcher

named james keenan

Shared with us evidence

of where he believes could be

Some kind of underground

water course

Or possibly even

an artificial tunnel system.

When you look at this,

You're cutting right directly

through my focal

And origin point, which is this

location of skinwalker ranch.

So, what we're planning to do

with these holes is,

You know,

besides just seeing what we find

And what we run into

when we go down,

We're looking

to instrument these.

We're going to set up

some instruments

And we'll be taking

some measurements

While you're drilling.

We see any elevated

radiation measurements

Or strange,

radio frequency signals

Or something,

we'll let you know.

Please also let us know

if anything unusual happens

With that big piece

of equipment over there.

Okay.

Sounds good, guys.

All right.

Sounds like a plan. I'm excited.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Look, the history is what it is.

Our attention is naturally drawn

to this spot, but then again,

We've never tried drilling

at the triangle.

We may provoke some response

from the ranch.

Who knows what will happen.

Erik, what exactly do we got?

We've got magnetometers,

we've got gps,

We'll be looking at

the geiger counter data logging.

On the laptop is where

we're looking

At our spectrum analyzer.

It allows us to see any

unusual radio frequency signals

That show up while we're

conducting our experiment.

Okay. So, while you're doing

your-your work,

All of this stuff

will be running.

All right, well if you guys

are ready, we're ready.

-Yeah.

-Yep, I think we are.

Go ahead and fire it up.

Let's go, guys.

You know, we're

Really pressing our luck

If the whole

"digging on the ranch" thing

Has got any merit to it because,

you know,

Tom's digging with the excavator

And we got the big,

giant drill going.

We're-we're not poking the

hornet's nest, we're kicking it.

Yeah, you-you can't

We're kicking it.

We're kicking it down,

stomping on it.

While erik and dragon were

working at the triangle,

I went with kandus linde,

kaleb bench and thomas winterton

To investigate

another area of interest

That's right between

the triangle and homestead two.

Well, I have some interesting

news to share.

Last week, brandon

told us that this spot was

A particular place of interest

for the shermans,

Who used to own

skinwalker ranch.

There is an actual location

of the area on the ranch

Where the shermans said

not to dig.

I'd like the share with you

the coordinates.

When we plugged

the coordinates in,

They pointed right

to a big rock sitting

All by itself

across the road from the mesa.

Look at that. So, what's the first thing

we thought?

Let's go out there and dig,

And maybe it'll lead

to some answers.

This good?

Yeah, that's

Where is the rock?

It's right

Yeah. I see it now.

Yeah, actually, let me go through right here.

Over here?

Just watch, this ditch

is a little deep right there.

Is there water in it?

No.

Was there anything in particular

We're looking for here, or?

Well, the-the intel

that brandon got

Was that,

one of the shermans said

This was the spot not to dig at.

It's an odd coincidence

that we took

The gps coordinates

that they gave us

And it was right in the middle

of that rock.

The rock could be a marker.

Did somebody

bury something there?

Is there something there

that's dangerous?

We don't know,

But we've got to dig there

to see

Why would somebody say,

"don't dig in this spot"?

It's stable right there, thomas.

Steady.

I there's something

right there on the rock.

What are you seeing?

Wh right there?

Yep. I'm gonna get

a bottle of water,

I'll be right back. I'm-a go

to the jeep and get one.

Not talking about

where I scratched it.

No.

Not the white, but

It's right here.

All right, here,

Let me get in there, kandus.

Yep.

That's actually something on it.

It kind of looksThere's definitely

something

Right there, and you got

three clearly defined marks.

I don't want to read

too much into anything,

But it's definitely curious

to me that we found

A possible carving

on the underside of this boulder

Where the sherman family

supposedly said

No one should ever dig.

It could be that they made

the marking,

But we just don't know.

It's nowhere else,

and it, to me, it looks like

A bunch of the old thunderbird

symbols that you see

In a lot of native american

tribes and stuff.

One of my pastimes is I love

reading mythology and history,

And to me that symbol

almost looked

Like some kind of a thunderbird

that you see in the navajo

And other native artwork.

The thunderbird

is a mythical creature

Of huge importance in navajo

And other native american

cultures.

It's a symbol

of great power, strength

And protection of humans

against evil spirits.

Now, what's interesting here

is that the legend

Of the dangerous,

shape-shifting entity

Known as the skinwalker

Is not only what this property

has been named after,

But it also arose

out of the navajo culture.

So, if this really is

a carving of the thunderbird,

Then I wonder

who would have carved it?

And is it connected

to the sherman's warning

Not to dig here?

I'll take a picture of it.

It certainly doesn't say,

"enter here."

No.

Well, let's look under the rock.

I like that.

Well, I'm getting over here,

out of the way.

Who knows what could be here

if this really is a marker.

It's right between homestead two

and the triangle,

So even though

I'm a little skeptical about it,

What if it's covering some

kind of strange object

That's connected to all

these strange phenomena

Here on the ranch?

Heck, what if it's even covering

An entrance to what

we might be drilling down into

Over at the triangle?

We need to poke that sucker

as much as possible.

We're digging below a boulder

Right where the sherman family

reportedly said to never dig.

There's a long-standing legend

that warns

Against any digging

on skinwalker ranch.

So, I'm really eager to see

if we'll find something

Buried here, or

If some strange phenomena might

be triggered by the digging.

Hey, do you see anything

down there?

No, let's have a look.

You gonna hop

down in there, kandus?

Yeah, just real quick.

I just want to look

across this hole.

That's just some shale.

Is it just shale?

Yeah.

Well, here's

a bigger piece of it.

Hey, look at that.

I didn't know if it

was pottery or something.

No.

Kandus,

you need a hand?

Yeah, I'll take one.

Nothing unusual,

it's just crazy cross-bedding.

But I can't help but think

The rock was simply a landmark.

To be honest, that could

be within 100 feet of the rock.

Well, they might go to the rock,

Take 100 paces due north,

You know,

five paces to the east.

It's kind of like finding

a needle in a haystack.

Yeah.

We go deeper,

Or what-what are you thinking

after seeing it?

I would not go deeper.

It doesn't look like

it's been disturbed

And that rock's been

sitting on it forever.

That rock hasn't been moved.

I really don't think

it's worth investigating

This spot any more right now.

The ground doesn't

look backfilled,

Like someone dug here

or hid anything below,

So we need to focus

our energy where we are

Experiencing anomalies

like the triangle area,

And another spot we

want to investigate

Next in the east field

of the ranch.

Well, then, let's just

fill this in and call it.

You're good. You're clear.

It's already getting wet.

Can we take a look?

Yeah, give me just a sec

And I'll give you some light.

Okay.

This is a significant

water flow.

Just like what james keenan

told us.

But this is the kind of stuff

that caves like crazy.

Boy.

Yeah. It's caving.

It's already

caving?

Yeah.

What do you think, erik?

Do we want to continue

digging in this?

So, I really want to get

this hole to depth.

If we can get that 100-foot

depth, I want to get it.

If we've got to put a casing

in the ground,

We were gonna do it anyway.

Yeah. Yep.

I say we do it now.

I was pretty surprised to see

The amount of water

that we encountered

At such a shallow depth here,

But we really do want

to get to the bottom

Of what is underneath

the triangle.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We're gonna head over

To where the cow died.

Right underneath where the ufo

appeared in the video.

After we finished

investigating the rock,

The next place we wanted to

explore was in the east field,

Where we've seen all kinds

of strange phenomenon.

I'm gonna park right here

to be out of his way.

One week ago,

we conducted a lidar scan

With a company called

juniper unmanned,

And we detected two very large

circular features in the ground.

The anomalies we found were

right here where this flag is.

The peak of that parabola.

And this also happens

to be an area

Where the cattle on the ranch

have been avoiding.

One cow mysteriously died

last year,

While at the same time, a ufo

appeared above it in the sky.

So, the cow we found right here.

Literally right here. Right?

Yeah.

Why don't we just dig

right through the center of it,

And we can put this to bed

really quick.

If there's something there,

we'll find it; if there's not,

We'll know and we can

get to the next spot.

Yeah.

So why don't we go

all the way to the fence

And do maybe do two swipes

and just come back to, you know,

About 20 or 30 feet away

and just-just do

You want a wider trench?

Yeah.

That'd be nice.

A little bit wider.

That way we can actually go in.

If-if we do see

some kind of anomaly,

We can walk in it safely

and maybe look at the dirt

And take samples or whatever.

Yeah.

All right.

The cow died possibly

of something

That messed up

its neurological system.

It makes me wonder, you know,

If there is

something underground here

That caused this reaction

leading up to this cow's death.

Okay, guys.

We're gonna get out of the way.

Wow.

No wonder he wants us

out of the way.

Yeah. I'm glad to be

out of the way.

Yeah, me, too.

The drill rig hit water

Really early and it

was starting to cave in.

So, now we have

these big metal casings

We're gonna put in the ground,

and hopefully

It'll help stop the water.

Bring it this way.

So, he's actually

getting into the ground

Below the level at which

they were drilling, right?

Yeah, yeah.

That pipe was 40 feet.

Real soft and wet material

can be dangerous.

When that material like that

is-is that saturated,

It could cave in

and it could tip the rig over.

Down?

Down.

There she is.

Let's see your mirror.

How deep are we here?

About 25.

25?

See how it's just running in?

Yep.

It's falling apart.

That is really flowing.

Looks like a river down there.

Seeing the amount

of flowing water

Under the surface

is very interesting.

Is this an opening to a big void

or a larger cavern?

Or could this be tied into

What james keenan told us

where he talked about

Some highly

electrically charged river

That could be running

underneath this property.

Well, we had a gentleman

come out here to the ranch.

Yeah, when james was out.

Yeah.

We talked about the possibility

of there being water flow,

Significant water flow,

under the property.

And he even talked

about this area

As being one of the areas

of interest.

I have to admit,

I thought it was crazy

that we went down

Maybe 24, 25 feet below

the ground with the drilling

And we hit flowing water.

You guys ready to put this in?

Yeah, I'd say we need

to pour it in.

This year we put

45,000 gallons of water

Into that hole on the other side

of the homestead two area

And it disappeared

rather quickly.

Where did it go?

And when thomas started

digging with the mini-excavator,

Trying to find an exit point

for all that water,

Kaleb's phone started

malfunctioning again.

I don't have any control

over it.

It shut itself off.

It could be that

what we're seeing

Is part of the explanation

as to what happened

To all that water.

I want answers.

If we continue drilling

Without advancing

the temporary casing more,

It'll collapse underneath us.

It's doing it already.

It's probably underwater.

It's disappointing

to have this hole

In the middle of the triangle

cause so many problems.

It's a moot point

to go any deeper

Because there's enough

current there

That it's actually making

the water bubble up,

And they're really having to

work hard to try and stop it off

So they can go to the depths

we're after.

I guess we're done.

Okay.

The next spot's

gonna be over there.

Okay.

To the west.

All right. Okay.

Let's rock and roll.

Hey, thomas,

let's do another test

After this one!

Okay.

Just feels like dirt to me.

Yep.

Yep.

The juniper data said

there's some sort of anomaly

Right where the cow died.

And a cow died there, so

that's anomalous to start with.

But as thomas

excavates the soil,

We don't find anything

really unusual.

Well, you just drop on

in there, kandus.

Yeah, I'm going down.

I want to see the side wall.

Yeah, that ground's

just like concrete.

It just looks

like dirt, right?

There we go.

Yeah, it's

You see any other layers?

You know, it's just natural

stratigraphy.

You've got that top horizon

Soil, then it goes down.

Yeah, there's nothing

to write home about down there.

No.

So, hey, what depth are we at?

Drop the tape measure

down there.

How deep is it?

I think we're right at seven.

Crap. Look at that.

Look at it. Look how it's

bending the tape back.

That's

That is really magnetic

right there.

Holy crap.

Can you feel it?

I can't look at, watch it.

It pulls it right to it.

You see it speed up?

That's uncanny.

Yeah, it does. That's so weird.

The ground in the pit we dug,

And where the cows

have been avoiding,

Is strangely magnetic.

But what makes it really freaky

Is that there's

no large metallic object

Or structure of any kind

buried here that we can see.

I've dug holes all my life

and I've never seen a hole

As magnetic as that.

Travis, would that suggest

that there's current running

Through this ground

that's magnetizing it?

Yeah. Anytime you have

an electric current,

There's a magnetic field

associated with it.

We seem to be finding magnetism

With everything we find.

When I first came

to skinwalker ranch last year,

Erik bard explained

how a lot of the data

He had been collecting

on the property

Indicated that something

underground

Was causing a highly powerful

magnetic field.

And he also believed

it might help explain things

Like the horrible head injury

thomas winterton suffered

A couple years ago,

And all the malfunctions we've

had with electronic devices.

What is it doing?

It was in my contacts.

It tried calling

a couple people.

Dude, that is crazy.

Well, I don't know

if there's ano any reason

To keep digging this hole.

I don't see a parabolic shape

Like was in the

ground-penetrating radar.

Thomas, we probably ought to dig

another hole just like this

Where we've heard stories

of cattle mutilation -

Or ufo or whatever.

And wasn't there another one

down here by the big tree?

Down here in the corner

by the tree, yeah.

That's where

that sheriff kris porritt

Showed us a spot

where there had been

Mutilations in the past.

And, also, he talked

about some kind of craft

Where?

That had landed.

It's just in the corner

where you're talking about.

Why don't you guys

go down there and scout it out,

And I'll come down

and we'll dig that out.

Okay.

Let's get theyou got the metal detector?

Yeah.

An ex-deputy sheriff from

the area named kris porritt

Had some pretty incredible

stories when he came to visit,

And told us there had been

a cattle mutilation here.

All the female organs

were removed out of both cows.

I can't explain it.

And there was matted grass,

Where something heavy

had sat in these weeds

And made an impression.

I presume

That it was a spaceship.

I don't know what to make

of sheriff porritt's story.

He believes

that an actual alien craft

Landed on this next location.

Given the mutilated cows

that he officially reported,

And our own lidar data

Showing large circular anomalies

on that exact spot,

I'm convinced

that it's worth digging.

Okay.

Check this out, I see exactly

what was in the lidar.

It's raised up.

It's a perfect circle

right here.

Y'all see it?

I do.

It is a perfect circle,

right here.

And it looks like it's probably

an inch to two inches higher

Than the rest of the area

around it.

Well, let's dig

through the middle of it.

All right,

so let's start digging.

Now I'm here

to follow the science,

So hopefully we can make

a discovery of something

That will explain those things

that happened here

And this weird magnetism

in the ground across the ranch.

I'd say that's good enough!

Let's see if the thing's

magnetic.

I'm not seeing anything crazy.

Look, look,

it's pushing it away.

Look, it's pushing away. Look.

Is it?

You see that? Yeah.

Yeah.

It's literally

pushing it away.

Look at that.

Something is either electrically

charging or magnetically

Charging the walls of this dirt.

This is charged

differently than that.

And I'm beginning to

This is making me think

It's electric, not magnetic.

If it's electric,

which would make more sense,

Because that's not a magnet.

And if that's charged

and if they're both positive

Or they're both negative,

they'll push each other away.

The fact that dirt

Is statically charged enough

That it will push metal

to the wall of the dirt

Is unbelievable.

Is there electric current

flowing through the ground

That's putting electric

charge on it?

I don't know, but it tells me

that there's something weird

Electromagnetically in the soil

once you get to a depth

Of about five feet or so.

Could this explain why

we've seen so much phenomena

In this area?

I it's all connected somehow.

Everything. The ufo sightings,

the dead cows,

The cows moving around

in weird places,

The internet going out,

The batteries dying,

the phones wigging out,

The water under the ground,

the soil acting weird.

All of this

is connected somehow.

We just don't know

what the culprit is.

We didn't find any dead aliens

or spaceships,

But what we did find was another

mystery and another clue.

It's another pushpin.

Yep.

How far down are we?

We're about 25 feet.

All right.

We drilled our first hole

And we hit water really early

and it was starting to cave in,

So now we're punching

hole number two.

Wow.

Look at that.

You see what's going on here?

Yeah.

This line you see right here?

I've been watching this thing

dance around,

And I've never seen that before.

A spectrum analyzer is a device

That's sensitive

to electromagnetic waves,

Like radio waves.

And it allows us

to see which frequencies

Are present

and at what amplitudes.

And we're seeing stuff

that is neither natural

Nor easy to produce.

This may be correlative

with what we're doing

With the rig itself.

I think what I want

to do is watch

How this changes as-as they work

with the machine.

Okay. That is strange.

Yeah.

You want to check

right here real quick?

We might as well

get out and walk around,

See if we trigger anything.

Okay.

Take your phone in case

it starts wigging out.

While the drilling

continued at the triangle,

Kaleb and I went back

to the east field.

I wanted to see

if we could measure

Any potentially dangerous

energy spikes

Or radiation as a possible

result of all the digging.

So, the bessie was right

over here, right? The cow?

Right between these

two cow trees right here.

Between the two trees.

So, the gamma ray levels

are about three times higher

Right now, background-wise,

than normal.

Okay.

We stopped by the site

where the cow died last summer.

Suddenly, my, gamma ray detector

Started showing an increase

in gamma rays.

Yeah, we just jumped up

above 20

24 millirem per hour.

Gamma rays

are higher-level x-rays,

And you can get

radiation sickness from them.

Although the levels

weren't immediately dangerous,

They were increasing.

Yeah, you know,

this is crazy weird.

Tell you what,

if you hold this for a minute.

I want to check

another instrument out.

We've got a continuous

magnetic field

That's going on right now.

That should be zero.

Hey, guys. Look at that.

This active peak

is really interesting here.

This thing's moving around.

You see that?

Yeah. Have you ever seen

that frequency?

I have not seen this before.

Really?

If you look over here,

you'll see

This colored waterfall plot here

Shows that we've got a peak

that's dancing around

And I don't know

what's driving it.

We seem to be

receiving some kind

Of energy.

I think that there may be

An energy source nearby

That can be interpreted

as artificial.

I wonder if this is somehow

connected to the drill.

Look at that.

That makes no sense.

Let me just check my compass

And see if it looks weird.

We have the compass

in your jeep.

I've got a compass right here.

Just hang on, I'll find it.

It is right there.

That is odd right there, dude.

So

There is an extraneous

Magnetic field right here

messing my compass up.

Kaleb, check this out.

Magnetic north has been shifted

By about five degrees.

It's showing north is that way.

Holy crap.

It's pointing toward

where they're drilling.

Kaleb and I went on a patrol

while

Were out at the triangle

drilling,

And we stopped by the site

Where the cow died last summer,

and while we were there,

My electronic compass was off.

It was pointing

toward the drill site.

Let's go further south

and see if we're still seeing

The same stuff

the further away we get from

Yeah.

From the drill rig

And from the homestead area.

You ready?

Yeah.

One of the best places

to see the whole ranch

Is down

at the observation tower.

Why don't we go down there,

and that way we can see

The whole ranch at once?

Okay.

Do you mind just having them

shut the machine off

For a second?

We're picking something up

that we want to see

If it's being caused

by the machine or not,

So it'll just be one second.

Thank you.

Okay, erik, it's shut down.

Okay. It's still active.

This thing's hopping

all over the place.

Look at that.

You see what's going on here?

Yeah. That is so strange.

This line you see right here,

Is, it's moving around

as if under

Some kind of,

deliberate control here.

So, what I mean, what would

the purpose of something

Like that be,

a communication device?

I don't know. Look at this.

That's bizarre.

Yeah.

I sure don't know

how to explain this.

All right. You ready?

Yep.

All right, here we go.

You got everything you need?

I think so.

I'm gonna get up on top

of that tower

And really see

what we can see up there.

We'll be able to see everything.

Since we got such weird compass

and gamma ray readings

In the east field

that seemed to point

Over toward the drill rig

at the triangle,

Kaleb and I went

to the observation tower

At the southernmost point

of the ranch

Where we could get high enough

above any obstructions

To see if we could duplicate

those readings.

Take a few readings here.

Ooh, hey.

Pretty strong

electromagnetic field.

Seems like it's coming from

Peaks out

Boom. How about that?

Right at the drill.

Go figure.

Aim it away from the drill,

it drops.

Clearly the drill's

having some kind of effect

On the magnetic field

of the ranch.

And I can detect it

all the way down here.

That's nuts.

I'm not real sure

how to explain this,

But it's possible that

this huge metal drill bit

That's sticking down

into the ground

Is acting like a big,

permanent magnet

If it's hitting something

that's more magnetized

Than normal under the surface.

That could throw

the compasses off a little bit,

But I've never seen them

go off 15 degrees

Like these were doing.

So, what could they be drilling

into that would cause that?

That's really interesting.

It's not the frequency itself,

But it's the behavior

of that frequency

That's caught my attention.

It really does

kind of sound like

Communication or someone

trying to dial something in.

Yeah.

You know when you run across

and you get that

On an old transistor radio?

Yeah.

This signal,

it bounces back and forth,

And I don't know

what's going on.

Could it just be

a natural phenomenon

Based on the geography

and the geology of this place?

Could it truly be

a higher intelligence

That's communicating?

One thing I do know, is there

are things happening here

That we can't explain.

Are we in communication

with travis and?

Yeah, we can give him a call.

Thanks.

Hey, travis.

Do you copy?

This is travis.

Dragon, what do you got?

So, we picked up this signal,

But this thing is bouncing

all over the place.

It's really, really strange.

Is that the drill?

I think that's the drill, yeah.

Hey, dragon

All right, copy you, out.

You can land right here

if you want to,

Just pull out of the way

of the drill just a little bit.

Right there's good.

Hey, this was weird stuff.

Yeah?

Really weird.

So, what are you getting?

Let me just mute this.

Okay, you know that peak

we've been getting?

yep, yep.

Look how active it is.

Wow.

It's frequency-modulating.

But we've seen this before.

Yeah.

Just two weeks ago

Crap, look at that.

A massive energy spike showed up

On our spectrum analyzer.

And it not only shut down

the entire network

But it also happened

at the same time

That both thomas and I

suddenly felt ill.

Guys, I'm-I'm leaving the ranch.

I'm getting a bad headache.

I'm dead serious.

So, it made me wonder

if drilling at the triangle area

Was causing this

to happen all over again.

That is, that's bizarre.

So, let me tell you

what-what all we've been seeing.

So, not only have the compass

readings been changing,

But we've been measuring

a large magnetic anomaly

And it points

right at the drill.

Wow.

And then, the gamma rays

Are going they're dropping

down into single digits

Yeah.

And going up into the high

20s in millirem per hour.

That's interesting.

Yeah.

But the fact that

it's fluctuating so much,

Constantly, is pretty weird.

Hey, travis?

My compass is saying

that that's due north right now.

That's what,

That's what kaleb's and mine

have been doing.

Dude, it's spinning.

It's telling me that north

Is right at me now.

Come on.

Look, it's still going.

I mean, it made a full rotation

And then corrected itself.

Look at that!

Whoa.

As far as you're aware, do you

have anything magnetic on you?

No.

Okay

I don't think we've ever

seen anything

Quite like that before at all

on the property.

But then again,

I don't think we've ever tried

Drilling like this before.

Mine and kaleb's are lining up

with each other's.

Right.

That is insane, dude.

There's no real simple

explanation

For the compasses

being messed up.

This would require

A transfer of magnetic

or electromagnetic energy

All the way across the ranch

Over miles of distance.

So, this is something

far different

Than-than just a piece of metal

Being magnetized

by drilling in the ground.

Maybe we're drilling down into

something that's causing this.

Hey, chance? Do you know

Do you know what our depth

is now?

How deep was you, troy?

About 26.

Okay, and you haven't hit

full-on water yet, have you?

Just that muddy stuff.

Yeah.

Well, that's a little

encouraging, at least.

Yeah.

Well, we don't have water

flowing in the hole,

So I'm really bullish

about going deeper.

I want to go as deep as we can.

If it were up to me, I would say

Just keep drilling the hole,

'cause I'd like to see

If we can hit get water.

I mean, they're here to drill

as deep as they can, so

We'll let you get back to it

and we'll just follow your lead.

All right.

All right, thanks, chance.

Let's get out of the way.

Thanks, you guys,

for stopping by.

Thank you.

Keep us posted.

Well, guys,

Quick update.

We are about 70 feet

right now, roughly.

As far as we know,

that's as deep as anything

That's ever been done

on this property. -

Yeah. We're hoping to get-get

down to that 100-foot still,

So, we'll keep chewing on it

and seeing what it'll give us.

It's been interesting to see

the change in soil color

And composition and everything.

Yeah.

It seems like every time

the bucket comes out,

About every other time

it changes up.

Yeah. Yeah.

Got some layering

going on there.

Exactly. Yeah, you just never

know what you're gonna see.

Okay.

All right.

We'll get out of your way.

Thanks for the update.

I appreciate it. I'm excited

you already have been

Gotten down to 70 feet.

That's-that's significant here.

Yeah.

The drilling process

seems to be going smoothly.

Watching the different soil

colors come out of the ground

And drilling deeper than we ever

have, really has us excited

To find out what's

actually going on here.

How deep are we now?

Yeah, we're about probably 93.

Okay.

Look at that.

What's that?

It's like pitch-black.

That is some dark, dark stuff.

Yeah, it looks like coal.

It does.

Does look like coal.

It looks just like coal to me.

Yeah.

There's another black material

native to this area

That's kind of interesting.

You know what that is?

See this?

Yeah.

What's that look like to you?

Coal.

Yeah, that's what

we were saying.

The only other black stuff

around here that I know of is

We're here at the triangle

Where we were able to reach

a depth of 100 feet.

The drillers pulled out

this strange black substance.

And we've heard stories

of this gilsonite that is

A byproduct of a meteor impact

from years ago.

Then you can tell

if it's gilsonite or not, or?

Well, if it melts all together,

it'll be like a tar sand.

Millions of years ago,

This entire area

was inhabited by dinosaurs.

And scientists

have long speculated

That what caused

their extinction

Was one or more meteors

impacting the earth.

Now, we won't know until

we test this black substance

If it is gilsonite or not,

but if it is,

It could be evidence

of something that originated

In outer space,

and if that's the case,

What else could be down there

That might provide us

with some answers?

What do you think?

What do you think?

It wouldn't ignite,

so it kind of told us

It's not a flammable material.

Definitely not petroleum-based.

And gilsonite flakes off

and fractures real easy.

So I would dare guess

That it could be s-some

gilsonite that we are hitting.

But without testing it,

I can't give

A for-sure answer of what it is.

Well, we've got a lot of

samples, and this is probably

The most interesting

and it's at the bottom.

Yeah, it'll be cool

to get it tested and see.

All right, guys.

We got 100 feet in there.

Um, probably a little extra,

but, um

I think that's all she wrote.

Okay.

Thank you for all your work.

Yeah.

Appreciate it. This is awesome.

No problem, guys.

Glad to help.

We're excited.

Yep.

I got the data back

from the analysis

On that interesting

black stuff taken out

Of the drilling activity

at the triangle.

I'd love to hear what you got.

You might find this interesting.

Take a look.

It doesn't look like gilsonite.

Well, there's strontium.

Yep.

Barium.

Strontium and barium.

Both of which have radioa

Radioactive isotopes.

I found that interesting.

But the interesting thing

here, though,

You've got manganese, iron,

Aluminum, sulfur and silicon.

I mean, that's all the stuff

you would need

To put together

modern-day electronics.

That's pretty

interesting.

If you go and take

Any modern-day fighter plane

Or spacecraft

and you crush it up,

And then you take

a sample of it,

You're probably gonna get

these materials.

Whoa.

This is very interesting.

Travis recognized materials

That are used

in the manufacture of aircraft

And semiconductor devices.

Why do we have something

like that black material

At a certain depth here

at skinwalker ranch?

I have no idea.

But I do find it fascinating.

That looks so familiar to me.

I've seen that.

I bet we could cool that down

To liquid, nitrogen temperatures

And I think it would be

superconducting.

I can do that, too.

Hey, that's easy enough to do.

We'd need a big magnet.

I think I know where

we can find one of those.

What we might want to do

is take the samples

That we've already sent out

and do some follow-up analysis

You know, some chemical

analysis we might find out,

More about the

light element composition.

Just looking at the graphs

you got, you could

You got enough stuff there,

if we m if we mined it

And refined it,

we could build an airplane.

Wow.

It took us getting down

the deepest we've ever gotten

On the ranch, to 100 feet,

To find this strange

black substance.

You never know where there might

be a hidden clue in there.

I find that really interesting.

Pretty amazing.

Some really cool insights,

travis.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Finding this strange,

conductive material

Deep underground

at the triangle area

Is the first physical

scientific evidence

Of something that might not be

natural under the ground.

Whether it's part

of some kind of structure

Or object, we can't tell.

But what we have to do

is follow up on this

And see if the rest of the ranch

has similar characteristics.

This discovery could lead us

to finding out

Why all these bizarre phenomena

Keep happening

at skinwalker ranch.

You know, the thing about

digging on skinwalker ranch

Is that the bad things don't

always happen immediately,

And there's a superstitious

part of me that says

The number of things that

I've seen go wrong after digging

Just cannot be a coincidence.

We have never before

seen this level of investigation

With digging and taking

a more aggressive approach.

We don't know

what lies in store.

I think we have yet

to fully understand

The consequences of our work

Out at skinwalker ranch.

We're gonna see if the ground

Underneath skinwalker ranch

is conductive.

All right, erik, hook it up.

All right.

There look at that.

Wow.

The ground itself

Might be acting like a battery.

We're gonna be putting

so much power

Through the ground,

and hopefully we can stimulate

Something on the ranch.

Energize.

Wait, wait, wait.

What is that, right there?

It's diving and then it stops.

That is crazy.
