- Watch what happens here.
- TRAVIS: Wow.
ERIK:
We have several objects
moving in unison
above the triangle.
TRAVIS:
What is that?
KALEB:
I just saw a flash right there.
TRAVIS: I see it, I
see it. UAP right there!
- Yep.
- TRAVIS: Look at that thing.
KALEB: We just
want to really see
how deep this
anomaly is, by chance.
Let's give it a go.
JAN: This is what our target
actually looks like.
It looks a lot like
you would think
a debris field would be.
NARRATOR: There is
a ranch in Northern Utah.
It is considered the epicenter
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
animal mutilations,
bizarre UFO sightings
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
For 20 years, the
federal government
tried to find
answers and failed.
Now a new team of
dedicated scientists,
researchers and
experts has taken over.
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal...
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.
KALEB: Morning, guys.
- Hey, man.
- We got Mike and Alex here with Mark Constructions.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, how's it going?
- Man. Hey, man.
- THOMAS: Hey, Mike.
- Hey, Thomas, how are you doing?
- Good to see you again.
TRAVIS: Thomas Winterton
arranged for us to meet
with a drilling team
from Mark Construction
to help us crack one
of the biggest mysteries
we've ever encountered
here on Skinwalker Ranch:
just what the heck
is inside the mesa?
ERIK: So, guys, it sounds like
you're bringing some
capabilities that we've never
had out here in terms
of the horizontal drilling.
Yeah, so we'll-we'll
have the capabilities
to about 60,000 pounds of force.
- ERIK: 60,000 pounds?
- TRAVIS: Wow.
MIKE: With the machine
that we're bringing, yeah.
Now, if something stops
that, that's pretty crazy.
TRAVIS: In the past two years,
we've conducted two
separate drilling operations
inside the mesa where
we've encountered
a 400-foot-long object
that seems to be
shaped like a dome.
Neither of the previous
drilling operations
could penetrate this thing.
I'm up against something
pretty hard right now.
TRAVIS: But what
really stunned us was that
small fragments of metal
came out of the spoils pile.
They were composed of
similar kinds of materials
that NASA and SpaceX use
to protect spacecraft
from the intense heat
when they reenter
the Earth's atmosphere.
Oh, my.
TRAVIS: And just one week ago,
ground-penetrating
radar expert Jan Francke
rescanned the mesa,
and he identified
several more potentially
metallic anomalies
around the dome-shaped object
that look a lot like a
possible debris field.
THOMAS: We've gotten some
data that Erik's gonna share with you,
and we wanted to
get your thoughts on it
and kind of get a game plan
of how we would tackle this.
TRAVIS: So now that
Thomas has found a team
with a much more
powerful drill rig,
we're gonna conduct a
more strategic operation.
Our plan is to collect
as much data as possible
about this dome-shaped object
and the other
anomalies around it.
Then, perhaps we can
find a way to excavate them
and figure out what
they actually are.
ERIK: Now, let's
take a look at this.
Our GPR expert has
post-processed the data
and given us, really,
a three-dimensional
- representation of whatever this is.
- ALEX: Wow.
ERIK: We expect to be able to
punch through right up beside.
We don't want to
go into this thing.
'Cause we don't know what it is.
TRAVIS: What if it's something
important or dangerous?
ERIK: Yeah. You're gonna come in
and hopefully
maintain a-a distance
from this feature to the east
and, hopefully, to the
west, so that we can then
bring instruments
into that cased hole,
that, uh, borehole, and
study it from both sides.
We've decided, rather
than to drill into the structure,
we should create boreholes
on both sides of the anomaly
that will provide
instrumentation access
inside the mesa, very near
to but not penetrating into
the anomaly itself.
I have in mind to insert
active and passive instruments,
some of which simply
measure, others of which
may even broadcast
signals into the anomaly
in order to study its response.
This will give us an opportunity
to better understand
whether it is of natural
or possible
technological origins.
Do you mind if I
draw on the screen?
ERIK: Uh, s... Go for it.
- Yeah, I would love that.
- Yeah, please do.
All right, so, we've cleared
out an area right here.
The goal is to come up
and go as close to
the dome as we can.
It'd be really nice if
we were able to bring
a second drill hole up like that
and allow these guys the
ability to-to put equipment down
and almost X-ray, if you will.
ERIK: You know, you're
creating an asset for us
to study what could be
a very interesting thing
inside the mesa.
THOMAS: Now we
need your guys' thoughts
on the logistics part of this.
MIKE: We never know what
we're getting into until we're on-site,
'cause every-everything's
underground,
but it's definitely doable.
One thing that we
would need to know
is-is the smallest-sized hole
that would be able to obtain
the equipment you guys
are sending up there.
ERIK: So, Mike, what
are the increments?
What are the size
increments of that borehole?
So, our pilot hole will be
a six-inch diameter hole...
- Okay.
- Um, and stepping up, uh, four inches at a time.
So, we'll go six-inch,
ten-inch, 14-inch, 18-inch.
TRAVIS: Working up to 18 inches
for each borehole
would be perfect.
So if you can do
that on both sides,
we can put a
transmitter on one side
and a receiver on the other
and go up through there
with, like, a robot or a,
or something, and pull it...
- ERIK: Pull it through.
- Uh, up through there.
- Okay.
- TRAVIS: The big thing is,
we don't want the
pipe to be conductive,
because we need to use
radio waves, microwaves,
gamma rays,
everything we can think of
to try and sh**t
through this thing and...
- Send a signal through it?
- And-and figure out what it is.
MIKE: Yeah, it's gonna be
a concrete gel-based,
um, casing that we put in.
Okay.
If everything goes
according to plan,
we will have two holes
that would enable us to perform
something akin to an X-ray,
or a CAT scan, of that anomaly,
and really give us
an understanding
of whether we're dealing
with a natural feature
or something far
more interesting.
TRAVIS: We've been told
all kinds of stories about
UFOs flying into
the mesa and out.
The alien bases and,
you know, crazy stuff.
We don't have any evidence
that any of that's real.
But what we do know is
there's something weird
inside the mesa.
Well, I'm anxious
to get out there
over the next few
days and get set up
and get your assessment
of-of what can be done out there.
- Absolutely.
- Let's do it. -All right.
TRAVIS: I'm looking
forward to it, guys.
KALEB: Hey, Mike.
- MIKE: How's it going?
- BRYANT: Hey. Welcome back.
- It's good to have you.
- Yeah, it's good to be back.
Got your crew,
looks like you've got
- a little bit of equipment with you.
- Yep.
We've got our setup,
we're ready to go.
♪
TRAVIS: Couple days after
our meeting, Mike Seriani,
Alex Swanson and their team
from Mark Construction Drillers
came back to get our
operation started in the mesa.
MIKE: We'll get
the drill unloaded
and meet you out there.
THOMAS: I'm really excited
because we can finally
be able to get a clear picture
of what lies in and
around the mesa.
In the past,
we've pulled metal
out of the mesa,
so the thing I'm
looking forward to most
is figuring out what
is that metal from
and how did it get there?
Is there still a cavern
or tunnel in there?
Is it gonna show this big dome?
After years and years
of hearing stories
of things being inside the mesa,
who knows what
else we'll find in there?
You're ready to rock, huh?
- Yeah.
- You gonna use the same drill hole
from last year or are you
gonna create a new one?
No, we're gonna create our own.
So, we'll go in
just to the-the right
of the existing one and make
our own hole the whole way.
THOMAS: Okay.
- We'll get out of your way.
- Yeah.
You let us know if there's
anything you need from us.
Sounds good.
TRAVIS: Awesome.
The team will start
the first of two holes
across the road to
the south of the mesa,
and then drill a
six-inch-diameter borehole
that will track upwards and
trace along the eastern side
of the dome-shaped object
until the bit breaks through
at the top of the mesa.
Once both six-inch
holes are completed,
the team will widen
them to 18 inches
and then coat them with a
concrete-gel-based sealant
that will allow us
to insert imaging
and energy-detecting
devices to hopefully identify
what this dome-shaped object is.
And in order to collect
the drilling spoils,
Thomas is digging
a pit to catch them
right at the base of the mesa
so we can look for
any more fragments
of metal or other
strange materials
that the drill may encounter.
- Hey, Alex.
- How's it going?
- You got your beacon running?
- Yes, sir.
ERIK: Okay, and so,
we're gonna monitor you
from over here on the side.
All right, well, it looks like
we're ready to start poking in?
- Yep.
- All right.
JARED: Fire in the hole, huh?
ERIK: Just behind
the drilling head
on the end of that
rod, we have a beacon.
It is an electronic device
that broadcasts a signal
up through the
mesa to the receiver
and provides information
about the elevation,
the direction... or inclination...
As well as the temperature
of the drill head itself.
This is very important to guide
this otherwise blind operation
taking place inside of the mesa.
So, Travis, you're monitoring
for that beacon signal
on that drill head?
Oh, absolutely.
- ERIK: Is that him?
- TRAVIS: That's him right there.
So, it's 3605.
ERIK: The RF spectrum
analyzer enables us to monitor
the signal coming
out of that beacon.
We can pinpoint
the exact frequency
that it is broadcasting.
They've got the
bit to the right level
and they're gonna...
About to punch
into the main wall to
go up into the mesa.
ERIK: All right, well,
this is where things start
- to get interesting.
- BRYANT: Yep, for sure.
Oh, look over here.
Holy crap. Look at this.
We're detecting
a different signal
from the one coming
from the drill beacon.
Let's listen to it.
ERIK: Okay, what frequency
are you at on that one?
- 31 megahertz.
- All right.
[static]
TRAVIS: It's coming
from inside the mesa,
right at the drill site.
What in the hell is that?
♪
TRAVIS: What
in the hell is that?
It's coming from
right at the drill site.
And it's not the beacon.
- What is that?
- Yeah, you can see where the beacon is
because it's that
constant thing across it.
TRAVIS: Just after the
drilling operation got started,
almost immediately, we
detected a strange signal
at about 31 megahertz that
our antenna showed us was
coming from inside the mesa.
I don't know what that is,
'cause I've never seen
a signal like that before.
It definitely wasn't
the drilling beacon
that we were already tracking.
So, could it possibly
have been coming from
the dome-shaped object itself?
I don't understand any of this.
JARED: She's not
wanting to move.
ALEX: No?
JARED: Well, I don't know man.
It's not moving very well.
THOMAS: You can hear that
drill's hitting something hard.
It keeps going up.
So, I've climbed
THOMAS: We were only
drilling for a short period of time
and already the bit
is being pushed up
too steep inside the mesa.
Which means, unfortunately,
they're not able to
steer this bit around
like they would like to,
just like we've seen
in other exercises
drilling into this
mesa in the past.
ALEX [on walkie]: She
doesn't want to go down, huh?
Nah, no. She don't
want to go down at all.
I mean, we're
scraping on something.
Just climbing like crazy.
[signal static]
Every time I try
and tune into it,
the signal coming from
the mesa spreads around.
That sounds just like what
we heard in the east field.
TRAVIS: That's exactly right.
A few weeks ago,
during an experiment
about a half a mile away
in the east field canyon...
Oh. What was that?
We detected a
similar radio signal
that sounded to me like a
possible communication signal.
I think it's two things
talking to each other.
And it was also coming
from inside the mesa.
Right where we've seen UAPs
actually entering the rock face
and then reemerging on the
other side near the triangle.
I've never seen a signal
like that for any reason.
Was this the same
kind of signal?
If so, what might that indicate
about the dome-shaped object?
All we could hope was
that this drilling operation
would help us figure it out.
THOMAS: It's really
just basically right below
- the rock you're standing on?
- ALEX: Yeah.
So, you want me
to pull this back?
Hey, Erik. You got a copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Thomas.
We've encountered
some, uh, circumstances
over here with this drill.
Uh, we'd like to come down
and visit with you about it.
Copy you.
Well, that sounds foreboding.
TRAVIS: We were
all anxious to find out
what the problem
was with the drill,
especially since it happened
right after we detected
that strange signal
from inside the mesa.
- So, what is up, guys?
- THOMAS: They haven't been achieving
the direction that they want.
Oh, wow.
We were about nine-foot-deep
and got another two rods in.
Um, we're still
trying to push it down,
but whatever it is,
we're just scraping
on it and chasing it up.
TRAVIS: Wait, so
you're-you're saying
you're hitting something,
and it's pushing the bit up?
- ALEX: Yeah.
- THOMAS: At the rate he's going,
he'll pop out before he's
even halfway up the hill.
Oh, really? How deep were
you when you started hitting this?
- Uh, probably about 40-feet.
- Wow.
TRAVIS: Well, that's
just inside the mesa.
ERIK: So, what kind of force
or pressure are you
guys at right now?
Anywhere between
Holy crap.
So, what in the hell
have we hit there?
Something hard that's just
keeping us right on top of it.
We're not able to punch into
it, we're just scraping up it.
When have we heard that before?
TRAVIS: Hearing from
Alex that the drill bit was
hitting something
it couldn't penetrate
and was just
scraping alongside it
was like déjà vu all over again.
AARON: We're just
hitting something
really, really hard.
And we're at 8,000
pounds of push.
THOMAS: Guys, you got a copy?
Go ahead, Thomas. We hear you.
It's just pushing up
higher and higher.
TRAVIS: Because that's
exactly what happened
to both of the
previous drill rigs
that attempted to break
through the dome-shaped object.
And this rig was applying
twice as much pressure.
But what's really strange is
that they shouldn't have reached
the dome-shaped object yet.
According to our GPR data,
it's at least 100 feet
deeper inside the mesa.
So, does that mean
the drill hit one of
the other objects
detected around it?
So, are you thinking
you're gonna have to
come all the way out with it
and then move left
or right or something?
We're probably gonna
pull it all the way out,
back the drill up a little bit,
and try and get
a little bit deeper.
- Get under whatever that is?
- Maybe get under whatever it is, yeah.
Okay, so we'll suck
out the spoils pit.
And then back the drill out,
- right? -Yeah. Yes, sir.
- Okay.
TRAVIS: Well, let's go check
the spoils and see what's in them.
- Yep, absolutely. -ERIK: Thank you.
- TRAVIS: Let's go.
THOMAS: After all the
metal flakes that we found
a couple of years ago,
I'm really eager to
look at this spoils pile
and see if there's anything
indicating that we're drilling
into the same metallic object
that we did from two years ago.
♪
That's probably perfect.
All right, guys. Go
ahead and crack it open.
TRAVIS: All right, so now
we're down to the sludgy stuff.
JARED: With the bit
we have on there now,
it grinds the material
down to smaller pieces.
That's good to know.
There might be metallic
flakes in there instead of chunks.
BRYANT: You seeing
anything like the sort?
TRAVIS: No, I
don't think we are.
- You got something?
- Might be.
We may have found
something here, hang on.
Oh... maybe.
This does look like metal.
We are examining the contents
of the spoils pit from
the drilling operation.
One thing does stand out
and that's a small
metallic fragment
like we saw about two years ago.
Could this be some part of
what we've been describing
as a debris field
inside the mesa?
All right, this
sample is collected.
And that's what makes
it interesting to me.
- It's an eventful day.
- THOMAS: I know that
we're gonna be
starting over again.
But we got data out of it,
so, I guess we call it a
day and-and we come back.
- Sounds good. -Sounds good.
- Thank you, guys.
Absolutely. Thank you, guys.
TRAVIS: Looks
like Nu-Salt is here.
Hey, Tim, how you doing,
man? Good to see you.
- Hey. How are you?
- Hey, man, good to see you.
TRAVIS: Our day of drilling
at the mesa may have ended,
but as sundown was approaching,
we regrouped at the triangle
for a nighttime experiment
with our friends
from Nu-Salt Laser
and technologist Pete Kelsey.
Well, it's good to have you
back out to the ranch, Tim.
There's something very
interesting happening
in the space right
above the triangle.
- Okay.
- ERIK: I understand you're bringing
more wattage this
time than the last time
you were out here with us.
TIM: So, this year
we actually have
eight total Laser Space Cannons,
and they're higher
power, so I would expect
we are definitely
gonna see something.
I love the idea of getting
more photons into the sky,
'cause, you know, that'll
help us to paint that space
and see if in fact
we get a repeat
of the things we've seen
before right over this triangle.
TRAVIS: Just like in past years,
we've recently experienced
GPS errors, energy spikes,
and seen several UAPs
that were hundreds of feet
in the sky above the triangle.
Looks like wings.
Not like bird wings...
Look like airplane wings.
And other UAPs
that literally disappeared
about 30 feet high,
right about where we captured
high-speed camera images
of a blob-like anomaly
back in 2022.
Specifically, Tim,
tonight, what we want to do is
surround the anomalous
area above the triangle
with all of the lasers.
That way, if something
does pass through,
it should hit one
of those lasers.
And then, we want to, uh,
pass a laser beam up through
the anomaly and hit a screen.
Tonight, once the sun goes down,
the Nu-Salt team
is going to set up
several high-powered
Laser Space Cannons
that will sh**t
beams of laser light
from the center of the
triangle all the way up
into outer space.
If we see any
breaks in the beams,
it might help us pinpoint
whatever might be
responsible for the anomalies
we've seen and detected
between the ground
and high altitudes.
And they'll also aim an
additional Laser Cannon
at a 12-by-8-foot white screen
that Thomas will position
at the 31-foot mark,
using a lift.
Then I'll use a device
known as a spectrometer
to measure any variations in
the laser beams' color spectrum,
which could indicate
more evidence
of the blob anomaly.
So we're gonna look
all across the spectrum
with all of our sensors,
and hopefully we'll-we'll see
something in that spot again.
ERIK: I know we've got a
lot of equipment to put out,
- so I say we get to it.
- Great.
TRAVIS: All right,
let's do it. Let's go.
Also, to look out
for anything strange
that we won't be able to
see with the naked eye,
Pete Kelsey and Jim
Royston will be scanning
the entire triangle area
with aerial, infrared lidar
and thermal devices.
And all during the experiment,
we're also setting up
multiple cameras
that will be programed
to take long exposure photos
every few seconds
of the triangle,
so if anything passes
through those laser beams,
hopefully we'll
capture images of it.
THOMAS: Good. We
can have a new scan.
TRAVIS: And, of course,
we'll be launching rockets
because a lot of the
really bizarre phenomena
that we've been seeing
during our investigation
here on Skinwalker
Ranch have occurred
just after we launched
rockets that were equipped
with GPS and
energy-detecting devices.
Coming towards ya.
ERIK: Our objective
with the one laser
that is directed at the target
is to determine whether
the light will be scattered,
diverted, or perhaps absorbed
in some way that
requires the presence
of some exotic
physical phenomenon.
- Oh, so it's that way.
- Towards the...
Yeah. Okay. I got it.
ERIK: Given the fact
that we've recorded
what we've termed "the blob"
at about 30 to 40
feet above the triangle,
we won't be surprised
if we see something
unusual happen
with that laser light.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Okay. Very good.
That's probably it.
♪
Yeah, when you come up with
it, it'll be at low power, Chris.
TRAVIS: Tim, you
guys about ready?
TIM: Yeah, we're
ready to go, Travis.
Hey, hey. What
is... Look right here.
What is this?
KALEB: What is that,
right there, right there?
TRAVIS: I don't
see lights on it.
KALEB: I'm not
seeing lights, either.
TRAVIS: I don't see
aviation lights at all.
KALEB: Yeah, I
don't see any strobe.
TRAVIS: I think
that could be a UAP.
Yeah, I can barely
still see it moving
to the north and west.
It's gone.
TRAVIS: We've seen
a lot of UAPs in the sky
during the last few years,
but as an optical scientist
who's worked with NASA
and the Department of
Defense on space technology
for more than three decades now,
this one looked bigger
and brighter than anything
we've ever documented
on Skinwalker Ranch.
It was even
maneuvering like a craft
for several seconds there,
but then it just disappeared.
All right. Well,
let's get going.
Okay, I'm gonna
go lift the screen up.
TIM: We're all hooked
up and ready to go
and we'll energize it
when the backstop
is up in the air.
TRAVIS: All I knew for sure was
that we needed to
start our laser, lidar,
and rocket experiment
at the triangle right away
to see if it reappears
or, given all the legends we've
heard about portals out here,
detect something to
explain why it vanished.
We've got... Pete's
ready over here,
OmniTeq's ready.
Where are you gonna be?
ERIK: I've got to get back
over to the command center
where I've got all the
monitoring screens up
- right now.
- TRAVIS: Great.
Well, I say we get to it.
ERIK: All right.
TRAVIS: Who knows
what might happen next?
TRAVIS: Okay, guys, be advised,
big laser's coming on.
TIM [over walkie]: Hey, Chris.
On the laser,
go ahead and slowly
bring up the power.
Copy that.
♪
TRAVIS: Yeah, that's
bright. Wow, that's bright.
Look at that. Look
at that right there.
Before the Nu-Salt
team turned on
the seven vertical laser cannons
that were positioned
around the triangle,
I wanted to test the one we
had aimed at the whiteboard
positioned 31 feet high.
That's right where we
saw the blob-like anomaly
that may have caused
a rocket to explode
back in 2022.
KALEB: It's like
staring at the sun.
TRAVIS: While the laser
canon fired its beam...
Which has a specific
spectrum of colors...
Into the 31-foot zone,
I watched my spectrometer
for any changes in those colors
which might indicate
something strange
was in the airspace.
So you can see the
red, green and the blue.
Look at that.
Suddenly, it's gotten
brighter in the green
and dropped off in the blue.
Why would it be doing that?
This laser is
programmed to emit light
with no variation in
its brightness or color.
So when I saw the green light
was suddenly getting brighter
while the blue
light started to fade,
and then the colors
actually changed slightly,
that meant something strange
at about 31 feet was causing it.
So it was time for us
to use all of our tools
to identify just what it was.
I think we're at a point now
where we can start
getting the rest of the lasers
ready to go.
- Okay.
- TRAVIS: All right, Tim.
Uh, we're ready to start
getting the big lasers going.
TIM [over walkie]:
All right, Travis.
Let's turn on the lasers,
creating the circle.
Copy that.
All right. Lasers are up.
Lasers are up, guys.
Travis, you copy?
Go ahead, Erik.
ERIK: I'd like to know
what you're seeing
around 1.6 gigahertz over
there on your antennas.
'Cause I do show a source
right behind Homestead Two.
All right, me and Dragon
are going to head back now
and check that, Erik.
Copy you.
We have a system
with five antennas
that we've deployed around
the ranch to monitor activity.
Now, I'm seeing a
out in the west near
Homestead Two
just as we're performing
this experiment.
This is in fact a location
where we've seen
unusual things in the past.
Now, there's
nothing in that space
that should account for that.
Okay, I need to call Erik
and tell him he's right.
We're getting a
signal at 1.6 gigahertz
pointed at Homestead Two.
Hey, Erik, do you copy?
Yeah, Travis, go ahead.
You are correct.
I'm not getting that signal
on any of my antennas
except for the one pointed
out behind Homestead Two.
There is something
coming from that direction.
Travis, that is
really interesting.
I'm gonna keep an eye on that.
Just keep me advised
as to whether you see
any changes on that.
TRAVIS: We still have
no idea what causes
these 1.6 gigahertz signals,
but we've been detecting
them on our spectrum analyzers
for the past few years,
and it's usually
right around the time
when we see UAPs
or experience other
strange things at the triangle.
So, since this 1.6
gigahertz signal showed up
just after we had
detected something strange
with the lasers
above the triangle,
we wanted to kick our
experiment into high gear
to see what would happen next.
All right, next step.
Uh, Jim, you're
gonna run lidar, right?
- Correct.
- TRAVIS: So, Pete,
- I'd rather you run thermal.
- All right, check.
TRAVIS: All right, Jim, if you
want to go ahead and get in the air.
JIM: Yeah, copy
that. All righty.
[buzzing]
Here we go.
Pete's in the air.
JIM: Pete, I'm at 133 feet.
I'm coming to a
hundred feet, Jim.
The lidar and thermal
drones are up in the air.
Copy you, Travis.
- Try to go hot on the battery.
- TRAVIS: All right.
Rocket going hot in five, four,
three, two,
one.
Did y'all see that?
It was like it was diverted
around the anomaly.
It's gonna land on the mesa.
The rocket should
have gone straight up,
but it clearly flew up in
this odd S-shaped pattern,
as if something
redirected its course.
So, could it have been
the blob that did that?
PETE [over walkie]: Hey, have
we got anybody on the ground
over by where the orb
came out of the mesa?
To my knowledge, not.
What are you seeing?
PETE: So I've got something
really warm on the ground
near where you told me
an orb flew out of the mesa.
TRAVIS [over walkie]:
What are you seeing?
So I've got something
really warm on the ground
near where you told me
an orb flew out of the mesa.
TRAVIS: What?
- On the ground?
- PETE: Yeah.
Our lasers and rockets
had just detected
something in the 31-foot
blob zone at the triangle
when, all of the sudden,
Pete Kelsey noticed that
his aerial thermal drone
picked up a strange heat anomaly
several hundred feet to
the northeast by the mesa.
And that was right near the spot
where we captured
video last year
of a UAP flying out of the mesa
and straight
toward the triangle.
Was it there before the launch?
- PETE: Not that I noticed.
- Where, where?
Right here.
TRAVIS: What the hell is that?
PETE: That's just weird.
I was just panning
around and saw it.
That's almost up at
the base of the mesa.
TRAVIS: I'll tell you what,
Dragon, let's jump in the
jeep and drive over there.
BRYANT: That's a good idea.
TRAVIS: We had no idea
what Pete had just detected,
but since that's
where we documented
one of the most shocking
events we've ever seen
on Skinwalker Ranch,
which also might be
connected to the triangle,
I wanted to get over
there with Dragon
to see if we could
figure out what it was.
PETE: I got great
visual on you, guys.
BRYANT [over walkie]:
All right, so walk us in.
PETE [over walkie]:
You're-you're on a good line,
just keep-keep
walking that track.
So bear right a little bit.
Bull's-eye.
BRYANT: Yep. It is a big rock.
PETE: That's just weird.
It doesn't look like any
other rock around it.
TRAVIS: I mean, I don't
know what-what to think of it.
It was definitely strange
that this massive
boulder appeared
as a major heat source on
Pete Kelsey's thermal device,
because other large
rocks right near it
were much darker, or cooler,
as we'd normally expect.
[singing]
But back in 2022,
we detected a strange heat
anomaly up on top of the mesa.
When they started singing,
the temperature
literally changed.
Look how hot it's getting.
And then saw two UAPs
actually fly into the top of it.
There's no geological
reason why this rock
would emit heat like that and
show up on a thermal scan.
All right, well, it was, it
was worth taking a look at.
- We'll head back.
- Yep.
Thanks, guys.
TRAVIS: So, it really
left us wondering
what it is about this location
that would explain the hot rock,
especially since it's near
where we've seen a UAP
exit the mesa.
And why did it show up
right after something
caused our rocket
to veer off course
in the blob zone
at the triangle?
There has to be some
kind of connection.
Yep. All right, here we go.
Let's get a rocket ready
and let's do it again.
As soon as Dragon and
I got back to the triangle,
we wanted to immediately
launch the last rocket we had
to see if it would go
straight up this time,
like it should, or
get diverted again.
If something was
above the triangle,
we needed to do whatever we
could to figure out what it was.
We're ready, Jim.
Are you about ready?
ROYSTON [over walkie]: Yeah,
I'm getting it in the air right now.
Okay.
Hey, everybody, uh, do you copy?
We are going to,
uh, launch a rocket here.
Uh, so be warned, be advised.
Everybody clear
out for the lasers.
TIM: Lasers up, Chris.
Lasers up.
TRAVIS: The rocket is
going hot. Rocket is hot!
Going in five...
four, three,
two, one.
How did it go over there?
BRYANT: I don't know.
There's hardly any wind.
All right, let's go back
and, uh, see what they got.
Okay.
TRAVIS: Sure enough,
the rocket veered away
instead of going straight up,
as though something
pushed it off course.
Who knows what caused
it, but it was really weird that
the same thing
happened multiple times.
I don't see anything
weird or crazy.
Uh, Pete, are you
seeing anything?
Jim, are you seeing anything?
KALEB [over walkie]: Nope.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
ROYSTON [over walkie]: We
just flew on that last rocket launch.
There was nothing in the air.
Okay.
Hey, Erik, do you copy?
Yes, Travis. Go ahead.
TRAVIS [over walkie]:
You see anything exciting?
ERIK: I didn't see
anything jumping out at me.
TRAVIS: We're about to
wrap up out here at the tent.
Um, I'll run out
and join you guys,
if it's not too much to wait.
No. Come on, man. We'll wait.
It's like that a lot out here.
One minute, we're
seeing and detecting
strange things that
we can't explain,
and then the next
minute, nothing.
Okay, guys, uh, we can
bring the lasers down,
and, uh, let's start... let's
shut everything down.
Whatever was in that airspace
seemed to have
suddenly just vanished.
Hey, guys.
Just like some of the UAPs
we've recently seen.
Well...
Erik, did you see
anything in the cameras?
ERIK: There were so
many different views,
um, I-I could've
missed anything.
But, uh,
if in fact we got
anything like that blob,
we should be able to run
some filters on it and find it.
You know, uh, it's
really interesting, uh,
at one point, we did pick up
a signal around 1.6 gigahertz
pointed at Homestead Two.
I got to tell you, that's been
really persistent tonight.
TRAVIS: Yeah.
We got a lot of data, though,
'cause every time
we did something,
we had two drones in the air.
One doing thermal,
one doing lidar.
It was a lot to track.
We'll look at the data,
and after we absorb
some of that and
assimilate the data,
we'll reconvene.
All right, let's start
breaking down.
- ERIK: How we doing?
- TRAVIS: All right.
We are just about to review
everything that happened
during the exercise with Nu-Salt.
In effect, trying to
probe the anomaly
directly above the triangle.
THOMAS: That night was so crazy.
BRYANT: That was
quite an experiment.
TRAVIS: The day
after our multi-laser
rocket experiment
at the triangle,
Jim Royston, Pete Kelsey,
Erik, and I scoured
through our data,
hoping that we would see
something at 31 feet in the air
that might explain all the
strange things we detected.
But instead, we found something
that none of us were expecting.
So, near the tent, you
guys remember we had
a couple of cameras locked off
on the Space Cannon
beams going up.
- Yep.
- And they were set to take
a snapshot every so often,
and we found something
that is, uh, really odd.
ERIK: Yeah, odd
to say the least.
I can't explain this.
- THOMAS: Whoa.
- KALEB: No.
TRAVIS: Yeah, looks like the
beam stops and then starts again.
So, if there was something
in there blocking the beam,
it wouldn't continue above it.
THOMAS: How could it block
out the green and not the blue?
TRAVIS: It doesn't
make any sense at all.
I've never seen
anything like this ever.
And if you look at
the ends of the beams,
the beams look rounded off.
ERIK: Yeah, these do, certainly.
Here and here.
And it appears that
this is cutting into
the beam profile
on the left-hand side.
What-what could be doing that?
ERIK: I see that the green light
on the lasers directed skyward
has been affected by something
for which I have no explanation.
I'm not even sure
how it is possible
for this beam to be interrupted,
as we see in the image,
and then to resume.
This-this makes no sense.
I don't think any of us has
a good explanation for it.
And it didn't just happen
in one of the images.
- [laughs] Oh, no.
- BRYANT: You're kidding me.
THOMAS: What?
ERIK: So, here we see
unaffected, blue-ish...
TRAVIS: Blue-ish
and purple lasers, right.
- And now, look. Look there.
- ERIK: Look here.
- Look near the top here.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.
Again, just the
green, just the green.
ERIK: It's got that
hard-edge geometry on it.
I c... I cannot explain
it. I do not understand it,
but there it is, and then,
uh, we have another one.
Look here.
THOMAS: Yeah.
So, you see, we had
this in three different
long-exposure photographs.
And they're all at about
TRAVIS: And, if we're running
around doing so much stuff,
we may not ever looked at
the right time and saw this.
Yeah.
TRAVIS: The fact that we
captured three different images
of gaps in only the
green laser beam
showed that this
wasn't a camera error.
Something created
three different voids
in just the green laser beams
at a height of about 100
feet above the triangle.
I guess the question
is, what is it that causes
this thing to show up?
Yes. I was just thinking,
"Can I make it happen again?"
TRAVIS: How were you thinking
you'd make it happen again?
ERIK: Well, I was just
thinking of really bright
infrared illumination, you
know, that I can control.
TRAVIS: Maybe we shine
one laser with the lidar?
- ERIK: Yes.
- We should also launch a rocket
through it while
we're doing the lidar.
ERIK: Absolutely.
I want to understand
what just happened here.
TRAVIS: We don't
know if the voids
in the green laser were
related to the UAP that we saw,
or what caused our
rockets to veer off course.
But the experiment
was a success.
We now have a specific spot
to focus on for more experiments
that will hopefully
lead to some answers.
I love the idea of trying to see
if there's anything that
can stimulate to see it again.
- Yup. Yup.
- Yup. Yup.
I guess we need to
invite these guys back
- and bring those lasers back here.
- ERIK: Absolutely.
Absolutely. I want to understand
what just happened here.
- I did not expect to see that.
- Right.
- ERIK: Okay. Thanks, guys.
- THOMAS: Thank you.
ERIK: We've seen so
many unusual things
happen here above the triangle.
It raises the question as to
what could be operating there?
What could be
present in that space?
Could it be related to something
in the UFO or UAP domain?
We can't dismiss it,
and that's tantalizing.
TRAVIS: We don't know yet
how all the crazy phenomena
we keep seeing and
detecting out here
at Skinwalker Ranch might
be related to one another,
but after what happened
during this past experiment,
I think we have a lot
more evidence to suggest
that the triangle and
the mesa could be
the keys to figuring it out.
BRANDON: The world's attention
has been drawn to Skinwalker Ranch.
The mesa and the triangle
have proven to be key centers
of gravity for high strangeness.
Utilizing a vast array
of equipment,
we've documented
the most compelling evidence
that there is something
very strange at play.
With so many
crazy events occurring,
more than ever before,
we'll be focusing efforts
to get some answers,
to better document
the nature of what
we are interacting with
here at Skinwalker Ranch.
