00x11 - Behind the Gates: Phenomenal Connections

[bunniefuu]

TRAVIS: What the hell
is that in the sky?

After five years
of intense investigation

on Skinwalker Ranch...

The meter's going nuts.

Our team has documented

unbelievable phenomena

all across the mysterious


Look at this. What the heck
would have burned this post?

TRAVIS: At locations
like the triangle...

Wow. Look at that.

TRAVIS: the mesa...

Popping smoke, popping smoke.

THOMAS: Look, look.
It's getting sucked in.

TRAVIS: Homestead Two...

What I saw doesn't belong here.

- Hold on.
- Hey.

TRAVIS: and more.

Right there.

We've experienced
everything from UAPs,

freak energy spikes

and underground anomalies
that have left us perplexed

as to what they are or
where they came from.

THOMAS: Feel the difference.

TRAVIS: Oh, wow. It's freezing.

Tonight, we're looking
back at compelling evidence

we've documented that suggests

all of these phenomena
and hot spots...

Look at that.

TRAVIS: might
be directly related.

-Oh. -Oh! Whoa. What was that?

TRAVIS: Between
otherworldly legends

of local Native American tribes

and rumors about
interdimensional gateways

reported by the Robert
Bigelow investigation...

that was partially financed

by the federal government
a couple decades ago...

our team is still trying
to figure out the truth

behind all the phenomena
that we've witnessed

on Skinwalker Ranch.

Look right here.

ERIK: This thing is
really clipping along.

TRAVIS: All we know for sure is

that they are real, and
they seem to appear...

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

TRAVIS: and disappear

without any
conventional explanation.

- That's insane.
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: And one of the hot
spots that we've been focusing on

for several years to find
some answers is simply known

as "the triangle."

All right.

Are you gonna be able
to get the lidar drone up?

- Yup.
- Let's go.

After documenting multiple UAPs

and energy signals there

between 5,000 and
just 30 feet high...

Check that out, Erik.
Real-time lidar point cloud.

In 2022,

Jim Royston of OmniTeq
flew an infrared lidar drone

just above the triangle
while we launched a rocket.

We hoped that Jim
would capture images

of anything invisible
to the naked eye

that might explain the
cause of the phenomena.

Hey, that's a beautiful launch.

We caught it. It was amazing.

- ERIK: You want to lead us into it?
- ROYSTON: Absolutely.

TRAVIS: After he further
processed the data,

we could hardly
believe what we saw.

- What was that spot?
- ROYSTON: For the last couple hours,

our team is trying to
look at this and say,

"Okay, what would
cause this void?"

TRAVIS: Can you zoom way out?

- Whoa.
- ERIK: Look at that.

TRAVIS: It was a
perfect circular anomaly

with a black void
right in the center.

It's-it's a shadow of something.

What... what are we looking at?

-THOMAS: A black
hole? [laughs] -Could be...

-I mean... -TRAVIS:
Well, that could be

a shadow of a wormhole.

Our speculation
was only reinforced

when a follow-up lidar
scan at the triangle

produced a three-dimensional
doughnut-shaped ring

just above the ground.

For decades, many scientists
have theorized that wormholes...

which are passageways

between two distant
points in space and time...

could actually exist.

And the circular anomalies

that Jim captured on his
lidar device appeared similar

in structure to a
theoretical wormhole.

All right, Cameron, be
advised we're ready to launch.

Are you in position?

TRAVIS: Later
that year, Erik Bard

and Kaleb Bench
flew above the triangle

with Brandon and Cameron
Fugal in their helicopter

to scan the airspace
with a spectrum analyzer

while we launched
rockets from the ground.

Dude, that one went.

ERIK: I'm getting lots of
noise in the RF spectrum.

It's as if there was, in fact,

some active
interference taking place.

Perhaps even some
kind of jamming.

TRAVIS: Right after Erik
detected the radio frequency

interference on his
spectrum analyzer,

Cameron... who was wearing

military-grade night
vision goggles...

saw what he described as a bunch

of orb-like UAPs
flying past the chopper.

No one else could see them
so it was anybody's guess

what they were or where
they were coming from.

ERIK: I have some
video footage taken

from the vantage
point of the helicopter

that we all need to get eyes on,

and you'll see why.

TRAVIS: Yeah. I
see the triangle off

- to the bottom left here, right?
- ERIK: Yup.

BRYANT: Whoa.

-Oh. -TRAVIS: Behind the mesa.

- Where'd it go?
- Where'd it go?

- Did it go right behind the mesa?
- ERIK: Yes.

- TRAVIS: It did come out of the mesa.
- BRYANT: Oh, my gosh.

- CAMERON: Came out of the mesa?
- It did come out of the mesa.

It came right out of the mesa.

What?

Yeah.

TRAVIS: One of the incredible

Native American legends

we had heard was about UAPs

flying into and out of mesas.

And here, we captured images

of one entering the
mesa in the east field,

then exiting the other side

and flying right
toward the triangle.

Was this one of the
UAPs that Cameron saw?

And also, how could it fly
straight through solid rock?

Curiously, right where
the UAP entered the mesa,

there is an ancient petroglyph

that reportedly depicts
an interdimensional portal.

So, could there be some kind
of portal-related connection

between the east field

and the triangle on
Skinwalker Ranch?

Incredibly, that's just one
of the possible explanations

that we've discovered
during our investigation.

You're all good to go, huh?

Okay.

TRAVIS: One of
the craziest rumors

about Skinwalker Ranch is that

some kind of secret base

or alien structure is
buried underground.

So, in 2021,

after a former member of
the Bigelow team told us about

an old cave entrance
that was covered

by tons of boulders on the mesa,

we conducted a
drilling operation to see

if anything of interest
might be in there.

Hey, guys, come on down here.

That was quite the noise
that was just making.

Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.

So, we're coming up about


So, it sounds like
you're describing

kind of a "V"

where this hard
shelf is coming down,

and now you're
saying that it's starting

to turn and go back up,
so we've got kind of a...

a "V" that your bit is sitting
there bumping up against.

May not even be a "V," it
could even be maybe a dome.

TRAVIS: A massive
dome-shaped obstruction

buried deep in the mesa that
the drill couldn't penetrate?

If that wasn't strange enough,

when we searched
through the drilling spoils,

we found a bunch
of metal fragments.

And after testing them
at the University of Utah,

they turned out to be composed

of the same kinds of materials

that NASA and SpaceX use

to protect the
surfaces of spacecraft.

After two separate drilling
operations were unsuccessful

in penetrating the bottom and
top of the dome-shaped object,

in 2023 ground-penetrating
radar expert

Jan Francke ran an
extensive survey over the mesa

to get us better data on
what could be buried in there.

JAN: Remember, this is
not the shape of the object.

This is just what
the radar sees.

Mm-hmm.

JAN: The main target
is very, very clear.

But as we look at this,

there is an absolutely
obvious target

that extends across
this entire area.

Wow.

It looks a lot like you would
think a debris field would be.

ERIK: Just think

about what circumstances
would produce a debris field

inside of a mesa.

TRAVIS: Erik was right.

What could cause a
debris field like that?

Especially given our own video

of a UAP passing through
another section of the mesa

and flying toward the triangle.

Later that summer, we came
up with a new strategy to find out.

The plan was to drill boreholes

on either side of the
dome-shaped object

that would go all the way up
through the top of the mesa.

Then we could insert
scanning devices

to hopefully identify what
all these anomalies are

and figure out how
best to uncover them.

Boy, you can hear that
below us, can't you?

Yeah.

Jared, do you got a copy?
Are you going through

something real hard
right now or what?

I'm into something
fairly decently hard.

I'm only going
about a foot a minute

at 12,000 pounds.

TRAVIS: At about 180 feet in,

the drill... which
should have been able

to cut through the
rock like nothing...

hit something that seemed to
not only slow the operation down

but might have caused some
other really weird things to happen.

ERIK: What are you
tuning into there, Travis?

TRAVIS: There's
a signal at 1.6-ish.

All right, guys, the 1.6
measured by the Kraken is coming

right down the line
from Homestead Two.

Right there.

TRAVIS: During many of
our experiments at the triangle,

the east field and the mesa,

we've detected radio
signals at 1.6 gigahertz.

And Erik and I believe that some
of them may have been a form

of communication from
an unknown source.

But it was eerie that Erik's
Kraken antenna system

pinpointed this one
several hundred yards away

at Homestead Two.

We've not only documented
a lot of phenomena there...

including orb-like UAPs...

but past ranch investigators
from the Bigelow team

have told us that they believed

there could actually be
an interdimensional portal

in that area.

Holy crap.

It is right here.

It is coming from
straight overhead.

When Kaleb and I
got over there to see

if we could find the
actual source of the signal,

we discovered that it was
coming from directly overhead,

in the sky.

I want to put a
rocket right here

and launch it right
up through there.

So, with Dragon's help,

we launched a rocket to see
if it would come into contact

with whatever might be up there.

We're launching
in three, two, one.

TRAVIS: Boy, that one
went straight up, didn't it?

The rocket shot up
several hundred feet

without any kind
of interference.

But then

one of the weirdest things
we've ever seen happened.

KALEB: Almost looked like it
stopped right there for a second.

- Dude, it looks like it's stuck there. Look.
- KALEB: Yeah.

TRAVIS: Look, it's
not moving at all.

- It's just sitting there.
- KALEB: It stopped.

TRAVIS: The rocket froze midair

for several seconds
as if something invisible

was holding onto it.

Could whatever was broadcasting

that 1.6 gigahertz signal

have somehow taken
hold of the rocket?

And was it connected

to whatever is buried
inside the mesa?

Another experiment
that we conducted

at the triangle would
offer a possible answer.

One that might be connected

to a lot of the phenomena
we've experienced

all across the ranch.

PETE: There is an anomaly
right at Homestead Two.

TRAVIS: It's coming up from
that angle to some point above us.

Kind of looks about as
high as the laser went.

And we've measured something
nobody has ever seen before.

This is incredible.

R mesa-drilling operation
continued in 2023...

Are you ready to
make it bright again?

I am. Let's do it.

We conducted another

multi-tech experiment
at the triangle

to further investigate the
anomalous zone between

the ground and nearly
a mile high in the air.

- You ready to paint the ground, paint the sky?
- Absolutely.

- You ready, Jim?
- We're ready.

So, we got a lot to
do, so I say we get to it.

The plan was for our friends

from a company named
Nu-Salt Laser Light Shows

to set up a laser cannon
that would sh**t a single beam

up through the anomalous zone
while we launched some rockets.

ROYSTON: Man, we
got all kinds of TVs.

TRAVIS: Meanwhile, we
would scan the entire area

from the ground to the sky
surrounding the laser beam

with three different
types of lidar devices.

One would be an aerial
drone-based device

operated by Jim Royston.

Another was a
terrestrial laser scanner

that Pete Kelsey
set up on a tripod

in the triangle area.

And finally, Kaleb
Bench was operating

a hand-held unit known
as a SLAM scanner.

All three of these
devices use infrared light

that can image things on
the ground and in the air

that the naked eye
might not be able to see.

Okay, Tim, you're ready to test.

Right. We're ready.
Laser's coming on.

Laser's on.

TRAVIS: There you go.

Uh, guys.

We are hitting something
with the laser. Y-Y'all, look.

We're hitting something.

You see the spot up there?

That... it should just be a beam.

What are we hitting?

DON: I have no idea.

TRAVIS: The laser beam
was clearly being cut off,

or absorbed, by something

about 2,000 feet in the sky.

Well, look at that.

So you guys are
aware, just be advised

we have seen a 1.6...

TRAVIS: Then, just
like what happened

during our drilling
operation in the mesa,

Erik's Kraken system detected

a 1.6 gigahertz signal
coming from Homestead Two.

And moments later, he saw a UAP

over the mesa on his
infrared surveillance camera.

- THOMAS: Wow.
- This is crazy.

It is not like an asteroid

or, I mean, a
comet or a meteorite

- or anything like that.
- ERIK: No. -No.

You know, looking at
this has just made me

all the more curious

about SLAM scanning.
Did anything happen

- with the lidar device?
- Yep, and...

Well, I'll just show you.

TRAVIS: The next day,

after studying the
shocking video of the UAP,

we couldn't wait to see what
all the lidar data might show us.

PETE: So, this was Kaleb's path
while walking with the lidar scanner.

A lidar scan can
see fine details

that would be invisible to
the naked eye aboveground,

but just wait.

- THOMAS: What?
- PETE: That's impossible.

Lidar can't see
through the ground.

-No. -Oh, my God.

The lidar somehow imaged
a massive ring of data

beneath the triangle

that matched up perfectly
with the two previous

circular anomalies
that Jim Royston

had detected at the triangle.

Was this more
evidence of a wormhole?

We don't know, but it
was just the beginning

of what this
experiment revealed.

PETE: This is one

of the terrestrial
laser scans we did

from our perspective
at the triangle.

The terrestrial laser
scanner can see

farther and gather more points

per second than the
SLAM scanner can.

We're looking at an
anomaly out in the east field.

What in the actual crap?

That is insane.

PETE: I don't know what it is,

but there had to
be something there

for the lidar to detect it.

Can you zoom out further?

Look at that.

Yeah, look at this. What?

Look at this smear all around.

It's like we're inside
a cone of something.

Can you look up?

- It does go into a cone.
- KALEB: Whoa.

- Look at that.
- TRAVIS: I mean that is insane.

You're inside it.
We're all inside it.

The terrestrial scanner imaged
a massive cone-shaped anomaly.

It stretched all the way
from Homestead Two,

where we detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal,

over to the east field canyon.

And what was really incredible

is, the apex was directly
above the center of the triangle

at 2,000 feet.

The exact altitude
where our laser beam

was cut off during
the experiment.

Could this be what
causes all the phenomena

at those three hot spots
on Skinwalker Ranch?

We conducted another
experiment to find out,

and, believe it or not, the
results were even crazier.

M.-Drone going up, Pete.

TRAVIS: After all
the crazy phenomena

we documented across
the ranch in 2023...

Okay, we're gonna get airborne.

Our final experiment of the year

truly left us wondering if
these things are interconnected.

- TRAVIS [over walkie]: Cameron, are you in place?
- I am.

TRAVIS: The experiment
involved multiple technologies,

including launching rockets...

There it goes. Rocket's up.

A mobilized,
ranch-wide lidar scan

that was also tracked
by Cameron Fugal

- in the helicopter...
- Go.

And a hot-air
balloon propane burner

that we used as a
huge flamethrower

at the center of the triangle.

Three. Two. One. Stop.

The results were
absolutely amazing...

- KALEB: Whoa, what was that?
- BOBBY: I don't know.

Something just went right
across the mesa like that.

And affirming.

We once again detected
the cone-shaped anomaly

stretching from Homestead Two,

through the triangle,
and over to the east field.

And while we
didn't see more data

related to ring-shaped
anomalies at the triangle,

we did see those exact kind
of phenomena in the east field.

PETE: So, have a look at this.

This is familiar but
different this time.

Why are there data points
underneath the surface?

PETE: Exactly. So,
that is impossible.

Lidar can't see
through the ground.

Oh, wow.

That is amazing.

I mean, the textbook
definition of anomalous.

PETE: There's one more for me

to show that's kind of crazy.

You see these
right here in the sky?

Oh, yeah.

That's looking back toward

the photogrammetry anomaly.

We obtained more
possible evidence

of a massive
column-shaped anomaly,

which we first
documented back in 2021.

Whoa.

ERIK: Look at this structure.

This phantom structure
that's sticking up in the sky.

That's nuts.

TRAVIS: Multiple UAPs also
appeared in our specialized camera data,

which were maneuvering
all around the helicopter.

- Isn't that bizarre?
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: And finally, a
mysterious light appeared

in Dry Gulch Creek,

which is located
in the south field.

- TRAVIS: Oh.
- BRYANT: What the hell?

TRAVIS: What could that be?

This wouldn't be my
lights from the helicopter?

No, your spotlight was out
well in front of the helicopter.

- CAMERON: Oh, yeah. Okay.
- This is coming from directly below.

Why... why in the river?
I mean, that's so bizarre.

THOMAS: Not just
anywhere in the river,

but I think that
this spot in the river

has special significance

based on our
excursion down the river.

BRYANT: That wolf
creature that was described

as a possibility of
an ancient dire wolf.

That's not very far around
the bend from there.

No, it's not.

TRAVIS: This is where

we recently discovered
a dead creature

that, according to
biologist Ben Woodruff...

BEN: The size fits
into that hole perfectly.

May have been a dire wolf.

- What?
- You kidding me?

TRAVIS: A kind of predator
which supposedly went extinct

about 10,000 years ago.

Everything I'm measuring,
everything I'm looking at says

it looks like it has dire wolf
in it or is a young dire wolf.

TRAVIS: The experiment gave us

more incredible data
that suggests

all the phenomena we keep
encountering on the ranch

may be connected to one another.

If that's the case,
what is the cause?

All I know for sure is,
we won't stop this investigation

until we know exactly what the
secret of Skinwalker Ranch is.
