07x06 - All Mesa'd Up

Post by bunniefuu »

All right, you can drill.

So, much the same as we've done
in previous runs.

How far down in the ground
will this one allow us to see?

At least a hundred feet, if not more.

That's great. Okay. Kaleb and I - Yeah.

Are starting our first run with the GPR.

I would like to start off
with doing a ceremony.


This is just crazy. The tree's
hotter than the house.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

None of this makes any sense.

Just watch what happens right there.

- So you see that feature right here?
- Yeah.

I'm not sure what this is.

What in the world is that?

That's got to be hundreds
of feet in the air.

Wow.

There is a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing occurrences on Earth.


For two decades,

the federal government

investigated the property.

Their findings
have never been made public.


Right there! We got something!

Now a new team

of independent scientists
and researchers are taking over.


They are uncovering evidence

that the countless stories...

It came right out of the mesa.

Of unidentified aerial phenomena...

UAP right there!

Bizarre energies...

It looks like there's
a heat source right above 'em.

And portals that lead
to other dimensions...


We're maybe looking at the anomaly

for the first time, guys.

Might actually be true.

They will stop at nothing to reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

Hey, Jan. Thanks for jumping on with us.

Hey, guys. How are you?

We're in suspense here.

I can't wait to find out what you got

out of those scans
that you did in the mesa.

For the past several days,
Jan's been crunching data

from two new
ground-penetrating radar scans.

We ran one inside
the mesa through Borehole 1


and then did a second scan
along the surface of the mesa.


The hope is to get better images
of the large object


and smaller anomalies that we
think are buried inside there.


Well, we got interesting data,

and, as always,
just is a, is a head scratcher.


Wow, you got us on
the edge of our seats.

So, here's the first one
from inside Borehole 1.


And look, if this was
anywhere else other than.


Skinwalker Ranch,
you know, a sandstone mesa


in Utah, we'd see basically nothing.

It would be a gray screen.

If there was a specific anomaly, well,

we'd see some specific returns
from it, but this data,


this is so overwhelmed with interference

that I can't make anything out of it.

- Jan, dude, that data is a mess.
- Yep. Yep, so the data set

is overwhelmed with

interference that is confusing the signal.

Are you kidding me?

As we go down,

there is this central zone

that seems to be, well,

I mean, somewhere from about,

say, 150 to 200 feet in.

We have a higher amplitude

interference that is occurring
inside the mesa.

And it just completely
prevents me from getting


anything useful from this data.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Well, let me show you the data

from the surface scan that we did.

- Okay.
- This is the hard work

that you and-and, Kaleb did
going down the face of the mesa.

- Yeah.
- And this is your path.

We had some nice, straight runs here.

And when we go and look at

the data, it's the same issue.

Just interference. Again, we're

not getting energy into the ground.

Something's just blocking us.

Now, are there any natural sources

of interference
that could account for this?

Absolutely nothing natural that I know of.

You know, the only way
that I've seen this sort of-of

interference on surface radar,

around airports or military installations.

That is crazy.

Wow, yes, yes.

It's crazy that Jan
mentioned the interference

possibly being connected
to a military installation.

There's been rumors
for years that there's

some kind of secret base
buried underneath the ranch.

And last year, when we were looking at

aerial photos of the mesa,

we found evidence that some
of the pictures from the 1960s


were actually doctored
right at the drill site.


I don't know if
that interference could suggest


those rumors are true,
but it sure makes you wonder.


Well, do you think whatever's
buried in there did this?

Now, that's a good question.

It would have to be pretty powerful.

All we can say for sure
from this data is the sandstone


isn't sending a signal that
would create this interference.


As frustrating as this is,

it's also really freaking intriguing.

Just what the heck is in there?

So, Jan, what next steps can we take?

Is there something
we can do to get good data?

So, guys, I want to come out
and try these scans again,


but this time, I got
to figure out a way to block


whatever is causing this interference.

So to do that, I've come up
with something called


a coded sequence radar,

and this is what I made you.

They're used

in military settings, usually,
to overcome interference.

When we use a GPR device like this,

it sends out an encrypted signal
that only we can decode,


and that should eliminate
this interference


- and finally give us some clear data.
- Wow.


So, I'd like to try that out in the borehole.

That's impressive.

I think that if anything
is gonna get through,

it needs to be a coded radar.

Yep, yep.

- Wow.
- Yep.

Well this is fantastic, sounds great.

Well... Look,
we know you've got a lot of work

to do, and, we appreciate the time

you've set aside
to walk us through the data.

Yeah, I'll be back out in a couple weeks.

Sounds great, Jan.
Can't wait to get you back out.

I'm excited.

All right, take care, guys.

After meeting with Jan,

we made a beeline for the mesa

to check in with the guys
from Triple A Drilling.

This is the day, I think.

- We hope.
- I like that optimism.

So, at this point,
you guys have drilled down

- to 28 feet.
- Yes, sir.

And then, really,
you've only got five feet left

until you hopefully
run into that hard object

- we hit last year.
- Right.

When you look at the

four-foot-diameter hole
these guys have been drilling

for almost two weeks now,

it gets you pumped for what
we're gonna find 33 feet deep.

That's right where our horizontal drill

was destroyed last year by
something harder than granite.


And it's also where
we discovered the ceramics


that appear to be
machine-made and also


seem to have heat-resistant properties

similar to the shield tiles
used on modern spacecraft.


- So, you think that'll take all day?
- Yeah.

- Let's get to work. Got a lot to do.
- All right. Let's go.

Hey, Pete. Just in time.

So, we'll just start on your word.

We're good to go over here,

so I'll tell 'em to go ahead
and crank it up.

Thanks for that.

This borehole is just

five feet shy of hitting whatever object

might be giving up the signal
that messed with Jan's GPR data,


so we're all excited to see
what today's drilling turns up.

Meanwhile, archeologist Chris Roberts

will be carefully searching
the spoils for any signs


of the hard object or more
of those strange ceramics.


Now he's on something.

- 33?
- 32 and a half right now.

How-how hard does this feel? Can...

Do you have a sense
on what you're grinding on?

- I-I don't know.
- I mean, that could be it.

Could be.

Any abnormal sound

from the drill makes us jump.

And we're wondering,

are we finally hitting that hard object?

Let's do put the auger on.

Let's see if we can pull something up.

Because even if you chip the top,

it might... when you bring the auger up,

- if we can look at the bottom...
- Yeah.

There might be pieces of whatever it is.

- Sure.
- So far,

we'd been using a core
drilling bit to get the best


samples out of this borehole.

But because Brandon wants us to
be real careful not to destroy


whatever the object is,

right now, we need to be cautious.

Using an auger bit lets us drill
a much smaller sample.

Hopefully, what it brings up is interesting.

There we go.

- Bo, everybody's ready to go.
- Okay.

- You're good to turn it up.
- All right.

I want to see unnatural material

- coming out of there.
- Absolutely.

If we have unnatural material
on the bottom of there,

I'm doing a, I'm doing a happy dance.

Yes. Yeah, absolutely.

Thomas, how far do you want

- to dig into it is what I'm asking.
- Not a lot.

Clean-clean it out.

So, go ahead and come out,
and then we'll go in again

and do a clean out.

I've got Kaleb
and Thomas actually helping me


do some screenings,
just in case we had something


magnetic come out.
We're running the magnet


over the deposits and trying to see

if we can find something,
and, I'm just excited


that we're actually getting to a depth

where I think
we might run into something.

Man.

Anything?

- You find something?
- Yeah.

Wow. What is that?

Way back in 2021,
we found metal flakes


in our drilling spoils.

My.

We were working near the center

of the buried object in the mesa.

And after we found the flakes,
we ran tests that showed

they contained rare elements
that are also being used

in the manufacturing
of advanced electronics

and even the aerospace industry.

Thomas to science tent,
do you guys copy?

Yeah, Thomas, go ahead.

I want to know
if you guys could come over


to the drill.
We've got something to show you.


Absolutely. We'll step right over.

Finding metal fragments in the spoils

further validates that there's

artificial artifacts

deep down inside the mesa.

I'm hoping, as we sift through the spoils,

we can find some more
of that ceramic-like material.


But at this point, each time
that we learn something more

about what's down in that hole,

we're gonna get closer
to finally finding the answer

of what lies beneath our feet.

- Check out what we found..
- Look at that.

W-Where'd that come from?

- All in that pile.
- All right,

that's what I was expecting to see.

That's a lot of metal.
It looks like iron filings.

Look at that, how they're standing up.

- That is clear metal shavings man.
- Yeah.

You just ground something off of
a piece of steel or something.

- These are planar fragments of magnetic material.
- Yes.

Probably shaved off
with this thing right here

- of whatever it's hitting.
- Yeah.

Yeah, this is not your typical
magnetic dust that you pull

- out of the sand.
- No, it's not just mud.

Well, this is cool.

- Can't wait to see what else we found.
- Yeah.

And I need to get back
to the science tent.

Yeah. Let us know
if you find anything else.

- All right? All right. This is cool.
- Okay.

Yeah, so we're hitting metal now.

We still haven't hit
the ceramic-like material.

That'll be interesting
if any pieces of that come out.

But this is a huge indication
we are in the right spot.

Well, let's drill a little deeper

- and see what comes up.
- Yeah.

Since we're only finding

little bits of this metal,

we're switching back
to the bigger core barrel.


That will allow us
to pull up larger amounts

of spoils, which hopefully contain

more samples of whatever's down there.

We'll just have to go slow

to make sure we don't damage whatever

- the object is.
- All right.

- We're gonna spin that drill up.
- Copy that.

Listen to that.

I think that drill's on something big.

It sounds like it's skipping.

Or something, like,
fanning across the teeth.

- That sounds different. I can hear it.
- Yeah.

Hey, Jed, this feels different down there.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, it feels shaky.

We're at 33 foot, and it's more grabby.

- Yeah, I can hear it. Hey, Tom,
- Hey, Thomas...

you hear that difference in the drill?

There's something different.

He just hit 33, maybe 33-foot, one inch.

Listen to this.

Whoa!

That's something different
that we haven't seen before.

Look at that.

Holy smokes.

Look at it, it's shaking the drill.

Feels like you're hitting metal.

As we hit this hard object,

I have Brandon's voice in
the back of my mind telling me,


"I don't want to damage what it is

that we're trying to observe."

I don't like the way that's sounding.

I mean, it sounds
like metal under stress.

I think we're gonna
have to stop this down.

You know, we've been engaging
with this anomaly for so long,

I think it's reasonable
that we're all in suspense.

But it's absolutely essential to
continue to take a very careful


approach to intersecting
with that anomaly in the mesa.


Hey, Thomas, you copy?

Go for Thomas.

I really don't want to tear this up.

I'm thinking we might want to pull out,

Sample what we can.

We need to stop. We need to, reassess.

Copy that.

Bo, they're-they're wanting us

- to pull out.
- Okay, sounds good.

I think Erik was right to stop the drillers.

Well, there's the core. We didn't lose it.

The last thing we want to do is damage it

before we're able to study it.

That's awesome.

Hey, Erik, Travis, you copy?

Yeah, Kaleb. Go ahead.

We got that core out,

if you guys want to come over
and take a look.


Absolutely.

Yeah, we're on our way.

This core sample came
right from that 33-foot spot


we've been trying to get to

since our drill got stopped here last year.

So, we were all on pins and needles

to see what was in there.

Sounds like concrete.

That's sandstone.

It is about as dense as concrete.

Thomas, you want to give it
a test? That's a magnet.

Anything?

- Nothing.
- Okay.

I don't think that is responsible

- for what we saw before.
- No. It ain't adding up.

This is not our target.

Yeah, that's the point.

Yeah, I agree, I agree.

We saw a little metal come out

of the borehole, but the question

on all our minds was where was
the rest of this hard object


that destroyed our drill
last year at around 33 feet?

Or why not more of those
strange ceramics?

What's our depth now?

They're down to 38 feet.

So we passed it? What do we do now?

Well, we got to think
about that strategically.

That would definitely involve
a discussion with Brandon.

Yeah.

I can't wait to see what he says.

Hey, Brandon.

Hey, greetings, gentlemen.

I am eager to hear
what the current status is.


We ended up going down to 38 feet,

and we did hit something
really hard at 33 feet.

We found a few metal pieces
in the spoils,

but absolutely nothing that would explain

the hard object we hit last year.

Wow. That's crazy. It sounds like

we may have missed the mark.

So, spoils-wise,

the potentially
interesting material we had

were some very tiny magnetic pieces.

What would you advise at this juncture,

Given kind of the-the continued mystery?

If you recall, Brandon,
we drilled Borehole 1

and Borehole 2 to be on either
side of this big GPR anomaly.

So, we're thinking of going right between

the two boreholes on the mesa up there.

We might hit whatever this is
in the dead center.

Okay.

So far, we've been drilling

on the edge of this anomaly.

But we know from our past GPR
that this thing is positioned


right between
Borehole 1 and Borehole 2.


So, the plan now is to drill right down

the center between the
two boreholes, and hopefully,


we'll have our best chance yet
to reveal what this thing is.


Well, to the degree possible,
I'd like to proceed forward.


But make sure that
we do so with great care.


- Sounds good to me.
- Okay, yeah.

The drillers will need
some time to prepare,

so it'll be a couple of days
before we get back to drilling.

Very good. Thank you for your efforts.

- See you later, Brandon.
- See you.

All right, guys thanks.

We got a lot of planning to do.

Preston, welcome back to the ranch.

Always willing to come back.
We have fun out here.

Yeah. Well, we're gonna do some
things differently this time.

While the drillers get ready to break

ground on a new borehole,

we decided to switch our
attention back to the bubble.

We suspect the bubble
and the mesa are connected,


but we still don't know how or why.

We want to learn
more about the triangle,


which is the center
of the bubble and a region


where a lot of our instruments

tend to fail when they're
trying to record data.


Just like our GPR issues
inside the mesa.

So, we invited
Preston Ward and his team


from Sky Elements
back for a new experiment.


Okay, taking off.

A few weeks ago, we flew drone swarms

back and forth through
the bubble's western boundary.


That helped us figure out that
its width is about 120 feet.


So tonight, we're hoping they can help us

learn more about
the dead center of the bubble.

Come on.

Last year, we launched a rocket

straight up above the triangle
that released a huge cloud


of powder at about 1,000 feet high.

- There's the powder.
- Yep.

As it descended, the cloud froze

around 800 feet for a few seconds,

almost like there was
an invisible structure.


Y'all got some weird mojo out here.

So, one of the things we'll be
concentrating on tonight

will be to confirm
if there's something there,

and hopefully, map out the size of it.

Preston, talk to us about the different

configurations we plan to fly tonight.

So, we have 100 drones. Is that right?

So, it's gonna be 100 drones,

and it's gonna stay in a horizontal plane.

And it's gonna work its way,

zigzagging up all the way to 1,000 feet.

So, that way, we can get good data

all the way through
as it goes up and down.


Okay.

Guys, we've engaged with this space

in so many different ways.
This is exactly the experiment

that I was hoping we'd be able to do.

We're gonna unload and start

- getting set up.
- All right, let's do it.

- Thanks, guys.
- All right.

As is often the case,
for tonight's experiment,


I'll be monitoring the ranch

surveillance cameras
from the command center.


We'll also be using all
of our standard instrumentation,


lidar and spectrum analyzers.

And also using the Meta-Frame

video processing tool to observe

any curious deviations
in the behavior of these drones.

How's it going?

I want to do a test flight before

we do that first full drone swarm.

So, we're setting our four corners here.

Before Preston and
his team launch all 100 drones,


they want to do a smaller
test flight of the four drones


that will fly at the corners
of the full swarm.


This is expensive equipment,
so they want to make sure

these drones behave like normal
once they're in the air.

I mean, this is
Skinwalker Ranch after all,

and we've seen drones
fall out of the sky here.

I'll run to the triangle right now.

During this test, Kaleb and I

were gonna be watching
from the ground at the Triangle.


That way, we could be sure
whether the drones were flying

directly overhead or if
they were moving off course.

So you ready to do a test flight
all the way up to 1,000 feet?

No, we're just doing
a lower height at 60 feet

so we can verify the positioning
to make sure that we're

right over the center of
the triangle, and if we're not,

then we're gonna adjust again
before we run the big one.

- Perfect.
- Launch the four corners test.

Ten seconds to launch.

Five, four,

three, two,

one. Drones are rolling.

- They're staying in formation pretty good.
- Yeah.

They definitely seem...

- too far this way.
- Yeah, they're way west.

They missed the triangle by 40 feet west.

- Is that a GPS error? Is that a software error?
- It's GPS.

Yeah, it seems to be a GPS,
anomaly if you will, inaccuracy.

- That's, yeah, that's interesting.
- Quite strange.

They're gonna hit the mesa.

Yeah, they're gonna...
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

They're gonna hit the mesa.
They're gonna hit the mesa.

Bring 'em home.
They're going to hit the mesa.


These drones were on
a pre-programmed flight,


which was supposed to go
directly over the triangle.


So what the heck could be
causing the drones to veer

so far off course and almost
fly directly into the mesa?

We got two of 'em coming back.

Two. Three. One.

Look, those two are stuck.

There it goes, there it goes.
Then they got it.

During the test run,
the placement of the swarm


on the map in flight showed it to be

exactly where it should be:

right over the triangle.

But we all saw, with our own eyes,

it wasn't over the triangle.

It really doesn't make
a lot of sense because

once they enter their
pre-programmed flight path,

they should be rock solid.

I imagine you guys are gonna
make a few adjustments.

Yeah, so I'm gonna rotate
the whole show a bit

to the-the right here,

to kind of line it up better
with the triangle.

We missed kind of far that way.

So we're gonna rotate the whole thing.

Okay, sounds good.

Let's light this candle, y'all.

Okay. Sounds like everybody's ready.

It wound up taking a few hours

for Preston and his team
to make the adjustments.


Now it's time to launch and go.

During the swarm,
we're gonna be watching


from several different vantage points

to make sure the drones are
exactly where we think they are.


Thomas will be over
with the Sky Elements team


at their tent just south of the triangle,

while Kaleb watches directly
beneath where the swarm will be.


Meanwhile, Jim and I will be keeping

an eye out just south of the mesa.

Let's go ahead and do
the 15-second countdown.

All right, I'm gonna do 30-second offset

and I'll count them in at 15.

Five, four,

three, two,

one. Drones are rolling.

Drones are up.

One failed to lift.

Okay, let's go.

Launching.

Brian Woodward of Sky Elements

was following close behind the swarm

with his first-person view drone, or FPV.

That way, we could get a close-up view

of any unusual behavior
from these drones

during their programmed flight.

From our perspective to the west,

I can't see anything out of alignment yet.

It actually looks like one
of the drones did not take off.

Yeah, one of them did not take off.

We can see the hole.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I totally lost it.

sh**t, sh**t. I lost it. I lost it.

The FPV drone just hit the ground

- south of the science tent.
- My god.

sh**t.

FPV drone crashed.

My God.

Guys, did we have a drone

hit the ground just now?

Yes. The FPV drone

just hit the ground.

First, one of the 100 drones

failed to launch with the swarm.

But then, the FPV drone
fell right out of the sky


for no apparent reason.

Did it crash into something invisible

right above the triangle or did something

chase it down and knock it

out of the sky? And in either case,

what the heck could it be?

It made us nervous
about what might happen


to the rest of our drone swarm
as it flew up to 1,000 feet.


The drone swarm came
over the center of the triangle.

The drones look like
they're spinning in circles.

Yeah, look, there they go.

Yeah, they look wonky.

Thomas, what elevation
are the drones at?


They're 50 feet from
hitting that thousand-foot mark.


But the drones
are now spinning in place.


Something's definitely wrong.

The drones started moving in circles

as soon as they passed into
that 800 to 1,000-foot zone.


That's right where we saw
that cloud of powder

get stuck last year.

So, could the same thing
be affecting our drone swarm?

And if so, what was it?

They're coming down.

Drones are descending.

The formation is south
of the triangle now.

They're descending for landing.

We're at 600 feet right now.

600 feet and descending.

Yeah, they seem to have stabilized.

As soon as the swarm
descended to a lower altitude,


the drones started flying
like normal again.


It's like whatever was
affecting them was concentrated

right in that 800 to 1,000 foot zone.

Eight seconds.

Landing mode engaged.

Ninety-nine back down.

Drones are on the ground.

Hey, Thomas, let's go
over here and check these.

Yeah.

So, they should be
right back on the mats, right?

They should
directly centered on the mats.

Look at this.

That one's almost completely off.

It looks like they all
shifted the same way.

Well, and if you look at that one,

they were all pointed this direction,

so that one's almost pointed

- 90 degrees the wrong way.
- Yeah.

So, typically, when they twist like that,

it indicates, a magnetic anomaly.

After the drones were on the ground,

we went and inspected how they landed,

both terms of their position as
well as what their heading was.


That would tell us where
they thought they were facing,

and it looks like
there was both GPS differences...

so they were about a foot off
on certain areas...

and then there were also
heading differences...

so they turned to the position
they thought was north

but they were severely off.

- Boy, that's interesting.
- The only time

we really see a twist
in the drone heading like this

is, like, if we're on a parking garage,

or structure that has a lot of steel,

- something that has a lot of metal...
- Rebar.

That causes magnetic interference

to the magnetometers.

We don't expect to see
that same behavior here


in a grass field.

Grass fields usually have zero issues.

But this is Skinwalker Ranch,

and it seems that the unexpected
always happens.

Hey, guys, we're over here
looking at the drones

and how closely
they came down on these mats.

We've got
some pretty misaligned drones,

indicating a lot of magnetic interference.

Guys are saying the only time
they really see this


is, like, when they're on a parking garage

that's got a lot of steel in it.

Well, that solves it.

We now know there's a parking
garage there at the triangle.

Mystery solved.

I mean, sometimes you have to laugh

because things
just don't make any sense.


What in the world could act
like a giant magnetic field


between 800 and 1,000 feet in the air?

Is it something generated
inside the bubble?

And could it be related to all the UAPs,

weird signals
and equipment malfunctions

we keep encountering,

including what happened during
Jan's most recent GPR test?

We are ready over on our end.

We're gonna do an arm check.

Let me know when you guys are ready.

Preston and the team
reset their program


to launch another swarm

to help us get more data up there.

- You guys ready?
- We're ready.

Okay. It's on your go, Preston.

Setting start time, authorizing show.

Five, four,

three, two,

one.

Drones are rolling.

Hundred up.

Okay, taking off.

sh**t, sh**t, sh**t, sh**t, sh**t.

It's going down.

FPV down.

Dude.

Totally lost visual again.

That's crazy.

- FPV down again.
- What?

Wow.

As I circled around the swarm,
I started to lose video feed,


and it started to glitch.

And I was expecting it to come back,

but then it crashed.

I have no idea why my drone did that.

That's nuts, bro.

My drone has connection for miles.

The only way that I would
really lose connection like that


is if I went behind a mountain.

It's unexplainable.

Okay, let's get this baby up.

This was the second time

the FPV drone crashed tonight.

And just moments after it took off.

What was knocking it out
so close to the ground?

Taking off.

Hundred drones up, 100 drones up.

- Cameron, you have the conn.
- Yep, yep.

Looks like all
the drones took off this time.


We got a good formation
coming into the triangle.

They are directly over the triangle,

the western tower.

They are at 600 feet and climbing.

Starting to see wiggle on that third one

on the outside ring.

Cameron, what's the altitude?

They're sitting at 900 feet.

Nine hundred feet and climbing.

Looks like the swarm
is getting movement

all throughout the formation.

We're getting drones
doing circular patterns


all throughout.

Yeah. Look at that.

Wow.

We're getting drones doing

circular patterns all throughout.

Wow.

As our second drone swarm

got to the 800-foot level
above the triangle,


we were seeing even more evidence

of that magnetic interference
causing them to spin like crazy.

So, now, we had nearly


that something really strange
is in that airspace.


We're at 1,000 feet.

It's very strange to have both

magnetic interference
and GPS anomalies

in a grass field.

If we were in some city environment

that has a lot of things that
could be interfering with us,


you might see
some of these differences,


but typically, you're not
gonna get that in an open field.

Drones are starting their descent.

There's a little bit of swaying to them.

It does look like
there's a little bit of a wave

- going through it.
- Yeah.

At that point, Sky Elements

just wanted to get
their equipment to land safely.

Erik, we're on the ground here.
Everything's done.

You want to meet out here
and let's discuss what happened?

Okay. I'll head over.

It strikes me
that every time we engage in


some of these large-scale
drone swarm activities

with Sky Elements,

we are seeing disruptions

and we don't have an assignable cause.

The further we get
down here, the more off base

they seem to be.

I'm looking forward to bringing

all of the data together

so that we can better understand
what's happening

in that space above the triangle.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So, I'm hearing a lot about,
magnetic effects.

It seemed to be a lot more
magnetic interference

this time than normal.

Well, I will tell you something
that did happen repeatedly.

Every single time
the drones flew through

that 800 to 1,000 foot zone,

they started wiggling and
the formation was inaccurate.

And I mean,
that happened every single time.

Wow.

Yeah, so, obviously,
a lot of data to look at.

I think what we do
is we put our heads together,

and make some plans to follow up.

- All right, let's do it.
- All right. Sounds good.

See y'all later. Good stuff.

Hi, Preston. Hey, Matt.

Thanks for jumping on with us.

Thanks for having us, guys.

So, I know you've got
a lot of data that was collected

on each and every one
of the drones in the swarm.

So, what do you got to show us?

Yeah, absolutely.

So, I'll share my screen up here.

Yeah, so, we see all those positions

with numbers on them, and I think.

- Yeah.
- You call those slots?

That's right. So that's the slot position

that the drone will sit in.

First drone we're gonna look at
is drone number seven here.

Got it.

This graph with the blue line above

represents the altitude of the swarm

as it runs through its program.

And right here is our 1,000-foot peak.

The interesting things
we were seeing here.


Was in the magnetic spectrum.

Right. We can't wait

to see all the details on that.

This orange line in the top graph

represents the magnetometer
data coming from the drone.


And the quadrant below
represents the drone itself.


So, when we get to this point here,

you'll notice that there's
a huge magnetic field


that caused the drone to swirl around

because its heading wasn't accurate.

Where did you start running
into these magnetic issues?

At what altitude?

Prevalent around 750 feet
above ground level.

Yeah, got it.

So, that magnetic interference

is continuing for almost 250 feet?

- Correct.
- Wow.

So, this magnetic region

could be even bigger than we thought?

- Wow.
- That's crazy.

So, that magnetic
interference is continuing


for almost 250 feet?

- Correct.
- Wow.

According to the drones' data,

whatever is floating in the sky
directly above the triangle

seems to be even bigger,
vertically, than we thought.

But is it one large, invisible thing

smack dab in the middle of the bubble

or multiple things covering that zone?

And how does it connect to the mesa?

Can you show us how many
of the drones were affected?

Yes.

Now, when you take some


it kind of gives you a side profile here,

of where we're seeing
hot spots of this activity.


What would you expect
this exact graph to look like?

It'd be a straight line, it wouldn't have

- the squiggles, right?
- Correct.

Once you get into flight,

then you shouldn't have
magnetic issues.


- Yep.
- Yeah, that's helpful.

So, each one of these lines

- is a different drone?
- It's all of the drones

from the entire night overlaid.

Wow.

That's on multiple drones.

So, this is not just a one-off event.

That's fantastic.

We were afraid that the drone swarms

wouldn't get us any good data.

But man, they helped confirm

that there is a huge
invisible electromagnetic thing


between 750 and 1,000 feet

right in the middle of the bubble.

This is really interesting.

So, once again,

we've done a very precise
magnetometry mapping

right in the center of the bubble,

and we absolutely see

there is something there
in the magnetic field.

- There's a structure to it.
- There is a structure to it.

That shows that there is a big

magnetic anomaly floating up there.

Right over the triangle.

- Are you seeing this?
- Yes.

We've detected
so many strange radio signals


inside of the bubble
and seen so many UAPS


flying through this airspace
over the triangle.


What if we've now identified something

that might be related to them?

Or even where they might
be coming from?

We need to study that region even more.

We only flew to 1,000 feet.

So who knows how far this thing goes.

Well, I don't know what the rule

or legal altitude limit is, but, the bubble

is roughly 2,000 feet high

at the center of the triangle.

So, boy, it'd be awesome
if we could get drones

up to where you're touching
the top of the bubble

at 2,000 feet,

to see if these
electromagnetic anomalies

could be detected up there, too.

Yeah. I've done a lot of,
precedent-setting things

with the FAA, so I'll-I'll talk
to my people there

and see how high they'll let us go.

That'd be fantastic.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, guys, appreciate your collaboration

on this, as-as always, and I look forward

to the next time we, get a chance

to, put our heads together
and get some drones in the air.

Absolutely. We can't wait to be back

and see what else we can find.

- Thank you so much.
- All right.

- See you guys.
- See you guys.

A question that has been raised

every time we do these drone exercises

is why are certain regions
of the sky affected


while we experience more interference

while others are not.

It remains a mystery,

but every time we do these exercises,

it affords us a chance to get

a picture... a map, if you will...
of what's happening,

not just in the triangle
but of the whole bubble.


We just collected hard data

that shows there is something strange

going on high above the triangle.

Possibly even higher than we've
been able to confirm so far.


Now we have to figure out what it is,

because it might help us
crack the mystery of the bubble.

One hallmark of our investigation

is our ability to push boundaries,

to bring people
and capabilities to the table


that have never been tried before.

Seeing equipment malfunction
upon encountering


this region of the triangle

is confirmation that a strange anomaly

not only exists but is a key feature

on the property that is involved
with the strange anomalies

that we are trying to get the answers to.

Commencing first run.

We'll map across
the bubble and see if drilling


may actually cause
phenomena to appear.


Fire the Tesla g*ns.

Erik, look at this.

Thirty-three megahertz.
This is coming from the sky.

There it goes! Whoa, that one
just changed direction.

- Let's see what's going on here.
- Immediately, it turns.

- Something pushed the tail of the rocket.
- No way.

- What is that?
- I don't know what to make of it.
