02x03 - Laser Focused

Post by bunniefuu »

Dragon, what's going on?

We had some crazy stuff go down.

Just after dark, there

was something that

was shimmering yellowish-orange.

Then it instantly vanished.

Within seconds, something

flies across the sky.

We invited a veterinarian

to look at the cow

that died last year.

As you can see, the

predators haven't done their job.

No, they haven't touched it.

There's something

about that carcass

that I don't like.

This petroglyph represents

two different worlds,

so it's a guardian

to the portals.

The portal is a window

into the supernatural.

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.

So, colonel

Alexander has told us

that he's receptive to

having a conversation today.

I've actually got

him standing by.

So, why don't we

give him a call?

All right, yeah.

After the recent bizarre events

that have happened

on skinwalker ranch,

we really wanted to speak

with a credible investigator

with past experience here.

Luckily, Erik bard

was able to convince

john Alexander to have a

video conference with us.

John is a retired

u.S. Army colonel,

and he was also a member of

Robert bigelow's team known as

the national institute

for discovery science.

They investigated the

ranch for over two decades.

And this is the first time

someone from that group

has been willing

to engage with us.

Colonel Alexander,

do you hear us?

- Yeah.

- Good morning, john.

This is Erik speaking.

I want to thank you

for taking our call today.

So, john, I understand

you came on very early,

as soon as Robert Bigelow

bought the property.

Um, actually, I was with him

the day he bought the ranch.

We had a number of very,

phenomenal events occur.

After acquiring the

ranch in the 1990s,

Robert Bigelow immediately

locked the property down,

established 24-hour

security and launched

what was an unprecedented

scientific investigation

of the property.

They ended up encountering

all sorts of strangeness.

Everything from cattle

mutilations, to ufo phenomena,

to what can only be described

as poltergeist-like activity.

But most of what

mr. Bigelow and his team

reported on the ranch remains

either classified or

confidential and is locked away.

So, john, we've

been talking about

the events that have

happened here on the ranch,

and more specifically,

out at the homestead area.

And I understand that this is,

something that you're

very knowledgeable about,

and we're hoping that we

could get your perspective

on the things that happened

out in the homestead area.

Like you, we had

this instrumented.

We had cameras that

were working, 24/7.

We did a lot of monitoring.

You know, radiation

and things, of that level,

and the old homestead area is

one that seemed to specifically

attract a lot of attention.

One of the things that really

stand out in my mind is that,

the observers are on

the ridge line to the north,

and looking down

upon homestead two,

and they see a spot

of light that expands

and something came

out, about six foot tall.

Now, you know how dusty

the roads are there, right?

Well, something big

came out, ran off, and yet,

you don't find any

physical evidence of it.

Well, we've had two events

within the last three weeks

where something appeared to

be stalking us or watching us,

and when we tried to find it,

it vanished and there was not

a single track anywhere,

and-and the roads are just

as dusty now as they were

then, so it should've left tracks.

Right.

One of the things that

you did mention, though,

about being stalked one

of our guys, he talks about

having another experience

out at the old homestead area.

I put in, again, the very high

strangeness, high credibility.

This was in the night.

And there seemed to be

something moving across the trees.

Where, you know, you get

a distortion, but it's not clear,

that Just that

something might be there.

That's interesting. We saw

something that we described

after the fact as

looking like a predator.

It was there one second,

and then it was just gone.

Yes, we had those

kinds of experiences.

Some of our people

They're out, late at night.

This is in the winter,

and they look up,

and there's something

up in the trees.

And it looks like it's

above one of the cattle.

One of our guys had a

r*fle with him and shot.

Whatever it was

fell out of the tree

and disappeared totally.

They went out the next day,

and I said it was winter,

and there was some

snow on the ground,

and the one thing we found

was this track that looked like

a gigantic raptor.

I mean, three-prong,

we're talking out of Jurassic

park kind of raptor print.

And could not find

any other tracks, whatsoever.

I've never heard that story.

So, this is

a pretty amazing story.

I don't know what to think of it

because I've never

seen anything like that,

but given his

history and his past,

I don't know why I

shouldn't believe it.

Of all these strange phenomena

that-that happened

when you were here,

and even speculate some,

what do you think it is?

I'm not even sure how to begin

addressing the

complexity of that.

Now, it's my view

that these things

are all connected in some way.

I would say the

area is a portal.

It's like

multidimensional reality.

And I think, periodically,

the dimensions overlap,

and when they do,

those sorts of things

that you see are

just as physical

as you sitting there right now.

But when it

separates, it's gone.

I find it both interesting

and a bit jarring to hear

colonel Alexander state,

in such matter-of-fact terms,

that the ranch is, in fact,

a place where portals

to unknown dimensions

actually open and close.

If we're actually

dealing with a portal,

one explanation could

be that it's a wormhole,

which is theorized

to be a literal gateway

between two different

dimensions in both time and space.

Now, it might

sound like something

out of science fiction,

but not only did Albert Einstein

believe they

could actually exist,

I've had my own experiences here

that made me wonder

if it's possible, too.

It just keeps on going all the

way across the spectrum. Wow.

Last year, I was awakened

in the middle of the night

on the ranch when

my spectrum analyzer

suddenly started detecting

incredibly high energy spikes.

I'm seeing all these signals

from the microwave band,

all the way down past the

ham bands at 35 megahertz.

Now, to do that, it would be

I don't even know

how we would do that.

That It's almost impossible.

The question is, is this

crazy signal we're seeing

creating some type of event

that is something like

Einstein was theorizing?

What if the only way to

explain all these things

is with a wormhole?

So, we're looking at what

experiments we can do

that, hopefully,

we can either detect

one of these portals.

Stimulate a portal,

or something to

see what it could be.

Despite the complexity, I think

that's a good thing to do,

and I think you're

adding to the data.

And that's critically important.

John, we all offer our

thanks for your time

- and for the things you've shared with us.

- Yeah.

Really insightful.

I look forward

to the next chance we have

to meet and talk

about what we've found.

- All right. Thank you, now.

- We'll talk soon.

Bye.

Well, I think that

was a great call.

I agree. No, he

was very insightful.

What can we do to follow up on

what we learned

in the discussion?

- What would you do?

- I have some ideas.

Let's first assume that somehow

there's a portal that appears.

If it is a doorway, it's

got to be something

like a traversable wormhole, so

there's gravitational anomalies.

So, if you had laser beams

scanning the area

when this occurred,

the beams would Would bend,

move or Or maybe

they're color-shifted.

So you could see visible light

turned into something else.

Maybe.

It's a good place

to start, for sure.

- Let's do it.

- I agree.

Travis and Erik are here.

Well, we didn't lose anything.

I think we got everything

else we need, at least for now.

While we're arranging to

get experts and equipment out

to the ranch to help us

conduct our laser experiment,

Thomas winterton had

the idea of constructing

an observation tower

at the southernmost point

of the property to act

as a base of operation.

If we can just get

two more sheets

of plywood up there, grab

these two posts, and then we can

haul the rest of it

up with the Polaris.

- What-what do you guys think?

- Sounds good to me.

- Let's just get it done.

- Somebody getting cranky.

Go.

The south side really has

the best view of the

ranch, including the mesa.

You're able to see clear

back to the uintah mountains.

And it really gives

you a 360-degree view

all the way around

that's just remarkable.

Let's line it up

on one side first.

Yup. Yup. Get your end flush.

With all the sightings

that we've had in the sky,

and with everything that's

going on here at the ranch,

it's going to be great to have

another observation

point further away

that can give us a

different perspective

and give us another

set of eyes on

what's going on

here at the ranch.

It looks pretty close.

We need a camera on each

corner, looking in every direction.

Well, I mean, you

guys can see the view.

This is the place

for observation here.

This tower is not

only going to be great

for our laser experiment,

but since we're about to bring

a new herd of cattle onto

the ranch for the summer,

it'll also help us keep

a better eye on them

and make sure they're safe.

Well, let's keep

slinging hammers.

- Okay.

- Okay. Sounds good.

We're almost there.

Hey, guys.

- Hey, tom.

- Hey, winterton.

You got the trackers?

- Yes, we do.

- Got the trackers.

Good deal. Well,

we've got the cows

coming in here, as you know.

While the rest of

the team were doing

final preparations for

the laser experiment

at the observation tower,

Thomas winterton

arranged to have a new herd

of cattle brought onto

the ranch for the summer.

How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

- Good.

- Good.

- Appreciate you bringing them out.

Well, thanks for

letting us come.

We're bringing cows

onto this ranch to maintain

and take care of the land

and keep it grazed

so that it stays healthy,

keeps it from

becoming a fire hazard.

Also, the second thing is,

is each cow we put on the

place becomes a bio sensor.

Animals seem to

have that sixth sense.

We want to make sure that

all the animals here are

taken care of and protected.

Because of the

strangeness of this place

and based on what

happened last year.

What in the world?

There's no cat tracks.

There's no sign of

struggle. It's just dead.

I saw her this morning,

but she was alive.

I don't know. That's weird.

Appreciate you

bringing them out.

And I was gonna introduce

you to tom and kandus.

They're the caretakers

that live here.

They're gonna monitor the cows,

make sure that

they're all healthy.

- How are you?

- Not bad, thanks.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you. Glendon lamb.

- Nice to meet you, glendon.

- They'll report to us

if, you know, if anything

strange has happened.

Sounds good. I think you'll

do well. Yeah, thanks so much.

- Nice to meet you guys.

- Thank you.

- Good to meet you.

- Yeah, it was a pleasure. Yeah.

See you guys.

- So, tagging time?

- Yeah.

So, guys, we're

gonna run them through

this green squeeze

chute right here.

I'll tag them right here.

- Excellent.

- And so, if the three of you can just

- keep the chute loaded

- - Okay.

And keep pushing them

up, it-it should go really quick.

- Okay. Let's do it.

- Sounds good.

Come on. Come,

cows. Turn around.

Kandus and I

have been working

with Erik bard,

and we've come up with

this cattle tracking system

that we're gonna use

so we know exactly

where the cows are.

And hopefully, that might

shed some light on anything

that happens this year.

Last summer

Three, two, one, ignition.

As we were

launching small rockets

high above the ranch that were

equipped with energy sensors,

suddenly, all of the cattle

started acting really strange.

Look at the cows.

Never seen that before.

Look, look, look. What is that?

Then, out of nowhere, we all

witnessed something

that we still can't explain.

It's a plane, I think.

- It's gone.

- Nah, that wasn't a plane.

We'd still see it

if it was a plane.

Hopefully, by tracking

the cows' movements,

we can correlate that

and-and compare it

to when we're having events

take place on the ranch.

You know, when something happens

at homestead two,

were the cows close by?

How soon before an event

did the cows leave the area?

You know, what kind of warning

is their bio sensors giving them?

Well, that's the whole herd.

Nice work, winterton.

- You, too.

- Well done.

Here they are.

- Hey, guys.

- Hey. How you doing?

- Welcome to the ranch. Thomas.

- Chris. Nice to meet you.

Erik bard and I

contacted Chris novielli

and tim Anderson

of nu-salt laser

to help us investigate

if all the strange

phenomena that's occurred

over the years on

skinwalker ranch

really could be due to a

possible inter dimensional portal

like colonel john Alexander from

the former nids team believes.

Have you ever tried

to open up a portal?

This is kind of a

first, one for us here.

I'm really interested.

If you shine the laser

through it or

close enough to it,

we might see a change

in the direction of the beam.

Well, daylight's burning.

I know we kind of wanted

to get set up before

it's completely dark.

Yeah.

I'll go grab our

jeep, bring it over,

- and we'll transfer the gear.

- Sounds good.

These guys have

really brought out

a massive array of lasers.

We want to put them out

by this observation tower,

and as soon as

the sun goes down,

we can start this and see

if we can stir some activity.

I got this one.

What we're going to

do tonight is deploy

a high-powered laser

beam aimed over the mesa

and the surrounding areas

to see if the light bends,

changes colors or

disappears in any way.

Any of those things

happen, it could be evidence

of a break in the

environmental plane

or, like Einstein theorized,

could be possible evidence

of an actual portal

to another dimension.

We ready, guys?

Y'all-y'all got everything set?

We're gonna turn

those lasers on, guys.

Start scanning the mesa.

Our new observation

tower is the ideal spot

for our first experiment

focusing on the mesa.

If you put the laser

spot right there,

then I'll look

right at the spot.

- There it is.

- Is that There's two.

Last summer, while investigating

a documented phenomenon

where the top of the mesa

actually glows at night,

we focused a single

laser beam at it.

Look.

- And strangely, the point.

- Where the beam landed

was split into two by something.

- How is it doing that?

- That is so weird.

For this experiment,

we're gonna use better

cameras, more instruments

and sophisticated

scanning laser systems

to see if the beams

actually split again

or bend or disappear.

I don't think the properties

of the mesa's natural features

could actually cause or

explain something like that.

It would have to be

something completely different.

So, what's gonna happen

is their big space laser

cannon is gonna come up

with a ginormous bunch of beams

going straight up.

It's gonna be huge.

And then we'll start

scanning the mesa.

We got about almost

600 watts of-of laser power

that we're about to start

pumping into the sky here.

Well, let's see it. Let's go.

All right. In five, four,

three, two, one.

Boom!

- My gosh.

- Wow, look that.

Look at that

bird fly through it!

Right up main street.

It would be really

amazing to prove

the existence of a portal

or possibly one of

einstein's wormholes

with this laser

experiment tonight.

But if that does happen,

I'm a little nervous

about what else we

might prove along with it

about what's happening

here on skinwalker ranch.

Hey, you see that?

I got to tell you, this is

Amazing, the view you

can see from up here.

If there's something happens

over the mesa, we'd see it.

That is unreal.

You know, if light's

gonna trigger something,

you'd think it'd be that.

Quite a show.

Wow!

Look, you can see the

mesa glow in that camera.

Now, that looks spooky.

You know, Erik, what

you're recording there

is telling us a lot about

the different color

reflectivity of the mesa.

It's strange how erik's camera

is showing that

bizarre glowing effect

on top of the ridge like

we've seen in the past.

I'm just not sure yet

what could be causing it.

We can go back and look

at this video and analyze

so we can see even

where they're going.

And it may give us

some insight on

On why the mesa glows sometimes.

- Yeah, you know, I

- What I'd like

to look for when we go back

and play through

this frame by frame

is whether we can detect

any of that double reflection

- of that splitting that we saw last year.

- Yep. Right.

Hey, guys, is it

possible for you to k*ll

all but one beam so we

can just focus on one?

- There you go.

- Hey, guys?

Um, so, what I want you to do is

slowly bring it down

to almost treetop height

and then go up to the top

of the height that you're

cleared for right there.

All right, that's perfect. That's

as low as you need to go.

- Now, slowly bring it up.

- That's exciting.

No off-axis scattering here.

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything

like we saw that one time.

Let's bring the laser back

down onto the mesa and move it

to the, east until I say stop.

- So, that's your right.

- Keep going.

Keep going. Right there.

Now slowly bring it up.

Further up.

- Right there. Right there.

- Stop.

You know, I think I'm

seeing, some scatter around it,

hitting other rocks and stuff.

Perfect.

I think we do have

all the footage.

- I think we have the data we need.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Good.

- We've illuminated

the entire ranch

with optical beams.

And we do realize the

mesa is highly reflective

in the visible light range,

but we haven't seen what

I would consider evidence

of anything strange beyond that.

It's not always an

automatic reaction

when we do stuff.

You know, so, just

because we don't see

something happening

right this second,

that doesn't mean that

what we're doing tonight

couldn't trigger

something going forward.

- Yeah, I agree with that.

- Certainly Certainly likely.

It was getting really late,

and since nothing for certain

happened out at

the mesa, we decided

to end this phase

of the experiment

and have the guys plan to

come back tomorrow night

to run some laser

scans at homestead two.

And I was really anxious to

see what would happen there,

given all we've heard

and experienced ourselves.

So, I think we can

pack everything up

and And head back

to the command center.

I-I think it was a very

successful experiment.

I really appreciate

your help, guys.

- Yeah, thank you.

- Thanks for having us.

Ryan skinner's coming out today.

He's a ranch researcher,

and he's bringing with him

an ex-deputy sheriff from

the area named Kris porritt.

- Hey, Ryan. Hello.

- Hey, guys.

- Kris? Kandus linde. Nice to meet you.

- Glad to meet you.

- Tom Lewis. - Glad to meet you.

- Come on over.

Kris has some stories

he wants to share,

and he evidently was the officer

who reported one of

the cattle mutilations.

So that's pretty compelling,

considering he's around

to talk about it and wants to.

How did you become

familiar with the ranch?

I actually met mr. Meyers when

I was working for the county,

and he had a fascination

for horses, the same as me.

And, so, I'd come

down and ride with him,

and from that time on, we

became really good friends.

The Meyers family

acquired the property

in the early 1900s.

They, along with the old

original homesteaders,

really started settling

the-the general area

that has now become

skinwalker ranch.

Kenneth and Edith

Myers ended up living

their entire lives

on the property,

and experienced unusual

events on the property.

We've heard stories about

there being a lot of

locks, some weird chains.

- Did you see any of that?

- He had everything chained down.

The fridge was locked.

The cupboards were locked.

- Yeah?

- Even his car.

Why do you think that was?

When I asked ken

about all the locks,

he says "Kris," he says,

"I wouldn't appreciate

you repeating what

I'm about to tell you."

And I said, "well, your-your

secret's my secret."

And he says, "I get visitors."

He says, "alien activity."

- Wow.

- And he says,

"things come up missing.

Things come up dead."

Kenneth had actually

seen the aliens,

or knew what they looked like?

He could feel they was present.

And he says, "I don't

know exactly why

they picked my

ranch, to pick on me."

Did he talk about

any visitations

that happened in the house?

Yeah. Like the screens on

a window being taken out.

- Really? Okay.

- Really?

And, he'd tell me that,

at nighttime, he heard

something strange

- while he was sleeping.

- Right.

Kandus and I have experienced,

you know, crazy

things that happen

on this property and

especially in this ranch house.

Oftentimes, we do feel

like we're being watched.

Keep going. You're

right on top of it.

Last year, after tom Lewis

and kandus linde began

hearing strange sounds and voices

coming from below their

house, we investigated a strange

concrete room in the basement

that was totally closed up.

We drilled a hole

through the wall,

and we ran a camera inside.

What we found

was really disturbing.

Just stop right there.

See that?

It looks a lot like bones.

What in the world?

What happened right here

was one of the biggest tricks

you ever seen in your life.

- What it do?

- Yeah? What happened?

Ken couldn't find three h*ifers,

and I got here just at sunrise

with my horse, we rode all

day long, and I says, "ken,

I don't know what to tell

you about your h*ifers."

We can't find fresh

tracks, you know?

And he had a shed right here.

And ken couldn't

get the door to open.

So, we start pushing on it,

pushing on it, pushing on it.

I pushed it open as far

as I could to the inside,

and I looked in

there, and I said,

"ken, you ain't

gonna believe this.

Your h*ifers are in the shed."

And he goes, "no way. How

you gonna fit three cows in there?"

The h*ifers, stuffed in

there is what you're saying?

Locked in there?

They was stacked one on

top of each other like this.

- My god.

- What?

- And he said, "they're dead."

- They're dead?

And I said, "the snot's still

running out of their nose.

They're still alive."

And I said, "go get a glass

of water and dump that

right over the top

of that heifer's head."

He did, and that

damn thing come to life.

Like it had been

- Drugged.

- Drugged.

And you actually saw this

- with your own eyes?

- I've seen it. Yeah.

That is an incredible story.

Kris, we'd like to hear

more about the cattle

and introduce you to

some more of the team.

Yeah, that'd be fine.

Let's go.

Right over there by that tree.

Yup.

In addition to the bizarre

events that Kris claims

he witnessed at homestead one,

he also reported an

actual cattle mutilation

near the command center.

And it was right near

where the cow died last year.

So what time of year was it

when this event took place?

I'm gonna say midsummer.

I've seen images,

I've read reports

of cattle mutilations.

It'll be nice to hear

from someone who has

actually seen those animals

and exactly what

happened to them

and get some kind of insight

as to what pattern

might exist there.

- So, this is the spot?

- Yeah.

This used to be an

irrigation ditch right here.

And right in here is where

there was two black Angus cows.

What did they look

like on the ground here?

The head was facing

toward the ditch,

and the legs were out this way.

All the female organs were

removed out of both cows.

And the back end, the tail,

and the uterus and everything

of the cows were right in here.

The skull, the neck bone,

everything was removed.

I can't explain it.

Absolutely no blood, no

burn marks, no operation.

Did you have the impression

that those cows were in the location

where they were

butchered like that or?

Yeah.

Yeah. And there

was matted grass,

where something heavy

had sat in these weeds

and made an

impression in the dirt.

- In this same area?

- Well,

right over here, actually.

And that sat kind of

kitty corner this way.

When I wrote the report,

I put 23 feet, tip to tip.

That could be

give or take a little.

I presume it was a spaceship.

I've said it, didn't I?

Was it square

shaped, or was it?

- Cigar shaped, yeah.

- Kind of like the tic tac.

Last year, the

pentagon declassified

a video taken by two

navy pilots in 2004.

This video's become

known as "the tic tac" video.

It shows some

kind of flying craft

maneuvering with

a propulsion system

much more advanced than any

human technology we know of.

At about the same

time, it came to light

that the federal government

had been funding

the advanced airspace threat

identification program or aatip.

It's literally a program

designed to study

unknown aerial

phenomena, like ufos.

So, it's pretty fascinating

to me that a former sheriff

in the area is reporting what

he believed to be evidence

of a ufo craft on skinwalker

ranch that is eerily similar

to what our own government

has documented elsewhere.

- That's a strong statement.

- Yeah.

You guys put two

and two together.

- I'm just telling you what I know

- Sure.

And what happened to me.

And I'm not the only person

that's experienced this

kind of stuff around here.

So there had to

have been something.

Something that we have no idea.

So, hey, where-where

did it come from?

- I would be asking the same question.

- You got it.

- Kris, this is amazing.

- Thank you so much.

We're here.

Once the sun had gone down,

it was time for tim and Chris

from nu-salt laser to come back.

We're gonna run more

experiments down at homestead two.

Guys, I think this

spot over here

is, kind of the best

place to set up.

Since numerous

credible witnesses

like colonel john Alexander

have claimed that they saw

actual portals and other

mysterious phenomena here,

we're eager to see what

happens when we poke

this nest with

high-powered lasers.

What I want to do

is-is kind of raster scan

back and forth right

here, up and down

to the treetops and

then back down.

And then at some

point, I want to get hit

right in there where those

The doors and windows are

and just kind of bounce

back and forth with it that way.

- That make sense?

- It does. - Perfect.

All right, guys, if y'all

need anything, I'm gonna

help them set up the

other stuff. All right.

Sounds good.

I think the laser guys

are getting that going.

How's this going, Erik?

- Are you ready to roll on that whenever?

- I am.

Some of the scientists who

have worked here before

had descriptions of ba*ls of

light in other words, orbs

As well as something that

is referred to as a "portal,"

of what would appear to

be a window opening up

and perhaps allowing

something to move in

and out of our space

through some other dimension.

All right, what about

the night vision?

- That's rolling now.

- Okay.

While Chris and tim

were deploying the lasers,

Erik was documenting everything

with a night vision camera

as well as a thermal camera.

He's looking for any

anomalies for us to focus on.

We're ready if you guys want

to come over and check it out.

- Yeah! Cool.

- Absolutely.

So, Chris is gonna set the zone.

So, I'm gonna

turn it on right now.

- Test pattern right there.

- Yes.

Seeing any reflection?

That's low power.

And I'll slowly bring it up.

I'm looking for it.

- Stuff everywhere.

- 60.

I'm not seeing anything

coming back on anything.

With these laser patterns, we're

looking for bends in the light.

Anything that might indicate

something strange is happening.

On skinwalker ranch,

you always have in

the back of your mind,

"what if a portal opened up

and a monster crawled out?

What if voices start

booming down from the sky?"

- let's do the one beam.

- One beam?

Yeah, the one beam

right through that doorway,

just to scan through

the door some.

- Okay.

- Stop in the middle

of the doorway. Go up and down.

Wait. Right there.

Yeah, yeah. There

you go. There you go.

You got it. Now go up. Yeah.

You know, is anybody watching

the-the thermographic

thing back there?

- Yeah, I gotcha.

- You seeing anything?

It's looking pretty

normal right now.

- Right there, there's not?

- Nope.

That's right where the phenomena

has occurred before, so

Light must not be the trigger.

Or it's not the trigger tonight.

- Or it's not trigger tonight.

- Yeah.

I think, at the end of

the day, the trigger is

when it decides to open up,

it's gonna open up.

I think you might be right.

So, I think,

the-the thing to

do now, we're here,

let's, Let's just go

ahead and bring it down

and let's, take

the laser in there

and shine across the field

and see if we can hit

homestead three with it.

Okay.

I thought that we

should deploy the laser

from inside the old

house at homestead two,

pointing west towards

homestead three,

just to see if that might

trigger something to happen.

If the ranch really does

respond to different stimuli

like people believe it

does, then it's worth a shot.

So, if you'll take this

down, I'll get your cord

- across the canal and over there.

- Okay.

Get rid of these.

All right, guys, as we walk

down into the homestead area,

seriously, if you

smell anything funky,

feel anything funky,

'cause this is where

funky things happen.

Very good.

- Right here.

- That's a nice clean shot.

If we get about right here

I think

you'll hit the

homestead right there.

Do not turn it on

yet 'cause don't know

where everybody is yet.

So, I would love to be

up high watching this.

You guys okay if I

As long as you don't get

downrange of the laser,

you should be fine.

If we stay up on the

north side of the canal

You should if you're

on that side of the road,

you're absolutely fine.

Whoa! Hey! Something get you?

Lightning strike?

Yeah, this is the third time

this has happened today.

- Yeah.

- Since we've been out here.

I don't know what's

setting this off.

Well, there's no

lightning, that's for sure.

I've been keeping the

lightning detector with me.

I've been using it as a kind

of canary to let me know

whether there are any

electrostatic discharges

taking place in the

immediate vicinity

of our team.

But it was brand-new

batteries, and I reset the thing

back at the command

center; It was fine.

Wow, that's odd.

Interesting.

I suppose one remote possibility

is that maybe some

of the equipment here

could be doing it, but I

Nah, those are diode lasers.

There's no high

High-voltage discharge there.

Hey, Kaleb, do you

copy over there?

10-4. Go ahead.

Are you seeing anything strange

or different on

the thermo image?

From what I'm seeing

right now, it looks like

you got a heat,

circle right above you.

I don't know how

to explain that.

Yeah. So, if you're gonna go

- across the road, I guess

- Right now.

Let's go ahead and do it now.

Yeah, take this

radio with you, too.

Call us when you're in place,

- and then we'll turn the laser on.

- Okay.

Some kind of energy spike

was suddenly being detected

by erik's meter, so

who knows what it was?

But it made me think we

might be onto something.

So, while we stayed

near the homestead,

Erik and Thomas decided

to hike up the mesa

to keep watch

above the tree line,

in case something odd

was really happening.

So, tell 'em I'm waving

my flashlight at 'em,

so they know where we're at.

If you look up on the ridge,

just to the west,

northwest of your position,

you should see thomas's,

light on his phone so that

you know where we are.

Yeah, we're down here in

the canopy by the homestead.

We're I don't think we're

gonna be able to see y'all.

Just stay-stay away

from the beam, right?

We can see them.

We are well off-axis.

All right, so

I say we put some

patterns on it.

Hey, Erik, how does that look?

What are we hitting

with that beam?

You're hitting one of the

Russian olive,

trees out in the field,

far south of the

actual homestead.

So, run that tube pattern.

The-the vortex pattern thing.

So, what I'd do is get it about

right in there somewhere.

Now bring it

Hey, Travis, did you feel

that temperature drop?

I did and I sm

you smell something Funny?

It's hard to

tell if it's just

No, but-but, literally, I felt

I felt it felt like a

just instantly, right?

Yeah.

- It does feel cold.

- Yeah.

- Do you all feel that?

- I feel that.

It wasn't just cooler outside.

It was colder by about

ten degrees in that one isolated

spot there at homestead two.

It still I still

it's still going on.

- I still it's still

- Yeah, I can still feel it.

And coupled with the odd smell,

it wasn't something

I could explain.

Something strange

was definitely happening.

Whoa, there's a light down

- in those trees.

- Where?

There was a light

down in that

- In the Russian olives down there.

- Okay.

Guys, please be advised,

Thomas has spotted a light

down in the Russian olives

off to the west

at the fence line.

Down the Russian olives

to the west at the

fence line. Back here.

Yes. As if someone

turned a flashlight on

- and off.

- -But where? Ask him where.

In the Russian olive

trees over there

- on the west side.

- All right,

I know where he's talking about.

I had a good look at it.

I was kind of looking in that

direction when it happened.

It should be right here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Right here!

It should be right-right

there, where he's talking.

It's over there

on the west side.

Right to the south of the tower.

Right there.

Down in the bottom,

as if someone

was standing below those trees.

Wait, wait. I thought I

saw something move.

I got eyes of something

over here, guys!

There it is, right there.

Where'd it go?

Ask if they still see it.

Where-where are

you seeing the light?

I don't see it now.

So we let's go south,

- see if we can get a vantage.

- Yeah, I don't know.

At this point

They'd be gone.

Yeah, at this

point, I don't think

Anything, Thomas?

Yeah, I think it's gone.

Okay, well, we don't

see anything now,

so I think we'll head

back to the laser, guys.

Yeah, I don't see

it either. So I think

I'm gonna head down towards

you guys at the homestead.

I think that's a good idea.

I think we've done

what we can here,

and it's probably

getting late enough.

What was that

light that was there?

And why was it happening

while we're in there

doing an experiment

with these lasers?

- Hey, guys.

- Well, you got my adrenaline pumping.

Well, for sure, there

was a light I saw.

I mean, it looked just like a

Kind of a yellowish,

amber-ish

Like if someone took a

flashlight and turned it on

Yeah.

And off real quick. I mean

W-well, I-I think there

was some-something,

somebody or something out there.

I wasn't sure if it

was eyes or if it was,

like, a-a flashlight

reflector or something.

So, from my perspective, I mean,

obviously, with the-the

distance, it's hard to say.

But from where we were

standing up by that telephone pole

down to the trees, I

mean, it probably looked

like it was about

that big around.

Travis saw something.

I saw something.

It is concerning that

somebody was down there,

or at least I hope

it was a somebody.

With all of the instruments

that we had recording tonight,

there is a mountain

of data to go through.

Should we help these

guys get packed up and

Yeah.

Let's get packed up. Let's

get everything back in the jeep

and let's head back

to the command center.

- Yeah, thank you. - All right.

- Thanks for having us.

Given the fact that

we've heard stories

of portals opening

and strange beings opening

up near homestead two,

Could this have been

a portal opening up and

something from somewhere else

coming to see us while

we're doing this experiment?

The previous scientific team

that investigated the property

ended up encountering

all sorts of strangeness.

Everything from cattle

mutilations to ufos

to portals that would open

up above the old homesteads.

A lot of the things that we're

observing at skinwalker ranch

defy our current

understanding of physics.

We don't know yet if we'll find

mundane scientific explanations

for all the strange events

that keep happening

or if the truth really is

much more disturbing.

All I know for sure is that

we need to keep exploring

and experimenting

until we find the answer.

We're gonna get a 3-d

model of homestead two.

- Got some stuff to show you.

- Something odd happened here.

When you walked

inside the building,

it didn't take any data.

I do sense a presence here.

The temperature around

the homestead began to drop.

Hey, are you guys

seeing anything?

We're looking at an eye.

This ground here is the gateway

- for skinwalkers.

- What I saw doesn't belong here.

- I'm a little nervous. Hold on.

- Hey.
