03x04 - Scoped Out

[bunniefuu]

This is something sacred here.

This area is used
to keep the evil on that side.

Hey, Travis, I'm seeing the
shadow of some other aircraft.

There's nothing within

50 miles of the ranch.

- What happened? What the heck is that?
- Some thing

doesn't want us to collect
data from the triangle.

The Cessna flew
62 and a half miles

- below the mesa.
- What on earth?

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.

Oh, here they are.

Pull it right in here
somewhere, Dragon.

After last week's Cessna
experiment at the triangle,

our attempt to collect
usable data of the anomaly

once again left us

with more questions
than answers.

Guys, I appreciate
y'all coming out.

So, to help us get a better
look at the triangle anomaly,

we invited Richard Tenney,
Chuck Hards and David Moulton

from the Salt Lake Astronomical
Society out to the ranch.

They're going to help us

with tonight's
experiment at the triangle.

So, I have to ask you what
you know about the ranch.

What have you heard
about this place?

Uh, I'm a little familiar
with the history of it,

uh, just because, you know,
being a Utah native and...

and hearing the
stories over the years.

I have some family in the area,

some friends,

and they-they tell
me stories of things

they've seen on the road and-and

- weird stuff.
- Really?

So, you know something
of the phenomenology

that we've been studying here?

Yes, a little bit.

And I'm gonna be candid.

This is all brand-new to me.

I have no prior knowledge
of what's going on.

Better yet.

So, guys, uh, we have an anomaly

in the sky, uh,
in that direction,

almost due west from right here.

It's in an area we call "the
triangle," and it's above that.

We've seen GPS
anomalies and a radio signal

actually coming from that area.

What we would like to do is look

through the anomaly
at an astronomical object

and see if they seem to look
the way they're supposed to,

or if they're obscured, moved,
or something along those lines.

So, here's the plan.

You guys start getting set up,

and what I would like to do is,

so you can see the area
that we're talking about

that has the anomaly in it,

Dragon and I are gonna
take a rocket out there

and set it up in-in this spot

and launch it right
underneath where we are.

You guys try and capture
it through the telescope.

- That make sense?
- Yeah. -Yes, sir.

- Okay.
- All right, let's go!

The plan

is to have Richard,
Chuck and Dave

focus their
high-powered telescopes

up at that mile-high area

above the triangle while

we launch more
rockets in an attempt

to stimulate UAP activity.

That's very impressive.
How tall is that?

- Ten feet?
- Yeah.

It's a hundred inches
from the mirror down there

up to the IPC here, actually.

This was a big experiment

with a lot of moving parts.

I'm up and running.

These guys have
brought out six different telescopes

that can capture
high-definition imagery

all the way out to outer space.

Each one also features
a computerized database

of planets and constellations

so it can lock onto
a known object

in the sky above the triangle

and track that object's
motion precisely.

Any change in the appearance
of that object's motion means

that there's a gravitational
anomaly above the triangle,

bending the starlight
in a way it shouldn't.

- Hey, Kaleb.
- Hey, Erik.

You, uh, called us in?

Yeah, so, I've got this
tracking cam ready.

- Okay.
- This is the PTZ that goes with the all-sky.

So, this is the one
that you're gonna pair

- with the sky-facing one?
- Yeah, yeah. So, we've got

that fish-eye camera's looking
basically horizon to horizon.

- It's that one right there, right?
- Right here.

Meanwhile, Erik had Thomas

and Kaleb help install his new,

all-sky UAP tracking
camera system

so we could have even more eyes

on the anomalous
area above the triangle.

This is a smart system.
It will hopefully help us

to avoid missing anything
that comes in our airspace.

Well, this is...
this is amazing.

If you're ready to put that up,

- I'll work with you in here on it.
- Okay.

- We'll go get her done.
- All right.

It's at the triangle

where we've repeatedly detected
dangerously high energy spikes

about 5,000 feet up...

Look at the sky, y'all!

- UAP right there!
- Yup, I see it.

and also launched
rockets that stimulated numerous UAPs

to suddenly appear.

You've got to be me.

I'm really excited
to have these.

It'll just be nice to be able
to actually zoom in on stuff

and track it across the sky.

Hey, Erik?

Uh,

Tom's about to put
the camera up for you.

Perfect. I've got him in view.

Adding to our

surveillance program, we
have set up an all-sky camera.

This is a fish-eye lens that
sees from horizon to horizon

and straight overhead,

taking in the entire
canopy of the sky.

We're also adding a
directable telescopic camera

that is able to identify,
track and follow objects

that appear in the
sky over the ranch.

- Well, we just about got it, Kaleb.
- Okay.

We're looking at
the skies over the triangle

and at the ranch in
a lot of different ways.

Hey, Erik, it's Kaleb.
We got the camera up.

Can you see on the network?

I've got it, guys.

It looks good. We can
see pretty much everything

we need to see
from that position.

Awesome.

That's one thing
off the checklist.

This new all-sky
camera system is really vital

to our experiment.

The telescopes will be
locked onto the anomaly

above the triangle with a
very narrow field of view,

so if UAP appear
anywhere else on the ranch,

we need to make sure we
can capture them on video.

The camera system
will also be able

to monitor the ranch cattle.

Because of how the cows
have acted in the past

when UAP appeared, they
will make the perfect biosensors

during the experiment.

All right. That's all we got.

I guess we'll
just set it up in the center.

Yeah.

As we prepare for our
most advanced experiment yet,

Dragon and I went
down to the triangle

to set up for the first rocket.

- Put it down so it's... There we go.
- Try to get it level.

You think that's far
enough away from the truck?

Uh, well,

that depends on
who you're asking.

Whose truck is it?

Since we only have an
approximate zone of interest,

this experiment
will have two goals.

First, we want to record
the best footage possible

of any UAP that might appear.

If you want to lock
it about right there

while we work
on it, that's fine.

- That's fine. I'll just lock it.
- Oh, see if you can

- get it about like that, Bryant.
- Yup.

All right, we got the motor.

And second, we want
to pinpoint the exact spot

that these things could
be originating from.

I'm thinking that right there

- is a pretty-pretty good angle.
- Okay.

- You locked in? All right.
- Yup, we're locked.

I'm gonna turn the lights on
and, uh, we'll get ready to go.

Oh, and there's...
there's a special light

we put in the nose cone, too.

For this rocket,

we have LED lights
blinking all over the thing

so the astronomers out here
can find the thing in the sky.

It's fine. All right.

And then we'll turn these
on right before we go.

Once we were done, all
we needed was the dark

and the telescopes ready to go.

You can call 'em and tell 'em

that we're gonna be good
to go whenever they are.

Okay.

- Hey there, Tom and Kandus.
- Hi, Jim.

- Hello, neighbors.
- Hello.

- How you doing, kiddo?
- Hi.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

- Nice to see you.
- While we waited

for the sun to go down,

Jim Morse, Tom Lewis

and Kandus Linde were continuing

their effort to meet with the
members of the community

who have their own stories
about bizarre phenomenon.

It's nice to have Addy come
up here and visit with us

and compare notes as neighbors.

- Yeah. Thanks for having me over.
- You're our closest,

closest neighbor. We run
into you every once in a while.

Addy is part of the Ute tribe,

and she has a few things

she wants to share
with us that may help us

with the investigation
here on the ranch.

She just had witnessed something

that I thought would
be pretty profound.

Yeah, well, it was actually
a couple nights ago.

- Yeah.
- Oh, so what happened the other night?

Well, me and a friend
was bringing in groceries,

and he called me out
to look up at the sky.

And there was a
big old bright light.

- Hear anything?
- It was so quiet.

Yeah, and it was heading
up north, and then it stops.

But usually, when you
see an anomaly out here,

they disappear because
it's like they know you see it.

But this one didn't do that.

And then it started
to go faster north.

And then it's gone.

Have you seen this
type of thing before?

Yeah, I've actually seen
it before a few times.

And my grandpa would talk about

different anomalies
he would see and things

that would happen
around the farm.

Like what, as an example?

One night, he was
out in the four-wheeler,

and, uh, he noticed the cows
were looking up at the sky,

and there was a big old bright
ball very low to the ground.

And it rose up, and
then it just disappeared.

Wow.

Her story rings a bell because

we had this strange
incident with this cow

that just died all of sudden.

Still don't know
why it happened.

What in the world?

There were some strange events

around the death of that cow.

Is that black object the cow?

Yeah, the cow is right here.

I'm gonna do this, uh,
very slowly, frame by frame.

So here, I can't
help but also notice

that there's something
happening here.

- Oh, whoa! Look at that!
- Yeah, there it is right there.

I mean, having
correlated stories, very similar...

That was very interesting.

So we have the
lights with the cow.

Anything else come to mind?

My grandpa's seen some, uh,

I guess you'd say
it was a skinwalker.

I don't know if I want
to talk about this one, though.

People out here
that have lived in the area...

They've grown up with these...

this-this phenomenon
called "the skinwalker."

This is when the Navajo

and the Utes got into
more than a skirmish.

Back in the mid-1800s,

the Navajos ended
up cursing the Utes.

The skinwalker
is a shape-shifter.

So there's a fear associated
with talking about these things.

- It is scary to talk about.
- Yeah.

On the flip side, though,
what we're trying to do is

we're trying to get as
many stories as we can get.

- Yeah.
- You know, because it...

it helps paint a picture
of what's maybe going on

in, you know, in
this particular area

on Skinwalker Ranch,

- but the Uinta Basin in general.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

And the more people talk
about that, the easier it gets

- for other people to talk about it.
- Okay.

Um, my grandpa went out

in the field, and
he noticed a tall,

dark, you know, figure
watching him cut hay.

And each time he would
go around the... the field,

it would get closer and closer.

- Mm-hmm.
- And he said it looked like it had, like, a long cloak.

And then, when he got
closer to it, it just vanished.

Disappeared. I don't know why.

There is some scary
things that have gone on

- over the years on this ranch.
- Yeah.

To have witness testimony

to the reality of what we're
experiencing at the ranch

is both thrilling, and
it's also terrifying.

I mean, what we're
dealing with here is

something not
to be taken lightly.

Well, thank you for coming
up. You are our closest neighbor.

- Yeah.
- You know?

Really appreciate it. It's
always good to see you.

- It's good to see you guys.
- Thanks for being so receptive.

- I'm gonna walk Addy home.
- Thanks, Jim.

What lies ahead?

I think we have before
us a great challenge

to understand the
origin and the agenda

associated with the phenomena,

with what we are
interacting with

on Skinwalker Ranch.

Hey, Bryant, go ahead.

We're gonna
say another two-minute

time frame starting

- here shortly.
- As soon as it was

dark enough to see the stars,

it was time to start
the experiment.

I want to fire
rockets straight up

from the inside of the triangle

while the astronomers
view and capture

incredibly close
images of the anomaly.

And hopefully, they can record
something we can analyze later.

And you've got a good
view of their position?

- Yeah, I think.
- Great.

Whenever they're ready.

All right, so let's lock it
about-about right there.

- Like that? Yeah.
- Yup, the wind's picking up

a little bit more.

Hey, Bryant, Travis,

you guys ready for launch?

We're waiting on him.

Yeah, we are, Erik.
Anytime you're ready,

we can start the
timer, go radio silence,

and we will launch.

Please stand by.
Give me a moment.

I'm having trouble getting my,
uh, computerized mount aligned.

Hey, Bryant, please
hold. We're not ready.

- Holding the count.
- No problem.

We'll hold. Just let us know.

Don't let me distract you,
but if you can describe briefly,

what is the function
that you're trying to do

- that it's not doing?
- Uh, when we...

When I first set up the mount,

- I have to aim it at a couple of stars.
- Uh-huh.

And that builds the model
of the sky in the computer.

It's not letting me do that.

I've had this particular
telescope over ten years now,

and I have never had
a problem like this.

- Okay, now it's moving.
- It's not the light

- that's throwing it off, is it?
- No.

It becomes clear

that things are getting
really strange, really fast.

And we're having difficulty
performing even the most basic

calibration exercises
with the telescopes in order

to locate themselves in space.

For some reason, this
doesn't surprise me.

Hey, we're all set
up here to launch this rocket

whenever you guys are
ready with your equipment.

We're not ready.

The object I just slewed
to a little while ago

is now no longer
in the database.

This is junk right now.

This is just thousands
of dollars' worth of junk.

So, what do you mean
that it's not in there?

This has thousands of
objects in the database.

- Stars, planets, galaxies, everything.
- Yeah.

And if you enter it and hit
it, it will slew to that object.

I had it on one earlier,

and that object is no
longer in the database.

- They're listed alphabetically.
- The one that you started with?

Right. It had to be in
there for me to slew to it.

- Does this operate off GPS?
- No, no.

We're doing it all manual
so that we don't have

to rely on GPS.

The one I'm looking
for is called "Rasalgethi."

The one we want is not there.

- Has it ever done this before?
- The one that's right...

No, but that's the star
that's where the anomaly is.

So, the star above the
anomaly is not showing up there?

Not in the database.

And it was a little while ago.

Are you hearing this, Erik?

I find it really mysterious that

as soon as we attempt
to lock on to stars

that are above the triangle,

they are being deleted one
at a time from the star catalog

on the internal memory
of his telescope computer.

I don't even know
how that's possible.

What is gaining access to
the memory of this system?

It doesn't want me to
slew to the anomaly.

See, that's the one we want.

- And that's the one not showing up?
- It's not there.

Hey, Erik, we are ready

to roll when you
guys tell us to.

Another star just
disappeared from the database.

You have got to be kidding me.

There's nothing in
the anomaly area

that is in the database anymore.

Now, you're not
connected to network?

You're not pulling
anything from the cloud,

- or anything that would be updating?
- Nothing.

As soon as I try to point
it to the anomaly area, uh,

any-any object... And
that's a big piece of sky.

There are a lot of
things in the catalog

in that part of the sky,

and I can find things all
around the perimeter of it,

but nothing in the middle.

We're dealing
with an issue over here.

As these stars are tracking
into the anomaly, they are

disappearing off the
menu of the telescope.

We're not even able

to train the telescope
on the stars because

as the stars enter that area,

they are disappearing off
the menu of the telescope.

That's actually crazy.
So, let me get this straight.

Ask them if they mean it's
disappearing from the menu

in the computer
from the telescopes

of potential stars
they can look at,

or if they're literally
disappearing?

They are disappearing
from the menu,

disappearing from
the internal catalog

in the computer that's
running the scope.

It was baffling that telescopes

of this caliber, design and
from different manufacturers

would all glitch like that.

In fact, we've had so many
sophisticated equipment failures

take place during
our experiments

that it's almost become a sign
that something strange is about

to happen on the ranch.

We really need to
launch this rocket.

Come on, Dragon. Let's
get this rocket ready.

Be advised, guys.

We're about to sh**t the
rocket and sh**t it right through

- whatever this is!
- No.

Hurry up. What if
something happens?

We need to launch
this rocket now.

We need to launch
this rocket now.

I want to go!

When the professional grade

astronomical telescopes
failed, I knew this could be

one of those times

where ranch activity
really starts to kick up.

Tell them to get
ready for a countdown.

We're gonna launch
in two minutes.

Okay, we're gonna launch
this rocket in two minutes.

So I wanted
to start launching rockets

as fast as we could

and see if we can get a response

from the anomaly
above the triangle.

Five, four,

three,

two, one.

See, that one shot up there.

There it is.

All right.

Are you capturing stuff?

- This scope is pretty dead. I mean...
- Dead?

I aimed it manually in
the, in the anomaly area,

and then the
camera wouldn't work.

I-I couldn't get a, I
couldn't get a feed

from the camera to the laptop.

And this camera
is suddenly not working

- when I'm pointing it over there.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Your camera's not working?

This one's
not working on the... over...

So, when you point
this towards the triangle,

- it's not working?
- Nothing's showing up on the camera.

It's hard to explain
why so many things go wrong

anytime we tried to
swing the telescopes

in the direction of the anomaly.

You know, we were able
to image fine outside of that,

but the minute we
get inside there,

a number of
mechanical problems, uh,

seemed to occur,
which is i-inexplicable.

All three of you have
had glitches here

that you don't see other places?

- Never had them before.
- Yeah.

I can't get any of the cameras

at the bait pen to come up.

You're not getting a response

from any of our
cameras out there?

No. No.

Everything's dead out there.

I can't get through to anything.

So, when he pointed
that big telescope

- towards the triangle...
- Mm-hmm.

The screen went black.

Now, that is really spooky.

Makes you feel crazy.

Hey, Travis, uh, we're not
even able to train the telescope

on the stars.

So what's going
into the computer

and telling the computer
and the telescope

that the star isn't there?

I've never heard
of such a thing.

Since the telescope computers

wouldn't align with the stars,

the astronomers had
to align them manually,

but when they
moved the telescopes

to look at the anomaly,
the telescopes failed.

Their cameras
wouldn't get an image

through the triangle anomaly.

Before it was the computers
that weren't working,

and now it's the actual cameras
connected to the telescopes.

Hey, Bryant,
Travis, do you copy?

Oh, we got you. Go ahead.

We can fixate
on stars elsewhere,

but not the ones
over the anomaly.

- No kidding?
- So, I think it'd be a good idea

just to shine the
laser straight up

to provide a reference
that we can fixate on.

- That's what we're gonna do.
- Okay.

If you're ready, we
will shine it right now.

Uh, go right... Go
right up to launch rail.

Since the telescope's
computer wasn't working,

Erik got the idea
to have Kaleb aim

a military-grade laser
pointer up through the triangle

so that Chuck could
manually focus on it

to see if anything
strange could be identified

in the anomalous zone.

- There you go.
- Okay. Kaleb is shining

the laser straight up.

Can you see it?

Have you got it in there now?

- Yeah, that's it.
- Okay, good.

Yes, we can see the green laser.

Hey, Travis?

What... Yeah. Yeah, Kaleb?

There's points
where it looks like the,

the beam, like,
disconnects from itself.

What? Where you are now?

Yeah.

What?

I-I don't know.

It's just weird.

Like, right there. You see that?

Yeah, I did
see that. It's like it jumps.

Yeah, right there.
It did it again.

Ah, right there, looking
like it suddenly got shorter.

See, how... looks
like it's cutting off?

Yeah, it's like
there's something there.

There's something there.

When Kaleb pointed the
laser up through the triangle,

we expected it to
just go straight up.

But as he's moving it around,

it looks like it
actually gets shorter,

like it's being cut
off at a certain point

by an object or something
that we can't see,

and it's right there,
in the anomalous zone

above the triangle.

Hey, guys. Y'all are
not gonna believe this.

Chances are we're gonna
believe anything you say, Travis.

Kaleb is pointing

the laser pointer
up into the sky,

and it's like it hits
something and it only goes

a certain distance, and then
he moves it and it goes further.

Uh, dude, did you see it bend?!

Dude, did you see that?!

Then the end of the laser bends.

Did you see that?

We're hitting something,

and the laser beam
is literally bending.

What in the hell is that?

- I can see it, like, bending.
- Oh...

I'm watching two beams.

I am literally watching
two beams from right here.

It makes a "Y" out of the beam.

And then the laser
actually splits into a Y.

We can see two beams happening

when it hits something up there.

God, I wish I could
see that from here.

That's insane, dude.

Travis.

Any sense of how
high up this object is?

Somewhere about 2,000 feet up.

We really need to launch
this rocket through that.

Come on. Dragon, let's
get this rocket ready.

Let's sh**t it right
through where that is.

All I could think was that
maybe we finally pinpointed

the anomaly above the triangle

where the laser
beam was splitting.

So, it was definitely
time to fire a rocket

up there and see
what would happen.

I want to go.

Keep that laser
beam up there, Kaleb.

I'm gonna try to
point this rocket there.

This is not going anything
like what I would have expected.

Well, I'll tell you right
now, I got chills everywhere.

I need to tilt it just a little.

Probably right there.

- All right, Kaleb. Yeah.
- Right there, Travis. Right there.

All right,
that's where I'm pointing.

- I'm pointing right at that. Yep.
- Right there.

Okay. Everybody, clear back.

We've seen a lot of weird stuff,

and I'm hoping the rockets
will go right through that spot

and they can see if
something weird happens

to its trajectory through the
telescopes while it's going.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

When Kaleb pointed the
laser up into the triangle,

the beam bent, split and
appeared to hit something.

- Which should be impossible.
- That looked like a beautiful flight.

That was straight up.

So we decided to
quickly launch a rocket

and see if we couldn't hit
whatever it was causing that.

- Oh.
- There we go. Here.

Yeah.

I'll go grab that.

All right, I'll tell
you what, Kaleb.

Just get it and just meet
us back at the helipad.

Dragon and I will break down...

- Okay.
- Load everything up and head back.

After our rocket launch
up into the triangle,

I was eager to go join
the others at the helipad

and see if we could get a
look through the telescopes

at what might have
caused the laser

to bend and split like that.

We're gonna head
back and then, uh,

just go back to basic

astronomical observation.

Copy that. See you soon.

All right, let's do it.

Uh... the cattle are
acting very abnormal.

We're sitting on the helipad,

and the cows start
to really act up.

They're mooing a lot.
They're making a lot of noise.

Erik, the cows
have pushed in on us.

Is it all of them
or is it just a few?

The whole herd is scattered
through the entire field.

Something has
definitely scared them

and-and stirred them up.

What the heck? They pushed
all the way around the helipad.

I'm getting
something on the 1.6.

Hey, guys, so Thomas
is out in the field.

We often talk about
these cows being biosensors.

And after what's happened
in the past with animals

on this ranch, we
always keep a keen eye

on the cattle for
any strange activity.

Suddenly, they're acting weird

while we're conducting this
experiment at the triangle,

and there's also massive
equipment failures.

My first thought was,
"We should be looking up."

Everybody, scan the
skies, scan the skies.

Look at this one right here.

I don't know what that is.

What the
hell is that in the sky?

To the south.

There it is!

It's moving real slow.

Well, I'm looking at it.

There's no red or green
or white lights on it.

That thing is big and spherical.

Yes, it is.

It's got a black dot
in the center of it.

What in the crap?

I am seeing a double peak
near 1.6 with some side bands.

I noticed that the spectrum
analyzer is giving us once again

this mysterious
1.6 gigahertz signal.

The 1.6 is often seen in
conjunction with UAP activity.

There's no red
or green or white lights on it.

It doesn't look
like it's that far away, either.

Richard spots this
object up in the sky,

and it's not blinking
like an aircraft.

It's not like anything
I've ever seen before.

And it starts to track
towards the east

and then it started to
turn towards the north.

It's definitely one of the
more incredible sightings

that I've seen here
on Skinwalker Ranch.

And it's coming
up on Jupiter right now.

Yes, it is. It's
going right under Jupiter.

And it's
almost as big as Jupiter.

That is bright.
That ain't an airplane.

Airplanes at night
have to have navigational lights,

red and green.

And these lights will blink.

And, uh, this object that I saw,

it didn't have that deliberate
direction that an airplane has.

It-it seemed to be kind
of lazy and slow-moving,

taking its time.

It had no navigation
lights, no landing lights.

The entire object was glowing.

I still see it, but
it's getting dim.

It just disappeared.

Wow.

It didn't move like

anything that I've seen before,

and it-it certainly,
when-when we zeroed in on it,

it didn't look like anything
that I've seen before.

And after all this, I-I'm gonna
have to just sit down and think

- for a few minutes.
- Yeah, I don't know how to process this.

Yeah. This is the kind of thing

that makes us feel
like it's targeted.

You know. The fact that you
can pick up a star anywhere,

but once you go to the spot
that we're trying to observe,

- it... doesn't work.
- Yeah.

How can something
know that you are pointing

that Dobsonian
telescope in that direction?

There's no electronic
setting circles,

no encoders.

There's nothing. No GP...

- There's nothing on that.
- Nope.

You get away from the anomaly

- and everything's normal again.
- Wow.

We were all mentally exhausted

by whatever that was

that appeared after
our final rocket launch.

It was the biggest
UAP we've seen so far,

and it appeared to
have come closer

than any of the others as well.

And with the cows
reacting the way they did,

it makes me think
that we're getting closer

to answers here on
Skinwalker Ranch.

When I first, uh,
contacted you guys

and I told you that there might
be a weird anomaly in the sky,

what-what was your thought
then versus what you think now?

I was really skeptical.

And now we're just
kind of freaked out.

Oh, it's beyond bizarre.

I don't know how to
explain something like that.

I was hoping to see
things I'd never seen before,

and I wasn't disappointed.

Until you come out
here and experience this,

you think it's, like,
all made... you can't...

It's-it's too crazy.

You can't make this up.

I have no explanations for
anything going on out here.

All right, appreciate it,
guys. This was good stuff.

- Crazy but good.
- Crazy but good.

Yes, crazy but good.

Come on in. I want
to get your eyes on this.

Dude, I got to tell
you what's going on

over at my trailer.

I was sleeping pretty good,
and it's like something pounded

into my trailer so hard,
the trailer actually moved.

It wasn't the sound
itself that woke you up?

The sound woke me up. I mean, I...

I, like, just stood... I
mean, straight up from...

'cause it was such a bang.

It's like, uh,
something, like...

It's like I backed my Jeep
into the-the trailer or something.

I mean, the trailer
literally did that.

What time did you say it was?

It was right at 5:13 a.m.

Well, you're not
gonna believe it,

but that's about the
same time I woke up.

I had nightmares.

- Really?
- It was, like, chill bumps.

Couldn't go back to sleep,
so I've been looking around

in the, in the
sky-facing cameras,

looking at-at the stars.

And there's something
really interesting

that I haven't seen before

- that I'd like to get your eyes on.
- Okay.

- Um, it...
- Well, I see you're looking at Orion.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- There, there. All right.
- h*!

- What was that?
- Okay, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Yeah, look how bright... that's
the brightest thing in the sky.

So, if I go through
frame by frame.

Wow.

Look at... I mean, that's a
greater magnitude than Jupiter.

The flash of light that Erik
captured above the ranch

on his new surveillance
camera system was not only

one of the most
incredible anomalies

that we've documented so far,

but the time it appeared
was at the exact moment

in the morning when
something hit my trailer.

What could be that bright

and still just be setting
in one spot in the sky?

We don't have spacecraft
that can do an orbit like that.

- Mm-hmm.
- Right?

Where's it coming from?

This phenomena
was even more intense

than the UAP we
saw just hours earlier

with the rest of the team.

Could it really be connected
to Erik's nightmares

or the force that
shook me awake?

I don't know.

But it made this
night of experiments

even more compelling,
and is pretty convincing

that when we poke
this ranch, it responds.

Travis, every time we get
something new like this,

- I-I put it in front of Brandon, in front of everybody.
- Oh...

- We got to get everybody's eyes on this.
- Yeah.

You know, we got to
show Dragon and Tom.

This is a first of its kind.

All right, appreciate it,
Erik. That's amazing, Erik.

That's an amazing
find right there.

Later that
afternoon, we asked Brandon

to drop everything,
come to the ranch

to see the data we collected.

Welcome back.

These were things that we knew

he would want to see for
himself as soon as possible.

Hey, guys.

I understand that you have
a few things to show me.

As always.

Uh, let's dive in.

Uh, we invited, uh,

some astronomers
in a, in the local

Utah astronomy organization

to bring some very
high-tech telescopes

- with camera platforms.
- And these are big telescopes.

We set up to launch some
rockets up through the anomaly

at the triangle, and
they would see this

with these very calibrated
and expensive, uh, telescopes.

And something
erased the information

from a computer that's not
connected to any network.

Really?

It appears that something

is deliberately meddling
with our systems,

with the third-party
experts and their systems,

every time they're
brought on the damn ranch.

And with all the
craziness going on,

we caught on camera a UAP,

but this is something that
I saw with my own eyes,

and it's probably the
most significant UAP

that I have seen in my
entire time on the ranch.

- So, I've got it cued up.
- You've captured the footage?

- It's right here.
- We have it.

Great. Show me.

Wow.

You have got to be kidding.

It-it was so
bright, and it looked so close.

This is a spherical-shaped
object with structure.

- I-I can, I can zoom in on this if you'd like.
- Yeah, zoom in on it.

And look at...
There's a dot in the middle of it

that everybody could
see with their own eyes.

- You see right there?
- You see where...

You can definitely see that dot

in the middle of it right there.

If I had not seen it
with my own eyes,

I might would be tempted to say,

"Okay, this is an optical
phenomena in the camera lens

that is out... slightly out
of focus or something."

But it looked like that
to your own naked eye.

It was so bright,
it had subtense.

Look at that.

- Well, and...
- That is extraordinary.

And caught on multiple cameras.

I'm telling you, watching it
with my eyes, standing there,

not trying to hold a camera,

the strange erratic movement
i-is what really cemented to me

that there is something
extremely strange about this.

I-I would tell you
that I think there's enough data

in the video footage that-that
this is more than a UAP,

that this is a UFO.

This is an unidentified
flying object.

It's not just some
aerial phenomena.

Wow.

It continues to
shock me to this day

that we saw, yet
again, another UAP.

And that's not the only
thing that happened.

It gets better.

You know, the
strangeness just continues.

We have something to show you

that I've personally
never seen before.

In fact, I didn't even think

something like
this was possible.

So, this is a little complex,
but, boy, is it a story.

Yeah, so I'll start
from my perspective.

- Okay.
- Uh, while I was asleep in my trailer,

something immediately
made me raise

straight up out of bed,
fight-or-flight reflex.

And let me tell you,
as soon something...

Anything like this ever
happens to me, I always say,

"Hey, telephone,
what time is it?"

And it tells me 5:13 a.m.

At about

ten minutes after
5:00 in the morning,

I was asleep just outside
of the main control room,

and I startled awake

from what you might
consider a night terror.

I decided I would go and, uh,

look at the
surveillance cameras.

As I was looking,
something caught my eye,

and it was a flash.

And he said, "Let me show you

what I saw in the cameras."

I will show
you the actual footage.

I want to get your eyes on it.

I'm going to frame-advance
into this so you can see

exactly what I saw.

Whoa.

- Yeah, holy cow.
- Oh, my gosh.

It is such an intense burst

that surpasses
anything else in the sky.

- Can you play that again?
- Yeah.

It's unexplainable,
isn't it? It's-it's...

This is crazy.

From everything you are saying,

there is absolutely no
conventional explanation

for this.

Uh, well, let me explain this.

Uh, so, as part of the search

for extraterrestrial
intelligence protocol,

one of the first things you do
if you think you've picked up

a radio signal from the stars

or an optical
signal from the stars

is you carefully
track its motion.

And we've got the video
here now tracking its motion

at stellar motion.

Meaning it's following
sidereal motion.

That's the motion of the stars.

We cannot build a
spacecraft that can do that.

We've been talking
about the area

over the triangle being
some sort of anomaly,

potentially a portal, uh,

one end of a
wormhole, something.

- What if that's the, uh...
- An interdimensional gateway.

- It could be an... Yeah.
- What if... Yeah.

What if that's the other
end of the wormhole?

There's been so much
lore around the idea

that a portal or a wormhole
between deep space

and Skinwalker
Ranch is the gateway

for all the strange
phenomena that happens here.

Could this anomaly
that Erik captured

on his Skycam be
evidence that it's true?

I don't know, but I wonder

if we're getting
closer to an answer.

This escalates the
importance of what we're doing

and the need to
bring in individuals

that can help
shine a light on this

and at least pull in a more
collaborative approach.

Yeah, let me reach
out to some folks about

some other instruments
that might be useful.

We've got
logistics to take care of.

- I think we need to get moving in that direction.
- Yeah.

I know you are on
a schedule, so, uh,

I think this is a good
place for us to end.

- Yeah, let's go.
- Thanks.

- Was this compelling?
- Yeah.

Hell yes.

As mysterious events continue,

I think it's absolutely true
that what we've discovered here

and what we're
doing here ongoing

could contribute to our
understanding of the universe.

We're seeing more strange
phenomena over Skinwalker Ranch,

over the triangle,
and now we're seeing

a strange flash of light

occurring over the
ranch to the south.

Are they connected?

It seems awfully
likely that they are.

We're gonna have
to find some answers

and solve this mystery about
what's going on out here.

All the adversity,
the equipment malfunctions

and the great difficulties,
we still captured on camera

stunning UFO activity,

with astronomers
present, witnessing it.

Why are these things appearing?

What is the origin
and the agenda

associated with the phenomena

that we are witnessing
at Skinwalker Ranch?

I think we've just barely
scratched the surface

of exploring what
secrets the ranch holds.

If we were
to come in and dig again,

would we get any response?

Where you dig
makes a difference.

It died.

We're getting
a spike in radiation.

There was a spike at 3,400.

Everybody out of here now.

Erik, are you doing something at 1.6?

I'm not broadcasting.

That's a communication signal

or something.

This is out at
the Carriage House.

What the hell is that?

You've captured a UAP on camera.
