04x14 - Living in a Metamaterial World

[bunniefuu]

Senator Lee,
thank you for joining us.

When members of the Senate
discuss things in the sky

- that we can't explain, we need to know what's there.
- Absolutely.

We are going to try to stimulate
phenomena above the triangle,

all through the anomalous zone.

Oh, those two hit!
Holy cow, look at that.

KALEB: From the moment
they launch the rockets,

you can see all of them come up.

We're looking at
something formation flying.

That thing took a major detour.

TRAVIS: We are about
to launch the big rocket.

Oh, my goodness!

Hey, anybody got the rocket?

You seeing anything?

KALEB: It's gone.

NARRATOR: There is
a ranch in northern Utah.

It is considered the
epicenter of the strangest

and most disturbing
phenomena on Earth:

Animal mutilations,

bizarre UFO sightings,

and unusual energies

that have proven
harmful to humans.

For 20 years, the
federal government

tried to find
answers... and failed.

Now, a new team of
dedicated scientists,

researchers and experts

has taken over.

They are determined
to solve the mystery...

and reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

TRAVIS: Is anybody
seeing the rocket?

THOMAS: I'm looking.

Where... Anybody got the rocket?

BRYANT: Are you seeing anything?

TRAVIS: Did anybody
ever see the chute pop?

I didn't hear a pop.
I didn't see anything.

It's gone.

TRAVIS: If it was lawn darted,

we'd have probably heard
that thing thud big-time.

DAVE: Yeah.

TRAVIS: During our
last and most ambitious

experiment of the year,

one of the strangest
things we've ever witnessed

on Skinwalker
Ranch just occurred.

You guys, why don't
we go under the tent?

I think the Sky Elements
guys are coming over to join us.

Sounds great.

TRAVIS: A high-powered rocket,

capable of reaching a
speed of 800 miles per hour

and an altitude of 10,000 feet

seems to have just
vanished after we launched it

up through the anomalous
zone above the triangle.

Who knows what happened
to that rocket? (laughs)

Who knows where it went,
I mean it went out of sight

and I never heard it come down.

- Nope.
- I don't know what happened to it.

So, we're talking about
10,000 feet or higher?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Probably right over 10,000 feet

- at Mach 1.5.
- ERIK: Okay.

So you broke the sound barrier.

- Broke the sound barrier.
- Mm-hmm.

- That's awesome.
- Wow.

TRAVIS: What's most
incredible about this

is that 10,000 feet
above the triangle

is right where a
radar balloon scan

that we conducted
earlier this year

detected a shift in time
of a quarter of a second.

Go for launch.

KIM: Off it goes.

We lost a quarter
second of time.

Really? For data like this, a
quarter of a second is huge!

And believe it or not,

that actually offers evidence

of what many scientists,
including Albert Einstein,

have believed
would be a side effect

of a nearby
traversable wormhole.

Could that be what we
really just discovered

high above Skinwalker Ranch?

The rockets were acting way
more erratic than I was expecting.

- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, corkscrewing...

- Yeah.
- You know, just something we normally never see.

- Yeah.
- DAVE: And then the fact that you couldn't

launch them all at once,

and all of a sudden you
can launch them all at once.

It-it... None of this,
it just doesn't jive.

TRAVIS: Well, how
you guys doing?

Tell us about, uh,
in the first flight,

it looked like he had
about three or four drones

that seemed to fail.

And then the second
one, there was ten.

- Is that typical?
- TYLER: No, not at all.

We've never had
them fail that early.

- Really? Hmm.
- TYLER: Never.

That's absolutely unheard of.

Wow.

So just think about it,
we have just conducted

the most ambitious,
most complex,

really the largest scale
collection of experiments...

- Mm-hmm.
- That we've ever done here so far.

And, uh, you know, as you've
mentioned, we've probably

got about a terabyte
of data to look through.

That's not an exaggeration.

Erik, I can't wait for
us to download that

and play back through
it, frame by frame.

Oh, yeah. I'm anxious to
go collect those trackers.

Retrieve those from the
drones, and then I'm ready

to break it down, go
take a look at the data.

Yeah, I-I think so. I think
it's time for us to pack it up.

- Yeah. I'm ready.
- (overlapping agreements)

All right. Great
work, everybody.

ERIK: Thank you very much.

(crickets chirping)

TRAVIS: After Erik
spent several days

reviewing the massive
amounts of data we collected

during our final experiment,

Brandon Fugal asked the team

to meet at his offices in
Salt Lake City for a briefing

and to discuss everything
else we documented this year.

It's great to be
back with everyone,

thank you for coming together.

I, uh, appreciate
Governor Herbert

joining us for this
historic briefing.

TRAVIS: We were
joined not only by

former governor of
Utah Gary Herbert,

but also Jim Royston,
the CEO of OmniTeq

and former executive director

of the International
Space Station Laboratory,

as well as Jay Stratton,

who worked with Robert
Bigelow to investigate the ranch

in the early 2000s and...

was a career defense
intelligence senior leader

who was my boss when I took part

in the federal government's
UAP Task Force

between 2019 and 2022.

I think it's important

that we dive right
into the material

and the findings, uh,
from the recent months

of investigation and
research, which has been

more groundbreaking and
historic than ever before.

As principal investigator
since the beginning,

Erik, would you, uh,
mind taking us through

some of the observations?

Yeah, so what I have to show you

are data hot off the presses.

This is something
we've just done,

one of our biggest, if not
the biggest experiment

that we've ever
performed on the ranch.

This was done at the triangle
and involves powerful lasers,

many rockets being launched
and we added the element

of hundreds of drones

being flown at the
same time in formation.

And I have the-the GPS positions

of some of those
drones represented here

in the colors that you see on
the screen here in the model.

So, what you see, um,

are the raw data
from those trackers

and what may jump
out at you immediately

is that there are
some anomalies.

Mm.

Okay.

ERIK: Uh, those are the
yellow points that you see

that appear to go
beneath the ground.

BRANDON: Wow!

Whoa. That's insane.

TRAVIS: This was only
one of many experiments

where we've seen GPS
trackers above ground

somehow appear to go
deep under the surface.

I think we are right
at about the spot

where we started
to feel the fear.

TRAVIS: In fact,
earlier this year,

Jay Stratton toured
hot spots with us

where he, himself,
experienced strange phenomena

more than a decade ago.

And the GPS tracker
we had on our vehicle

collected data that went more
than 1,000 feet underground.

I have no idea what
could possibly cause that.

Now, during this
drone experiment,

- we were also collecting thermal imaging.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.

ERIK: We had the FLIR
camera set up looking

at a portion of the mesa
and at a swath of the sky,

and there are in fact
some things that show up

in that footage that
really catch my attention.

Yeah.

I-I do want to share one
of the rocket launches

uh, in the thermal footage.

BRANDON: Okay.

- ERIK: So here we see the rockets have launched.
- TRAVIS: Nice.

This was a simultaneous
launch of a pair of rockets.

Yeah, that's awesome.

So, besides the
rocket launch itself,

you may notice that there
are things showing up

in-in the thermal that we
did not see with our eyes.

So, I'd like to show you this
in a different representation.

Here we have a relief.

It gives it a
three-dimensional quality.

And some of the features
show up a little more clearly

when we look at them this way.

- BRANDON: Whoa.
- CAMERON: Wow, look at that.

TRAVIS: Oh, yeah, you
can clearly see the object.

ERIK: Are you
seeing it move across?

BRANDON: I see it.

I mean, you see
it when it appears.

So I'm going to take us
back just a little in the timeline.

TRAVIS: That
object is clearly there

but it didn't fly in.

It didn't come up
over the horizon,

it just appeared in that spot.

How did it get there?

Explain how it would
appear out of thin air.

TRAVIS: We've seen a lot of UAPs

in the skies above
Skinwalker Ranch.

And seeing this one
appear out of nowhere,

on the same night

where a rocket may
have disappeared

around 10,000 feet
above the triangle

just makes me wonder
if they could be related.

Now, that's really
interesting there.

I don't know what that is, Erik.

That's a good catch.

There are some other
things showing up.

Wait till you see the
next thing I've got for you.

- Oh, there's more?
- Oh, yeah.

Um, in this case, I
have what I classify

as ensembles of targets,
moving as if in formation.

I want you to focus on
this part of the screen here.

- BRANDON: Whoa.
- CAMERON: Oh, my gosh.

ERIK: You see what's happening?

Now look what happens.

BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

It's slowed down and
changing position, that's huge.

TRAVIS: W-What was that?

Now there's like
four or five of them.

Did you see that?

I thought it was one
object, they broke apart.

TRAVIS: W-What was that?

CAMERON: I thought it was
one object, they broke apart.

There's multiple of them.

I got to see that again.

You got it.

TRAVIS: So, there they come up

from the bottom
right of the screen,

you see them right there,

and then as they move in...

BRANDON: You say they,
it looks like one object to me.

- ERIK: Uh...
- KALEB: Wait till you see it.

TRAVIS: Yeah, that's one.
That is one object right there.

BRANDON: That's one object...

TRAVIS: And then
right here, watch...

right there, there
it split. Right there.

BRANDON: Has it split
or has it just morphed?

ERIK: I can dive in.

So, here they are.

You can see that there are
discrete objects in this set.

BRANDON: Yeah.

Like a cell dividing.

This is absolutely fascinating.

TRAVIS: When we first saw
this UAP split into smaller ones

during our experiment last
week, it was certainly baffling.

But when Erik refined
the footage and zoomed in,

so much more detail was revealed

and it was absolutely shocking.

So, I'm going to
remove that filter.

Here is our raw data, Brandon.

CAMERON: It's on
the thermal though.

ERIK: It's thermal.

- CAMERON: Yeah.
- BRANDON: No, it's a fleet.

- CAMERON: Flying formation.
- BRANDON: They are flying formation.

ERIK: So, what you are
looking at is something

that is warmer than the ambient.

The first thing I would think

is I am looking
at a flock of birds.

Geese is what I would think of.

- ERIK: Yes.
- Flying in a V or something.

ERIK: Yeah. But this is in fact

in the middle of the night.

Regardless of night, it
doesn't follow bird patterns

where they're so
tight, they're in one ball

and then they break off.

TRAVIS: Think about it. Yeah,
if-if they are formation flying,

uh, something is
communicating their formation

with each other or
each one of them

is making individual
measurements quickly

so that they don't
fly into each other.

If they're being
controlled from somewhere

then there's a signal that
would be being broadcast

between them updating
their information.

Could these things
have been formation flying

through remote or somehow in
communication with each other?

CAMERON: With Jay's
extensive experience with UAPs,

I'd like your perspective.
You're awfully quiet,

but I see that, uh...

Is this the first time you've
seen something like this?

- That's why I'm being quiet.
- (laughter)

There's something going on
here that's really very strange.

So, I have a similar event
from the same experiment.

- TRAVIS: Really?
- Yes.

- Another one?
- Another one, very similar to this.

This is from later during
the course of this exercise.

- You're looking at the raw thermographic footage.
- TRAVIS: Oh, look at that.

BRANDON: Oh.
And it just appeared.

TRAVIS: It didn't come
up over the horizon,

they were just there.

JIM: What's the number
count? Four? Four or five?

TRAVIS: I think five or six.
Look, more of them split off.

And how fast are they
going is the question.

ERIK: The other thing
that I find kind of peculiar

about this is the uniformity
of this motion, it's so smooth.

You know, normally when I
see at least in the near field

when I see birds flying
through my field of view

I see very erratic
type of movement.

You know, I see the-the
movement of the wings

and I also see, uh,
direction changes.

This, this is eerily uniform,

you know, as it moves
through our field of view.

TRAVIS: The interesting
thing to me is that

you've got it at
two different times,

looking in the
same field of view,

same direction, didn't change
the camera's, uh, viewpoint.

Which suggests it being a
common spot for whatever this is.

ERIK: Mm-hmm. Exactly.

So this all happened
within that same area

of where we saw the UAP
coming out of the mesa

and into the triangle.

TRAVIS: Three weeks ago,

we conducted an experiment

at the triangle by
launching rockets

horizontally from
the top of the mesa

and vertically from
the ground as well.

- Oh, wow.
- That was cool.

TRAVIS: And what a camera
mounted on Brandon's helicopter

captured absolutely
left us stunned.

BRANDON: Well, Erik,
do we have that footage?

ERIK: Yeah.

So, I want to draw your
attention to this area,

I want you to watch
this part of the sky

very carefully.

GARY: Yeah, I see it.

BRANDON: Watch as
that object descends.

ERIK: Now, it disappears.

And it gets really
interesting here.

We continue in the
helicopter towards the east.

On the lower left-hand
portion of the screen

suddenly a light comes
right out of the mesa.

- Oh, my gosh.
- That's scary.

ERIK: Okay, I'm
going to take us back.

- That's crazy.
- BRANDON: It's stunning.

- Wow.
- Yeah, wow.

TRAVIS: How many
times have we been told,

uh, from Junior Hicks,
from other folks around,

from the Bigelow-era
folks that, uh, they've seen

things fly in and
out of the mesa?

Well, we actually
have it on camera now

of something flying
in and out of the mesa.

TRAVIS: For generations,

the Indigenous
Navajo and Ute nations

near the ranch have
passed down stories

about interdimensional
portals, or wormholes,

allowing UAPs to actually
fly into and out of the mesa.

And now, we've not only seen
this phenomenon for ourselves,

but a number of other UAPs
just appear out of nowhere

and then simply vanish.

So, could the UAP that
appeared out of nowhere last week

and split into smaller objects

that flew in a uniform formation

have possibly emerged
from a wormhole

above Skinwalker Ranch?

Estimating the distance
from where this thing

flew into the ground

and where it came
out of the ground,

and the amount of time
that passes in the video,

suggests that it was doing
about 300 miles per hour

underneath the
surface of the ground,

if this is the same object
then flying through the mesa.

300 miles an hour through dirt.

Who knows what we're seeing.

It's beyond coincidence
that we see phenomena

appearing left and right,

and I'd say some
of the most stunning

UAP phenomena ever
captured on camera,

not just at Skinwalker
Ranch, but anywhere.

I mean, you-you've seen a lot,

Jay, I mean, to see clear as day

a luminous object

literally descend
from the sky quickly,

and then leave the mesa

and pass right
below the helicopter...

No, in one place to
capture all this, uh,

with the quality
of-of the, uh, cameras

and etcetera that we have is...

I don't know anywhere else.

Uh, there's a reason why
U.S. government organizations

like NIDS and AAWSAP
contracted this location

as an observatory,

uh, and it's really,
uh, lived up to that.

- Absolutely.
- BRANDON: So crazy.

Well, within the
region of the triangle,

we have seen an
unprecedented number

of strange events and anomalies.

Recently some of the
most perplexing data

that we've collected
comes from work

that we've done with you, Jim.

Yep. And that is something
to definitely dig into.

ERIK: Recently, some of
the most perplexing data

that we've collected
comes from...

work that we've
done with you, Jim.

Uh, a lidar survey, of the area

right there at-at the triangle.

And there are features
showing up in the data

that I just don't understand.

Especially the reflectivity
aspect of the data

that's just really got us
all scratching our heads.

Yeah, so we have
I'd say one of the most

probably advanced
small lidar scanners

that we put on the drone.

It does upwards of
400,000 scans per second.

For this particular
instance, we said let's scan

as we're going
to launch a rocket.

Yep.

About a month ago,

Jim and his colleagues
from OmniTeq,

which all have
extensive government

intelligence backgrounds,
helped us scan the triangle

with an advanced lidar scanner

while we launched a rocket

up through the anomalous
zone above the triangle.

Three, two, one.

TRAVIS: Well, right at
that 31-foot blob level...

- BRYANT: We got a good chute.
- Oh, good chute.

TRAVIS: the lidar's
infrared lasers detected

the rocket passing
through and displacing

something we couldn't
see with the naked eye.

- Look at that.
- That's interesting.

TRAVIS: And then when
Jim further processed the data,

it showed a perfectly circular
formation at the triangle

with a black void
right in the center.

- What are we looking at?
- THOMAS: A black hole? (laughs)

Well, it could be a
shadow of a wormhole.

And that brings us to the data,

which is the most detailed,

scientifically
instrumented experiment

I think that we've done

with high-level
scientific equipment,

and that's the thing
that really excites me

about this particular
measurement.

So, this is one of the
most fascinating, uh,

pieces of data so far
in the nearly four years

that I've been coming
out to the ranch.

And-and so I'm really excited
about what we got from this.

Go on to the next slide, Erik.

So, here's the data.

This is straight from the lidar.

So, look at some
of this area here,

you can see, this is the
road that makes the triangle

and the triangle looks
about like-like this.

Right? Now, as you notice,
there's a-a black spot here.

So black is no
data returned at all.

That is a shadow of something

you would think, but of what?

How can there be
a spot right here

where the drone
is literally right here,

moving back and forth,
making this measurement.

Shining the laser at the ground,

the beam should hit the
ground, bounce off of the dirt

and come right
back up to the drone

and paint just like it
painted the rest of the area.

That should be filled in.

- Right.
- So it's really odd what that is.

Erik, uh, you can
go to the next one.

Now, if the lidar is
going, the rocket goes up,

what you should see is one line,

uh, getting painted
of the rocket going up

and that's what
we expected to see.

And so when we go
back and look at the data,

you see multiple paths

that look like you're
looking at the rocket

through a bunch of mirrors

and it creates an arc,

uh, that's kind of going
around this anomaly.

How could that be possible?

What are we seeing?

Something is bending the light,

making it think that
there are multiple rockets

being launched in
different locations.

And I got to thinking,

well, what on
earth could do that?

All right, next slide, Erik.

So, are we seeing a
wormhole? Or a portal?

Now, if it is a portal,
what would that look like?

Well, if you think
about the typical

Einstein-Rosen Bridge, that,
uh, uh, w-what a wormhole is

you have normal
space and there's a hole

literally in that,
that connects us

to another part of space
that moves through elsewhere.

And they're really
far apart but somehow

you connect them
through what looks like

two funnels stuck together
at the throats of each funnel,

and you would travel through
it, making the distance shorter.

So, there's a clear
anomaly in the lidar data.

There's something
strange going on.

- Completely unexplained.
- TRAVIS: Absolutely something strange.

Right.

Is it possible

that the strange void Jim
Royston and the OmniTeq team

detected with their lidar

really is an image of a
wormhole above the triangle?

Oh, we got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.

There's something in the sky
above the rocket, right here.

Could that explain the blob
that destroyed our rocket

earlier this year
about 31 feet in the air?

CLAYTON: Go for launch.

THOMAS: That is
a heck of payload.

- Wow.
- TRAVIS: Or the quarter second shift

in time that was recorded
nearly 10,000 feet high...

We did have some
clock anomalies.

TRAVIS: right where our
rocket disappeared last week.

We lost a quarter
second of time.

Oh, my goodness, a
quarter of a second is huge!

Nobody has ever measured any
anomaly like that on the planet.

Exactly.

TRAVIS: It came
right out of the mesa!

Does it also explain where
the UAPs we see come from?

What the hell was it?

TRAVIS: And why they sometimes

vanish into thin air?

Wow. This is stunning.

And finally, does it
prove the traditions

of the Indigenous
people of this area

who have believed
for generations

that there are
portals, or wormholes,

here on Skinwalker Ranch?

The visual representation
of what your scans

have picked up,
it's jaw-dropping.

But then you add on top of that,

the fact that we're seeing
UFO or UAP activity

within this region and airspace.

Yeah.

BRANDON: When you
start adding all of that up,

we're looking at
something that is...

game-changing, that will
rewrite history potentially

as-as it relates to our
understanding of the planet,

physics and really
the nature of reality.

That's right.

Well, here's the thing, we
have so much more to cover.

Right.

You know, we've been
talking about everything

that may be above the triangle

and what has been recorded.

The mesa continues
to be a main point

- of geographic interest on this property.
- Yep.

Let's talk about
what may be beneath.

Yeah.

BRANDON: The
mesa continues to be

a main point of geographic
interest on this property.

Let's talk about
what may be beneath.

- Sure.
- THOMAS: Well, Brandon,

we pulled the metal
out of the mesa last year

and that's really been
the elephant on the ranch.

What is sitting inside the mesa?

You know, w-we
had this dome object

that we hit up against
as we were trying

to drill in last year
and so, obviously

that was at the
forefront of our minds,

especially mine this year.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: Aside from the
crazy mystery of the triangle,

the mesa may also be a key to

getting answers about the
phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch.

(machinery whirring, grinding)

BRYANT: Boy, that thing
sounds like it's hitting something.

TRAVIS: Last year,
a drilling operation

scraped along the bottom
of what we believe to be

a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metallic object.

ERIK: What is that?

TRAVIS: It was
impossible to penetrate.

ERIK: What did you think
it was when you first saw it?

THOMAS: I wondered if it was
like metal flakes or something.

That's exactly the
same impression I got.

TRAVIS: But we did find
metal fragments in the spoils

such as europium, tellurium,
aluminum and selenium,

which are components of what
are known as metamaterials.

Now, this is interesting,
the color reminds

this individual of elemental
selenium deposits.

Selenium is an optical material

that-that's being used
in military experiments.

- Really?
- TRAVIS: Yes.

What makes this
particularly interesting

is that our own government
is currently experimenting

with these kinds of
metamaterials for applications

such as cloaking
technology for aircraft.

I'm really interested
in what you found, Jan.

- Absolutely.
- Yeah, I can't wait.

TRAVIS: And then this year,
we ran new state-of-the-art

ground-penetrating radar scans

that detected a second,
possibly metallic anomaly

positioned
vertically right behind

the dome-shaped object.

ERIK: What in the hell
are we looking at here?

It's hitting something
really hard and smooth.

TRAVIS: What in
the world is that?

This time, we tried
drilling into the top

of the dome-shaped anomaly,

and once again we
couldn't break through it.

But even more perplexing
was that after hours and hours

of grinding away on it, the
drill bit showed no damage,

as if this dome-shaped
thing is surrounded

by some kind of
frictionless force field.

Both times, when you
pulled the drill bit out,

it was in perfect condition.

We thought maybe
the bit was damaged,

but it-it was perfect condition.

- Wasn't even dull.
- No sign of wear on it.

- Mm.
- Is this thing inside the mesa frictionless?

Or have some barrier
on it that's frictionless?

Some special kind of lubricant?

- Some kind of super lubricant.
- Yeah.

So, we really don't
know what it is

that's inside the mesa.

We still have to figure
out a way to get in there.

But fortunately, the experiment

we did with Lunasonde,

the whole point of it
was not just to measure

the electric fields and the time
anomalies above the triangle.

They have this technology

that is a brand-new
sensor technology

that should be able to show us

maybe as much as three
miles deep below the ranch.

ERIK: So, I have Jeremiah
Pate queued up on video call,

and so I'd like to bring
him into this meeting

and have him walk us
through what his findings

have been from that survey that
was performed over the ranch.

Awesome. I can't
wait to see this.

BRANDON: Greetings,
Jeremiah. Thank you for joining.

Yeah, thank you, Brandon,
and hello everyone.

ERIK: Hey, Jeremiah.

JEREMIAH: So, we
managed to actually extract

some sub-surface data
from our balloon flight.

- Okay. I think we're good.
- Go for launch.

TRAVIS: Five weeks ago...

Jeremiah Pate and his
team from Lunasonde

performed a
low-frequency radar scan

70,000 feet above the ranch...

Fantastic.

TRAVIS: which is
actually what detected

possible evidence of a wormhole

some 10,000 feet
above the triangle.

However, the scan
was also designed

to collect data deep inside
the mesa and underground,

which Jeremiah needed a lot
more time to process and analyze.

So, we couldn't wait
to hear those results.

So, I have some
slides I can share.

Um, this is an actual
rudimentary image

of the subsurface,
uh, under the ranch.

Perfect. You've got
a room full of people

who are on the
edge of their seats

waiting to see what
you've discovered.

JEREMIAH: Absolutely.

So, here's a quick glance

at the actual
subsurface map here.

This image is actually

the underside of
part of the mesa.

Okay.

JEREMIAH: There were
a number of anomalies.

So, each of these
dots is color-coded

according to depth underground.

And so the purple
parts are much closer

to the surface, so those
tend to be in the range

of around ten meters
or so below surface level.

And the dots that are green

tend to be a bit
deeper, 15 to 20 meters.

And then the yellow dots
tend to be a little bit below that.

They seem quite out
of place geologically

would be the best way to put it.

So many anomalies
we saw underground

appear to be voids
beneath the surface.

It does not seem
to be consistent

with the surrounding geology.

These are fairly large targets.

How big would you suspect,
uh, some of these voids are?

So, these voids tend to be

in the, uh, tens of feet,
um, from what we've seen.

Whoa.

And they also seem to
be in a mostly linear form.

Wow.

JEREMIAH: This is a 2D rendering

as seen from above
what we saw underground

with the same
sort of color-coding.

It definitely seems like
a tunnel type of structure.

It's actually stretching
into the mesa itself.

- Wow.
- This really got our attention.

- Yeah.
- It's very, very, uh, interesting.

So, these structures right here,

some of these are in
the order of 60 feet wide.

- 60 feet...?
- As big as this room.

Jeremiah, what do
you conclude from this?

If you were to speculate
based on your expertise,

what are we looking at here?

The conclusion
this has all led me to

is some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.

JEREMIAH: The conclusion
this has all led me to

is some sort of tunnel.

And some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.

Wow. That is, uh,
really interesting.

Yeah.

JEREMIAH: So, it does
seem like the evidence

is very much in favor of

an artificial
explanation for this.

Yeah, absolutely.

This seems to be almost
tracing out an outline

of a much larger
structure within the mesa,

and indeed, under
the entire ranch.

BRANDON: In other words, it
appears that you have confirmed

that there is indeed
a very sophisticated

underground void or underground
tunnel system in the mesa.

That is correct.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Somebody has purposely
built these tunnels.

Yeah.

And for what
purpose would we see

this kind of
extraordinary system

embedded in this mesa?

And the mesa is ancient.

- Right.
- BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.

What have we stumbled on?

BRYANT: Yeah.

Is this something of
modern manufacture?

Or is this something ancient

that we are now revealing?

I mean, we've got to
take this to the next level,

and I think your efforts
are really going to help us

advance our
research and find out

what really lies beneath
this very unusual property.

Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

Yeah, it's my firm conviction

that the answers to the ranch

are not on the
ranch, but under it.

Well said.

This was stunning.
Jeremiah, thank you.

Please thank your team

and we look forward
to being in touch

to really escalate this,

and take whatever steps needed

in order to delve
into this even further.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Thanks, Jeremiah.

Amazing.

- I was not expecting that.
- No.

Well, as we talk
about next steps,

let's lower the shades

and, uh, and really discuss

what we need to
do moving forward,

in light of this really
revelatory data.

TRAVIS: You know, we don't know
how deep the things in the mesa go.

We don't even know
how to get to the things

that are 30 meters
away inside the mesa.

- I still favor the, um...
- TRAVIS: Less invasive?

The less invasive, exactly.

The surgical approach to
going into those structures.

We obviously don't
want to destroy

the very thing that
we're here to study.

BRANDON: Uh, there are a
lot of things that are compelling

that are going to need further
consideration and research.

There's a lot going on.

Yeah. We've seen, you know,
multiple compelling things.

- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.

Even if we get
answers at the triangle

and inside the mesa,

there are several more areas

across the 512
acres of the property

where truly bizarre
things also occur.

At Homestead Two, we've
documented UAPs, energy spikes

and we've even unearthed
metamaterials in the same area

similar to what we
found in the mesa.

In the east field,

we documented a thermal anomaly

right over a spiral of boulders

that is believed to
have been created

by Indigenous tribal
members centuries ago

in order to depict an
interdimensional portal.

And in the south field,

we've captured footage
of multiple UAPs,

including one in broad daylight.

And also found the mutilated
carcasses of dead animals

that died under very
mysterious circumstances.

Given the size and
scale of the property,

Jim, we're looking
forward to having you

engaged further and invite you

to give us some idea of
what you would recommend.

What are the next steps?

So, it's persistent
data collection.

We really need
to get sensors up.

We need to treat it like a
true operational environment

and then collect
data, you know, 24/7.

We're focusing on the triangle,

we see something
happening there,

but what's happening
down at the petroglyphs

at the same time?

You know, as we
bring these sensors on,

we can see where they are,

how they relate to each other

and then these
sensors will actually

start talking to each other.

So, the sensors,
instead of waiting

for one of us to go, "Oh,
go take a look over there,"

the sensors will
actually share data.

So, as we see a magnetic field

start moving across the ranch,

we'll all be able to look across

and we can visualize,
where did it start from?

Or if we see a
UAP, these sensors

will be smart enough to go,

"I saw something, turn
cameras in this direction."

And then all this data
will go into what we call

our Athena engine,
which is our AI engine,

and what that will
do is start aggregating

all this data in real time

and they'll start
being able to really

make sense out of this.

TRAVIS: We've documented
so many kinds of phenomena

over the last four years
on Skinwalker Ranch.

And even though we
are starting to suspect

some truly
incredible possibilities

for what causes them,

Jim Royston and his
colleagues at OmniTeq

believe they can outfit the
entire ranch with sensors

that will use
artificial intelligence

to help give us definitive
answers in the future.

You're familiar, of course, Jim,

with the fact that we have a lot
of separate measurement tools.

But the opportunity
to put those into

an always-online mode

and always bring in
the data and the capacity

to actually deal with
all those data streams,

is something that we
haven't had until just now.

You're bringing the
ability to process, filter,

and taking a lot of that
load off of, frankly, me.

So having all of
that come through

an artificial intelligence
machine-learning system

is going to be
extremely enabling.

So, I imagine that
the rate at which

we are making discoveries
is about to accelerate.

JIM: Absolutely.

ERIK: So, I imagine
that the rate at which

we are making discoveries

- is about to accelerate.
- Yeah.

JIM: Absolutely. It's
really understanding

the-the operational
environment, right?

- Defining that.
- Yeah.

ERIK: I'm very optimistic
about the collaboration

opportunity with OmniTeq.

This is a group of individuals

with military
intelligence experience.

They have remarkable
technologies at their disposal,

which should help us to discern

any interesting
correlations or patterns

in what is otherwise a
very complex data set

here at the ranch.

So, if we're going to define
an operational environment,

it's got to be a
secure environment.

As part of that security suite,

we will be integrating
seismic sensors.

So, whether you're a
rabbit or you're a mule deer

or you're walking on two
legs, whether you're running,

crawling, we'll be
able to identify it,

where it is and what's going on.

Great.

We are evolving towards
a long-standing vision.

If we do have something
that's modifying space-time

as we've speculated,
we should be able

to see more than one
thing changing in correlation.

Even if it's some exotic
natural phenomenon.

We should be able
to better understand it

by putting that system in place,
putting that network in place

and letting Athena do its job.

Absolutely.

BRYANT: And you
know what, frankly,

I'll be curious to
see, no offense...

(laughs) how much the ranch

messes with your high-tech
equipment, because...

We've seen a little already.

(laughter)

BRYANT: It almost feels like

if the ranch doesn't want
you to collect something,

you're not going to do
it. I know it sounds crazy.

It goes back to what Travis said

the very first time
he met with us,

"Well, it's just
a place, right?"

Maybe not.

(Jim chuckles)

BRANDON: Well, very good.

We're excited and
really appreciate

all that you're
bringing to the ranch.

It's exciting to be part
of it, so I appreciate that.

The data that we're collecting
and the things that I'm seeing,

on steroids from my, uh, first
time stepping on this ranch.

You've got a great team
of good people here.

Everything you've been
doing is data-driven.

The data will drive
us to the conclusion.

So, keep me posted,

I-I want to stay involved
as much as I can.

The-the answers are
starting to come our way.

You know, we often speak
of-of, uh, every investigation

as just raising more questions.

I actually feel like I'm
starting to get some answers.

I truly do believe that what
we are really revealing here

at Skinwalker Ranch is not
just about Skinwalker Ranch,

but it is about the very
nature of our reality.

This is a sobering effort

but it is truly exciting

and thank you all for engaging

and being part of
this incredible journey.

So, we'll proceed
with all resource.

All right, thanks.

Look forward to moving
ahead, gentlemen.

Thanks, Brandon.

- Governor, thank you.
- Thank you.

BRANDON: Absolutely.

THOMAS: The things we captured
this year are beyond phenomenal.

I'm super excited and optimistic

that Skinwalker Ranch ultimately

may be the place
where we start unlocking

some of the mysteries
of the world around us.

There are big things
coming for Skinwalker Ranch.

We're just getting started.

ERIK: What we're witnessing
is classically impossible,

but that's dang fascinating.

This year we have
seen many things

that are very hard
for us to explain.

We don't know what
we've witnessed.

So, I find this tantalizing.

We've heard that the
ranch is an intelligent entity,

that it's home to a
secret underground base

and that it might even be a
gateway to other dimensions.

Well, we've documented
scientific evidence

that supports each
one of these legends.

All I know is that in
order to find the truth,

we have a lot more work to do.

BRANDON: Our investigation
at Skinwalker Ranch

attests to the reality of
not only the phenomena,

but the fact that we
are on to something.

We are dealing
with powerful forces,

unknown forces.

And we are finally
on the precipice

of getting the very answers

that we've been seeking
for years.
