06x08 - Swarm Weather

[bunniefuu]

- TRAVIS: So, what's up?
- CHRIS: They're coming up

with some green jelly.

TRAVIS:
Does look like

what we've seen before,
don't it?

This looks exactly like
what we pulled out.

TRAVIS:
What the hell is in that mesa?

THOMAS:
Lasers are up.

TRAVIS:
Rocket is launching.

- [beeping] -Oh!
- What's beeping?

TRAVIS: Oh, my God, we're
getting huge gamma rays.

- Everybody, out now!
- Hey, guys! It's going off!

TRAVIS: It's going...
No, everybody out now!

ROYSTON: I'm just hitting

the bubble barrier to the south.

KALEB: Dude, it looks like

you just flew through something.

What?

TRAVIS: What is that

in the blue beam there?

- Look at the shape.
- There's a cube right there.

KALEB: Like a cube
or a square object.

- This is fascinating.
- I'm in a state of bewilderment.

NARRATOR: There is
a ranch in Northern Utah.

It is considered the epicenter

of the strangest and most
disturbing occurrences on Earth.

For two decades,

the federal government

investigated the property.

Their findings have
never been made public.

TRAVIS: Right there!
We got something!

NARRATOR: Now a new team

of independent
scientists and researchers

are taking over.

They are uncovering evidence

that the countless stories...

It came right out of the mesa.

Of unidentified
aerial phenomena...

- UAP right there!
- KALEB: Yep.

Bizarre energies...

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

And portals that lead
to other dimensions...

We're maybe
looking at the anomaly

for the first time, guys.

Might actually be true.

They will stop at
nothing to reveal...

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.

All right, rotating
to wake it up.

KYLE: Copy.

TRAVIS: So far this year,
our team has experienced

more unexplainable
things on Skinwalker Ranch

than ever before.

And one of the biggest mysteries
we're determined to figure out

is what's buried
inside the mesa.

I'm gonna have you
keep corkscrewing.



TRAVIS: All the
data we've collected

through ground-penetrating
radar and our drilling suggests

that there's a


and a bunch of smaller
unidentified things

buried inside there.

Right now, we're drilling
our second borehole,

which is positioned to
the west of the large object.

And once Borehole


we're gonna use a multitude of
cutting-edge scanning devices

to see if we can determine
what these things actually are.

All right, so, uh,

what depth are we at
right now into the mesa?

We're at 188 feet.

Okay.

Hey, guys, this is Thomas.

We're getting close to
that anomalous zone.

Copy that. Just keep us posted.

While drilling Borehole 1,

we detected a bunch of
strange radio frequency signals,

especially when we
got to the 200-foot mark.

Some of that even seemed
to come from inside the mesa.

So we're using spectrum
analyzers to look out

for anything weird
as we drill Borehole 2.

KYLE: It's kind of weird
with the beacon battery.

It just fluctuated down

- to 25% battery.
- Huh.

It's only been on
for a few hours.

This should be at 80% or 90%.

I don't know what
to think about that.

KYLE: It shouldn't be going
through battery that fast.

THOMAS: Yeah,
that is interesting.

Hey, guys, this is Thomas.

You guys have a copy
down there at the tent?

Yeah, Thomas. Go ahead.

We're 188 feet into the mesa.

At this point, we've only
been drilling a couple hours.

But the battery indicator
is down below 50%.

Yeah, that's really interesting.

So far, there's
nothing really exciting

on any of the frequencies,

but I'll keep a watch.

THOMAS: This
battery is brand-new.

And in less than three hours,
we see rapid battery depletion.

There's something
about this spot.

I don't know what
to think about it.

ALLAN: Hey, Kyle and Thomas.

The guys are ready
to dump the spoils

- whenever you guys are.
- THOMAS: Copy that.

TRAVIS: Some of our
most stunning evidence

of what could be buried
inside the mesa has been found

in the drilling spoils that came
from both of these boreholes.

- What do we got here?
- Uh, this is 188 into the mesa.

- Okay.
- TRAVIS: We've found

weird stuff like
manufactured metal fragments

that are similar to what
NASA and SpaceX use

to protect the
outside of spacecraft.

I don't know what
to say about that yet

except that it really
makes you wonder.

Is that, uh...

CHRIS: It might be.

Here's more of that green jelly.

THOMAS: Whoa!

As we're sifting
through the spoils

that have come from
about 180 feet into the mesa,

we came across some green
jelly that really looks similar

to what we found last year,

as well as last week.

The fact that we're finding this
green jelly from both boreholes

makes me think that
there's something large

that's spanning across
the face of this mesa.

And last year, we had
the green jelly analyzed

and learned that it had
charred material in it,

which means there
was some kind of fire

or maybe an expl*si*n
inside the mesa.

Who knows what else
we'll find in this spoils pit?

CHRIS: See that?

- Interesting.
- I agree.

- So this is a pretty good sample of gypsum.
- Oh, wow.

All the way across, and then
you've also got the iron oxide

all the way across.

CHRIS: Melded together.

Pretty dark red
right in there, so...

THOMAS: That's a great sample.

That almost looks
like rusted metal.

That's really, uh, interesting.

Do you have a
copy over at the tent?

Yeah, Thomas. Go ahead.

I'm over here at the spoils
pit with Chris Roberts.

He got a really nice, clean,

large sample of that green jelly

that's coming out of about
that 185-, 188-foot mark.

- TRAVIS: More green jelly.
- Yeah.

In addition, he found
gypsum with a lot of iron on it.

CHRIS: Layered rust.

THOMAS: It looks like

layered rust.

We're seeing more
of it as we get closer

to that 200-foot mark.

Wow. That's interesting.

Iron oxide can occur anywhere

that you have iron,
air and moisture.

It's simply what we call rust.

And it's very likely
that a porous rock

coming into prolonged contact

with some rusted metal object

would absorb the
iron oxide into it,

just like a sponge
soaks up water.

So, is the object buried
inside the mesa made of metal?

And if so, did it
generate the iron oxide

that we found on this rock?

I'm gonna go check
back in with the guys

- and-and see how it's going.
- Sounds good.

Okay. Thanks, Chris.

That's-that's weird.

Huh.

Looks like we're getting the


- That just start?
- Yep.

ROYSTON: It's getting
close into that 200-foot level.

TRAVIS: Yep. Sam,
are you getting it?

SAM: No, but I'm seeing the 1.6.

TRAVIS: What?

After what we found
in the drilling spoils,

it was really freaky
when we started detecting

both 1.2 and 1.6
gigahertz signals.

Earlier this year,
Erik broadcast

a 1.2 gigahertz signal

because we had never seen
one at that frequency on the ranch,

and he wanted to monitor it

for strange interference
during an experiment.

This is the other


It's strong.

But then something on the ranch

started broadcasting an
identical signal back at us,

and we've repeatedly
detected it ever since.

And the 1.6 gigahertz
signal is bizarre

because that's a frequency
that the military uses

for communication with
satellites and spacecraft

up in orbit.

So, what is broadcasting
these signals now on the ranch

and right as the drill
approaches that 200-foot mark

inside the mesa?

And could that be
the massive object

we think is buried in there?

KYLE: We're right at that


TRAVIS: Wow.

If they're getting that close,

I probably should look
at the beacon frequency.

'Cause last time,
when they hit that spot,

the beacon frequency spread out.

KALEB: Started
doing all that weird...

- stuff.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, this is their
beacon signal right here.

I'm seeing it stronger
than I have all day.

I wonder why.

Another strange thing that
happened at the 200-foot spot...

when we drilled
Borehole 1 last year,

the drilling beacon's signal
suddenly went totally haywire

and made it almost
impossible for the drillers

to track the location of
the drill bit in the mesa.

It's like whatever
is buried in there

is trying to stop us from
advancing beyond that point.

It made us all wonder
what might happen next.

[mooing]

THOMAS: Something's
got the cows all stirred up.

They're running around.

Does make me wonder.

TRAVIS: We were all on edge

when the cattle in the
nearby field got spooked.

- [mooing]
- Because last year,

when we got to this
same spot in Borehole 1,

a calf suddenly
became really sick

from a huge radiation spike,

and we had to remove it
from the ranch so it could heal.

[mooing]

SAM: Hey, I've got

the radiation sensor
at the south tower

reporting to us
elevated radiation levels.

TRAVIS: Well, that's not good.

Just when the drill reached
nearly 200 feet inside

of Borehole 2 at the mesa,

we detected a bunch of
strange radio frequency signals.

-[mooing] -But then something
spooked the cows in the nearby field

right when Sam started
detecting high levels of radiation

from his sensors
positioned in the south field.

I haven't seen a
radiation signal all day.

And then they hit this
spot wherever they are,

about ten feet short of
that 200, and the signal's

going through the roof.

So, uh, I don't understand that.

- Why-why now?
- Yeah.

Well, we're getting pretty
close at this point, so...

TRAVIS: Yeah, look
how strong the beacon is.

ROYSTON: Oh, yeah.

This looks like we're
maybe hitting that anomaly

inside the mesa.

Mm.

Could Kaleb be right
that the drill may be hitting

one of the believed metallic
objects inside the mesa

and it triggered all these
freaky things to happen?

But if so, what in the
heck could do that?

Look at how the
wind's picking up.

[bleep]

Whoa.

Yeah, we're gonna
destroy our stuff, y'all.

Holy crap. That's strong.

Yeah, it's strong.

This thing's gonna take off.

Man, look at this.

This is crazy. We
got to break this down.

- Yeah.
- I can't even see, man.

We're-we're gonna get our
stuff destroyed if we don't.

We either break it
down or we break it.

Yeah. I say we
break it down. Yeah.

It's coming quick.

TRAVIS: It was literally
like a perfect storm of crazy.

I don't think we're
ready to start speculating

that the weather is conspiring
with buried metal objects

in the mesa to shut us down.

At least not yet.

But it did the trick today.

No matter what,
we're not giving up

until we figure out
what's inside that mesa.

THOMAS: We're close
enough. We're gonna hit it

- as soon as we start back up.
- TRAVIS: Yep. -Yep.

ERIK: Hey, Preston.

- PRESTON: What's up, guys?
- How you doing?

- Hey, fellas.
- Welcome back.

TRAVIS: The next day,
as the drilling operation

at the mesa continued, we
welcomed back our friends

Pete Kelsey, as well as
Preston Ward and his team

from a drone light show
company called Sky Elements

to once again
help us investigate

another gigantic mystery,

an invisible bubble
that we've detected

with multiple lidar devices

that covers a huge
area of the ranch

both above and belowground.

Its epicenter is
at the triangle,

and it has a radius
of about 2,000 feet.

So that means it
contains a lot of the areas

where we've documented
tons of phenomena,

like UAPs and strange
radio frequency signals.

Since you were here, we
have done multiple experiments

of a phenomenon
that we've measured.

We're calling it the bubble.

And we've measured
now, repeatedly,

that there's something
about the bubble barrier

that affects almost
every instrument

we've used to study it.

During numerous
experiments this year,

including one with Sky Elements,

we've had crazy
equipment malfunctions

inside of the bubble
where something corrupts

the GPS trackers in our devices

and prevents them
from collecting data

above the center
of the triangle.

In other experiments,

the bubble barrier has
seemed to stop our rockets

and lidar-equipped
drones from going inside it.

And last week,
during an experiment

where we set up a bunch of
high-powered laser cannons,

both inside and outside
of the bubble's barriers,

something caused them all to
experience strange malfunctions.

I just lost the, uh,
hardwired lasers at the ARC.

TRAVIS: So what
we want to figure out

is if the bubble
might be related to

all the strange things
we see both inside

and outside of its barriers.

Or are there multiple phenomena
that we need to identify?

Why don't you step us
through maybe what, uh...

- what you've come up with.
- PRESTON: Sure.

So we're gonna set up


and 100 drones
in the east field,

each doing a cylinder formation.

And we're gonna trigger
those at the same time.

We're also gonna have


drones at each location

as well, so we'll trigger the
pyrotechnics at the same time.

TRAVIS: For
tonight's experiment,

the plan will start by launching

the two illuminated
swarms simultaneously,

each made up of 100 drones.

One will be at the triangle,

which is at the dead
center of the bubble,

and the other will
be in the east field,

several yards outside
of the bubble's barrier.

The first test of the
experiment will be to see

if both swarms will
launch at the same time

and form perfect cylinders like
they're preprogrammed to do.

Or will something prevent
that and mess up their timing?

PRESTON: Each location
will have its own master clock.

Okay. That's important to know.

You've got a master
clock inside the bubble

at the triangle
and a master clock

- outside the bubble in the east canyon.
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: Each drone swarm

is linked to a base station
with its own master clock.

And those base stations are
linked to satellites in space

that keep the timing of
the drone swarm launches

and formations in perfect sync.

So if-if the bubble

is causing delays
in time s-signals,

like, uh, we see GPS go
crazy in there all the time,

I mean, we'll know.

PRESTON: Absolutely.

TRAVIS: During the experiment,

Pete Kelsey and Kaleb will
be stationed near the triangle,

operating SLAM and
terrestrial laser lidar devices,

looking for any anomalies
inside the bubble

that might be invisible
to the naked eye.

After the pyro, as soon
as the pyro is-is done,

we'll launch rockets
simultaneously

at both ends
through the cylinders.

So, uh, we'll just have it ready

- and just hit it, you know?
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: Once both drone
swarms are in position,

Sky Elements will ignite
the pyrotechnics on them.

This will fill the
air with smoke

and hopefully confirm the
dimensions of the bubble.

Who knows? Maybe they'll also

stimulate possible
aerial phenomena

at both locations to appear.

And, finally,

we'll be firing rockets
up through the center

of both swarms in
hopes of making contact

with anything strange
that isn't visible.

THOMAS: Let's not forget, guys,

that, uh, during this exercise,

we have drilling taking place.

They're gonna be
over there working

while we're doing
this experiment.

We-We've got the drill
penetrating the mesa

while we're poking the sky.

- So who knows what we'll see?
- Yeah.

ERIK: Well, guys, I-I
think we've got a plan.

I say we get this show on
the road, get-get working.

- All right. Let's go.
- All right.

[insects trilling]

SAM: So, the first row's good,
'cause that's zero through ten.

Yeah.

All right, last thing
and then ready.

Ready to go.

Hey, Alex, this is
Thomas. Do you copy?

Yeah, I copy you, Thomas.

We're gonna start
the experiment soon.



Hey, guys.

- Hey. -Hey.
- Got a drone for you.

Very good. All right, I'm
gonna attach this guy.

Each drone will be logging
its GPS position internally.

As a secondary witness
to that, I'll be attaching

an independent GPS
tracking system in the east field

so that I can watch the progress

of one of the 100
drones in real time.

Looks good.

- We'll see how she flies.
- All right. -All right.

ERIK: We've been
observing GPS tracker issues

in many of our experiments,

and we are all very curious
to see if we get similar results.

Travis, look at this.

My GPS tracking
unit has gone to,

I want to say,


- TRAVIS: Already? Just sitting here?
- Just sitting on the ground.

So we're off to a
strange start so far.

Yeah.

ERIK: My GPS tracking unit

has gone to...



Just sitting on the ground.

So we're off to a
strange start so far.

TRAVIS: Yeah.

This was a hell of a
start to the experiment.

Erik's GPS device was on a drone

outside the bubble,
on the ground.

Something made it think
it was 800 feet in the air.

What would cause that
outside of the bubble?

Clearly, there's something
worth investigating over here.

Hey, Matt, you want
to see something weird?

- Yeah.
- In exactly five-second intervals,

it gives me a
warning on GPS time.

MATT: Does that
mean just one drone

- is reporting GPS errors?
- No. No.

This is from the base station.

Like, I-I've never
seen a timing dropout.

Yeah.

So, tonight, I was noticing an
issue with our GPS base station,

where every five seconds

and exactly at the
five-second interval,

it would briefly
lose its GPS time.

GPS time is transmitted to
the drones by the base stations,

which are synced to
the satellites in space

so that all the drones
can fly together in unison.

If the GPS time
goes out of sync,

the drones could
run into each other.

I'm gonna check
the east field, too.

- There it is.
- No way, dude.

PRESTON: But this
dropout is behind.

Look. There's the triangle.

And there's the east
field. Two seconds later.

MATT: Why is there
a two-second delay?

PRESTON: It makes no sense.

Thomas?

Yes. Go ahead.

We just noticed
that the base stations

are losing connection
with the satellite GPS time

every five seconds.

But the weird thing is

the east field is two
seconds behind the triangle.

- I would have expected the opposite.
- Opposite.

'Cause we're inside the bubble.

- Right.
- Wow.

How about that?

ERIK: Copy that.

Hey, that's very interesting.

Definitely got something
going on tonight.

THOMAS: Copy you, Erik.

TRAVIS: This is exactly what
we wondered might happen

with the drone swarms'

base stations and master clocks.

They're connected
to satellites in space

that should keep them in sync.

So what's causing the
swarms' master clocks

to be off by two seconds
here on the ranch?

This makes no sense.

Is the bubble causing this?

Or could it be something else
that just made Erik's GPS device

in the east field go haywire?

Yeah, looks like it won't
affect the experiment.

TRAVIS: Look at this.

Now I'm detecting another


- You seeing this?
- Yes.

TRAVIS: A strong
peak at 1.2 gigahertz.

ERIK: Yep.

- It looks like a language.
- Yeah.

[stammers] Right.

It looks a lot like a
communication signal.

The 1.2 gigahertz signal we
detected was spiking like crazy,

and it looked a lot like
a communication signal.

But who or what
was communicating?

And just what the
heck was the message?

ERIK: I want to know where
this signal is coming from.

Can we track it?

Well, the antenna is on
a rotational, so let's see

if we can turn the
antenna to find it.

Can you press that button?

- This one here?
- Yeah.

All right.

- Pressing.
- Just hold it

and we'll see if it
gets stronger or less.

ERIK: Okay, that's pointed back

- towards us now.
- Okay, then.

Uh, just lost it.

Now it's reversing direction.

It's coming back
towards the east.

TRAVIS: Okay, it's back now.

So if you tell me
when to release,

I'll-I'll, uh, let go of it.

- TRAVIS: Right there.
- Okay.

Where's it pointed?

Right at the mesa. Right
at the dadgum in point.

As we rotated the
antenna to track where

the 1.2 gigahertz
signal was coming from,

it was at its strongest level
when the antenna was pointed

directly at the spot on the
mesa that we call the in point.

Two years ago, that's
where we captured video

here in the east field
of a UAP flying into

and then out of the mesa

before disappearing
from sight near the triangle.

Now we know that the triangle
is at the center of the bubble.

So, what in the world
could have broadcast

that 1.2 gigahertz signal at us

from the same spot
inside the mesa?

And is it connected
to the bubble?

TRAVIS: Real
bright light going up.

Right there.

Due north, due north.

We do have something
that has made a turn.

It's not a satellite.
It's not an airplane.

It's just above the horizon.

You guys got your
eyes to the north.

Look and see if you can see it.

Light going up, huh?

TRAVIS: It literally
just vanished.

All right, well, if
you're set here,

I'm gonna head back
to the command center

so we can start this experiment.

- All right, man, good luck.
- All right.

TRAVIS: Hey,
Thomas, do you copy?

Loud and clear.

The ranch is doing something.

It's really odd.

Erik's running back to
the command center.

I think we need to get the
experiment going right away.

Could you let me know, uh,
if, uh, Pete Kelsey is ready

to get his drone in the air?

- I can be ready.
- He can be ready.

Hey, Javier, this is Travis.

Do you have an ETA on when
you guys are gonna be ready?

We are ready when you are.

TRAVIS: So you're good to
go with the experiment, Erik?

That's affirmative. Good to go.

All right, we are good to go.

Drones are armed and
ten seconds to launch.

TRAVIS: Everybody, we are
good to go with the experiment.

We are good to go
with the experiment.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Five, four, three,

two, one.

Drones launching.

TRAVIS: Drones are going up.

Everybody, get
ready at your stations,

ready to launch the rockets.

THOMAS: Hundred
drones in the air, east field.

PRESTON: All 100 drones
are in the air in the triangle.

Everything looks
locked and solid.

Yeah, all the drones are up.

Heck yeah!

TRAVIS: Drones
are forming a cylinder

here in the east canyon.

All of them are up.

After all the strange
equipment glitches

and seeing a UAP before
our experiment even started,

we were relieved

when both drone swarms
launched as planned.

One was inside the
bubble at the triangle,

and the other outside
of it in the east field.

SAM: That's pretty cool.

Taking off.

TRAVIS: So, once the drone
swarms made their cylinder formations,

Brian Woodward's FPV drone
looked for any more phenomena

around the swarm
in the east field...

ROYSTON: Okay, I'm going up.

TRAVIS: as Jim
Royston's lidar drone

scanned that area
outside the bubble.

And meanwhile, Pete Kelsey used

his thermal drone
to scan the swarm...

PETE: Taking off.

TRAVIS: inside the bubble

at the triangle.

PETE: That looks really cool.

Fire pyro in

three, two, one, go.

TRAVIS: Here goes the pyro!

The pyrotechnics on both
swarms worked perfectly.

They were filling the area
around the drone swarms

with sparks and smoke,

which we hoped might help
us see invisible phenomena

inside and outside
of the bubble.

Oh, look at that.

All right, Thomas, get
ready for the rocket launch!

Copy that.

TRAVIS: So, to try and stimulate

more invisible phenomena
inside of the drone swarms,

Thomas and I prepared to
launch rockets up through them.

We wanted to see if the
rockets would make contact

with anything strange

and reveal just what
we might be dealing with.

I'm going to go in five, four,

three, two, one.

We had a beautiful launch
over here in the triangle.

TRAVIS: That should've launched.

Why did that not launch?

Son of a...

We were assuming that more
phenomena would happen

with the swarm in the bubble
than the one in the east field.

So, I was stunned when
Thomas's rocket flew

straight up and hit nothing
while mine didn't even launch.

Everything's fine. It
ain't getting power.

So, is it possible that
the bubble caused

something strange to happen

outside of its barrier
in the east field?

Nope, it will not go.

This battery is
bust... it's gone.

Son of a g*n.

Hey, Travis, what's your
status on that launch attempt?

TRAVIS: We have a rocket
malfunction. We have a rocket malfunction.

Something has
zapped this battery

completely dead.

How much time have I got
before the cylinder leaves?

[bleep] The battery.

[frustrated groan]

I'm gonna try something.

Suddenly, I thought

if something up in the drone
swarm made the battery

in my ignitor die,
I needed to use

the power in my jeep to
get this rocket launched

and see if we could
find out what it was.

They're coming back.

Son of a...

We completely missed it.

Perfect igniter.

Nothing wrong.

It's like something's
just keeping it from going.

What in the crap?

I had tested that
rocket launcher.

So, the fact that I couldn't
get a rocket launched

before the drone swarm
formation came down

confused the heck out of me

because I was in the east
field, not inside the bubble.

So, did something in
the east field jam it?

And if that's the
case, what was it?

PRESTON: All drones
are down in the triangle

safely and correctly.

JAVIER: All 100 drones are down

in the east field
safely and correctly.

Hey, our drones are all down,

but something prevented
my rocket from launching.

Copy that.

That's interesting
that he couldn't

- get that rocket to launch.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: Preston, do you copy?

Hey, Travis. This is Preston.

Let's, uh, prepare
as fast we can

to get the next-next
setup going.

Copy that. We'll get it going.

[sighs]

TRAVIS: I was both ticked off

and really determined

to repeat the drone
swarm experiment

to see if I could get
a rocket launched

up through the
swarm in the east field.

Hey, Travis, the drones are
ready to launch in the triangle.

TRAVIS: Copy that.

East field drones are armed.

Standing by ready at
the command center.

JAVIER: 30 seconds to launch.

TRAVIS: The initial failure
may have just been a glitch.

But Erik and I needed to be sure

before we gave up on
trying to reveal something

that might explain the weird
phenomena we keep experiencing.

JAVIER: Ten seconds to launch.

It'll start spinning.

Yeah. Going.

We are scanning.

BRIAN: Here we go.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

TRAVIS: We got drones
going up in the east canyon.

THOMAS: Drones
going up in the triangle.

Okay, taking off.

PRESTON: 100
drones up in the triangle.

Everything looks
locked and solid.

JAVIER: 100 drones
up in the east field.

TRAVIS: Looks like the cylinder's
forming down here at the east.

Okay, I'm ready to
do the rocket launch.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

Nothing.

Once again, we have
a rocket launch failure.

Rocket launch failure.

Failed to launch again.

You've got to be kidding me.

Wow.

TRAVIS: What in the actual hell?

Are you kidding me?

TRAVIS: Once again, we
have a rocket launch failure.

Are you kidding me?

[panting]

Let's try it again.

Five, four,

three, two,

one.

THOMAS: Wow.

[Travis sighs]

Come on, chute.

At least it went.

- Looks like it's raining real good.
- [rain falling]

It's raining pretty good
over here in the triangle.

All right, copy that.

Uh, rain's picking up.

This is crazy.

Drones landing.

TRAVIS: Man, I finally
get a launch to go,

- and then it starts raining.
- [thunder rumbling]

Pouring.

I'm still not ready to go there
about the weather on the ranch,

but it seemed
like a definite sign

that it was time to
end the experiment.

- Interesting night, fellas.
- [sighs]

- Very eventful.
- Right?

TRAVIS: Erik, I
think we got a lot of

really interesting
phenomena observed tonight,

and I'm hoping that
there's a lot of data

that's coinciding with it.

AKA a lot of homework for me.

Well, I say we pack
up and call it a night.

- Sounds good.
- All right. -Let's do it.

- Nice job.
- Nice job, guys.

TRAVIS: Great, guys.
Good work, everybody.

ERIK: Hey, Preston, Brian, Pete,

thanks for jumping on with us.

Hey, thanks for having us.

TRAVIS: A couple days after

our drone experiment,

Erik, Pete Kelsey and the
team from Sky Elements

were all ready to review
their processed data.

So, you know, right away,
Preston, I'd just like to review

the timing errors

between the two swarms...
the one over the triangle

and the east field canyon.

PRESTON: Sure.

We noticed in between
the two swarms

that we were getting

a time error, where our base
station would lose accuracy,

glitch and then come right back.

And what was very interesting is

that the east field was
two seconds delayed

from us in the triangle,

- which was very unusual.
- Huh.

Everything should
be exactly identical

between the two sites.

TRAVIS: Think about
what you're saying, though.

A two-second delay in
GPS, only a half a mile apart...

They shouldn't have a
two-second d-difference

on either side of the globe.

- Right.
- ERIK: You know, I'll put this out there.

I know this has probably
occurred to all of us, you know,

but does this have something
to do with the bubble?

You know, because one
swarm is inside the bubble,

centered on it essentially,

and the other is well
outside of it in the east field.

It's possible that this
experiment's revealing

some potential new
phenomenon related to the bubble.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: The two-second delay

being experienced by

the drone swarm that was
in the east field is huge,

because its master clock
was linked to satellites in space.

So, there should have been
no way for it to be out of sync

with the swarm at the triangle.

What could have
caused that? The bubble?

Something in the east field?

Or both?

We got to get to
the bottom of this.

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

TRAVIS: Brian, what
about the FPV drone?

Any anomalies that you noticed,

or did everything
work just fine?

Uh, for the most part,
it was working just fine.

I did lose brief signal,
uh, a couple times.

Basically, it would just glitch

and then it would freeze
frame for about half a second.

Um, and then, and then
video would come back.

- Hmm.
- TRAVIS: And what's

the-the max range
on your system?

Um, it can get up to,
like, a couple miles.

- Oh, wow.
- TRAVIS: So, you were never

- more than a couple hundred meters away.
- BRIAN: No.

It shouldn't be losing
signal like that so close.

- TRAVIS: No.
- Where did that occur, Brian?

- He was down at the east field.
- Okay.

And we kept having
issues with the rocket.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: We were really hoping

to get a lot more
data on the bubble,

where we've seen
many crazy phenomena.

So, it was surprising that
most of the strange happenings

during this experiment
took place in the east field.

So, Pete, did you see anything

with, uh, any of
your instruments

on the inside of the bubble?

Yeah, yeah. So, I can
show you what I have.

So, this is one of the SLAM
scans from the triangle,

and this is the second flight.

I mean, these
drones are locked in.

I mean, it looks great.

SAM: I mean, that's really cool.

But this I had to think
about for a little bit.

Here it is.

Whoa.

- Look at that.
- That's interesting.

Yeah.

TRAVIS: So, what in the
world are we looking at, Pete?

TRAVIS: What in the world
are we looking at, Pete?

PETE: You can see all this
blue on the ground at the triangle.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, wow.

TRAVIS: Just when we
thought nothing really strange

happened in the bubble
during our drone experiment,

Pete Kelsey's lidar scanner
at the triangle captured

something that we
had never seen before.

- Didn't it start to rain?
- TRAVIS: Yeah.

- Yes.
- Yes.

TRAVIS: But the really
interesting thing to me is

you're getting a return on
the drones 300 feet high.

Why are you not getting a
return on the rain 300 feet high?

ERIK: Exactly.

I don't think this
is rain just yet.

So, what is all of
that if it's not rain?

- That's a good question.
- Right.

ERIK: I don't know what this is,

but I take the position that

we have an interesting
feature in the data.

These are obviously
very strange readings

we're looking at in the
center of the bubble.

So, I've got one more
thing. Let me bring it up.

- TRAVIS: Oh, it's a...
- Time-lapse.

Time-lapse. Okay.

Yeah, this is one of the
cameras that's placed

down there to the south,
looking towards the north.

- TRAVIS: Got it.
- Let's watch in this region.

- TRAVIS: There it is. I saw it.
- [excited murmuring]

- THOMAS: What was that?
- Yeah, I saw it.

Let's go back and take
a look at that frame.

THOMAS: Wow.

ERIK: This is one frame
in a time-lapse video.

We just happened to
catch this, whatever it is.

- It means it's moving pretty fast.
- Yes.

TRAVIS: This is why
Erik always records

our experiments with multiple
types of surveillance cameras.

We did see one UAP
during the experiment,

but this was something
completely different

and even looked like it
could be a craft of some kind.

So what was it?

- Can you zoom in on it?
- Yeah.

- Wow, look at that.
- Check that out.

KALEB: Whoa.

ERIK: What do you
guys make of that?

There's something to it.

That looks like it's
going, uh, hypersonic.

Whatever this bright UAP was,

it appeared to be flying
several thousand miles per hour,

and then it just disappeared.

When we capture data like this,

it sparks all
kinds of questions.

Was it related to the bubble
or our equipment failures?

And was it the source
of the communication-like


that came from the mesa?

Wow.

We haven't seen
that here before.

ERIK: Well, guys,
this review has been

exactly what I was hoping for.

I look forward to the follow-up.

You know, we're
gonna have to decide

exactly what form
that's gonna take.

- Thanks, guys.
- PRESTON: See you, guys.

- ERIK: We will be in touch.
- TRAVIS: See y'all.

What do we do next phase?

- It-it warrants follow-up.
- KALEB: Yeah.

TRAVIS: It looks a
lot like the triangle

and the east field are
connected to each other, but why?

'Cause the east field
is outside the bubble.

ERIK: Yeah. There
could be more to it.

So, let's look into that

and see if we can find some
more evidence and more information

- about those connections.
- Yeah.

ERIK: And we're gonna
keep exploring this bubble

and the east field.

TRAVIS: Yes, absolutely.

ERIK: The bubble may
be somehow responding

and disrupting the
electromagnetic signals

that actually provide location
information for our GPS sensors

and all the other things that
are operative on the ranch.

Raising the question:

Why does it happen in some
locations more than others?

Have we inadvertently
activated something?

And if so, how is that possible?

It remains to be
seen whether this is

a true cause-and-effect
relationship.

BRANDON: We continue to
prove that there is more to our reality

than meets the eye.

I truly believe that
our investigation

of Skinwalker Ranch

is the most important
scientific endeavor of our time.

TRAVIS: I don't know if the
ultimate answers to this place

are gonna be found
deep in the mesa

or in the bubble or some
other hot spot on the property,

but the phenomena
we're documenting

in every single experiment we do

tells me one thing for sure:

We need to keep looking

at all the above and below.

- Look at that.
- That was a brand-new tooth.

- ERIK: How deep?
- ALEX: About 260 feet

- into the mesa.
- God!

Whoa, we got metal.

TRAVIS: This could
actually be whatever is

- drilling through.
- Yeah.

BRANDON: This is our
most advanced technology.

We're taking an X-ray
of Skinwalker Ranch.

What we saw was strange.

The extremely large void
under the drilling site.

- Whoa.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- That has to mean something.
- Clearly.
