It's hitting
something really hard.
What could be hard enough
to be pushing back on that?
So is it drilling, then?
It's doing
about three inches an hour.
We go to bust through that crust
to get it stabilized.
We'll be
flying a weather balloon
with low-frequency radar.
We're seeing
all these strange
things in the data.
There's a phenomena
that the instruments are passing
through. Nobody's ever measured
any anomaly like
that on the planet.
I mean, what the
hell is up there?
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.
Got problems?
Yeah. Plenty
of problems up here.
'Kay.
- What's going on?
- Well,
we got down to 24 foot
and we hit something hard,
really started chattering.
And then around 25 feet,
it locked up and the
engine went dead.
Of the several hot
spots on Skinwalker Ranch
where our team
may be close to
getting some answers
about all the mysterious
phenomena that happens here,
the mesa has literally been
the hardest to figure out.
So you think the engine's blown?
I believe so.
The engine's gone?
I think it just hit
something hard and...
couldn't keep up with it.
For almost a month now,
our manual drill
operator, Joe Loeb,
has been working like
crazy on top of the mesa
trying to reach a 120-foot-tall,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we detected with
ground-penetrating radar
earlier this year.
Look at that.
Look at that.
This is highly anomalous.
And it's sitting right in front
of another 400-foot-long,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we not only think
is shaped like a dome
but has proven to be
totally impenetrable
during two previous
drilling operations.
It's hitting
something really hard.
8,000 pounds of push
and it wasn't budging.
The only thing we
have determined
about that particular object
is that the metallic fragments
that came out of the spoils
were scientifically
proven to be composed
of similar materials
that NASA uses
to cover the surface
of our own spacecraft.
Down below, we hit
something really hard,
and the whole thing
started shaking.
And then one loud
pop and that was it.
Like a backfire on the exhaust.
Will the engine start
or is it seized up?
It is seized up.
That's as far as it
gets on the pull start.
Man.
- But what caused it?
- What would do that?
And it's a brand-new motor.
- Brand-new motor.
- Yeah.
You know, it really
makes me wonder, I mean,
you drilled through 25
feet of rock and sandstone
and all kinds of stuff.
What are we hitting
that stopped us?
Could we be at the top of
whatever we're looking for?
- Could be.
- I say we pull the...
bit out and look
at the bottom of it.
Indeed,
what are we hitting here?
Why can't this
drill bit penetrate?
What could account
for this drill head
having been stopped dead
near the anomaly
in the GPR data?
There it is.
How's it look?
The bit looks fine.
- Everything still turns in there.
- Yeah.
- Everything's still turning.
- Teeth look like they're good, too.
There's no broken teeth on it.
This one's smooth.
Strange.
I don't know.
We're so close.
I mean, it just...
It's driving me crazy that we're
- so close to this thing and yet...
- Yeah.
- I feel robbed.
- We might as well be far, far away.
I think we need bigger
equipment or something.
Unfortunately,
I think we've just run out
of time this year to
be able to get this.
This is gonna be something
that we're gonna have
to put on pause, and,
come back with another
game plan. I mean,
we're not giving
up on this spot.
It's just... It's beat
us for the time being.
It's beyond frustrating
that we haven't
been able to figure out
what these anomalies are,
why they're so resistant to
heavy-duty drilling machines
and why they may contain
materials related to spacecraft.
Well, Joe, you've done amazing
work with what you've had,
so we appreciate your diligence.
We need to come
up with a much bolder plan
to get inside that mesa.
It just might hold some of
the keys to understanding
all of the phenomena that
happens at Skinwalker Ranch.
Joe, I'll help you
get this taken apart.
There you go.
Let's get out of here.
Man, welcome back. Welcome back.
Burdette. Good to see you, man.
Later that night,
high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson
came back to the ranch
in order to help us with an
experiment in the east field.
It's another location that may
be just as critical as the mesa
to solving this mystery.
Over the past three years,
we've seen numerous aerial
anomalies in the east field
near an ancient megalithic
spiral of boulders...
as well as a petroglyph
depicting stars and a serpent
that Indigenous tribal experts
have said are meant to
represent interdimensional portals.
Snakes represents
two different worlds.
So it's a guardian
to the portals.
I know it
sounds pretty incredible...
but in 2021, we detected
a column-shaped anomaly in
that area using photogrammetry.
And then, while conducting
a lidar scan this year,
we identified something
about 300 feet in the air
that matched up with the top of
the column-shaped phenomenon.
We're getting a
significant anomaly
in the air right now.
What?
And right in that spot is
where an invisible force
inexplicably pushed
the helicopter around.
These are
huge anomalies,
and the scale of it
is very surprising.
It's like there's wrinkles
in space and time.
Exactly.
And just last week,
Jeremiah Pate, the CEO
of a high-tech company
named Lunasonde,
conducted a radar scan
and found potential evidence
that the portal theory
could actually be true.
Well, you know,
this may be the...
first time we've
actually got evidence
of there being something
above the triangle, the object,
whether it's a portal or s...
Whatever else. I don't
know, but it's something.
So, Burdette,
this is the area where
we saw that anomaly
in the-the photogrammetry
data that we showed you.
- Right.
- So,
what we're gonna do is we're
gonna play some acoustic sounds
and look,
you know, with the high-speed,
if we see anything odd.
- Okay.
- You know,
if we produce a frequency,
one line of thinking has it
that we may activate
something here in response
to the emission of
that sound frequency.
So we're gonna... we're gonna
sweep the frequency range
a little bit and see if
something changes
up over our heads.
We believe
that it's very possible
that different frequencies can
open portals to other places.
Last year,
Navajo Ranger Jon
Dover explained to us that,
in ancient times,
his and other
Indigenous cultures
believed that certain
sound frequencies
could actually open up
gateways to other dimensions.
We've actually had
stories involving UAPs
that have entered into mesas...
and just gone
right into the rock.
There's a lot of mythos that,
you know, certain
acoustic resonances
are allegedly opening
portals to heaven
or to other places and so on.
It's in all the religions.
So I don't know if there's
any truth to it or not,
but it sure is a
lot of lore about it.
And so we're gonna project
some frequencies to see
what is happening there.
We're also gonna
launch some rockets
just to probe the area.
While we're doing that, of
course we will want to run
the high-speed
cameras on that as well.
Absolutely.
What I like about
this experiment
is that we're kind of combining
several different
kinds of physics.
We're taking the
acoustic or the audio,
and we're looking also
with light at high speed.
We're also looking at the RF
spectrum all at the same time.
You know, who knows how
these things are gonna correlate?
Well, we're about to find out.
Okay.
- Let's get to work.
- Right.
So, for tonight's
experiment in the east field,
Erik is going to broadcast a
range of acoustic frequencies
using a device known
as a tone generator.
He will also be continuously
scanning for RF radiation
with his spectrum analyzer.
Meanwhile, Burdette will
use his high-speed cameras,
which record 2,000
images per second,
to look for anything strange
and more evidence that
this unbelievable legend
could be true.
We're set up right
in the middle of the...
photogrammetry anomaly, right?
Dead center. Yeah.
So what we'll do first is
do the sound and the rocket
and run the high-speed
for a-a couple of intervals.
- Does that make sense?
- Okay. Yeah.
- Works for me.
- Okay.
Thomas, do you want to... You
and Kaleb will go launch the rocket.
- Y'all go ahead.
- Let's do it.
Want to hold it there for a
sec, we'll put the igniter in?
All right. We're loaded.
You're ready, Burdette?
High-speed's ready.
We're recording right now in...
2,000 frames per second.
- All right, Erik, you want to try the sound?
- All right.
Stand by for sound.
We're hot in five,
four, three,
two, one!
Perfect!
Look at that. Right up
through the anomaly.
That rocket went
perfectly through the anomaly,
- didn't it? -KALEB: Yeah.
- It did.
It went straight up.
Okay.
Can you take a look at
this and tell me if it's a...
bug or a bird or...
What you think?
- Where?
- I can't...
Right here, watch this.
There's something
screaming across there
right after the rocket.
Well, how far is... Dude,
that's going a long way.
Look at this thing.
That field
of view across there is
across the whole mesa,
so that's about a half a mile.
And it's at 2,000 frames
a second, so he just went
- a half a mile in...
- 1.12 seconds, I believe.
So it literally went from about
halfway here in the mesa,
to above the, these trees
over here in a second.
Wow.
A bird doesn't fly that fast.
That bird would have a jet pack.
That ain't
a bird. Holy crap!
Right after we fired a
rocket in the east field
and Erik began broadcasting
a tonal frequency,
Burdette Anderson's
high-speed camera recorded
the fastest-moving UAP
we've ever documented
on Skinwalker Ranch.
When did this happen in
relation to the launch itself?
It would've been about...
six seconds after the launch.
And it lasted for a period
of a little over one second.
That means it went from
there to there like that.
Wow.
Guys, that's 3,600
miles per hour.
What in the heck is this?
We just captured something
moving at 3,600 miles per hour
right there, six seconds
after we launched a rocket.
Something goes
over this close to us
at 3,600 miles per hour, you
would think you would hear
the atmospheric movement.
You would think you'd
see a wake behind it.
You didn't see a wake?
- No.
- And guess what that would have to be
in order for that to happen?
It would have
to be frictionless.
- Yeah.
- The characteristics of this UAP
were just like the
so-called Tic Tac
that was recorded in
2004 by the U.S. Navy.
It had no visible
exhaust or wake, either.
And it also seemed
to be surrounded
by some kind of force field,
and it disappeared
in the blink of an eye.
Where else have we
talked about something
being frictionless
in the last few days?
The drill bit going
into the mesa
drilled against something hard
and it didn't heat up
or damage the drill bit,
suggests that it was
something frictionless.
It would have to create
some kind of field around itself
- to be able to do that.
- Something. It'd have to...
Something we don't know
how to do is all I can say.
That's a lot like the object
that we saw with the cow.
- Yes.
- That thought had come to mind
as we were talking, that...
brief instant that we saw
something above the cow.
And you know I estimated
because we didn't know
where it was, that if it was right there...
At the tree line, then
it was going something
like 1,700 miles per hour.
- Yeah, I remember that.
- But-but it could've been
twice as far and
it would've been
right at 3,600 miles per hour.
- Yeah.
- So we don't really know
what it was or where it was.
What in the world?
We've had a lot of
phenomena that move
very quickly through the air.
Specifically, we
got a potential UFO
over our cow from
a few years ago
that passed away under
mysterious circumstances.
The cow is right here.
I can't help but also
notice that there's
something happening here.
And you were at
2,000 frames a second.
Yes.
Well, guys, we
may have just seen...
something show up as a response
to the rocket
- and the sound.
- Yep.
I can't help wondering
which of the two, if either,
is the stimulus. And so...
what I'd like to try is a purely
sound experiment.
Okay. So I need about...
I got about eight minutes,
probably of download time left
and then see what I
can do to reset for light.
So we got about ten minutes?
- Yes, sir.
- All right.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Are you comfortable with that?
- Yeah.
- For our experiment,
Erik is going to be broadcasting
a range of individual tones
at various frequencies.
Frequencies are measured
in units known as hertz.
Higher-numbered frequencies
have a higher pitch...
while lower-numbered frequencies
have a lower pitch.
We have no idea which frequency
might trigger a
phenomenon to occur.
So Erik is gonna
play a number of them,
and we'll just have
to see if any cause
something strange to happen.
All right, Travis, we are about
ready to start.
Have at it.
Ready for frequency one.
Okay, now.
Okay.
Okay.
That's like
tinnitus right there.
- I'm going to 380!
- Okay.
I feel like I'm hearing
a, harmonic of that.
So are you getting two tones?
Yeah!
That's interesting.
This is 385.
Did you hear that?
It was resonating
like a crystal glass
when you, like, when you
turned it off, it was still going.
I can hear an
echoing back in here.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
So what's half of that?
Let's try 192.
Dude, I could feel that one.
Did you feel that, Kaleb?
- Yeah.
- That's the one!
192 was the biggest one so far.
- I could feel that in my feet.
- Wow.
Whoa! Did y'all see that?
Right above us, right now!
Something just jumped...
something came
right across the sky!
Really?
You see it moving?
Tiny, tiny brightness, yeah
That was amazing.
Just after Erik played the tone
at a sound frequency
of 192 hertz,
another UAP appeared
and then vanished.
Let's keep, let's keep an eye.
Jon Dover told us that
the Indigenous people
of this region used
sound frequencies to
open portals centuries ago.
And also that they
claimed to see UAPs
flying in and out of the mesas.
Could we have just
experienced this?
Whatever that lower one was,
when it hit the ground,
it was like, like that.
You could feel it in your feet.
So that was pretty neat, but
- when-when you turned it off...
- We could hear it.
The valley was still ringing.
That's interesting.
That's neat.
Now that we have
the specific frequencies
that create special
effects on the environment,
I'm excited to see
what kind of experiments
we can do to stimulate
the phenomenon.
And maybe even, as some put it,
to open portals of
one kind or another.
Really makes me interested
in coming out here to do
specifically focused
sound experiments.
Yeah, specifically for
sound, that's exactly right.
Don't worry about anything
else, we just focus on that.
I'll tell you what we need to do,
we need to do some
historical research on,
- Ute and Navajo ceremonies.
- I am all for that.
To try and reproduce
those acoustics, right?
Yeah.
Guys, this has been a heck
of a successful experiment.
We did capture something
during the experiments
moving at 3,600 miles per hour,
which, you know, that's not
something you see every day.
And, I really can't
wait to get back and look
at that footage in more detail
of the phenomenon and
look through the rest of it, there
- may be something in there we haven't seen yet.
- Yeah.
Burdette,
man, we really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot for
coming out, man.
This is
absolutely awesome, guys.
- This is good stuff, man.
- This was fun.
Haven't had this
much fun in a long time.
Yeah, what you did for
us tonight was amazing.
- We really appreciate it.
- Absolutely.
- It was awesome. It's fun stuff.
- So let's help you get broke down.
We're gonna gather up our
rockets and our equipment.
- And let's get moving, all right.
- All right. Get tied up and
- we'll get us out of here.
- All right.
- Hey, Jim, how you doing, man?
- Hey, how you doing, buddy?
- Haven't see you in forever.
- Long time no see.
Yeah, man, good to see you.
A couple of nights
after our sound
frequency experiment
near the mesa in the east field,
Ranch Manager Jim Morse
and Navajo Ranger Jon Dover
brought out a group of drummers
from an Indigenous
musical organization
known as Blazing Bear...
- John Ballard.
- Nice to meet you, man.
To help us repeat
the investigation,
but by a much more
traditional and mystical method.
John, thanks so
much for coming in.
I'm anxious for
you to share with us
a little bit about Blazing Bear.
We're just a group of brothers
that come from Oklahoma.
So, like, these guys are
all Comanches and Kiowas,
and Cheyennes,
Shawnees, Navajos.
We all represent
different tribes.
We all just like to form
together as brothers.
These guys are very traditional.
They have old songs
that have been sung
for hundreds of
years, so we want
to see, what's gonna happen.
I'm really interested in
putting us right out there
in front of that petroglyph,
if that turns out
to be a good spot.
It's a very special spot
for us here on the ranch.
That location is one that has
very special sound properties.
I think you guys
will love that spot.
So let's get moving.
Our plan tonight is to
have Blazing Bear perform
a series of ceremonial songs
in front of the mesa where
the serpent
petroglyph is located,
which is also just below
where the spiral of boulders
sets up on top of the ridge.
Meanwhile, as the sounds
waves bounce off the rock walls,
and encompass
the entire east field,
video expert David
Mason will be using
thermal imaging cameras to
look for temperature changes
or other visual anomalies
that might appear
during the ceremony.
- Hey, David, how you doing, man?
- Hey.
- Good to see you again.
- Doing good.
Now, y-you already
got them set up
- over there, it looks like.
- Yeah, I figured I'd put them
right there, as close to
the petroglyph as I could,
and then get some of the
sound coming off of the rock wall.
So, guys, this is the area
we were talking about.
The petroglyph is this
rock here that you see
the black face on it.
Our thought is, you guys do
your ceremony right over there.
We're gonna have all
of our equipment set up
back here behind you listening
to the sound coming
off of the mesa.
And, at the same time we're
gonna be watching, you know,
to see if any phenomena occur
that, you know, who knows?
We've seen UFOs, actually,
standing right
here where you are
within the last few days.
We're excited to see
what happens, as well.
All right. Well, I say we get
going. What do you guys say?
- Yep.
- Yeah, a bit more setup and we'll be ready.
Sounds good.
Within Native American culture,
there's things that are
done at a certain frequency.
And the Navajo themselves,
and other tribes,
have verbal histories
that talks about Sky People
coming to them and
imparting knowledge.
To them, the idea of portals
has always been there.
Hey, guys, we're just
gonna do our thing.
- Let's get it.
- But, you know, sing for these guys,
and, you know, see
what they can do,
see what they can come up with.
You know what I mean? So...
- let's get to it.
- Let's do it.
The acoustics
in this area are phenomenal.
And I'm really excited to see
what comes from this experiment.
I wanted to go up by
the petroglyphs and stand
and see if I could see or
feel anything happening.
While I was up
by the petroglyph, I noticed
that on the vegetation right
there below the rock, when
they'd start playing the song,
the leaves would start to move.
So I actually moved around
several different places
to see if I could
catch an air current.
And I couldn't personally
feel any air movement.
They'd stop the song and
the leaves would quit shaking.
It'll be interesting to watch
as the night progresses
to see what else happens.
Man, you can really feel
it when y'all were hitting
those big bass notes.
It's just right in time
with your heartbeat, too.
It's amazing. Yeah,
it's pretty cool.
- So, Travis?
- Yeah.
As they were playing,
I noticed these leaves
up here, these plants started to
to dance around a little bit.
- Really?
- I will tell you,
I walked all the way
around 'em, almost a 360,
while they were playing,
and the place where I felt
the reverberation the strongest
is right up here
close to this rock,
but it's really
strong right here.
Well, it could be setting
up an acoustic resonance
in there in the cavity
- in the rock or something.
- Yeah.
All right, well, I'm
gonna head back down
and check the instruments.
Wow, now that's cool.
Once the sun went down
and the atmosphere cooled off,
we were really eager to
find out what we would see
through the thermal
cameras as the team
from Blazing Bear
continued playing
their ceremonial
songs in the east field.
I-I think we're ready to go.
So, guys, if you're ready to go,
- whenever you want to start.
- Okay, let's go.
- Right there.
- Yep.
Well, when they started singing,
the temperature
literally changed.
Look at the top of the mesa!
Erik, the stone circle is where
- it's heating up on top of the mesa.
- Are you kidding me?
You should
see this, this is fascinating.
Right there, that's
where the stone circle is.
And it's heating up,
look how hot it's getting.
The stone circle is lit
up like a Christmas tree.
It's so nuts.
That is crazy!
After all the
scientific experiments
we've conducted over
the past four years,
one of the most
perplexing phenomenon
we've ever seen just
happened on Skinwalker Ranch.
As Blazing Bear performed
their ritual drum ceremony,
David Mason's thermal
camera recorded a massive
spike of heat over the spiral
of boulders on top of the mesa.
And according to the traditions
of the ancient
Indigenous nations here,
that formation was built
hundreds of years ago
to represent an
interdimensional portal.
Now let's watch now, that
they've stopped playing,
and see what happens.
Now look at it,
it's cooling off.
Yeah, yeah.
It heated up
while they were playing,
and now it's like it's
gradually cooling off.
That is fascinating. Why, why
suddenly at the stone
circle is this happening?
And now that it's quiet,
the screen just looks
uniform like you'd expect it to.
- Yeah.
- That's fascinating.
Hey, Travis, I want to
get your eyes on this.
All right.
So, when they're playing the drum only...
I do, in fact, get
a peak near 200,
- which is right in the range of that 192, 193...
- Yeah.
- That we were talking about.
- Right.
So, that resonance
that we've seen here before
does show up
as one of the frequencies
coming out of that drum.
Look at that!
Right as the drumming stopped,
the anomaly we were all seeing
on David Mason's thermal cameras
started to cool off.
But as Erik pointed out,
while the drummers were playing,
their sounds reached a
frequency of 192 hertz.
That's the same frequency
Erik played the other night
when we saw the UAP
from the exact same spot.
The odds of seeing an
anomaly on top of the mesa
while playing the
192 hertz frequency
at the same time
are truly incredible.
Could this be the frequency
that opens the rumored
portal in this area?
That's what we hope to find out.
I-I would like to ask them
to just play the drums softly.
Yep, yep, yep.
Could you guys play,
that song again
without the singing
and just play the drums?
We'd like to see
what that looks like.
Okay. Here we go.
So we're getting
a peak right at 192.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Look at that hotspot
forming right there.
Look at that spot right
there. Look at that spot.
Why is that one
spot getting hot?
Why would the rocks get warmer?
There's nothing to change that.
Two cold spots just popped in.
Did you hear anything over here?
Just heard something.
Hey, they told
me to let 'em know
- if I hear anything.
- Well, tell them.
Hey, Travis?
Yeah, John. Go ahead.
Um, so you told me to let
you know about anything, right?
Absolutely.
So...
keep hearing something up here.
It was like somebody
was, like, trying
to walk, like, real slow,
like kind of creep through.
Right here where
this big rock is,
behind it, we keep
seeing, like, a figure
or something over here that
keeps going back and forth.
- I'm going up on top...
- Yep. Yep.
In case there is
somebody up there.
Go, go, go, go, go.
All right. We're on our way.
Kaleb, you go to the
right, I'll go to the left.
Yep.
You got anything on that camera?
Nothing.
I'm just seeing the people.
I think somebody's crouched down
in one of these crevices.
There's no
tracks, there's nothing.
- So, um, Dragon?
- Yeah?
It's not up there.
- So the... It came from, like...
- Had to.
Like, right in here.
Right there is where I
keep seeing something.
I'm not sure what it is,
but that's where it's at.
What?
Yeah, something
keeps walking on those rocks, bro.
So what is this
right here? Look.
It's a kind of cold zone.
Yeah, we got
a cold spot right there.
Right where they're looking.
That's right by this boulder.
He's walking right to it.
So it's, like,
right over there, Dragon.
Why that spot?
That is crazy!
It's right there.
There is a cold
spot right there.
Dragon, there is a cold spot
right by where you're
shining the light.
Really?
There's nothing.
- What were you guys hearing?
- You know,
- somebody walking and just, like, rocks-rocks moving...
- Man.
- At the same time.
- Really? Yeah.
Like, from walking on 'em
and they just kind of rolling.
Like-like, trying to be quiet
- as they're walking, you know?
- Yeah.
- Just a little crunching and...
- Yep.
So it's, like,
right over there, Dragon.
You see anything, Kaleb?
No, there's
nothing up here, dude.
Yeah, there's nothing.
Erik and I were stunned
when members of Blazing Bear said
they saw some kind of
shadowy figure up on the ridge
just after we saw
thermal anomalies
by the spiral of boulders.
And what's really crazy is that
previous ranch investigators,
including my colleague from
the UAP Task Force, Jay Stratton,
and retired Army
Colonel John Alexander,
who both worked with
Robert Bigelow, described
these same kinds of phenomena
happening at Homestead Two
more than a decade ago.
You know, this is
pretty disturbing stuff.
How do you guys
feel about proceeding?
Because if you're
not comfortable,
- we can pull you back and we can be done.
- Yeah, so,
just kind of all night,
we've been hearing, like...
Even, like... Like, we
even kind of heard, like...
shuffling.
What we call those is,
shadow people.
Y-You can... you can
kind of make 'em out.
- Yeah, but you can't. Yeah.
- But-but you can't see 'em.
- Only in your peripheral vison, right?
- Yeah.
And, that's why I was
like, "All right, boys, we're...
we're done for the night."
That-that...
This place can freak you
out if you're not careful.
- And it...
- Trust me, we are that... to that point.
When John Ballard
informed us that the members
of Blazing Bear were
too uncomfortable
to keep playing
their ritual songs,
we had to respect their decision
and accept that the
experiment was over.
Well, with that,
we want you to come back.
- So we better get you out of here.
- Yeah.
Jon, appreciate you coming
out and helping us tonight, too.
Most tribal members won't
even talk about Skinwalker Ranch,
let alone come out
here and perform rituals
to poke the nest.
So we were nothing
but grateful to them.
We saw incredible phenomena,
and we collected tons of data
that we need to further
analyze as soon as possible.
- All right, guys, well, I appreciate it again.
- Okay. Thanks again.
- Appreciate it, guys. -Appreciate it.
- Appreciate it, John.
I've got some footage.
What have you got for us today?
Right now, I'm looking at
some high-speed video footage.
This is at 2,000
frames per second.
And you remember we saw
a dark object.
Yeah, yeah.
The next morning,
we gathered to review it all,
as well as some of the footage
from the prior sound
experiment that we conducted
earlier that week
out in the east field.
So we were trying to sort out
the, the distance to the
object, as well as the speed.
- Okay, so let me bring that up.
- I'm excited to see this again.
'Kay.
So, there's the object
moving from left to right.
That thing is traveling
at a ridiculous rate of speed.
Yeah, so if you
look at this dist...
When you zoom all the way
out, I remember out there looking,
we-we kind of did
a "Well, if it flew from
this part of the mesa
"all the way over here
to this part of the mesa
in this amount of time,"
it covered about a mile in,
a thousandth of a second,
if I remember that right.
If something went screaming
through our airspace
at that rate, we'd
hear something.
You know?
Play it till it goes all
the way offscreen.
To me, it almost looks
like it turns just ever so slightly.
Yeah.
It's definitely strange
that we were broadcasting
tonal frequencies right before
that UAP appeared
out of nowhere.
And then it traveled
more than a half-mile
in a thousandth of a second
before vanishing again.
Could it really
corroborate the ancient lore
about UAPs traveling in and
out of mesas through portals?
It's mind-boggling to
consider it as a possibility.
I do have some of Dave
Mason's FLIR footage
from the experiment.
I thought it might
be instructive
for us to look at it together.
That would be great.
Here are some neat highlights.
This interval
that I'm about to play is re...
One that really
caught my attention.
- Watch what happens...
- So they just start playing,
- it looks like.
- Yes, they're playing now.
Watch what happens.
Yeah, so we saw this out there
when it was
happening in real time.
Wow.
We done this with sound,
and we see a temperature change
when we've done it.
Now, I'm... We'd have
to do it a thousand times
to thoroughly convince myself
that it's the sound causing it.
- Right? But we certainly have...
- Yes.
Events now where it correlates.
When we have a sound, we
have a temperature change.
Now we're about to see
another event that
I found interesting.
Now look at what's
happening here.
So we've got the ridgeline.
Fairly well-defined.
And now look at this.
- There.
- Whoa,
- whoa, whoa, whoa.
- There it is.
Go back, go back, go back.
What is that?
That, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
So let's-let's back
that up a little bit.
See that?
- Wow, that's crazy.
- So those two things
coming out of the
sky there, going b...
To me, it looks like it's
going behind the mesa.
Back that up
and go through that again.
Sure.
Wow.
What is that?
I don't know how many
more times we can say
"We don't believe
what we just saw."
But while the Blazing Bear team
was performing their sound
frequency ritual last night,
the thermal camera
captured two bright orbs
flying above the petroglyph
and directly into the mesa
right at the spiral of boulders
that are meant to depict
an interdimensional portal.
It doesn't go in
front of the mesa.
You can clearly
see the line of the mesa,
and it's like there's something
going behind it there.
So what could that be?
Go back to where it...
- it-it's right at the ridgeline.
- Okay.
There's two of them.
Th-They're not the
exact same path.
But why do they stop
right there at the mesa,
at the ridgeline?
I mean, that's
really interesting.
So let's think about
what we were doing
when this happened.
There was one performance
that really set up and
indicated a resonance.
And you could see some
very well-defined peaks.
I can't help wondering whether
there might have been a...
- connection.
- Yeah.
So we've had really good
luck, if you want to call it that,
of seeing phenomena when we...
have sounds.
And, it makes me wonder,
is there a way that
we could maybe put
more energy into a spot to
see if something happens?
Where there's
potentially some kind of portal.
Like at the triangle.
- Right.
- Yeah. Like a big impulse of it or something.
Okay.
Something seems
to be interacting
with stuff over the triangle
from almost the ground up to...
5,000 feet or more.
If the portal theory is true,
it will take a massive
amount of energy to prove it.
And the place
where we've detected
the highest energy spikes
on the ranch is at the triangle.
We're maybe
looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
It's also where we saw
the blob just 31 feet high
that seemed to physically
destroy rockets and mortars.
So I think we need
to go back there
and poke that spot
harder than ever before.
It does seem to be energetic.
So how do we
illuminate that better
and-and understand
more of what it is?
You know, when
the rocket hit the thing
in the... in-in the
high-speed infrared camera,
it was clear once
the motor ignited,
the brightness from the
heat of the, engine
was illuminating something
in the sky above it.
And then of course
it gets to 31 feet,
and we all know what
happens there... it blows up.
- Yeah.
- But I'm thinking if it's the heat,
the infrared that's
painting it so we can see it,
- we need to hit it with a lot of heat.
- So, what,
like, get a flamethrower out
here or something like that?
Fire... I was thinking
fireworks, but a flamethrower's
probably a better idea.
Okay.
I liked your flamethrower idea.
Well, and you never know
what you're gonna see.
Like, with a flamethrower,
the cool thing is
it's gonna leave smoke, too.
And, well, basically,
as many ways as
we can come up with
to dump energy into that space
and look at what the
response is, I'm for it.
- For sure.
- That sounds great.
It sounds like a plan.
Or at least a formative plan.
It sounds awesome. Let me
know how I can assist you guys
in setting this up.
- Well, thanks, guys.
- Thank you. -Thank you, Erik.
Erik, this was
awesome stuff, man.
For every
experiment that we've done
to investigate or get
answers to questions,
the main thing that's
come from them
is a dozen more questions.
We have so much
more work here to do.
We have barely
touched the surface
of what could potentially be
going on here on the ranch.
I like to think of
these stimulation exercises
as a kind of handshake.
As if to say, "Hey, we're here,
"and there is
intelligent design.
"There is intent to observe,
"mutually, perhaps,
and, if possible,
even communicate."
I believe that what
we're witnessing on Skinwalker Ranch
is evidence that we live in
a multidimensional reality.
I think we're barely
scratching the surface
when it comes to
understanding the nature
of our world
and our existence.
What that means,
what that entails,
well, that's up
to us to discover.
Yeah, check this out, guys.
What I brought with
me is a flamethrower.
There's
something going on at 31 feet
right above the triangle.
Wow.
- Look at that!
- What?
This is unusual.
Tracking the space station now.
- You guys got it locked on?
- Yeah.
What just happened?
We lost the signal.
Are you serious?
Want to review the lidar data.
- What is that?
- That's the most amazing thing
I've ever seen out here.
---
It's hitting
something really hard.
What could be hard enough
to be pushing back on that?
So is it drilling, then?
It's doing
about three inches an hour.
We go to bust through that crust
to get it stabilized.
We'll be
flying a weather balloon
with low-frequency radar.
We're seeing
all these strange
things in the data.
There's a phenomena
that the instruments are passing
through. Nobody's ever measured
any anomaly like
that on the planet.
I mean, what the
hell is up there?
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.
Got problems?
Yeah. Plenty
of problems up here.
'Kay.
- What's going on?
- Well,
we got down to 24 foot
and we hit something hard,
really started chattering.
And then around 25 feet,
it locked up and the
engine went dead.
Of the several hot
spots on Skinwalker Ranch
where our team
may be close to
getting some answers
about all the mysterious
phenomena that happens here,
the mesa has literally been
the hardest to figure out.
So you think the engine's blown?
I believe so.
The engine's gone?
I think it just hit
something hard and...
couldn't keep up with it.
For almost a month now,
our manual drill
operator, Joe Loeb,
has been working like
crazy on top of the mesa
trying to reach a 120-foot-tall,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we detected with
ground-penetrating radar
earlier this year.
Look at that.
Look at that.
This is highly anomalous.
And it's sitting right in front
of another 400-foot-long,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we not only think
is shaped like a dome
but has proven to be
totally impenetrable
during two previous
drilling operations.
It's hitting
something really hard.
8,000 pounds of push
and it wasn't budging.
The only thing we
have determined
about that particular object
is that the metallic fragments
that came out of the spoils
were scientifically
proven to be composed
of similar materials
that NASA uses
to cover the surface
of our own spacecraft.
Down below, we hit
something really hard,
and the whole thing
started shaking.
And then one loud
pop and that was it.
Like a backfire on the exhaust.
Will the engine start
or is it seized up?
It is seized up.
That's as far as it
gets on the pull start.
Man.
- But what caused it?
- What would do that?
And it's a brand-new motor.
- Brand-new motor.
- Yeah.
You know, it really
makes me wonder, I mean,
you drilled through 25
feet of rock and sandstone
and all kinds of stuff.
What are we hitting
that stopped us?
Could we be at the top of
whatever we're looking for?
- Could be.
- I say we pull the...
bit out and look
at the bottom of it.
Indeed,
what are we hitting here?
Why can't this
drill bit penetrate?
What could account
for this drill head
having been stopped dead
near the anomaly
in the GPR data?
There it is.
How's it look?
The bit looks fine.
- Everything still turns in there.
- Yeah.
- Everything's still turning.
- Teeth look like they're good, too.
There's no broken teeth on it.
This one's smooth.
Strange.
I don't know.
We're so close.
I mean, it just...
It's driving me crazy that we're
- so close to this thing and yet...
- Yeah.
- I feel robbed.
- We might as well be far, far away.
I think we need bigger
equipment or something.
Unfortunately,
I think we've just run out
of time this year to
be able to get this.
This is gonna be something
that we're gonna have
to put on pause, and,
come back with another
game plan. I mean,
we're not giving
up on this spot.
It's just... It's beat
us for the time being.
It's beyond frustrating
that we haven't
been able to figure out
what these anomalies are,
why they're so resistant to
heavy-duty drilling machines
and why they may contain
materials related to spacecraft.
Well, Joe, you've done amazing
work with what you've had,
so we appreciate your diligence.
We need to come
up with a much bolder plan
to get inside that mesa.
It just might hold some of
the keys to understanding
all of the phenomena that
happens at Skinwalker Ranch.
Joe, I'll help you
get this taken apart.
There you go.
Let's get out of here.
Man, welcome back. Welcome back.
Burdette. Good to see you, man.
Later that night,
high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson
came back to the ranch
in order to help us with an
experiment in the east field.
It's another location that may
be just as critical as the mesa
to solving this mystery.
Over the past three years,
we've seen numerous aerial
anomalies in the east field
near an ancient megalithic
spiral of boulders...
as well as a petroglyph
depicting stars and a serpent
that Indigenous tribal experts
have said are meant to
represent interdimensional portals.
Snakes represents
two different worlds.
So it's a guardian
to the portals.
I know it
sounds pretty incredible...
but in 2021, we detected
a column-shaped anomaly in
that area using photogrammetry.
And then, while conducting
a lidar scan this year,
we identified something
about 300 feet in the air
that matched up with the top of
the column-shaped phenomenon.
We're getting a
significant anomaly
in the air right now.
What?
And right in that spot is
where an invisible force
inexplicably pushed
the helicopter around.
These are
huge anomalies,
and the scale of it
is very surprising.
It's like there's wrinkles
in space and time.
Exactly.
And just last week,
Jeremiah Pate, the CEO
of a high-tech company
named Lunasonde,
conducted a radar scan
and found potential evidence
that the portal theory
could actually be true.
Well, you know,
this may be the...
first time we've
actually got evidence
of there being something
above the triangle, the object,
whether it's a portal or s...
Whatever else. I don't
know, but it's something.
So, Burdette,
this is the area where
we saw that anomaly
in the-the photogrammetry
data that we showed you.
- Right.
- So,
what we're gonna do is we're
gonna play some acoustic sounds
and look,
you know, with the high-speed,
if we see anything odd.
- Okay.
- You know,
if we produce a frequency,
one line of thinking has it
that we may activate
something here in response
to the emission of
that sound frequency.
So we're gonna... we're gonna
sweep the frequency range
a little bit and see if
something changes
up over our heads.
We believe
that it's very possible
that different frequencies can
open portals to other places.
Last year,
Navajo Ranger Jon
Dover explained to us that,
in ancient times,
his and other
Indigenous cultures
believed that certain
sound frequencies
could actually open up
gateways to other dimensions.
We've actually had
stories involving UAPs
that have entered into mesas...
and just gone
right into the rock.
There's a lot of mythos that,
you know, certain
acoustic resonances
are allegedly opening
portals to heaven
or to other places and so on.
It's in all the religions.
So I don't know if there's
any truth to it or not,
but it sure is a
lot of lore about it.
And so we're gonna project
some frequencies to see
what is happening there.
We're also gonna
launch some rockets
just to probe the area.
While we're doing that, of
course we will want to run
the high-speed
cameras on that as well.
Absolutely.
What I like about
this experiment
is that we're kind of combining
several different
kinds of physics.
We're taking the
acoustic or the audio,
and we're looking also
with light at high speed.
We're also looking at the RF
spectrum all at the same time.
You know, who knows how
these things are gonna correlate?
Well, we're about to find out.
Okay.
- Let's get to work.
- Right.
So, for tonight's
experiment in the east field,
Erik is going to broadcast a
range of acoustic frequencies
using a device known
as a tone generator.
He will also be continuously
scanning for RF radiation
with his spectrum analyzer.
Meanwhile, Burdette will
use his high-speed cameras,
which record 2,000
images per second,
to look for anything strange
and more evidence that
this unbelievable legend
could be true.
We're set up right
in the middle of the...
photogrammetry anomaly, right?
Dead center. Yeah.
So what we'll do first is
do the sound and the rocket
and run the high-speed
for a-a couple of intervals.
- Does that make sense?
- Okay. Yeah.
- Works for me.
- Okay.
Thomas, do you want to... You
and Kaleb will go launch the rocket.
- Y'all go ahead.
- Let's do it.
Want to hold it there for a
sec, we'll put the igniter in?
All right. We're loaded.
You're ready, Burdette?
High-speed's ready.
We're recording right now in...
2,000 frames per second.
- All right, Erik, you want to try the sound?
- All right.
Stand by for sound.
We're hot in five,
four, three,
two, one!
Perfect!
Look at that. Right up
through the anomaly.
That rocket went
perfectly through the anomaly,
- didn't it? -KALEB: Yeah.
- It did.
It went straight up.
Okay.
Can you take a look at
this and tell me if it's a...
bug or a bird or...
What you think?
- Where?
- I can't...
Right here, watch this.
There's something
screaming across there
right after the rocket.
Well, how far is... Dude,
that's going a long way.
Look at this thing.
That field
of view across there is
across the whole mesa,
so that's about a half a mile.
And it's at 2,000 frames
a second, so he just went
- a half a mile in...
- 1.12 seconds, I believe.
So it literally went from about
halfway here in the mesa,
to above the, these trees
over here in a second.
Wow.
A bird doesn't fly that fast.
That bird would have a jet pack.
That ain't
a bird. Holy crap!
Right after we fired a
rocket in the east field
and Erik began broadcasting
a tonal frequency,
Burdette Anderson's
high-speed camera recorded
the fastest-moving UAP
we've ever documented
on Skinwalker Ranch.
When did this happen in
relation to the launch itself?
It would've been about...
six seconds after the launch.
And it lasted for a period
of a little over one second.
That means it went from
there to there like that.
Wow.
Guys, that's 3,600
miles per hour.
What in the heck is this?
We just captured something
moving at 3,600 miles per hour
right there, six seconds
after we launched a rocket.
Something goes
over this close to us
at 3,600 miles per hour, you
would think you would hear
the atmospheric movement.
You would think you'd
see a wake behind it.
You didn't see a wake?
- No.
- And guess what that would have to be
in order for that to happen?
It would have
to be frictionless.
- Yeah.
- The characteristics of this UAP
were just like the
so-called Tic Tac
that was recorded in
2004 by the U.S. Navy.
It had no visible
exhaust or wake, either.
And it also seemed
to be surrounded
by some kind of force field,
and it disappeared
in the blink of an eye.
Where else have we
talked about something
being frictionless
in the last few days?
The drill bit going
into the mesa
drilled against something hard
and it didn't heat up
or damage the drill bit,
suggests that it was
something frictionless.
It would have to create
some kind of field around itself
- to be able to do that.
- Something. It'd have to...
Something we don't know
how to do is all I can say.
That's a lot like the object
that we saw with the cow.
- Yes.
- That thought had come to mind
as we were talking, that...
brief instant that we saw
something above the cow.
And you know I estimated
because we didn't know
where it was, that if it was right there...
At the tree line, then
it was going something
like 1,700 miles per hour.
- Yeah, I remember that.
- But-but it could've been
twice as far and
it would've been
right at 3,600 miles per hour.
- Yeah.
- So we don't really know
what it was or where it was.
What in the world?
We've had a lot of
phenomena that move
very quickly through the air.
Specifically, we
got a potential UFO
over our cow from
a few years ago
that passed away under
mysterious circumstances.
The cow is right here.
I can't help but also
notice that there's
something happening here.
And you were at
2,000 frames a second.
Yes.
Well, guys, we
may have just seen...
something show up as a response
to the rocket
- and the sound.
- Yep.
I can't help wondering
which of the two, if either,
is the stimulus. And so...
what I'd like to try is a purely
sound experiment.
Okay. So I need about...
I got about eight minutes,
probably of download time left
and then see what I
can do to reset for light.
So we got about ten minutes?
- Yes, sir.
- All right.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Are you comfortable with that?
- Yeah.
- For our experiment,
Erik is going to be broadcasting
a range of individual tones
at various frequencies.
Frequencies are measured
in units known as hertz.
Higher-numbered frequencies
have a higher pitch...
while lower-numbered frequencies
have a lower pitch.
We have no idea which frequency
might trigger a
phenomenon to occur.
So Erik is gonna
play a number of them,
and we'll just have
to see if any cause
something strange to happen.
All right, Travis, we are about
ready to start.
Have at it.
Ready for frequency one.
Okay, now.
Okay.
Okay.
That's like
tinnitus right there.
- I'm going to 380!
- Okay.
I feel like I'm hearing
a, harmonic of that.
So are you getting two tones?
Yeah!
That's interesting.
This is 385.
Did you hear that?
It was resonating
like a crystal glass
when you, like, when you
turned it off, it was still going.
I can hear an
echoing back in here.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
So what's half of that?
Let's try 192.
Dude, I could feel that one.
Did you feel that, Kaleb?
- Yeah.
- That's the one!
192 was the biggest one so far.
- I could feel that in my feet.
- Wow.
Whoa! Did y'all see that?
Right above us, right now!
Something just jumped...
something came
right across the sky!
Really?
You see it moving?
Tiny, tiny brightness, yeah
That was amazing.
Just after Erik played the tone
at a sound frequency
of 192 hertz,
another UAP appeared
and then vanished.
Let's keep, let's keep an eye.
Jon Dover told us that
the Indigenous people
of this region used
sound frequencies to
open portals centuries ago.
And also that they
claimed to see UAPs
flying in and out of the mesas.
Could we have just
experienced this?
Whatever that lower one was,
when it hit the ground,
it was like, like that.
You could feel it in your feet.
So that was pretty neat, but
- when-when you turned it off...
- We could hear it.
The valley was still ringing.
That's interesting.
That's neat.
Now that we have
the specific frequencies
that create special
effects on the environment,
I'm excited to see
what kind of experiments
we can do to stimulate
the phenomenon.
And maybe even, as some put it,
to open portals of
one kind or another.
Really makes me interested
in coming out here to do
specifically focused
sound experiments.
Yeah, specifically for
sound, that's exactly right.
Don't worry about anything
else, we just focus on that.
I'll tell you what we need to do,
we need to do some
historical research on,
- Ute and Navajo ceremonies.
- I am all for that.
To try and reproduce
those acoustics, right?
Yeah.
Guys, this has been a heck
of a successful experiment.
We did capture something
during the experiments
moving at 3,600 miles per hour,
which, you know, that's not
something you see every day.
And, I really can't
wait to get back and look
at that footage in more detail
of the phenomenon and
look through the rest of it, there
- may be something in there we haven't seen yet.
- Yeah.
Burdette,
man, we really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot for
coming out, man.
This is
absolutely awesome, guys.
- This is good stuff, man.
- This was fun.
Haven't had this
much fun in a long time.
Yeah, what you did for
us tonight was amazing.
- We really appreciate it.
- Absolutely.
- It was awesome. It's fun stuff.
- So let's help you get broke down.
We're gonna gather up our
rockets and our equipment.
- And let's get moving, all right.
- All right. Get tied up and
- we'll get us out of here.
- All right.
- Hey, Jim, how you doing, man?
- Hey, how you doing, buddy?
- Haven't see you in forever.
- Long time no see.
Yeah, man, good to see you.
A couple of nights
after our sound
frequency experiment
near the mesa in the east field,
Ranch Manager Jim Morse
and Navajo Ranger Jon Dover
brought out a group of drummers
from an Indigenous
musical organization
known as Blazing Bear...
- John Ballard.
- Nice to meet you, man.
To help us repeat
the investigation,
but by a much more
traditional and mystical method.
John, thanks so
much for coming in.
I'm anxious for
you to share with us
a little bit about Blazing Bear.
We're just a group of brothers
that come from Oklahoma.
So, like, these guys are
all Comanches and Kiowas,
and Cheyennes,
Shawnees, Navajos.
We all represent
different tribes.
We all just like to form
together as brothers.
These guys are very traditional.
They have old songs
that have been sung
for hundreds of
years, so we want
to see, what's gonna happen.
I'm really interested in
putting us right out there
in front of that petroglyph,
if that turns out
to be a good spot.
It's a very special spot
for us here on the ranch.
That location is one that has
very special sound properties.
I think you guys
will love that spot.
So let's get moving.
Our plan tonight is to
have Blazing Bear perform
a series of ceremonial songs
in front of the mesa where
the serpent
petroglyph is located,
which is also just below
where the spiral of boulders
sets up on top of the ridge.
Meanwhile, as the sounds
waves bounce off the rock walls,
and encompass
the entire east field,
video expert David
Mason will be using
thermal imaging cameras to
look for temperature changes
or other visual anomalies
that might appear
during the ceremony.
- Hey, David, how you doing, man?
- Hey.
- Good to see you again.
- Doing good.
Now, y-you already
got them set up
- over there, it looks like.
- Yeah, I figured I'd put them
right there, as close to
the petroglyph as I could,
and then get some of the
sound coming off of the rock wall.
So, guys, this is the area
we were talking about.
The petroglyph is this
rock here that you see
the black face on it.
Our thought is, you guys do
your ceremony right over there.
We're gonna have all
of our equipment set up
back here behind you listening
to the sound coming
off of the mesa.
And, at the same time we're
gonna be watching, you know,
to see if any phenomena occur
that, you know, who knows?
We've seen UFOs, actually,
standing right
here where you are
within the last few days.
We're excited to see
what happens, as well.
All right. Well, I say we get
going. What do you guys say?
- Yep.
- Yeah, a bit more setup and we'll be ready.
Sounds good.
Within Native American culture,
there's things that are
done at a certain frequency.
And the Navajo themselves,
and other tribes,
have verbal histories
that talks about Sky People
coming to them and
imparting knowledge.
To them, the idea of portals
has always been there.
Hey, guys, we're just
gonna do our thing.
- Let's get it.
- But, you know, sing for these guys,
and, you know, see
what they can do,
see what they can come up with.
You know what I mean? So...
- let's get to it.
- Let's do it.
The acoustics
in this area are phenomenal.
And I'm really excited to see
what comes from this experiment.
I wanted to go up by
the petroglyphs and stand
and see if I could see or
feel anything happening.
While I was up
by the petroglyph, I noticed
that on the vegetation right
there below the rock, when
they'd start playing the song,
the leaves would start to move.
So I actually moved around
several different places
to see if I could
catch an air current.
And I couldn't personally
feel any air movement.
They'd stop the song and
the leaves would quit shaking.
It'll be interesting to watch
as the night progresses
to see what else happens.
Man, you can really feel
it when y'all were hitting
those big bass notes.
It's just right in time
with your heartbeat, too.
It's amazing. Yeah,
it's pretty cool.
- So, Travis?
- Yeah.
As they were playing,
I noticed these leaves
up here, these plants started to
to dance around a little bit.
- Really?
- I will tell you,
I walked all the way
around 'em, almost a 360,
while they were playing,
and the place where I felt
the reverberation the strongest
is right up here
close to this rock,
but it's really
strong right here.
Well, it could be setting
up an acoustic resonance
in there in the cavity
- in the rock or something.
- Yeah.
All right, well, I'm
gonna head back down
and check the instruments.
Wow, now that's cool.
Once the sun went down
and the atmosphere cooled off,
we were really eager to
find out what we would see
through the thermal
cameras as the team
from Blazing Bear
continued playing
their ceremonial
songs in the east field.
I-I think we're ready to go.
So, guys, if you're ready to go,
- whenever you want to start.
- Okay, let's go.
- Right there.
- Yep.
Well, when they started singing,
the temperature
literally changed.
Look at the top of the mesa!
Erik, the stone circle is where
- it's heating up on top of the mesa.
- Are you kidding me?
You should
see this, this is fascinating.
Right there, that's
where the stone circle is.
And it's heating up,
look how hot it's getting.
The stone circle is lit
up like a Christmas tree.
It's so nuts.
That is crazy!
After all the
scientific experiments
we've conducted over
the past four years,
one of the most
perplexing phenomenon
we've ever seen just
happened on Skinwalker Ranch.
As Blazing Bear performed
their ritual drum ceremony,
David Mason's thermal
camera recorded a massive
spike of heat over the spiral
of boulders on top of the mesa.
And according to the traditions
of the ancient
Indigenous nations here,
that formation was built
hundreds of years ago
to represent an
interdimensional portal.
Now let's watch now, that
they've stopped playing,
and see what happens.
Now look at it,
it's cooling off.
Yeah, yeah.
It heated up
while they were playing,
and now it's like it's
gradually cooling off.
That is fascinating. Why, why
suddenly at the stone
circle is this happening?
And now that it's quiet,
the screen just looks
uniform like you'd expect it to.
- Yeah.
- That's fascinating.
Hey, Travis, I want to
get your eyes on this.
All right.
So, when they're playing the drum only...
I do, in fact, get
a peak near 200,
- which is right in the range of that 192, 193...
- Yeah.
- That we were talking about.
- Right.
So, that resonance
that we've seen here before
does show up
as one of the frequencies
coming out of that drum.
Look at that!
Right as the drumming stopped,
the anomaly we were all seeing
on David Mason's thermal cameras
started to cool off.
But as Erik pointed out,
while the drummers were playing,
their sounds reached a
frequency of 192 hertz.
That's the same frequency
Erik played the other night
when we saw the UAP
from the exact same spot.
The odds of seeing an
anomaly on top of the mesa
while playing the
192 hertz frequency
at the same time
are truly incredible.
Could this be the frequency
that opens the rumored
portal in this area?
That's what we hope to find out.
I-I would like to ask them
to just play the drums softly.
Yep, yep, yep.
Could you guys play,
that song again
without the singing
and just play the drums?
We'd like to see
what that looks like.
Okay. Here we go.
So we're getting
a peak right at 192.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Look at that hotspot
forming right there.
Look at that spot right
there. Look at that spot.
Why is that one
spot getting hot?
Why would the rocks get warmer?
There's nothing to change that.
Two cold spots just popped in.
Did you hear anything over here?
Just heard something.
Hey, they told
me to let 'em know
- if I hear anything.
- Well, tell them.
Hey, Travis?
Yeah, John. Go ahead.
Um, so you told me to let
you know about anything, right?
Absolutely.
So...
keep hearing something up here.
It was like somebody
was, like, trying
to walk, like, real slow,
like kind of creep through.
Right here where
this big rock is,
behind it, we keep
seeing, like, a figure
or something over here that
keeps going back and forth.
- I'm going up on top...
- Yep. Yep.
In case there is
somebody up there.
Go, go, go, go, go.
All right. We're on our way.
Kaleb, you go to the
right, I'll go to the left.
Yep.
You got anything on that camera?
Nothing.
I'm just seeing the people.
I think somebody's crouched down
in one of these crevices.
There's no
tracks, there's nothing.
- So, um, Dragon?
- Yeah?
It's not up there.
- So the... It came from, like...
- Had to.
Like, right in here.
Right there is where I
keep seeing something.
I'm not sure what it is,
but that's where it's at.
What?
Yeah, something
keeps walking on those rocks, bro.
So what is this
right here? Look.
It's a kind of cold zone.
Yeah, we got
a cold spot right there.
Right where they're looking.
That's right by this boulder.
He's walking right to it.
So it's, like,
right over there, Dragon.
Why that spot?
That is crazy!
It's right there.
There is a cold
spot right there.
Dragon, there is a cold spot
right by where you're
shining the light.
Really?
There's nothing.
- What were you guys hearing?
- You know,
- somebody walking and just, like, rocks-rocks moving...
- Man.
- At the same time.
- Really? Yeah.
Like, from walking on 'em
and they just kind of rolling.
Like-like, trying to be quiet
- as they're walking, you know?
- Yeah.
- Just a little crunching and...
- Yep.
So it's, like,
right over there, Dragon.
You see anything, Kaleb?
No, there's
nothing up here, dude.
Yeah, there's nothing.
Erik and I were stunned
when members of Blazing Bear said
they saw some kind of
shadowy figure up on the ridge
just after we saw
thermal anomalies
by the spiral of boulders.
And what's really crazy is that
previous ranch investigators,
including my colleague from
the UAP Task Force, Jay Stratton,
and retired Army
Colonel John Alexander,
who both worked with
Robert Bigelow, described
these same kinds of phenomena
happening at Homestead Two
more than a decade ago.
You know, this is
pretty disturbing stuff.
How do you guys
feel about proceeding?
Because if you're
not comfortable,
- we can pull you back and we can be done.
- Yeah, so,
just kind of all night,
we've been hearing, like...
Even, like... Like, we
even kind of heard, like...
shuffling.
What we call those is,
shadow people.
Y-You can... you can
kind of make 'em out.
- Yeah, but you can't. Yeah.
- But-but you can't see 'em.
- Only in your peripheral vison, right?
- Yeah.
And, that's why I was
like, "All right, boys, we're...
we're done for the night."
That-that...
This place can freak you
out if you're not careful.
- And it...
- Trust me, we are that... to that point.
When John Ballard
informed us that the members
of Blazing Bear were
too uncomfortable
to keep playing
their ritual songs,
we had to respect their decision
and accept that the
experiment was over.
Well, with that,
we want you to come back.
- So we better get you out of here.
- Yeah.
Jon, appreciate you coming
out and helping us tonight, too.
Most tribal members won't
even talk about Skinwalker Ranch,
let alone come out
here and perform rituals
to poke the nest.
So we were nothing
but grateful to them.
We saw incredible phenomena,
and we collected tons of data
that we need to further
analyze as soon as possible.
- All right, guys, well, I appreciate it again.
- Okay. Thanks again.
- Appreciate it, guys. -Appreciate it.
- Appreciate it, John.
I've got some footage.
What have you got for us today?
Right now, I'm looking at
some high-speed video footage.
This is at 2,000
frames per second.
And you remember we saw
a dark object.
Yeah, yeah.
The next morning,
we gathered to review it all,
as well as some of the footage
from the prior sound
experiment that we conducted
earlier that week
out in the east field.
So we were trying to sort out
the, the distance to the
object, as well as the speed.
- Okay, so let me bring that up.
- I'm excited to see this again.
'Kay.
So, there's the object
moving from left to right.
That thing is traveling
at a ridiculous rate of speed.
Yeah, so if you
look at this dist...
When you zoom all the way
out, I remember out there looking,
we-we kind of did
a "Well, if it flew from
this part of the mesa
"all the way over here
to this part of the mesa
in this amount of time,"
it covered about a mile in,
a thousandth of a second,
if I remember that right.
If something went screaming
through our airspace
at that rate, we'd
hear something.
You know?
Play it till it goes all
the way offscreen.
To me, it almost looks
like it turns just ever so slightly.
Yeah.
It's definitely strange
that we were broadcasting
tonal frequencies right before
that UAP appeared
out of nowhere.
And then it traveled
more than a half-mile
in a thousandth of a second
before vanishing again.
Could it really
corroborate the ancient lore
about UAPs traveling in and
out of mesas through portals?
It's mind-boggling to
consider it as a possibility.
I do have some of Dave
Mason's FLIR footage
from the experiment.
I thought it might
be instructive
for us to look at it together.
That would be great.
Here are some neat highlights.
This interval
that I'm about to play is re...
One that really
caught my attention.
- Watch what happens...
- So they just start playing,
- it looks like.
- Yes, they're playing now.
Watch what happens.
Yeah, so we saw this out there
when it was
happening in real time.
Wow.
We done this with sound,
and we see a temperature change
when we've done it.
Now, I'm... We'd have
to do it a thousand times
to thoroughly convince myself
that it's the sound causing it.
- Right? But we certainly have...
- Yes.
Events now where it correlates.
When we have a sound, we
have a temperature change.
Now we're about to see
another event that
I found interesting.
Now look at what's
happening here.
So we've got the ridgeline.
Fairly well-defined.
And now look at this.
- There.
- Whoa,
- whoa, whoa, whoa.
- There it is.
Go back, go back, go back.
What is that?
That, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
So let's-let's back
that up a little bit.
See that?
- Wow, that's crazy.
- So those two things
coming out of the
sky there, going b...
To me, it looks like it's
going behind the mesa.
Back that up
and go through that again.
Sure.
Wow.
What is that?
I don't know how many
more times we can say
"We don't believe
what we just saw."
But while the Blazing Bear team
was performing their sound
frequency ritual last night,
the thermal camera
captured two bright orbs
flying above the petroglyph
and directly into the mesa
right at the spiral of boulders
that are meant to depict
an interdimensional portal.
It doesn't go in
front of the mesa.
You can clearly
see the line of the mesa,
and it's like there's something
going behind it there.
So what could that be?
Go back to where it...
- it-it's right at the ridgeline.
- Okay.
There's two of them.
Th-They're not the
exact same path.
But why do they stop
right there at the mesa,
at the ridgeline?
I mean, that's
really interesting.
So let's think about
what we were doing
when this happened.
There was one performance
that really set up and
indicated a resonance.
And you could see some
very well-defined peaks.
I can't help wondering whether
there might have been a...
- connection.
- Yeah.
So we've had really good
luck, if you want to call it that,
of seeing phenomena when we...
have sounds.
And, it makes me wonder,
is there a way that
we could maybe put
more energy into a spot to
see if something happens?
Where there's
potentially some kind of portal.
Like at the triangle.
- Right.
- Yeah. Like a big impulse of it or something.
Okay.
Something seems
to be interacting
with stuff over the triangle
from almost the ground up to...
5,000 feet or more.
If the portal theory is true,
it will take a massive
amount of energy to prove it.
And the place
where we've detected
the highest energy spikes
on the ranch is at the triangle.
We're maybe
looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
It's also where we saw
the blob just 31 feet high
that seemed to physically
destroy rockets and mortars.
So I think we need
to go back there
and poke that spot
harder than ever before.
It does seem to be energetic.
So how do we
illuminate that better
and-and understand
more of what it is?
You know, when
the rocket hit the thing
in the... in-in the
high-speed infrared camera,
it was clear once
the motor ignited,
the brightness from the
heat of the, engine
was illuminating something
in the sky above it.
And then of course
it gets to 31 feet,
and we all know what
happens there... it blows up.
- Yeah.
- But I'm thinking if it's the heat,
the infrared that's
painting it so we can see it,
- we need to hit it with a lot of heat.
- So, what,
like, get a flamethrower out
here or something like that?
Fire... I was thinking
fireworks, but a flamethrower's
probably a better idea.
Okay.
I liked your flamethrower idea.
Well, and you never know
what you're gonna see.
Like, with a flamethrower,
the cool thing is
it's gonna leave smoke, too.
And, well, basically,
as many ways as
we can come up with
to dump energy into that space
and look at what the
response is, I'm for it.
- For sure.
- That sounds great.
It sounds like a plan.
Or at least a formative plan.
It sounds awesome. Let me
know how I can assist you guys
in setting this up.
- Well, thanks, guys.
- Thank you. -Thank you, Erik.
Erik, this was
awesome stuff, man.
For every
experiment that we've done
to investigate or get
answers to questions,
the main thing that's
come from them
is a dozen more questions.
We have so much
more work here to do.
We have barely
touched the surface
of what could potentially be
going on here on the ranch.
I like to think of
these stimulation exercises
as a kind of handshake.
As if to say, "Hey, we're here,
"and there is
intelligent design.
"There is intent to observe,
"mutually, perhaps,
and, if possible,
even communicate."
I believe that what
we're witnessing on Skinwalker Ranch
is evidence that we live in
a multidimensional reality.
I think we're barely
scratching the surface
when it comes to
understanding the nature
of our world
and our existence.
What that means,
what that entails,
well, that's up
to us to discover.
Yeah, check this out, guys.
What I brought with
me is a flamethrower.
There's
something going on at 31 feet
right above the triangle.
Wow.
- Look at that!
- What?
This is unusual.
Tracking the space station now.
- You guys got it locked on?
- Yeah.
What just happened?
We lost the signal.
Are you serious?
Want to review the lidar data.
- What is that?
- That's the most amazing thing
I've ever seen out here.
