The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020–…): Season 4, Episode 9 - Something's Up - full transcript
An advanced radar experiment conducted high above the Mesa and Triangle reveals evidence that an incredible theory about Skinwalker Ranch could actually be true.
It's hitting something
really hard.
What could be hard enough
to be pushing back on that?
There is something in the mesa
right there.
Whatever this is is
as tall as the mesa.
Whoa! What was
that purple light over there?
- Looks like a deer.
- Look at this.
What the heck would
have burned this post?
You've got the five
lines converging
to a point down by the
tree behind the homestead,
and then the mesa is right
there where that GPR anomaly is.
We need to see what's
underneath the entire ranch.
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.
I think we're just
about past that second rock.
Hey, Thomas.
Yeah, go ahead.
I'm about 20
feet in with the drill,
but it's gonna
take a lot more time
- to reach the anomaly.
- Copy that.
For two weeks
now, our drill operator Joe Loeb
has been trying to
reach the 120-foot-tall,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we detected about 40
feet below the top of the mesa.
And since it's right
next to the massive
dome-shaped anomaly
that a much larger drill
rig couldn't penetrate,
we're hoping that Joe
can help us determine
just what's inside there.
Keep it running. We'll check
in with you a little bit later.
- Sounds good.
- While Joe Loeb continued
the drilling operation
on top of the mesa...
Your guests are here, Erik.
Erik Bard and
the other guys from the team
were meeting with
physicist Jeremiah Pate
and his colleagues
from Lunasonde.
Well, Jeremiah, it's been
a long time in the making.
Yeah, great to finally
be here in person.
With all the anomalies
that we've detected
inside the mesa,
under Homestead Two,
and in the air
above the triangle,
Erik hoped that the
specialized aerial technology
that Jeremiah invented
could scan those areas
and reveal some answers
above and below ground
about all the UAPs,
the energy spikes, and
the other phenomena
that we keep experiencing
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
So, tell me how
this is gonna work.
It's a very versatile
technology,
but essentially it's a
low-frequency radar.
Today we'll be flying
it on a weather balloon
that's actually gonna take
it up to about twice as high
as a jetliner, over 70,000 feet
- above the ranch...
- Wow.
And actually let us
see, potentially, kilometers
beneath the surface.
Did you say
- kilometers under the earth?
- Absolutely.
That's crazy.
- That's a long ways down.
- Yeah.
All of our sensors are attached
to a large
meteorological balloon.
This takes it up
to its final altitude
of around 70,000 feet.
Our technology works by
using low-frequency radio waves
to actually see
deeper into the planet
than anyone ever has before.
Ultimately, what we'll see
is actually what's known
as a tomographic image.
This is a true 3D
map of the subsurface.
This is incredible.
You know, for years,
decades, there's been rumors
on this property of underground
bases, tunnel systems.
Maybe we can put some
of these, rumors to bed
or-or maybe validate
'em. Who knows?
Exactly. We want to
peel back just a little bit
of the mystery today.
I think the triangle
will be a good dry, flat
area that we can stage from.
Plus, you know, this is an area
that's been of
great interest to us.
- Yeah, definitely.
- At the triangle,
it seems as though there
is something in the air
at varying heights that
we can't see with our eyes
but seems to show
up on equipment.
So, I know that you're looking
to see what's underground here.
Would it be able to
pick something up, say,
in the air as well?
Definitely. So, the
way these sensors work
is they measure both the
far field and the near field.
We'll actually be
able to measure
the air column directly above
the triangle as we ascend.
Well, there's our reason
for putting it in the triangle.
Absolutely. We've...
we've had some strange things
happen in that particular area.
This area above the triangle
has high strangeness to it.
We've seen rockets try to go
through this area and explode.
Three,
two, one.
That motor blew.
It exploded. No.
There is something in the air
above the triangle
on Skinwalker Ranch
that's causing all sorts
of strangeness to happen.
We got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.
But why?
We're trying to find answers
to what's going on here.
If you want to follow me out,
I'll lead you out to
the area where we can
- get you set up.
- Sounds great.
I have high expectations about
what we may be able to detect
with this Lunasonde technology.
Well, antenna one
is the B field antenna,
which is that guy there.
I'm hoping that
we'll be able to see
if, in fact, we have any
interesting structures
beneath Skinwalker Ranch.
Or even metal
deposits in the mesa.
And perhaps an
answer to the anomaly
just above the triangle.
I really don't know
what to expect.
Okay,
balloons ready for the fill.
Beginning fill.
So each of these
payloads you see here,
they each have a
very particular function.
- Okay.
- So, up here we have
a couple payloads
that are involved
in the actual tracking of
the overall balloon setup.
Down here,
this is another setup.
So, this, actually, is
a, camera setup
as well as some other
tracking equipment.
- Wow.
- Each payload
has a specified function,
and so our actual
experimental sensors,
each of them
measures a different part
of the electromagnetic field.
We have several cameras on board
that actually will
record the flight.
Wow, look at that.
Are we getting close to launch?
Yep. Balloon's
almost ready to go.
Perfect. I need to get
back to the control room.
I want to keep our assets
trained on, on your payloads.
Absolutely.
As we near launch,
I'm heading back to
the command center
so I can train some of
our surveillance cameras
on the sky and watch
that balloon as it ascends,
and observe whether there
is any strange interference
on the way up.
Okay, we're
releasing the balloon.
- Very careful.
- Hey, Erik?
Just giving you a heads-up,
we've started to
deploy the balloon
and slowly letting
up all the payloads.
Copy you. I can
see it ascending.
Fantastic.
Okay, I think we're good.
Go for launch.
And off it goes.
That is a heck of a payload.
Wow.
Now those
payloads are recording,
and we'll start
the tracking effort.
The Lunasonde team
will remotely control the balloon
as it ascends to
about 70,000 feet high
and scans the skies
and the grounds
of the entire ranch,
with a specific
focus on the triangle,
the mesa and Homestead Two.
Fantastic.
Once the survey is complete,
Jeremiah will remotely
deflate the balloon
and retrieve it along
with his devices.
It could take days
or even weeks to get
the aerial and underground
data fully processed,
but hopefully this will
get us the best data yet
of not only what could
be causing anomalies
above the ranch
but also underground
and in the mesa as well.
I'm impressed.
Hopefully the data
that comes back
is as impressive as
getting that thing in the air.
- Hey, Bryant. Hey, guys.
- Hey, man.
While Lunasonde conducted
the aerial survey
of the entire ranch...
This is a really good
friend of mine Kori Reed.
- Hey, Kori. I'm Bryant.
- How you doing?
Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde
met outside the command
center with Dragon
along with Kaleb
Bench and his colleague,
local deputy sheriff Kori Reed.
I worked with Kori
through law enforcement,
and he actually
investigated some things
over here on the
west side of the ranch.
And this happened, wha...
- How long ago did this happen?
- This was in the early 2000s
- when this happened.
- Okay.
I was with the tribal
fish and game at the time.
Tribal. Okay.
It's on the neighbor's property,
but you can see it
from your property.
Okay, so it's on
the west-side tribal property,
- but we can see it through the fence from our side.
- Correct.
Kori also happens to be a member
of the Indigenous Ute nation.
So, given their
well-known aversion
to speaking about
Skinwalker Ranch
or even coming near the
place, we were really eager
to hear what he investigated
and found in this area
as an officer of the law.
Yeah, well, let's get out there.
All right, yeah, we'll
follow you down.
I worked for the
tribe as a conservation officer
for 13 years, and that's when
I had the experiences out here
around the west side
of Skinwalker Ranch.
This looking
familiar to you, Kori?
Yep.
That's the spot right there.
Okay.
Owner of the property reported
they had two horses
that were dead.
They were dead for
about a couple days.
- Okay.
- And they were in this spot by the post.
Were they mature horses?
They were.
One horse was kind of right
in the center of all three posts.
The other one was on
the southeast corner.
They were cleaned
out from the inside.
There was no tissue,
no organs or nothing
like that on them.
Crazy.
It's interesting.
And there was
just some strange footprints
in the ground that
were around it.
What kind of footprints?
We found some
that had three toes on 'em.
And they were big?
They were about six inches.
Whatever it is,
nothing that we know of
that can make prints like that.
Right.
That's creepy.
Describe these
three-toed footprints.
Are we talking, like, wide
toes, are we talking, like,
- bird-looking tracks?
- They were probably about
the size of my hand right
there, just putting it down.
But they were all
equal-size toes.
So, there was like,
three digits off of one foot?
- Off of one foot.
- And they were, and they were big?
They were about six inches.
Wow.
Bizarre animal mutilations
have been reported on
Skinwalker Ranch for decades.
We've seen cows mysteriously
die out here ourselves.
What in the world?
And just in the
last couple weeks,
we've found two
mutilated deer carcasses
in the south field next to a
strangely burned fence post.
What the heck would
have burned this post?
And that was also where
we recently documented two UAPs
during nighttime experiments,
and then another
one in broad daylight.
- What?
- I don't know what to think about
the strange footprints that
Deputy Sheriff Reed reported,
but given what
other investigators
and our own team
have seen out here,
we need to keep
investigating everywhere,
from the mesa
to the south field,
in order to find out the
truth of what's causing
all these phenomena to happen.
We're both shaking
our heads when we left
'cause we didn't
know what happened.
Do you have photos or the report
- or anything like that?
- So...
I did the report, printed
off all the pictures,
um, went back a
few months later,
I could not find my
report or the pictures.
Someone didn't want
anyone to know about this.
Could be.
I've heard stories like
that, where someone has pictures
or they have an
experience like that
and they get video or something,
and they talk to
someone, um, above them
and they're told
to get rid of it.
I've heard the exact same thing.
I could tell
it was uncomfortable
for Kori to tell these stories,
but we really appreciate
these individuals
coming forward with these
what seem like outlandish tales,
but I can tell he believes
it and he experienced it.
We appreciate so much
your willingness to come out
and talk about this
different kind of stuff.
'Cause I know
it's not comfortable
- and it's not easy, so thank you.
- It's not,
- so, yeah.
- Thank you a lot.
- Appreciate it very much.
- You're welcome.
- Thanks for having me.
- Cool.
How's it going, guys?
- That is a lot of equipment.
- He's ready to roll.
He's got some
really cool stuff here.
A couple of nights later,
while we were waiting
for the data results
from the Lunasonde ranch survey,
we invited technologist
David Mason
and local fire management
officer Don Mitchell back out
to help us with a pretty
ambitious experiment
we wanted to conduct
between the triangle
and the south field.
Because we've documented
so many phenomena this year,
between the triangle,
where we saw the
blob-like anomaly,
Homestead Two, where
we uncovered lines
of strange materials
similar to what we've
found in the mesa,
and the south field, where
we've seen numerous UAPs
and found mutilated
deer carcasses,
we're hoping we can stimulate
more strange things to appear
but this time identify
just what they are.
So, what I've done
is I brought eight,
thermal-imaging cameras
and, two of them
are high-resolution.
So, if anything
anomalous appears,
just a-a slight
temperature change,
we'll be able to see it,
much more clearly
than just we... using
conventional,
- thermal camera technology.
- That is cool.
That is real cool. Awesome.
So, if it's got a thermal
signature, we're gonna get it.
Well, we've got
the truck loaded up,
the rockets are ready to go.
We're gonna head
out to the triangle
and get ready
for the first launch.
And, we'll give you a
call when we get out there.
- Okay. Sounds good.
- All right, guys.
Good luck, good hunting.
Kaleb and I have
converted a truck
into a mobile rocket
and mortar launcher.
We're gonna fire
off payloads reaching
more than 100 feet in the
air, starting at the triangle.
Meanwhile, David
Mason, Erik and the guys
will observe everything
using eight thermal cameras.
They'll be able
to detect anything
that might suddenly
change in temperature
and that we can't see
with the naked eye.
Depending on what happens
after our launches at the triangle,
we'll move to the south field
and repeat the experiment there.
It fits on there pretty good.
It's ratchet-strapped in,
it ain't going nowhere.
Since we're still waiting
for the aerial and
underground data results
from Lunasonde's
balloon experiment,
we're really hoping
that tonight we can get
the blob, more UAPs, or
who knows what to appear
and help us identify what
these phenomena are
and why they keep occurring
on Skinwalker Ranch.
All right.
This will be right dead
center of the triangle,
right under where...
- Right where the big one blew up.
- The rocket blew up. Yeah.
Right where the big
rocket blew up last year.
All right.
This is good to
go here. All right.
- We're gonna do both launch and mortar?
- Yeah, why not?
So, I'll get on this
side and launch it
if you get on that side
and fire off the mortars.
- Yep.
- That make sense?
Complete.
- Erik, you copy?
- Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Yeah, man, we're ready
to, launch a rocket,
and we're gonna fire
mortars at the same time.
Okay, stand by.
I'm gonna turn on
the 1.6 gigahertz sweep
and I'll give you the word.
Over the years, we've
encountered this signal
near 1.6 gigahertz.
I'm still trying to sort
out how that signal
is related to the
ranch phenomenon.
As if the rockets that
we're going to be launching
are not stimulus enough,
we will be broadcasting
a sweep of signals
around that 1.6 gigahertz range
that has drawn our
interest in the past.
All right, Travis,
we are broadcasting
the 1.6 gigahertz sweep.
We've got eyes
in every direction
and at every
available wavelength.
All right, then,
we're good to go.
- You ready to go, Dave?
- I'm ready to go.
Okay.
Go ahead and launch.
Rocket is
hot. Mortars are ready.
In five, four,
three, two, one.
Yeah, there go... There go...
They're running into each other!
That one just hit.
That rocket
flew right into that mortar.
How did that happen?
Wow.
That's crazy. I-I
don't know how to explain that.
It's falling pretty fast.
That's not good.
Wow.
Did you guys see that, too?
I got it on camera.
Yeah, Thomas had eyes on that.
The mortar went off right about
that 31-foot mark.
It looked like the
mortar went off
as the rocket was
flying through it.
Right after we launched
a rocket and a mortar to
stimulate the blob anomaly
31 feet above the triangle,
something clearly made the
mortar explode prematurely
and the rocket
break into pieces,
and it looked like
it happened exactly
at that 31-foot level.
The odds of that
happening are crazy.
We couldn't be sure what it was,
so I wanted to immediately
launch a series of mortars
directly through
that 31-foot zone
to see if they would hit
something or make something
clearly appear for
David's thermal cameras.
Hey, Erik, you copy?
Yeah. Go ahead.
We've got a, incendiary
that we've got mounted
on top of the launch tower
and we're gonna fire it,
and we're ready if you guys are.
Ready. Go ahead with the launch.
All right, here we go.
- That's about the right height.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's
got to be the right height.
There's something right there.
Travis, we're
examining a feature
in Dave's differential
FLIR camera.
This remarkable
differential thermal camera
forms an image,
we get a color that
corresponds to the temperature.
If anything should
come out as warmer,
it will become bright
yellow or even white.
What we're seeing here in
the thermal is an anomaly
that shows up warmer
than the surrounding area.
This is very interesting to me.
Where's the feature?
This would be to the
southwest of your position.
- Southwest of my position...
- So it'd be over the...
over that way.
We've been watching
this thing evolve for a while,
but it just doesn't make
a lot of sense to us.
When Erik and Thomas
said they could actually see
some kind of anomaly between
the south field and the triangle
through David's thermal camera,
I immediately looked
through a night vision scope
to see if I could spot it, too.
Yeah, I'm not seeing it
right now. Keep looking.
Yeah. That's kind
of an odd shape, too.
Since I couldn't see
through my night vision camera
what David's thermal
camera was imaging,
I thought it might be
something out of the ordinary.
Hey, Erik,
- do you guys copy?
- Yes, we do, Travis.
- Go ahead.
- So, I think we're gonna drive down
to the southeast
corner of the ranch
and launch this last
rocket almost due north
toward the helicopter pad
and see if we can bring it down
somewhere in
the east field here.
Copy that.
We'll reposition cameras.
All right, talk in a bit.
I really wanted to know
if we may have stimulated
another blob anomaly in the sky
between the triangle
and the south field.
So we needed to head
closer to that location
and conduct more launches to
see if we could get it to reappear
and verify what it was.
Whoa.
What was that?
There's a big
plane that just flew over us.
Yep, there
it is. You got one.
Hey, Erik, what flight was that
- that just went over us?
- Well, you know,
I don't have anything
directly over us.
I can still
see it. It's right there.
But it didn't have
normal aviation lights.
- No, it didn't.
- Okay.
So, I do have a
couple of aircraft off to the east.
I mean, it-it
was over top of the ranch.
Okay, well, I didn't have that.
Did you hear anything?
A little bit, but it
was mostly silent.
As the plane is flying
across the ranch,
it's very low and
it's not blinking
like an aircraft usually does.
And it's not showing up on
any of our ADS-B receivers.
It definitely makes it feel
like we're being surveilled.
Hey, Travis?
Do you have eyes on an aircraft?
We had a plane
go over top of us,
and it's not on
the flight tracker.
There is something.
Travis, this aircraft
is not transponding.
There's so many bugs,
I can't even tell
what I'm looking at.
But it's something right there.
What made this mysterious
plane incident even more eerie.
We got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.
The last time something
like that happened was when
the blob anomaly first
appeared above the triangle
and the rocket exploded.
We have a helicopter
right over the
triangle right now.
I am getting no helicopter
above the ranch on
the ADS-B receiver here.
Then, later, we found out
through Utah Attorney
General Sean Reyes
that it was actually a
military Black Hawk helicopter.
It's yet another experiment
where we have
aircraft in the air
that's not accounted
for on the ADS-B.
It's starting to become a habit.
Hey, guys, we're in
place, down here.
We're about to shoot,
some mortars
just to kind of get an
idea of the windage
on how to launch
the rocket from here.
Copy that.
You ready?
- Dave, are you set?
- Yeah.
Yes, we are ready.
All right, we're gonna
light the mortars in five,
four, three,
two, one.
There you go.
Yeah. Got it.
Do you see that right there?
- Thomas?
- Yeah.
I'd love to get
your eyes on this.
This one here.
We have been
tracking this light.
Travis.
We're trying
to identify an object
down on the south side
above the trees.
We're not quite sure
what we're looking at.
I think I'm picking it up on
the differential, FLIR.
- You're picking it up, too?
- Yeah.
That was where Erik was
seeing something in his camera.
I want to see this.
So, Travis,
we're also picking up
something on the thermal.
It was right, right here,
and that's where you saw
the luminous object
in-in one of your cameras,
that's where I po...
That's where I aimed it.
So, we have something
that's got a heat signature.
What could be down there?
Hey, Travis.
We're not quite sure
what we're looking at.
So, there's something somewhere.
I ain't seeing
nothing. I don't know.
Right after Kaleb
and I fired a mortar
from the southeast corner
of Skinwalker Ranch...
There it is again.
David Mason's
thermal cameras picked up
something strange
above the south field,
in the same area Erik
started seeing a light
on his infrared
surveillance camera.
And this is near the spot
where we've recently seen
a number of UAPs and
discovered the burnt post
and two mysterious
deer carcasses.
This is where you were
seeing that light source,
and I-I got it aimed.
This is a vehicle.
This is Travis.
These are the cows.
Now watch it again.
You'll see it just
start to manifest
just in that spot.
And you can see it pulsing.
Just blinks in and out as cold.
And now it's hotter.
It's changing temperature.
It goes cold or
warm, cold or warm.
Yeah, but why is it varying?
Wow.
We have something
in the thermographic camera
in the same location we
saw a light in the near infrared.
So, what are we seeing here?
What's causing this to happen?
That's what makes
this experiment
so interesting to
me, personally.
You see it?
Yeah, I'm not seeing it.
Hey, Tom, listen, do you copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Well, so, we
are trying to find the light,
but we're not
seeing it right now.
Are you guys ready for
us to launch a rocket?
Maybe we'll scare it out.
Yeah, go ahead.
All right, let me lock it down.
None of us knew what to
make of the thermal anomaly
that David's camera detected.
But we wondered
if it was something
that we had stimulated
with the mortar.
That just told me that we
needed to launch another rocket
and see what would happen next.
All right, we're getting
ready to launch this rocket.
Rocket is hot.
Five,
four, three,
two, one.
Got it.
I see the rocket trail,
but I don't see the
rock... there it is.
It's coming in hot.
- I could hear that.
- Yeah.
Gosh.
Do we still have
it? Are you seeing it?
It's faded out.
I don't think
it's there anymore.
Did it fade out
after the launch?
Yeah.
It disappeared.
Where'd it go?
Hey, Travis, that object
that we were looking at...
it's completely gone.
That's just so weird.
I say we, load up
and head back that way
and see what they've got.
Sounds good to me.
I think tonight was a success
because the experiment appears
to have triggered phenomena
both at the 31-foot
altitude above the triangle,
where we saw the blob-like
anomaly earlier this year,
and over the south field,
where so many other strange
things have recently happened.
Did you guys find whatever
that was down there?
We can't
- identify this thing.
- A-And so,
the thing that you're seeing
in your instrument, David,
do you think it's either
cold and getting hot...
- It's fluctuating.
- Okay.
Don't know why.
We had several different things
that, were confusing to us.
One was the first
rocket launch we did,
we believe that we heard
the, the chute deploy.
- We heard it.
- But here's the thing.
It looked to me like the rocket,
right at about 30 feet
above the launchpad,
hit the mortar shell.
That-That's, you
know, the odds of us...
We couldn't aim
and plan and do that.
That's like shooting
a bullet with a bullet.
That's... so shooting
a bullet with a bullet.
But think about that.
What are the odds
of that happening
right there at
31, 30-ish feet...
right where we've had this
other phenomena happening
with other rockets
in that same spot?
- That is weird.
- It's so weird.
It's not what we
were expecting to see,
- but, again, we see something...
- It rarely is.
We see something unexpected
- but weird, right?
- Right.
Well, let's clean up.
Were these anomalies connected?
What were they? And
where do they come from?
Since moments
after they appeared,
they simply just vanished.
Hopefully, once we see the
data recorded earlier this week
during the balloon radar scan,
we'll start to get some answers.
Thanks for coming out
and for your amazing equipment.
- This has been fantastic.
- Thank you.
Hey, Jeremiah.
Hi, everyone.
Great to talk to you all.
Hey, man, how you been?
Good, so we're really excited.
We've been working
and-and number-crunching.
We haven't even finished
processing the data
and we're seeing all these
strange things in the data
that we can't readily explain.
A few days after our
incredible nighttime experiment
between the triangle
and the south field,
we had a meeting with
Jeremiah Pate from Lunasonde
about the balloon radar scan.
Although the underground
data he and his team
collected earlier this
week wasn't ready yet,
Jeremiah had already
processed some of the data
that they collected in the air
above the triangle and the mesa.
We're excited to
see what you've got.
Yeah, absolutely. Share away.
So, the balloon launch
itself was a textbook flight.
The actual flight
was completely flawless.
Well, that's good news.
This gives you a sense
of how the balloon
rose over time.
Surprisingly, this was
an extremely smooth ascent,
so you would think nothing went
wrong with this balloon, right?
Everything looks
completely perfect here.
We should have had
a flawless data capture.
That brings me to my next point.
What you're looking at is
actually the raw data output.
And if you look
closely, you can see
there are these strange
jumps in the data set.
Looks like you have
jumps in the magnetic field
while at the same time
drops in the electric field.
They seem to almost
correlate with each other.
Exactly.
It's-it's unbelievable.
That's amazing.
Jeremiah's
data truly defies physics.
We're seeing the
magnetic field increased
while the electric
field decreased.
That doesn't naturally happen.
Typically, we would see both
fields rise and lower together
and the levels would
be nearly identical.
But the data shows, as
the balloon ascended,
it came in contact
with an extreme level
of magnetic energy that we have
no conventional explanation for.
This is something that Erik
and I have also seen happen
during other experiments
above the triangle.
Ignition.
Two years
ago, we launched rockets
over the triangle and watched
as the entire spectrum jumped.
That is unreal.
My God, during the launch,
the electromagnetic
spectrum is going crazy, guys.
I've never seen
anything like it.
So, now that Lunasonde
has also measured
this crazy magnetic and
electromagnetic anomaly
above the triangle, what
kind of phenomena could it be?
This is something that
we really can't explain,
and our team has spent,
hours upon hours
looking over this
data trying to come up
with an explanation
for what's causing this.
So, somewhere in the near
field, there were these very strong,
transient
electromagnetic fields.
What altitude were you
at when that happened?
The bulk of this data was
captured below 10,000 feet
where we encountered
these anomalies.
The data, um, evened out
and started to make
more sense above that.
So this really puts in context
the anomalies versus altitudes.
It gives you a sense
of where we started
to encounter those anomalies.
But you describe it as
suddenly calming down
a-aft... beyond
a certain altitude.
Um, what does
that make you think?
Well, it makes me think
there's a, a phenomena
that-that the instruments
are passing through.
- There's boundary layers to the phenomena.
- Right.
We wanted to know, if it
went through the anomaly,
if it may pick something up.
Obviously, something
messed with it.
We're looking at two of
the most important plots
- we've seen since we began, guys.
- Ever. Ever. Ever.
And this is right,
you launched from
the triangle, right?
- Yes, we did.
- And so, you went from zero
up through 10,000 feet,
and while you're doing that,
you're measuring huge
increases in the magnetic field
and huge decreases
in the electric field.
Exactly.
Wow.
It was unbelievable.
Above the triangle,
where we've seen
all kinds of strange things
between 31 and 5,000 feet,
like a blob, energy
spikes and UAPs,
Jeremiah's balloon scan
is showing something
that may be even stranger
at about 10,000 feet.
Are these separate
anomalies or are they all part
of the same phenomena?
From a physics perspective,
we do not know how
you would change
the entire electromagnetic
spectrum at once
across every frequency.
We don't... The only
thing that would do that
would be something
that affects everything.
All colors of light,
all-all radio dial...
And the only thing
that is, is gravity.
What could be there that we
don't see with the naked eye
that, for some reason,
we see in lidar, radar
and in the
electromagnetic field?
That's not natural.
- No.
- That's not a natural phenomenon.
Never heard of it, ever.
I mean, what the
hell is up there?
The preliminary data
that Jeremiah Pate and his
team from Lunasonde collected
above Skinwalker
Ranch is shocking.
They've detected
something above the triangle
that raises the magnetic field
while lowering
the electric field
of the environment
almost simultaneously.
That can't be natural,
and it could explain
all the GPS anomalies
we've experienced there.
The questions
now are: what is it,
how might it be
connected to the strange
communication signals
we've also detected,
and why do we keep
seeing UAPs there?
I think it'd
be interesting to correlate
the flight path
that you do have,
i-if that could
somehow be correlated
with the data that's showing up
- in this location.
- Yeah, absolutely.
As you see here,
this is the
approximate flight path
that the balloon took, and
we were able to fly over
some of the really important
features in the ranch,
including the triangle
as well as the ranch itself,
so we were able to collect
some very crucial data
- over these locations.
- Hey, hold it right there for a minute.
Thomas, correct me
if I'm understanding
what I'm looking
at, but is the...
the drill site not
about right here?
- Yep.
- Right here,
where the balloon crossed over,
where the GPR data tells us
there's an anomaly in the mesa,
right as it's over that,
look what happened.
The electric field jumped.
Right over where the metal's at.
Right over where we pulled
the metal out of the mesa.
When it's right there,
boom, the electric
field goes up.
- How about that?
- Wow.
- This is unbelievable.
- Wow.
Think about that.
It's just the
abruptness of these changes
that has just got me so floored.
- I mean...
- And the changes are from, like,
you know, one to
10,000, not like one to four.
Sure enough, Jeremiah's
data has now identified
gigantic magnetic
anomalies above the mesa.
And this is right over the
spot where we've been drilling
because we detected two
possibly metallic objects
inside the mesa.
One of which we believe
is shaped like a dome
and appears to contain materials
similar to what NASA uses
on the surface of
the space shuttle.
And the other is vertical
and over 100 feet tall.
What are we dealing with here?
These are huge
discontinuities, um,
and both the discontinuity
and the scale of it
is very surprising.
At the same time, we did have
some clock anomalies
of the triangle.
I've never seen anything
in any other data set
that resembles this.
Can you quantify it for us?
Because that might be important.
Yeah, so we lost a
quarter second of time.
Really?
That doesn't sound like much.
It does. For data
like this, it's huge.
Yeah, if light travels, you
know, a foot per nanosecond,
a quarter of a second, think
how much could happen there.
Absolutely. It's a, it's an
eternity for these electronics.
Yeah, and think what it
would do to your GPS signals,
to all of your processing.
My goodness, a
quarter of a second is huge.
We've been trying to
figure out how to measure
that time anomaly, and-and
you now have actual data
telling us there's a
quarter of a second
time anomaly over the triangle.
There's so... it's
like there's wrinkles
in space and time
over the triangle.
Nobody's ever measured any
anomaly like that on the planet.
Exactly.
Are we seeing
evidence of a portal?
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
some... whatever else.
I don't know, but
it's something.
To have these kinds of
electromagnetic anomalies
coupled with a time shift
of a quarter of a second
is astronomical.
Some scientists have suggested
that these types of anomalies
could be telltale signs of
a traversable wormhole,
or what some people
might call a portal.
Could we have just
discovered evidence
of what the Indigenous
people of the area
have claimed for centuries,
that interdimensional
portals exist
on Skinwalker Ranch?
- What are you seeing?
- A signal?
Could that
explain why Erik and I
have detected energy levels
that we don't know how
human technology can produce?
"1.60000."
Travis, you-you got to see this.
Or why we've seen UAPs ascend
from the direction of the
mesa up toward the triangle
and then simply
vanish into thin air?
My gosh.
A bend in space-time,
or a wormhole,
would theoretically
explain these things.
And now Jeremiah Pate has
detected the best evidence
I know of in human
history that this phenomena
could be a reality
on Skinwalker Ranch.
There is no part
of our investigation,
no part of the entire narrative
that isn't touched by this.
Everything. The
lidar, the radar,
the ground-penetrating
radar, the, helicopter...
- GPS, the...
- The GPS.
- All of it.
- Every measurement
- we have taken this summer.
- Yeah.
This is fascinating, Jeremiah,
and I can't wait to see,
the more processed data
and-and when you guys finish up.
Thank you so
much for doing this.
Yeah, the team and I are
gonna continue to crunch the data
and see what we can find.
And then we'll be
in touch really soon
with the results
of our analysis.
All right.
Well, we'll follow
up when you've got
the rest of that, that
data filtered and crunched
and, maybe we'll
have some imagery
of what's beneath
the soil, right?
Exactly.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Jeremiah.
See you later,
Jeremiah. Thanks a lot.
I think we've got
more and more verification
that there's an optical and a
temporal anomaly taking place,
which may be one and the same...
over the ranch, and
we need to continue with it.
- Well, all right, man.
- Crazy.
- Thank you.
- Fantastic experiment.
- Unbelievable.
- Absolutely fantastic.
A lot of our
experiments done at altitude
have produced
really strange results.
What could be generating
the strange effects
that we repeatedly experience
in the sky over the ranch?
I'd like the answer
to that, above all else.
Seeing this new
data showing anomalies
throughout the
skies above the ranch
really makes you wonder
if all the stories about
portals here over the
property could actually be true.
And moving forward
in our investigation,
we're not gonna stop
until we figure it out.
Strange phenomena
seems to be at a fever pitch
at Skinwalker Ranch.
What are we going
to find above the ranch
that will help us
find the answers to,
really, the nature of
the strange phenomena
that has plagued this area
for decades, if not millennia?
And now, more than ever
before, we are dedicated
and focused on getting
to the bottom of the truth.
There's
something screaming across here.
- Holy crap.
- Look at this thing.
Guys, that's 3,600
miles per hour.
I want to do focused
sound experiments.
The stone circle is lit
up like a Christmas tree.
That is crazy.
We keep seeing a figure
that keeps going back and forth.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- I'm going up on top. Yep.
- Yep, in case there's somebody up there.
All right, we're on our way.
really hard.
What could be hard enough
to be pushing back on that?
There is something in the mesa
right there.
Whatever this is is
as tall as the mesa.
Whoa! What was
that purple light over there?
- Looks like a deer.
- Look at this.
What the heck would
have burned this post?
You've got the five
lines converging
to a point down by the
tree behind the homestead,
and then the mesa is right
there where that GPR anomaly is.
We need to see what's
underneath the entire ranch.
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.
I think we're just
about past that second rock.
Hey, Thomas.
Yeah, go ahead.
I'm about 20
feet in with the drill,
but it's gonna
take a lot more time
- to reach the anomaly.
- Copy that.
For two weeks
now, our drill operator Joe Loeb
has been trying to
reach the 120-foot-tall,
possibly metallic anomaly
that we detected about 40
feet below the top of the mesa.
And since it's right
next to the massive
dome-shaped anomaly
that a much larger drill
rig couldn't penetrate,
we're hoping that Joe
can help us determine
just what's inside there.
Keep it running. We'll check
in with you a little bit later.
- Sounds good.
- While Joe Loeb continued
the drilling operation
on top of the mesa...
Your guests are here, Erik.
Erik Bard and
the other guys from the team
were meeting with
physicist Jeremiah Pate
and his colleagues
from Lunasonde.
Well, Jeremiah, it's been
a long time in the making.
Yeah, great to finally
be here in person.
With all the anomalies
that we've detected
inside the mesa,
under Homestead Two,
and in the air
above the triangle,
Erik hoped that the
specialized aerial technology
that Jeremiah invented
could scan those areas
and reveal some answers
above and below ground
about all the UAPs,
the energy spikes, and
the other phenomena
that we keep experiencing
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
So, tell me how
this is gonna work.
It's a very versatile
technology,
but essentially it's a
low-frequency radar.
Today we'll be flying
it on a weather balloon
that's actually gonna take
it up to about twice as high
as a jetliner, over 70,000 feet
- above the ranch...
- Wow.
And actually let us
see, potentially, kilometers
beneath the surface.
Did you say
- kilometers under the earth?
- Absolutely.
That's crazy.
- That's a long ways down.
- Yeah.
All of our sensors are attached
to a large
meteorological balloon.
This takes it up
to its final altitude
of around 70,000 feet.
Our technology works by
using low-frequency radio waves
to actually see
deeper into the planet
than anyone ever has before.
Ultimately, what we'll see
is actually what's known
as a tomographic image.
This is a true 3D
map of the subsurface.
This is incredible.
You know, for years,
decades, there's been rumors
on this property of underground
bases, tunnel systems.
Maybe we can put some
of these, rumors to bed
or-or maybe validate
'em. Who knows?
Exactly. We want to
peel back just a little bit
of the mystery today.
I think the triangle
will be a good dry, flat
area that we can stage from.
Plus, you know, this is an area
that's been of
great interest to us.
- Yeah, definitely.
- At the triangle,
it seems as though there
is something in the air
at varying heights that
we can't see with our eyes
but seems to show
up on equipment.
So, I know that you're looking
to see what's underground here.
Would it be able to
pick something up, say,
in the air as well?
Definitely. So, the
way these sensors work
is they measure both the
far field and the near field.
We'll actually be
able to measure
the air column directly above
the triangle as we ascend.
Well, there's our reason
for putting it in the triangle.
Absolutely. We've...
we've had some strange things
happen in that particular area.
This area above the triangle
has high strangeness to it.
We've seen rockets try to go
through this area and explode.
Three,
two, one.
That motor blew.
It exploded. No.
There is something in the air
above the triangle
on Skinwalker Ranch
that's causing all sorts
of strangeness to happen.
We got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.
But why?
We're trying to find answers
to what's going on here.
If you want to follow me out,
I'll lead you out to
the area where we can
- get you set up.
- Sounds great.
I have high expectations about
what we may be able to detect
with this Lunasonde technology.
Well, antenna one
is the B field antenna,
which is that guy there.
I'm hoping that
we'll be able to see
if, in fact, we have any
interesting structures
beneath Skinwalker Ranch.
Or even metal
deposits in the mesa.
And perhaps an
answer to the anomaly
just above the triangle.
I really don't know
what to expect.
Okay,
balloons ready for the fill.
Beginning fill.
So each of these
payloads you see here,
they each have a
very particular function.
- Okay.
- So, up here we have
a couple payloads
that are involved
in the actual tracking of
the overall balloon setup.
Down here,
this is another setup.
So, this, actually, is
a, camera setup
as well as some other
tracking equipment.
- Wow.
- Each payload
has a specified function,
and so our actual
experimental sensors,
each of them
measures a different part
of the electromagnetic field.
We have several cameras on board
that actually will
record the flight.
Wow, look at that.
Are we getting close to launch?
Yep. Balloon's
almost ready to go.
Perfect. I need to get
back to the control room.
I want to keep our assets
trained on, on your payloads.
Absolutely.
As we near launch,
I'm heading back to
the command center
so I can train some of
our surveillance cameras
on the sky and watch
that balloon as it ascends,
and observe whether there
is any strange interference
on the way up.
Okay, we're
releasing the balloon.
- Very careful.
- Hey, Erik?
Just giving you a heads-up,
we've started to
deploy the balloon
and slowly letting
up all the payloads.
Copy you. I can
see it ascending.
Fantastic.
Okay, I think we're good.
Go for launch.
And off it goes.
That is a heck of a payload.
Wow.
Now those
payloads are recording,
and we'll start
the tracking effort.
The Lunasonde team
will remotely control the balloon
as it ascends to
about 70,000 feet high
and scans the skies
and the grounds
of the entire ranch,
with a specific
focus on the triangle,
the mesa and Homestead Two.
Fantastic.
Once the survey is complete,
Jeremiah will remotely
deflate the balloon
and retrieve it along
with his devices.
It could take days
or even weeks to get
the aerial and underground
data fully processed,
but hopefully this will
get us the best data yet
of not only what could
be causing anomalies
above the ranch
but also underground
and in the mesa as well.
I'm impressed.
Hopefully the data
that comes back
is as impressive as
getting that thing in the air.
- Hey, Bryant. Hey, guys.
- Hey, man.
While Lunasonde conducted
the aerial survey
of the entire ranch...
This is a really good
friend of mine Kori Reed.
- Hey, Kori. I'm Bryant.
- How you doing?
Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde
met outside the command
center with Dragon
along with Kaleb
Bench and his colleague,
local deputy sheriff Kori Reed.
I worked with Kori
through law enforcement,
and he actually
investigated some things
over here on the
west side of the ranch.
And this happened, wha...
- How long ago did this happen?
- This was in the early 2000s
- when this happened.
- Okay.
I was with the tribal
fish and game at the time.
Tribal. Okay.
It's on the neighbor's property,
but you can see it
from your property.
Okay, so it's on
the west-side tribal property,
- but we can see it through the fence from our side.
- Correct.
Kori also happens to be a member
of the Indigenous Ute nation.
So, given their
well-known aversion
to speaking about
Skinwalker Ranch
or even coming near the
place, we were really eager
to hear what he investigated
and found in this area
as an officer of the law.
Yeah, well, let's get out there.
All right, yeah, we'll
follow you down.
I worked for the
tribe as a conservation officer
for 13 years, and that's when
I had the experiences out here
around the west side
of Skinwalker Ranch.
This looking
familiar to you, Kori?
Yep.
That's the spot right there.
Okay.
Owner of the property reported
they had two horses
that were dead.
They were dead for
about a couple days.
- Okay.
- And they were in this spot by the post.
Were they mature horses?
They were.
One horse was kind of right
in the center of all three posts.
The other one was on
the southeast corner.
They were cleaned
out from the inside.
There was no tissue,
no organs or nothing
like that on them.
Crazy.
It's interesting.
And there was
just some strange footprints
in the ground that
were around it.
What kind of footprints?
We found some
that had three toes on 'em.
And they were big?
They were about six inches.
Whatever it is,
nothing that we know of
that can make prints like that.
Right.
That's creepy.
Describe these
three-toed footprints.
Are we talking, like, wide
toes, are we talking, like,
- bird-looking tracks?
- They were probably about
the size of my hand right
there, just putting it down.
But they were all
equal-size toes.
So, there was like,
three digits off of one foot?
- Off of one foot.
- And they were, and they were big?
They were about six inches.
Wow.
Bizarre animal mutilations
have been reported on
Skinwalker Ranch for decades.
We've seen cows mysteriously
die out here ourselves.
What in the world?
And just in the
last couple weeks,
we've found two
mutilated deer carcasses
in the south field next to a
strangely burned fence post.
What the heck would
have burned this post?
And that was also where
we recently documented two UAPs
during nighttime experiments,
and then another
one in broad daylight.
- What?
- I don't know what to think about
the strange footprints that
Deputy Sheriff Reed reported,
but given what
other investigators
and our own team
have seen out here,
we need to keep
investigating everywhere,
from the mesa
to the south field,
in order to find out the
truth of what's causing
all these phenomena to happen.
We're both shaking
our heads when we left
'cause we didn't
know what happened.
Do you have photos or the report
- or anything like that?
- So...
I did the report, printed
off all the pictures,
um, went back a
few months later,
I could not find my
report or the pictures.
Someone didn't want
anyone to know about this.
Could be.
I've heard stories like
that, where someone has pictures
or they have an
experience like that
and they get video or something,
and they talk to
someone, um, above them
and they're told
to get rid of it.
I've heard the exact same thing.
I could tell
it was uncomfortable
for Kori to tell these stories,
but we really appreciate
these individuals
coming forward with these
what seem like outlandish tales,
but I can tell he believes
it and he experienced it.
We appreciate so much
your willingness to come out
and talk about this
different kind of stuff.
'Cause I know
it's not comfortable
- and it's not easy, so thank you.
- It's not,
- so, yeah.
- Thank you a lot.
- Appreciate it very much.
- You're welcome.
- Thanks for having me.
- Cool.
How's it going, guys?
- That is a lot of equipment.
- He's ready to roll.
He's got some
really cool stuff here.
A couple of nights later,
while we were waiting
for the data results
from the Lunasonde ranch survey,
we invited technologist
David Mason
and local fire management
officer Don Mitchell back out
to help us with a pretty
ambitious experiment
we wanted to conduct
between the triangle
and the south field.
Because we've documented
so many phenomena this year,
between the triangle,
where we saw the
blob-like anomaly,
Homestead Two, where
we uncovered lines
of strange materials
similar to what we've
found in the mesa,
and the south field, where
we've seen numerous UAPs
and found mutilated
deer carcasses,
we're hoping we can stimulate
more strange things to appear
but this time identify
just what they are.
So, what I've done
is I brought eight,
thermal-imaging cameras
and, two of them
are high-resolution.
So, if anything
anomalous appears,
just a-a slight
temperature change,
we'll be able to see it,
much more clearly
than just we... using
conventional,
- thermal camera technology.
- That is cool.
That is real cool. Awesome.
So, if it's got a thermal
signature, we're gonna get it.
Well, we've got
the truck loaded up,
the rockets are ready to go.
We're gonna head
out to the triangle
and get ready
for the first launch.
And, we'll give you a
call when we get out there.
- Okay. Sounds good.
- All right, guys.
Good luck, good hunting.
Kaleb and I have
converted a truck
into a mobile rocket
and mortar launcher.
We're gonna fire
off payloads reaching
more than 100 feet in the
air, starting at the triangle.
Meanwhile, David
Mason, Erik and the guys
will observe everything
using eight thermal cameras.
They'll be able
to detect anything
that might suddenly
change in temperature
and that we can't see
with the naked eye.
Depending on what happens
after our launches at the triangle,
we'll move to the south field
and repeat the experiment there.
It fits on there pretty good.
It's ratchet-strapped in,
it ain't going nowhere.
Since we're still waiting
for the aerial and
underground data results
from Lunasonde's
balloon experiment,
we're really hoping
that tonight we can get
the blob, more UAPs, or
who knows what to appear
and help us identify what
these phenomena are
and why they keep occurring
on Skinwalker Ranch.
All right.
This will be right dead
center of the triangle,
right under where...
- Right where the big one blew up.
- The rocket blew up. Yeah.
Right where the big
rocket blew up last year.
All right.
This is good to
go here. All right.
- We're gonna do both launch and mortar?
- Yeah, why not?
So, I'll get on this
side and launch it
if you get on that side
and fire off the mortars.
- Yep.
- That make sense?
Complete.
- Erik, you copy?
- Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Yeah, man, we're ready
to, launch a rocket,
and we're gonna fire
mortars at the same time.
Okay, stand by.
I'm gonna turn on
the 1.6 gigahertz sweep
and I'll give you the word.
Over the years, we've
encountered this signal
near 1.6 gigahertz.
I'm still trying to sort
out how that signal
is related to the
ranch phenomenon.
As if the rockets that
we're going to be launching
are not stimulus enough,
we will be broadcasting
a sweep of signals
around that 1.6 gigahertz range
that has drawn our
interest in the past.
All right, Travis,
we are broadcasting
the 1.6 gigahertz sweep.
We've got eyes
in every direction
and at every
available wavelength.
All right, then,
we're good to go.
- You ready to go, Dave?
- I'm ready to go.
Okay.
Go ahead and launch.
Rocket is
hot. Mortars are ready.
In five, four,
three, two, one.
Yeah, there go... There go...
They're running into each other!
That one just hit.
That rocket
flew right into that mortar.
How did that happen?
Wow.
That's crazy. I-I
don't know how to explain that.
It's falling pretty fast.
That's not good.
Wow.
Did you guys see that, too?
I got it on camera.
Yeah, Thomas had eyes on that.
The mortar went off right about
that 31-foot mark.
It looked like the
mortar went off
as the rocket was
flying through it.
Right after we launched
a rocket and a mortar to
stimulate the blob anomaly
31 feet above the triangle,
something clearly made the
mortar explode prematurely
and the rocket
break into pieces,
and it looked like
it happened exactly
at that 31-foot level.
The odds of that
happening are crazy.
We couldn't be sure what it was,
so I wanted to immediately
launch a series of mortars
directly through
that 31-foot zone
to see if they would hit
something or make something
clearly appear for
David's thermal cameras.
Hey, Erik, you copy?
Yeah. Go ahead.
We've got a, incendiary
that we've got mounted
on top of the launch tower
and we're gonna fire it,
and we're ready if you guys are.
Ready. Go ahead with the launch.
All right, here we go.
- That's about the right height.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's
got to be the right height.
There's something right there.
Travis, we're
examining a feature
in Dave's differential
FLIR camera.
This remarkable
differential thermal camera
forms an image,
we get a color that
corresponds to the temperature.
If anything should
come out as warmer,
it will become bright
yellow or even white.
What we're seeing here in
the thermal is an anomaly
that shows up warmer
than the surrounding area.
This is very interesting to me.
Where's the feature?
This would be to the
southwest of your position.
- Southwest of my position...
- So it'd be over the...
over that way.
We've been watching
this thing evolve for a while,
but it just doesn't make
a lot of sense to us.
When Erik and Thomas
said they could actually see
some kind of anomaly between
the south field and the triangle
through David's thermal camera,
I immediately looked
through a night vision scope
to see if I could spot it, too.
Yeah, I'm not seeing it
right now. Keep looking.
Yeah. That's kind
of an odd shape, too.
Since I couldn't see
through my night vision camera
what David's thermal
camera was imaging,
I thought it might be
something out of the ordinary.
Hey, Erik,
- do you guys copy?
- Yes, we do, Travis.
- Go ahead.
- So, I think we're gonna drive down
to the southeast
corner of the ranch
and launch this last
rocket almost due north
toward the helicopter pad
and see if we can bring it down
somewhere in
the east field here.
Copy that.
We'll reposition cameras.
All right, talk in a bit.
I really wanted to know
if we may have stimulated
another blob anomaly in the sky
between the triangle
and the south field.
So we needed to head
closer to that location
and conduct more launches to
see if we could get it to reappear
and verify what it was.
Whoa.
What was that?
There's a big
plane that just flew over us.
Yep, there
it is. You got one.
Hey, Erik, what flight was that
- that just went over us?
- Well, you know,
I don't have anything
directly over us.
I can still
see it. It's right there.
But it didn't have
normal aviation lights.
- No, it didn't.
- Okay.
So, I do have a
couple of aircraft off to the east.
I mean, it-it
was over top of the ranch.
Okay, well, I didn't have that.
Did you hear anything?
A little bit, but it
was mostly silent.
As the plane is flying
across the ranch,
it's very low and
it's not blinking
like an aircraft usually does.
And it's not showing up on
any of our ADS-B receivers.
It definitely makes it feel
like we're being surveilled.
Hey, Travis?
Do you have eyes on an aircraft?
We had a plane
go over top of us,
and it's not on
the flight tracker.
There is something.
Travis, this aircraft
is not transponding.
There's so many bugs,
I can't even tell
what I'm looking at.
But it's something right there.
What made this mysterious
plane incident even more eerie.
We got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.
The last time something
like that happened was when
the blob anomaly first
appeared above the triangle
and the rocket exploded.
We have a helicopter
right over the
triangle right now.
I am getting no helicopter
above the ranch on
the ADS-B receiver here.
Then, later, we found out
through Utah Attorney
General Sean Reyes
that it was actually a
military Black Hawk helicopter.
It's yet another experiment
where we have
aircraft in the air
that's not accounted
for on the ADS-B.
It's starting to become a habit.
Hey, guys, we're in
place, down here.
We're about to shoot,
some mortars
just to kind of get an
idea of the windage
on how to launch
the rocket from here.
Copy that.
You ready?
- Dave, are you set?
- Yeah.
Yes, we are ready.
All right, we're gonna
light the mortars in five,
four, three,
two, one.
There you go.
Yeah. Got it.
Do you see that right there?
- Thomas?
- Yeah.
I'd love to get
your eyes on this.
This one here.
We have been
tracking this light.
Travis.
We're trying
to identify an object
down on the south side
above the trees.
We're not quite sure
what we're looking at.
I think I'm picking it up on
the differential, FLIR.
- You're picking it up, too?
- Yeah.
That was where Erik was
seeing something in his camera.
I want to see this.
So, Travis,
we're also picking up
something on the thermal.
It was right, right here,
and that's where you saw
the luminous object
in-in one of your cameras,
that's where I po...
That's where I aimed it.
So, we have something
that's got a heat signature.
What could be down there?
Hey, Travis.
We're not quite sure
what we're looking at.
So, there's something somewhere.
I ain't seeing
nothing. I don't know.
Right after Kaleb
and I fired a mortar
from the southeast corner
of Skinwalker Ranch...
There it is again.
David Mason's
thermal cameras picked up
something strange
above the south field,
in the same area Erik
started seeing a light
on his infrared
surveillance camera.
And this is near the spot
where we've recently seen
a number of UAPs and
discovered the burnt post
and two mysterious
deer carcasses.
This is where you were
seeing that light source,
and I-I got it aimed.
This is a vehicle.
This is Travis.
These are the cows.
Now watch it again.
You'll see it just
start to manifest
just in that spot.
And you can see it pulsing.
Just blinks in and out as cold.
And now it's hotter.
It's changing temperature.
It goes cold or
warm, cold or warm.
Yeah, but why is it varying?
Wow.
We have something
in the thermographic camera
in the same location we
saw a light in the near infrared.
So, what are we seeing here?
What's causing this to happen?
That's what makes
this experiment
so interesting to
me, personally.
You see it?
Yeah, I'm not seeing it.
Hey, Tom, listen, do you copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Well, so, we
are trying to find the light,
but we're not
seeing it right now.
Are you guys ready for
us to launch a rocket?
Maybe we'll scare it out.
Yeah, go ahead.
All right, let me lock it down.
None of us knew what to
make of the thermal anomaly
that David's camera detected.
But we wondered
if it was something
that we had stimulated
with the mortar.
That just told me that we
needed to launch another rocket
and see what would happen next.
All right, we're getting
ready to launch this rocket.
Rocket is hot.
Five,
four, three,
two, one.
Got it.
I see the rocket trail,
but I don't see the
rock... there it is.
It's coming in hot.
- I could hear that.
- Yeah.
Gosh.
Do we still have
it? Are you seeing it?
It's faded out.
I don't think
it's there anymore.
Did it fade out
after the launch?
Yeah.
It disappeared.
Where'd it go?
Hey, Travis, that object
that we were looking at...
it's completely gone.
That's just so weird.
I say we, load up
and head back that way
and see what they've got.
Sounds good to me.
I think tonight was a success
because the experiment appears
to have triggered phenomena
both at the 31-foot
altitude above the triangle,
where we saw the blob-like
anomaly earlier this year,
and over the south field,
where so many other strange
things have recently happened.
Did you guys find whatever
that was down there?
We can't
- identify this thing.
- A-And so,
the thing that you're seeing
in your instrument, David,
do you think it's either
cold and getting hot...
- It's fluctuating.
- Okay.
Don't know why.
We had several different things
that, were confusing to us.
One was the first
rocket launch we did,
we believe that we heard
the, the chute deploy.
- We heard it.
- But here's the thing.
It looked to me like the rocket,
right at about 30 feet
above the launchpad,
hit the mortar shell.
That-That's, you
know, the odds of us...
We couldn't aim
and plan and do that.
That's like shooting
a bullet with a bullet.
That's... so shooting
a bullet with a bullet.
But think about that.
What are the odds
of that happening
right there at
31, 30-ish feet...
right where we've had this
other phenomena happening
with other rockets
in that same spot?
- That is weird.
- It's so weird.
It's not what we
were expecting to see,
- but, again, we see something...
- It rarely is.
We see something unexpected
- but weird, right?
- Right.
Well, let's clean up.
Were these anomalies connected?
What were they? And
where do they come from?
Since moments
after they appeared,
they simply just vanished.
Hopefully, once we see the
data recorded earlier this week
during the balloon radar scan,
we'll start to get some answers.
Thanks for coming out
and for your amazing equipment.
- This has been fantastic.
- Thank you.
Hey, Jeremiah.
Hi, everyone.
Great to talk to you all.
Hey, man, how you been?
Good, so we're really excited.
We've been working
and-and number-crunching.
We haven't even finished
processing the data
and we're seeing all these
strange things in the data
that we can't readily explain.
A few days after our
incredible nighttime experiment
between the triangle
and the south field,
we had a meeting with
Jeremiah Pate from Lunasonde
about the balloon radar scan.
Although the underground
data he and his team
collected earlier this
week wasn't ready yet,
Jeremiah had already
processed some of the data
that they collected in the air
above the triangle and the mesa.
We're excited to
see what you've got.
Yeah, absolutely. Share away.
So, the balloon launch
itself was a textbook flight.
The actual flight
was completely flawless.
Well, that's good news.
This gives you a sense
of how the balloon
rose over time.
Surprisingly, this was
an extremely smooth ascent,
so you would think nothing went
wrong with this balloon, right?
Everything looks
completely perfect here.
We should have had
a flawless data capture.
That brings me to my next point.
What you're looking at is
actually the raw data output.
And if you look
closely, you can see
there are these strange
jumps in the data set.
Looks like you have
jumps in the magnetic field
while at the same time
drops in the electric field.
They seem to almost
correlate with each other.
Exactly.
It's-it's unbelievable.
That's amazing.
Jeremiah's
data truly defies physics.
We're seeing the
magnetic field increased
while the electric
field decreased.
That doesn't naturally happen.
Typically, we would see both
fields rise and lower together
and the levels would
be nearly identical.
But the data shows, as
the balloon ascended,
it came in contact
with an extreme level
of magnetic energy that we have
no conventional explanation for.
This is something that Erik
and I have also seen happen
during other experiments
above the triangle.
Ignition.
Two years
ago, we launched rockets
over the triangle and watched
as the entire spectrum jumped.
That is unreal.
My God, during the launch,
the electromagnetic
spectrum is going crazy, guys.
I've never seen
anything like it.
So, now that Lunasonde
has also measured
this crazy magnetic and
electromagnetic anomaly
above the triangle, what
kind of phenomena could it be?
This is something that
we really can't explain,
and our team has spent,
hours upon hours
looking over this
data trying to come up
with an explanation
for what's causing this.
So, somewhere in the near
field, there were these very strong,
transient
electromagnetic fields.
What altitude were you
at when that happened?
The bulk of this data was
captured below 10,000 feet
where we encountered
these anomalies.
The data, um, evened out
and started to make
more sense above that.
So this really puts in context
the anomalies versus altitudes.
It gives you a sense
of where we started
to encounter those anomalies.
But you describe it as
suddenly calming down
a-aft... beyond
a certain altitude.
Um, what does
that make you think?
Well, it makes me think
there's a, a phenomena
that-that the instruments
are passing through.
- There's boundary layers to the phenomena.
- Right.
We wanted to know, if it
went through the anomaly,
if it may pick something up.
Obviously, something
messed with it.
We're looking at two of
the most important plots
- we've seen since we began, guys.
- Ever. Ever. Ever.
And this is right,
you launched from
the triangle, right?
- Yes, we did.
- And so, you went from zero
up through 10,000 feet,
and while you're doing that,
you're measuring huge
increases in the magnetic field
and huge decreases
in the electric field.
Exactly.
Wow.
It was unbelievable.
Above the triangle,
where we've seen
all kinds of strange things
between 31 and 5,000 feet,
like a blob, energy
spikes and UAPs,
Jeremiah's balloon scan
is showing something
that may be even stranger
at about 10,000 feet.
Are these separate
anomalies or are they all part
of the same phenomena?
From a physics perspective,
we do not know how
you would change
the entire electromagnetic
spectrum at once
across every frequency.
We don't... The only
thing that would do that
would be something
that affects everything.
All colors of light,
all-all radio dial...
And the only thing
that is, is gravity.
What could be there that we
don't see with the naked eye
that, for some reason,
we see in lidar, radar
and in the
electromagnetic field?
That's not natural.
- No.
- That's not a natural phenomenon.
Never heard of it, ever.
I mean, what the
hell is up there?
The preliminary data
that Jeremiah Pate and his
team from Lunasonde collected
above Skinwalker
Ranch is shocking.
They've detected
something above the triangle
that raises the magnetic field
while lowering
the electric field
of the environment
almost simultaneously.
That can't be natural,
and it could explain
all the GPS anomalies
we've experienced there.
The questions
now are: what is it,
how might it be
connected to the strange
communication signals
we've also detected,
and why do we keep
seeing UAPs there?
I think it'd
be interesting to correlate
the flight path
that you do have,
i-if that could
somehow be correlated
with the data that's showing up
- in this location.
- Yeah, absolutely.
As you see here,
this is the
approximate flight path
that the balloon took, and
we were able to fly over
some of the really important
features in the ranch,
including the triangle
as well as the ranch itself,
so we were able to collect
some very crucial data
- over these locations.
- Hey, hold it right there for a minute.
Thomas, correct me
if I'm understanding
what I'm looking
at, but is the...
the drill site not
about right here?
- Yep.
- Right here,
where the balloon crossed over,
where the GPR data tells us
there's an anomaly in the mesa,
right as it's over that,
look what happened.
The electric field jumped.
Right over where the metal's at.
Right over where we pulled
the metal out of the mesa.
When it's right there,
boom, the electric
field goes up.
- How about that?
- Wow.
- This is unbelievable.
- Wow.
Think about that.
It's just the
abruptness of these changes
that has just got me so floored.
- I mean...
- And the changes are from, like,
you know, one to
10,000, not like one to four.
Sure enough, Jeremiah's
data has now identified
gigantic magnetic
anomalies above the mesa.
And this is right over the
spot where we've been drilling
because we detected two
possibly metallic objects
inside the mesa.
One of which we believe
is shaped like a dome
and appears to contain materials
similar to what NASA uses
on the surface of
the space shuttle.
And the other is vertical
and over 100 feet tall.
What are we dealing with here?
These are huge
discontinuities, um,
and both the discontinuity
and the scale of it
is very surprising.
At the same time, we did have
some clock anomalies
of the triangle.
I've never seen anything
in any other data set
that resembles this.
Can you quantify it for us?
Because that might be important.
Yeah, so we lost a
quarter second of time.
Really?
That doesn't sound like much.
It does. For data
like this, it's huge.
Yeah, if light travels, you
know, a foot per nanosecond,
a quarter of a second, think
how much could happen there.
Absolutely. It's a, it's an
eternity for these electronics.
Yeah, and think what it
would do to your GPS signals,
to all of your processing.
My goodness, a
quarter of a second is huge.
We've been trying to
figure out how to measure
that time anomaly, and-and
you now have actual data
telling us there's a
quarter of a second
time anomaly over the triangle.
There's so... it's
like there's wrinkles
in space and time
over the triangle.
Nobody's ever measured any
anomaly like that on the planet.
Exactly.
Are we seeing
evidence of a portal?
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
some... whatever else.
I don't know, but
it's something.
To have these kinds of
electromagnetic anomalies
coupled with a time shift
of a quarter of a second
is astronomical.
Some scientists have suggested
that these types of anomalies
could be telltale signs of
a traversable wormhole,
or what some people
might call a portal.
Could we have just
discovered evidence
of what the Indigenous
people of the area
have claimed for centuries,
that interdimensional
portals exist
on Skinwalker Ranch?
- What are you seeing?
- A signal?
Could that
explain why Erik and I
have detected energy levels
that we don't know how
human technology can produce?
"1.60000."
Travis, you-you got to see this.
Or why we've seen UAPs ascend
from the direction of the
mesa up toward the triangle
and then simply
vanish into thin air?
My gosh.
A bend in space-time,
or a wormhole,
would theoretically
explain these things.
And now Jeremiah Pate has
detected the best evidence
I know of in human
history that this phenomena
could be a reality
on Skinwalker Ranch.
There is no part
of our investigation,
no part of the entire narrative
that isn't touched by this.
Everything. The
lidar, the radar,
the ground-penetrating
radar, the, helicopter...
- GPS, the...
- The GPS.
- All of it.
- Every measurement
- we have taken this summer.
- Yeah.
This is fascinating, Jeremiah,
and I can't wait to see,
the more processed data
and-and when you guys finish up.
Thank you so
much for doing this.
Yeah, the team and I are
gonna continue to crunch the data
and see what we can find.
And then we'll be
in touch really soon
with the results
of our analysis.
All right.
Well, we'll follow
up when you've got
the rest of that, that
data filtered and crunched
and, maybe we'll
have some imagery
of what's beneath
the soil, right?
Exactly.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Jeremiah.
See you later,
Jeremiah. Thanks a lot.
I think we've got
more and more verification
that there's an optical and a
temporal anomaly taking place,
which may be one and the same...
over the ranch, and
we need to continue with it.
- Well, all right, man.
- Crazy.
- Thank you.
- Fantastic experiment.
- Unbelievable.
- Absolutely fantastic.
A lot of our
experiments done at altitude
have produced
really strange results.
What could be generating
the strange effects
that we repeatedly experience
in the sky over the ranch?
I'd like the answer
to that, above all else.
Seeing this new
data showing anomalies
throughout the
skies above the ranch
really makes you wonder
if all the stories about
portals here over the
property could actually be true.
And moving forward
in our investigation,
we're not gonna stop
until we figure it out.
Strange phenomena
seems to be at a fever pitch
at Skinwalker Ranch.
What are we going
to find above the ranch
that will help us
find the answers to,
really, the nature of
the strange phenomena
that has plagued this area
for decades, if not millennia?
And now, more than ever
before, we are dedicated
and focused on getting
to the bottom of the truth.
There's
something screaming across here.
- Holy crap.
- Look at this thing.
Guys, that's 3,600
miles per hour.
I want to do focused
sound experiments.
The stone circle is lit
up like a Christmas tree.
That is crazy.
We keep seeing a figure
that keeps going back and forth.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- I'm going up on top. Yep.
- Yep, in case there's somebody up there.
All right, we're on our way.
