The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s01e07 Episode Script
Surveillance
1
Let's get to it.
The GPR has given us
an "X" marks the spot.
They're hitting
something hard now.
Man, they're on something.
There is an unnatural
structure beneath this property.
- That whole thing's shaking.
- Look at that.
- What is that?
- Why is that rocking like that?
There we go.
I'm hoping that
bringing an exotic animal
on the ranch will stimulate
whatever is mutilating
these cattle.
The alpacas
have been torn apart.
What is that?
It's hard to say
exactly what bit them.
I'm really glad that,
whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
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.
All right, well,
I think we're ready to go down
and hook this thing up.
Got everybody rounded up?
- Yeah.
- Yup.
For some time now,
Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde,
the two caretakers
who live at Homestead One,
they've been hearing a lot
of strange noises
coming from their basement.
Right there, perfect.
Don't, don't move.
Just stop right there.
A few weeks ago, Tom Winterton
and I went over to see
if we could find anything
that might explain
what's going on.
You see that?
Although we didn't find
what caused the noises,
we did find a really strange
sealed-off room
that had
absolutely nothing in it
except a few animal bones.
And we couldn't figure out
how in the world
those bones got inside there.
What in the world?
- Cremation remains?
- That's what I'm thinking.
It looks like.
So, here's how
I want to do this.
I want it to be as realistic
as possible.
So, we put a microphone
right into the middle
of that chamber, and then we'll
see the data up here.
Now, in light of
all the other phenomena
and things that we've seen
in the past few weeks,
we decided to set up
an audio experiment
to see if those sounds
that Tom and Kandus are hearing
in the basement are natural
or something else.
We have this theory-
that concrete room
under the house
is acting like a big bass drum
or a bass cello.
And when you vibrate the house
or the area around it,
like walking or closing doors,
when they're drilling
in the oil wells
with those big trucks,
I believe that it's picking up
that acoustic vibration,
and it may be what causes
some of the phenomena
that have been observed
in this house.
Low bass noises
and infrasonic sound,
it can vibrate your eyeballs
in the sockets
and stimulate the optic nerve
and actually make you think
you're seeing things.
And it can cause nausea
and it also can stimulate
the fight- or-flight reflex.
And so you might get that creepy
being-watched feeling.
And it could be because
of that concrete chamber
down there.
- Let's go. Let's do it.
- All right.
- Ready, sir, ready?
- Yeah.
Yep.
We got the experiment all set up
to test the acoustics
of this room underneath
Tom and Kandus's house.
So I've got Tom and Kandus
walking around in there.
Slamming doors, opening up
the oven, refrigerator,
flushing the toilet.
And it's really interesting.
Everything they do is echoing
really big in this system.
Bedroom, walking around.
Closet door in the bedroom.
Three, two
- Wow.
- Something happened.
How you-you could-It's like
hitting a drum, I'm telling you.
- You can hear it reverberating.
- Yeah.
Do me a favor and maybe,
stomp the floor.
My goodness.
- Look at that.
- Look at that.
That's amazing, guys.
Do me a favor and,
let's do, the closet door
one more time?
10-4.
Hey, is their
air conditioner on?
Noise level
seems a little wider.
Hear that?
What the hell?
What is it, Thomas?
Helicopter.
There is a helicopter.
But is-is it turning?
No.
I'm gonna go grab
the binoculars.
That dude's
hovering right there.
I think somebody's watching us
right now.
- That's exactly what it looks like.
- I think so, too.
Can you see 'em
with the binoculars good, Tom?
Yeah, here, come take a look.
It could be Life Flight.
Here, hold the radio.
I don't see a cross
on it, though,
like you'd expect with a rescue.
He's going extremely slow.
That's not the behavior
I would expect
from a Life Flight.
I want to check it out.
Yeah.
It's a pretty big
helicopter, though.
Yeah, our Life Flight one
is not that big, I don't think.
So, guys, I'm gonna try to go in
and look
at the transponder data.
See if I can figure out
who it is.
Yeah, that's a good idea, Erik.
It's got a sky
ball on the bottom of it.
That thing looks like
it has a big camera
on the bottom of it, too.
- It does.
- Do you see it?
It does have a camera
on the bottom.
They're watching us, guys.
First, I thought,
is Brandon coming in?
And as we raced out
and got eyes on it,
we realized it's no helicopter
that we recognize,
and it was definitely hovering
above the mesa
and possibly
over Homestead Two.
Which really concerns me
quite a bit.
I don't know who this is
or what they're doing here,
but they're not supposed
to be here.
Looks like it's heading
just straight west now.
Hey,
Kaleb, y'all see the helicopter?
Yeah, looks like it's just
heading west over the mesa.
I don't see it, guys.
It's gone.
What's the purpose
of them flying over?
Are they just curious as to
what we're doing down here?
Why does someone get
a private helicopter
and mount a camera
and fly over Skinwalker Ranch?
It definitely makes you feel
like you're being spied on.
It was the behavior that was
It's like they were watching us.
Well, if they're transponding,
Erik will pick 'em up on our
I hope-well, they,
they should by law, right,
be transponding.
What do we got, Erik?
They didn't show up at all.
Not transponding, then?
So they had their transponder
turned off.
Evidently.
So I was just telling them
depending on the airspace,
and I don't think this is
an A or a B class airspace.
- It's probably E.
- Right.
Then, you don't have
to have a transponder,
till you get
to a certain altitude.
- That's right.
- And so they could have turned it off
so that we couldn't track them.
Yeah, they were clearly
looking for something.
Why, why would you
turn it off, though?
I mean, isn't it in
your best interest
- to be transponding?
- If you have an emergency,
you want people to know
where you are,
and so you would turn it off
'cause you don't want people
to know where you are.
Now, you don't have to fly
with it on.
I mean, it's not
a law that you have
to have it on,
but it's just dumb, right?
Or you're
doing something clandestine.
During the time when
Robert Bigelow owned the ranch,
the federal government
spent many years
working with him
to investigate this place.
So, now that we're here,
and we've been experiencing
a lot of bizarre phenomena
It wasn't 500 feet
above the mesa.
I'm wondering if this
helicopter's evidence
that we're being watched?
Someone's here checking out
what we're doing.
In the early '90s,
Robert Bigelow, you know,
billionaire entrepreneur,
real estate developer
and aerospace entrepreneur,
founded the National Institute
of Discovery Science.
Which was his own
privately funded effort
to really investigate
the UFO phenomena,
cattle mutilations, and
all sorts of high strangeness.
What started off as a privately
funded research effort
transitioned on the ranch
to that program,
which was sponsored
by the Pentagon.
It remains to this day
cloaked in secrecy.
And a lot of the efforts
or the findings
that came out of those years
of intense study
on this property,
you know, remain
under lock and key.
They have a big sky ball
on the bottom of it.
- Yeah, we saw that.
- Yeah.
That made it look like
they were watching us.
Could it be a news
helicopter or something?
Usually news helicopters have
an identification on it.
Well, they clearly had a camera
on the bottom of that thing.
Yeah.
Absolutely, it did.
You could see it really well.
- Yeah.
- Makes you wonder
what in the world
they're doing here.
Travis, there's
something going on out here.
What in the world?
It's just dead.
I recommend not to touch it
till we see if it's radioactive.
Look at-the meter's going crazy.
All the frequencies are excited.
Mankind doesn't
know how to do that.
We need to get
out of here, guys.
Hello.
- Travis.
- Hey, Thomas.
Hey. I'm not sure where
you're at on the property.
But, there's something
going on out here.
Come over here and check it out.
We need to figure out
what happened.
Hey, y'all.
What in the world?
No sign of trauma.
Tom and I rolled it over
just to see if we could see
any animal markings on it.
There's no cat tracks.
There's no sign of struggle.
- Middle of the day
- It's just dead.
It's hard to kill a cow.
I saw her this morning,
but she was alive.
Was that late morning?
It's been dead
for a couple hours at least.
You know, it really disturbs me.
We've gone three years
and haven't had an incident.
And now we have the alpacas
getting attacked,
we've got a cow that's dead.
I don't know, that's weird.
I think next steps is,
we need to account
for the rest of the cattle
and make sure that we don't have
any others that are down.
- Kandus and Tom, you go out and
look for the cows - Okay.
and make sure
that we've got 41.
I want you to close the gate
over on this field,
and then the one going
across the road,
right there by the canal,
which will keep the herd
from coming in.
I don't want the herd
around this cow.
And let's lock them out
of this east pasture
and keep them over there
for now.
And then we get the vet,
try to determine cause of death.
- Yeah. Let's go count.
- Yeah.
So, everyone, I think
the best thing we can do
is treat this
like a crime scene.
I'll start taking photos,
um, 'cause the more
we move it around here, the more
we could disturb something.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
So everyone go out.
All right, why don't you guys
follow me out?
- All right.
- One of the really cool things
is that Kaleb treated the plae
like he was
a-a police detective.
He would try not to disturb
the crime scene,
and he would investigate it,
take pictures, take data.
He wanted to gather
as much evidence as he could.
And while he's doing this,
Thomas yelled at me
because suddenly his phone
starts going crazy.
Look at this.
Feel-feel my phone.
It's going vibrate to mute,
vibrate to mute like crazy.
Holy crap.
And we know that when phones
go crazy on the ranch,
that's an indication
that there are strange
electromagnetic signals
hitting us.
- Get that over there.
- The meter's going nuts.
So I immediately grabbed
a TriField meter
to go out and start
making measurements.
I was just taking photos,
and my phone started
doing its own thing.
It started to take, like
swapping over to video.
Yep, that's what mine was doing.
It started in my photos.
Look at-the meter's
just going crazy.
Jumping high, then it
jumps back to zero.
My phone starts freaking out
whenever your TriField goes off.
I don't have any control
over my phone right now.
Dude, look at that.
Standing next to Kaleb
and the dead cow,
when his phone was getting hi,
the TriField meter
was getting hit.
So we got two measurements
correlating there was a strange
electromagnetic signal.
I have no idea where these crazy
signals are coming from,
but what I do know is,
it seems to be localized
around this dead cow.
13, 14, we're at 15, 16
Is it still doing it?
Hey, it's at, it's at five-
It's 18.
It just jumped to 18 just then.
The microwave signals
that we measured
were as much as 20 milliwatts
per meter squared.
When I take the same meter and
stand in front of a microwave
while popping popcorn,
it only reads about
two milliwatts
per meter squared.
So this would be like being
inside the microwave.
Jim, are you seeing anything
on the spectrum analyzer?
Actually, I am.
You are? What are you seeing?
Something down
in the lower areas.
So I'm getting some
pretty high spikes.
Wow.
So, the noise floor
has significantly gone up.
What does this mean?
- All the frequencies are excited.
- At once.
- Almost instantaneously. Boom.
- Right.
So what that means is,
you would have
all the way from microwaves
down to past the AM
and ham radio bands,
all of 'em on at once.
And this is the whole thing just
raising up and down like that.
We don't even know how
to do that.
Mankind doesn't know how
to do that.
Something could be happening
right now out of the ordinary.
We don't know what it is,
but we're seeing it
with multiple instruments.
We need to get out
of here, guys.
Let's get out of here.
Is there really a
safe place on this ranch?
We're quickly losing places that
are safe to go on this ranch.
You see anything?
No.
Well, if they're smart,
they're laying in the shade.
There were several
things running through my head
as I realized that
we have a dead cow.
One was noticing
that the entire herd
had pushed out of the field.
The fact that they're gone?
That's disturbing.
- You see their heads poking out?
- Not yet.
And my first thought was
to have Tom and Kandus
go do a head count.
And make sure that this is
an isolated incident,
and that we don't have
additional cows
that are missing.
Here we go.
We could probably hop out here.
- Should we jump out?
- Yeah.
Three here. Four, five,
six, seven, eight.
- I count eight right there.
- Yeah.
So,
we found the cattle on the property
all clustered over here
in this area,
where they have
never been before.
19, 20, 21, 22
Their location, it made me think
they were scared of something.
'Cause they-why?
There are so many other places
on the ranch.
- I count 30.
- Yep.
- 30?
- 30.
There's so much other shade.
The options are unlimited
for where they could choose
to go to.
38, 39, 40.
So we're looking
for maybe one more.
Yeah, missing one.
I was thinking,
why are they clustered
over here in this corner?
20 on this side.
Okay, I'm still ge-There's 41.
There you go.
There you go.
All of them were back here.
And that was one thought I had
was: what are they afraid of?
- 41. Yep.
- All right.
Okay, let's go close
this fence now.
Yeah, we could-Yeah.
- Close that gate and the
gate up on the road. - Okay.
- All right? Head back?
- Sounds good. Yeah.
As we observed
these cows' behavior,
one of the things is,
is that they've really
just been grazing on
the east side of the ranch
for some time now.
And then, when Tom
and Kandus report,
the cows are pushed as far wet
on the property as they can g.
And having watched these cows
for several months,
they haven't spent
any time over there
in that very western side.
So the fact that they're
over there today
at the time that this cow dies,
and the time that we're
experiencing all these anomalies
is very curious.
And it makes me wonder
if there's a connection
between the two.
So, we're gonna close this one?
- Yep.
- Okay.
Animals actually detect
things a little differently
than humans do sometimes.
I've actually seen experiments
where insects were exposed
to microwave radiation,
and they could detect it and
move away to safe spots.
I- I believe that
the cows could probably
have a similar capability.
All right
If something weird were
to happen,
like strange radiation
or microwaves or something,
they might feel it
or detect it some way
and just move away from it.
- Good?
- Yeah.
So now, if the spot
where the cow died
is a spot where they avoid,
that might mean something.
Barbed wire.
And if something happened
at that location,
we need to do
a much deeper investigation.
We're just breaking
into the rib cage.
So, we're into the lungs
and heart.
It's very, very possible
that it was stress-induced.
The animal got stressed
by something.
And that stress would have been
something recent?
Yeah.
We called the vet because
we don't know the cause of death
for this cow.
And it might be something
natural, because cows do die
all the time, but they don't die
all the time while there's
crazy-weird electromagnetic
signals around them.
How are we?
- Good, how are you doing?
- Good.
- Thomas.
- Mike Gamble.
Obviously,
if the cow was diseased or something,
that's something that could
affect the rest of the herd.
Or maybe there's something there
that will give us some answers
on the things we're looking for.
It's back here.
We'll just lead you back.
When did you find her?
A couple hours ago.
So, we had eyes on it earlier,
and, she was alive.
We probably found her
within an hour or two
- of her being gone.
- Okay.
Got a little bit of
blood coming out the nostril.
Looks like surfactant
coming out.
You say she's just
a couple years old?
- She's two year old.
- Two year old?
Let's roll her over.
You need any help with anything,
let us know.
Well, I just need to stand her
up on her back, kind of.
Keep her a little bit stable.
Watching the vet, it actually
made me think of the mutilations
that have taken place
on Skinwalker Ranch.
Some of these mutilations have
reported to have taken place
in ten or 20 minutes;
that a cow was observed to be
alive and well, and then come
back and find it mutilated.
So, are you cutting
into the lungs, then?
Is that what you're
trying to do?
Not yet.
But if you have a pair of tree
loppers, I could use 'em.
I think I forgot mine.
- Tree loppers?
- Loppers?
- Yep.
- Yep. I'll grab 'em.
It took a lot of effort
for this vet to get
into this cow
and to really do
a thorough examination.
And it made me realize just
how more incredulous
these stories are
of these cows being mutilated.
Let me see those tree loppers.
Thank you.
We're just breaking
into the rib cage.
The fact that they could do
something like this
in 20 minutes when the vet,
through a great deal of effort,
took a lot longer than that
to get into this cow
was pretty telling to me.
The other thing was
the amount of blood
and just how messy an ordeal
like this is.
There again, the mutilations
were reported
to have been very clean.
No blood.
No signs of any type
of surgery that took place.
And that definitely
wasn't the case here.
So, we're into the lungs.
Lungs and heart.
That's a big heart. Wow.
That's huge.
We got a lot of consolidation
of the lungs right here.
Most of this black color
is postmortem
pooling of the blood.
It's very, very possible
that it was stress-induced.
Wow.
Stress will bring on pneumonia.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Cows, they get stressed,
and the pathogens
that cause pneumonia
are typically
already within the cow.
If this cow got stressed,
would that bring on
an acute reaction?
Yes, stress will cause it.
So, the heart looks normal.
I don't see anything
on the valves.
So, you're not seeing anything
that shows disease or
- Just the lungs.
- Just the pneumonia.
Just the lungs, yeah.
And that's-that's enough
to kill her.
Is there some
particular type of stress
that will cause this?
I would worry about predators.
That could have stressed
this cow out.
Whatever it was that came
and attacked the alpaca.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I just want to verify something,
that the animal
was going about her business,
doing her thing,
got stressed by something.
That lowered her immune system,
which allowed pneumonia
to set in.
Which, then-
that was the final-the key.
So, the impetus,
what the main thing was
is that
she got stressed somehow.
Exactly, yeah.
All-all the signs I've seen
point toward
stress-induced pneumonia.
And that stress would
have been something recent?
Yeah.
So, if they got spooked
and headed out,
and she wanted to go with them
- and couldn't
- Yeah.
that would definitely
stress her out.
Definitely, yeah.
Well, hearing that the cow died
of something that was
stress-induced,
if stress was the thing
that caused this cow
to get this pneumonia
and die rapidly,
what was the stressor?
Animals are attuned
to their senses
a little better than humans are,
and it's possible that
when this cow was being exposed
to microwaves,
that it was feeling it.
This cow must not have moved
to safety in time.
I think that we should get
an enclosure around that
and protect it
from predators tonight.
- And, grab a few panels
to put around it. - Okay.
And again, I want to thank you
for coming out so quickly.
- You did such a good job.
- Yeah, thanks, Doctor. - Yeah, no problem.
One of those things where
we hope we don't see it again,
but maybe we will.
Brandon Fugal.
Hey, Brandon. It's, Bryant.
I've got Erik here with me.
How's it going?
Things seemed
to have been going just fine,
but we did have
a bit of an incident
with part
of the livestock today.
Yeah, we came up
on a deceased one of the herd.
Whoa.
Um, we didn't see
any sort of wounds
on the exterior of the animal.
Um, for all intents
and purposes,
it looked just like
a perfectly healthy cow
that just laid down and died
for whatever reason.
The vet went out there
and kind of assessed it.
So, Brandon, it was evident
this animal was in distress.
So, we had several instruments
out there
- The spectrum analyzer?
- The spectrum analyzer,
as well as the, TriField meter.
You know, we got big RF spikes
during that time.
Interestingly enough, Kaleb-
that crazy thing with his phone
started to happen again.
Travis grabbed a TriField meter
and went racing out there,
and the RF was
way off the charts.
Okay,
that sounds like a good plan.
Okay. Thanks, Brandon.
We'll talk to you later.
All right, bye-bye.
So, the next step was
getting them out of the corral.
With this top barbed wire, and
then the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here
as long as it's secure.
But things
could be coming from the sky.
Upon hearing
that we had one of the cows
found dead on the property
under mysterious circumstances,
I immediately
drove back to the ranch
to truly see what is happenin,
what is at work.
What kind of events
led up to and surrounded
the death of that animal?
I want to get
to the bottom of that.
- Hey, boss.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
I'd like you gentlemen to meet
- Linda Moulton Howe.
- How do you do?
- Thomas. It's nice to meet you.
- Thomas, thank you.
- Jim.
- Hi, Jim.
I immediately reached out
to Linda Moulton Howe,
who is a world-renowned expert
when it comes to the
cattle mutilation phenomenon.
She has spent decades being
an active field investigator.
So I felt bringing her
on the property
was going to be important
to truly understand
whether what we were seeing
was anomalous.
Whether it was strange
or whether this was something
that had a natural explanation.
Linda is the foremost expert
on the planet
when it comes to some
of the strange phenomena
you've reported that
has occurred here on the ranch
the last several days.
And I think
with the elevated urgency,
the death of the cow,
I think it was important
to bring Linda out
as soon as possible
to consult with the team
and give us
hopefully greater insight.
So, tell us what has been
happening the last few days.
Well, we can tell you about it,
but we can also
show you some of it.
You know, we've had some things
happen with the cattle.
And, there's some footage
I'd like to share with you.
Great. Great.
You know, cows die all the time.
It's just part
of being on a ranch.
- Right.
- The interesting thing about this
was that it was surrounded
by a number of anomalies
taking place
within a short period of time.
That's what got my attention.
That's what elevated
the urgency with me.
So, when you take and add
all of the things together,
it-it starts to draw a picture
that maybe
it's not just a cow dying.
So, Linda,
what would you suggest we do,
- as far as next steps?
- Well
I am really interested
in looking at the cow.
- Okay.
- Great.
I'd like to go immediately
with Erik
to start looking at the footage.
- Let's do that.
- Okay. We'll grab you, then.
We'll head over and we'll
meet up a little bit later.
- Great.
- Okay.
So, we immediately
take Linda out to see the cow.
Boy.
And even though
it's only been 12 hours,
there's obviously
definitely an odor
and-and the insects around it.
You fenced it so we
could keep out the predators.
That's correct.
And what we are
looking at is after necropsy?
Yes.
You know, this particular cow,
for two years, she has done
everything normally,
and she's she's been fine.
Well, the first thing is,
if it had been
a classic cattle mutilation,
the first thing you would do is,
you would look
at the sky-facing head.
And that is where the
sky-facing ear would be gone.
Sky-facing eye would be removed.
And often, in a circle of fleh
around, taking out the eyebal,
- the eyelids, in a perfect circle.
- Okay.
The jaw would be
- right here, like this.
- Right.
So, when the vet did its
his work,
- he didn't find any of that
type of damage. - Right.
But what he did say-
it was very, very interesting-
is, he felt
that stress came first.
So it was a stressful moment
for the cow,
which dropped the immune system.
Every time you're stressed,
your immune system drops.
He saw some irritation
in the lungs
and actually showed us the pus.
- It was, like, very dramatic.
- Right.
There was some stress that
brought on the initial symptoms.
Then,
another thing was that it was acute.
It wasn't, like, a slow
progression. It was something
The stress came on really fast.
- Yeah.
- And then it took him down
as fast.
I accept that the veterinarian,
did the necropsy, saw the pus.
But if there is stress involved,
as the veterinarian himself
suggested, why?
What is the stress,
and is there something
still ongoing
in the Skinwalker Ranch?
Many of the animals
that she has seen mutilated
were missing their eye
that was facing skyward.
So, while this isn't
a textbook mutilation,
the fact that the cow died
from stress
definitely intrigued her.
I could see her wheels turning
as she's trying to piece
together whether or not
this was anything
out of the ordinary.
What stress exactly
caused her to do this?
Because, um,
as far as we can tell,
she-she's been fine.
Well, I can tell you, from all
of the animal mutilation work
that I've done in the last
four decades, in some cases,
it is very clear, by tracks
on the ground, that an animal
that is found mutilated
ran for a very long distance.
We have seen it in horses,
we've seen it in cattle,
we have seen it
in other animals.
And that suggests that the
animals themselves are aware
they're in trouble
and that they run.
And it could be
that that is the stress
that would accelerate death.
Linda,
I think if we're done right here,
I'm gonna move us
away from the animal.
- We got so many insects and-and the smell.
- Right.
Let's go over here in the shade.
I want to visit with you more.
This is a place
where strange things happen.
And in this case,
it's very clear:
this is not an animal
mutilation in any way.
But it's a very large,
two-year-old,
otherwise healthy-looking cow.
What happened
to this two-year-old?
If that animal had been
mutilated in the classic way
that literally thousands
of large and small animals
have been mutilated,
we're talking about going back
into not just the 1960s.
There are reports in Australia
going back to the beginning
of the 20th century.
- Wow. - So this is almost a-at least
a century- and-a-half phenomenon.
And it has been global.
- Wow.
- Now, what are we dealing with?
There's no question
that animals have been stressed
where they've been mutilated.
It's a link in the whole history
of a century
and a half of animal mutilations
around the world.
The problem is proving
- Right, that's always the problem for me.
- which stress did what
to which animal,
and that is the challenge.
We're dealing with something
that doesn't want us
to understand.
And you haven't had
any animal mutilations here
for two or three years, right?
- More than that.
- More than that?
- Maybe ten years.
- Well, you may s-be starting a new cycle.
Was the cow reacting
to some entity
that has entered the ranch?
Surveillance cameras captured
the ordeal that this animal
went through.
The cow is here.
I can't help but also notice
that there's
something happening here.
We're trying to make
a decision, whether this
was a natural occurrence or this
is an occurrence brought on
by some unknown entity
that's working on this ranch,
that we can't identify.
So, when you do
find these animals,
what other things do you measure
in the environment?
Well, the-the one thing
I've used are TriField meters.
And every once in a while
you might get a spike in,
let's say
the electromagnetic spectrum.
We had that yesterday.
Absolutely
- Right here?
- Tom and Kandus saw this,
we all ran out, we brought
our equipment with us.
And the minute we got here,
this thing was go-
our TriField meters, and we had
several of them-going crazy.
And then I took out my spectrum
analyzer, and at that point
I was reading things that
you can't possibly understand.
But everything you're describing
is electromagnetic
frequency intrusion
by something
that is causing anomalies.
From everything I know,
talking with government
and military people,
whether it's CIA, DIA, NSA
or military, and they have dealt
with animal mutilations
themselves.
And they know
that electromagnetic anomalies
are one of the things
that you need to measure. But
- That's interesting. Okay.
- Yeah, but all of these animals
die largely in rural areas
where nobody has anything
that's monitoring it.
And so, you all may have
the first consistent data
where you are truly trying to
keep track of what is happening
to specific animals
here at the Skinwalker Ranch.
Yeah.
While we got
you on the property,
we definitely want to get you
over and show you
the exotic animals we brought
on here, the alpacas.
- Yeah. - And maybe we can,
get your take on that?
- Okay.
- Tom, let's put the gate up.
Yeah, we need to get this
gated back in real quick.
It's obvious that
we're gathering a lot of data,
but so far
the data has led
to a lot of questions.
Any time we have someone
like Linda who has been on-site
of many, many, many
investigations,
it carries a lot
of weight with me.
And so, after showing her
the cow,
we just wanted to show her
the alpacas that got attacked.
- Well
- So, here's our exotic animals.
Before we put 'em in here,
they were kept in the corral,
right up by the ranch house.
And the-the morning after
they w-were brought in,
um, they were attacked
by something.
It looks bad.
I'm just glad he's alive.
I didn't know what
we were gonna find.
Yeah.
It's hard to say
exactly what bit them.
It was wretched.
Let me bring this up.
You can almost see
something grabbing onto it.
Right about
Yeah. Right there. That's
- When the first bite happened?
- Yeah.
I'm really glad
that whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
So, the next step was
getting them out of the corral
and bringing them here,
where they're more secure.
Do you think
about the possibility
that if you bring
a different animal here,
that something
might be provoked by it?
It was more about, maybe,
seeing how they react
to this place.
See if they sense anything
differently
than the cows or William or us.
Maybe things that we
can't hear and see, you know,
these animals seem to have
a sixth sense and know
- Well, they can hear infrasound,
and we can't hear - Yes.
And now, do you have cameras
that, if something
did attack them in here,
that you would get it on video?
- Yes.
- Yeah, so,
we have everything
very closely monitored
in this part of the property.
Has anything
been caught
on any infrared video?
When you say "anything,"
what do you mean?
Well, meaning something that
would fall into the category
of a beam, an orb,
possibly a silhouette.
- We've seen beams.
- We have seen beams
on the infrared camera that do
not appear to the naked eye.
It came over that rise.
A few weeks ago,
we actually saw an aberration
where there were-
appeared to be beams of light
- Did you see that?
- emanating from someplace
to the west of the mesa,
coming straight across the ranch
and going up into the sky.
That's a definite beam.
It is clearly a beam
going across there.
And when you put them in here,
did you have a feeling
that in the one hand
you might be separating them
from what attacked up there,
but on the other, you might
be making them vulnerable?
Um, no, I feel
getting them in here
was a relief.
'Cause I feel like, with this
top barbed wire, and then
the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here
as long as it's secure.
But things could be
coming from the sky.
That's been our question.
Is it coming from below?
Is it coming from the sky?
Especially with
a lot of the tales
that have been coming
from this ranch.
If it's coming from the sky,
there's probably
not a safe place anywhere.
So, I have the footage
that I'd like to show you ready.
And we're gonna watch this,
this cow.
After Linda
and the rest of the team
finished checking out
the remains of the dead cow,
they joined Brandon, Dragon
and I in the command center,
where Erik was eager to share
with us something amazing
he noticed
in the surveillance footage.
The surveillance cameras
captured the ordeal
that this animal went through
over a period of several hours.
We're looking,
towards the right extreme.
I'm going to zoom in on it.
That's the tree
that we found the cow by.
- Right. Right out here.
- Yeah.
Is that black object the cow?
The-Yep, that's it, Tom.
The cow is right here.
What we'll do is go forward
very slowly and watch
what happens with her.
Watch how she moves.
It's interesting.
- Now, you see the cow
starts to get up. - Yeah.
I'm gonna do this,
very slowly, frame by frame
so we can watch
what's happening with her.
So, here
I can't help but also notice
that there's something
happening here.
Yo, whoa, look at that.
Yeah, there it was, right there.
- Look at that.
- It looks like an object
above the tree.
- What?
- And it happens right when
the cow moves-raises up.
Now go back and show 'em
where you first see it, Erik.
Okay, so this is where
something else does enter the frame.
The next frame,
- the object is here.
- Wow.
The cow is trying
to get up on her feet.
The cow reacted.
- Right.
- The moment
that that object appeared
above the cow,
the cow was reacting.
Yes.
Something is clearly happening
here on the ranch.
We've seen all sorts
of weird signals,
we've been exposed to radiation.
I've seen toxic gases.
And now we have this cow dying,
and there's a strange object
flying at really fast speeds
above it.
This could be
the start of, actually,
an eye-opening experience
and experiment.
We might find something here
that's a lot deeper
than we think.
At first,
when I saw this object,
my rational mind
tried to make sense of it.
Tried to make it look
like an airplane
or a bird or a bug or something.
But the more I looked at it,
the more I thought about it,
it was not any of those things.
What was this
craft doing out there,
and why, at the very time
this cow was dying,
was this craft seen in the sk?
I think it's very intriguing,
as to why
these two, events are taking
place at the same time.
While this is not a mutilation
in the sense
that we did not find
the animal cut up
and emptied of its blood
or anything of that sort,
this is perhaps one of the most
well-documented events
of such a suspicious and sudden
cattle death on a ranch
where activity of this nature
is known to have taken place.
To this day,
not a single scavenger
- has touched that cow.
- Wow.
It looks just
like the Tic Tac video.
That's some type of propulsion
that we can't understand.
Does that constitute contact?
They approached us.
Those rays reflect
from the ranch property.
We've got indisputable evidence
that's world-changing.
- Agreed.
- Somebody's watching us.
I've been
contacted by some folks
in the intelligence community.
- So, we're being monitored?
- Absolutely.
CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY
A+E NETWORKS
Let's get to it.
The GPR has given us
an "X" marks the spot.
They're hitting
something hard now.
Man, they're on something.
There is an unnatural
structure beneath this property.
- That whole thing's shaking.
- Look at that.
- What is that?
- Why is that rocking like that?
There we go.
I'm hoping that
bringing an exotic animal
on the ranch will stimulate
whatever is mutilating
these cattle.
The alpacas
have been torn apart.
What is that?
It's hard to say
exactly what bit them.
I'm really glad that,
whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
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.
All right, well,
I think we're ready to go down
and hook this thing up.
Got everybody rounded up?
- Yeah.
- Yup.
For some time now,
Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde,
the two caretakers
who live at Homestead One,
they've been hearing a lot
of strange noises
coming from their basement.
Right there, perfect.
Don't, don't move.
Just stop right there.
A few weeks ago, Tom Winterton
and I went over to see
if we could find anything
that might explain
what's going on.
You see that?
Although we didn't find
what caused the noises,
we did find a really strange
sealed-off room
that had
absolutely nothing in it
except a few animal bones.
And we couldn't figure out
how in the world
those bones got inside there.
What in the world?
- Cremation remains?
- That's what I'm thinking.
It looks like.
So, here's how
I want to do this.
I want it to be as realistic
as possible.
So, we put a microphone
right into the middle
of that chamber, and then we'll
see the data up here.
Now, in light of
all the other phenomena
and things that we've seen
in the past few weeks,
we decided to set up
an audio experiment
to see if those sounds
that Tom and Kandus are hearing
in the basement are natural
or something else.
We have this theory-
that concrete room
under the house
is acting like a big bass drum
or a bass cello.
And when you vibrate the house
or the area around it,
like walking or closing doors,
when they're drilling
in the oil wells
with those big trucks,
I believe that it's picking up
that acoustic vibration,
and it may be what causes
some of the phenomena
that have been observed
in this house.
Low bass noises
and infrasonic sound,
it can vibrate your eyeballs
in the sockets
and stimulate the optic nerve
and actually make you think
you're seeing things.
And it can cause nausea
and it also can stimulate
the fight- or-flight reflex.
And so you might get that creepy
being-watched feeling.
And it could be because
of that concrete chamber
down there.
- Let's go. Let's do it.
- All right.
- Ready, sir, ready?
- Yeah.
Yep.
We got the experiment all set up
to test the acoustics
of this room underneath
Tom and Kandus's house.
So I've got Tom and Kandus
walking around in there.
Slamming doors, opening up
the oven, refrigerator,
flushing the toilet.
And it's really interesting.
Everything they do is echoing
really big in this system.
Bedroom, walking around.
Closet door in the bedroom.
Three, two
- Wow.
- Something happened.
How you-you could-It's like
hitting a drum, I'm telling you.
- You can hear it reverberating.
- Yeah.
Do me a favor and maybe,
stomp the floor.
My goodness.
- Look at that.
- Look at that.
That's amazing, guys.
Do me a favor and,
let's do, the closet door
one more time?
10-4.
Hey, is their
air conditioner on?
Noise level
seems a little wider.
Hear that?
What the hell?
What is it, Thomas?
Helicopter.
There is a helicopter.
But is-is it turning?
No.
I'm gonna go grab
the binoculars.
That dude's
hovering right there.
I think somebody's watching us
right now.
- That's exactly what it looks like.
- I think so, too.
Can you see 'em
with the binoculars good, Tom?
Yeah, here, come take a look.
It could be Life Flight.
Here, hold the radio.
I don't see a cross
on it, though,
like you'd expect with a rescue.
He's going extremely slow.
That's not the behavior
I would expect
from a Life Flight.
I want to check it out.
Yeah.
It's a pretty big
helicopter, though.
Yeah, our Life Flight one
is not that big, I don't think.
So, guys, I'm gonna try to go in
and look
at the transponder data.
See if I can figure out
who it is.
Yeah, that's a good idea, Erik.
It's got a sky
ball on the bottom of it.
That thing looks like
it has a big camera
on the bottom of it, too.
- It does.
- Do you see it?
It does have a camera
on the bottom.
They're watching us, guys.
First, I thought,
is Brandon coming in?
And as we raced out
and got eyes on it,
we realized it's no helicopter
that we recognize,
and it was definitely hovering
above the mesa
and possibly
over Homestead Two.
Which really concerns me
quite a bit.
I don't know who this is
or what they're doing here,
but they're not supposed
to be here.
Looks like it's heading
just straight west now.
Hey,
Kaleb, y'all see the helicopter?
Yeah, looks like it's just
heading west over the mesa.
I don't see it, guys.
It's gone.
What's the purpose
of them flying over?
Are they just curious as to
what we're doing down here?
Why does someone get
a private helicopter
and mount a camera
and fly over Skinwalker Ranch?
It definitely makes you feel
like you're being spied on.
It was the behavior that was
It's like they were watching us.
Well, if they're transponding,
Erik will pick 'em up on our
I hope-well, they,
they should by law, right,
be transponding.
What do we got, Erik?
They didn't show up at all.
Not transponding, then?
So they had their transponder
turned off.
Evidently.
So I was just telling them
depending on the airspace,
and I don't think this is
an A or a B class airspace.
- It's probably E.
- Right.
Then, you don't have
to have a transponder,
till you get
to a certain altitude.
- That's right.
- And so they could have turned it off
so that we couldn't track them.
Yeah, they were clearly
looking for something.
Why, why would you
turn it off, though?
I mean, isn't it in
your best interest
- to be transponding?
- If you have an emergency,
you want people to know
where you are,
and so you would turn it off
'cause you don't want people
to know where you are.
Now, you don't have to fly
with it on.
I mean, it's not
a law that you have
to have it on,
but it's just dumb, right?
Or you're
doing something clandestine.
During the time when
Robert Bigelow owned the ranch,
the federal government
spent many years
working with him
to investigate this place.
So, now that we're here,
and we've been experiencing
a lot of bizarre phenomena
It wasn't 500 feet
above the mesa.
I'm wondering if this
helicopter's evidence
that we're being watched?
Someone's here checking out
what we're doing.
In the early '90s,
Robert Bigelow, you know,
billionaire entrepreneur,
real estate developer
and aerospace entrepreneur,
founded the National Institute
of Discovery Science.
Which was his own
privately funded effort
to really investigate
the UFO phenomena,
cattle mutilations, and
all sorts of high strangeness.
What started off as a privately
funded research effort
transitioned on the ranch
to that program,
which was sponsored
by the Pentagon.
It remains to this day
cloaked in secrecy.
And a lot of the efforts
or the findings
that came out of those years
of intense study
on this property,
you know, remain
under lock and key.
They have a big sky ball
on the bottom of it.
- Yeah, we saw that.
- Yeah.
That made it look like
they were watching us.
Could it be a news
helicopter or something?
Usually news helicopters have
an identification on it.
Well, they clearly had a camera
on the bottom of that thing.
Yeah.
Absolutely, it did.
You could see it really well.
- Yeah.
- Makes you wonder
what in the world
they're doing here.
Travis, there's
something going on out here.
What in the world?
It's just dead.
I recommend not to touch it
till we see if it's radioactive.
Look at-the meter's going crazy.
All the frequencies are excited.
Mankind doesn't
know how to do that.
We need to get
out of here, guys.
Hello.
- Travis.
- Hey, Thomas.
Hey. I'm not sure where
you're at on the property.
But, there's something
going on out here.
Come over here and check it out.
We need to figure out
what happened.
Hey, y'all.
What in the world?
No sign of trauma.
Tom and I rolled it over
just to see if we could see
any animal markings on it.
There's no cat tracks.
There's no sign of struggle.
- Middle of the day
- It's just dead.
It's hard to kill a cow.
I saw her this morning,
but she was alive.
Was that late morning?
It's been dead
for a couple hours at least.
You know, it really disturbs me.
We've gone three years
and haven't had an incident.
And now we have the alpacas
getting attacked,
we've got a cow that's dead.
I don't know, that's weird.
I think next steps is,
we need to account
for the rest of the cattle
and make sure that we don't have
any others that are down.
- Kandus and Tom, you go out and
look for the cows - Okay.
and make sure
that we've got 41.
I want you to close the gate
over on this field,
and then the one going
across the road,
right there by the canal,
which will keep the herd
from coming in.
I don't want the herd
around this cow.
And let's lock them out
of this east pasture
and keep them over there
for now.
And then we get the vet,
try to determine cause of death.
- Yeah. Let's go count.
- Yeah.
So, everyone, I think
the best thing we can do
is treat this
like a crime scene.
I'll start taking photos,
um, 'cause the more
we move it around here, the more
we could disturb something.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
So everyone go out.
All right, why don't you guys
follow me out?
- All right.
- One of the really cool things
is that Kaleb treated the plae
like he was
a-a police detective.
He would try not to disturb
the crime scene,
and he would investigate it,
take pictures, take data.
He wanted to gather
as much evidence as he could.
And while he's doing this,
Thomas yelled at me
because suddenly his phone
starts going crazy.
Look at this.
Feel-feel my phone.
It's going vibrate to mute,
vibrate to mute like crazy.
Holy crap.
And we know that when phones
go crazy on the ranch,
that's an indication
that there are strange
electromagnetic signals
hitting us.
- Get that over there.
- The meter's going nuts.
So I immediately grabbed
a TriField meter
to go out and start
making measurements.
I was just taking photos,
and my phone started
doing its own thing.
It started to take, like
swapping over to video.
Yep, that's what mine was doing.
It started in my photos.
Look at-the meter's
just going crazy.
Jumping high, then it
jumps back to zero.
My phone starts freaking out
whenever your TriField goes off.
I don't have any control
over my phone right now.
Dude, look at that.
Standing next to Kaleb
and the dead cow,
when his phone was getting hi,
the TriField meter
was getting hit.
So we got two measurements
correlating there was a strange
electromagnetic signal.
I have no idea where these crazy
signals are coming from,
but what I do know is,
it seems to be localized
around this dead cow.
13, 14, we're at 15, 16
Is it still doing it?
Hey, it's at, it's at five-
It's 18.
It just jumped to 18 just then.
The microwave signals
that we measured
were as much as 20 milliwatts
per meter squared.
When I take the same meter and
stand in front of a microwave
while popping popcorn,
it only reads about
two milliwatts
per meter squared.
So this would be like being
inside the microwave.
Jim, are you seeing anything
on the spectrum analyzer?
Actually, I am.
You are? What are you seeing?
Something down
in the lower areas.
So I'm getting some
pretty high spikes.
Wow.
So, the noise floor
has significantly gone up.
What does this mean?
- All the frequencies are excited.
- At once.
- Almost instantaneously. Boom.
- Right.
So what that means is,
you would have
all the way from microwaves
down to past the AM
and ham radio bands,
all of 'em on at once.
And this is the whole thing just
raising up and down like that.
We don't even know how
to do that.
Mankind doesn't know how
to do that.
Something could be happening
right now out of the ordinary.
We don't know what it is,
but we're seeing it
with multiple instruments.
We need to get out
of here, guys.
Let's get out of here.
Is there really a
safe place on this ranch?
We're quickly losing places that
are safe to go on this ranch.
You see anything?
No.
Well, if they're smart,
they're laying in the shade.
There were several
things running through my head
as I realized that
we have a dead cow.
One was noticing
that the entire herd
had pushed out of the field.
The fact that they're gone?
That's disturbing.
- You see their heads poking out?
- Not yet.
And my first thought was
to have Tom and Kandus
go do a head count.
And make sure that this is
an isolated incident,
and that we don't have
additional cows
that are missing.
Here we go.
We could probably hop out here.
- Should we jump out?
- Yeah.
Three here. Four, five,
six, seven, eight.
- I count eight right there.
- Yeah.
So,
we found the cattle on the property
all clustered over here
in this area,
where they have
never been before.
19, 20, 21, 22
Their location, it made me think
they were scared of something.
'Cause they-why?
There are so many other places
on the ranch.
- I count 30.
- Yep.
- 30?
- 30.
There's so much other shade.
The options are unlimited
for where they could choose
to go to.
38, 39, 40.
So we're looking
for maybe one more.
Yeah, missing one.
I was thinking,
why are they clustered
over here in this corner?
20 on this side.
Okay, I'm still ge-There's 41.
There you go.
There you go.
All of them were back here.
And that was one thought I had
was: what are they afraid of?
- 41. Yep.
- All right.
Okay, let's go close
this fence now.
Yeah, we could-Yeah.
- Close that gate and the
gate up on the road. - Okay.
- All right? Head back?
- Sounds good. Yeah.
As we observed
these cows' behavior,
one of the things is,
is that they've really
just been grazing on
the east side of the ranch
for some time now.
And then, when Tom
and Kandus report,
the cows are pushed as far wet
on the property as they can g.
And having watched these cows
for several months,
they haven't spent
any time over there
in that very western side.
So the fact that they're
over there today
at the time that this cow dies,
and the time that we're
experiencing all these anomalies
is very curious.
And it makes me wonder
if there's a connection
between the two.
So, we're gonna close this one?
- Yep.
- Okay.
Animals actually detect
things a little differently
than humans do sometimes.
I've actually seen experiments
where insects were exposed
to microwave radiation,
and they could detect it and
move away to safe spots.
I- I believe that
the cows could probably
have a similar capability.
All right
If something weird were
to happen,
like strange radiation
or microwaves or something,
they might feel it
or detect it some way
and just move away from it.
- Good?
- Yeah.
So now, if the spot
where the cow died
is a spot where they avoid,
that might mean something.
Barbed wire.
And if something happened
at that location,
we need to do
a much deeper investigation.
We're just breaking
into the rib cage.
So, we're into the lungs
and heart.
It's very, very possible
that it was stress-induced.
The animal got stressed
by something.
And that stress would have been
something recent?
Yeah.
We called the vet because
we don't know the cause of death
for this cow.
And it might be something
natural, because cows do die
all the time, but they don't die
all the time while there's
crazy-weird electromagnetic
signals around them.
How are we?
- Good, how are you doing?
- Good.
- Thomas.
- Mike Gamble.
Obviously,
if the cow was diseased or something,
that's something that could
affect the rest of the herd.
Or maybe there's something there
that will give us some answers
on the things we're looking for.
It's back here.
We'll just lead you back.
When did you find her?
A couple hours ago.
So, we had eyes on it earlier,
and, she was alive.
We probably found her
within an hour or two
- of her being gone.
- Okay.
Got a little bit of
blood coming out the nostril.
Looks like surfactant
coming out.
You say she's just
a couple years old?
- She's two year old.
- Two year old?
Let's roll her over.
You need any help with anything,
let us know.
Well, I just need to stand her
up on her back, kind of.
Keep her a little bit stable.
Watching the vet, it actually
made me think of the mutilations
that have taken place
on Skinwalker Ranch.
Some of these mutilations have
reported to have taken place
in ten or 20 minutes;
that a cow was observed to be
alive and well, and then come
back and find it mutilated.
So, are you cutting
into the lungs, then?
Is that what you're
trying to do?
Not yet.
But if you have a pair of tree
loppers, I could use 'em.
I think I forgot mine.
- Tree loppers?
- Loppers?
- Yep.
- Yep. I'll grab 'em.
It took a lot of effort
for this vet to get
into this cow
and to really do
a thorough examination.
And it made me realize just
how more incredulous
these stories are
of these cows being mutilated.
Let me see those tree loppers.
Thank you.
We're just breaking
into the rib cage.
The fact that they could do
something like this
in 20 minutes when the vet,
through a great deal of effort,
took a lot longer than that
to get into this cow
was pretty telling to me.
The other thing was
the amount of blood
and just how messy an ordeal
like this is.
There again, the mutilations
were reported
to have been very clean.
No blood.
No signs of any type
of surgery that took place.
And that definitely
wasn't the case here.
So, we're into the lungs.
Lungs and heart.
That's a big heart. Wow.
That's huge.
We got a lot of consolidation
of the lungs right here.
Most of this black color
is postmortem
pooling of the blood.
It's very, very possible
that it was stress-induced.
Wow.
Stress will bring on pneumonia.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Cows, they get stressed,
and the pathogens
that cause pneumonia
are typically
already within the cow.
If this cow got stressed,
would that bring on
an acute reaction?
Yes, stress will cause it.
So, the heart looks normal.
I don't see anything
on the valves.
So, you're not seeing anything
that shows disease or
- Just the lungs.
- Just the pneumonia.
Just the lungs, yeah.
And that's-that's enough
to kill her.
Is there some
particular type of stress
that will cause this?
I would worry about predators.
That could have stressed
this cow out.
Whatever it was that came
and attacked the alpaca.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I just want to verify something,
that the animal
was going about her business,
doing her thing,
got stressed by something.
That lowered her immune system,
which allowed pneumonia
to set in.
Which, then-
that was the final-the key.
So, the impetus,
what the main thing was
is that
she got stressed somehow.
Exactly, yeah.
All-all the signs I've seen
point toward
stress-induced pneumonia.
And that stress would
have been something recent?
Yeah.
So, if they got spooked
and headed out,
and she wanted to go with them
- and couldn't
- Yeah.
that would definitely
stress her out.
Definitely, yeah.
Well, hearing that the cow died
of something that was
stress-induced,
if stress was the thing
that caused this cow
to get this pneumonia
and die rapidly,
what was the stressor?
Animals are attuned
to their senses
a little better than humans are,
and it's possible that
when this cow was being exposed
to microwaves,
that it was feeling it.
This cow must not have moved
to safety in time.
I think that we should get
an enclosure around that
and protect it
from predators tonight.
- And, grab a few panels
to put around it. - Okay.
And again, I want to thank you
for coming out so quickly.
- You did such a good job.
- Yeah, thanks, Doctor. - Yeah, no problem.
One of those things where
we hope we don't see it again,
but maybe we will.
Brandon Fugal.
Hey, Brandon. It's, Bryant.
I've got Erik here with me.
How's it going?
Things seemed
to have been going just fine,
but we did have
a bit of an incident
with part
of the livestock today.
Yeah, we came up
on a deceased one of the herd.
Whoa.
Um, we didn't see
any sort of wounds
on the exterior of the animal.
Um, for all intents
and purposes,
it looked just like
a perfectly healthy cow
that just laid down and died
for whatever reason.
The vet went out there
and kind of assessed it.
So, Brandon, it was evident
this animal was in distress.
So, we had several instruments
out there
- The spectrum analyzer?
- The spectrum analyzer,
as well as the, TriField meter.
You know, we got big RF spikes
during that time.
Interestingly enough, Kaleb-
that crazy thing with his phone
started to happen again.
Travis grabbed a TriField meter
and went racing out there,
and the RF was
way off the charts.
Okay,
that sounds like a good plan.
Okay. Thanks, Brandon.
We'll talk to you later.
All right, bye-bye.
So, the next step was
getting them out of the corral.
With this top barbed wire, and
then the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here
as long as it's secure.
But things
could be coming from the sky.
Upon hearing
that we had one of the cows
found dead on the property
under mysterious circumstances,
I immediately
drove back to the ranch
to truly see what is happenin,
what is at work.
What kind of events
led up to and surrounded
the death of that animal?
I want to get
to the bottom of that.
- Hey, boss.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
I'd like you gentlemen to meet
- Linda Moulton Howe.
- How do you do?
- Thomas. It's nice to meet you.
- Thomas, thank you.
- Jim.
- Hi, Jim.
I immediately reached out
to Linda Moulton Howe,
who is a world-renowned expert
when it comes to the
cattle mutilation phenomenon.
She has spent decades being
an active field investigator.
So I felt bringing her
on the property
was going to be important
to truly understand
whether what we were seeing
was anomalous.
Whether it was strange
or whether this was something
that had a natural explanation.
Linda is the foremost expert
on the planet
when it comes to some
of the strange phenomena
you've reported that
has occurred here on the ranch
the last several days.
And I think
with the elevated urgency,
the death of the cow,
I think it was important
to bring Linda out
as soon as possible
to consult with the team
and give us
hopefully greater insight.
So, tell us what has been
happening the last few days.
Well, we can tell you about it,
but we can also
show you some of it.
You know, we've had some things
happen with the cattle.
And, there's some footage
I'd like to share with you.
Great. Great.
You know, cows die all the time.
It's just part
of being on a ranch.
- Right.
- The interesting thing about this
was that it was surrounded
by a number of anomalies
taking place
within a short period of time.
That's what got my attention.
That's what elevated
the urgency with me.
So, when you take and add
all of the things together,
it-it starts to draw a picture
that maybe
it's not just a cow dying.
So, Linda,
what would you suggest we do,
- as far as next steps?
- Well
I am really interested
in looking at the cow.
- Okay.
- Great.
I'd like to go immediately
with Erik
to start looking at the footage.
- Let's do that.
- Okay. We'll grab you, then.
We'll head over and we'll
meet up a little bit later.
- Great.
- Okay.
So, we immediately
take Linda out to see the cow.
Boy.
And even though
it's only been 12 hours,
there's obviously
definitely an odor
and-and the insects around it.
You fenced it so we
could keep out the predators.
That's correct.
And what we are
looking at is after necropsy?
Yes.
You know, this particular cow,
for two years, she has done
everything normally,
and she's she's been fine.
Well, the first thing is,
if it had been
a classic cattle mutilation,
the first thing you would do is,
you would look
at the sky-facing head.
And that is where the
sky-facing ear would be gone.
Sky-facing eye would be removed.
And often, in a circle of fleh
around, taking out the eyebal,
- the eyelids, in a perfect circle.
- Okay.
The jaw would be
- right here, like this.
- Right.
So, when the vet did its
his work,
- he didn't find any of that
type of damage. - Right.
But what he did say-
it was very, very interesting-
is, he felt
that stress came first.
So it was a stressful moment
for the cow,
which dropped the immune system.
Every time you're stressed,
your immune system drops.
He saw some irritation
in the lungs
and actually showed us the pus.
- It was, like, very dramatic.
- Right.
There was some stress that
brought on the initial symptoms.
Then,
another thing was that it was acute.
It wasn't, like, a slow
progression. It was something
The stress came on really fast.
- Yeah.
- And then it took him down
as fast.
I accept that the veterinarian,
did the necropsy, saw the pus.
But if there is stress involved,
as the veterinarian himself
suggested, why?
What is the stress,
and is there something
still ongoing
in the Skinwalker Ranch?
Many of the animals
that she has seen mutilated
were missing their eye
that was facing skyward.
So, while this isn't
a textbook mutilation,
the fact that the cow died
from stress
definitely intrigued her.
I could see her wheels turning
as she's trying to piece
together whether or not
this was anything
out of the ordinary.
What stress exactly
caused her to do this?
Because, um,
as far as we can tell,
she-she's been fine.
Well, I can tell you, from all
of the animal mutilation work
that I've done in the last
four decades, in some cases,
it is very clear, by tracks
on the ground, that an animal
that is found mutilated
ran for a very long distance.
We have seen it in horses,
we've seen it in cattle,
we have seen it
in other animals.
And that suggests that the
animals themselves are aware
they're in trouble
and that they run.
And it could be
that that is the stress
that would accelerate death.
Linda,
I think if we're done right here,
I'm gonna move us
away from the animal.
- We got so many insects and-and the smell.
- Right.
Let's go over here in the shade.
I want to visit with you more.
This is a place
where strange things happen.
And in this case,
it's very clear:
this is not an animal
mutilation in any way.
But it's a very large,
two-year-old,
otherwise healthy-looking cow.
What happened
to this two-year-old?
If that animal had been
mutilated in the classic way
that literally thousands
of large and small animals
have been mutilated,
we're talking about going back
into not just the 1960s.
There are reports in Australia
going back to the beginning
of the 20th century.
- Wow. - So this is almost a-at least
a century- and-a-half phenomenon.
And it has been global.
- Wow.
- Now, what are we dealing with?
There's no question
that animals have been stressed
where they've been mutilated.
It's a link in the whole history
of a century
and a half of animal mutilations
around the world.
The problem is proving
- Right, that's always the problem for me.
- which stress did what
to which animal,
and that is the challenge.
We're dealing with something
that doesn't want us
to understand.
And you haven't had
any animal mutilations here
for two or three years, right?
- More than that.
- More than that?
- Maybe ten years.
- Well, you may s-be starting a new cycle.
Was the cow reacting
to some entity
that has entered the ranch?
Surveillance cameras captured
the ordeal that this animal
went through.
The cow is here.
I can't help but also notice
that there's
something happening here.
We're trying to make
a decision, whether this
was a natural occurrence or this
is an occurrence brought on
by some unknown entity
that's working on this ranch,
that we can't identify.
So, when you do
find these animals,
what other things do you measure
in the environment?
Well, the-the one thing
I've used are TriField meters.
And every once in a while
you might get a spike in,
let's say
the electromagnetic spectrum.
We had that yesterday.
Absolutely
- Right here?
- Tom and Kandus saw this,
we all ran out, we brought
our equipment with us.
And the minute we got here,
this thing was go-
our TriField meters, and we had
several of them-going crazy.
And then I took out my spectrum
analyzer, and at that point
I was reading things that
you can't possibly understand.
But everything you're describing
is electromagnetic
frequency intrusion
by something
that is causing anomalies.
From everything I know,
talking with government
and military people,
whether it's CIA, DIA, NSA
or military, and they have dealt
with animal mutilations
themselves.
And they know
that electromagnetic anomalies
are one of the things
that you need to measure. But
- That's interesting. Okay.
- Yeah, but all of these animals
die largely in rural areas
where nobody has anything
that's monitoring it.
And so, you all may have
the first consistent data
where you are truly trying to
keep track of what is happening
to specific animals
here at the Skinwalker Ranch.
Yeah.
While we got
you on the property,
we definitely want to get you
over and show you
the exotic animals we brought
on here, the alpacas.
- Yeah. - And maybe we can,
get your take on that?
- Okay.
- Tom, let's put the gate up.
Yeah, we need to get this
gated back in real quick.
It's obvious that
we're gathering a lot of data,
but so far
the data has led
to a lot of questions.
Any time we have someone
like Linda who has been on-site
of many, many, many
investigations,
it carries a lot
of weight with me.
And so, after showing her
the cow,
we just wanted to show her
the alpacas that got attacked.
- Well
- So, here's our exotic animals.
Before we put 'em in here,
they were kept in the corral,
right up by the ranch house.
And the-the morning after
they w-were brought in,
um, they were attacked
by something.
It looks bad.
I'm just glad he's alive.
I didn't know what
we were gonna find.
Yeah.
It's hard to say
exactly what bit them.
It was wretched.
Let me bring this up.
You can almost see
something grabbing onto it.
Right about
Yeah. Right there. That's
- When the first bite happened?
- Yeah.
I'm really glad
that whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
So, the next step was
getting them out of the corral
and bringing them here,
where they're more secure.
Do you think
about the possibility
that if you bring
a different animal here,
that something
might be provoked by it?
It was more about, maybe,
seeing how they react
to this place.
See if they sense anything
differently
than the cows or William or us.
Maybe things that we
can't hear and see, you know,
these animals seem to have
a sixth sense and know
- Well, they can hear infrasound,
and we can't hear - Yes.
And now, do you have cameras
that, if something
did attack them in here,
that you would get it on video?
- Yes.
- Yeah, so,
we have everything
very closely monitored
in this part of the property.
Has anything
been caught
on any infrared video?
When you say "anything,"
what do you mean?
Well, meaning something that
would fall into the category
of a beam, an orb,
possibly a silhouette.
- We've seen beams.
- We have seen beams
on the infrared camera that do
not appear to the naked eye.
It came over that rise.
A few weeks ago,
we actually saw an aberration
where there were-
appeared to be beams of light
- Did you see that?
- emanating from someplace
to the west of the mesa,
coming straight across the ranch
and going up into the sky.
That's a definite beam.
It is clearly a beam
going across there.
And when you put them in here,
did you have a feeling
that in the one hand
you might be separating them
from what attacked up there,
but on the other, you might
be making them vulnerable?
Um, no, I feel
getting them in here
was a relief.
'Cause I feel like, with this
top barbed wire, and then
the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here
as long as it's secure.
But things could be
coming from the sky.
That's been our question.
Is it coming from below?
Is it coming from the sky?
Especially with
a lot of the tales
that have been coming
from this ranch.
If it's coming from the sky,
there's probably
not a safe place anywhere.
So, I have the footage
that I'd like to show you ready.
And we're gonna watch this,
this cow.
After Linda
and the rest of the team
finished checking out
the remains of the dead cow,
they joined Brandon, Dragon
and I in the command center,
where Erik was eager to share
with us something amazing
he noticed
in the surveillance footage.
The surveillance cameras
captured the ordeal
that this animal went through
over a period of several hours.
We're looking,
towards the right extreme.
I'm going to zoom in on it.
That's the tree
that we found the cow by.
- Right. Right out here.
- Yeah.
Is that black object the cow?
The-Yep, that's it, Tom.
The cow is right here.
What we'll do is go forward
very slowly and watch
what happens with her.
Watch how she moves.
It's interesting.
- Now, you see the cow
starts to get up. - Yeah.
I'm gonna do this,
very slowly, frame by frame
so we can watch
what's happening with her.
So, here
I can't help but also notice
that there's something
happening here.
Yo, whoa, look at that.
Yeah, there it was, right there.
- Look at that.
- It looks like an object
above the tree.
- What?
- And it happens right when
the cow moves-raises up.
Now go back and show 'em
where you first see it, Erik.
Okay, so this is where
something else does enter the frame.
The next frame,
- the object is here.
- Wow.
The cow is trying
to get up on her feet.
The cow reacted.
- Right.
- The moment
that that object appeared
above the cow,
the cow was reacting.
Yes.
Something is clearly happening
here on the ranch.
We've seen all sorts
of weird signals,
we've been exposed to radiation.
I've seen toxic gases.
And now we have this cow dying,
and there's a strange object
flying at really fast speeds
above it.
This could be
the start of, actually,
an eye-opening experience
and experiment.
We might find something here
that's a lot deeper
than we think.
At first,
when I saw this object,
my rational mind
tried to make sense of it.
Tried to make it look
like an airplane
or a bird or a bug or something.
But the more I looked at it,
the more I thought about it,
it was not any of those things.
What was this
craft doing out there,
and why, at the very time
this cow was dying,
was this craft seen in the sk?
I think it's very intriguing,
as to why
these two, events are taking
place at the same time.
While this is not a mutilation
in the sense
that we did not find
the animal cut up
and emptied of its blood
or anything of that sort,
this is perhaps one of the most
well-documented events
of such a suspicious and sudden
cattle death on a ranch
where activity of this nature
is known to have taken place.
To this day,
not a single scavenger
- has touched that cow.
- Wow.
It looks just
like the Tic Tac video.
That's some type of propulsion
that we can't understand.
Does that constitute contact?
They approached us.
Those rays reflect
from the ranch property.
We've got indisputable evidence
that's world-changing.
- Agreed.
- Somebody's watching us.
I've been
contacted by some folks
in the intelligence community.
- So, we're being monitored?
- Absolutely.
