The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s02e01 Episode Script

1
My name is Travis Taylor.
I'm an optical scientist,
aerospace engineer
and astrophysicist
who has worked on many
classified programs for NASA
and the intelligence
community for over 30 years.
One year ago, I was invited
to join a small team of scientists
who were investigating a
place called skinwalker ranch.
Now, all I knew was that the
ranch had been associated
with some very strange
ufo activity over the years.
There'd also been reports
of animal mutilations
and other bizarre phenomena.
I was open-minded
but fairly skeptical.
But nothing could've prepared me
for what my colleagues and
I were about to experience.
Do you see the
glow, the flicker?
Yeah, the whole top of
the mountain is glowing.
We were just exposed
to ionizing radiation.
This looks like there's
something a thousand feet long.
- We got something. Hold on.
- Look, look, look!
- What is that?
- It's gone.
Look at the cows.
That is the strangest thing.
There is something
going on out here.
There's no sign of struggle.
It's just dead.
The cow is right here.
I can't help but also notice
there's something here.
Now I've been invited back.
And this time, I've got a better
idea of what we're dealing with.
And this year,
we're going to start
finding the answers
to why this 512-acre
stretch of land is one
of the strangest places
on the planet earth.
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.
We're approaching the ranch.
All right.
My name is Brandon fugal,
and I'm the owner
of skinwalker ranch.
The ranch continues to surprise
and astound, I think, all of us
that are involved
with this investigation.
Dr. Lee, it's a privilege to
have you come out to the ranch
and engage with the
team, right here on-site.
Yeah, this is an incredible
experience for me
to be able to visit
the ranch and to
see some of things
that you've been involved
with over the last few years.
After the repeated injuries
with Thomas winterton,
and then dr. Taylor
having radiation injuries
that remain unexplained,
I thought it was important
that we bring in a professional
that is not only credentialed
but someone that I trust.
A good share of
dr. Lee's practice involves
clinical research into
radiation oncology,
and I've come to trust him
as not only a medical advisor
but as someone that
doesn't screw around.
So, dr. Lee, as we
fly into the ranch here,
just to the north of
these observation towers
is skinwalker ridge.
Many of the phenomena we've
seen have come from skinwalker ridge,
so I try to be extra
careful as we fly over,
just to avoid any
electromechanical issues
that could arise from From
some of that phenomena.
But I'll fly out here just
Just south of it to be safe.
We know that we're dealing
with potentially
dangerous phenomenon.
There are certain
risks associated
with activity on the ranch, but
I think it's time to take the
investigation to another level.
I'm anxious to get some answers.
Here's the helipad.
We're making our
final approach in here.
It's a thrill to have
the whole team
come back together in order
to continue the investigation.
This is a multidisciplinary
team of professionals.
People who bring to the
table not only scientific
expertise but also advanced
technology experience.
- Everybody's waiting to see you.
- Very good.
- We're excited to have you back.
- It's good to be back.
Remarkable things
happened this past year,
and to build on that
momentum, to further understand
the phenomena and
what is really at play
on this unique piece of property
is really exciting.
Well, it's, good to see you back
at skinwalker ranch, dr. Taylor.
- Thank you.
- I'd like to introduce all of you
to dr. Chris lee.
He's a nationally-recognized
radiation oncologist.
Having him as an outside
medical consultant is
a vital part of establishing
the health and safety protocols
here at skinwalker ranch.
I appreciate meeting all of you.
So, I know I'm a visitor
today, and, this is my first time
being here, but, I
believe that safety is
of utmost importance, and I
do think that it's critical to know
exactly what to
do, when to do it,
how to do it and the
proper methods, so
I've offered to Brandon
I can lend my expertise
with regard to safety
or radiation exposures,
or if there's questions
regarding, um,
some of the
electromagnetic phenomenon
that they've been experiencing.
I also would like to have dragon
take on the added
role and responsibility
of being the safety
officer at the ranch,
in order to not only
ensure that everyone is kept
healthy, but, really kept safe.
I'm-I'm happy to do it.
And we have Kaleb to
be able to watch over
the more day-to-day
security side of things.
So that, you know, we can focus
on, you know, the investigation
- and what we're doing as a team.
- Speaking of that,
I do have some other issues
I got to go get taken care of,
- so I'll leave you guys to it.
- We'll let you get to work.
- Thanks, Kaleb.
- Thanks, Kaleb.
So next, Travis,
as you come out
and, rejoin the effort,
are you prepared for another
stint here at skinwalker ranch?
Well, what we saw last time
was some extremely
unusual things
that you can't explain
with modern physics,
or at least we can't yet.
And so, the opportunity
to come back out here
and see if we can see
what it really is, is-is
It's exciting, and I appreciate
you inviting me back out.
Well, it's been interesting
in that during the off-season,
we've had no
shortage of incidents
that have taken place.
In fact, we've continued
to track and monitor events
that have con-continued to
occur here on the property.
Well, and hopefully we
can figure out something
that will stimulate
these events to occur.
If we can figure out the
switch that makes it happen,
instead of it always being
sort of we-we got lucky
and caught it this time,
then that would be huge.
That's exciting.
What would you propose
as far as experiments?
I would actually like
to look underneath
the surface of the ranch.
So, last year,
there was this fear of
digging on the ranch.
We should see what happens
when we do something
like digging a hole.
I know for a fact
crap goes down when people
start disturbing the earth.
I have to say unequivocally
say no digging.
So, as a result, we
didn't do much research
into looking at what's
underneath the property.
There have been
stories and legends
of what might be underneath
the ground here, like
ancient meteorites,
alien spacecraft
and even underground bases.
Perhaps this secret base
could be the source of
all this weird transient energy
that we've been experiencing.
I think if we're gonna
get to the bottom
of what's going on here,
we're gonna have to start
looking underneath the ground,
and maybe that means we're
gonna have to start digging.
Last time, we had Travis out
and stuff like that,
it was your mandate
that there was not to
be any invasive digging.
And so, you know,
I took that seriously,
and in order to explore
what Travis is talking
about and, you know,
the possibility of
something larger, you know,
I will follow your lead.
Yeah.
Um, well, without digging,
we could try looking
at photogrammetry,
lidar, scanning.
Well, you know, as you guys
have been talking about this,
just to the west
of homestead two
is a fairly significant
hole of size,
big enough you could
probably put a car in.
But it's been
filled up with trees
and branches,
and you can't see down into it.
You can't tell how deep it
is or-or how far down it goes.
And so, you know,
one of the days
I was irrigating, I thought,
you know, just out of curiosity,
I'm gonna divert
some of the water
down into that hole and see
how long it takes to fill it up.
It took about three
and a half hours
to fill this thing
up to the top.
Now, the interesting thing was,
is that after taking
three hours to fill it up,
the water disappeared out
of sight within 15 minutes.
Wow.
That's unbelievable.
I thought that water would
be sitting there for weeks.
And so, you know, I think
it would be interesting to
take and fill that back up again
and see if maybe we can trace
where that water is going.
That's a good idea.
You know, the
ground-penetrating radar
did show some strange
anomalies at depth there.
Last year, we did
ground-penetrating radar,
and we found some
weird anomalies
right in the middle of the road
right in front of homestead
two and right in front of that pit.
We found some dome features
anywhere from eight to 25 feet.
Almost looked as
though there was the top
of a tunnel and the
base of a tunnel
A tunnel.
Where there's
smoke, there's fire.
Yeah, I'm really
liking this idea.
I think we can get a lot
of information out of it
if we do this in
the right order.
And putting some water in there,
we can follow that with some dye
and perhaps trace
the flow of that water
and see if it emerges
somewhere else on the property,
perhaps even in
the creek out there.
- Nice.
- That's exciting.
I'd like to get to the bottom
of whether there really is
a cave system
beneath this ranch.
We can address
this right now, then.
I mean, I think
these are great ideas.
And, you know, if
it comes to the point
where you are curious about,
you know, seeing what's deeper,
if we can't get
satisfactory answers
by the noninvasive stuff,
then, you know, we'll have to
open up that area of discussion
when it comes to d-digging
and disturbing the earth again.
I'll look forward
to your guidance.
Well, thank you all
for coming together.
Dr. Lee and I have to, depart.
- You bet. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thanks, Brandon.
I'm real excited.
There have been so
many stories about
there being something
underground here
at skinwalker ranch.
This hole may be the answer.
Hopefully, if something
happens, we'll get some data for it.
Well, that's it.
I guess we better get to work.
This-this is the hole
you were talking about?
Yeah.
How deep do you think it is?
Well, I'm not sure.
Don't know how-how much
that stuff's piled up on there.
There's this hole
over at homestead two.
It's filled with brush
and trees and debris,
and I've observed
water disappearing
in very rapidly.
And the water's got to
be going somewhere,
especially when I look around
and all I see is
clay everywhere.
Clay just doesn't
allow water to seep in.
I can't help but wonder
if it's not an opening
or some kind of tunnel
that this water
is escaping into.
You know, I've tried
to poke down in there.
It-it feels like it could
go down further,
but I just don't know.
I know it took a
long time to fill up.
- How 'bout that.
- But then only took about
- 20 minutes to drain, right?
- Yeah.
- About 15 minutes.
- Now, that tells you there's something.
There's a hole or
something under it, right?
Yeah.
If all that water that
Thomas dumped in this pit
is not reappearing
somewhere else on the ranch,
then there has to be a massive
void of some kind below it.
Nothing else would
really explain it.
The question is whether
or not it's a natural void,
and that's what
we're going to find out.
- So
- What so what I need to do to help?
Well, we're just getting this
ditch opened up right here.
Just diverting the stream.
So, a couple feet away
from this pit is
a little irrigation ditch
that takes the
water out to the field.
So we're gonna dig a
channel from this ditch
and divert the water
from going to the field
and instead running
into this sinkhole.
- Come on, dragon!
- Sorry, man. Sorry.
That's easy
Ten gallons a minute.
Well, that's about triple the
rate that I had the first time.
Easy ten gallons a minute.
Man, I wish I had a
five-gallon bucket and a clock.
I actually think
I may have a five-gallon
bucket over there.
Let me go see if I can find one.
I want to measure
just how much water
we're dumping in this pit.
So, with a five-gallon
bucket and a stopwatch
Hey. Here we go.
I'll calculate how
long it takes to fill it up.
All right, I'm ready
when you are.
Three, two, one, go.
So, that's about four
gallons in two seconds.
120 gallons a minute.
Even as fast as that's going in,
I'm-I'm still shocked
it's not coming up faster.
Right.
And at this rate, it's
gonna be filled up
before I can get
down there and back.
So I'm gonna go get Erik
and the rest of the people
and the and that dye.
- 'Kay.
- All right? I'll be right back.
- 'Kay.
- Sounds good.
Man, y'all don't go
swimming in that.
Ain't no telling what's
at the bottom of it.
We're not from Alabama.
Ha!
We're bringing the whole
team out to the sinkhole,
so we'll have more
eyes to look around
in case something happens.
Our plan is to use
a green dye as a tracker dye.
Perfectly safe.
It's environmentally friendly.
So it's not gonna hurt anything.
And you pour it in the water
and you watch for it to
come out somewhere,
and you'll know that
that's the pathway
that the water is taking.
Look what the cat
dragged in, guys.
What's up, Casey?
Welcome back, man.
I'm Casey smith.
I work for qual-tek associates.
I have a degree in geology,
particularly hydrology,
so it's groundwater.
And so they wanted
to bring me in
to help with the tracer test.
So, you guys
ready to put this in?
Yeah, I'd say we
need to pour it in.
- Where do you want it?
- Dump it in.
- All right.
- Watch this stuff.
It's-it's cool when-when
it hits look at that.
Wow.
- Is that not awesome?
- Not what I expected.
- It's like the ninja turtles.
- Yeah!
- Secret of the Secret of the ooze here.
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
As this mixes, it may take a
You know, a little
while for it to go.
Here's what I think
what we should do is
just stop it complete, as
close to completely as we can.
The next thing we need to do
is dam up our flow
of water into the pit
so the dye can drain out.
Then we can all go check to see
if it emerges anywhere
else on the ranch.
If not, then there's
only one place to look
Deep below this pit.
They got it blocked off.
It's gonna start draining.
Ready.
But we need to divide
and conquer here.
We need to all pick
some-some spaces.
I think, like, me and
you and, Thomas,
we can handle whatever
we got to do here, right?
- Erik, what do you want to do?
- Well, I think we should head
to the south, down
to the, the big creek.
I'll take tom and
kandus, and we'll go hit
- this middle section right here.
- Okay.
- Sure.
- Hey, guys.
It's already dropped a foot
since we-we just stopped.
I mean, I set these bottles
right at the edge of the water.
So it's draining quickly. You
guys need to get out there
and start looking
for this stuff, all right?
Sounds good.
We'll get out of here.
Nice.
I was really fortunate that
my friend cico was able
to join Erik and I.
He's a drone operator,
so that we could
cover way more ground
and be able to, you know,
hopefully see if there
was any dye coming out.
We went to one part
where we thought it may
come out into the river.
If we find the dye
coming out in the river
or in the field somewhere,
you know what,
that's an answer, so we
have an answer to questions.
This the spot?
Yeah, this is it.
Now, if we don't find
it, then, you know,
it's gonna warrant
further investigation.
So, I think if we land
right in about this area,
you can probably
get drone footage
- Cool.
- Up and around.
Plus, we can see
with our physical eyes
- the water coming down here.
- All right.
- Should we throw it up?
- Yeah, put it up.
I'm anxious to see
you fly this thing.
See what happens.
You just tell me which
way you want me to go.
Yeah, the homesteads
are off in that direction.
- Okay.
- So
We'll just follow the
river down that way.
I mean, you can
follow the river back up.
If you see any
discolorations, just shout it out.
So, let's just follow
this water channel.
There's a good
trail through here,
and we'll just go
all the way down
and see if we can find that dye.
- Okay.
- All right.
I personally thought
that the water,
if it might come up
anywhere, would be
one of the areas that I've
been able to go through
doing a lot of my patrols.
There's areas of the
ground that are very wet.
I've gone through
there where there's been
about a foot of
water in some areas.
And it's just random on
where that water's coming up.
Travis, you got me? It's Kaleb.
Yeah, man. What's going on?
We're just down in
the southwest corner.
Gets pretty marshy through here,
so maybe it's coming
up here somewhere.
Well, most of the water's
drained out of the hole,
so it went somewhere.
Just keep looking.
Will do. Out.
That's a lot of water
that went away.
Yeah.
We put 45,000 gallons of water
into this hole.
And at least 80% of it
was gone within an hour.
You know, there's no telling
where this is gonna run out.
To me, that looks downhill.
You know, appearance,
yes, we think that's downhill.
But what we don't
see is, you know,
what's underneath us, right?
We could have a bed
layer that's, you know,
sloping back towards the mesa.
So, that actually
could be downhill
- for this water?
- Yeah.
You know, where we
drilled is just right
Like, what, 20 feet right there?
- Yeah.
- Last summer
Let's take a look
at the data here.
After we used the
ground-penetrating radar
in front of homestead two
and detected those strange
tunnel-like anomalies,
we all agreed to drill a hole
to see what the heck
those anomalies were.
That whole thing's shaking.
What is our depth?
We're right now at about 17.
I think that's right
in the range where we
were getting that ping.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Are you getting something?
No.
- Just normal background?
- Yeah.
We didn't find
anything by drilling.
But now it's strange
that all this water's
draining down somewhere
right next to where we
found those anomalies.
I say the first place
to look is in that hole.
We ought to run
something down in there
and see if any of this
green stuff is getting into it.
I think we should.
All right. Let's try that.
Here's the hole.
I think we can probably
see down in there.
Look. You can see
the water down here.
- See any green?
- I can't tell.
Let's see how deep it is. See
if we can get one of those
Get the pipes down in there.
See if you get some
green water on it.
I think we should.
Yeah.
I'm in mud.
Here, hold on.
I'll put a top on it.
Pull it up quick.
Well, I don't see
any green water.
No, looks pretty clear.
You'd think we'd
find the dyed water
in the hole closest to
where we had diverted it,
but it's not there.
Where in the heck
did all that water
that we pumped into the hole go?
- I don't think there's any green in there.
- Yeah.
- Broke right off.
- Well,
- I don't think there's any green in there.
- Yeah.
We pumped about 45,000
gallons of dyed water
down into this hole,
and now it's just gone.
Let's go look in the cistern
to see if there might be
- the green dye leached into it.
- Okay.
So, the next logical place
that Thomas and Casey
and I are going to check
is the old cistern
behind homestead two.
You got your flashlight, right?
Yeah, I got it.
Just come right through here.
The thicket that I
wanted to go through,
it's very dense.
You almost need
to have some kind
of tool to get through there,
like a machete or an ax
to get through some
of those branches.
Here's some water,
down right here.
- Do you see any dye?
- No, no dye.
It's curious.
We still don't know
where this water's going.
Let's head back out.
We're about 450 feet out
from where we started.
You can see the bottom.
- Right. That's cool.
- The map. The What
The terrain we're tracing.
We've spent a lot of time
looking for this fluorescent
green dye to show up,
and as of yet, we haven't
found any traces of it.
If somebody'd keep
an eye on the water.
Looks like normal water so far.
I'd be shocked if we
were able to see something
at this point, as much
as it would be diluted.
- Sure.
- Sure.
This place just has
a specific smell to me.
I don't know if it does to
y'all or not, but I smell it.
Homestead two's not only
one of the creepiest-looking
places on the ranch
but it's also where a lot
of strange phenomena
and events have occurred.
People have heard creepy voices.
They've had lost time events.
And Robert bigelow's team
actually claimed that they saw
a portal open up
by homestead two
and a creature crawl out of it.
And I've had my own
weird experiences here, too.
Right around the
corner, this is where
the radiation event happened.
Last summer,
I had symptoms of
radiation sickness.
It's filled with something.
I feel, like, a I don't know.
I got a little bit of a headache
or something happening.
My dosimeter went off.
Holy cr Mine's beeping.
I had radiation sickness,
flu-like symptoms for a week,
and I had burns
and rashes appear.
I'll move it this time.
- How about that?
- All right, all right.
The water's really clear.
- I can see Wow, look at that.
- It's super clear.
So, I guess you
don't see any green.
No, I don't.
So, the dose readings in here
have actually dropped, so
we're getting some shielding
from the concrete, probably.
But it's actually lower
- in here.
- Okay. All right.
Hey, Travis. You copy?
Yeah, dragon. What's going on?
Unfortunately, really nothing.
We've run the drone.
We really don't
see anything yet.
Well, that's interesting.
We haven't found anything
yet here around, homestead two.
I wonder if Kaleb has seen
anything where they are.
Okay, well, I think we're gonna
head back to the command center.
So, when you guys are ready,
you can meet us back there,
and we'll powwow
and formulate a plan.
All right, that sounds good.
We'll see you
there in a little bit.
Well, there you go. So
From the very first day
I stepped on this
ranch, we've had
crazy rf readings. We saw ufos.
I got dosed by radiation.
We had a cow die.
And then we put 45,000
gallons of water into this hole.
So, where did it go?
Is there an underground
opening that the water fell into?
It's another just weird
thing about skinwalker ranch.
I think, g-gather our
stuff and head back.
- Sounds good.
- All right. - Okay.
Greetings, gentlemen.
How are you?
- Hey, Brandon.
- Hey, Brandon, we're fine.
So how did the
investigation go today,
and, what's, what's the latest?
Really, we didn't see
anything, to be honest,
but with that, it opens
the question as to
where is all of
that water going,
and how are we
gonna figure that out?
That's, significant.
Brandon, I'd like your
permission to be able to
bring some equipment
on and, dig that brush out,
and maybe even excavate
out some around that hole
and towards the road
where we, drilled at.
We find ourselves
in a situation again
in which the subject
of digging is coming up.
It's not a subject
that we engage lightly,
given all the things
that have happened
in connection with digging.
Um, I really
appreciate your efforts,
but we know that things
have happened on that ranch,
and continue to happen
when there's construction
activity or any digging.
It bears mentioning that
we saw 45,000 gallons
of water disappear.
It must be going
somewhere rapidly.
I don't see anything
that says don't do it.
That is motivation
enough to start at least
some kind of digging
into the problem.
Dragon, do you feel that
the digging is warranted?
Well, Brandon, I
mean, obviously,
the lore associated
with digging,
there's no way to
protect against that.
But we put some safety
protocols in place now.
We've had Casey
with qal-tek back out.
Yeah, I think that it's time
that we need to get
below the ground.
Well, based on recommendation,
you have my
permission to proceed.
But proceed with great caution.
We'll do it.
Okay, we'll keep you
posted on what we find out.
Thanks again, Brandon.
Okay, bye.
- There it is.
- We're gonna dig a hole. - Yeah.
He's given us the go-ahead to
bring in some heavy equipment
and do some digging.
It could be the key
to figuring out what
exactly is going on here,
or at least give us direction
as to where we need to go next.
In the meantime, we
got a lot of stuff to do.
- That's right. - Let's get out of here.
- All right, man.
You guys all loaded up in
the jeep, ready to come out?
Copy that, dragon.
We're all here.
We're on our way out. We'll be
out there in just a few minutes.
- Copy that. See you.
- Over and out.
Couple days ago, we
ran a dye test by the pit
over at homestead two
to find out where
the water was going.
But after the test,
we still don't know
why it disappeared
or where it went to.
We all got a little bit
of bad vibe juju, mojo
about digging, right?
And we don't none
of us believe it,
but at the same time,
we want to do it cautiously.
Yeah. I think we can make
our own protocol and, you know,
say every two, three
feet, let's just sample.
And we'll be
monitoring constantly.
The other thing, too, that
I want y'all to be aware of,
I think dragon's really nervous.
He don't want to
show it, but I think he is.
- Yeah, I don't blame him.
- So, let's
Let's just make sure
that he understands
that we're doing everything
that we can possibly
think of to do to
keep everybody safe.
Absolutely.
It's a good thing I'm
so cautious about this
or I'd have just
started digging.
- Getting tired of waiting.
- Right?
Brandon gave us
permission to dig,
so Thomas got a mini
excavator delivered to the ranch.
We've got Casey here
with all sorts of test equipment
to make sure we're not being
exposed to something dangerous,
and we're gonna start digging.
Brandon's given us
the go-ahead to dig,
but with that, I want to make
sure that we do so cautiously.
So, Casey, thank you again
for coming all the way out here,
um, and bringing
all your equipment.
It's no secret that I
have concerns whenever
the topic of digging on
the ranch is brought up.
As excited as we are
about this, every time that
someone does a major
digging on this property,
then bad things happen.
Prior to last year,
Thomas winterton had
a very serious head injury
that almost took his life.
We almost lost
him because of it.
Now, I know that
there are answers
that we're trying to
get to the bottom of
that may actually require
more of that sort of activity,
but I want to make sure that
we're not getting
ourselves in trouble.
- Are we ready?
- You ready to start digging?
- Yeah.
- Well, let's get set up
- and let's-let's get moving.
- All right, sounds good.
And away we go.
The first step is
to clean that brush
out of that hole,
dig down and try to figure out
where that water's
disappearing to.
Just wait for him to get
more of those
branches out of the way.
Yeah, that's gonna
be great to see
what's down at the
bottom of that thing.
I think we're looking
for a couple of things
with this digging exercise.
We're interested in locating
an exit point
for all that water.
Second, we're interested
in determining whether we,
in the process of
digging, perhaps stir up
something radioactive,
something that may
have been detected
in our earlier exercises.
There's a lot of stuff
in that hole, man.
And, of course, there's
always the question of,
when you upset the
earth, does anything
ranch phenomenon
related take place?
Hey, Thomas?
- Yeah?
- Let's do a safety sweep
- while we got it right here.
- Okay.
For the dig today, I brought
my radiation equipment.
I brought back the rad defender,
which is our sensitive
gamma probe.
Basically, what we can
do with that-that probe
is we can attach it to the end
and telescope it out without,
you know And we can be back
at a safe distance from
whatever we're doing.
You know, I mean, that
dirt looks a little sandy here,
but you can barely
call this a hole.
I don't know where
45,000 gallons went.
- Yeah, where?
- Yeah, 45,000 gallons
of water with the green
dye in it that we never found.
Right? Where did it go?
More background, so
- Okay.
- Um, so I don't see anything above
- Above my background.
- Okay.
I'm gonna get out of your way.
We can start digging dirt.
So, we've got the
brush cleared out.
Not locating any
trace of dye anywhere.
The next step really is to
dig down and try to figure out
where that water
is disappearing to.
- Look at that.
- That is like potting soil.
You guys should
take a look at this,
what's happening
with-with kaleb's phone.
So, what all's it doing?
It's doing what it's
done in the past.
It goes into different apps.
It's taken a couple screenshots.
I don't have any
control over it.
It shut itself off,
it's turning back on,
and it just goes right
past my pass code.
It's just instantly
hacking that.
And it just goes right past it.
That's-that's almost
technologically impossible
- to do, and it's doing it instantaneously?
- Yup.
We just start
digging out the pit,
and kaleb's phone
is really wigging out.
It's like somebody has
opened up his phone,
unlocked the pass code, and
is going through all of his apps,
trying to dial random contacts.
Currently, even the
national security agency
doesn't even have the technology
to hack that kind of encryption.
That is startling to me.
And it-it tried calling, 911
and my dispatch
number within a minute.
That startles me.
So, if you go to
the exotic, then,
something here is
crying out for help.
Or is it giving us a warning?
So, here we are digging
this hole, and kaleb's screen
starts opening up apps,
trying to make phone calls.
To me, that's one This is
one of the most
startling things because
if there's something
that has that kind
of decryption
hacking capability,
that, to me, scares
the hell out of me.
Kaleb's phone
wigging out is-is really
Is freaking me out.
That can't be done.
You can't hack the iphone.
Well, I'm gonna tell you,
just based on previous history,
I've done digging before with
my equipment, and it's been
a day or two later that
something really bad
has happened to the equipment,
even up to the point of throwing
a rod through the motors.
So, you know, it's not
always instantaneous.
That exact phone has done
these things when the cow died.
My phone starts freaking out
whenever your trifield goes off.
I don't have any control
over my phone right now.
When the rockets
were shooting off
One. Ignition.
Every time we've had
something big happening
at the ranch, it seems like
he's got issues with that phone.
It's just been doing this
for the last couple minutes.
Well, I mean, we
need to figure out
what we can scratch
off the list, right?
- Whoa. Whoa.
- Is it doing it again?
I'm changing my password,
and it is Interfering with it.
Wow.
It's never done
this off the ranch.
Hey, Erik, you got your-your
cell phone with you?
- I do. I'm getting
- Snap some video of that really quick.
I'm gonna try to get We
have to get out of the sunlight
- so I can actually see this.
- Yeah.
Well, why would somebody
be hacking your phone
in the middle of the uintah
basin, you know, in Utah?
Well, we know its
screen is broken.
Yeah, the screen is
broken, but that's where I
I have normal function with it
even with the broken screen.
Like, there's no
interference when I'm using it.
I mean, another thing, too.
How does a? Even if
it's got a cracked screen,
how does it get
past the password?
Well, the only
thing I can say is
Keep an eye on it.
If it does anything else,
let us know, but
other than that,
I mean, let's get back
to what we're here for.
I say, dig on.
Kaleb's phone was
freaking me out and
I-I really can't explain it,
but nothing weird is
happening other than that,
so I say we keep digging
to see where this water went.
Hey, Thomas, we're gonna
do a quick check on that spot.
- It feels like it's just pure clay.
- It is.
Nothing?
Nothing.
And you haven't hit anything
other than just
soft clay dirt, right?
It's just cl it
feels like just clay.
- You're a hydrologist, right?
- Yeah.
Would you expect
wa 45,000 gallons
to go down through
that so quick?
I mean, there could
be other places.
There's voids here that
we're not we-we haven't saw.
I mean, and so, that
could be a possibility.
Clay just doesn't
allow water to seep in,
and I can't help but
wonder if it's not an opening
or some kind of tunnel that
this water is escaping into.
Around here, we line
our ponds with clay
- because it holds the water.
- Right.
So, where did the water go?
Thomas has dug all the
way down to about 16 feet,
and we still don't know
where that 45,000 gallons
of water went.
It's getting late, so we're
just gonna wrap it up
and go back and think
about what are next step is.
And out of all of this,
nobody's meters went crazy
- Nothing. Nothing.
- No-no weird detections?
The only thing is
kaleb's crazy phone thing.
Yeah.
Just a little more than
eight hours after digging
down at the pit by
homestead two on the ranch,
we're sitting down,
eating hamburgers
around the picnic
table outside my trailer,
and then Kaleb shines
his light into the woods.
And I'm like, "what's going on?"
And he says, "well,
do you guys hear that?"
So, I get up and
walk behind him.
And as we turn the corner,
there is this unmistakable
rectangular shaped object
that was glimmering
or shimmering.
And then the thing
instantly vanished.
I'm recording this!
So, Kaleb, point
your right there.
It was right there, something
yellow and goldish color
and it was rectangular.
Kaleb, I thought
it went this way.
I that's what I thought, too.
Just go up there and let's see
if there's tracks or something,
so we can see what we got.
I feel like my training
kind of kicks in and I'm like,
"okay, I'm going after this.
Where-where did it go?"
Kaleb, y'all keep y'all's
gun ready in case it
A cat jumps out and
eats us or something.
I mean, if it, if it ran
through here, that's soft.
There would be tracks.
We didn't see the brush move.
We didn't hear footsteps.
We didn't physically
see it run away.
It just vanished.
That scared the out of me.
I mean, I thought we
were about to be, you know,
having a confrontation
with something
- that wanted to eat us.
- Like a frickin' mountain lion.
- Yeah.
- There is that one hole up there
that I was looking and I,
and I swear I heard, like,
some type of twig snap.
But the only way you can see it
is to put your head
down in the hole.
I'm telling you right now
that there-there was clearly
- something right there watching us eat.
- Yeah.
I'm turning off the
camera, by the way.
As soon as I stopped the video,
looking due south,
something darts across the sky.
It was just a bright streak,
just boom, real quick.
I thought the excitement
was over, and then suddenly
something just
shoots across the sky.
I want to come
out here, all of this.
I want us to come out here
tomorrow in the daylight
and survey the out of this.
First, we find evidence
of a mysterious void
that's right next
to homestead two.
We dig, and then
all of the sudden,
kaleb's phone goes
completely haywire
like someone, or
something, has hacked into it.
And now this really
strange encounter.
I can't help but wonder if all
these things are connected.
And, if like others
before us have warned,
did our digging
cause this response?
Getting the feeling
that we're being watched
or even possibly
stalked by something
while we're outside
just having dinner
really raises the
concern level heavily.
So, we need to be very
vigilant, because this is an area
that is dangerous and things are
constantly going on out here.
There are a few activities
planned for this summer
that have me mildly concerned.
And I have absolutely no
idea what to expect from them.
Just when you least expect
it, the ranch comes alive,
and I want to get some answers.
I want to better understand
what is causing the
phenomena at skinwalker ranch.
Understanding the
nature of these events
that continue to occur,
that defy explanation,
really drives our
investigation forward.
There's still a lot of weird
things about the ranch
that we can't explain.
I do sense a presence here.
I get visitors; Alien activity.
You can see the mesa
glow in that camera.
Unreal.
When you walked
inside the building,
it didn't take any data.
The temperature
around the homestead
began to drop.
You're in launch,
the electromagnetic
spectrum is going crazy, guys.
Hey, look, the cows
Something's got
the cows going nuts.
Thomas has spotted a light.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Right here.
What do you think it is?
It is a portal.
Holy!
We got something,
we got something!
I'm leaving the ranch.
- I'm getting a bad headache.
- Are you serious?
What I saw doesn't belong here.
I'm a little nervous. Hold on.
Hey.
We're engaging the phenomena.
The question is, are you
willing to all accept the risks?
Though something
- could be under us.
- What the hell
- is under us? I don't get it.
- It's stayed with us
- the whole time.
- It's following us.
