The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s02e05 Episode Script

1
We're going to get a
3-d model of homestead two.
I've got some stuff to show you.
Something odd happened here.
When you walked
inside the building,
it didn't take any data.
This ground here is the
gateway for skinwalkers.
What I saw, it
doesn't belong here.
I'm a little nervous. Hold on.
- Hey.
- These entities are out there.
- I already sense it.
- -Holy!
Right there!
Hey, are you
guys seeing anything?
- We're looking at an eye.
- The temperature
around the homestead
began to drop.
There is one other feature.
I want you to see this thing.
Whoa! Whoa!
What is that?
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.
Right there.
What is that?
We have some
moving, unidentified
Sort of object that
appears to be animate.
Why is it cold?
Yeah, if it were an animal,
- it would be hot.
- It would be hot.
As we're watching
the thermal camera footage
that we took last night
during rabbi ariel tzadok's
portal experiment
down at homestead two,
we're seeing not only what
looks like a possible vortex
with a much lower temperature
than its surroundings,
but also some kind of black
object moving across the frame
that is giving off absolutely
no heat signature.
I don't know what
to make of that.
Wow, so, yeah, we need
to understand that better.
- To me this is
- Yeah.
This is Startling.
It's exciting in that
it looks, at least,
in the same sort of
genre of experience as what
the nids guys talked about,
although it wasn't a monster
that crawled out of this portal,
it was we see a weird thing,
and we did see
something in the flir,
but we didn't see
it with our eyes.
A couple weeks ago, retired
army colonel john alexander,
who was part of robert bigelow's
national institute for
discovery science,
that investigated skinwalker
ranch from 1996 to 2016,
he gave an incredible
assessment of what he believes
is causing all the weird
phenomena that happens here.
It's my view that these things
are all connected in some way.
I would say the area
is a portal.
Well, we saw
this strange anomaly.
Could it have been
something like that they saw?
I don't know, but
there is a correlation,
and there's a comparison
that one could make.
Well, we have the
luxury of following up.
You know, we can always
take this instrument back out
to the exact same spot.
I would like to have more
than one infrared camera
looking there,
maybe from a couple
- of different directions.
- Yeah.
And maybe even have,
night vision goggles going.
Everything we can think
of and redo this experiment
and see if we can see anything
like we saw the other night.
People say that when
you try to stimulate
strange phenomena on the ranch,
the ranch sometimes responds.
Last night with
the rabbi here performing
that ancient hebrew ceremony.
It may have caused
whatever that was
that we recorded on the
thermal camera to appear.
Hopefully, we can do
it all again but this time
really figure out just
what the heck it is.
- Well, I appreciate the time, guys.
- Well, of course, erik.
- Thanks.
- Thanks for letting us look at it.
- All right, man.
- Thank you, erik. - Sure thing.
While erik and I were preparing
for the follow-up experiment
at homestead two,
thomas winterton met up with
someone with past experiences
on the ranch named steven wall.
He's actually a member
of the sherman family,
who not only reported
very bizarre and traumatizing
incidents here back
in the mid-1990s
but also similar phenomena to
what we've been investigating,
including the possible
existence of portals.
How many years
has it been since you've been
- on the ranch?
- Almost, almost 30 years, I believe.
I-I'm curious what your feelings
are about coming back on.
Nervous, just anticipating it.
Just seeing it. Seeing
if it's still the same.
Steven is the nephew of gwen
and terry sherman and lived
four years here on the
ranch, when he was a child.
The sherman family
bought the property in the early '90s.
It was their dream
to raise prized cattle.
The shermans quickly
found out, unfortunately,
that, they were not alone.
And it's well documented
that the sherman family
experienced everything
from ufo sightings on the ranch
to disturbing daylight
cattle mutilations.
To really what could
only be described
as terrifying events
on a regular basis.
All of the strange events that
were plaguing the sherman family
motivated them
to sell the property.
Got to be kind of hard to talk
about some of these things
as far as, does it
dredge up old memories,
- old emotions?
- It does. Right now I have
a lot of emotions going
through me right now.
It's bittersweet, I guess,
coming back, though.
I lived here as a small child.
There was some
crazy, bizarre things
that happened that I can
remember as a kid that
I just remember feeling a
little scared, a little nervous.
I think bringing steven on
and getting to the bottom
of some of these stories
that we've heard about the ranch
is going to help us
in our investigation
by leaps and bounds.
- Hey, thomas.
- Hey, guys.
I'd like to introduce
you to steven wall.
- Nice to meet you guys.
- Hey, man.
How you doing?
Good, good.
So, erik and travis
are the scientists here
on the ranch, and
bryant is head of security
and also our safety officer.
I'm just wondering if
you can walk us through
some of the things
as they come to mind,
some places that we can look at,
where there are
stories associated with it.
Okay. Well, y'all
want to walk over here.
- All right.
- Everything I know
about the time when
terry and gwen sherman
lived on the ranch is known
through the public record.
I've never had the opportunity
to speak with them personally.
I think it's special for our
whole team to hear from steven.
We are walking down
to an area where we've been told
about some dogs
that were killed.
The vaporizing dogs, right?
They weren't vaporized.
- They were compressed into the ground.
- Compressed?
What do you mean by compressed?
Like something fell on them
- or what?
- Like something heavy smashed them.
Really?
Something actually looked like
- they were just squashed into the dirt?
- Yeah.
From what I remember, a blue orb
came bouncing down
off them rocks right there.
They believe a
blue orb killed the dogs?
Is that what you're
saying? Really?
You heard that
story from the people
who actually saw it
with their own eyes?
- I saw it with my own eyes.
- You saw it?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
When I was a kid, me
and my uncle saw something
coming down off from the mesa.
As we were standing
by the house,
it looked like a
bouncing ball, an orb,
I guess you would call it,
but it was like a blue color.
I remember hearing
the dogs whimper.
And then I remember
finding the dogs smashed.
I don't really know
what happened,
but I just know that
man couldn't do that.
I've been told about an
area having been burned
in the vicinity of
each of the animals,
like, a circle in
the ground and
Did that actually happen?
- Like, it was charred
- It looked like something hot
sat right there in-in the weeds.
- Really?
- And this is around the dog,
almost like whatever
compressed them was hot
- and it burned the earth?
- It was one big circle,
- or was it a circle around each animal?
- Each animal.
So, almost like the
outside edge was hot,
and whatever smashed them
down to the ground wasn't
and just pressed
them into the dirt?
When I hear these
detailed stories
like orbs appearing and
crushing the shermans' dogs,
they're hard to
believe at face value.
But just a month ago,
right after we excavated
a mysterious pit
near homestead two,
that night, while we
were eating dinner,
both kaleb bench and I saw a
glowing object near my trailer.
It was right there.
Something yellow
and goldish color,
and it was rectangular.
You know, we
ought to keep moving
and look for other spots
that you want to show us.
- Maybe head down closer to homestead two.
- I agree.
As a scientist,
I'm still struggling
with steven's story.
But he's so sincere about
what he claims happened.
And given what I've seen myself,
I wonder more and more if there
really could be things going
on here at skinwalker ranch
that conventional science
just isn't going to explain.
If you can at
all be specific about
Here, if there you
know, if possible.
- Obviously it was 30 years ago, but
- Okay, yeah, well, keep going.
So, so you start getting
down in here, and this is where
gets a little crazy around here.
So right here on
this knoll right here
is where everything
just gets crazy,
and it seemed like it all
focused around this right here.
As we were driving
toward homestead two
with steven wall, who
lived here with the shermans
back in the 1990s,
all of a sudden, he
gets really freaked out.
The first story that I can
really, really
hard-core remember
Down there, there's a gulch.
- Yeah. - Yep.
- Okay. Right over there
you could see something
open up in the sky.
Something came out of it.
A peach-colored
object up there, okay?
Me and my uncle saw it
coming through the field,
but it come working its way up
through them
russian olive trees,
and it came up and just
scouted these trees just like this.
God.
It came up, went over the canal,
and it drove down the
path of that road right there.
I want to make
sure I've understood.
You-you described
a scouting behavior,
like a searching behavior?
Yes, like they were,
they were searching
through the trees,
and it went straight up,
and that hole closed.
Wow. That's interesting.
Different people
described seeing
an opening, a
portal or whatever.
Maybe this is a spot that we
need to investigate for that.
It's amazing to meet
another firsthand witness
who believes he may have seen
a portal open on
skinwalker ranch.
Steven seemed very sincere,
and it's well-known
that his aunt and uncle,
gwen and terry sherman,
were literally terrified so much
by what they experienced here
that they left the
property in 1996
and have never been back.
Over here on
this ridge right here
- Wow.
- That's exactly where it all happens.
It's really interesting that
steven mentioned this location.
Several of our
investigations have led us
to focus attention on what
we've been calling the "triangle."
We have magnetic anomalies,
we have equipment, I
would say, malfunctions.
Last year, on my very
first day here on skinwalker ranch,
something weird happened in
this exact area up on the mesa.
Hey, hand me that meter.
Yeah, this is pegging out.
What's it saying?
It's in the milliwatts
per meter squared.
I mean that's a significant
amount of energy right there.
Look, it is going nuts.
Then, a couple weeks later,
we got more radiation spikes
from three spots
across the ranch
all pointing to this same area,
but about a mile high
above the property.
Three, two, one, let it launch.
So we launched a weather
balloon with instruments,
- hoping to find the energy source.
- Good launch.
This is not updating.
Dude, I've flown
this thing 30 times,
more than 30 times,
it's never failed on me.
And the balloon just
disappeared off the radar.
Steven, I can't thank
you enough for all the things
you've shown us
and shared with us,
and you've really set a lot
of the stories straight for me,
and, I just appreciate you
coming out and giving your time.
Absolutely. Well,
you're welcome.
It's good to be back
and just-just see
that it's still the same as
it was when I was a child.
Well, I guess we should
probably be headed back.
- All right. Yep. Yep.
- Sounds good.
- He's here.
- Yeah.
Fellas, I want you to meet
guy blocker. He's from trgus.
- Hi, guy.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Hey, guy. How you doing? Travis.
- Hi, travis.
Tonight, we're
going to reproduce
the experiment we did when
rabbi ariel tzadok was here,
and he did a nighttime
chant ceremony.
And we're going to
replay that over a sound system.
If we can see the temperature
change in the infrared cameras,
and if we can see
this weird black anomaly
moving around again,
then we are that
much closer to proving
that there is a correlation
between the rabbi's chants
and seeing these
possible portal phenomena.
I'm interested in seeing
what it is you saw.
What we did see was,
looking at a particular location,
that the temperature dropped in
probably 20 degrees cooler than
the area around it.
And we always try and
improve on our experiments.
This one we hope
to be bigger, better,
and we hope to create
a bigger reaction.
We've already been out
setting up some of the stuff.
- Okay.
- I'd like to get you out there
and get set up while we
still got good lighting, so
Okay.
I'd say let's grab
that, put it in our jeep,
and have you ride over with us.
What we're going to try to
do when we set up is, we're going
to have the target
area in focus,
get our cameras set
up so we can maximize
the effectiveness
of our sensors.
With the handheld sensors,
we're also able to monitor anything
that's going on around us.
So, even though the
main event is in front,
there may be something else
that may be attached to that
we also want to document.
All right, well, let's get to
putting hooking stuff up,
- turning stuff on, and getting set up.
- Okay.
I guess we got a
lot of work to do still.
In addition to guy's thermal
and infrared cameras,
erik and I also set
up every energy
and radiation
detector that we have.
And just in case
something happens
that mysteriously shorts out
any of our electronic devices,
we also set up old
school thermometers
in and outside of the
homestead building
to make sure we measure any
strange drops in temperature
like we got the other night.
I think this is the most
instruments we've put out
- at once before, erik.
- You know, travis,
I think we set a new record
- every time we do one of these exercises.
- Right, well,
you know what? If something
happens, I want to see it
with as many things
as we can see it with.
Amen to that.
Look, this is a really
speculative exercise
when we start talking
about portals and such.
But in this particular
location on skinwalker ranch,
anything is apparently possible.
And if we do, in fact, cause
some of this phenomenology
to manifest, we absolutely
want to document it.
We're getting really
close to being set up.
- Yeah, we're about there.
- I think it's just a few minor tweaks
and then we just wait
for nightfall to run sound.
Hey, guys. I have all
the cameras on record,
so we're recording right now.
Why don't you guys get
in place and when you get there,
give me a call, and
we'll start the-the
Yeah.
- The rabbi's singing.
- Sounds good.
Kaleb and I decided
that we would go down to the road
and watch the
ceremony from there.
The first time we saw
some type of object
that seemed to dart down
around the area of the road.
And so definitely having eyes
on it from a different perspective
could prove to be useful
as this experiment unfolds.
That's good, thomas. Tell
me I'm not seeing you
in there, so you're
in a good spot.
- We are ready.
- Ready here, too.
Just seconds after the recording
of the rabbi's
ceremony began to play,
there was an obvious
rise in temperature
being shown across
the top of homestead two
on the thermal camera feed.
It was crazy. Just like
a switch got flipped.
While the chant's playing,
right at the doorway
of homestead two,
the temperature changes
It gets hot by, like,
nine degrees more
than the surrounding area.
I can't explain that.
Now, if you want to look for
a stretch, an
exotic explanation,
the rabbi said it was a chant
that's supposed
to open up a portal.
So maybe that's what's
causing this strange
temperature anomaly to occur.
Well, several things happened
while the ceremony was going
and the screen
got completely hot,
and now it's sort of
filtering back to normal.
- Slowly. Yeah.
- Yeah. Slowly, right?
I wasn't really
sure what to expect.
I got to say I was,
quite surprised
by what we did encounter.
It's been the first time
that I've been in a place
using thermal and
watched the temperature
change so drastically.
You know, on the
first experiment,
we saw a lot of things after
the ceremony was finished.
You want us to
head back up there
or do you want us to stay
put for a few more minutes?
Stay put. We're
watching it closely,
and if we start seeing
what we saw last time,
I'll tell you guys
to rush in there.
What's so wild is how
this looks normal now.
And all this was this blue stuff
I mean, it was
just bright hot red.
T-that's just so weird.
It makes no sense that
we hit the play button
on an acoustic recording
and the temperature
The temperature changed.
The temperature.
- The temperature spiked, it went up.
- It was crazy.
Rabbi tzadok performed
that chant specifically
to open a portal, so it
just makes you wonder
Did playing that chant back
cause the temperature to spike?
And, if so, just what
does that mean?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, come here.
I've got movement in the back.
It's, like, in the back
window or something, dude.
Are you seeing it?
What the hell?
The-the flir just
In the window.
Guys, so, the back window
of the homestead there
was a definite flickering
in the window. I don't
know what it was.
All right. Well, we're going
to head down that way.
We'll watch for you.
I'm seeing that again.
- Guys, I see it.
- It's right there. Yeah.
Back corner of the house!
Back corner of the house!
Back corner of the house!
Guys, what's going on?
Thomas is running,
thomas is running.
They're running around crazy.
Right here.
There was something
f-flickering right here.
I've seen it a couple times,
- and he saw it the second time.
- All right.
This is crazy.
Hey, I think we're getting a,
temperature vortex
starting like we had last time,
and it's right above
the, homestead.
I want to see this thermometer.
Twice now, we've played
this ceremony and twice now,
we have had a pocket
of air much different
from the surrounding area
in temperature come in.
Maybe we are affecting a portal,
or maybe we're at the very
beginning stages of a portal.
Hey, did one of you guys
move the thermometer in here?
No.
Because this
one's on the ground.
Kaleb just went inside
the house. The thermometer that
was sitting in the
window is now sitting
- On the ground.
- On the ground.
Wait, you mean it moved?
Yes,
and nobody's been in the house.
And right where
you saw that light flicker?
That's a little freaky, guys.
We're having a hard time
believing that it just
rolled off this, window.
Tell you what,
guys, while I like watching
up here, we're
recording all of it.
I'm going to wander
down that way and,
see what you
guys are looking at.
Yeah, come down here,
a-and check this out.
So, that was right here.
- Where we set it up.
- So, it rolled off.
How was it
attached? Was it simply
Kaleb and thomas
go into the homestead area,
and they find that one
of our thermometers,
one of these big mechanical
thermometers that was sitting
in a windowsill, had been
knocked off somehow,
and was on the floor.
So, if we didn't hear
it, how did it fall?
It's a really weird situation.
Did your was your flir
camera, did it have this window?
No, I was only covering
those first two up here.
There's something
walking in the field out here, guys!
What?
There's something walking
in the field right out there.
What are you
looking at naked eye?
No, in the infrared.
I think I can see what
he's talking about right there.
While I was inside
the homestead looking
the back window, I saw
something in the backyard
that looked like a big
blob that was moving.
I thought it may
have been bipedal,
it could have been quadrupedal,
I'm not sure, but
it was just a blob.
How far out?
I'm going to say
almost to that fence line.
Thomas, you're 30 yards short.
You're right where it was.
I don't see it anymore,
but it went straight in
front of you, thomas.
And that That tree looks
like it's hot or something.
It went right into that tree.
What the heck is that?
It's moving, it's moving!
I'm on my way!
What the frick are you?
Hey, travis!
Yeah? What do you got?
I saw a white
thing in See, right there?
I thought it was
something stationary;
All of a sudden,
it started moving.
That's right
where I was looking.
It was something coming up
out of the ground over here.
So, whatever it was,
it was like a round object.
But it was right there and
then, all of a sudden, boom.
Hey. It's in there!
You see it?
Yeah, it's right there.
It's right there, it's moving.
I don't see how
you're going to get in there.
Be careful, thomas.
I don't think we're
going to get through that.
It just gets
worse. What the heck?
What I saw was like
a six-foot diameter,
really intense and then
it kind of got dimmer as it,
like, went out a
little bit, like it faded.
And while I was
sitting there staring at it,
trying to figure
out what it was,
it started to move like this.
And it just kind of moved
across, and then it was like
it disappeared in the
trees, and that's when we
Yeah, it was
right through there.
I'm not seeing it anymore.
Let's go back and
A-and kind of
- Regroup.
- Yeah, yeah. Regroup.
- Catch our breath for a second.
- Let's regroup.
Calm down.
That was exciting,
interesting and weird all at once.
Whatever it
was that we saw tonight,
these were seen only with
the thermographic cameras.
We couldn't see them
with the naked eye.
And that tells me
that we're not dealing
necessarily with
something that's physical.
We could be dealing
with something
that's another dimension,
or another realm.
So, I know for a fact
it was not an animal,
and it definitely
was not a human.
Beyond that, you know,
your guess is as good as mine.
Think about what we've been told
by the former
nids investigators,
about seeing amorphous
things out here in the trees.
You know, they would
appear, move around a bit,
and then fold in on
themselves and disappear.
Right. You know, I-I didn't see
a monster crawl out of a portal,
but what I did see was
something I couldn't explain
Are you sure?
Running across the field
behind homestead two.
What I can take away from
the experiment tonight is
that we played
the rabbi's chant,
we saw a temperature
anomaly again,
and we did see an unusual
Figure, object, thing,
moving through
the infrared camera.
Very similar features
to what we'd seen in
the previous experiment.
I would say it's a success.
I still don't understand
what it means.
Well, we got a lot of data.
We had some weird things happen.
We just need to go
back and analyze the data
- and understand what it means.
- Yeah.
I've got a few
things going on here.
So, what I want to do
is take us out
into the east field.
- Okay. Gotcha.
- Virtually.
The next morning,
erik called me and
dragon into his control room
to check out the
surveillance footage
that was captured of the
mesa at the same time
we were conducting our
experiment at homestead two.
Watch what happens here.
- There.
- Right. Look at that.
Look at the mesa
flickering right there.
- And look at the top over here.
- Yeah.
- There it is. - There it is.
- Sure enough.
Look at that. The
whole top of the mesa lights up.
That piece of the mesa
has a crazy history
of us seeing things.
- Yeah.
- Ever since the beginning.
Erik, brandon and
the team have captured
pretty dramatic surveillance
footage in the past
where something
causes the entire
mesa to light up at night.
- Whoa, look at that.
- Holy crap.
Hey, guys. We just noticed on
the screen here a second ago
You see the glow, the
flicker? What is that?
And just last year,
during a laser experiment,
we observed a similar phenomenon
where the ridge
appeared to be glowing.
Yeah, it's almost
like the outline of it.
Wow.
So, while we were trying
to figure out if this footage
we got of the mesa was connected
to what happened last
night at homestead two,
suddenly, thomas came rushing in
to alert us of something else.
All right. Well, yeah.
We definitely need
to go put eyes on that.
Hey, guys, I just got
a message that said
that something
popped up on the wi-fi,
and it's unsafe.
- Unsafe?
- On our network.
On the network?
And then it kicked me
off on my computer, too.
Something may be hacking us
or trying to get into the system.
It's behaving weird.
Security's a top concern
here at the ranch,
whether it be the premises
or whether it be our network.
And so when I see a notification
like that pop up on my phone,
I'm very concerned
about what it could be
that's affecting our network,
whether it be an
outside influence
or something here on the ranch.
So, if something is
hacking into the wi-fi,
we'd see it on the
spectrum analyzer.
So, it's an sdr. Let me see
Well, pull it up.
Crap! Look at that!
Look at this, look right here.
All the way across. You
see these this little
These ripples all the
way across the floor?
The noise floor
shouldn't look like that.
It should be just
random. That's structured.
That is a signal. There's a
signal right now on the ranch
all the way across the spectrum.
So, what could cause
something like that?
I don't know. That is
a manufactured signal.
That is not mother nature doing
that, and we're not doing that,
so why is that
here on the ranch?
This is a massive energy
spike being detected
by the spectrum analyzer.
I'm not even sure how
I could create a signal
of this magnitude,
but it reminds me
of something that
happened last year.
Sounds like there's something
just screeching
in the background.
After being awakened
in the middle of the night
by a weird noise
outside my trailer,
I checked my spectrum
analyzer and found the same
kind of signal being detected.
Wow!
I mean, t-there's a signal
oscillating up and down,
all the way up to two gigahertz.
The only thing I could
think of at the time
that could cause this
kind of energy spike
was something albert einstein
actually had a theory about.
This might sound
crazy, but what if
the only way to explain
all these things is.
With a wormhole.
I'm an astrophysicist who has
been researching and studying
the plausibility of these
kinds of phenomena
for more than 25 years,
but I never thought it would
lead me to a ranch in utah
contemplating the
existence of wormholes.
Look at that.
Holy Look at that.
I mean, we're actively
being electronically attacked.
Right there.
Look at the pattern.
- And you don't normally see this?
- No, no.
That is a transmitter
somewhere doing that.
- Can your antenna pick this up?
- I'm going to go over there
right now, and I'm gonna get
it turned on and get it up and
- I'm gonna go start looking at it. Okay?
- All right.
- Let me know if you need any help.
- Yep.
Erik's just put in
this-this really cool system
near my trailer that has
directional antennas
that I can actually point
the antenna to see where
the signal's coming from.
I want to see if we
can pinpoint this signal.
Well, that's
interesting. There it is.
I need to rotate my
antenna to see where we are.
It's pointing right at the
homestead right now.
Right there.
There it is.
Hey, siri. Facetime erik bard.
- Erik!
- Hey, travis.
I am picking up
the signal, and I
have zoomed in on it.
It is southwest
from my yagi tower.
- Southwest.
- -Yes.
Whatever was causing
this energy spike
was not only overwhelming
the ranch's network,
but, because it was so powerful,
it made me anxious of
what could be causing it.
Guys, I-I'm leaving the ranch.
I'm getting a bad headache.
- Are you serious?
- I'm dead serious.
- Holy
- Erik?
- Yeah?
- Go to 50 megahertz right now.
50 megahertz, it is it is
completely saturating
the spectrum.
I'll come back
when the signal stops.
Be safe, tom. Let us know
if anything else happens.
I don't know what's
going on, but it seems like
he's all out of sorts,
and seeing thomas
react in this way,
obviously, it raises concern
because he has a history
of having injuries
on this ranch.
A couple years ago,
thomas was digging
out a road on the ranch
and he had a really startling
and frightening experience.
It started with him getting
a really bad headache,
and then he ended
up in the hospital
in a very serious condition.
- Tom, you all right?
- My head is killing me.
Last year, he also
suddenly got a bad headache
just after we
witnessed that strange
glowing phenomenon
on the ridge of the mesa.
In that spot?
Right here,
in that exact same spot.
My head is-is hurting bad.
Holy cow.
There is a crazy signal
right at 700 megahertz.
Crazy.
Could this massive
signal that's hit our network
also be causing thomas pain?
Is it possibly evidence,
like the shermans believed,
that the phenomena
targets people on the ranch?
And if so, have our recent
experiments provoked it?
I am looking due
north right now,
and it seems like
the signal has moved.
The signal is not as
bright in the southwest
Okay.
That tells us the
source is moving.
The fact that the source seems
to be moving around
is pretty mysterious.
It's kind of suspicious.
Suggestive of
something artificial.
We don't know whether
we're talking about something
on the land or, in fact, in
the, in the sky above us.
I have no air traffic.
You know, normally I would
look to something like that
to try to explain
a moving source.
I've lost it again. It's
not south anymore.
It's due west now.
I am looking due west
with more than
one of our cameras
for anything that
shows up in the,
beneath the cloud cover.
I got nothing.
I honestly have no idea
what is causing this signal.
It's a broadband
signal that has structure
that's nothing like we use
in modern industry and
communication systems.
If I wanted to reproduce it,
I'm not even sure how
I would reproduce it.
But this signal's going
on and on and continuing.
There is a transmitter
here that's designed
in a way I've never seen.
- All right, erik.
- Yeah, I've got you.
The signal has
moved in frequency.
This is exactly what
I've seen it doing before,
but there's so
much structure to it
that it's clearly
There's so much structure to it,
there's clearly something, um
Say it again, please?
I can't hold
on, I got to think.
I was just,
I-I was just suddenly
short of-of breath and like I
I just hit pause or
something. It was so weird.
Travis, I don't like this.
It went I don't know.
All of a sudden, I couldn't
My-my thought was not there.
I couldn't finish
what I was saying.
That was that
was freaky weird.
And like.
I'm going over there, erik.
That was that
was freaky weird.
I'm going to stand
up for a second.
I'm gonna get a drink of water.
Hey, erik, can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you.
It's gone due east.
Dude, I know that you
want to figure this out,
but we've talked about this.
- Yeah.
- Well, let's get you out of here.
Let me go stand in the
silo and see if it stops.
Then we'll know it's some
It's a signal that we can stop.
And see if See
if I feel different.
I've never had that
happen to me in my life.
If this is an effect of these
microwave and radio wave signals
that are here the
strange, weird signal
You can shield out
signals with a metal shield,
and we've got these
silos here on the ranch
that are thick steel
all the way around.
So, you get inside it, and it's
an electromagnetic quiet zone.
Do you, do you
want to shut the door?
Yeah, close it,
but leave a little bit of light.
- Holy.
- What?
Son of a bitch.
- Did it really go away?
- Yes, it's like a damn switch.
This is too much.
We need to look
into the physiology
of what's going on and
why it's affecting you,
and I'm standing right next
to you, and I feel right as rain.
It may have stopped.
Do you want to come
back out and see?
Yeah, I'm not feeling it now.
I don't know what to make
of this. I don't know how
Well, I don't know how I
feel about you staying here.
Well, I feel fine now.
I wonder if the signal's gone?
Let's go in and see if
erik's still seeing the signal.
Okay.
I had this weird
static electricity feeling
all over my body.
M-my skin was tingling,
my hair was felt like it was
standing up more than usual.
But when I came
out the last time,
I no longer felt that feeling.
Well, that's not a coincidence.
Where's your spectrum analyzer?
So, I've got that minimized.
I'll bring it back up.
Does that look anything
like what you were looking at?
No.
That just looks
like noise to me.
Yeah, I don't think
this is exceptional here.
You know, it made
me think of how the rabbi
told us he believed that
a portal could be allowing
whatever it is that affects
the ranch and people here
to come and go back and forth
from this dimension to another.
I don't know if that's true,
but if we're experiencing
evidence that we have
the ability to provoke it,
then what can we do to
finally identify just what it is?
I think looking at this I
think it's fine to call thomas
and say, well, if
this was the culprit,
it's not happening right now.
- Are you comfortable with that, too?
- Well, I think so.
Okay. Well, I'll call him and
see if he wants to come back.
Hey, thomas. How's it going?
Well, that's a relief.
I'm in here with the
guys, and we're looking at
the spectrum again, and it
looks like things have quieted
back down, so if you're
comfortable with it,
it would probably be
a good time for you
to make your way back
to the ranch, if you want to.
All right. So, we'll see
you when you get back.
All right, thanks. Bye.
I'm glad you're feeling
better, and it's a relief to hear
that thomas isn't
suffering from any effects.
We fortunately dodged
a bullet this time.
I'm gonna head outside
and wait for him to get back.
Yeah, let's go wait on him.
Weird day.
There's always
a little bit of fear
when something
weird happens to you.
What is this phenomenon, though?
Why did it affect me and
thomas and not the other guys?
Is there something
about our physiology?
Or are we all at risk
just by being here
and conducting experiments?
I've been on the
ranch long enough to just say that
it's unpredictable, you never
know what's going to happen.
But, really, now
the question is,
is moving forward,
how do we better
prepare for this?
And what do we
need to do to be able
to help us understand
where this is coming from?
With the ranch,
we're dealing with an intelligence.
We're dealing
with something that
truly has command
over space, time,
even our very consciousness.
Just when you're relaxed
and not expecting
something to occur,
all hell breaks loose
at skinwalker ranch.
There's a tunnel system
going straight down for miles.
It's right by the triangle.
We need to look underground.
I brought a
ground-penetrating radar.
- That's going crazy.
- We should start excavating.
- You ready to do this?
- Let's dig.
Look at this, guys. I
don't know what's going on,
but it's detecting everywhere.
- Like we're triggering something.
- Yeah, did you hear
- the gamma rays just go off?
- What's going on?
