The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s02e08 Episode Script

1
- I'm at altitude.
- We spent the better.
Part of the day running these
magnetometry and lidar surveys.
Here is the magnetic
data of the homestead two.
- Whoa.
- Here's the triangle.
Look at that!
I feel like we have to dig.
To get to the bottom
of skinwalker ranch.
Hey, guys. This thing's
hopping all over the place.
Magnetic north has been shifted.
It's pointing toward
where they're drilling.
The drill's having
some kind of effect.
On the magnetic
field of the ranch.
- Look at that.
- That is some dark stuff.
I don't know what
to make of that.
I got the data back
from the analysis.
On that interesting black stuff.
- Take a look.
- That's all the stuff.
You would need to put
together modern-day electronics.
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, we got stuff
crammed up in here.
Well, I guess, we set up
over close to the doorway.
Thomas, why don't
you go ahead and,
Go in there to where
the wellhead is.
And, get a clean spot.
- And hook the wire to it.
- Okay.
After more than two
months of new investigations.
On skinwalker ranch,
We're finally starting to
make possible connections.
That might explain some
of the bizarre phenomena.
That keep happening here.
Look at that.
The highly conductive
black material.
We obtained last week.
About 100 feet below
the triangle area.
Where we've also seen a bunch
of weird things, including ufos,
Was located right where a
recent magnetometry survey.
Revealed a huge anomaly.
Well, that same survey
showed another, similar feature.
Right here beneath
homestead two.
We want to know if there could
be some kind of connection.
Between the high
strangeness we've seen.
At both of these sites.
So, erik and I have
devised an experiment.
To actually measure
the conductivity,
Where we're going
to use the well pipe.
And a conductor grounding rod,
Separated by
about 50 or 60 feet,
And we're gonna
connect those to a wire.
Through a multimeter that will
measure voltage and current,
And then that to a
12-volt car battery.
Now, the key here is
that the circuit is open.
The only thing
connecting them is dirt.
So, we've got that end
connected to the ground wire.
And that end is
connected to the well.
So, if the dirt is
highly conductive,
Then current should
flow out of the battery,
Through our measuring
device, through the wire,
Through the copper
rod, through the dirt,
Up through the well,
back through the wire.
And back to the battery.
If that's the case,
that will tell us.
How conductive the dirt is.
If we do measure
a lot of conductivity.
In the soil out here, do
you think that would explain.
Some of the crazy
feelings people have,
Some of the instrumentation
going haywire, stuff like that?
Maybe.
But here's the thing
that's missing The battery.
Right.
We'd have to figure out
where the battery's coming from.
Yeah, we don't know what
would energize that phenomenon.
There's still a power
source somewhere.
That we haven't figured
out, but we're hoping this will.
Help us maybe get to that.
I've wondered for a long time.
Whether there might be some
kind of underground energy source.
Some people have
expressed the belief that aliens.
Are somehow involved,
And we may be on to why a
conjectured alien civilization.
Or some ancient
earth civilization.
May have used the
area as a power storage.
- Are we ready to do this?
- I'd say we are.
Is that other end hooked
up? All right, erik. Yep.
- Hook it up.
- All right, let's go.
There look at that.
Wow, significant. Wow.
- That's almost a third of an amp.
- I am
- Wow.
- I was not expecting that.
- I was expecting it to be
- No.
Barely one little digit move.
0.3 amps is flowing through
50, 60 feet of soil.
Here underneath us at
skinwalker ranch at homestead two.
I've never seen
anything like that.
There should be nothing.
It should be billionths,
Maybe even
trillionths of an amp.
It's like we have
a-a transmission line,
Like a power line,
running underground,
But everywhere underground.
And so, what does that mean?
It means if there's a
power source or something.
Stimulates it, and
electrical current is flowing.
All everywhere under the ground,
And anywhere
electric current flows,
A magnetic field is created.
All right.
Seeing how big that current is.
Makes me think I might be
able to power a flashlight off of it.
- Yeah. That's a great idea.
- You have one?
So, I've got one
back here in the,
- In the, pelican case.
- Nice.
It should be pretty
easy to test this out.
So, I want to
What I want to do is
So, what we're doing
That was interesting.
- So that's connected directly to
- Yeah.
This just beeped because
you just disconnected the power.
- It was this.
- Wait, what?
- That just went off?
- Yeah, just as.
You disconnected
that, this-this
It set off the lightning meter.
- Yeah, now, that's interesting.
- That is very interesting.
When we took the
battery out of the circuit,
The lightning
detector would go off.
I don't think I have a
good understanding.
Of why that happened.
Do it again.
Wow.
- That is
- You're conducted
You're conducting energy
up through the ground.
That's trigg that somehow
is triggering that thing.
- What?
- Wh that's repeatable. Look at that.
For erik's lightning detector
to go off during this experiment.
Not only verified
that the ground here.
At homestead two is
strangely conductive.
Just like the triangle
area, but also,
That we may have stimulated
some kind of phenomena,
Or as thomas
winterton always says,
A "response" from the ranch.
There's enough current flowing.
Through the ground
off of a 12-volt battery.
To set the lightning
detector off?
- That's right.
- This is crazy.
I'll tell you what we're
seeing here is a phenomena.
That I don't think a lot of
people have a good grasp on.
I think this whole area is
acting like a power supply,
And it's storing up power,
And then we're
suddenly letting it go.
When we disconnect
it from the car battery.
And as it's draining
out quickly
It looks like a lightning bolt.
It's like an energy
reservoir here.
Where was the power coming
from that went into the earth.
That created that
lightning discharge.
That made erik's meter go off?
I have no idea about that.
But maybe the same
conductive material.
We found beneath
the triangle area.
Is also here under
homestead two.
And if so, maybe this is
leading us down a path.
On how to find the answer.
- I want to see if the flashlight works.
- Well, I
- Well, hook it up.
- I have a feeling it's gonna work.
I with that much
energy, we're still getting.
More than a quarter of an amp.
Well, let's see what we
get when we hook this up.
Well, it hardly seems possible.
We've got this giant resistor,
or whatever the ground is,
Of 50-something feet.
That, that we're running
electricity through.
We're using the earth as
part of our electrical circuit grid.
I was really surprised to see.
How much current can actually
flow through the ground here.
That's pretty crazy, and
that shows us that this soil.
Really is highly conductive.
And can even
possibly store energy.
Is it possible there could be
a power source somewhere.
Under the ranch or above the
ranch somehow connecting?
Maybe that's why
skinwalker ranch is the area.
Of so many ufo sightings
and so many of these events.
Maybe.
Thomas's question about
ufo phenomena seemed.
A lot less far-fetched
to me today.
Than when I first came
to the ranch last year.
I don't know if the cause
of these energy spikes.
Is from something
below the ground.
Or from something high
above like we've also seen.
At the triangle area, so I
thought what we needed next.
Was to conduct an even
more aggressive experiment.
We just saw when we
put current into the ground.
That we're seeing
phenomena, right?
I think we've got to
put power in the ground.
To see if we can stimulate
whatever this phenomena is.
And see if that
phenomena shows itself.
So, how do you get enough
power into the ground?
I think we install a tesla coil.
And we turn that thing
on m you know, high,
And maybe we can scan it across
the frequencies that it works on.
And it'll resonate with the
surface and charge it up.
And make it start ringing
or do whatever it does.
What you're talking
about is something.
- On a much bigger scale.
- Much larger scale.
Well, I think we
should call brandon.
- And talk to him about it.
- Heck yeah.
We've invited brandon
out here on the ranch again.
To discuss the results of
the soil conductivity test.
We had electrical current
transferring through the ground.
For long ranges,
Which is really, really strange.
It's good to have you back.
So, we feel like it's time
to discuss with brandon.
- The game plan we put together
- Hey, guys.
And get his blessing.
This is his ranch and
I want to make sure.
He knows what we're doing.
And what the possible
ramifications of what we do are.
Well, what do you
have to show me?
We are discussing setting up.
A very different
kind of experiment.
It's something that
travis has suggested.
Well, so, we did We've
done some experiments,
Down at homestead two,
where we created a circuit.
With a 12-volt car
battery and put a flashlight.
In the loop, and
part of the circuit.
Was 70-something feet of dirt.
- Okay.
- And the flashlight would still come on,
With dirt as being
one of the-the "wires".
In the circuit.
Wow. For-for you to be able.
To power a light
bulb just by virtue.
Of plugging it into the land,
- That's extraordinary.
- It is extraordinary.
And that led me to, think about.
How the dirt in the
ranch is highly conductive.
And might be
working like a battery.
The ranch itself could
be storing energy.
Because we actually
disconnected the battery, right?
- Yep.
- Yeah. That was the remarkable part.
Why?
Why would the land be
conducting electricity like that?
It's got something in it.
That's, layers of-of conduct
More conductive soil
than-than normal soil,
Just like the materials
that we found.
In this sample underneath
the ranch out at the triangle.
And if you got a
conductive layer.
And then a nonconductive
layer, then another one and so on,
That's the way a battery looks.
If you take a battery
apart and look-look in it.
And the ground itself
might be acting like a battery,
And it might be charging
just due to weather.
Moving over the area.
Is this normal?
Is this something that you see,
- Typically, in other locations?
- No.
It's one thing for the
soil to be conductive,
It's another thing for it to
have the kind of structure.
That travis was talking
about where you, actually, um,
By the arrangement of those
conductors, can store energy.
- Right.
- Well, and power a light bulb,
- Just through our land?
- Yeah.
It's very similar to the things.
That, nikola tesla wanted to do.
To send power around
the world through the earth.
Nikola tesla was one of
the most brilliant scientists.
And inventors regarding
electricity to ever live,
And as early as 1899 he
began working on an experiment.
In colorado,
attempting to figure out.
How to provide power
from america to europe,
Using large energy transmitters
he invented called tesla coils,
Which had to be
connected to the soil.
Although he was able to
send energy underground.
For miles, the ultimate
goal of the experiment.
Was never achieved.
However, I believe that if
he had been able to run.
His experiment through the
kind of weirdly conductive soil.
That's here on skinwalker
ranch, it just might have worked.
I-I think that
there's something.
Specific about this area
that's so highly conductive.
Wow.
You start thinking about this,
maybe it would make more sense.
As to why it could cause
phenomena to take place.
And then what do they say?
"bad things happen when you dig."
You stick something
in the ground,
It'll trigger the
thing to go off.
Erik's lightning meter
goes off all the time,
Especially when we're digging.
It could be charging
and discharging it.
Now, if you
wanted to get really,
Y-you know, crazy with it,
You know, one of the
m-more exotic explanations.
Would be like, well, if you
were an advanced civilization,
You would see the
earth as a battery,
Where's the best place to
go recharge your cable in?
- Like a charging station.
- Yeah.
Just like electric
car charging stations,
- But this is happening naturally.
- Wow.
It could be that
what we're seeing.
Is part of the explanation.
For things witnessed by
folks who have lived here.
Or visited the property,
including ufos, uaps,
And even the orb phenomenology.
Said to frequent the ranch.
You're speaking
now to a very real,
Tangible phenomena
that you've discovered.
Here on the property.
Yeah.
The history of this property.
Is rich with high strangeness,
With all sorts of,
reports and anomalies.
Shortly after I
acquired the ranch,
I began to see many
of the same things.
That people have reported
going back not only decades,
But generations.
We've seen strange
luminescent phenomena,
We've seen strange lights,
we've seen, you know,
Sections of the
mesa illuminated.
Just as the shermans, who
bought the property in the early '90s,
Witnessed with their
own eyes ufo activity.
Over the property,
we have, surprisingly,
Had the same experiences.
I can't deny it.
I've seen it with my own
eyes with multiple witnesses.
I'd like to hear, you
know, what you propose.
The best course or path may be.
So, what I would like to
do, brandon, is I would like.
To call a colleague of mine
and find the biggest tesla coil.
That I can find available.
And energize the ranch
as powerfully as I can.
Number one, to see how far away.
We can, we can transmit
energy across the ranch,
And also, maybe it
would stimulate something.
You know, I'm most worried
that you may unleash power.
That you're not prepared to
handle here on the property,
So I want to make sure that
we take proper precautions.
It's definitely something we
have to be very cautious about,
But travis knows what
he's doing, in this regard,
And I don't think any of
us are gonna run willy-nilly.
Around here and
take undue risks, so
If we reach a point.
Where we're seeing a phenomena,
Then that'll be
where we realize,
"okay, we need to back
off and-and observe.
And-and understand this
before we really kick it too hard."
W-well, I-I think it's both
exciting and terrifying,
At the same time, and I
hope you're all really prepared.
For the potential risks
associated with that.
I trust these three
guys completely, and,
And I know these
two will carry it out,
The way that it
should be carried out.
And I know that if
something goes wrong,
He'll keep us safe.
Okay. Travis, how soon can
you do these experiments?
Well, I've talked to
a colleague of mine.
And he's ready to bring
some equipment out, like, now,
I mean, any day now.
So, we're Right
now we're looking at.
The triangle area
to do the experiment.
Now that we've determined
that the soil at homestead two.
Is just as strangely conductive
as it is at the triangle area,
I want to conduct a
tesla coil experiment.
In the triangle for two reasons.
One, it doesn't
have the tree cover,
So it's not as much
of a fire hazard.
And two,
I'm really curious
to see if sending.
A lot of electricity
into the ground.
Might stimulate phenomena
either between or at both sites.
Maybe this experiment could
finally help reveal just exactly.
What it is we're dealing
with on skinwalker ranch.
Well, I'm very interested.
To see what kind of results
come from this experiment.
So, proceed accordingly,
And, be careful.
- What's up, cameron?
- Good to see you, man.
How you doing, brother?
Good to see you, man.
Hey.
Cameron prince is a
good buddy of mine.
Who's also an engineer
and an expert on nikola tesla,
So I arranged with him.
To bring some
different-sized tesla coils.
Out to the ranch so we
could see what would happen.
If we shot a lot of
electricity into the ground.
At the triangle area.
Now, if the ranch really
does respond to being poked,
I wanted to see what might
show up if we zapped it.
One of the things we've
measured are weird radio.
And microwave signals
that we can't source,
And they bounce around.
And we've discovered an
anomaly in the soil here.
That we think we can
stimulate with a tesla coil.
Wow. You're speaking,
like, energy of some sort?
Yep, and it's really unusual.
I mean, that-that's the only
way I can explain it, right?
Yeah, and that's
I'm excited you're here,
Because maybe this will
help ease that confusion.
And we'll be able
to get some answers.
Sounds really cool.
All right, well, show us
what you brought, man.
- Okay. Let's do it.
- I'm I'd love to see it.
I know these guys
can't wait to see it.
So, I brought four coils.
Two small ones that
are actually solid-state.
And we can vary
the frequency there,
So if this anomaly is
sensitive to certain frequencies.
Or pulse rate,
We've got a lot of versatility
to do different things.
The large coil stands about
nine foot tall, and that's what.
You see here with
the-the big, doughnut there.
That sits on top and that's
what collects the energy.
Until it breaks out, you know,
When we start hitting
the ground with it.
So, we're gonna dump
a big bucket of energy.
- On the ground.
- That's exactly what we're gonna do.
Not just on the ground,
in and through the ground.
Tesla was the
creator of a.C. Current,
Which we use today,
But he wanted to do
away with the wires.
And actually transmit
that energy wirelessly.
So the tesla coil was
created, with that in mind.
So, a tesla coil is an
air core transformer.
That takes a.C.
Voltage and boosts it up,
To a very high degree in
order to create the lightning.
So, what I'd like to do, guys
I think we should, load up,
Cross through the
triangle, and, head that way.
- Sounds good. Perfect.
- All right, man.
Bringing a tesla coil on
the ranch is a culmination.
Of hundreds of hours of
experiments and research.
And finding magnetic
anomalies in the ground.
So, this is what
we call the triangle.
The hope is by pumping all
this energy into the ground,
One, we're gonna
learn more about.
The conductive properties
here at the ranch,
And two, maybe we'll
wake something up.
Well, so, cameron, then,
why don't you just, pull up.
Down there by that yellow
flag and we'll start staging.
- The equipment out.
- Sounds good.
All right, man.
It's like every other
experiment that we perform.
We're not sure what to expect.
Maybe when we
turn the device on,
We'll see something
in the sky above.
Or maybe we'll measure
something in the ground below.
Turn it. That'll work.
We're gonna be putting so
much power through the ground,
If there's something
underground,
It's bound to feed
back into that.
- Okay.
- And-and we might see something occur.
So, we might be
interacting with something.
- That's what I'm hoping.
- Okay.
Because so many weird
things tend to happen.
At night on the ranch,
Like the strange lights
we've seen on the mesa.
Or the reports and evidence
that we've experienced ourselves.
Of possible portals,
We thought it would be
best to start our experiments.
Once the sun went down.
All right, cameron.
I think we've got all of
our instruments set up.
This is the audio spectrum.
That erik's looking
at on this screen.
We've got a different
frequency antenna.
Set up here on a
spectrum analyzer.
So, we're gonna be
looking at all of these.
Different pieces of data
while we're running this thing.
And start kind of using
that as a measurement.
Of the conductivity of the soil.
Okay. One thing we need to
keep in mind here is the danger.
We're running this
coil at a greater power.
Than I've ever ran it before.
We've we're talking about
a more conductive ground.
Than I've ever
worked with before.
So we've got to
keep safety in mind.
- I don't know what's gonna happen here.
- Yeah.
Pumping this much
electricity into the ground.
And into the atmosphere,
Who knows what it
could possibly stimulate.
So, hopefully we're prepared
for whatever happens.
If something happens.
We don't know.
Yeah, if a portal opens up
over there, I'm going in it.
So, let's fire up the tesla coil
and let's see what happens.
Because of the potential
danger of this experiment,
We decided to use
the smaller coils first.
Now, I also stuck some
fluorescent light bulbs.
In the ground and handed
some out to the team.
Since our bodies are natural
conductors of electricity,
If we saw the bulbs light up,
it would mean that the ground.
Was conducting current.
And it would verify the
experiment was working.
Then, it would just
be a matter of seeing.
What other things might happen.
All right, let's fire this
thing up, cameron.
Okay. Coming up.
There you go.
That's pretty
bright right there!
Look at that. That
one's lighting up.
It is lighting up.
Yeah, you can see it,
you can see it light up.
There you go.
Look at that!
Cameron brought
two smaller tesla coils.
That he can control
with a solid-state box.
That changes the tone
and frequency of them.
- It is working. It is working.
- Look at this!
Hopefully, we can trigger
whatever this phenomena.
Is by adjusting the
output of the energy.
That we're sending out.
You can smell that ozone.
- That's it.
- All right.
Well, I say we go back
and see what, erik saw.
- On the instruments.
- Okay.
All right, erik. What'd you see?
If you want, you can
take a look at this last.
- Screen capture.
- Nice ring.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Well, that's
smacking the bell
- Yeah.
- But did the bell ring back?
I didn't see anything that
I would call a response.
Erik's detecting
devices only registered.
Energy levels that appeared
to have been produced.
By the electricity coming
out of the small tesla coils.
So, the only thing I
could think of to do next.
Was to up the ante.
Maybe we needed more power.
- More power.
- Okay.
Well, cameron, I can't
wait to see what happens.
To that bigger coil
when you pump it.
With more power
than you've ever done.
So, let's fire up the tesla coil
and let's see what happens.
- Okay.
- Let's rock and roll.
It's possible we need
an even bigger tesla coil.
Firing at maximum
power, and then hopefully.
If there's a bigger power
supply here somewhere,
It might stimulate it.
It might trigger some kind
of communication signal.
Or a response.
And maybe it's something
we can detect and locate.
All right, I'm bringing
up the big coil.
- Everybody, stand back.
- All right.
Okay. Here goes.
Ready?
Yeah!
Energize.
- Whoa, look at that.
- That's cool.
Wow.
Check it out.
Yeah!
Yeah, what are we seeing here?
The whole floor
raises like that.
When did you notice that first?
It started doing it
about halfway through.
- Okay.
- As I was watching the different.
Spectrum analyzers and
some of this different equipment,
I started seeing these
strange signals coming back.
- Hey, travis!
- Yeah?
The whole noise floor
is going up and down!
Okay!
All right, bring it
down, cameron.
So, what we're seeing over here.
Is-is that the noise floor is
continuing to hop up and down.
- Really? - Yeah. Check it out.
- Across the whole spectrum.
- Wow, look at that.
- That is nuts.
- That just happened.
- Whoa.
That's the first
time that happened.
- That was down at 400 kilohertz.
- That is
So, this entire thing
has just been bouncing.
- Yeah, it's going crazy. Look at that.
- Still going.
The noise floor refers to.
All the normal
energy interference.
You'd expect to see on
the spectrum analyzer.
Coming from sources
like our cell phones.
Or telephone lines or
even camera equipment.
So, to see the spiking
energy fluctuations continue.
Even after we shut
the tesla coil off,
Well, that's evidence that a
much bigger energy source.
Was being detected.
Crap, look at that.
A few weeks ago, we
witnessed something.
Very similar right after.
We conducted an
experiment at homestead two.
Somebody I mean,
we're actively being.
Electronically
attacked right there.
That is a transmitter
somewhere doing that.
And then suddenly,
Both thomas and I
started to feel sick.
That was that
was freaky weird.
Guys, I'm-I'm leaving the ranch.
I'm getting a bad headache.
I'm dead serious.
So, these sudden energy spikes.
That were being detected
by the spectrum analyzer.
May very well have been
evidence that we were stimulating.
A response from
something on the ranch.
But what that was,
we had no idea.
At least not at that point.
There's no way that coil
can produce that frequency.
It's-it's too high.
The ground is
somehow acting like.
A transformer turning
low-frequency, lower power.
Into higher-frequency,
higher power.
How is that possible?
It means there's a transformer
under the ground or something.
We typically see.
A very strong resonate
frequency of the coil.
And a couple of
harmonics right near that,
But one thing that was
really odd is we saw.
A much higher frequency,
up in the megahertz range,
Far beyond what the
coil normally produces.
You know, I can't
explain this signal,
But it did seem to be
affected or provoked.
Or started by the coil.
I can't keep.
That quantum random
number generator program up.
It continues to shut
down on its own.
- Wow.
- S-so, I don't know what's happening here.
This is unexpected
because I've had no trouble.
- Whatsoever with this device.
- Yeah.
But something's
turning this off.
And it doesn't
correlate necessarily.
With turning this tesla coil on.
And you can't even get
the software to come up.
- And tell you what
- It'll come up.
It'll come up for a short
time, but then what happens.
Is this entire interface
just shuts down.
I have tested that
device to fly in space.
- Okay.
- 'Cause, I mean, I'm about to fly.
Four of them on a space
station in December.
And
S-so, that should lay that
concern to rest right away.
That shouldn't be that.
Some of our instruments have
clearly been interfered with,
And I'm asking myself
whether this is an indication.
Of stimulus and response.
Are we dealing with
something that is technological?
Is there an other on the
other side of the interaction?
We all want to know
the answer to this.
I-I can't help
wondering whether.
Either we've done something
to tweak this device
In other words, to
damage it somehow
- Right.
- Or whether something more interesting.
Is shutting down
and preventing me.
From being able
to use the device.
I was thinking about that,
too. I mean, we're so focused.
On these instruments, something
may be happening around us.
These seem to be
triggered by outside sources.
Yeah?
Could erik be correct,
that something.
Made our equipment
just shut down,
And no longer be able to
detect the strange energy signal?
I approach these experiments
from a scientific perspective,
So if he's right,
Then something
with an intelligence.
Would have to be the culprit.
So, we did have two anomalies
that we-we can't really explain,
And that's the fact that
the signal from the tesla coil.
Was amplified and transformed
into a higher frequency.
That I can't explain.
And that quantum
random number generator.
Quit working with this
computer for some reason.
When it comes to
skinwalker ranch,
There seems to be
an intelligence to it.
Which, I've always said,
you can't make this ranch.
- Tap-dance on command.
- Yeah.
And our hope is by
doing these projects.
That we can stimulate
it, that we can But
- Maybe communicate with it.
- Maybe communicate with it.
But if there is an
intelligence, it seems like.
There's something
about this triangle.
It does not want messed with.
I don't know what it
is, but it seems like.
When we're doing big
experiments on the ranch,
Things happen to
maybe thwart our efforts.
Or at least throw
a wrench in things.
Without fail, we're gonna have
some equipment that malfunctions.
Or things that are
trying to stop us.
From what we're doing.
Well, I mean, you've never
seen anything like that.
With the big tesla coil?
No, not th I
can't explain that.
Doesn't surprise me at
all after being out here.
Doing research on the
ranch for two summers now.
I don't know what
else we can do here.
I'd like to go back
and look at the data,
So let's-let's start
packing up, guys, right?
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Did y'all find that
footage I text you about?
You know, I'm looking
at the whole time interval.
And I'm watching that storm
system move in, and, you know,
Looking for, you know, you
were talking about there being.
- Some lightning strikes.
- Yeah. I was watching.
- On my phone and looking due west.
- Yeah.
- So pretty much that view right there.
- Okay.
The day after our
tesla coil experiment,
I headed home for the
weekend to think about.
What we had experienced.
And really just
decompress a little.
But while erik and the
team kept analyzing.
All the data we
collected from the ranch,
I was also remotely monitoring.
The security cameras
mounted on my trailer.
That face the triangle area.
Now, if we've learned
anything out here,
It's that phenomena
don't always happen.
Immediately when we experiment.
So, do you have the
sense that it would be.
- In the field of view?
- It should be right there. Yeah.
- Right here?
- I wasn't sure if there was a correlation,
But I saw that a really volatile
lightning storm happened,
So when I got back, I
wanted to confirm with erik.
What his surveillance
system had recorded.
Just in case anything else
may have been captured as well.
Let's go forward
to the point in time.
When you were
seeing all of that.
- Yeah, 2:31, right?
- That lighting. Let me
So here we are at 2:30.
- Okay.
- By this time,
There should be
lightning everywhere.
Right, so I'm-I'm playing
through at normal speed,
So we're not
skipping any frames,
We shouldn't be missing
Well, that doesn't
make any sense.
That doesn't look at all
like what I was watching.
I mean, I was watching
a thunderstorm.
This cloud was constantly,
just one big flicker.
Okay.
That makes no sense.
We look at the exact
same time that I texted erik.
And there's not a lightning
strike or a flash of lightning,
Anything, in the actual data,
And I can't understand it.
I was watching it on my phone.
Now, erik's camera
is up on the mesa,
A couple hundred
yards from my trailer,
But it's the exact
same perspective.
Can you pull up my
video from my camera?
I can, now
That I don't understand that.
I think it might be this one.
You can tell me
if this is a match.
- That's it. That's the view. Okay.
- That it? Okay.
Wow, look at, look at that.
Yeah, so this is
what I was seeing.
I was seeing dust devils.
- All up through here, it was crazy.
- Yeah.
That is really violent.
- Yeah, look at that.
- Okay.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna sneak
up on that 2:30 time frame.
There we go.
Okay, do you see anything
that resembles what you saw?
Nothing, because the sky
was flickering like crazy.
- Well, I don't see any lightning.
- Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What was that? Right there.
- Right yeah. You seeing that?
- Yes, yeah. Back up a couple frames.
- All right.
- You guys see? Look, right here.
- You see this?
- What is that?
- I don't know yet.
It appears there, and then
right there, right above the mesa.
- Right above the mesa.
- All right, so back it up.
- Before it and play through it.
- All right.
Okay, so, we're at 13:42:40.
- There it is.
- It comes in, it's there,
And then it's,
and then it's gone.
You guys see that?
You don't generally
see bugs flying around.
When it's blowing hard.
So, let's look at another
camera angle and see.
If we can see if that
was a bug or not.
Sure.
Okay, I'm at about the
same timecode here.
Look, look. Right
here, right here. Look.
See this?
Look, it's-it's in the
clouds, whatever it is.
Okay.
- All right, and then, it's diving.
- Is it just diving down?
Look how it just dives
straight down, now
Now it's, like,
hovering. That's weird.
Yeah, you know what's
interesting, though,
Is right there
where it's hovering,
Is about the perspective
where it looked like.
- It disappeared above the mesa.
- Where we s where we saw it.
On the other camera, right?
Look, it-it's got
a wake behind it.
And it's going really fast.
- And look-look, it just streaked off.
- It just streaked off.
What in the world?
- That is crazy.
- Okay, I got to see this again.
Yeah, go all the way back.
This is odd.
All right, now look
how fast it comes down.
Now watch right here.
It's like it goes behind.
And through this
cloud, you see that?
Yep.
It even put you can
see a trail behind it.
- Look, it's leaving a trail.
- Right.
I can't understand that.
But and look
how fast it's going.
That's amazing.
Yeah, it goes straight
down and then it stops.
Right there. Look at that.
And that's about how
long it was stopped.
In that position in
the other camera.
And then it just,
boom, look at that.
- Wow. That's something.
- Gone.
It really does look like
it's moving fast as it exits.
Yeah.
I've never seen a quadcopter,
Hexacopter, anything
like that do that.
I've never seen the fixed-wing
drones do something like that.
And, you know,
airplanes don't do that.
The coincidence
of this is really odd.
Because you were alerted to
what you thought was lightning.
- Going on.
- Right.
And we wouldn't have even
been looking at this footage
Yeah.
Had you not made a big
deal out of the lightning.
The lightning disappears,
but then all of a sudden.
- We see this thing.
- That's a weird string of events.
That just seems like
a huge coincidence.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The fact that we
picked this thing up.
On multiple cameras
from multiple systems,
Looking from different
angles and saw this thing,
You know, it takes away a
lot of the mundane explanation.
That it was a bug on the lens.
Or that it was a bird
or something like that.
I don't know what this
was, but it's nothing
I have an explanation for.
That's clearly, I mean,
call it a ufo if you want to,
'cause I don't know what it is.
It's flying and
it's unidentified.
- Right.
- Maybe from the two cameras.
We can figure out how far
away it is and how fast it's moving.
- That will tell us something, too.
- Right.
- So, I'll go play around with that, too.
- Yeah, I like that.
What I find interesting
about this event.
Is that is correlates
with the experiment.
With the tesla coil
out at the triangle area.
So, there is room to
speculate that there might be.
Some relationship
between this black object.
That shows up in our footage.
And whatever was
taking place that night.
So, how do you feel
about taking this file.
To share with brandon, and
kind of get his eyes on this?
Yeah, absolutely. Do it.
And let us know when
you get this thing done.
All right. Thanks, guys.
- Great. Thank you, erik.
- That's good stuff.
- Hey, brandon.
- How's it going, brandon?
Hey, greetings,
gentlemen. How are you?
So, have you
received and reviewed.
The footage of the dark object.
In the sky over the mesa
during the recent storm?
Yeah, I just reviewed it and,
I'm anxious to get
your perspective on it.
It-it's very intriguing.
It's definitely
maneuvering in a way.
That you typically
don't see with any craft,
Drone or anything that I
would call conventional.
Right. When it
does that one little,
Looks like an
aerodynamic maneuver,
But then it stops and hovers,
And then just darts off
behind the mesa to the north,
It's probably going a-a
thousand mile an hour.
- At that point.
- Yeah. The speed and the trajectory.
And just the erratic
behavior of the object,
Just kind of blew me away.
Yeah, I-I agree.
The only other thing
I would say about it.
That's interesting to me, also,
Is that the object was
over the triangle area.
Wow.
Perhaps this object had some
kind of causal relationship.
With the exercise
involving the tesla coil.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
Well, there appears.
- To be a connection.
- Right.
To see in broad
daylight, once again,
A strange object that
is not only moving.
At speeds but also
trajectories that defy.
All description, following
that tesla experiment,
It just leaves you not
only baffled but also,
I think, further
emboldened to understand.
What is really going on above
and below skinwalker ranch.
Of course, the question I have
Is anything showing up.
On the avionics
transponder or any.
Of the other tracking
services that are monitoring.
All the commercial and
private air traffic in the area?
Well, that's really the right
question, and the answer's no.
There are no
self-identifying aircraft.
Or at least no transponding
aircraft in-in the space.
At the time of that event.
That is bizarre.
Well, given the
compelling evidence.
That you guys have collected,
I think we-we, more than
ever, have an imperative.
- To get to the bottom of it.
- Agreed.
Agreed. This-this
happened above the triangle,
And, by the way, we've taken
weather balloons up there
We-we lost a
balloon right there.
I think we just need to come
up with a plan to get up there,
Look at it closer, and,
And let you know
what we come up with.
I agree. I agree.
It's something. We
got to figure out a way.
- To understand what these things are.
- Yeah.
I think you're absolutely right.
The fact that these events.
Continue to occur repeatedly.
Over the airspace of
this 512-acre ranch,
I think, is beyond coincidence.
Right.
I think one thing that
we've been able to verify.
Over the course of
the last few years.
And especially with this team,
Is that-that whatever
we're observing, it is unique.
To this area and unique.
To skinwalker ranch.
I think getting to
the bottom of why.
And the origin and the agenda.
Associated with this phenomena.
Is going to be job number
one moving forward.
- Agreed.
- All right.
- Thanks for joining us, brandon.
- Thanks for your time.
Hey, thank you so
much. We'll stay in touch.
As our investigation
moves forward,
The one thing in my mind
that still is not resolved.
Is there does seem
to be some type.
Of intelligence aspect to this.
So many times, the
phenomena that takes place.
Is so perfectly correlated.
With the activities
that are going on.
It makes me wonder,
what might we possibly see.
Up above the ranch?
The scientific method says if
there's something unknown.
Or you don't understand it,
You design
experiments to study it.
And you report the results.
We don't know
what's happening here.
Maybe we can even
figure out what it is,
Why it's here and
where it came from.
Be able to communicate with it,
If it wants to be
communicated with.
We truly have a
unique opportunity.
To be able to prove the reality.
Of strange phenomena.
And to be able to
prove the reality.
That we're not
alone in the universe,
That we're interacting
with something.
Or some things here
on skinwalker ranch.
We've got a bunch
of rockets to launch.
Right above the triangle
area where last year.
We saw a ufo appear in the sky.
There it goes. We have launch.
Man, look at that.
- What is that?
- What's going off?
- Something beeping over there.
- Holy buckets.
You could just feel that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's this right there?
- We got something!
- We just saw the same ufo.
That we saw last year!
- There look at that!
- Wow.
What the hell would
be dropping down.
- Toward the rock there?
- That is crazy.
