The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s03e04 Episode Script
Scoped Out
This is something sacred here.
This area is used
to keep the evil on that side.
Hey, travis, I'm seeing the
shadow of some other aircraft.
There's nothing within
50 miles of the ranch.
What happened?
What the heck is that? Some thing
Doesn't want us to collect data
from the triangle.
The cessna flew
62 and a half miles
Below the mesa.
- What on 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.
Here they are.
Pull it right in here
somewhere, dragon.
After last week's cessna
experiment at the triangle,
Our attempt to collect
usable data of the anomaly
Once again left us
With more questions
than answers.
Guys, I appreciate
y'all coming out.
So, to help us get a better
look at the triangle anomaly,
We invited richard tenney,
chuck hards and david moulton
From the salt lake astronomical
society out to the ranch.
They're going to help us
With tonight's experiment
at the triangle.
So, I have to ask you
what you know about the ranch.
What have you heard
about this place?
I'm a little familiar
with the history of it,
Just because, you know,
being a utah native and
And hearing the stories
over the years.
I have some family in the area,
Some friends,
And they-they tell me stories
of things
They've seen on the road and-and
Weird stuff.
- Really?
So, you know something
of the phenomenology
That we've been studying here?
Yes, a little bit.
And I'm gonna be candid.
This is all brand-new to me.
I have no prior knowledge
of what's going on.
Better yet.
So, guys, we have an anomaly
In the sky, in that direction,
Almost due west from right here.
It's in an area we call "the
triangle," and it's above that.
We've seen gps anomalies
and a radio signal
Actually coming from that area.
What we would like to do is look
Through the anomaly
at an astronomical object
And see if they seem to look
the way they're supposed to,
Or if they're obscured, moved,
or something along those lines.
So, here's the plan.
You guys start getting set up,
And what I would like to do is,
So you can see the area
that we're talking about
That has the anomaly in it,
Dragon and I are gonna take
a rocket out there
And set it up in-in this spot
And launch it right underneath
where we are.
You guys try and capture it
through the telescope.
That make sense?
- Yeah. - Yes, sir.
Okay.
- All right, let's go!
The plan
Is to have richard,
chuck and dave
Focus their
high-powered telescopes
Up at that mile-high area
Above the triangle while
We launch more rockets
in an attempt
To stimulate uap activity.
That's very impressive.
How tall is that?
Ten feet?
- Yeah.
It's a hundred inches
from the mirror down there
Up to the ipc here, actually.
This was a big experiment
With a lot of moving parts.
I'm up and running.
These guys have brought out
six different telescopes
That can capture
high-definition imagery
All the way out to outer space.
Each one also features
a computerized database
Of planets and constellations
So it can lock
onto a known object
In the sky above the triangle
And track that object's
motion precisely.
Any change in the appearance
of that object's motion means
That there's a gravitational
anomaly above the triangle,
Bending the starlight
in a way it shouldn't.
Hey, kaleb.
- Hey, erik.
You, called us in?
Yeah, so, I've got
this tracking cam ready.
Okay. - This is the ptz
that goes with the all-sky.
So, this is the one
that you're gonna pair
With the sky-facing one?
- Yeah, yeah. So, we've got
That fish-eye camera's looking
basically horizon to horizon.
It's that one right there, right?
- Right here.
Meanwhile, erik had thomas
And kaleb help install his new,
All-sky uap tracking
camera system
So we could have even more eyes
On the anomalous area
above the triangle.
This is a smart system.
It will hopefully help us
To avoid missing anything
that comes in our airspace.
Well, this is
This is amazing.
If you're ready to put that up,
I'll work with you in here on it.
Okay.
We'll go get her done.
- All right.
It's at the triangle
Where we've repeatedly detected
dangerously high energy spikes
About 5,000 feet up
Look at the sky, y'all!
Uap right there!
- Yup, I see it.
And also launched rockets
that stimulated numerous uaps
To suddenly appear.
You've got to be me.
I'm really excited
to have these.
It'll just be nice to be able
to actually zoom in on stuff
And track it across the sky.
Hey, erik?
Tom's about
to put the camera up for you.
Perfect. I've got him in view.
Adding to our
Surveillance program, we have
set up an all-sky camera.
This is a fish-eye lens that
sees from horizon to horizon
And straight overhead,
Taking in the entire canopy
of the sky.
We're also adding
a directable telescopic camera
That is able to identify,
track and follow objects
That appear in the sky
over the ranch.
Well, we just about got it, kaleb.
- Okay.
We're looking at the skies
over the triangle
And at the ranch
in a lot of different ways.
Hey, erik, it's kaleb.
We got the camera up.
Can you see on the network?
I've got it, guys.
It looks good. We can see
pretty much everything
We need to see
from that position.
Awesome.
That's one thing
off the checklist.
This new all-sky
camera system is really vital
To our experiment.
The telescopes will be
locked onto the anomaly
Above the triangle with
a very narrow field of view,
So if uap appear
anywhere else on the ranch,
We need to make sure
we can capture them on video.
The camera system
will also be able
To monitor the ranch cattle.
Because of how the cows
have acted in the past
When uap appeared, they will
make the perfect biosensors
During the experiment.
All right. That's all we got.
I guess we'll just
set it up in the center.
Yeah.
As we prepare for our
most advanced experiment yet,
Dragon and I went down
to the triangle
To set up for the first rocket.
Put it down so it's There we go.
- Try to get it level.
You think that's far enough
away from the truck?
Well,
That depends
on who you're asking.
Whose truck is it?
Since we only have
an approximate zone of interest,
This experiment
will have two goals.
First, we want to record
the best footage possible
Of any uap that might appear.
If you want
to lock it about right there
While we work on it,
that's fine.
That's fine. I'll just lock it.
- See if you can
Get it about like that, bryant.
- Yup.
All right, we got the motor.
And second, we want
to pinpoint the exact spot
That these things
could be originating from.
I'm thinking that right there
Is a pretty-pretty good angle.
- Okay.
You locked in? All right.
- Yup, we're locked.
I'm gonna turn the lights on
and, we'll get ready to go.
And there's
There's a special light
We put in the nose cone, too.
For this rocket,
We have led lights
blinking all over the thing
So the astronomers out here
can find the thing in the sky.
It's fine. All right.
And then we'll turn these on
right before we go.
Once we were done,
all we needed was the dark
And the telescopes ready to go.
You can call 'em and tell 'em
That we're gonna be good
to go whenever they are.
Okay.
Hey there, tom and kandus.
- Hi, jim.
Hello, neighbors.
- Hello.
How you doing, kiddo?
- Hi.
Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Nice to see you.
- While we waited
For the sun to go down,
Jim morse, tom lewis
And kandus linde were continuing
Their effort to meet with
the members of the community
Who have their own stories
about bizarre phenomenon.
It's nice to have addy
come up here and visit with us
And compare notes as neighbors.
Yeah. Thanks for having me over.
- You're our closest,
Closest neighbor. We run
into you every once in a while.
Addy is part of the ute tribe,
And she has a few things
She wants to share with us
that may help us
With the investigation
here on the ranch.
She just had witnessed something
That I thought
would be pretty profound.
Yeah, well, it was actually
a couple nights ago.
Yeah.
- So what happened the other night?
Well, me and a friend was
bringing in groceries,
And he called me out
to look up at the sky.
And there was
a big old bright light.
Hear anything?
- It was so quiet.
Yeah, and it was heading
up north, and then it stops.
But usually, when you see
an anomaly out here,
They disappear because it's like
they know you see it.
But this one didn't do that.
And then it started
to go faster north.
And then it's gone.
Have you seen this type
of thing before?
Yeah, I've actually seen it
before a few times.
And my grandpa would talk about
Different anomalies
he would see and things
That would happen
around the farm.
Like what, as an example?
One night, he was out
in the four-wheeler,
And, he noticed the cows
were looking up at the sky,
And there was a big old bright
ball very low to the ground.
And it rose up,
and then it just disappeared.
Wow.
Her story rings a bell because
We had this strange incident
with this cow
That just died all of sudden.
Still don't know
why it happened.
What in the world?
There were some strange events
Around the death of that cow.
Is that black object the cow?
Yeah, the cow is right here.
I'm gonna do this,
very slowly, frame by frame.
So here, I can't help
but also notice
That there's
something happening here.
Whoa! Look at that!
- Yeah, there it is right there.
I mean, having correlated
stories, very similar--
That was very interesting.
So we have the lights
with the cow.
Anything else come to mind?
My grandpa's seen some,
I guess you'd say
it was a skinwalker.
I don't know if I want
to talk about this one, though.
People out here
that have lived in the area--
They've grown up with these
This-this phenomenon
called "the skinwalker."
This is when the navajo
And the utes got
into more than a skirmish.
Back in the mid-1800s,
The navajos ended up
cursing the utes.
The skinwalker is
a shape-shifter.
So there's a fear associated
with talking about these things.
It is scary to talk about.
- Yeah.
On the flip side, though,
what we're trying to do is
We're trying to get
as many stories as we can get.
Yeah.
- You know, because it
It helps paint a picture
of what's maybe going on
In, you know,
in this particular area
On skinwalker ranch,
But the uinta basin in general.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
And the more people talk
about that, the easier it gets
For other people to talk about it.
Okay.
Um, my grandpa went out
In the field,
and he noticed a tall,
Dark, you know, figure
watching him cut hay.
And each time he would go
around the The field,
It would get closer and closer.
And he said it looked like
it had, like, a long cloak.
And then, when he got closer
to it, it just vanished.
Disappeared. I don't know why.
There is some scary things
that have gone on
Over the years on this ranch.
- Yeah.
To have witness testimony
To the reality of what
we're experiencing at the ranch
Is both thrilling,
and it's also terrifying.
I mean, what we're
dealing with here is
Something not
to be taken lightly.
Well, thank you for coming up.
You are our closest neighbor.
Yeah.
- You know?
Really appreciate it.
It's always good to see you.
It's good to see you guys.
- Thanks for being so receptive.
I'm gonna walk addy home.
- Thanks, jim.
What lies ahead?
I think we have before us
a great challenge
To understand
the origin and the agenda
Associated with the phenomena,
With what we are
interacting with
On skinwalker ranch.
Hey, bryant, go ahead.
We're gonna say
another two-minute
Time frame starting
Here shortly.
- As soon as it was
Dark enough to see the stars,
It was time
to start the experiment.
I want to fire rockets
straight up
From the inside of the triangle
While the astronomers
view and capture
Incredibly close images
of the anomaly.
And hopefully, they can record
something we can analyze later.
And you've got a good view
of their position?
Yeah, I think.
- Great.
Whenever they're ready.
All right, so let's lock it
about-about right there.
Like that? Yeah.
- Yup, the wind's picking up
A little bit more.
Hey, bryant, travis,
You guys ready for launch?
We're waiting on him.
Yeah, we are, erik.
Anytime you're ready,
We can start the timer,
go radio silence,
And we will launch.
Please stand by.
Give me a moment.
I'm having trouble getting my,
computerized mount aligned.
Hey, bryant, please hold.
We're not ready.
Holding the count.
- No problem.
We'll hold. Just let us know.
Don't let me distract you,
but if you can describe briefly,
What is the function
that you're trying to do
That it's not doing?
- When we
When I first set up the mount,
I have to aim it
at a couple of stars.-
And that builds the model
of the sky in the computer.
It's not letting me do that.
I've had this particular
telescope over ten years now,
And I have never had
a problem like this.
Okay, now it's moving.
- It's not the light
That's throwing it off, is it?
- No.
It becomes clear
That things are getting
really strange, really fast.
And we're having difficulty
performing even the most basic
Calibration exercises
with the telescopes in order
To locate themselves in space.
For some reason,
this doesn't surprise me.
Hey, we're all set up here
to launch this rocket
Whenever you guys are ready
with your equipment.
We're not ready.
The object I just slewed to
a little while ago
Is now no longer
in the database.
This is junk right now.
This is just thousands of
dollars' worth of junk.
So, what do you mean
that it's not in there?
This has thousands of objects
in the database.
Stars, planets, galaxies,
everything. - Yeah.
And if you enter it and hit it,
it will slew to that object.
I had it on one earlier,
And that object is no longer
in the database.
They're listed alphabetically.
- The one that you started with?
Right. It had to be in there
for me to slew to it.
Does this operate off gps?
- No, no.
We're doing it all manual
so that we don't have
To rely on gps.
The one I'm looking for
is called "rasalgethi."
The one we want is not there.
Has it ever done this before?
- The one that's right
No, but that's the star
that's where the anomaly is.
So, the star above the anomaly
is not showing up there?
Not in the database.
And it was a little while ago.
Are you hearing this, erik?
I find it really mysterious that
As soon as we attempt
to lock on to stars
That are above the triangle,
They are being deleted one at
a time from the star catalog
On the internal memory
of his telescope computer.
I don't even know
how that's possible.
What is gaining access
to the memory of this system?
It doesn't want me
to slew to the anomaly.
See, that's the one we want.
And that's the one not showing up?
- It's not there.
Hey, erik, we are ready
To roll
when you guys tell us to.
Another star just disappeared
from the database.
You have got to be kidding me.
There's nothing
in the anomaly area
That is in the database anymore.
Now, you're not connected
to network?
You're not pulling anything
from the cloud,
Or anything that would be updating?
- Nothing.
As soon as I try to point it
to the anomaly area,
Any-any object
And that's a big piece of sky.
There are a lot of things
in the catalog
In that part of the sky,
And I can find things
all around the perimeter of it,
But nothing in the middle.
We're dealing
with an issue over here.
As these stars are tracking
into the anomaly, they are
Disappearing off the menu
of the telescope.
We're not even able
To train the telescope
on the stars because
As the stars enter that area,
They are disappearing
off the menu of the telescope.
That's actually crazy.
So, let me get this straight.
Ask them if they mean
it's disappearing from the menu
In the computer
from the telescopes
Of potential stars
they can look at,
Or if they're literally
disappearing?
They are disappearing
from the menu,
Disappearing
from the internal catalog
In the computer
that's running the scope.
It was baffling that telescopes
Of this caliber, design
and from different manufacturers
Would all glitch like that.
In fact, we've had so many
sophisticated equipment failures
Take place
during our experiments
That it's almost become a sign
that something strange is about
To happen on the ranch.
We really need
to launch this rocket.
Come on, dragon.
Let's get this rocket ready.
Be advised, guys.
We're about to shoot the rocket
and shoot it right through
Whatever this is!
- No.
Hurry up.
What if something happens?
We need to launch
this rocket now.
We need to launch
this rocket now.
I want to go!
When the professional grade
Astronomical telescopes failed,
I knew this could be
One of those times
Where ranch activity
really starts to kick up.
Tell them to get ready
for a countdown.
We're gonna launch
in two minutes.
Okay, we're gonna launch
this rocket in two minutes.
So I wanted to start
launching rockets
As fast as we could
And see if we can get a response
From the anomaly
above the triangle.
Five, four,
Three,
Two, one.
See, that one shot up there.
There it is.
All right.
Are you capturing stuff?
This scope is pretty dead.
I mean - Dead?
I aimed it manually
in the, in the anomaly area,
And then
the camera wouldn't work.
I-I couldn't get a,
I couldn't get a feed
From the camera to the laptop.
And this camera
is suddenly not working
When I'm pointing it over there.
Really?
Yeah.
- Your camera's not working?
This one's not
working on the Over
So, when you point this
towards the triangle,
It's not working?
- Nothing's showing up on the camera.
It's hard to explain
why so many things go wrong
Anytime we tried
to swing the telescopes
In the direction of the anomaly.
You know, we were able
to image fine outside of that,
But the minute
we get inside there,
A number of mechanical problems,
Seemed to occur,
which is I-inexplicable.
All three of you
have had glitches here
That you don't see other places?
Never had them before.
- Yeah.
I can't get any of the cameras
At the bait pen to come up.
You're not getting a response
From any of our cameras
out there?
No. No.
Everything's dead out there.
I can't get through to anything.
So, when he pointed
that big telescope
Towards the triangle
The screen went black.
Now, that is really spooky.
Makes you feel crazy.
Hey, travis, we're not even
able to train the telescope
On the stars.
So what's going
into the computer
And telling the computer
and the telescope
That the star isn't there?
I've never heard
of such a thing.
Since the telescope computers
Wouldn't align with the stars,
The astronomers
had to align them manually,
But when they moved
the telescopes
To look at the anomaly,
the telescopes failed.
Their cameras
wouldn't get an image
Through the triangle anomaly.
Before it was the computers
that weren't working,
And now it's the actual cameras
connected to the telescopes.
Hey, bryant, travis,
do you copy?
We got you. Go ahead.
We can fixate on stars
elsewhere,
But not the ones
over the anomaly.
No kidding?
- So, I think it'd be a good idea
Just to shine
the laser straight up
To provide a reference
that we can fixate on.
That's what we're gonna do.
- Okay.
If you're ready,
we will shine it right now.
Go right
Go right up to launch rail.
Since the telescope's
computer wasn't working,
Erik got the idea
to have kaleb aim
A military-grade laser pointer
up through the triangle
So that chuck could
manually focus on it
To see if anything strange
could be identified
In the anomalous zone.
There you go.
- Okay. Kaleb is shining
The laser straight up.
Can you see it?
Have you got it in there now?
Yeah, that's it.
- Okay, good.
Yes, we can see the green laser.
Hey, travis?
What-- yeah. Yeah, kaleb?
There's points
where it looks like the,
The beam, like,
disconnects from itself.
What? Where you are now?
Yeah.
What?
I-I don't know.
It's just weird.
Like, right there. You see that?
Yeah, I did see that.
- It's like it jumps.
Yeah, right there.
It did it again.
Right there, looking like
it suddenly got shorter.
See, how--
looks like it's cutting off?
Yeah, it's like
there's something there.
There's something there.
When kaleb pointed the laser
up through the triangle,
We expected it
to just go straight up.
But as he's moving it around,
It looks like
it actually gets shorter,
Like it's being cut off
at a certain point
By an object or something
that we can't see,
And it's right there,
in the anomalous zone
Above the triangle.
Hey, guys. Y'all are not
gonna believe this.
Chances are we're gonna believe
anything you say, travis.
Kaleb is pointing
The laser pointer
up into the sky,
And it's like it hits something
and it only goes
A certain distance, and then
he moves it and it goes further.
Dude, did you see it bend?!
Dude, did you see that?!
Then the end of the laser bends.
Did you see that?
We're hitting something,
And the laser beam
is literally bending.
What in the hell is that?
I can see it,
like, bending.-
I'm watching two beams.
I am literally watching
two beams from right here.
It makes a "y" out of the beam.
And then the laser
actually splits into a y.
We can see two beams happening
When it hits something up there.
God, I wish I could
see that from here.
That's insane, dude.
Travis.
Any sense of how high up
this object is?
Somewhere about 2,000 feet up.
We really need to launch
this rocket through that.
Come on. Dragon,
let's get this rocket ready.
Let's shoot it right through
where that is.
All I could think was that
maybe we finally pinpointed
The anomaly above the triangle
Where the laser beam
was splitting.
So, it was definitely time
to fire a rocket
Up there and see
what would happen.
I want to go.
Keep that laser beam
up there, kaleb.
I'm gonna try to point
this rocket there.
This is not going anything like
what I would have expected.
Well, I'll tell you right now,
I got chills everywhere.
I need to tilt it just a little.
Probably right there.
All right, kaleb. Yeah.
- Right there, travis. Right there.
All right,
that's where I'm pointing.
I'm pointing right at that.
Yep. - Right there.
Okay. Everybody, clear back.
We've seen a lot of weird stuff,
And I'm hoping the rockets
will go right through that spot
And they can see
if something weird happens
To its trajectory through
the telescopes while it's going.
Five, four,
Three, two, one.
When kaleb pointed
the laser up into the triangle,
The beam bent, split
and appeared to hit something.
Which should be impossible.
- That looked like a beautiful flight.
That was straight up.
So we decided
to quickly launch a rocket
And see if we couldn't hit
whatever it was causing that.
There we go. Here.
Yeah.
I'll go grab that.
All right,
I'll tell you what, kaleb.
Just get it and just meet us
back at the helipad.
Dragon and I will break down
Okay. - Load everything
up and head back.
After our rocket launch
up into the triangle,
I was eager to go join
the others at the helipad
And see if we could get
a look through the telescopes
At what might have
caused the laser
To bend and split like that.
We're gonna head back and then,
Just go back to basic
Astronomical observation.
Copy that. See you soon.
All right, let's do it.
The cattle
are acting very abnormal.
We're sitting on the helipad,
And the cows start
to really act up.
They're mooing a lot.
They're making a lot of noise.
Erik,
the cows have pushed in on us.
Is it all of them
or is it just a few?
The whole herd is scattered
through the entire field.
Something has definitely
scared them
And-and stirred them up.
What the heck? They pushed
all the way around the helipad.
I'm getting something
on the 1.6.
Hey, guys,
so thomas is out in the field.
We often talk about
these cows being biosensors.
And after what's happened
in the past with animals
On this ranch,
we always keep a keen eye
On the cattle
for any strange activity.
Suddenly, they're acting weird
While we're conducting
this experiment at the triangle,
And there's also
massive equipment failures.
My first thought was,
"we should be looking up."
Everybody, scan the skies,
scan the skies.
Look at this one right here.
I don't know what that is.
What the hell is that
in the sky?
To the south.
There it is!
It's moving real slow.
Well, I'm looking at it.
There's no red or green
or white lights on it.
That thing is big and spherical.
Yes, it is.
It's got a black dot
in the center of it.
What in the crap?
I am seeing a double peak
near 1.6 with some side bands.
I noticed that the spectrum
analyzer is giving us once again
This mysterious
1.6 gigahertz signal.
The 1.6 is often seen in
conjunction with uap activity.
There's no red or green
or white lights on it.
It doesn't look like
it's that far away, either.
Richard spots this object
up in the sky,
And it's not blinking
like an aircraft.
It's not like anything
I've ever seen before.
And it starts to track
towards the east
And then it started
to turn towards the north.
It's definitely one of
the more incredible sightings
That I've seen here
on skinwalker ranch.
And it's coming up
on jupiter right now.
Yes, it is.
- It's going right under jupiter.
And it's almost
as big as jupiter.
That is bright.
- That ain't an airplane.
Airplanes at night have
to have navigational lights,
Red and green.
And these lights will blink.
And, this object that I saw,
It didn't have that deliberate
direction that an airplane has.
It-it seemed to be kind of
lazy and slow-moving,
Taking its time.
It had no navigation lights,
no landing lights.
The entire object was glowing.
I still see it,
but it's getting dim.
It just disappeared.
Wow.
It didn't move like
Anything that I've seen before,
And it-it certainly,
when-when we zeroed in on it,
It didn't look like anything
that I've seen before.
And after all this, I-I'm gonna
have to just sit down and think
For a few minutes.
- Yeah, I don't know how to process this.
Yeah. This is the kind of thing
That makes us feel
like it's targeted.
You know. The fact that you can
pick up a star anywhere,
But once you go to the spot
that we're trying to observe,
It Doesn't work.
- Yeah.
How can something know
that you are pointing
That dobsonian telescope
in that direction?
There's no electronic
setting circles,
No encoders.
There's nothing. No gp--
There's nothing on that.
- Nope.
You get away from the anomaly
And everything's normal again.
- Wow.
We were all mentally exhausted
By whatever that was
That appeared after
our final rocket launch.
It was the biggest uap
we've seen so far,
And it appeared
to have come closer
Than any of the others as well.
And with the cows
reacting the way they did,
It makes me think
that we're getting closer
To answers
here on skinwalker ranch.
When I first, contacted you guys
And I told you that there might
be a weird anomaly in the sky,
What-what was your thought then
versus what you think now?
I was really skeptical.
And now we're just
kind of freaked out.
It's beyond bizarre.
I don't know how to explain
something like that.
I was hoping to see things
I'd never seen before,
And I wasn't disappointed.
Until you come out here
and experience this,
You think it's, like,
all made-- you can't--
It's-it's too crazy.
You can't make this up.
I have no explanations
for anything going on out here.
All right, appreciate it, guys.
This was good stuff.
Crazy but good.
- Crazy but good.
Yes, crazy but good.
Come on in. I want
to get your eyes on this.
Dude, I got to tell you
what's going on
Over at my trailer.
I was sleeping pretty good,
and it's like something pounded
Into my trailer so hard,
the trailer actually moved.
It wasn't the sound itself
that woke you up?
The sound woke me up.
- I mean, I
I, like, just stood--
I mean, straight up from--
'cause it was such a bang.
It's like, something, like
It's like I backed my jeep into
the-the trailer or something.
I mean, the trailer
literally did that.
What time did you say it was?
It was right at 5:13 a.M.
Well, you're not
gonna believe it,
But that's about
the same time I woke up.
I had nightmares.
Really?
- It was, like, chill bumps.
Couldn't go back to sleep,
so I've been looking around
In the,
in the sky-facing cameras,
Looking at-at the stars.
And there's something
really interesting
That I haven't seen before
That I'd like to get your eyes on.
- Okay.
Um, it - Well,
I see you're looking at orion.
Yeah.
- Okay.
There, there. All right.
- Ho!
What was that? - Okay,
that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Yeah, look how bright-- that's
the brightest thing in the sky.
So, if I go through
frame by frame.
Wow.
Look at-- I mean, that's a
greater magnitude than jupiter.
The flash of light that erik
captured above the ranch
On his new surveillance
camera system was not only
One of the most
incredible anomalies
That we've documented so far,
But the time it appeared
was at the exact moment
In the morning
when something hit my trailer.
What could be that bright
And still just be setting
in one spot in the sky?
We don't have spacecraft
that can do an orbit like that.
Right?
Where's it coming from?
This phenomena was
even more intense
Than the uap we saw
just hours earlier
With the rest of the team.
Could it really be connected
to erik's nightmares
Or the force
that shook me awake?
I don't know.
But it made
this night of experiments
Even more compelling,
and is pretty convincing
That when we poke this ranch,
it responds.
Travis, every time
we get something new like this,
I-I put it in front of brandon,
in front of everybody
We got to get everybody's eyes on this.
- - Yeah.
You know, we got to show
dragon and tom.
This is a first of its kind.
All right, appreciate it, erik.
That's amazing, erik.
That's an amazing find
right there.
Later that afternoon,
we asked brandon
To drop everything,
come to the ranch
To see the data we collected.
Welcome back.
These were things that we knew
He would want to see for himself
as soon as possible.
Hey, guys.
I understand that you have
a few things to show me.
As always.
Let's dive in.
We invited,
Some astronomers
in a, in the local
Utah astronomy organization
To bring some very high-tech
telescopes
With camera platforms.
- And these are big telescopes.
We set up to launch some rockets
up through the anomaly
At the triangle,
and they would see this
With these very calibrated
and expensive, telescopes.
And something erased
the information
From a computer that's not
connected to any network.
Really?
It appears that something
Is deliberately meddling
with our systems,
With the third-party experts
and their systems,
Every time they're brought
on the damn ranch.
And with all
the craziness going on,
We caught on camera a uap,
But this is something
that I saw with my own eyes,
And it's probably
the most significant uap
That I have seen
in my entire time on the ranch.
So, I've got it cued up.
- You've captured the footage?
It's right here.
- We have it.
Great. Show me.
Wow.
You have got to be kidding.
It-it was so bright,
and it looked so close.
This is a spherical-shaped
object with structure.
I-I can, I can zoom in on this if
you'd like. - Yeah, zoom in on it.
And look at-- there's a dot
in the middle of it
That everybody could see
with their own eyes.
You see right there?
- You see where
You can definitely see that dot
In the middle of it right there.
If I had not seen it
with my own eyes,
I might would be tempted to say,
"okay, this is an optical
phenomena in the camera lens
That is out-- slightly
out of focus or something."
But it looked like that
to your own naked eye.
It was so bright,
it had subtense.
Look at that.
Well, and
- That is extraordinary.
And caught on multiple cameras.
I'm telling you, watching it
with my eyes, standing there,
Not trying to hold a camera,
The strange erratic movement
I-is what really cemented to me
That there is something
extremely strange about this.
I-I would tell you
that I think there's enough data
In the video footage that-that
this is more than a uap,
That this is a ufo.
This is an unidentified
flying object.
It's not just
some aerial phenomena.
Wow.
It continues
to shock me to this day
That we saw,
yet again, another uap.
And that's not
the only thing that happened.
It gets better.
You know, the strangeness
just continues.
We have something to show you
That I've personally
never seen before.
In fact, I didn't even think
Something like this
was possible.
So, this is a little complex,
but, boy, is it a story.
Yeah, so I'll start
from my perspective.
Okay.
- While I was asleep in my trailer,
Something immediately
made me raise
Straight up out of bed,
fight-or-flight reflex.
And let me tell you,
as soon something--
Anything like this ever happens
to me, I always say,
"hey, telephone,
what time is it?"
And it tells me 5:13 a.M.
At about
Ten minutes after
5:00 in the morning,
I was asleep just outside
of the main control room,
And I startled awake
From what you might
consider a night terror.
I decided I would go and,
Look at
the surveillance cameras.
As I was looking,
something caught my eye,
And it was a flash.
And he said, "let me show you
What I saw in the cameras."
I will show you
the actual footage.
I want to get your eyes on it.
I'm going to frame-advance
into this so you can see
Exactly what I saw.
Whoa.
Yeah, holy cow.
- My gosh.
It is such an intense burst
That surpasses anything else
in the sky.
Can you play that again?
- Yeah.
It's unexplainable, isn't it?
It's-it's
This is crazy.
From everything you are saying,
There is absolutely
no conventional explanation
For this.
Well, let me explain this.
So, as part of the search
For extraterrestrial
intelligence protocol,
One of the first things you do
if you think you've picked up
A radio signal from the stars
Or an optical signal
from the stars
Is you carefully track
its motion.
And we've got the video here
now tracking its motion
At stellar motion.
Meaning it's following
sidereal motion.
That's the motion of the stars.
We cannot build a spacecraft
that can do that.
We've been talking
about the area
Over the triangle being
some sort of anomaly,
Potentially a portal,
One end of a wormhole,
something.
What if that's the
- An interdimensional gateway.
It could be an-- yeah.
- What if-- yeah.
What if that's
the other end of the wormhole?
There's been so much lore
around the idea
That a portal or a wormhole
between deep space
And skinwalker ranch
is the gateway
For all the strange phenomena
that happens here.
Could this anomaly
that erik captured
On his skycam be evidence
that it's true?
I don't know, but I wonder
If we're getting closer
to an answer.
This escalates the importance
of what we're doing
And the need
to bring in individuals
That can help
shine a light on this
And at least pull in
a more collaborative approach.
Yeah, let me reach out
to some folks about
Some other instruments
that might be useful.
We've got logistics
to take care of.
I think we need to get moving
in that direction. - Yeah.
I know you are
on a schedule, so,
I think this is
a good place for us to end.
Yeah, let's go.
- Thanks.
Was this compelling?
- Yeah.
hell yes.
As mysterious events continue,
I think it's absolutely true
that what we've discovered here
And what we're
doing here ongoing
Could contribute to our
understanding of the universe.
We're seeing more strange
phenomena over skinwalker ranch,
Over the triangle,
and now we're seeing
A strange flash of light
Occurring over
the ranch to the south.
Are they connected?
It seems awfully likely
that they are.
We're gonna have
to find some answers
And solve this mystery
about what's going on out here.
All the adversity,
the equipment malfunctions
And the great difficulties,
we still captured on camera
Stunning ufo activity,
With astronomers present,
witnessing it.
Why are these things appearing?
What is the origin
and the agenda
Associated with the phenomena
That we are witnessing
at skinwalker ranch?
I think we've just barely
scratched the surface
Of exploring what secrets
the ranch holds.
If we were to come in
and dig again,
Would we get any response?
Where you dig
makes a difference.
It died.
We're getting
a spike in radiation.
There was a spike at 3,400.
Everybody out of here now.
Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?
I'm not broadcasting.
That's a communication signal
Or something.
This is out at
the carriage house.
What the hell is that?
You've captured a uap on camera.
Captioning provided by
a+e networks
This area is used
to keep the evil on that side.
Hey, travis, I'm seeing the
shadow of some other aircraft.
There's nothing within
50 miles of the ranch.
What happened?
What the heck is that? Some thing
Doesn't want us to collect data
from the triangle.
The cessna flew
62 and a half miles
Below the mesa.
- What on 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.
Here they are.
Pull it right in here
somewhere, dragon.
After last week's cessna
experiment at the triangle,
Our attempt to collect
usable data of the anomaly
Once again left us
With more questions
than answers.
Guys, I appreciate
y'all coming out.
So, to help us get a better
look at the triangle anomaly,
We invited richard tenney,
chuck hards and david moulton
From the salt lake astronomical
society out to the ranch.
They're going to help us
With tonight's experiment
at the triangle.
So, I have to ask you
what you know about the ranch.
What have you heard
about this place?
I'm a little familiar
with the history of it,
Just because, you know,
being a utah native and
And hearing the stories
over the years.
I have some family in the area,
Some friends,
And they-they tell me stories
of things
They've seen on the road and-and
Weird stuff.
- Really?
So, you know something
of the phenomenology
That we've been studying here?
Yes, a little bit.
And I'm gonna be candid.
This is all brand-new to me.
I have no prior knowledge
of what's going on.
Better yet.
So, guys, we have an anomaly
In the sky, in that direction,
Almost due west from right here.
It's in an area we call "the
triangle," and it's above that.
We've seen gps anomalies
and a radio signal
Actually coming from that area.
What we would like to do is look
Through the anomaly
at an astronomical object
And see if they seem to look
the way they're supposed to,
Or if they're obscured, moved,
or something along those lines.
So, here's the plan.
You guys start getting set up,
And what I would like to do is,
So you can see the area
that we're talking about
That has the anomaly in it,
Dragon and I are gonna take
a rocket out there
And set it up in-in this spot
And launch it right underneath
where we are.
You guys try and capture it
through the telescope.
That make sense?
- Yeah. - Yes, sir.
Okay.
- All right, let's go!
The plan
Is to have richard,
chuck and dave
Focus their
high-powered telescopes
Up at that mile-high area
Above the triangle while
We launch more rockets
in an attempt
To stimulate uap activity.
That's very impressive.
How tall is that?
Ten feet?
- Yeah.
It's a hundred inches
from the mirror down there
Up to the ipc here, actually.
This was a big experiment
With a lot of moving parts.
I'm up and running.
These guys have brought out
six different telescopes
That can capture
high-definition imagery
All the way out to outer space.
Each one also features
a computerized database
Of planets and constellations
So it can lock
onto a known object
In the sky above the triangle
And track that object's
motion precisely.
Any change in the appearance
of that object's motion means
That there's a gravitational
anomaly above the triangle,
Bending the starlight
in a way it shouldn't.
Hey, kaleb.
- Hey, erik.
You, called us in?
Yeah, so, I've got
this tracking cam ready.
Okay. - This is the ptz
that goes with the all-sky.
So, this is the one
that you're gonna pair
With the sky-facing one?
- Yeah, yeah. So, we've got
That fish-eye camera's looking
basically horizon to horizon.
It's that one right there, right?
- Right here.
Meanwhile, erik had thomas
And kaleb help install his new,
All-sky uap tracking
camera system
So we could have even more eyes
On the anomalous area
above the triangle.
This is a smart system.
It will hopefully help us
To avoid missing anything
that comes in our airspace.
Well, this is
This is amazing.
If you're ready to put that up,
I'll work with you in here on it.
Okay.
We'll go get her done.
- All right.
It's at the triangle
Where we've repeatedly detected
dangerously high energy spikes
About 5,000 feet up
Look at the sky, y'all!
Uap right there!
- Yup, I see it.
And also launched rockets
that stimulated numerous uaps
To suddenly appear.
You've got to be me.
I'm really excited
to have these.
It'll just be nice to be able
to actually zoom in on stuff
And track it across the sky.
Hey, erik?
Tom's about
to put the camera up for you.
Perfect. I've got him in view.
Adding to our
Surveillance program, we have
set up an all-sky camera.
This is a fish-eye lens that
sees from horizon to horizon
And straight overhead,
Taking in the entire canopy
of the sky.
We're also adding
a directable telescopic camera
That is able to identify,
track and follow objects
That appear in the sky
over the ranch.
Well, we just about got it, kaleb.
- Okay.
We're looking at the skies
over the triangle
And at the ranch
in a lot of different ways.
Hey, erik, it's kaleb.
We got the camera up.
Can you see on the network?
I've got it, guys.
It looks good. We can see
pretty much everything
We need to see
from that position.
Awesome.
That's one thing
off the checklist.
This new all-sky
camera system is really vital
To our experiment.
The telescopes will be
locked onto the anomaly
Above the triangle with
a very narrow field of view,
So if uap appear
anywhere else on the ranch,
We need to make sure
we can capture them on video.
The camera system
will also be able
To monitor the ranch cattle.
Because of how the cows
have acted in the past
When uap appeared, they will
make the perfect biosensors
During the experiment.
All right. That's all we got.
I guess we'll just
set it up in the center.
Yeah.
As we prepare for our
most advanced experiment yet,
Dragon and I went down
to the triangle
To set up for the first rocket.
Put it down so it's There we go.
- Try to get it level.
You think that's far enough
away from the truck?
Well,
That depends
on who you're asking.
Whose truck is it?
Since we only have
an approximate zone of interest,
This experiment
will have two goals.
First, we want to record
the best footage possible
Of any uap that might appear.
If you want
to lock it about right there
While we work on it,
that's fine.
That's fine. I'll just lock it.
- See if you can
Get it about like that, bryant.
- Yup.
All right, we got the motor.
And second, we want
to pinpoint the exact spot
That these things
could be originating from.
I'm thinking that right there
Is a pretty-pretty good angle.
- Okay.
You locked in? All right.
- Yup, we're locked.
I'm gonna turn the lights on
and, we'll get ready to go.
And there's
There's a special light
We put in the nose cone, too.
For this rocket,
We have led lights
blinking all over the thing
So the astronomers out here
can find the thing in the sky.
It's fine. All right.
And then we'll turn these on
right before we go.
Once we were done,
all we needed was the dark
And the telescopes ready to go.
You can call 'em and tell 'em
That we're gonna be good
to go whenever they are.
Okay.
Hey there, tom and kandus.
- Hi, jim.
Hello, neighbors.
- Hello.
How you doing, kiddo?
- Hi.
Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Nice to see you.
- While we waited
For the sun to go down,
Jim morse, tom lewis
And kandus linde were continuing
Their effort to meet with
the members of the community
Who have their own stories
about bizarre phenomenon.
It's nice to have addy
come up here and visit with us
And compare notes as neighbors.
Yeah. Thanks for having me over.
- You're our closest,
Closest neighbor. We run
into you every once in a while.
Addy is part of the ute tribe,
And she has a few things
She wants to share with us
that may help us
With the investigation
here on the ranch.
She just had witnessed something
That I thought
would be pretty profound.
Yeah, well, it was actually
a couple nights ago.
Yeah.
- So what happened the other night?
Well, me and a friend was
bringing in groceries,
And he called me out
to look up at the sky.
And there was
a big old bright light.
Hear anything?
- It was so quiet.
Yeah, and it was heading
up north, and then it stops.
But usually, when you see
an anomaly out here,
They disappear because it's like
they know you see it.
But this one didn't do that.
And then it started
to go faster north.
And then it's gone.
Have you seen this type
of thing before?
Yeah, I've actually seen it
before a few times.
And my grandpa would talk about
Different anomalies
he would see and things
That would happen
around the farm.
Like what, as an example?
One night, he was out
in the four-wheeler,
And, he noticed the cows
were looking up at the sky,
And there was a big old bright
ball very low to the ground.
And it rose up,
and then it just disappeared.
Wow.
Her story rings a bell because
We had this strange incident
with this cow
That just died all of sudden.
Still don't know
why it happened.
What in the world?
There were some strange events
Around the death of that cow.
Is that black object the cow?
Yeah, the cow is right here.
I'm gonna do this,
very slowly, frame by frame.
So here, I can't help
but also notice
That there's
something happening here.
Whoa! Look at that!
- Yeah, there it is right there.
I mean, having correlated
stories, very similar--
That was very interesting.
So we have the lights
with the cow.
Anything else come to mind?
My grandpa's seen some,
I guess you'd say
it was a skinwalker.
I don't know if I want
to talk about this one, though.
People out here
that have lived in the area--
They've grown up with these
This-this phenomenon
called "the skinwalker."
This is when the navajo
And the utes got
into more than a skirmish.
Back in the mid-1800s,
The navajos ended up
cursing the utes.
The skinwalker is
a shape-shifter.
So there's a fear associated
with talking about these things.
It is scary to talk about.
- Yeah.
On the flip side, though,
what we're trying to do is
We're trying to get
as many stories as we can get.
Yeah.
- You know, because it
It helps paint a picture
of what's maybe going on
In, you know,
in this particular area
On skinwalker ranch,
But the uinta basin in general.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
And the more people talk
about that, the easier it gets
For other people to talk about it.
Okay.
Um, my grandpa went out
In the field,
and he noticed a tall,
Dark, you know, figure
watching him cut hay.
And each time he would go
around the The field,
It would get closer and closer.
And he said it looked like
it had, like, a long cloak.
And then, when he got closer
to it, it just vanished.
Disappeared. I don't know why.
There is some scary things
that have gone on
Over the years on this ranch.
- Yeah.
To have witness testimony
To the reality of what
we're experiencing at the ranch
Is both thrilling,
and it's also terrifying.
I mean, what we're
dealing with here is
Something not
to be taken lightly.
Well, thank you for coming up.
You are our closest neighbor.
Yeah.
- You know?
Really appreciate it.
It's always good to see you.
It's good to see you guys.
- Thanks for being so receptive.
I'm gonna walk addy home.
- Thanks, jim.
What lies ahead?
I think we have before us
a great challenge
To understand
the origin and the agenda
Associated with the phenomena,
With what we are
interacting with
On skinwalker ranch.
Hey, bryant, go ahead.
We're gonna say
another two-minute
Time frame starting
Here shortly.
- As soon as it was
Dark enough to see the stars,
It was time
to start the experiment.
I want to fire rockets
straight up
From the inside of the triangle
While the astronomers
view and capture
Incredibly close images
of the anomaly.
And hopefully, they can record
something we can analyze later.
And you've got a good view
of their position?
Yeah, I think.
- Great.
Whenever they're ready.
All right, so let's lock it
about-about right there.
Like that? Yeah.
- Yup, the wind's picking up
A little bit more.
Hey, bryant, travis,
You guys ready for launch?
We're waiting on him.
Yeah, we are, erik.
Anytime you're ready,
We can start the timer,
go radio silence,
And we will launch.
Please stand by.
Give me a moment.
I'm having trouble getting my,
computerized mount aligned.
Hey, bryant, please hold.
We're not ready.
Holding the count.
- No problem.
We'll hold. Just let us know.
Don't let me distract you,
but if you can describe briefly,
What is the function
that you're trying to do
That it's not doing?
- When we
When I first set up the mount,
I have to aim it
at a couple of stars.-
And that builds the model
of the sky in the computer.
It's not letting me do that.
I've had this particular
telescope over ten years now,
And I have never had
a problem like this.
Okay, now it's moving.
- It's not the light
That's throwing it off, is it?
- No.
It becomes clear
That things are getting
really strange, really fast.
And we're having difficulty
performing even the most basic
Calibration exercises
with the telescopes in order
To locate themselves in space.
For some reason,
this doesn't surprise me.
Hey, we're all set up here
to launch this rocket
Whenever you guys are ready
with your equipment.
We're not ready.
The object I just slewed to
a little while ago
Is now no longer
in the database.
This is junk right now.
This is just thousands of
dollars' worth of junk.
So, what do you mean
that it's not in there?
This has thousands of objects
in the database.
Stars, planets, galaxies,
everything. - Yeah.
And if you enter it and hit it,
it will slew to that object.
I had it on one earlier,
And that object is no longer
in the database.
They're listed alphabetically.
- The one that you started with?
Right. It had to be in there
for me to slew to it.
Does this operate off gps?
- No, no.
We're doing it all manual
so that we don't have
To rely on gps.
The one I'm looking for
is called "rasalgethi."
The one we want is not there.
Has it ever done this before?
- The one that's right
No, but that's the star
that's where the anomaly is.
So, the star above the anomaly
is not showing up there?
Not in the database.
And it was a little while ago.
Are you hearing this, erik?
I find it really mysterious that
As soon as we attempt
to lock on to stars
That are above the triangle,
They are being deleted one at
a time from the star catalog
On the internal memory
of his telescope computer.
I don't even know
how that's possible.
What is gaining access
to the memory of this system?
It doesn't want me
to slew to the anomaly.
See, that's the one we want.
And that's the one not showing up?
- It's not there.
Hey, erik, we are ready
To roll
when you guys tell us to.
Another star just disappeared
from the database.
You have got to be kidding me.
There's nothing
in the anomaly area
That is in the database anymore.
Now, you're not connected
to network?
You're not pulling anything
from the cloud,
Or anything that would be updating?
- Nothing.
As soon as I try to point it
to the anomaly area,
Any-any object
And that's a big piece of sky.
There are a lot of things
in the catalog
In that part of the sky,
And I can find things
all around the perimeter of it,
But nothing in the middle.
We're dealing
with an issue over here.
As these stars are tracking
into the anomaly, they are
Disappearing off the menu
of the telescope.
We're not even able
To train the telescope
on the stars because
As the stars enter that area,
They are disappearing
off the menu of the telescope.
That's actually crazy.
So, let me get this straight.
Ask them if they mean
it's disappearing from the menu
In the computer
from the telescopes
Of potential stars
they can look at,
Or if they're literally
disappearing?
They are disappearing
from the menu,
Disappearing
from the internal catalog
In the computer
that's running the scope.
It was baffling that telescopes
Of this caliber, design
and from different manufacturers
Would all glitch like that.
In fact, we've had so many
sophisticated equipment failures
Take place
during our experiments
That it's almost become a sign
that something strange is about
To happen on the ranch.
We really need
to launch this rocket.
Come on, dragon.
Let's get this rocket ready.
Be advised, guys.
We're about to shoot the rocket
and shoot it right through
Whatever this is!
- No.
Hurry up.
What if something happens?
We need to launch
this rocket now.
We need to launch
this rocket now.
I want to go!
When the professional grade
Astronomical telescopes failed,
I knew this could be
One of those times
Where ranch activity
really starts to kick up.
Tell them to get ready
for a countdown.
We're gonna launch
in two minutes.
Okay, we're gonna launch
this rocket in two minutes.
So I wanted to start
launching rockets
As fast as we could
And see if we can get a response
From the anomaly
above the triangle.
Five, four,
Three,
Two, one.
See, that one shot up there.
There it is.
All right.
Are you capturing stuff?
This scope is pretty dead.
I mean - Dead?
I aimed it manually
in the, in the anomaly area,
And then
the camera wouldn't work.
I-I couldn't get a,
I couldn't get a feed
From the camera to the laptop.
And this camera
is suddenly not working
When I'm pointing it over there.
Really?
Yeah.
- Your camera's not working?
This one's not
working on the Over
So, when you point this
towards the triangle,
It's not working?
- Nothing's showing up on the camera.
It's hard to explain
why so many things go wrong
Anytime we tried
to swing the telescopes
In the direction of the anomaly.
You know, we were able
to image fine outside of that,
But the minute
we get inside there,
A number of mechanical problems,
Seemed to occur,
which is I-inexplicable.
All three of you
have had glitches here
That you don't see other places?
Never had them before.
- Yeah.
I can't get any of the cameras
At the bait pen to come up.
You're not getting a response
From any of our cameras
out there?
No. No.
Everything's dead out there.
I can't get through to anything.
So, when he pointed
that big telescope
Towards the triangle
The screen went black.
Now, that is really spooky.
Makes you feel crazy.
Hey, travis, we're not even
able to train the telescope
On the stars.
So what's going
into the computer
And telling the computer
and the telescope
That the star isn't there?
I've never heard
of such a thing.
Since the telescope computers
Wouldn't align with the stars,
The astronomers
had to align them manually,
But when they moved
the telescopes
To look at the anomaly,
the telescopes failed.
Their cameras
wouldn't get an image
Through the triangle anomaly.
Before it was the computers
that weren't working,
And now it's the actual cameras
connected to the telescopes.
Hey, bryant, travis,
do you copy?
We got you. Go ahead.
We can fixate on stars
elsewhere,
But not the ones
over the anomaly.
No kidding?
- So, I think it'd be a good idea
Just to shine
the laser straight up
To provide a reference
that we can fixate on.
That's what we're gonna do.
- Okay.
If you're ready,
we will shine it right now.
Go right
Go right up to launch rail.
Since the telescope's
computer wasn't working,
Erik got the idea
to have kaleb aim
A military-grade laser pointer
up through the triangle
So that chuck could
manually focus on it
To see if anything strange
could be identified
In the anomalous zone.
There you go.
- Okay. Kaleb is shining
The laser straight up.
Can you see it?
Have you got it in there now?
Yeah, that's it.
- Okay, good.
Yes, we can see the green laser.
Hey, travis?
What-- yeah. Yeah, kaleb?
There's points
where it looks like the,
The beam, like,
disconnects from itself.
What? Where you are now?
Yeah.
What?
I-I don't know.
It's just weird.
Like, right there. You see that?
Yeah, I did see that.
- It's like it jumps.
Yeah, right there.
It did it again.
Right there, looking like
it suddenly got shorter.
See, how--
looks like it's cutting off?
Yeah, it's like
there's something there.
There's something there.
When kaleb pointed the laser
up through the triangle,
We expected it
to just go straight up.
But as he's moving it around,
It looks like
it actually gets shorter,
Like it's being cut off
at a certain point
By an object or something
that we can't see,
And it's right there,
in the anomalous zone
Above the triangle.
Hey, guys. Y'all are not
gonna believe this.
Chances are we're gonna believe
anything you say, travis.
Kaleb is pointing
The laser pointer
up into the sky,
And it's like it hits something
and it only goes
A certain distance, and then
he moves it and it goes further.
Dude, did you see it bend?!
Dude, did you see that?!
Then the end of the laser bends.
Did you see that?
We're hitting something,
And the laser beam
is literally bending.
What in the hell is that?
I can see it,
like, bending.-
I'm watching two beams.
I am literally watching
two beams from right here.
It makes a "y" out of the beam.
And then the laser
actually splits into a y.
We can see two beams happening
When it hits something up there.
God, I wish I could
see that from here.
That's insane, dude.
Travis.
Any sense of how high up
this object is?
Somewhere about 2,000 feet up.
We really need to launch
this rocket through that.
Come on. Dragon,
let's get this rocket ready.
Let's shoot it right through
where that is.
All I could think was that
maybe we finally pinpointed
The anomaly above the triangle
Where the laser beam
was splitting.
So, it was definitely time
to fire a rocket
Up there and see
what would happen.
I want to go.
Keep that laser beam
up there, kaleb.
I'm gonna try to point
this rocket there.
This is not going anything like
what I would have expected.
Well, I'll tell you right now,
I got chills everywhere.
I need to tilt it just a little.
Probably right there.
All right, kaleb. Yeah.
- Right there, travis. Right there.
All right,
that's where I'm pointing.
I'm pointing right at that.
Yep. - Right there.
Okay. Everybody, clear back.
We've seen a lot of weird stuff,
And I'm hoping the rockets
will go right through that spot
And they can see
if something weird happens
To its trajectory through
the telescopes while it's going.
Five, four,
Three, two, one.
When kaleb pointed
the laser up into the triangle,
The beam bent, split
and appeared to hit something.
Which should be impossible.
- That looked like a beautiful flight.
That was straight up.
So we decided
to quickly launch a rocket
And see if we couldn't hit
whatever it was causing that.
There we go. Here.
Yeah.
I'll go grab that.
All right,
I'll tell you what, kaleb.
Just get it and just meet us
back at the helipad.
Dragon and I will break down
Okay. - Load everything
up and head back.
After our rocket launch
up into the triangle,
I was eager to go join
the others at the helipad
And see if we could get
a look through the telescopes
At what might have
caused the laser
To bend and split like that.
We're gonna head back and then,
Just go back to basic
Astronomical observation.
Copy that. See you soon.
All right, let's do it.
The cattle
are acting very abnormal.
We're sitting on the helipad,
And the cows start
to really act up.
They're mooing a lot.
They're making a lot of noise.
Erik,
the cows have pushed in on us.
Is it all of them
or is it just a few?
The whole herd is scattered
through the entire field.
Something has definitely
scared them
And-and stirred them up.
What the heck? They pushed
all the way around the helipad.
I'm getting something
on the 1.6.
Hey, guys,
so thomas is out in the field.
We often talk about
these cows being biosensors.
And after what's happened
in the past with animals
On this ranch,
we always keep a keen eye
On the cattle
for any strange activity.
Suddenly, they're acting weird
While we're conducting
this experiment at the triangle,
And there's also
massive equipment failures.
My first thought was,
"we should be looking up."
Everybody, scan the skies,
scan the skies.
Look at this one right here.
I don't know what that is.
What the hell is that
in the sky?
To the south.
There it is!
It's moving real slow.
Well, I'm looking at it.
There's no red or green
or white lights on it.
That thing is big and spherical.
Yes, it is.
It's got a black dot
in the center of it.
What in the crap?
I am seeing a double peak
near 1.6 with some side bands.
I noticed that the spectrum
analyzer is giving us once again
This mysterious
1.6 gigahertz signal.
The 1.6 is often seen in
conjunction with uap activity.
There's no red or green
or white lights on it.
It doesn't look like
it's that far away, either.
Richard spots this object
up in the sky,
And it's not blinking
like an aircraft.
It's not like anything
I've ever seen before.
And it starts to track
towards the east
And then it started
to turn towards the north.
It's definitely one of
the more incredible sightings
That I've seen here
on skinwalker ranch.
And it's coming up
on jupiter right now.
Yes, it is.
- It's going right under jupiter.
And it's almost
as big as jupiter.
That is bright.
- That ain't an airplane.
Airplanes at night have
to have navigational lights,
Red and green.
And these lights will blink.
And, this object that I saw,
It didn't have that deliberate
direction that an airplane has.
It-it seemed to be kind of
lazy and slow-moving,
Taking its time.
It had no navigation lights,
no landing lights.
The entire object was glowing.
I still see it,
but it's getting dim.
It just disappeared.
Wow.
It didn't move like
Anything that I've seen before,
And it-it certainly,
when-when we zeroed in on it,
It didn't look like anything
that I've seen before.
And after all this, I-I'm gonna
have to just sit down and think
For a few minutes.
- Yeah, I don't know how to process this.
Yeah. This is the kind of thing
That makes us feel
like it's targeted.
You know. The fact that you can
pick up a star anywhere,
But once you go to the spot
that we're trying to observe,
It Doesn't work.
- Yeah.
How can something know
that you are pointing
That dobsonian telescope
in that direction?
There's no electronic
setting circles,
No encoders.
There's nothing. No gp--
There's nothing on that.
- Nope.
You get away from the anomaly
And everything's normal again.
- Wow.
We were all mentally exhausted
By whatever that was
That appeared after
our final rocket launch.
It was the biggest uap
we've seen so far,
And it appeared
to have come closer
Than any of the others as well.
And with the cows
reacting the way they did,
It makes me think
that we're getting closer
To answers
here on skinwalker ranch.
When I first, contacted you guys
And I told you that there might
be a weird anomaly in the sky,
What-what was your thought then
versus what you think now?
I was really skeptical.
And now we're just
kind of freaked out.
It's beyond bizarre.
I don't know how to explain
something like that.
I was hoping to see things
I'd never seen before,
And I wasn't disappointed.
Until you come out here
and experience this,
You think it's, like,
all made-- you can't--
It's-it's too crazy.
You can't make this up.
I have no explanations
for anything going on out here.
All right, appreciate it, guys.
This was good stuff.
Crazy but good.
- Crazy but good.
Yes, crazy but good.
Come on in. I want
to get your eyes on this.
Dude, I got to tell you
what's going on
Over at my trailer.
I was sleeping pretty good,
and it's like something pounded
Into my trailer so hard,
the trailer actually moved.
It wasn't the sound itself
that woke you up?
The sound woke me up.
- I mean, I
I, like, just stood--
I mean, straight up from--
'cause it was such a bang.
It's like, something, like
It's like I backed my jeep into
the-the trailer or something.
I mean, the trailer
literally did that.
What time did you say it was?
It was right at 5:13 a.M.
Well, you're not
gonna believe it,
But that's about
the same time I woke up.
I had nightmares.
Really?
- It was, like, chill bumps.
Couldn't go back to sleep,
so I've been looking around
In the,
in the sky-facing cameras,
Looking at-at the stars.
And there's something
really interesting
That I haven't seen before
That I'd like to get your eyes on.
- Okay.
Um, it - Well,
I see you're looking at orion.
Yeah.
- Okay.
There, there. All right.
- Ho!
What was that? - Okay,
that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Yeah, look how bright-- that's
the brightest thing in the sky.
So, if I go through
frame by frame.
Wow.
Look at-- I mean, that's a
greater magnitude than jupiter.
The flash of light that erik
captured above the ranch
On his new surveillance
camera system was not only
One of the most
incredible anomalies
That we've documented so far,
But the time it appeared
was at the exact moment
In the morning
when something hit my trailer.
What could be that bright
And still just be setting
in one spot in the sky?
We don't have spacecraft
that can do an orbit like that.
Right?
Where's it coming from?
This phenomena was
even more intense
Than the uap we saw
just hours earlier
With the rest of the team.
Could it really be connected
to erik's nightmares
Or the force
that shook me awake?
I don't know.
But it made
this night of experiments
Even more compelling,
and is pretty convincing
That when we poke this ranch,
it responds.
Travis, every time
we get something new like this,
I-I put it in front of brandon,
in front of everybody
We got to get everybody's eyes on this.
- - Yeah.
You know, we got to show
dragon and tom.
This is a first of its kind.
All right, appreciate it, erik.
That's amazing, erik.
That's an amazing find
right there.
Later that afternoon,
we asked brandon
To drop everything,
come to the ranch
To see the data we collected.
Welcome back.
These were things that we knew
He would want to see for himself
as soon as possible.
Hey, guys.
I understand that you have
a few things to show me.
As always.
Let's dive in.
We invited,
Some astronomers
in a, in the local
Utah astronomy organization
To bring some very high-tech
telescopes
With camera platforms.
- And these are big telescopes.
We set up to launch some rockets
up through the anomaly
At the triangle,
and they would see this
With these very calibrated
and expensive, telescopes.
And something erased
the information
From a computer that's not
connected to any network.
Really?
It appears that something
Is deliberately meddling
with our systems,
With the third-party experts
and their systems,
Every time they're brought
on the damn ranch.
And with all
the craziness going on,
We caught on camera a uap,
But this is something
that I saw with my own eyes,
And it's probably
the most significant uap
That I have seen
in my entire time on the ranch.
So, I've got it cued up.
- You've captured the footage?
It's right here.
- We have it.
Great. Show me.
Wow.
You have got to be kidding.
It-it was so bright,
and it looked so close.
This is a spherical-shaped
object with structure.
I-I can, I can zoom in on this if
you'd like. - Yeah, zoom in on it.
And look at-- there's a dot
in the middle of it
That everybody could see
with their own eyes.
You see right there?
- You see where
You can definitely see that dot
In the middle of it right there.
If I had not seen it
with my own eyes,
I might would be tempted to say,
"okay, this is an optical
phenomena in the camera lens
That is out-- slightly
out of focus or something."
But it looked like that
to your own naked eye.
It was so bright,
it had subtense.
Look at that.
Well, and
- That is extraordinary.
And caught on multiple cameras.
I'm telling you, watching it
with my eyes, standing there,
Not trying to hold a camera,
The strange erratic movement
I-is what really cemented to me
That there is something
extremely strange about this.
I-I would tell you
that I think there's enough data
In the video footage that-that
this is more than a uap,
That this is a ufo.
This is an unidentified
flying object.
It's not just
some aerial phenomena.
Wow.
It continues
to shock me to this day
That we saw,
yet again, another uap.
And that's not
the only thing that happened.
It gets better.
You know, the strangeness
just continues.
We have something to show you
That I've personally
never seen before.
In fact, I didn't even think
Something like this
was possible.
So, this is a little complex,
but, boy, is it a story.
Yeah, so I'll start
from my perspective.
Okay.
- While I was asleep in my trailer,
Something immediately
made me raise
Straight up out of bed,
fight-or-flight reflex.
And let me tell you,
as soon something--
Anything like this ever happens
to me, I always say,
"hey, telephone,
what time is it?"
And it tells me 5:13 a.M.
At about
Ten minutes after
5:00 in the morning,
I was asleep just outside
of the main control room,
And I startled awake
From what you might
consider a night terror.
I decided I would go and,
Look at
the surveillance cameras.
As I was looking,
something caught my eye,
And it was a flash.
And he said, "let me show you
What I saw in the cameras."
I will show you
the actual footage.
I want to get your eyes on it.
I'm going to frame-advance
into this so you can see
Exactly what I saw.
Whoa.
Yeah, holy cow.
- My gosh.
It is such an intense burst
That surpasses anything else
in the sky.
Can you play that again?
- Yeah.
It's unexplainable, isn't it?
It's-it's
This is crazy.
From everything you are saying,
There is absolutely
no conventional explanation
For this.
Well, let me explain this.
So, as part of the search
For extraterrestrial
intelligence protocol,
One of the first things you do
if you think you've picked up
A radio signal from the stars
Or an optical signal
from the stars
Is you carefully track
its motion.
And we've got the video here
now tracking its motion
At stellar motion.
Meaning it's following
sidereal motion.
That's the motion of the stars.
We cannot build a spacecraft
that can do that.
We've been talking
about the area
Over the triangle being
some sort of anomaly,
Potentially a portal,
One end of a wormhole,
something.
What if that's the
- An interdimensional gateway.
It could be an-- yeah.
- What if-- yeah.
What if that's
the other end of the wormhole?
There's been so much lore
around the idea
That a portal or a wormhole
between deep space
And skinwalker ranch
is the gateway
For all the strange phenomena
that happens here.
Could this anomaly
that erik captured
On his skycam be evidence
that it's true?
I don't know, but I wonder
If we're getting closer
to an answer.
This escalates the importance
of what we're doing
And the need
to bring in individuals
That can help
shine a light on this
And at least pull in
a more collaborative approach.
Yeah, let me reach out
to some folks about
Some other instruments
that might be useful.
We've got logistics
to take care of.
I think we need to get moving
in that direction. - Yeah.
I know you are
on a schedule, so,
I think this is
a good place for us to end.
Yeah, let's go.
- Thanks.
Was this compelling?
- Yeah.
hell yes.
As mysterious events continue,
I think it's absolutely true
that what we've discovered here
And what we're
doing here ongoing
Could contribute to our
understanding of the universe.
We're seeing more strange
phenomena over skinwalker ranch,
Over the triangle,
and now we're seeing
A strange flash of light
Occurring over
the ranch to the south.
Are they connected?
It seems awfully likely
that they are.
We're gonna have
to find some answers
And solve this mystery
about what's going on out here.
All the adversity,
the equipment malfunctions
And the great difficulties,
we still captured on camera
Stunning ufo activity,
With astronomers present,
witnessing it.
Why are these things appearing?
What is the origin
and the agenda
Associated with the phenomena
That we are witnessing
at skinwalker ranch?
I think we've just barely
scratched the surface
Of exploring what secrets
the ranch holds.
If we were to come in
and dig again,
Would we get any response?
Where you dig
makes a difference.
It died.
We're getting
a spike in radiation.
There was a spike at 3,400.
Everybody out of here now.
Erik, are you doing
something at 1.6?
I'm not broadcasting.
That's a communication signal
Or something.
This is out at
the carriage house.
What the hell is that?
You've captured a uap on camera.
