The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s04e02 Episode Script

As we survey
just over the east field here
and in the vicinity
of the triangle
All right, we're going.
we want to understand
whether we're dealing with
a persistent effect
in those two regions
of the ranch.
- What?
- We are getting
an anomaly in the air right now.
You were at 300 feet
and were detecting
- an object.
- You're kidding?
I don't know why, but I feel
really nervous about this.
We're getting buffeted
from the wind a little bit.
Whoa, whoa.
We're getting our asses kicked.
The helicopter just
just moved.
Whatever it was,
it was trying to push us off.
What could that be?
It tends to have a shape to it.
My gosh, this is crazy.
You guys caught
something amazing.
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.
Yeah. They're here.
Hey, guys.
After our experiments last week
above the triangle
and over the east field,
where we detected anomalies
300 feet in the air
and Brandon's helicopter
was pushed around
by some kind
of invisible force
Man, you got
a big crew with you.
we invited the team
from Sky Elements
out to the ranch to see
if they could help us
verify and also identify
just what could be happening
in those two areas.
We got Preston,
Tyler, and the team.
Welcome to the Skinwalker Ranch.
Thanks. Love to be here.
Now, unfortunately,
Pete Kelsey was afraid
that his lidar scanner may
not have gotten accurate data.
So here we are,
over the east field,
and there's where
I said, you know what,
we've got an anomaly
in this spot again.
Be advised,
the vendor looked at this
and went, "You're ghosting,"
and to cut to the chase,
I don't think this
is 100% conclusive
in either direction.
I-I agree with that.
Something was clearly happening
to the helicopter
in both locations.
So now we're hoping
that Sky Elements
can run a safer and much
more comprehensive scan
over the triangle
and the east field
with their cutting-edge
drone technology
to get us better data
and hopefully some answers.
I was going to ask
how much homework
you guys have done on
this before you said yes.
Very little.
We've flown in a lot of,
you know, complex locations,
so we're looking forward to it.
Tell 'em, Pete.
I've lost three drones here.
One over the triangle,
where we'll be flying tonight.
It's worth mentioning that
during some of our
helicopter exercises, also,
we've had unusual, um,
air current patterns.
There was a lot of buffeting of
the helicopter during our study
of this anomaly
that we're talking about
in the vicinity of the triangle,
so you might see the drones
struggling to maintain position.
I don't think we've
ever brought expert on
where their equipment
has operated
the way that it
was designed to operate,
and so if you have
malfunctions, we need to know.
Why don't you tell us
a little bit about Sky Elements
and what you guys do?
So, we take, you know,
100, 200 drones,
or even a thousand drones,
and make a synchronized swarm
to make all kinds of images
or shapes or anything like that.
I brought Kyle and
Tyler out here with me
to help manage everything
and get this going today.
Very cool.
We've been wanting to fly
a pattern of drones,
over certain
anomalies that we have.
We have two specific anomalies.
The east field
and the one at the triangle.
And the first place we want
to start is the triangle.
The idea of the experiment
is to take Sky Elements' drones,
which are typically
used for huge light shows,
and launch them over
the triangle and the east field
to watch their
illuminated formations
against the night sky.
That will make it easy
to see any deviations in
their preprogrammed patterns
and hopefully determine
the exact location
of the anomalies
that we encountered last week,
about 300 feet in the air.
The team from Sky Elements
will fly the illuminated swarm
of 200 drones in
a huge rectangular formation
over both locations,
starting with the triangle.
Erik is going to put GPS
devices on the four drones
placed at each
corner of the swarm.
This will help us monitor
the drones' exact position
above our target areas
during the experiment,
so if anything pushes
the drones out of formation,
or if something even
crazier happens to them,
those GPS trackers
will hopefully help us
pinpoint the location
of any anomalies
and figure out
what they could be.
I will be watching you from
the ground with
a terrestrial laser scanner,
so we will have
visual and forensic
point cloud data of your
every move when we're done.
So how many drones did you bring
- with you tonight?
- We brought 200 with us.
200, and we're going to
be able to fly them all at once?
- Absolutely.
- All right, cool.
In addition to the GPS data
we're recording during
the drone experiment,
Pete Kelsey is going to conduct
expansive ground-based
3D lidar scans
with what's known as
a terrestrial scanner.
It emits infrared laser light
that will create a detailed
map of the target areas,
and at the same time,
can help identify anomalies
that the naked eye
isn't able to see.
One more thing,
once we get out there,
I kind of want to see
what your flight plan is
'cause I also,
we're going to launch
a couple of rockets tonight,
and I need to make sure
we launch the rockets in
a place where the recovery
and the launch is going
to be completely safe
form-from your flight path.
Absolutely.
Once we get over there,
I can show you all that.
- All right.
Well, I suggest we get out there
and get all set up.
We're losing daylight.
Let's do it.
The opportunity
to bring drones out here
and put them up in the air
is something I'm really
excited to witness.
We have a big job ahead of us.
I mean, this is a big setup,
and it requires a lot of people
to make it work successfully.
All right, ready? We
got to start getting your stuff out
and lets figure out
where you got to be.
It's going to be
interesting to see if these drones
can keep their position,
and if they don't
start falling out of the sky
like we've seen
with other drones.
Which way do they go? Like that?
While we were getting
everything set up
at the triangle
for the drone experiment
Okay.
nearby, ranch manager
Jim Morse, along
with ranch caretakers
Kandus Linde and Tom Lewis
Hey.
- How you doing?
were meeting
with Lloyd Arrive,
a DJ at Native
Voltage Rez Radio.
Over the last four years,
we've found that
bizarre things happen
outside the boundaries
of Skinwalker Ranch,
and Brandon Fugal had
recently heard from Lloyd
that he had quite
a story to share
about a place
known as Bottle Hollow.
It's a reservoir about
a mile north of the ranch
where a lot of strange phenomena
have been reported in the past
by local residents.
So, how long
have you lived out here?
Well, I lived here
when I was a little kid
with my grandpa and grandma.
So you're Ute?
I'm Ute. Yeah. I'm Northern Ute.
I'm Uncompahgre,
- Northern Ute.
- Okay, fantastic.
So, you understand the genealogy
or the lineage here associated
with the Navajo and the Ute,
and the Navajo cursing
the ground out here and
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, just
You know,
the stories that goes on
with the with the Natives
or with the Utes around here.
The lore of the skinwalker
really initiated
back in the mid-1800s.
This is when the Navajo
and the Utes
got into
more than a skirmish.
The Navajos ended up cursing
the Utes with the skinwalker,
a transformation
of a human being
into an animal form.
Some Native Americans
don't talk about it
because they don't want
that curse put on them.
So there's a level,
not only of just respect,
but fear of this lore.
Well, we over there at
the, Skinwalker Ranch
are very respectful.
We're out here as guests,
and so we appreciate
any kind of feedback
that you can give us.
Yeah.
- So, it's my understanding
that you got some photographs
to show us that you captured
over by Bottle Hollow?
Yes, I did, and,
I created an event
that I set up on Bottle
Hollow and played music
on a Fourth of July weekend.
We were, um, tearing
down the equipment,
and this lady that lives on the
other side of the lake there,
she invited us
to go get some food.
So, we were on our way down,
and we noticed the, noticed the,
canopy up there.
It was a quick snap.
We noticed that dot, you know,
- on top of it.
- Wow.
But it didn't come toward us,
it just went around,
and it headed
towards the Skinwalker.
Wow.
Amazing.
And it was up there,
and that's where it hovered.
Went back and forth,
and then finally
it just disappeared.
Did it make any
sound that you could hear?
No, no, no. It's not a plane,
it's not a helicopter,
it's just a
an object that's up there.
That's pretty profound.
We see those
from time to time
over on Skinwalker.
Yeah.
I look at this photo
he brings up on his computer
and immediately you can see
this is a UAP of some sort.
And it's very similar
to the one that we saw
right above the cow that died
on the ranch four years ago.
So, connections like this
that we're looking for
in the surrounding community
may help us with
the investigation on the ranch.
So, when you took this
photograph, you were what,
maybe a quarter mile
away from the lake?
- Yeah, yeah.
- From Bottle Hollow?
You said it was Sunday morning.
Was it in the morning?
It was in the afternoon.
It was the afternoon
Huh.
- that-that it was there.
Is there anything else
that you've seen
in this area
around Bottle Hollow?
Yeah.
One night we were
coming up here,
me and my nephew.
His name is Isaac.
And we come up
on, Bottle Hollow.
And we seen a bright light
from the same area
where this was, but it
was in the evening time,
so I was, like,
flashing my car light,
just messing around,
but it flashed back.
Then it turned into, like,
a red, glowing orb.
It was just going so slow.
- It was weird.
- Yeah, yeah.
It's just becoming
more and more clear
and evident that Bottle Hollow
is a unique and special place.
It's very close to the ranch.
There's obviously some sort
of connection to the ranch,
and it deserves more research.
Well, Lloyd, I appreciate
that you reached out to us
and wanted to-to share.
Yeah,
because we've met so many locals,
and some that are willing
to share their stories,
but not so much with the public.
I believe there's a lot
of Natives that are out there
that are willing
to talk with you,
you know, and I can plug that
in to my radio station too,
to have them get in
contact with you guys.
Okay, that works.
- Yeah.
You know, I can do it,
like, right now.
- Okay.
- You can do it right now?
Excellent.
Lloyd offered
to put out a message
on his radio station,
calling for people to come
forward with their stories,
and that's very valuable.
I'd like to give out,
information to anyone out there
within the reservation
that would like to get in
contact with Skinwalker Ranch.
If you've seen anything
around Bottle Hollow
or any phenomenon
within the basin,
get in contact
and share your stories.
People aren't so
willing, right now anyway,
to share their stories
in an official way,
but with Lloyd's help,
that will change.
And thanks for listening
to Native Voltage Rez Radio
90.3 FM.
Cool.
- Thank you very much.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, thanks,
it's been a pleasure.
It's been a pleasure, Lloyd.
- We'll see you.
- Yes, thank you.
I got to tape our GPS modules,
and then we are going to
do the experiment.
So we're going to go over here
and get it all done.
- All right, fantastic.
Once the sun went down,
we were finally ready
to begin our experiment
at the 300-foot altitude
above the triangle.
As the team from Sky Elements
did their final check
on the 200 drones
Erik and I finished
securing the GPS devices.
Perfect.
This will be interesting.
And I'll pretty much
guarantee it's never
been tried before.
- I'd agree with that.
And Pete Kelsey got
his lidar device ready to begin
scanning the drones
once they were launched.
Here we go.
I'm really excited to
see the data we get from that,
I think it's going
to be really cool.
Hey, how's it going?
We're getting there.
We're about ready,
how are y'all doing?
Trying to make sure
everything runs smooth.
For now, everything
looks like it's good to go.
- We are ready to fly.
- Fantastic.
Drones armed.
Turning on lights.
Lights are on.
All right,
we have drones armed guys.
All right, we're good here.
Five, four,
three, two, one.
Wow.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Okay, I'm broadcasting
1.6 gigahertz.
Right after the
drones were launched,
Erik started broadcasting the
1.6 gigahertz frequency signal
that we've recorded on the ranch
during our previous experiments.
All right, we'll be back
after we launch the rocket.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
And then, Thomas and I
headed to a position
just west of the triangle,
so we could get a rocket
ready to launch.
Both of these tools seem to have
stimulated phenomena
to occur in the past,
so we wanted to see how it
might affect the drone swarm.
They just moved into place.
Look how tight they are.
- Yep, yep.
That looks perfect.
All right, we're ready to roll.
Show's rolling.
- They're moving.
- Yep.
Should be just about
over the triangle here, guys.
Hey, look right here.
- What we got?
- Hey, look.
We've got drones
that are out of sequence.
Yeah, we do.
There are several in a line
right down the middle of it!
Hey, Erik?
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
There are several
drones out of line
we can see from our perspective.
They are clearly out of place.
Yeah, we've got eyes on that.
When the 200
drones were first launched,
their preprogrammed
formation looked perfect.
They were all in a tight,
uniform pattern,
and lit up beautifully.
Where are they?
The pattern is directly
over the triangle
right now, Travis.
They're going
right through the anomaly.
But then,
right when they reached
the 300-foot spot
above the triangle,
several of them were clearly
diverted out of formation
by something.
Our drones use
very sophisticated GPS's,
we have a Wi-Fi network,
we have a redundant RF network.
These are precise
positionings that we maintain.
So having those drones
out of position
in that grid pattern was
something very unusual.
Hey, Tyler,
I just lost three drones,
losing four, losing five.
Well, how many drones
do you have connected?
I have 80 disconnected.
Fail safe.
Look at that.
- What is this?
- They're coming home.
Hey, guys, everybody
stand by close to the grid.
We need to get these guys
unplugged quick.
I've never seen that.
Something happened
because those drones
had to return to
the ground unexpectedly.
So they all landed way sooner
than they were supposed to.
It's nothing that I can explain.
Let's head back over there.
All right, lets head back.
We've only seen those
drones return to home
like that in
extreme temperatures,
when we're working in
the snow or the excess heat,
when those batteries are really
getting pushed to the limit.
But out here on
Skinwalker Ranch,
we only saw about
60 degrees at the lowest,
and it's nothing that
should have happened.
Something interesting
we're seeing.
Um, it appears the batteries are
draining quicker than usual,
than what we usually see.
How much quicker?
I don't know
that I can quantify it,
but I just noticed
that some of them
seem to be decreasing
quicker than usual.
Wow. Well, then maybe
we need to fly quick.
So Erik warned
us that weird things
happened with the electronics,
and we're very confident
in our systems,
we've done hundreds
of drone shows,
but there is definitely
something going on here
that affects the batteries,
the drone positioning,
all kinds of things that
are just very unusual
and very unexplainable.
So we have a couple of options
for what we can fly next.
We can fly the grid again
and see if we see
the exact same behaviors.
Repeatability is really good.
We would do
the exact same thing.
We still got a rocket
ready to go.
Yes, I agree, repeatability.
Given what we've seen
and how unusual it is,
I'd love to see if
it would happen again.
Yeah.
All right, drones are ready.
Let's roll.
Preston, whenever you're ready.
All right.
There they are.
I see them.
- There we go.
- That is cool.
- Yeah, that is cool.
We are hot.
The rocket is armed
and ready to launch.
Copy you.
In three, two, one
Rocket just went, guys.
There goes
Look at them.
One's fall
One's falling! One's falling!
- Holy cow, look at that!
- There goes another one!
They're not coming down.
Are they bringing them down?
Whoa, that one's way Whoa.
Whoa, what's-what's
going on there?
I've lost all of them,
almost all of them
disconnected right now.
It's going crazy. Look at it.
Way out. Look at that.
Just as soon as
the swarm of drones
flew over the triangle,
something interfered
with their controls,
and inexplicably
altered their formation,
which Tyler and the team
from Sky Elements
had never experienced
before. Ever.
This is really something
You can see them moving,
trying to stabilize themselves.
The amount of
variability we saw,
specifically in the front
and middle of that grid,
is not something
we're used to seeing.
We saw almost all
of them disconnect,
which is not something
we've ever seen before.
Look, did you see the lines
suddenly straightened out?
I think they're
moving to the south.
Is that what they're doing?
It's straightened up.
- It's getting better.
30 seconds to landing.
Something over the
triangle clearly caused it,
because as soon as the drones
left that area to land,
they immediately
came back online
and reassembled in their
preprogrammed formation.
We could "what if" all night,
but what we have now is data.
We have data that says
there's something weird there.
- Yeah.
- You know, we've done
so many experiments
trying to just get
a handle on what could
be causing the anomaly.
We've shined
big lasers through it,
we've fired rockets through it,
we've flown around it with lidar
and GPS and all sorts of things,
and every single time
we do something,
we seem to find some effect
on our experimental system.
So, there's no explanation
that really fits unless
it's some magic physics
that we don't understand
that's happening
very localized up there.
For sure.
I'm anxious to fly
similar patterns,
if not exactly the same pattern,
in another interesting
location on the ranch
off to the east,
where we've seen
some very interesting
effects in our surveys.
Let's do it.
- Yeah, let's
After what we saw happen
to the drone swarm at the triangle,
we couldn't wait to move
about a half a mile over
to the east field
to run the experiment again.
Since we've also detected
aerial anomalies there
in the past,
we were hoping to get more clues
about what could be causing
all these crazy
phenomena on the ranch.
Where we're set up right here
is almost exactly
underneath the anomaly
that your photogrammetry showed.
Now when he came out
and did a photogrammetry
scan of this area,
for some reason there were
multiple pictures showing
some type of spire
that went up into the air
several hundred feet.
So there have been
anomalies captured
in two different times here,
a year apart.
One year ago,
using photogrammetry
above the east field,
Pete Kelsey detected
a massive pillar-shaped anomaly.
Just last week,
when Pete scanned the same area
with a lidar device
from Brandon's helicopter,
we were stunned when he detected
something nearly
300 feet in the air,
which matched up perfectly
with the top of the pillar.
I say we get
these things in the air.
Yeah, great.
- Let's get it going.
All right.
Let's hook the ignitor up.
30 seconds to takeoff.
30 seconds, guys!
Ten seconds to lift.
.
Had one go early.
Yeah, I was going to say.
What the
I've never seen that.
What
Inexplicably,
before Preston
launched the drone swarm,
one just took off on its own,
and ascended to
its preprogrammed position.
I've never seen that, GPS is on.
Stay with it.
Remainder of takeoff.
Hey, hey, here we go.
They had one go early, Travis.
I saw that.
It's up there
flying around by itself,
- ain't it?
- Yep.
One of them's acting
Look it flew up to it.
Hey, we got holes.
Yeah, we got How many?
Once the swarm
launched and joined
the one that went rogue,
almost immediately,
several of them went offline
and fell out of formation.
Four, I think there's
four missing. Five.
It made me think it could
be connected to the anomaly
that we've repeatedly
detected there.
So, I wanted to see
if we could stimulate
some hard evidence to prove it.
Rocket's going hot.
Everybody clear the rocket.
Armed.
Ignition in five,
four,
three, two, one.
Rocket's going.
Where's the chute?
There it goes, there we go.
I mean that's a pretty
nice, tight formation right there.
It's a lot tighter than we
were seeing in the other location.
Yeah, yeah, near the triangle.
It wasn't like that.
You can start to see
some wiggle in the middle.
Yeah, right in the middle.
Yeah, look in the middle.
Look in the middle, guys.
The drones are kind of
wiggling around.
There's no wind at all.
All right, as you come this way,
look, the ones in the middle
got stable again.
So, when we were
right over there,
there was some instability.
That's right where you were
at in the helicopter, right?
Yeah, you're exactly right.
The closer
that these drones flew
to this anomaly up in the air,
the more interference
they were experiencing,
the harder time they had
staying in their pattern.
It'll be interesting to see
what kind of data
we get from Erik
and his GPS sensors,
from Pete and his
terrestrial scanner,
as well as the data
from Pete's drone up above.
We got something right there.
Right where, right where?
Right
Right where my light's at.
Yeah, it is.
That's it right there.
Travis.
This just changed direction!
What is it?
There it is,
there it is right there.
There's a thing
hovering over the launch site.
Wow.
Right there.
That's crazy.
It just disappeared.
It went up into the cloud.
They're coming back.
Yeah, they're moving down now.
One of the brightest UAPs
I've ever seen on
the ranch appeared
and moved slowly across the sky
for several seconds,
but then it just vanished.
It was bright.
- It was really bright.
So where did it disappear?
It came from the west
and then it looked like
it was below the cloud.
And it disappeared.
Hey, guys, what do
we have going on?
Y'all didn't happen to see
the thing overhead
just a few minutes ago, did you?
- I actually did, yeah.
- You saw it?
Yeah.
- We saw it, yeah.
We both saw it.
It was really bright,
It was actually really low.
It didn't really add up.
It was like below the clouds.
- I agree.
- Yeah.
And then it looked like
it went into the cloud
and then it never came out
the other side.
And it never came out.
I've got a question for you.
You described something
unusual that happened.
Can you go through that again?
We've never seen it where
we can see that all
the drones are connected,
but we can't communicate with
them in some form or fashion.
What was also very interesting
was on this last flight,
we had one drone
start right before
all the others,
and we've never seen that.
They all go together.
They all have
the same signal.
Well, that one drone
that took off
was actually in the center
of that region
of the drones that
didn't want to connect.
Sky Elements has done shows
all over the country,
we've done hundreds of shows.
I've sent up
thousands of drones,
and there's issues we've seen
this evening that
have been things
we've never seen before.
Every single expert
that we have brought on,
I think the ranch
has a perfect record of them
seeing something they've
never seen before, so
I think this experiment
was one of
the best things we've done
with precision,
with so many data points.
You know how anxious I am
to go pull the data off
that laser scanner.
- Yeah.
Between Erik's
surveillance cameras
and Pete's scanning devices,
I can't wait
to see what comes out
in the data
once it's all processed.
Hopefully, we'll have
more visual evidence
of whatever we saw in the sky,
and be able to identify
just what it was.
Well, guys, I think
this was amazing.
And, we've got a lot
of data to, kind of,
absorb and-and analyze
and think about,
but I appreciate it.
I can't wait for you
to pull the data off,
but I say it's getting late.
Let's call it a night.
Great job, guys.
All right. - Thanks a lot.
Thank you, thanks for having us.
We've got Pete Kelsey
cued up for a video conference.
He's got a huge amount
of data to share with us
from the drone experiments
that we've done out
in the east field
and the triangle.
So, I think we should
just jump right in.
Awesome.
- Love to see it.
Eric and I
spent a couple of days
after the drone experiment
reviewing our surveillance
footage of the UAP.
Hey, Pete.
- Hey, guys.
So we were eager to
compare it to Pete's data
that he collected with
the terrestrial lidar scanner.
I would like to release
the screen to you
and see what you've got.
There we go, east field.
You can see the mesa
here in the background.
What is that? - That's got
to be the rocket right there.
No, no, I'm talking about
right there.
That is way over there.
That rocket never went
That's-that's
That's a mile away.
We were shooting the rocket
down right here, right?
So what on earth is that?
Exactly.
That's my question.
I want to know what in the heck
it is that's
showing up out there
on the very edge of what
that instrument can measure?
That's in the exact same
spot where we saw the UAP come in.
Yeah,
and that dot up there, to me,
seems a little bit
unexplainable,
and is at about
the right altitude
of the of the thing
that we saw in the sky.
We were amazed by the 3D map
of the east field and the mesa
that Pete's terrestrial
lidar scanner
produced during
the drone experiment
because it also appeared
to capture the UAP
we saw off in the distance
after the rocket was launched.
We really wanted to verify
if that's what it was.
All right, so I think
we need to look
at the footage of
the ball in the sky,
and see if it kind of fits
in the same location
as to what this anomaly
is here in the lidar data.
Yeah, let me bring that up.
So, there's the object.
So, tell me how this differs
from what you saw
with your own eyes.
It was a lot brighter
when we were
looking at it in real time.
Very bright.
- Very bright.
And it came down, and
and it, kind of, was going,
I'm going to say really slow.
And then it turned
and went straight up
into the clouds and was gone.
Well, I took a shot of it
with my cell phone,
- right?
- Okay.
And so then, from that,
I did a 3D model of what
the image looked like.
And I have that.
- Okay.
I have what you put together.
Okay.
- I'll bring that up.
So, now, if you notice,
it clearly looks
like it's two halves.
And looking at it,
it looks like it actually
has an indention, doesn't it?
There's some dark spot to it.
From modeling that,
I've put this together.
And, this is kind of my
idea of what it looks like.
There's dark spots on the end,
and it's like a dumbbell,
sort of.
And it's interesting,
it looks a lot like
one of the UFOs
that an F-18 pilot
captured with a cell phone that
they showed at the
House Permanent Select Committee
On Intelligence meeting
back a few months ago.
I was really struck by this UAP
that we saw on the ranch,
because when I was
the chief scientist for
the federal government's
UAP task force
between 2020 and 2022,
I reviewed a photograph
of something very similar
that was taken by
an American naval pilot
off the coast
of Virginia in 2019.
As a scientist,
it was really compelling
to see two possible
examples of a similar,
if not the same,
aerial phenomena.
It's not a focus error,
it's not bokeh effect,
this is actually
what it looked like,
and we saw it with our own eyes.
That's what this
thing looked like.
So you got a sense
that this is nuts and bolts.
I I believe this
might be a nuts and bolts
aircraft, and it was flying.
You know, that UAP
or UFO that we saw the night
of the telescope last year
was the closest, brightest
object that I have seen
in my time here on the ranch
until we saw this one.
Okay, this one was much lower,
I think it was much
brighter and bigger.
And this one looks
just like that one
from the telescope night.
That whole night
was just so strange.
Kaleb and Thomas
were exactly right.
This scope is pretty dead.
I aimed it manually
in the anomaly area,
and then the camera
wasn't working.
Last year,
while we were trying to look
through the triangle anomaly
with high-powered telescopes,
they malfunctioned just
like the drone swarm did.
What the hell
is that in the sky?
And then, suddenly
we saw an eerily
similar UAP maneuver
over the ranch.
There's no red or green
or white lights on it.
It doesn't look like
it's that far away either.
It's going right under Jupiter.
And it's almost
as big as Jupiter.
And it's bright.
That ain't an airplane.
It's getting dim.
It just disappeared.
I've got some data from the
east field exercise to share.
So, we put GPS sensors on
four of the drones
in that swarm.
Obviously not on
all 200 of them.
I can throw it up on the screen
- if that would help.
- Yeah.
So, this is
the sum total of the data
that we got off
all four of those drones.
And you are seeing
all of the maneuvers
that those four individual
drones underwent
during the whole exercise.
You know, I'm looking at
perfectly well-behaved formation
in the east field exercise.
It looks exactly like what
I would have expected to see.
Yep, yep.
Okay,
I think what we ought to do
is go over to the other
part of the exercise
at the triangle.
I can't wait
to get eyes on that.
Okay, so here
Wow.
Whatever that is,
it looks crazy as hell.
'Cause I don't remember it
ever looking like that.
Erik's GPS devices
were on the four corners
of the drone swarm.
So the data should
have appeared just like
it did over the east field.
All intact
and in one large cube.
But instead, it was
scattered all around
into a shape that
looked nothing like
what we saw during
the actual experiment.
So, once again,
something at the triangle
completely distorted
our GPS data.
So there's a
lot to discuss here.
One of the really
puzzling features of this
is what happens when
you look beneath the ground.
Whoa. It looks like some of them
- are inside the mesa.
- Yep.
Look how many of them
are under the surface.
Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- It looks like a tornado.
- Right.
I don't recall any
of the drones doing this.
No.
If I remember right, all these
GPS's were on the corners.
So how's that in the middle?
Turn that up
again sideways, Erik.
So we can see
that tornado-looking shape.
Sure thing. You want to focus on
this feature here?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look right there.
If I was going to draw
a wormhole two-dimensionally,
that's what it looks like.
It's two funnels connected
at the throats of the funnel.
I'm just saying,
something to think about.
What more proof do we need
that there's something
going on out here?
- It's true.
- Obviously,
there is something
above the triangle
that we've identified
with multiple experiments
that absolutely
has its way with the GPS.
This raises a lot of questions.
I don't feel like
I'm nearly done
with this data yet.
No, and I'm not comfortable with
whatever it means yet either.
There's something else
going on here.
Pete's got a bunch of data
that he collected
during the exercise.
So, Pete, what have you got?
Your,
terrestrial scanner
What else do you have here?
All right, guys, what
I'm going to bring up now
is the data from
the terrestrial laser scanner.
After seeing
Erik's bizarre GPS data,
I couldn't wait to see
Pete Kelsey's terrestrial
lidar scanner data
since it created
a 3D map of both
areas where we conducted
the drone experiments.
The hope was that it would
give us some possible clues
as to what caused the phenomena.
So this is the data
from the first slide
we did at the triangle.
You can see the mesa here
in the background.
I'll just cut to the chase.
The one part
that's strange,
is right there.
What is going on there?
Is that a shadow?
If I give you
a straight-down view
So, there's a gap in the data.
Where is the data?
And you can see it all
sitting off to the side there.
It's back here.
I've never seen that before.
How far away is that?
Well beyond the
range of the scanner.
So, I overlaid
the data
here in Google Earth,
and what I thought
was really interesting
is the line,
almost spot-on,
points right at
the top of the mesa.
Wow.
That's hard to believe.
Look at that.
It's pointing right towards
the area where we drilled
into that dome-shaped,
metal object last year.
That's very interesting.
The results of our experiment
two days ago at the triangle
have just gotten
even more bizarre.
According to Pete Kelsey's
computer model
of his lidar scans,
a huge chunk of
the data is showing up
over the mesa,
right where we drilled
into a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metal
object last year.
And not only that,
but a metal object
made of materials that NASA uses
on its own spacecraft.
I guess the question
that remains
is what kind of phenomena
could spoof
your lidar system like that
to make it push the data way off
to make it think
it's further than it is
and remove some of it?
Have you ever seen that before?
No.
I can't explain it.
Why do we keep getting GPS data
that is inside the mesa
and underneath the ground?
This is an area where GPS
has been spoofed
how many different times?
Yeah.
I think we've
about seen everything.
That is a lot of data to digest.
Guys, I got to tell you, this
is some of the best evidence
that we've been able to capture.
And it just goes to show,
we've got more work to do
in both these places.
A hundred percent
agree with that.
I'm really curious
to hear from you two
as to what the next steps
are going to be.
Every time we get these UAPs
on video, we get a few seconds.
What if we had
a high-speed camera
so those few seconds might be
millions of frames
or thousands of frames,
or at least hundreds of frames?
- Yeah.
Through my old
government contacts
with the UAP Task Force,
I'm aware of camera systems
that could photograph
the triangle area
in a much more comprehensive way
to let us get the best look
possible at aerial phenomena.
It just might
eliminate guesswork,
and help us identify
these UAPs or UFOs,
if that's really what they are.
Also, we've got a lot
of work to do
- inside the mesa.
- Right.
I definitely got unfinished
- business out there.
- I agree.
You can't look at
the data we saw tonight
and think that we're
done with that, right?
- Right.
- Yeah.
We just got to
figure out what to do next.
I would like to do some
ground-penetrating radar
to see if we can
get any insights
beneath that area.
- Yeah.
- Absolutely.
Drilling has
helped us to approximate
where this mysterious metal
object in the mesa is buried,
but Erik is right.
Using ground-penetrating radar
will help us better define
this anomaly's dimensions.
Then we can figure out
how to reveal
just what the heck it really is.
I'm excited, I think
we've got more hard data
We've got as much hard data
right now, I think,
as, even when
I was with the UAP task force,
the things we saw.
- Wow.
- I think this is amazing.
I'm ready to wrap it up,
- unless you guys
- Yeah, lets wrap it up.
Great stuff.
- About all I can handle.
Pete, thank you for joining us.
Yeah, my pleasure.
See you later, Pete.
- Take care.
Erik, this is
awesome stuff, man.
This spot on the mesa
is turning out
to be very interesting.
It's compelling evidence
of something unusual.
This is clearly
a spot of interest.
We've got to get
into the mesa somehow
and find out what this is.
We are here
to be led by the data.
We observe, we measure,
and then our course is chosen
based upon the data in hand.
This approach has yielded
some really powerful
insights so far,
some unexpected results,
things I never anticipated.
And this is how
we're going to continue
as we conduct this
investigation on the ranch.
These experiments
continue to give us data,
data helping us understand
the nature of the phenomena.
There is something tied
to both the airspace
above Skinwalker Ranch
and also that
which may lie below.
Our future investigation
will undoubtedly
delve into these topics.
More than ever before.
The deeper we can see
into that mesa,
the more we're going to
understand what it is
we're messing with out here.
Let's hope the GPS works.
This is highly anomalous.
Whatever this is
is as tall as the mesa.
We should be
digging right there.
We got a malfunction.
Everybody watch out.
There's something in
the sky above the rocket.
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
We have a helicopter
right over the triangle.
He's doing surveillance
right now.
