The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s04e04 Episode Script
The Watchers
THOMAS: Hey, we got a light
that's moving.
TRAVIS: Yeah!
Right there!
That's no satellite.
TRAVIS:
It just vanished.
Oh, we got a malfunction.
Everybody watch out.
There's something in the sky
above the rocket right here.
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
We have a helicopter right over
the triangle right now.
It's pretty clear somebody
has taken an interest
in what we're doing.
NARRATOR: 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.
TRAVIS: Well, we got the rockets.
- ERIK: Whoa.
Erik, your payloads are in here.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
- But look at that.
That thing blew up
out of the side.
I've never in my life seen one
of these little motors do that.
I've seen 'em all
blow out the bottom or the top.
Mm-hmm.
- But I've launched thousands
of that particular motor
and never seen that
in my life, never.
After seeing another UAP
during a rocket experiment
at the triangle
last night,
we couldn't wait to review
the high-speed camera footage
that Burdette Anderson recorded.
We had just launched
a rocket up through
the previously-identified
anomalous zone
between 300 and 5,000 feet high.
And right after the rocket
cleared the launch tower,
it appeared to hit something,
and mysteriously exploded.
You've got to see what Burdette
captured on the high-speed.
ERIK: Oh, I can't wait.
- TRAVIS: It is unbelievable.
So, after all the time
we've spent investigating
how the triangle
might be connected
to the weird phenomena that
we've seen on Skinwalker Ranch,
we were really hoping
that Burdette's
high-speed camera system--
which takes 1,000 pictures
per second--
would help us figure out just
what in the heck
destroyed our rocket.
Now, before we go any further,
before you hit the play button,
look at that screen
really closely
and see if you see anything
that shouldn't be there.
One of these things
is not like the others.
ERIK: Well, I'm seeing
something there that I don't see
in the surveillance
camera footage.
Where do you see it?
- Well, high in the screen
towards the center.
- There you go.
Now watch as it moves a little,
uh, more into the video,
what-what that becomes.
ERIK:
Okay.
TRAVIS: Look at that.
- ERIK: Okay.
TRAVIS: It's clearly
becoming illuminated
or something,
and its growing in size,
and it looks like
an object right there.
But the rocket's
not even close to it yet.
Yeah, so there is I mean,
there is some, uh, flare.
TRAVIS: Sure.
- But-- Which is to be expected.
But there's something else going
on, I think. - Yup.
Now watch what happens right here.
- Uh-huh.
As the rocket gets there. Boom!
At exactly the same level
where we first see this thing,
this rocket's exploding, and
Oh, yeah, you can see how
the-the shockwave
has cleared out the-the trail.
TRAVIS:
And you can measure
the distance on this right?
- Yeah, as matter of fact
You know, the field
of view and everything.
Yeah, I did some measuring
on that already, actually.
So, basically, this longer line
on the right was measuring from
the base of where the rocket started.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
BURDETTE: And then. this other
green point up here is where the
about where the explosion took place.
- TRAVIS: Okay.
And how high is that?
- 31 feet.
Didn't the LOC guys tell us
that the flight computer
on the big rocket
last summer went 31 feet?
ERIK:
Wow.
Isn't that what they told us?
- You got to be kidding me.
TRAVIS: Last fall,
a team from LOC Precision
built a custom 15-foot-tall
rocket that exploded
right after launch.
Yeah, uh-oh. That motor blew.
- Oh!
Just like
what happened last night.
And then, moments later, we saw
a UAP ascend high
above the triangle
and vanish into thin air.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Can you replay that?
Could this blob-like thing
that appeared
just 31 feet high be the anomaly
that we've been trying
to pinpoint at the triangle
for the last four years?
If so, then
what the heck could it be?
And how might it be related
to the UAPs we keep seeing?
Could this be a portal, or maybe
even just a force field?
Kaleb, that's a great question.
Uh, we've got to dig through
this data and this video,
and do a lot more analysis
and a lot more thinking.
Who knows what it is? Uh, I'm
I'll give you this.
It's definitely suggestive.
Yes, I'm not ruling it out.
For a thousand years,
there's been stories
about interdimensional portals
on Skinwalker Ranch among
the local indigenous tribes,
and even from when
the federal government worked
with Robert Bigelow
to investigate the property
back in the 1990s
and early 2000s.
All right,
let's turn this thing on.
What is that?
But what really makes me
wonder if it could be true
is that in 2019,
I detected an energy pulse
oscillating the entire spectrum,
from 35 megahertz
to 1.6 gigahertz.
That's an immense amount
of energy
that I just don't understand.
This is the kind of energy
that many scientists have
suggested might be required
to create
or be a product of a wormhole.
So, is Kaleb's question
about portals crazy?
I don't know. Maybe not.
Let's just walk through it.
All right, step through it.
Uh, right here,
you see it flares.
That's the instant
of explosion, apparently.
Mm-hmm.
- Right? What's interesting
Go back one-one step, Burdette.
That flare is gone. There was
a flare right here, right?
Go-go-go one more forward now.
And you see, is that
is that camera flare,
or is that actually light
bouncing off of something
that's in front of it?
ERIK;
Uh-huh.
I noticed something
before the explosion.
A few frames back--
it got my attention--
to the left of that plume.
Okay.
- I'll bet I'll bet if we
if we take it back a bit,
it'll show up.
There! - (indistinct chatter)
- TRAVIS: Oh, I saw it.
That was bright, dude!
I didn't see that light before.
ERIK: Right there.
Okay, back up just a
So you're talking
about this right here?
There it is right there.
- Look at that.
ERIK:
Right there. That.
I noticed that, in one frame,
there's a bright light
just above the mesa.
It's pretty suspicious.
I don't see anything
to account for it directly.
I don't see anything that would
have mechanically interfered
with the launch.
What we have are a lot
of separate pieces
of what seems
to be an incomplete puzzle.
We've got something producing
a bright spot here in the sky
that lasts one millisecond.
This is a very short,
fast event.
Well, you know,
this may be the first time
we've actually got evidence
of there being some
physical something above
the triangle. The object
Whether it's a portal
or a a UFO
or some whatever else.
I don't know,
but it's something.
God, well, this
and the rest of what
we've seen,
taken in the aggregate,
including the UAP,
or possible UAP,
that you guys tracked
directly overhead
And what was up
with that helicopter? You know?
I want to pour over
everything we've got.
Who knows? We may have even
missed additional clues
in what you've given us, so,
we've got our work
cut out for us.
Well, Burdette,
I really appreciate it.
Absolutely. - THOMAS: I
guess, uh, last thing we need
to do is, uh,
report back to Brandon
to tell him about that helicopter.
- Yeah.
TRAVIS:
This will blow his mind.
KALEB: You there?
We are in motion.
TRAVIS:
Copy that, Kaleb. Thank you.
After we told Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch,
about what happened
at the triangle,
and the helicopter,
he said he would look into it
with some of his associates
in the state government,
and then personally come out to
the ranch and report back to us.
So, while waiting for that,
we turned our focus back
to another major spot
of interest
in our current investigations:
the mesa.
If it's possible
- Yeah. Yeah.
I'd like to bring him in
a little further back.
TRAVIS: Last week,
we conducted new
ground-penetrating radar
scans of the mesa,
where, one year ago,
we drilled up against
what the data suggests
could be a buried,
400-foot-long metal object
shaped like a dome, and possibly
even made of materials
similar to those that NASA uses
to build space shuttles.
JAN: We're just going to
have to see what we get.
TRAVIS:
The new scans identified
a number of possibly
metal anomalies,
including a vertical one
behind the dome-shaped object
that's 20 feet wide
and over a 100 feet tall.
So Yeah. - Whatever this
is, it's as tall as the mesa.
So now, we're trying a
different method to figure out
just what could be buried
inside the mesa.
He's going to be moving
this crane over this way.
He'll be driving right up
to about right here.
You can come just
a little bit more if you want.
I've arranged
for a crane to come in
and to lift a lot
of these big rocks
out of the way and hopefully
get some answers
as to what sits
inside that mesa.
Okay, we'll run our outriggers
out, and then we'll take a peek.
ERIK: Sometimes, when we're
making changes to the landscape,
even small changes,
something unusual happens,
often something
that we can measure.
So, we will be stationed nearby
the activity with detectors
of various kinds.
Think that's good.
ERIK: Hopefully, this will yield
some very interesting results
as Thomas makes
the initial changes to the mesa.
These aren't light, are they?
- No.
There? - There you go.
- You're good.
You good?
BRYANT: The fact that
there is a metallic substance
in this mesa
that has the same properties
as space shuttle tiles
for re-entry-- what in the world
are we dealing with
and how did it get here?
Yeah, I want
to get your eyes on this.
I've got a 1.6 on the Omni.
Take a look.
Yeah. Watch this for a second.
Uh, that.
- TRAVIS: What?
ERIK:
It comes and goes.
TRAVIS: But the center is at
1.6, right on it?
Yeah, okay,
so there's a transient.
It-it was silent,
and then it came back. - Wow.
Just as the crane was about
to start removing boulders
from the site where we detected
the anomalous objects,
Erik's main energy detector,
called a spectrum analyzer,
got a reading at the mysterious
1.6 gigahertz radio frequency
that we've seen during a number
of our experiments.
And it's a signal
that I can't rule out
being some kind
of communication.
But if it is, who or what is
trying to communicate with us,
and from where?
That's crazy.
- You see how it's intermittent?
Yeah, yeah.
Something's happening.
- We getting close?
Well, it's not giving me
the option
to pick up
the counterweight right now.
You what?
It won't allow me
to pick it up right now.
THOMAS: You're not operating
the way it usually does?
No, it's-it's giving me
a glitch here.
THOMAS:
Hang on for a sec.
Hey, guys, uh, I would say
that you're not going
to believe this,
but you're probably
going to believe this.
Uh, we're having some issues
up here with the crane.
Uh, we're going to believe it
given what we've seen here.
What kind of issues
are you having, Tom?
So, the electronics in the crane
are not allowing him
to pick up the counterweight.
Uh, he's sitting here
shaking his head.
He can't can't get his head
wrapped around what's going on.
Are you guys seeing
anything down there?
ERIK:
Oh, yeah.
Is this responding to that big
piece of equipment over there?
TRAVIS:
Just as Allen Mortensen
was about to start removing
boulders from the mesa
where we've detected
two massive,
possibly metallic anomalies,
the controls
on his crane froze up.
And at the same time, Erik's
spectrum analyzer picked up
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
that we've detected
during a lot of our experiments,
especially when we started
digging on Skinwalker Ranch.
Hey, Thomas, can you hear me?
THOMAS:
Yeah, go ahead.
TRAVIS: Could you get them
to rotate the arm?
I'll ask him, but, uh, he's
telling me that the crane's
the electronics aren't letting
him do anything right now.
So, now, we are taking
big metal objects
and intimately connecting them
to the ground,
and we're seeing an
electromagnetic signal come out
in the direction
of those big metal objects.
Is the source of that signal
inside the ground?
Maybe what people have been
seeing all this time was,
when you dig, things happen.
- Mm-hmm.
They're touching the source
that's sending out the signal.
BRYANT: We've seen people react
when we've seen it pop up.
TRAVIS:
Yeah, we have.
We've had all sorts of instances
with medical episodes,
and one the one footprint
that's left behind is
that 1.6 gigahertz signal.
TRAVIS:
Dragon was dead right
that there have been
a number of times
that we detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
when we started digging
or drilling on the ranch.
Heck, a few years ago,
Thomas Winterton ended up
in the hospital
with a serious head injury
after building a road
on the mesa.
Could the 1.6 gigahertz signal
be the cause of that injury?
And did it come from whatever
is buried inside the mesa?
That possibility
made us all anxious
to see what would happen
as this operation continued.
THOMAS:
So, what would cause?
Was that just typical,
or is that something
that's not typical?
Um, it's not real typical.
Normally,
this crane works flawless.
THOMAS:
Whoa! What?
ALLEN:
We're good now.
Boy, I'm so curious
to know what happened.
It wouldn't let me get
in the right position
to swing over
and pick the counterweight up.
But I mean, right now,
it's okay.
So, you're good to go now?
- Yeah, we're good to go.
And we'll position
on that first rock
whenever you're ready.
- Okay.
Well, he's got things
squared away now, we think,
so he's going
to go ahead and boom out,
and we'll see if we can
start moving some rock.
Heck, yeah.
(whirring)
Right there. That's good.
THOMAS: Okay.
- ALLEN: Watch out.
THOMAS: Hey, guys,
we got the first rock in the air.
Got her?
Just swinging out.
Let's be ready.
TRAVIS:
Look here.
The 1.6 signal has grown some
with whatever he's doing.
ERIK:
Oh, yeah.
TRAVIS:
So think about this.
If there is some metal,
dome-shaped structure
under the ground
- Mm-hmm.
TRAVIS:and we just put
a big metal rod above it,
we just created a big dish
that we would be seeing
a signal from.
ERIK: What is energizing
the whole system?
Where is the energy source?
Where is the signal coming from?
ALLEN:
Ooh. Easy, easy.
TRAVIS: We've been
looking for this source
of this 1.6 gigahertz
now for three years,
going on four,
and we've never found it.
This might be the closest
experiment we've come to
that is tying us
into that signal
and where it's coming from.
Tom!
TRAVIS:
Oh, they're gone.
How does that happen?
ERIK:
Well, I can verify
that we've got nothing
over here now.
TRAVIS:
That's a little creepy.
We were all baffled
when the 1.6 gigahertz signal
stopped broadcasting.
But then,
we realized it happened
exactly when Allen had stopped
moving the boulders.
It just looked like
more evidence
that the two things
were connected.
We're getting about to the end
of what we can do safely.
You agree?
- Yeah.
The bottom rocks are supporting
the whole hillside,
so any more would cause a slide.
It's a very dangerous area
to work in.
With loose rocks, everything,
you never know what may happen.
THOMAS: Okay, well,
we'll keep that in mind.
Looking at it, I think we can
get an excavator in here.
Clean that up nice,
and we'll have a perfect place
to get the drill into,
and we'll head straight for that
anomaly that we saw on the data.
- Yeah, yeah.
It was disappointing to have
to stop removing the boulders,
but safety is always
the priority.
We're not giving up
on figuring out
what the dome-shaped object
and the vertical anomaly
that we've detected
in the mesa are.
So we've got to bring
a drill rig back out here
and get to the bottom of this.
ALLEN:
Thanks for having us.
TRAVIS:
Good start.
There's an anomaly in there.
We just got to get to it.
BRYANT:
Sean, welcome to the ranch.
Thanks, brother.
Good to be here. - You got it.
TRAVIS: The next day,
Brandon Fugal alerted us
that he and his brother
Cameron were bringing
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes
to the ranch
to hear more
about the mysterious helicopter
that showed up during our last
experiment at the triangle.
So we were all eager
to hear his perspective
and figure out as a group,
what our next investigation
there should be.
We've been anxious to get here.
I understand, with some very
suspicious activity occurring
and some concerns
over our airspace,
it was important to have
Attorney General Sean Reyes
come back and get a briefing
on what is happening
here with our investigation.
Gentlemen, great to be back
with you in person.
I've been monitoring
and keeping tabs with Brandon.
I know you all are
doing great things out here.
TRAVIS:
Well, General, I think, uh,
we have some evidence and some
information to show you guys.
ERIK: Brandon, General
Reyes, you know that
we sometimes see
air traffic over the ranch.
Sometimes we can't identify
the craft using ADS-B
or-or any other, uh,
method available to us.
And we had an event
like that very recently.
So, I'm going to bring up
the All Sky camera.
I'm hoping that the sound will
carry through for this.
(rhythmic whirring)
- (indistinct chatter on video)
CAMERON:
That's
Sounds like Black Hawk to me.
TRAVIS: Really?
- CAMERON: Yeah, I've been around aviation
my whole life, been around
every type of helicopter
and airplane,
military and civilian, and
you can get a lot from the tail
rotor sounds of these aircraft.
That sounds crazy.
It sounds crazy.
BRYANT:
Okay, so, in your opinion,
based off of the sound,
this sounds to you like
a military helicopter?
Sounds to me
like a Black Hawk to me.
I mean, as crazy as it sounds,
it's almost like,
is this a Men in Black
type of a thing?
CAMERON: Tell me
you got ADS-B data on it.
ERIK: No.
- No?
I did not get a signal
from this helicopter.
It is not legal to turn
your ADS-B off like that.
BRYANT:
Unless you're military.
TRAVIS: If that really was
a Black Hawk military helicopter
that flew over the ranch
the other night,
it just makes me wonder,
did they just happen to show up
right after we saw
that mysterious blob
destroy our rocket
over the triangle,
or are we under constant,
secret surveillance out here?
REYES:
We're a sovereign state.
We have our own
constitutional rights,
and, uh, violations
of our state's sovereignty
and our state's rights, we have
to take very, very seriously.
Well, I'm glad to have
the top law enforcement officer
in the state of Utah here,
just to get eyes on it
and-and give your perspective.
- I have a lot of friends
and a lot of assets
in this state,
and I would love to get
to the bottom of this, so
next time we get together,
hopefully
I'll have some information.
BRANDON:
A covert military
helicopter entering the airspace
and then hovering
south of Homestead One,
watching the experiments.
It's no surprise
that it's created some concern
for the attorney general.
Well, as we're teeing up
our next series of experiments
in order to better understand
what the hell is going on here,
I think we're hopefully
going to see some more results.
TRAVIS: So, how do you feel
about using the helicopter
for more experiments
over the triangle area?
CAMERON:
Well, I think we have to.
Uh, we're getting
such compelling data.
I want to
I want to explore further.
Uh, the helicopter is safe,
and I pre-flighted it.
I feel good about it today.
Let's do it.
Well, with that,
are you willing to stick around
and participate
in an experiment with us?
Absolutely. - Great.
Let's, uh let's prepare.
Let's get moving.
Yeah, we got stuff to do. - Get her done.
TRAVIS: While we're figuring
out our next move at the mesa,
having Brandon's helicopter here
gives us the perfect opportunity
to investigate for more evidence
of the blob-shaped thing
we just encountered
only 31 feet above the triangle,
and also to search
the entire anomalous zone
up as high as 5,000 feet
above ground level.
REYES:
What do we got going on, guys?
ERIK: We're going to
probe the triangle
at, or just beneath,
the anomaly,
so we'll be releasing
some projectiles,
and we're going to do
a high-speed camera recording
as those projectiles fall.
These are round,
dense, uh, black balls.
Who knows?
We may see some irregularity
in the in the way
they fall, the timing.
Well, gentlemen, let's proceed.
TRAVIS:
Our plan was to have Cameron fly
Kaleb and Erik
above the triangle,
stopping at various altitudes
between 1,000
and 5,000 feet high in order
to drop small,
weighted balls down
through the anomalous zone
to see if their trajectory
or velocity is affected
in any way by anything
out of the ordinary.
Hey, Burdette.
- Hey, Thomas.
Good to see you again.
- Good to see you, man.
I'm all set up for you guys,
so we're ready to rock.
- Awesome.
TRAVIS: We've dropped objects
through the anomalous zone
above the triangle before,
but this time
high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson was there
to record each drop.
Do we have the camera set up?
- Yeah, we've got
two high-speed cameras
back here. I wanted to show you
the framing to make sure
that we're going
to catch the helicopter drop
and the anomaly properly. - Okay.
TRAVIS: Since he can shoot
1,500 frames per second,
we were hoping
he would be able to capture
the best evidence yet
of what could be the cause
of all the phenomena
we've witnessed
at the triangle
over the last four years.
Before we start, I need to make
sure that my GPS tracker is on.
One of the high priority items
for us is
to collect the data-logged
GPS position information
for the helicopter during
both phases of this experiment.
Okay.
If we have a space-time anomaly
at the triangle,
as we have speculated,
it could well be
that the GPS data
will give us an indication
as to its arrival and departure
during the experiment.
Good.
ERIK: We will be monitoring
any response that we get
from the anomaly using a small
handheld Spectran device,
and we'll be looking
especially, of course,
in that 1.6 gigahertz
frequency range
for what could be a response
to our activity
over the triangle.
(clears throat)
TRAVIS:
Hey, Dragon.
Go ahead, Travis.
They just took off.
Copy.
TRAVIS:
Well, they're off.
BRANDON:
Yeah.
I always feel a sense
of conflict,
having my brother operating
the helicopter
above the ranch, but he
is eager to be a part
of the discovery.
(panting)
(clears throat)
- BRYANT: Cameron, do you copy?
THOMAS:
Right there!
All right, Cameron,
that's the spot.
Be ready.
Okay, Cameron, in five
Two, one. Go.
THOMAS: Holy crap.
- BRYANT: It's coming this way.
There it is. See it?
Right there. There it is. - Yup.
TRAVIS:
Oh, so, there. Look.
Did you see
that he's dropped another one?
They're gonna do five.
I've seen at least three.
Holy crap. (sighs)
Hey, uh, I was just getting some
pretty sharp pains in my head.
Okay. - For now I'm just
going to leave the ranch
for a little while.
- Absolutely. Please.
Just go make sure, and then
let us know how you're feeling
once you get off.
- Yeah.
BRYANT: Thomas, all of a
sudden, turned to me and said,
"I have a headache
and I'm leaving the ranch."
And given his history
on this ranch,
I was 100% on board
with getting him out of here.
That's not all right.
BRYANT: It proved to be
a little bit more difficult
for Cameron to get
his helicopter in place
for this thousand-foot drop.
And then, as Thomas was
sighting up the launch pad
that we have there
to make sure that they were
directly above the triangle,
he started to talk about
having some neck and head pain,
which is very concerning,
and we decided
to get him off the ranch.
Hey, Travis, do you copy?
Hey.
Thomas has started to get a bit
of a tingling pain in his neck.
So he's decided to go ahead
and leave the ranch.
Was Thomas all right?
Understood.
It seems like it's always Thomas
that is targeted.
TRAVIS: Thomas told me
the very first time I met him
that the ranch responds
to people differently.
And as crazy as that sounds,
I believe he's right.
There's something
going on here that seems
to cause physiological effects,
sometimes specifically on him.
So we're going to pay close
attention to how he's doing.
Let me know, uh, when you guys
are ready to make the drops.
We're watching you now.
TRAVIS: After completing
the first set of ball drops
over the triangle
around the 1,000-foot altitude,
Cameron ascended
just above 5,000 feet
so that Kaleb
could drop five more
to see what would happen
to them as they fell
all the way through
the anomalous zone.
TRAVIS: After Erik detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
and Thomas's health episode
during the 1,000-foot drop,
we didn't know what to expect
once Cameron reached
the mile-high zone.
But as soon as he got up there,
the helicopter was
suddenly pushed around
by major gusts of wind.
Yeah, go ahead, Cameron.
Copy that, Cameron.
I think that's the way to go.
We'll start clearing
out of the way.
Are they at 5,000 feet?
Uh
Oh, no, they're at 9,750
above sea level,
puts them about
4,000 feet or so,
uh, above ground level, yeah,
and climbing.
(alarm beeping)
Why-why are they going so fast?
Where are they going?
That-that is weird.
BRYANT:
Hey, Cameron, do you copy?
CAMERON:
Yeah, go ahead.
What are you showing
your altitude at?
Copy that.
I only got four.
You dropped all of them?
BRYANT:
Copy that.
Yeah, he's still headed
off to the west.
Where-where is he going?
BRANDON:
I think something's wrong.
Given the unknown nature
of what we're dealing with
here on Skinwalker Ranch,
security and safety
are very important.
We don't know what it is
that we're interacting with,
so keeping it secure and keeping
the scientific integrity
of what we have going on here
is of utmost importance.
So we need Cameron to get
back down on the ground safely.
ERIK: There are, of course,
inherent dangers in flying in general.
But I would say
that this attempt
to study this area has been
a resounding success.
We have all kinds
of new data coming out.
But I want to see
what was captured.
CAMERON: That was weird.
- ERIK: That was weird.
TRAVIS: Brandon.
- BRANDON: It's good to be back, gentlemen.
It's good to see you.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
- I've been worried about you.
TRAVIS:
Thankfully, Thomas Winterton
felt better
after getting off the ranch.
And we were all very relieved
that he was able to come back
a couple of days
after our experiment.
It was good timing, too,
because we were just about
to review the data
that we had collected
over the triangle
with Brandon
and Attorney General Sean Reyes.
Hello.
It's good to have you with us.
- Good to see you all.
So, we're gonna be,
uh, looking at this,
uh, for some of us,
for the very first time,
and, boy, did we have
some interesting things
coming out of it.
Well, I'm interested
and excited, Erik.
Uh, while you were
flying, Cameron,
you probably remember
that I attached a GPS locator,
uh, a data-logging device
to the helicopter.
That's right.
- Um, and so, I'll share
some data, uh,
that shows the trajectory
of the helicopter during that.
TRAVIS:
Oh, wow.
There's clearly
some issues with this.
ERIK (stammers):
Yes.
They're jumping-- they're
glaring over the triangle.
TRAVIS:
So, my first question
is, I really don't recall
seeing you guys
go way off of the ranch,
like this big top circle
that's there.
ERIK: That's a really
prominent feature in the data.
TRAVIS:
And that's miles.
I know that's not
what we did with the helicopter.
That was my question for you.
- Not at all.
I want to draw some attention
to those vertical movements.
ERIK:
I've actually measured
the vertical distance
from this point here,
to the top of whatever
this maneuver is.
- Mm-hmm.
It's 666.1 feet.
Yeah, no way.
- Did-did you do anything
No, I would have
had to be in the hover,
flying straight up
in a hovering climb
to do that maneuver.
And I wouldn't have done that.
It wouldn't have been
safe or ideal.
We never did anything like that.
- No.
BRANDON:
That is strange.
And that it happened
right above the triangle.
CAMERON:
Geographically,
it does not match up
with what we were flying.
THOMAS:
He's having problems
with his instruments,
and I was feeling
that buzz from that metal tower.
I wonder if that
is the period of time
when you're seeing
the anomaly in the GPS.
TRAVIS:
Thomas's question was spot-on
because at the same time
the helicopter GPS went haywire,
he had his health episode.
And this also happened
right when Erik
started detecting
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
over the triangle.
So, the question was:
could something have caused
all those things
to happen simultaneously?
ERIK:
I'm gonna share some video.
This is a video recording
taken from ground level
right at the triangle, looking
up at the, at the aircraft,
and, um, well,
it's best I just show you.
Yeah? I'm anxious to see.
- Okay, I'll just ask you
if you see the feature about
which I'm speaking. - Okay.
ERIK:
This, as you noticed,
it said, "embossed effect," uh,
on the, uh, on the caption
there, because what's happening
is I'm-I'm applying a filter
to the video.
When you adjust
the contrast like that,
you start to see
unusual features.
The circle is behind?
- Ugh.
ERIK:
This artifact right here.
This feature right here.
TRAVIS:
Oh.
Oh, my God.
- Holy cow.
TRAVIS: And it's following you,
i-it's like
Yeah, there's
something following
SEAN:
Gentlemen, what the heck
is flying around in my state?
CAMERON:
That is probably the
the most significant thing
I've seen
flying next to the helicopter.
TRAVIS: Wow, it was great
that we had high-speed cameras
recording our experiment
over the triangle two days ago
because, at about the same time
that our GPS device
malfunctioned,
Erik detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
and Thomas got
a sudden headache,
we captured a clear-as-day UAP
right next to the helicopter.
This is in broad daylight.
This is a physical UFO
with the reflection
off of one side,
glinting off of it, captured all on video.
- That's right.
Like it's metallic or something.
- Yeah.
That is a solid object
with the same reflective quality
that the helicopter exhibits
right above it.
TRAVIS: Is there any chance
you can zoom in on it?
Um, certainly.
TRAVIS:
On that side.
There we go.
That's what I was wanting
to see right there.
It almost seems like
there's a point here.
TRAVIS: I was just about to say
- You see that?
Kind of like a top?
You know, I actually
- Like a triangle.
Actually, if you think
about the perspective
you're looking at it
if you look at it,
you can kind of see
a hemisphere here
and maybe a hemisphere--
th-this could be
very similar to the orb.
It could be two spheres
with the separation,
'cause it looks like
there might be
a separation right there.
Just two weeks ago,
we captured images
of a UAP at night
during our drone experiment
that looked very similar
to the strange metallic aircraft
that a Navy pilot photographed
off the coast of Virginia
in 2019.
Now, we may have
actually documented
another mysterious craft
in the anomalous zone
above the triangle.
So, what the heck is it,
and where did it come from?
This might be the most
convincing evidence
I've seen, Brandon.
- BRANDON: Yeah.
I'm glad you were there,
Attorney General,
because at least you saw
that there were other
strange things happening
that seem to correspond
with what we've captured here
with this camera.
And this kind of phenomena
being captured on camera,
it is no surprise
that we're seeing military craft
immediately enter the scene
above the ranch.
- Yeah.
SEAN: So, Brandon,
I did some digging around,
reached out to one
of my contacts to check
on the origin and destination
of that Black Hawk.
TRAVIS: Oh, you found out
some more information on that?
I found
this flight path
that you can see on the screen.
So, the Black Hawk took off
from Heber Valley Airport
in Heber City, Utah--
it's what we call
McDonald Airfield--
came around over the ranch,
and then turned around
and made its way
back down
into the Salt Lake area.
And you can see that
in that yellow flight path.
And when we called, Brandon,
and asked what they were
doing or who it was,
they had no comment.
No comment.
- BRANDON: It could be
of a classified nature,
but obviously
they're not sharing
any information.
No information forthcoming.
So it's confirmed,
it was a Black Hawk helicopter?
SEAN:
Yes, sir.
Black Hawk helicopter.
How did they get here
at just the right time
to fly over and-and see
the experiment,
and then hover and-and wait--
I mean, they waited here
five or ten minutes.
SEAN:
Travis,
I-I-- that I cannot explain.
This is absolute evidence
that we're being monitored.
There's no other explanation.
- Yeah.
BRANDON: Attorney
General, thank you so much
for patching in.
You saw it first, with us.
We'll stay in touch, and, uh,
appreciate all of your help
and your interest
in our ongoing investigation.
SEAN:
Mr. Fugal and your team,
thank you. Always professionals.
Thank you.
- All right, thanks.
So, we've got a lot to consider.
Uh, this is some
of the most stunning footage yet
here at the ranch.
So, how do we follow up
on this incredible data?
That really is the question.
BRYANT:
Well, this says,
we need to focus
on the triangle.
Yeah. All right. We just got
to figure out what to do next
and move on.
- BRYANT: All right.
Let's get you out the door
and
Okay. Thank you.
- Good to see you guys.
BRANDON: All right, guys.
- CAMERON: Yeah.
BRANDON:
We have definitely seen
an elevated degree of interest
from covert military units
surveilling the property.
The fact that
they are not transponding,
that they are cloaking
their identity with intent,
and deliberately--
and, I think, aggressively--
monitoring our efforts,
is something
that is both concerning
but it's also validating.
That underscores how important
the research is
at Skinwalker Ranch.
TRAVIS: We don't know what it
is, there's a big anomaly
in the ground-penetrating radar
right there.
Wow.
(metal squealing)
KALEB:
What in the hell is that thing?
BRYANT:
That doesn't look natural
or like it should be there.
TRAVIS:
There we go.
THOMAS:
Uh Oh! There it is.
Hey, I just saw
a purple light over there.
TRAVIS:
With our night vision,
there's something right over
Thomas down there,
in the sky blinking
at about ten degrees up.
that's moving.
TRAVIS: Yeah!
Right there!
That's no satellite.
TRAVIS:
It just vanished.
Oh, we got a malfunction.
Everybody watch out.
There's something in the sky
above the rocket right here.
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
We have a helicopter right over
the triangle right now.
It's pretty clear somebody
has taken an interest
in what we're doing.
NARRATOR: 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.
TRAVIS: Well, we got the rockets.
- ERIK: Whoa.
Erik, your payloads are in here.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
- But look at that.
That thing blew up
out of the side.
I've never in my life seen one
of these little motors do that.
I've seen 'em all
blow out the bottom or the top.
Mm-hmm.
- But I've launched thousands
of that particular motor
and never seen that
in my life, never.
After seeing another UAP
during a rocket experiment
at the triangle
last night,
we couldn't wait to review
the high-speed camera footage
that Burdette Anderson recorded.
We had just launched
a rocket up through
the previously-identified
anomalous zone
between 300 and 5,000 feet high.
And right after the rocket
cleared the launch tower,
it appeared to hit something,
and mysteriously exploded.
You've got to see what Burdette
captured on the high-speed.
ERIK: Oh, I can't wait.
- TRAVIS: It is unbelievable.
So, after all the time
we've spent investigating
how the triangle
might be connected
to the weird phenomena that
we've seen on Skinwalker Ranch,
we were really hoping
that Burdette's
high-speed camera system--
which takes 1,000 pictures
per second--
would help us figure out just
what in the heck
destroyed our rocket.
Now, before we go any further,
before you hit the play button,
look at that screen
really closely
and see if you see anything
that shouldn't be there.
One of these things
is not like the others.
ERIK: Well, I'm seeing
something there that I don't see
in the surveillance
camera footage.
Where do you see it?
- Well, high in the screen
towards the center.
- There you go.
Now watch as it moves a little,
uh, more into the video,
what-what that becomes.
ERIK:
Okay.
TRAVIS: Look at that.
- ERIK: Okay.
TRAVIS: It's clearly
becoming illuminated
or something,
and its growing in size,
and it looks like
an object right there.
But the rocket's
not even close to it yet.
Yeah, so there is I mean,
there is some, uh, flare.
TRAVIS: Sure.
- But-- Which is to be expected.
But there's something else going
on, I think. - Yup.
Now watch what happens right here.
- Uh-huh.
As the rocket gets there. Boom!
At exactly the same level
where we first see this thing,
this rocket's exploding, and
Oh, yeah, you can see how
the-the shockwave
has cleared out the-the trail.
TRAVIS:
And you can measure
the distance on this right?
- Yeah, as matter of fact
You know, the field
of view and everything.
Yeah, I did some measuring
on that already, actually.
So, basically, this longer line
on the right was measuring from
the base of where the rocket started.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
BURDETTE: And then. this other
green point up here is where the
about where the explosion took place.
- TRAVIS: Okay.
And how high is that?
- 31 feet.
Didn't the LOC guys tell us
that the flight computer
on the big rocket
last summer went 31 feet?
ERIK:
Wow.
Isn't that what they told us?
- You got to be kidding me.
TRAVIS: Last fall,
a team from LOC Precision
built a custom 15-foot-tall
rocket that exploded
right after launch.
Yeah, uh-oh. That motor blew.
- Oh!
Just like
what happened last night.
And then, moments later, we saw
a UAP ascend high
above the triangle
and vanish into thin air.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Can you replay that?
Could this blob-like thing
that appeared
just 31 feet high be the anomaly
that we've been trying
to pinpoint at the triangle
for the last four years?
If so, then
what the heck could it be?
And how might it be related
to the UAPs we keep seeing?
Could this be a portal, or maybe
even just a force field?
Kaleb, that's a great question.
Uh, we've got to dig through
this data and this video,
and do a lot more analysis
and a lot more thinking.
Who knows what it is? Uh, I'm
I'll give you this.
It's definitely suggestive.
Yes, I'm not ruling it out.
For a thousand years,
there's been stories
about interdimensional portals
on Skinwalker Ranch among
the local indigenous tribes,
and even from when
the federal government worked
with Robert Bigelow
to investigate the property
back in the 1990s
and early 2000s.
All right,
let's turn this thing on.
What is that?
But what really makes me
wonder if it could be true
is that in 2019,
I detected an energy pulse
oscillating the entire spectrum,
from 35 megahertz
to 1.6 gigahertz.
That's an immense amount
of energy
that I just don't understand.
This is the kind of energy
that many scientists have
suggested might be required
to create
or be a product of a wormhole.
So, is Kaleb's question
about portals crazy?
I don't know. Maybe not.
Let's just walk through it.
All right, step through it.
Uh, right here,
you see it flares.
That's the instant
of explosion, apparently.
Mm-hmm.
- Right? What's interesting
Go back one-one step, Burdette.
That flare is gone. There was
a flare right here, right?
Go-go-go one more forward now.
And you see, is that
is that camera flare,
or is that actually light
bouncing off of something
that's in front of it?
ERIK;
Uh-huh.
I noticed something
before the explosion.
A few frames back--
it got my attention--
to the left of that plume.
Okay.
- I'll bet I'll bet if we
if we take it back a bit,
it'll show up.
There! - (indistinct chatter)
- TRAVIS: Oh, I saw it.
That was bright, dude!
I didn't see that light before.
ERIK: Right there.
Okay, back up just a
So you're talking
about this right here?
There it is right there.
- Look at that.
ERIK:
Right there. That.
I noticed that, in one frame,
there's a bright light
just above the mesa.
It's pretty suspicious.
I don't see anything
to account for it directly.
I don't see anything that would
have mechanically interfered
with the launch.
What we have are a lot
of separate pieces
of what seems
to be an incomplete puzzle.
We've got something producing
a bright spot here in the sky
that lasts one millisecond.
This is a very short,
fast event.
Well, you know,
this may be the first time
we've actually got evidence
of there being some
physical something above
the triangle. The object
Whether it's a portal
or a a UFO
or some whatever else.
I don't know,
but it's something.
God, well, this
and the rest of what
we've seen,
taken in the aggregate,
including the UAP,
or possible UAP,
that you guys tracked
directly overhead
And what was up
with that helicopter? You know?
I want to pour over
everything we've got.
Who knows? We may have even
missed additional clues
in what you've given us, so,
we've got our work
cut out for us.
Well, Burdette,
I really appreciate it.
Absolutely. - THOMAS: I
guess, uh, last thing we need
to do is, uh,
report back to Brandon
to tell him about that helicopter.
- Yeah.
TRAVIS:
This will blow his mind.
KALEB: You there?
We are in motion.
TRAVIS:
Copy that, Kaleb. Thank you.
After we told Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch,
about what happened
at the triangle,
and the helicopter,
he said he would look into it
with some of his associates
in the state government,
and then personally come out to
the ranch and report back to us.
So, while waiting for that,
we turned our focus back
to another major spot
of interest
in our current investigations:
the mesa.
If it's possible
- Yeah. Yeah.
I'd like to bring him in
a little further back.
TRAVIS: Last week,
we conducted new
ground-penetrating radar
scans of the mesa,
where, one year ago,
we drilled up against
what the data suggests
could be a buried,
400-foot-long metal object
shaped like a dome, and possibly
even made of materials
similar to those that NASA uses
to build space shuttles.
JAN: We're just going to
have to see what we get.
TRAVIS:
The new scans identified
a number of possibly
metal anomalies,
including a vertical one
behind the dome-shaped object
that's 20 feet wide
and over a 100 feet tall.
So Yeah. - Whatever this
is, it's as tall as the mesa.
So now, we're trying a
different method to figure out
just what could be buried
inside the mesa.
He's going to be moving
this crane over this way.
He'll be driving right up
to about right here.
You can come just
a little bit more if you want.
I've arranged
for a crane to come in
and to lift a lot
of these big rocks
out of the way and hopefully
get some answers
as to what sits
inside that mesa.
Okay, we'll run our outriggers
out, and then we'll take a peek.
ERIK: Sometimes, when we're
making changes to the landscape,
even small changes,
something unusual happens,
often something
that we can measure.
So, we will be stationed nearby
the activity with detectors
of various kinds.
Think that's good.
ERIK: Hopefully, this will yield
some very interesting results
as Thomas makes
the initial changes to the mesa.
These aren't light, are they?
- No.
There? - There you go.
- You're good.
You good?
BRYANT: The fact that
there is a metallic substance
in this mesa
that has the same properties
as space shuttle tiles
for re-entry-- what in the world
are we dealing with
and how did it get here?
Yeah, I want
to get your eyes on this.
I've got a 1.6 on the Omni.
Take a look.
Yeah. Watch this for a second.
Uh, that.
- TRAVIS: What?
ERIK:
It comes and goes.
TRAVIS: But the center is at
1.6, right on it?
Yeah, okay,
so there's a transient.
It-it was silent,
and then it came back. - Wow.
Just as the crane was about
to start removing boulders
from the site where we detected
the anomalous objects,
Erik's main energy detector,
called a spectrum analyzer,
got a reading at the mysterious
1.6 gigahertz radio frequency
that we've seen during a number
of our experiments.
And it's a signal
that I can't rule out
being some kind
of communication.
But if it is, who or what is
trying to communicate with us,
and from where?
That's crazy.
- You see how it's intermittent?
Yeah, yeah.
Something's happening.
- We getting close?
Well, it's not giving me
the option
to pick up
the counterweight right now.
You what?
It won't allow me
to pick it up right now.
THOMAS: You're not operating
the way it usually does?
No, it's-it's giving me
a glitch here.
THOMAS:
Hang on for a sec.
Hey, guys, uh, I would say
that you're not going
to believe this,
but you're probably
going to believe this.
Uh, we're having some issues
up here with the crane.
Uh, we're going to believe it
given what we've seen here.
What kind of issues
are you having, Tom?
So, the electronics in the crane
are not allowing him
to pick up the counterweight.
Uh, he's sitting here
shaking his head.
He can't can't get his head
wrapped around what's going on.
Are you guys seeing
anything down there?
ERIK:
Oh, yeah.
Is this responding to that big
piece of equipment over there?
TRAVIS:
Just as Allen Mortensen
was about to start removing
boulders from the mesa
where we've detected
two massive,
possibly metallic anomalies,
the controls
on his crane froze up.
And at the same time, Erik's
spectrum analyzer picked up
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
that we've detected
during a lot of our experiments,
especially when we started
digging on Skinwalker Ranch.
Hey, Thomas, can you hear me?
THOMAS:
Yeah, go ahead.
TRAVIS: Could you get them
to rotate the arm?
I'll ask him, but, uh, he's
telling me that the crane's
the electronics aren't letting
him do anything right now.
So, now, we are taking
big metal objects
and intimately connecting them
to the ground,
and we're seeing an
electromagnetic signal come out
in the direction
of those big metal objects.
Is the source of that signal
inside the ground?
Maybe what people have been
seeing all this time was,
when you dig, things happen.
- Mm-hmm.
They're touching the source
that's sending out the signal.
BRYANT: We've seen people react
when we've seen it pop up.
TRAVIS:
Yeah, we have.
We've had all sorts of instances
with medical episodes,
and one the one footprint
that's left behind is
that 1.6 gigahertz signal.
TRAVIS:
Dragon was dead right
that there have been
a number of times
that we detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
when we started digging
or drilling on the ranch.
Heck, a few years ago,
Thomas Winterton ended up
in the hospital
with a serious head injury
after building a road
on the mesa.
Could the 1.6 gigahertz signal
be the cause of that injury?
And did it come from whatever
is buried inside the mesa?
That possibility
made us all anxious
to see what would happen
as this operation continued.
THOMAS:
So, what would cause?
Was that just typical,
or is that something
that's not typical?
Um, it's not real typical.
Normally,
this crane works flawless.
THOMAS:
Whoa! What?
ALLEN:
We're good now.
Boy, I'm so curious
to know what happened.
It wouldn't let me get
in the right position
to swing over
and pick the counterweight up.
But I mean, right now,
it's okay.
So, you're good to go now?
- Yeah, we're good to go.
And we'll position
on that first rock
whenever you're ready.
- Okay.
Well, he's got things
squared away now, we think,
so he's going
to go ahead and boom out,
and we'll see if we can
start moving some rock.
Heck, yeah.
(whirring)
Right there. That's good.
THOMAS: Okay.
- ALLEN: Watch out.
THOMAS: Hey, guys,
we got the first rock in the air.
Got her?
Just swinging out.
Let's be ready.
TRAVIS:
Look here.
The 1.6 signal has grown some
with whatever he's doing.
ERIK:
Oh, yeah.
TRAVIS:
So think about this.
If there is some metal,
dome-shaped structure
under the ground
- Mm-hmm.
TRAVIS:and we just put
a big metal rod above it,
we just created a big dish
that we would be seeing
a signal from.
ERIK: What is energizing
the whole system?
Where is the energy source?
Where is the signal coming from?
ALLEN:
Ooh. Easy, easy.
TRAVIS: We've been
looking for this source
of this 1.6 gigahertz
now for three years,
going on four,
and we've never found it.
This might be the closest
experiment we've come to
that is tying us
into that signal
and where it's coming from.
Tom!
TRAVIS:
Oh, they're gone.
How does that happen?
ERIK:
Well, I can verify
that we've got nothing
over here now.
TRAVIS:
That's a little creepy.
We were all baffled
when the 1.6 gigahertz signal
stopped broadcasting.
But then,
we realized it happened
exactly when Allen had stopped
moving the boulders.
It just looked like
more evidence
that the two things
were connected.
We're getting about to the end
of what we can do safely.
You agree?
- Yeah.
The bottom rocks are supporting
the whole hillside,
so any more would cause a slide.
It's a very dangerous area
to work in.
With loose rocks, everything,
you never know what may happen.
THOMAS: Okay, well,
we'll keep that in mind.
Looking at it, I think we can
get an excavator in here.
Clean that up nice,
and we'll have a perfect place
to get the drill into,
and we'll head straight for that
anomaly that we saw on the data.
- Yeah, yeah.
It was disappointing to have
to stop removing the boulders,
but safety is always
the priority.
We're not giving up
on figuring out
what the dome-shaped object
and the vertical anomaly
that we've detected
in the mesa are.
So we've got to bring
a drill rig back out here
and get to the bottom of this.
ALLEN:
Thanks for having us.
TRAVIS:
Good start.
There's an anomaly in there.
We just got to get to it.
BRYANT:
Sean, welcome to the ranch.
Thanks, brother.
Good to be here. - You got it.
TRAVIS: The next day,
Brandon Fugal alerted us
that he and his brother
Cameron were bringing
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes
to the ranch
to hear more
about the mysterious helicopter
that showed up during our last
experiment at the triangle.
So we were all eager
to hear his perspective
and figure out as a group,
what our next investigation
there should be.
We've been anxious to get here.
I understand, with some very
suspicious activity occurring
and some concerns
over our airspace,
it was important to have
Attorney General Sean Reyes
come back and get a briefing
on what is happening
here with our investigation.
Gentlemen, great to be back
with you in person.
I've been monitoring
and keeping tabs with Brandon.
I know you all are
doing great things out here.
TRAVIS:
Well, General, I think, uh,
we have some evidence and some
information to show you guys.
ERIK: Brandon, General
Reyes, you know that
we sometimes see
air traffic over the ranch.
Sometimes we can't identify
the craft using ADS-B
or-or any other, uh,
method available to us.
And we had an event
like that very recently.
So, I'm going to bring up
the All Sky camera.
I'm hoping that the sound will
carry through for this.
(rhythmic whirring)
- (indistinct chatter on video)
CAMERON:
That's
Sounds like Black Hawk to me.
TRAVIS: Really?
- CAMERON: Yeah, I've been around aviation
my whole life, been around
every type of helicopter
and airplane,
military and civilian, and
you can get a lot from the tail
rotor sounds of these aircraft.
That sounds crazy.
It sounds crazy.
BRYANT:
Okay, so, in your opinion,
based off of the sound,
this sounds to you like
a military helicopter?
Sounds to me
like a Black Hawk to me.
I mean, as crazy as it sounds,
it's almost like,
is this a Men in Black
type of a thing?
CAMERON: Tell me
you got ADS-B data on it.
ERIK: No.
- No?
I did not get a signal
from this helicopter.
It is not legal to turn
your ADS-B off like that.
BRYANT:
Unless you're military.
TRAVIS: If that really was
a Black Hawk military helicopter
that flew over the ranch
the other night,
it just makes me wonder,
did they just happen to show up
right after we saw
that mysterious blob
destroy our rocket
over the triangle,
or are we under constant,
secret surveillance out here?
REYES:
We're a sovereign state.
We have our own
constitutional rights,
and, uh, violations
of our state's sovereignty
and our state's rights, we have
to take very, very seriously.
Well, I'm glad to have
the top law enforcement officer
in the state of Utah here,
just to get eyes on it
and-and give your perspective.
- I have a lot of friends
and a lot of assets
in this state,
and I would love to get
to the bottom of this, so
next time we get together,
hopefully
I'll have some information.
BRANDON:
A covert military
helicopter entering the airspace
and then hovering
south of Homestead One,
watching the experiments.
It's no surprise
that it's created some concern
for the attorney general.
Well, as we're teeing up
our next series of experiments
in order to better understand
what the hell is going on here,
I think we're hopefully
going to see some more results.
TRAVIS: So, how do you feel
about using the helicopter
for more experiments
over the triangle area?
CAMERON:
Well, I think we have to.
Uh, we're getting
such compelling data.
I want to
I want to explore further.
Uh, the helicopter is safe,
and I pre-flighted it.
I feel good about it today.
Let's do it.
Well, with that,
are you willing to stick around
and participate
in an experiment with us?
Absolutely. - Great.
Let's, uh let's prepare.
Let's get moving.
Yeah, we got stuff to do. - Get her done.
TRAVIS: While we're figuring
out our next move at the mesa,
having Brandon's helicopter here
gives us the perfect opportunity
to investigate for more evidence
of the blob-shaped thing
we just encountered
only 31 feet above the triangle,
and also to search
the entire anomalous zone
up as high as 5,000 feet
above ground level.
REYES:
What do we got going on, guys?
ERIK: We're going to
probe the triangle
at, or just beneath,
the anomaly,
so we'll be releasing
some projectiles,
and we're going to do
a high-speed camera recording
as those projectiles fall.
These are round,
dense, uh, black balls.
Who knows?
We may see some irregularity
in the in the way
they fall, the timing.
Well, gentlemen, let's proceed.
TRAVIS:
Our plan was to have Cameron fly
Kaleb and Erik
above the triangle,
stopping at various altitudes
between 1,000
and 5,000 feet high in order
to drop small,
weighted balls down
through the anomalous zone
to see if their trajectory
or velocity is affected
in any way by anything
out of the ordinary.
Hey, Burdette.
- Hey, Thomas.
Good to see you again.
- Good to see you, man.
I'm all set up for you guys,
so we're ready to rock.
- Awesome.
TRAVIS: We've dropped objects
through the anomalous zone
above the triangle before,
but this time
high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson was there
to record each drop.
Do we have the camera set up?
- Yeah, we've got
two high-speed cameras
back here. I wanted to show you
the framing to make sure
that we're going
to catch the helicopter drop
and the anomaly properly. - Okay.
TRAVIS: Since he can shoot
1,500 frames per second,
we were hoping
he would be able to capture
the best evidence yet
of what could be the cause
of all the phenomena
we've witnessed
at the triangle
over the last four years.
Before we start, I need to make
sure that my GPS tracker is on.
One of the high priority items
for us is
to collect the data-logged
GPS position information
for the helicopter during
both phases of this experiment.
Okay.
If we have a space-time anomaly
at the triangle,
as we have speculated,
it could well be
that the GPS data
will give us an indication
as to its arrival and departure
during the experiment.
Good.
ERIK: We will be monitoring
any response that we get
from the anomaly using a small
handheld Spectran device,
and we'll be looking
especially, of course,
in that 1.6 gigahertz
frequency range
for what could be a response
to our activity
over the triangle.
(clears throat)
TRAVIS:
Hey, Dragon.
Go ahead, Travis.
They just took off.
Copy.
TRAVIS:
Well, they're off.
BRANDON:
Yeah.
I always feel a sense
of conflict,
having my brother operating
the helicopter
above the ranch, but he
is eager to be a part
of the discovery.
(panting)
(clears throat)
- BRYANT: Cameron, do you copy?
THOMAS:
Right there!
All right, Cameron,
that's the spot.
Be ready.
Okay, Cameron, in five
Two, one. Go.
THOMAS: Holy crap.
- BRYANT: It's coming this way.
There it is. See it?
Right there. There it is. - Yup.
TRAVIS:
Oh, so, there. Look.
Did you see
that he's dropped another one?
They're gonna do five.
I've seen at least three.
Holy crap. (sighs)
Hey, uh, I was just getting some
pretty sharp pains in my head.
Okay. - For now I'm just
going to leave the ranch
for a little while.
- Absolutely. Please.
Just go make sure, and then
let us know how you're feeling
once you get off.
- Yeah.
BRYANT: Thomas, all of a
sudden, turned to me and said,
"I have a headache
and I'm leaving the ranch."
And given his history
on this ranch,
I was 100% on board
with getting him out of here.
That's not all right.
BRYANT: It proved to be
a little bit more difficult
for Cameron to get
his helicopter in place
for this thousand-foot drop.
And then, as Thomas was
sighting up the launch pad
that we have there
to make sure that they were
directly above the triangle,
he started to talk about
having some neck and head pain,
which is very concerning,
and we decided
to get him off the ranch.
Hey, Travis, do you copy?
Hey.
Thomas has started to get a bit
of a tingling pain in his neck.
So he's decided to go ahead
and leave the ranch.
Was Thomas all right?
Understood.
It seems like it's always Thomas
that is targeted.
TRAVIS: Thomas told me
the very first time I met him
that the ranch responds
to people differently.
And as crazy as that sounds,
I believe he's right.
There's something
going on here that seems
to cause physiological effects,
sometimes specifically on him.
So we're going to pay close
attention to how he's doing.
Let me know, uh, when you guys
are ready to make the drops.
We're watching you now.
TRAVIS: After completing
the first set of ball drops
over the triangle
around the 1,000-foot altitude,
Cameron ascended
just above 5,000 feet
so that Kaleb
could drop five more
to see what would happen
to them as they fell
all the way through
the anomalous zone.
TRAVIS: After Erik detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
and Thomas's health episode
during the 1,000-foot drop,
we didn't know what to expect
once Cameron reached
the mile-high zone.
But as soon as he got up there,
the helicopter was
suddenly pushed around
by major gusts of wind.
Yeah, go ahead, Cameron.
Copy that, Cameron.
I think that's the way to go.
We'll start clearing
out of the way.
Are they at 5,000 feet?
Uh
Oh, no, they're at 9,750
above sea level,
puts them about
4,000 feet or so,
uh, above ground level, yeah,
and climbing.
(alarm beeping)
Why-why are they going so fast?
Where are they going?
That-that is weird.
BRYANT:
Hey, Cameron, do you copy?
CAMERON:
Yeah, go ahead.
What are you showing
your altitude at?
Copy that.
I only got four.
You dropped all of them?
BRYANT:
Copy that.
Yeah, he's still headed
off to the west.
Where-where is he going?
BRANDON:
I think something's wrong.
Given the unknown nature
of what we're dealing with
here on Skinwalker Ranch,
security and safety
are very important.
We don't know what it is
that we're interacting with,
so keeping it secure and keeping
the scientific integrity
of what we have going on here
is of utmost importance.
So we need Cameron to get
back down on the ground safely.
ERIK: There are, of course,
inherent dangers in flying in general.
But I would say
that this attempt
to study this area has been
a resounding success.
We have all kinds
of new data coming out.
But I want to see
what was captured.
CAMERON: That was weird.
- ERIK: That was weird.
TRAVIS: Brandon.
- BRANDON: It's good to be back, gentlemen.
It's good to see you.
- Hey.
Good to see you.
- I've been worried about you.
TRAVIS:
Thankfully, Thomas Winterton
felt better
after getting off the ranch.
And we were all very relieved
that he was able to come back
a couple of days
after our experiment.
It was good timing, too,
because we were just about
to review the data
that we had collected
over the triangle
with Brandon
and Attorney General Sean Reyes.
Hello.
It's good to have you with us.
- Good to see you all.
So, we're gonna be,
uh, looking at this,
uh, for some of us,
for the very first time,
and, boy, did we have
some interesting things
coming out of it.
Well, I'm interested
and excited, Erik.
Uh, while you were
flying, Cameron,
you probably remember
that I attached a GPS locator,
uh, a data-logging device
to the helicopter.
That's right.
- Um, and so, I'll share
some data, uh,
that shows the trajectory
of the helicopter during that.
TRAVIS:
Oh, wow.
There's clearly
some issues with this.
ERIK (stammers):
Yes.
They're jumping-- they're
glaring over the triangle.
TRAVIS:
So, my first question
is, I really don't recall
seeing you guys
go way off of the ranch,
like this big top circle
that's there.
ERIK: That's a really
prominent feature in the data.
TRAVIS:
And that's miles.
I know that's not
what we did with the helicopter.
That was my question for you.
- Not at all.
I want to draw some attention
to those vertical movements.
ERIK:
I've actually measured
the vertical distance
from this point here,
to the top of whatever
this maneuver is.
- Mm-hmm.
It's 666.1 feet.
Yeah, no way.
- Did-did you do anything
No, I would have
had to be in the hover,
flying straight up
in a hovering climb
to do that maneuver.
And I wouldn't have done that.
It wouldn't have been
safe or ideal.
We never did anything like that.
- No.
BRANDON:
That is strange.
And that it happened
right above the triangle.
CAMERON:
Geographically,
it does not match up
with what we were flying.
THOMAS:
He's having problems
with his instruments,
and I was feeling
that buzz from that metal tower.
I wonder if that
is the period of time
when you're seeing
the anomaly in the GPS.
TRAVIS:
Thomas's question was spot-on
because at the same time
the helicopter GPS went haywire,
he had his health episode.
And this also happened
right when Erik
started detecting
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
over the triangle.
So, the question was:
could something have caused
all those things
to happen simultaneously?
ERIK:
I'm gonna share some video.
This is a video recording
taken from ground level
right at the triangle, looking
up at the, at the aircraft,
and, um, well,
it's best I just show you.
Yeah? I'm anxious to see.
- Okay, I'll just ask you
if you see the feature about
which I'm speaking. - Okay.
ERIK:
This, as you noticed,
it said, "embossed effect," uh,
on the, uh, on the caption
there, because what's happening
is I'm-I'm applying a filter
to the video.
When you adjust
the contrast like that,
you start to see
unusual features.
The circle is behind?
- Ugh.
ERIK:
This artifact right here.
This feature right here.
TRAVIS:
Oh.
Oh, my God.
- Holy cow.
TRAVIS: And it's following you,
i-it's like
Yeah, there's
something following
SEAN:
Gentlemen, what the heck
is flying around in my state?
CAMERON:
That is probably the
the most significant thing
I've seen
flying next to the helicopter.
TRAVIS: Wow, it was great
that we had high-speed cameras
recording our experiment
over the triangle two days ago
because, at about the same time
that our GPS device
malfunctioned,
Erik detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
and Thomas got
a sudden headache,
we captured a clear-as-day UAP
right next to the helicopter.
This is in broad daylight.
This is a physical UFO
with the reflection
off of one side,
glinting off of it, captured all on video.
- That's right.
Like it's metallic or something.
- Yeah.
That is a solid object
with the same reflective quality
that the helicopter exhibits
right above it.
TRAVIS: Is there any chance
you can zoom in on it?
Um, certainly.
TRAVIS:
On that side.
There we go.
That's what I was wanting
to see right there.
It almost seems like
there's a point here.
TRAVIS: I was just about to say
- You see that?
Kind of like a top?
You know, I actually
- Like a triangle.
Actually, if you think
about the perspective
you're looking at it
if you look at it,
you can kind of see
a hemisphere here
and maybe a hemisphere--
th-this could be
very similar to the orb.
It could be two spheres
with the separation,
'cause it looks like
there might be
a separation right there.
Just two weeks ago,
we captured images
of a UAP at night
during our drone experiment
that looked very similar
to the strange metallic aircraft
that a Navy pilot photographed
off the coast of Virginia
in 2019.
Now, we may have
actually documented
another mysterious craft
in the anomalous zone
above the triangle.
So, what the heck is it,
and where did it come from?
This might be the most
convincing evidence
I've seen, Brandon.
- BRANDON: Yeah.
I'm glad you were there,
Attorney General,
because at least you saw
that there were other
strange things happening
that seem to correspond
with what we've captured here
with this camera.
And this kind of phenomena
being captured on camera,
it is no surprise
that we're seeing military craft
immediately enter the scene
above the ranch.
- Yeah.
SEAN: So, Brandon,
I did some digging around,
reached out to one
of my contacts to check
on the origin and destination
of that Black Hawk.
TRAVIS: Oh, you found out
some more information on that?
I found
this flight path
that you can see on the screen.
So, the Black Hawk took off
from Heber Valley Airport
in Heber City, Utah--
it's what we call
McDonald Airfield--
came around over the ranch,
and then turned around
and made its way
back down
into the Salt Lake area.
And you can see that
in that yellow flight path.
And when we called, Brandon,
and asked what they were
doing or who it was,
they had no comment.
No comment.
- BRANDON: It could be
of a classified nature,
but obviously
they're not sharing
any information.
No information forthcoming.
So it's confirmed,
it was a Black Hawk helicopter?
SEAN:
Yes, sir.
Black Hawk helicopter.
How did they get here
at just the right time
to fly over and-and see
the experiment,
and then hover and-and wait--
I mean, they waited here
five or ten minutes.
SEAN:
Travis,
I-I-- that I cannot explain.
This is absolute evidence
that we're being monitored.
There's no other explanation.
- Yeah.
BRANDON: Attorney
General, thank you so much
for patching in.
You saw it first, with us.
We'll stay in touch, and, uh,
appreciate all of your help
and your interest
in our ongoing investigation.
SEAN:
Mr. Fugal and your team,
thank you. Always professionals.
Thank you.
- All right, thanks.
So, we've got a lot to consider.
Uh, this is some
of the most stunning footage yet
here at the ranch.
So, how do we follow up
on this incredible data?
That really is the question.
BRYANT:
Well, this says,
we need to focus
on the triangle.
Yeah. All right. We just got
to figure out what to do next
and move on.
- BRYANT: All right.
Let's get you out the door
and
Okay. Thank you.
- Good to see you guys.
BRANDON: All right, guys.
- CAMERON: Yeah.
BRANDON:
We have definitely seen
an elevated degree of interest
from covert military units
surveilling the property.
The fact that
they are not transponding,
that they are cloaking
their identity with intent,
and deliberately--
and, I think, aggressively--
monitoring our efforts,
is something
that is both concerning
but it's also validating.
That underscores how important
the research is
at Skinwalker Ranch.
TRAVIS: We don't know what it
is, there's a big anomaly
in the ground-penetrating radar
right there.
Wow.
(metal squealing)
KALEB:
What in the hell is that thing?
BRYANT:
That doesn't look natural
or like it should be there.
TRAVIS:
There we go.
THOMAS:
Uh Oh! There it is.
Hey, I just saw
a purple light over there.
TRAVIS:
With our night vision,
there's something right over
Thomas down there,
in the sky blinking
at about ten degrees up.
