The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s04e14 Episode Script

Living in a Metamaterial World

Senator Lee,
thank you for joining us.
When members of the Senate
discuss things in the sky
that we can't explain,
we need to know what's there. - Absolutely.
We are going to try to stimulate
phenomena above the triangle,
all through the anomalous zone.
Those two hit!
Holy cow, look at that.
From the moment
they launch the rockets,
you can see all of them come up.
We're looking at
something formation flying.
That thing took a major detour.
We are about to
launch the big rocket.
My goodness!
Hey, anybody got the rocket?
You seeing anything?
It's gone.
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.
Is anybody seeing the rocket?
I'm looking.
Where Anybody got the rocket?
Are you seeing anything?
Did anybody
ever see the chute pop?
I didn't hear a pop.
I didn't see anything.
It's gone.
If it was lawn darted,
we'd have probably heard
that thing thud big-time.
Yeah.
During our
last and most ambitious
experiment of the year,
one of the strangest things
we've ever witnessed
on Skinwalker Ranch
just occurred.
You guys, why don't we
go under the tent?
I think the Sky Elements guys
are coming over to join us.
Sounds great.
A high-powered rocket,
capable of reaching a speed
of 800 miles per hour
and an altitude of 10,000 feet
seems to have just vanished
after we launched it
up through the anomalous zone
above the triangle.
Who knows what happened
to that rocket?
Who knows where it went,
I mean it went out of sight
and I never heard it come down.
Nope. - I don't know
what happened to it.
So, we're talking
about 10,000 feet or higher?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
Probably right over 10,000 feet
- at Mach 1.5.
- Okay.
So you broke the sound barrier.
Broke the sound barrier.
That's awesome.
- Wow.
What's most
incredible about this
is that 10,000 feet
above the triangle
is right where
a radar balloon scan
that we conducted
earlier this year
detected a shift in time
of a quarter of a second.
Go for launch.
Off it goes.
We lost
a quarter second of time.
Really? For data like this,
a quarter of a second is huge!
And believe it or not,
that actually offers evidence
of what many scientists,
including Albert Einstein,
have believed
would be a side effect
of a nearby
traversable wormhole.
Could that be what
we really just discovered
high above Skinwalker Ranch?
The rockets were acting way more
erratic than I was expecting.
I mean, corkscrewing
Yeah. - You know,
just something we normally never see.
Yeah. - And then
the fact that you couldn't
launch them all at once,
and all of a sudden you can
launch them all at once.
It-it None of this,
it just doesn't jive.
Well, how you guys doing?
Tell us about,
in the first flight,
it looked like he had about
three or four drones
that seemed to fail.
And then the second one,
there was ten.
- Is that typical?
- No, not at all.
We've never
had them fail that early.
- Really?
- Never.
That's absolutely unheard of.
Wow.
So just think about it,
we have just conducted
the most ambitious,
most complex,
really the largest scale
collection of experiments
- that we've
ever done here so far.
And, you know, as you've
mentioned, we've probably
got about a terabyte
of data to look through.
That's not an exaggeration.
Erik, I can't wait for us
to download that
and play back through it,
frame by frame.
Yeah. I'm anxious to go
collect those trackers.
Retrieve those from the drones,
and then I'm ready
to break it down,
go take a look at the data.
Yeah, I-I think so. I think
it's time for us to pack it up.
Yeah. I'm ready.
All right.
Great work, everybody.
Thank you very much.
After Erik spent several days
reviewing the massive amounts
of data we collected
during our final experiment,
Brandon Fugal asked the team
to meet at his offices
in Salt Lake City for a briefing
and to discuss everything else
we documented this year.
It's great
to be back with everyone,
thank you for coming together.
I, appreciate Governor Herbert
joining us for this
historic briefing.
We were joined not only by
former governor of Utah
Gary Herbert,
but also Jim Royston,
the CEO of OmniTeq
and former executive director
of the International
Space Station Laboratory,
as well as Jay Stratton,
who worked with Robert Bigelow
to investigate the ranch
in the early 2000s and
was a career defense
intelligence senior leader
who was my boss when I took part
in the federal government's
UAP Task Force
between 2019 and 2022.
I think it's important
that we dive
right into the material
and the findings,
from the recent months
of investigation and research,
which has been
more groundbreaking and historic
than ever before.
As principal investigator
since the beginning,
Erik, would you,
mind taking us through
some of the observations?
Yeah, so what I have to show you
are data hot off the presses.
This is something
we've just done,
one of our biggest,
if not the biggest experiment
that we've ever performed
on the ranch.
This was done at the triangle
and involves powerful lasers,
many rockets being launched
and we added the element
of hundreds of drones
being flown at the same time
in formation.
And I have the-the GPS positions
of some of those drones
represented here
in the colors that you see
on the screen here in the model.
So, what you see, um,
are the raw data
from those trackers
and what may
jump out at you immediately
is that there
are some anomalies.
Okay.
Those are the
yellow points that you see
that appear to go
beneath the ground.
Wow!
Whoa. That's insane.
This was only
one of many experiments
where we've seen
GPS trackers above ground
somehow appear to go
deep under the surface.
I think we are right at
about the spot
where we started
to feel the fear.
In fact, earlier this year,
Jay Stratton toured
hot spots with us
where he, himself,
experienced strange phenomena
more than a decade ago.
And the GPS tracker
we had on our vehicle
collected data that went more
than 1,000 feet underground.
I have no idea what
could possibly cause that.
Now, during
this drone experiment,
- we were also collecting thermal imaging.
- Yeah.
We had the FLIR
camera set up looking
at a portion of the mesa
and at a swath of the sky,
and there are in fact some
things that show up
in that footage that really
catch my attention.
Yeah.
I-I do want to share
one of the rocket launches
in the thermal footage.
Okay.
- So here we see the rockets
have launched. - Nice.
This was a simultaneous launch
of a pair of rockets.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So, besides
the rocket launch itself,
you may notice
that there are things showing up
in-in the thermal that we did
not see with our eyes.
So, I'd like to show you this
in a different representation.
Here we have a relief.
It gives it
a three-dimensional quality.
And some of the features
show up a little more clearly
when we look at them this way.
- Whoa.
- Wow, look at that.
Yeah,
you can clearly see the object.
Are you seeing it move across?
I see it.
I mean, you see it
when it appears.
So I'm going to take us back
just a little in the timeline.
That object is clearly there
but it didn't fly in.
It didn't come up
over the horizon,
it just appeared in that spot.
How did it get there?
Explain how it would
appear out of thin air.
We've seen a lot of UAPs
in the skies
above Skinwalker Ranch.
And seeing this one
appear out of nowhere,
on the same night
where a rocket
may have disappeared
around 10,000 feet
above the triangle
just makes me wonder
if they could be related.
Now, that's really
interesting there.
I don't know what that is, Erik.
That's a good catch.
There are some
other things showing up.
Wait till you see the next thing
I've got for you.
There's more?
- Yeah.
Um, in this case,
I have what I classify
as ensembles of targets,
moving as if in formation.
I want you to focus on this part
of the screen here.
- Whoa.
- My gosh.
You see what's happening?
Now look what happens.
My gosh.
It's slowed down and
changing position, that's huge.
W-What was that?
Now there's like
four or five of them.
Did you see that?
I thought it was one object,
they broke apart.
W-What was that?
I thought it was
one object, they broke apart.
There's multiple of them.
I got to see that again.
You got it.
So, there they come up
from the bottom right
of the screen,
you see them right there,
and then as they move in
You say they,
it looks like one object to me.
Wait till you see it.
Yeah, that's one.
That is one object right there.
That's one object
And then right here, watch
right there, there it split.
Right there.
Has it split
or has it just morphed?
I can dive in.
So, here they are.
You can see that there are
discrete objects in this set.
Yeah.
Like a cell dividing.
This is absolutely fascinating.
When we first saw
this UAP split into smaller ones
during our experiment last week,
it was certainly baffling.
But when Erik refined
the footage and zoomed in,
so much more detail was revealed
and it was absolutely shocking.
So, I'm going
to remove that filter.
Here is our raw data, Brandon.
It's on the thermal though.
It's thermal.
- Yeah.
- No, it's a fleet.
- Flying formation.
- They are flying formation.
So, what you are
looking at is something
that is warmer than the ambient.
The first thing I would think
is I am looking
at a flock of birds.
Geese is what I would think of.
- Yes.
- Flying in a V or something.
Yeah. But this is in fact
in the middle of the night.
Regardless of night,
it doesn't follow bird patterns
where they're so tight,
they're in one ball
and then they break off.
Think about it.
Yeah, if-if they are formation flying,
something is communicating
their formation
with each other
or each one of them
is making individual
measurements quickly
so that they don't
fly into each other.
If they're being
controlled from somewhere
then there's a signal
that would be being broadcast
between them
updating their information.
Could these things have been
formation flying
through remote or somehow in
communication with each other?
With Jay's extensive
experience with UAPs,
I'd like your perspective.
You're awfully quiet,
but I see that
Is this the first time
you've seen something like this?
That's why I'm being quiet.
There's something going on here
that's really very strange.
So, I have a similar event
from the same experiment.
- Really?
- Yes.
Another one?
- Another one, very similar to this.
This is from later during
the course of this exercise.
- You're looking at the raw thermographic
footage. - Look at that.
And it just appeared.
It didn't come
up over the horizon,
they were just there.
What's the number count?
Four? Four or five?
I think five or six.
Look, more of them split off.
And how fast are they going
is the question.
The other thing that
I find kind of peculiar
about this is the uniformity
of this motion, it's so smooth.
You know, normally when I see
at least in the near field
when I see birds flying
through my field of view
I see very erratic
type of movement.
You know, I see
the-the movement of the wings
and I also see,
direction changes.
This, this is eerily uniform,
you know, as it moves
through our field of view.
The interesting
thing to me is that
you've got it
at two different times,
looking in the same
field of view,
same direction, didn't change
the camera's, viewpoint.
Which suggests it being a common
spot for whatever this is.
Exactly.
So this all happened
within that same area
of where we saw the UAP
coming out of the mesa
and into the triangle.
Three weeks ago,
we conducted an experiment
at the triangle
by launching rockets
horizontally from the top
of the mesa
and vertically
from the ground as well.
Wow.
- That was cool.
And what a camera
mounted on Brandon's helicopter
captured absolutely
left us stunned.
Well, Erik,
do we have that footage?
Yeah.
So, I want to draw
your attention to this area,
I want you to watch this part
of the sky
very carefully.
Yeah, I see it.
Watch as that object descends.
Now, it disappears.
And it gets
really interesting here.
We continue in the helicopter
towards the east.
On the lower left-hand
portion of the screen
suddenly a light comes
right out of the mesa.
My gosh.
- That's scary.
Okay, I'm going to take us back.
- That's crazy.
- It's stunning.
Wow.
- Yeah, wow.
How many times
have we been told,
from Junior Hicks,
from other folks around,
from the Bigelow-era folks
that, they've seen
things fly
in and out of the mesa?
Well, we actually
have it on camera now
of something flying
in and out of the mesa.
For generations,
the Indigenous Navajo
and Ute nations
near the ranch
have passed down stories
about interdimensional portals,
or wormholes,
allowing UAPs to actually fly
into and out of the mesa.
And now, we've not only seen
this phenomenon for ourselves,
but a number of other UAPs
just appear out of nowhere
and then simply vanish.
So, could the UAP that appeared
out of nowhere last week
and split into smaller objects
that flew in a uniform formation
have possibly emerged
from a wormhole
above Skinwalker Ranch?
Estimating the distance
from where this thing
flew into the ground
and where it came out
of the ground,
and the amount of time
that passes in the video,
suggests that it was doing
about 300 miles per hour
underneath the surface
of the ground,
if this is the same object
then flying through the mesa.
300 miles an hour through dirt.
Who knows what we're seeing.
It's beyond coincidence
that we see phenomena
appearing left and right,
and I'd say
some of the most stunning
UAP phenomena
ever captured on camera,
not just at Skinwalker Ranch,
but anywhere.
I mean, you-you've seen a lot,
Jay, I mean, to see clear as day
a luminous object
literally descend
from the sky quickly,
and then leave the mesa
and pass right below
the helicopter
No, in one place to capture
all this,
with the quality
of-of the, cameras
and etcetera that we have is
I don't know anywhere else.
There's a reason why
U.S. government organizations
like NIDS and AAWSAP
contracted this location
as an observatory,
and it's really,
lived up to that.
- Absolutely.
- So crazy.
Well, within the region
of the triangle,
we have seen
an unprecedented number
of strange events and anomalies.
Recently some
of the most perplexing data
that we've collected
comes from work
that we've done with you, Jim.
Yep. And that is something
to definitely dig into.
Recently, some
of the most perplexing data
that we've collected
comes from
work that we've done
with you, Jim.
A lidar survey, of the area
right there at-at the triangle.
And there are features
showing up in the data
that I just don't understand.
Especially the reflectivity
aspect of the data
that's just really got us
all scratching our heads.
Yeah, so we have I'd say
one of the most
probably advanced small
lidar scanners
that we put on the drone.
It does upwards of 400,000 scans
per second.
For this particular instance,
we said let's scan
as we're going
to launch a rocket.
Yep.
About a month ago,
Jim and his colleagues
from OmniTeq,
which all have
extensive government
intelligence backgrounds,
helped us scan the triangle
with an advanced lidar scanner
while we launched a rocket
up through the anomalous
zone above the triangle.
Three, two, one.
Well,
right at that 31-foot blob level
- We got a good chute.
- Good chute.
the lidar's
infrared lasers detected
the rocket passing
through and displacing
something we couldn't
see with the naked eye.
Look at that.
- That's interesting.
And then when Jim
further processed the data,
it showed a perfectly circular
formation at the triangle
with a black void
right in the center.
- What are we looking at?
- A black hole?
Well, it could be
a shadow of a wormhole.
And that brings us to the data,
which is the most detailed,
scientifically instrumented
experiment
I think that we've done
with high-level
scientific equipment,
and that's the thing
that really excites me
about this
particular measurement.
So, this is one
of the most fascinating,
pieces of data so far
in the nearly four years
that I've been
coming out to the ranch.
And-and so I'm really excited
about what we got from this.
Go on to the next slide, Erik.
So, here's the data.
This is straight from the lidar.
So, look at some
of this area here,
you can see, this is the road
that makes the triangle
and the triangle
looks about like-like this.
Right? Now, as you notice,
there's a-a black spot here.
So black is no data
returned at all.
That is a shadow of something
you would think, but of what?
How can there be
a spot right here
where the drone
is literally right here,
moving back and forth,
making this measurement.
Shining the laser at the ground,
the beam should hit the ground,
bounce off of the dirt
and come right back up
to the drone
and paint just like it painted
the rest of the area.
That should be filled in.
Right.
- So it's really odd what that is.
Erik, you can
go to the next one.
Now, if the lidar is going,
the rocket goes up,
what you should see is one line,
getting painted
of the rocket going up
and that's what
we expected to see.
And so when we go back
and look at the data,
you see multiple paths
that look like you're looking
at the rocket
through a bunch of mirrors
and it creates an arc,
that's kind of going
around this anomaly.
How could that be possible?
What are we seeing?
Something is bending the light,
making it think that there
are multiple rockets
being launched
in different locations.
And I got to thinking,
well, what on earth
could do that?
All right, next slide, Erik.
So, are we seeing a wormhole?
Or a portal?
Now, if it is a portal,
what would that look like?
Well, if you think
about the typical
Einstein-Rosen Bridge, that,
w-what a wormhole is
you have normal space
and there's a hole
literally in that,
that connects us
to another part of space
that moves through elsewhere.
And they're really far apart
but somehow
you connect them through
what looks like
two funnels stuck together
at the throats of each funnel,
and you would travel through it,
making the distance shorter.
So, there's a clear
anomaly in the lidar data.
There's something
strange going on.
- Completely unexplained.
- Absolutely something strange.
Right.
Is it possible
that the strange void
Jim Royston and the OmniTeq team
detected with their lidar
really is an image of a wormhole
above the triangle?
We got a malfunction.
Everybody, watch out.
There's something in the sky
above the rocket, right here.
Could that explain the blob
that destroyed our rocket
earlier this year
about 31 feet in the air?
Go for launch.
That is a heck of payload.
Or the quarter second shift
in time that was recorded
nearly 10,000 feet high
We did have
some clock anomalies.
right where our
rocket disappeared last week.
We lost a quarter second
of time.
My goodness,
a quarter of a second is huge!
Nobody has ever measured any
anomaly like that on the planet.
Exactly.
It came right out of the mesa!
Does it also explain where
the UAPs we see come from?
What the hell was it?
And why they sometimes
vanish into thin air?
Wow. This is stunning.
And finally,
does it prove the traditions
of the Indigenous people
of this area
who have believed
for generations
that there are portals,
or wormholes,
here on Skinwalker Ranch?
The visual representation
of what your scans
have picked up,
it's jaw-dropping.
But then you add on top of that,
the fact that we're seeing UFO
or UAP activity
within this region and airspace.
Yeah.
When you start
adding all of that up,
we're looking
at something that is
game-changing, that will
rewrite history potentially
as-as it relates to our
understanding of the planet,
physics and really
the nature of reality.
That's right.
Well, here's the thing,
we have so much more to cover.
Right.
You know, we've been
talking about everything
that may be above the triangle
and what has been recorded.
The mesa continues
to be a main point
of geographic interest
on this property. - Yep.
Let's talk about
what may be beneath.
Yeah.
The mesa continues to be
a main point of geographic
interest on this property.
Let's talk about
what may be beneath.
- Sure.
- Well, Brandon,
we pulled the metal
out of the mesa last year
and that's really been
the elephant on the ranch.
What is sitting inside the mesa?
You know, w-we had
this dome object
that we hit up against
as we were trying
to drill in last year
and so, obviously
that was at the forefront
of our minds,
especially mine this year.
Yeah.
Aside from the crazy
mystery of the triangle,
the mesa may also be a key to
getting answers about the
phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch.
Boy, that thing sounds
like it's hitting something.
Last year, a drilling operation
scraped along the bottom
of what we believe to be
a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metallic object.
What is that?
It was impossible to penetrate.
What did you think it
was when you first saw it?
I wondered if it was
like metal flakes or something.
That's exactly
the same impression I got.
But we did find
metal fragments in the spoils
such as europium, tellurium,
aluminum and selenium,
which are components of what
are known as metamaterials.
Now, this is interesting,
the color reminds
this individual of elemental
selenium deposits.
Selenium is an optical material
that-that's being used
in military experiments.
- Really?
- Yes.
What makes this
particularly interesting
is that our own government
is currently experimenting
with these kinds of
metamaterials for applications
such as cloaking technology
for aircraft.
I'm really interested
in what you found, Jan.
Absolutely.
- Yeah, I can't wait.
And then this year,
we ran new state-of-the-art
ground-penetrating radar scans
that detected a second,
possibly metallic anomaly
positioned vertically
right behind
the dome-shaped object.
What in the hell
are we looking at here?
It's hitting something
really hard and smooth.
What in the world is that?
This time, we tried
drilling into the top
of the dome-shaped anomaly,
and once again
we couldn't break through it.
But even more perplexing
was that after hours and hours
of grinding away on it,
the drill bit showed no damage,
as if this dome-shaped thing
is surrounded
by some kind
of frictionless force field.
Both times, when you
pulled the drill bit out,
it was in perfect condition.
We thought maybe
the bit was damaged,
but it-it was perfect condition.
Wasn't even dull.
- No sign of wear on it.
- Is this thing inside
the mesa frictionless?
Or have some barrier
on it that's frictionless?
Some special kind of lubricant?
Some kind of super lubricant.
- Yeah.
So, we really don't know
what it is
that's inside the mesa.
We still have to figure out
a way to get in there.
But fortunately, the experiment
we did with Lunasonde,
the whole point of it
was not just to measure
the electric fields and the time
anomalies above the triangle.
They have this technology
that is a brand-new sensor
technology
that should be able to show us
maybe as much as three miles
deep below the ranch.
So, I have Jeremiah
Pate queued up on video call,
and so I'd like to bring him
into this meeting
and have him walk us through
what his findings
have been from that survey that
was performed over the ranch.
Awesome.
I can't wait to see this.
Greetings, Jeremiah.
Thank you for joining.
Yeah, thank you, Brandon,
and hello everyone.
Hey, Jeremiah.
So,
we managed to actually extract
some sub-surface data
from our balloon flight.
Okay. I think we're good.
- Go for launch.
Five weeks ago
Jeremiah Pate
and his team from Lunasonde
performed
a low-frequency radar scan
70,000 feet above the ranch
Fantastic.
which is
actually what detected
possible evidence of a wormhole
some 10,000 feet
above the triangle.
However, the scan
was also designed
to collect data deep inside
the mesa and underground,
which Jeremiah needed a lot more
time to process and analyze.
So, we couldn't wait
to hear those results.
So, I have some slides
I can share.
Um, this is an actual
rudimentary image
of the subsurface,
under the ranch.
Perfect. You've got
a room full of people
who are on the edge
of their seats
waiting to see
what you've discovered.
Absolutely.
So, here's a quick glance
at the actual
subsurface map here.
This image is actually
the underside of part
of the mesa.
Okay.
There were
a number of anomalies.
So, each of these dots
is color-coded
according to depth underground.
And so the purple parts
are much closer
to the surface, so those
tend to be in the range
of around ten meters or so
below surface level.
And the dots that are green
tend to be a bit deeper,
15 to 20 meters.
And then the yellow dots tend
to be a little bit below that.
They seem quite
out of place geologically
would be the best way to put it.
So many anomalies
we saw underground
appear to be voids
beneath the surface.
It does not seem
to be consistent
with the surrounding geology.
These are fairly large targets.
How big would you suspect,
some of these voids are?
So, these voids tend to be
in the, tens of feet,
um, from what we've seen.
Whoa.
And they also seem to be
in a mostly linear form.
Wow.
This is a 2D rendering
as seen from above
what we saw underground
with the same sort
of color-coding.
It definitely seems like
a tunnel type of structure.
It's actually stretching
into the mesa itself.
Wow.
- This really got our attention.
Yeah. - It's very,
very, interesting.
So, these structures right here,
some of these are in
the order of 60 feet wide.
60 feet?
- As big as this room.
Jeremiah, what do you
conclude from this?
If you were to speculate
based on your expertise,
what are we looking at here?
The conclusion this has
all led me to
is some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.
The conclusion
this has all led me to
is some sort of tunnel.
And some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.
Wow. That is,
really interesting.
Yeah.
So, it does seem
like the evidence
is very much in favor of
an artificial explanation
for this.
Yeah, absolutely.
This seems to be almost
tracing out an outline
of a much larger structure
within the mesa,
and indeed,
under the entire ranch.
In other words,
it appears that you have confirmed
that there is indeed
a very sophisticated
underground void or underground
tunnel system in the mesa.
That is correct.
Wow.
- Wow.
Somebody has purposely
built these tunnels.
Yeah.
And for what purpose
would we see
this kind
of extraordinary system
embedded in this mesa?
And the mesa is ancient.
- Right.
- My gosh.
What have we stumbled on?
Yeah.
Is this something
of modern manufacture?
Or is this something ancient
that we are now revealing?
I mean, we've got to take
this to the next level,
and I think your efforts
are really going to help us
advance our research
and find out
what really lies beneath
this very unusual property.
Yes, absolutely. Thank you.
Yeah, it's my firm conviction
that the answers to the ranch
are not on the ranch,
but under it.
Well said.
This was stunning.
Jeremiah, thank you.
Please thank your team
and we look forward
to being in touch
to really escalate this,
and take whatever steps needed
in order to delve
into this even further.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Thanks, Jeremiah.
Amazing.
I was not expecting that.
- No.
Well, as we talk
about next steps,
let's lower the shades
and, and really discuss
what we need to do
moving forward,
in light of this
really revelatory data.
You know, we don't know
how deep the things in the mesa go.
We don't even know how
to get to the things
that are 30 meters away
inside the mesa.
- I still favor the, um
- Less invasive?
The less invasive, exactly.
The surgical approach
to going into those structures.
We obviously don't want
to destroy
the very thing
that we're here to study.
There are a lot
of things that are compelling
that are going to need further
consideration and research.
There's a lot going on.
Yeah. We've seen, you know,
multiple compelling things.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
Even if we get answers
at the triangle
and inside the mesa,
there are several more areas
across the 512 acres
of the property
where truly bizarre things
also occur.
At Homestead Two, we've
documented UAPs, energy spikes
and we've even unearthed
metamaterials in the same area
similar to what we found
in the mesa.
In the east field,
we documented a thermal anomaly
right over a spiral of boulders
that is believed
to have been created
by Indigenous tribal members
centuries ago
in order to depict
an interdimensional portal.
And in the south field,
we've captured footage
of multiple UAPs,
including one in broad daylight.
And also found the mutilated
carcasses of dead animals
that died under
very mysterious circumstances.
Given the size and scale
of the property,
Jim, we're looking forward
to having you
engaged further and invite you
to give us some idea
of what you would recommend.
What are the next steps?
So, it's persistent
data collection.
we really need
to get sensors up.
We need to treat it like
a true operational environment
and then collect data,
you know, 24/7.
We're focusing on the triangle,
we see something
happening there,
but what's happening
down at the petroglyphs
at the same time?
You know,
as we bring these sensors on,
we can see where they are,
how they relate to each other
and then these sensors
will actually
start talking to each other.
So, the sensors,
instead of waiting
for one of us to go,
"Go take a look over there,"
the sensors
will actually share data.
So, as we see a magnetic field
start moving across the ranch,
we'll all be able to look across
and we can visualize,
where did it start from?
Or if we see a UAP,
these sensors
will be smart enough to go,
"I saw something, turn cameras
in this direction."
And then all this data
will go into what we call
our Athena engine,
which is our AI engine,
and what that will do
is start aggregating
all this data in real time
and they'll start
being able to really
make sense out of this.
We've documented
so many kinds of phenomena
over the last four years
on Skinwalker Ranch.
And even though
we are starting to suspect
some truly
incredible possibilities
for what causes them,
Jim Royston
and his colleagues at OmniTeq
believe they can outfit
the entire ranch with sensors
that will use
artificial intelligence
to help give us definitive
answers in the future.
You're familiar, of course, Jim,
with the fact that we have a lot
of separate measurement tools.
But the opportunity
to put those into
an always-online mode
and always bring in
the data and the capacity
to actually deal with
all those data streams,
is something that
we haven't had until just now.
You're bringing
the ability to process, filter,
and taking a lot of that load
off of, frankly, me.
So having
all of that come through
an artificial intelligence
machine-learning system
is going to be
extremely enabling.
So, I imagine that
the rate at which
we are making discoveries
is about to accelerate.
Absolutely.
So, I imagine that
the rate at which
we are making discoveries
is about to accelerate.
- Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's really understanding
the-the operational
environment, right?
Defining that.
- Yeah.
I'm very optimistic
about the collaboration
opportunity with OmniTeq.
This is a group of individuals
with military
intelligence experience.
They have remarkable
technologies at their disposal,
which should help us to discern
any interesting
correlations or patterns
in what is otherwise
a very complex data set
here at the ranch.
So, if we're going to define
an operational environment,
it's got to be
a secure environment.
As part of that security suite,
we will be integrating
seismic sensors.
So, whether you're a rabbit
or you're a mule deer
or you're walking on two legs,
whether you're running,
crawling,
we'll be able to identify it,
where it is and what's going on.
Great.
We are evolving towards
a long-standing vision.
If we do have something
that's modifying space-time
as we've speculated,
we should be able
to see more than one thing
changing in correlation.
Even if it's some exotic
natural phenomenon.
We should be able to
better understand it
by putting that system in place,
putting that network in place
and letting Athena do its job.
Absolutely.
And you know what, frankly,
I'll be curious to see,
no offense
how much the ranch
messes with your
high-tech equipment, because
We've seen a little already.
It almost feels like
if the ranch doesn't want you
to collect something,
you're not going to do it.
I know it sounds crazy.
It goes back to what Travis said
the very first time
he met with us,
"Well, it's just
a place, right?"
Maybe not.
Well, very good.
We're excited
and really appreciate
all that you're bringing
to the ranch.
It's exciting to be part of it,
so I appreciate that.
The data that we're collecting
and the things that I'm seeing,
on steroids from my, first
time stepping on this ranch.
You've got a great team
of good people here.
Everything you've been doing
is data-driven.
The data will drive us
to the conclusion.
So, keep me posted,
I-I want to stay involved
as much as I can.
The-the answers are starting
to come our way.
You know, we often speak of-of,
every investigation
as just raising more questions.
I actually feel like I'm
starting to get some answers.
I truly do believe that what
we are really revealing here
at Skinwalker Ranch is not
just about Skinwalker Ranch,
but it is about
the very nature of our reality.
This is a sobering effort
but it is truly exciting
and thank you all for engaging
and being part
of this incredible journey.
So, we'll proceed
with all resource.
All right, thanks.
Look forward
to moving ahead, gentlemen.
Thanks, Brandon.
Governor, thank you.
- Thank you.
Absolutely.
The things we captured
this year are beyond phenomenal.
I'm super excited and optimistic
that Skinwalker Ranch ultimately
may be the place
where we start unlocking
some of the mysteries
of the world around us.
There are big things
coming for Skinwalker Ranch.
We're just getting started.
What we're witnessing
is classically impossible,
but that's dang fascinating.
This year we have seen
many things
that are very hard
for us to explain.
We don't know
what we've witnessed.
So, I find this tantalizing.
We've heard that the ranch
is an intelligent entity,
that it's home
to a secret underground base
and that it might even be
a gateway to other dimensions.
Well, we've documented
scientific evidence
that supports
each one of these legends.
All I know is that in order
to find the truth,
we have a lot more work to do.
Our investigation
at Skinwalker Ranch
attests to the reality
of not only the phenomena,
but the fact
that we are on to something.
We are dealing
with powerful forces,
unknown forces.
And we are finally
on the precipice
of getting the very answers
that we've been seeking
for years.
