The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s04e15 Episode Script
Looking Back and Far Beyond
TRAVIS:
Today, the UFO phenomenon
is a regular fixture
of mainstream media reports
and has gripped the attention
of the general public
more than ever.
In fact, it's now
common knowledge
that the federal government
has recently funded
secretive programs to
investigate the subject,
and whistleblowers
are starting to come forward,
declaring that our
intelligence agencies
know much more than
they are willing to reveal.
My name is Dr. Travis Taylor,
and I was not only
the chief scientist
on the federal government's
UAP task force
from 2019 to 2022,
but I'm also part of
a civilian investigation
There's something
right over Thomas down there
in the sky, blinking
at about ten degrees up.
at a 512-acre
property in Utah
that's been a UAP
hot spot for decades,
if not centuries.
There is something
in the mesa, right there.
A place known
as Skinwalker Ranch.
Tonight, we're looking back
on a number of shocking events
and discoveries we made there
just in the past year
that may finally help
reveal the truth behind
the UAP phenomenon.
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.
BRANDON: Let's proceed.
We've got a
a big day ahead of us.
And an exciting time to kick off
this phase of the investigation.
TRAVIS: When Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch,
and his principle
investigator Erik Bard
led the effort to reignite
our team's investigation
into all the bizarre
phenomena this year,
we all agreed that ground zero
should be a location
known as the triangle.
This spot near
the middle of the ranch
has been a major hotbed for
what we call "high strangeness."
MAN: We've got liftoff.
TRAVIS: Oh, my God.
During launch,
the electromagnetic spectrum
is going crazy, guys.
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's here that we've not only
detected GPS anomalies,
as well as
a mysterious radio signal
measured at a frequency of 1.6
gigahertz from the ground level
up to nearly a mile high,
it's also where we've seen
a number of UAPs
TRAVIS: Did you see that?
- BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
some of which
vanished into thin air.
This thing's
really clipping along.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Here we go. Hang on, Pete.
So, for our first
experiment this year,
in the hopes of identifying
just what causes
all these phenomena,
Cameron Fugal flew me
and technologist Pete Kelsey
up above the triangle
so that Pete could
scan that anomalous zone
with a handheld lidar device.
I mean, we're at
the triangle right now,
so if you want to, bring it up.
- PETE: All right, so
give me about ten seconds
and we'll be scanning.
TRAVIS: Holy cow. There's something
right outside the aircraft.
You're kidding.
- TRAVIS: No, I am not kidding.
You were at 300 feet and were
detecting an object in the air.
PETE: What?
You've got to be kidding me.
But right as we reached
an altitude of 300 feet,
the infrared lasers
of the lidar scanner
began tracing something
that was totally invisible
to the naked eye.
About 300 feet
above ground level,
you can see the green
is the ground
and the red is the thing.
PETE: This is unbelievable.
- Unbelievable.
They're climbing.
TRAVIS: We were stunned
when the lidar scanner
detected something strange
just 300 feet in the air.
So we were really anxious
to see what we would find
up in the mile-high zone.
Holy cow.
- PETE: What, what, what?
Look at that.
See it?
- Yes.
TRAVIS: We've got an
anomaly, a clear anomaly
right beside us.
BRYANT:
We've had eyes on it
with three sets of binoculars,
and we've seen nothing.
Tell them to launch.
TRAVIS: In order to see
if we could stimulate
these anomalies to appear,
we launched a rocket.
Three, two, one!
There it goes.
TRAVIS: What?
TRAVIS: Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
PETE: There you go.
TRAVIS: I got you,
I got you, I got you.
TRAVIS: We're not sure if
the rocket stimulated it,
but right after the launch,
the helicopter was
suddenly hit by what felt like
high winds, even though
the helicopter's gauges
showed that any natural gusts
would be coming from
a totally different direction.
I think it's time to abort.
TRAVIS:
After what we felt up there
and saw on the lidar,
we wanted to get
another set of data
to confirm the findings.
Here we go.
TRAVIS:
So, high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson joined us
for a new rocket experiment
at the triangle, snapping
1,000 frames per second
in the hopes of
giving us a glimpse
of anything strange up there.
TRAVIS (over radio): Great,
we got the next one on the pad
Five, four,
three, two, one.
KALEB:
That is cool.
TRAVIS:
Oh, that was awesome.
Well, that went up pretty high.
KALEB: Hey, we got a light
that's right there that's moving.
TRAVIS: Yeah, we got it!
There it is, right there!
Now, this one's
moving pretty fast.
What is that?
KALEB:
That's not a plane.
TRAVIS:
After launching two rockets
up through the triangle, a UAP
suddenly appeared in the sky.
Does it look like
it just sped up to y'all?
THOMAS:
That's no satellite.
TRAVIS:
Did it just It just vanished.
But then, it simply disappeared.
No way.
Well, I don't see it anymore.
THOMAS: I think we got
to get that rocket up
and see if we can make it
- TRAVIS: Yep, I hear you.
THOMAS: Replicate it.
TRAVIS:
Thomas was right.
If the UAP came
from the triangle,
we needed to launch
another rocket
in order to see if we could
get another one to appear
that we could
hopefully identify.
Going in five,
four, three,
two, one.
Oh, we got a malfunction.
Everybody watch out.
At first, we all
thought the rocket
simply blew up
at about 31 feet high.
THOMAS:
Oh.
KALEB: Hey, Travis.
- TRAVIS: Yeah?
We caught the malfunction
on-on the high-speed.
- Oh, really?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
Hey, check this out.
There's something on the camera.
BURDETTE:
It's something I've never
seen before. Check this out.
So, as it's going,
look what you've got
TRAVIS: There's something in the
sky above the rocket, right here.
KALEB: Yeah, look at
that, look at the light.
TRAVIS:
It was unbelievable.
Right where the rocket exploded,
the high-speed camera
captured an image
of a blob-like feature.
After all our experiments
there, we may have finally
gotten an image of what causes
some of the phenomena
above the triangle.
We may be looking at
the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
KALEB: Right?
- BURDETTE: That's crazy.
My gosh! (laughs)
(helicopter approaching)
Helicopter, helicopter.
Erik, we got a helicopter
right over the ranch right now.
Are you getting it?
I am getting no helicopter
above the ranch
on the ADS-B receiver here.
TRAVIS: We have a helicopter
right over the triangle.
KALEB:
Hey, it just went dark.
And it just vanished,
but we still hear it.
We've wondered before
if our investigations
were being
surveilled by someone.
But when a Black Hawk
military helicopter
that was not
transponding a signal
suddenly flew over the ranch
right after the blob appeared
just 31 feet above the triangle,
we were pretty certain.
There's not
a military base nearby.
No.
- I mean right nearby
that has helicopters.
We're talking minutes.
- Yeah.
Who alerted them that fast?
And where was that helicopter?
Where did it come from?
How did it get here so quick?
It's well known that
the federal government
funded investigations
of Skinwalker Ranch
from the mid-'90s
to the early 2000s.
Well, this just made us
wonder if it's happening again,
and do they know something
about the triangle
that we don't?
It just made us more curious
to keep poking
that hot spot for answers.
But the next experiment
we conducted there,
pointed us
in a whole new direction.
TRAVIS: There is
literally something
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
Earlier this year,
after we documented images
of the blob-like anomaly
just 31 feet above the triangle,
we were eager to conduct
high-tech experiment
to find out
just what it could be.
I hope you brought some
good stuff for us to use.
I sure did.
I brought a triple spectrum
lightwave transmitter.
- Oh, yeah.
To help us,
UAP investigator David Mason
brought out a device
called a triple spectrum
lightwave transmitter.
It projects infrared
and ultraviolet lasers
which are invisible
to the naked eye.
DAVE:
All right, that'll work.
And it also projects
a laser that is visible.
The plan was to use that
to broadcast
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
that we've previously
recorded on the ranch
through all three lasers
while they were aimed
straight at the triangle.
We hoped it would be
an effective stimulant
to get the blob-like
anomaly to reappear.
Doing some rocket surgery.
Meanwhile, Kaleb Bench and I
got set up to launch rockets
as well as mortars,
which are like
high-powered fireworks,
right up through the triangle
to see if that would also
help stir up phenomena and
finally give us some answers.
ERIK:
This is the first time
that David Mason
has been on the property,
and as far as I know,
this is the first time
that any equipment of the kind
that he has brought out
has ever been used
on the property,
and I'm really anxious
to see what's going to happen.
DAVID:
Okay, these are working.
Just making sure that
we're getting a signal.
THOMAS: So,
everything looks quiet right now.
All right, well, we're
going to launch this rocket.
Copy that. We'll get ready
with David's instruments.
TRAVIS:
Five, four,
three, two, one.
There we go.
Whoa, what was that
purple light over there?
Did anybody else see
a purple light over there?
The rocket launched up
through the triangle as planned,
but we were all baffled
when Thomas saw
a flashing purple light
hundreds of yards away
in the south field.
Dave, I'm going to head down
and try to come around
the back side.
We need to know whether
we've got people down there
or if this is an actual
reaction to that rocket.
Uh, I'm taking the UTV.
I'm gonna roll down
through the dark forest
and try to come up
from the other direction.
I see that purple flash again,
and I'm wondering if we got
trespassers down there
or something else.
Is this a response
to our experiments?
Thomas, where are you?
THOMAS: So, we've just rendezvoused
with Tom and Kandus here,
and neither one of us
has seen anything
that would account
for that purple light.
TRAVIS:
Once he got there,
the purple light
had disappeared.
Hey, Thomas, Erik,
with our night vision
there's something right over
Tom and Kandus down there
in the sky blinking
at about ten degrees up.
But then, Kaleb and I
saw another UAP
higher in the sky above Thomas
that seemed to be
tracking his movements.
It is clearly something there.
THOMAS: Let's see what we can
do with this tree right here.
ERIK: After our experience with
this mysterious purple light
in the southeast region
of the property,
we've decided that
we need to increase
our surveillance efforts
down there.
I've instructed
our team to install
additional cameras.
THOMAS: Whoa,
what is that in front of us?
What kind of animal is that?
KALEB:
Looks like a deer.
TRAVIS: Our team would
end up finding the remains
of two dead deer
in the south field.
And when a local
veterinarian examined them,
she believed they had been
killed by a large predator,
but nothing like a coyote,
which are known
to inhabit the area.
Huh, look at this.
We got a burn mark.
TRAVIS: And it was even stranger
when Thomas noticed a fence post
with a mysterious,
circular burn,
as if something had
blown right through it.
KALEBB: Just that one section.
- THOMAS: There's nothing burned around here.
What the heck would have
burned this post?
Pretty fresh looking.
KALEB: I just wanted to
stop right here, Don,
to really give you
an idea of where we're at.
TRAVIS: To help us figure
out what could have burned
and damaged the post
in such a strange way,
Don Mitchell, a local Uinta
Basin Fire Management Officer
and member of
the Eastern Shoshoni nation
came to check it out.
Our initial thought
is lightning.
But I'd assume, if we had
a lightning strike here,
we'd see, definitely,
more damage on the ground.
DON:
We would definitely see debris.
As you can see,
in the smoldering phase of this,
that there's no blackening
that comes up around
the post in any direction.
BRYANT: So,
if I'm understanding correctly,
based off of what you're saying,
it seems as though it was
something extremely hot
that scorched it, but it never
really incinerated, correct?
Correct.
But I can tell you,
this is not arson,
this is not chemical
and this, in my opinion,
is not lightning.
BRYANT:
So, what is it then?
I'll only touch on it
just-just briefly
because this is
definitely strange.
Speaking culturally,
it would go back to
what the ranch is named after.
Okay.
- Okay.
I'm sorry,
I don't feel comfortable
KALEB: You're fine.
- speaking on that, on that portion.
I don't want to breach anything
that would make you uncomfortable.
- But we will continue on.
TRAVIS:
Most Indigenous tribal members
won't even come on the ranch
due to their beliefs
that it's cursed
and possibly home to
otherworldly phenomena.
So, we respected
Don's reluctance
to offer any more speculation
about what burned the post
or killed the deer.
Hey, Bryant.
- Hey, man.
I got those cards
from those cameras.
Yup, okay, cool.
Let's check it out.
TRAVIS: But then one day
later, Kaleb and Dragon
were stunned by what
they saw in some footage
that was recorded
by the new cameras.
BRYANT:
I'm surprised we haven't seen
any game of any kind yet.
That's what I'm wondering.
What's setting off the cameras?
- Right.
BRYANT:
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back that up,
- Did you see that?
Yeah, back that up.
What-what was that?
KALEB:
I'm just running through it
frame by frame.
What?
KALEB:
Like a silver orb or something.
BRYANT: At first glance,
it appeared to be
a silver orb-type shaped object
off in the distance.
I don't know whether
it's exotic or not,
but it's still a concern.
KALEB: We just found something
that we thought you guys
might want to look at.
TRAVIS: Really?
- KALEB: Yeah.
Okay. All right, here we go.
TRAVIS: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- BRYANT: Right Go back. Right there.
Right there.
TRAVIS:
Holy cow.
ERIK:
Well, the fact
that the shape of
the dark spot is different,
and it seems to have expanded
relative to the rest of it,
is kind of consistent
with reflections
because it's in
a different place.
Which suggests that
it's metallic or at least
reflective of some sort.
- ERIK: Mm-hmm.
It does suggest that.
TRAVIS:
This silver orb
left us baffled
by what it could be.
What was this thing?
Could it have been
connected to the dead deer,
the burnt post or the UAPs
we saw in the south field?
And where did it come from?
Well, what we would
soon discover
at another location on the ranch
just might answer
those questions.
Middle of the day,
an orb like that showing up?
That's crazy.
TRAVIS: First,
go to the east field,
okay?
- CAMERON: All right.
BRANDON:
Now, we're tracking.
Hopefully, we'll be able to
capture something interesting.
Yeah. Every time
Pete's been out there,
something interesting
has happened.
Well, this'll be good.
I'm gonna increase altitude.
TRAVIS: During our first
helicopter experiment this year,
where we detected strange
lidar anomalies at 300 feet
and nearly a mile
above the triangle,
we also had Pete Kelsey
scan the east field
of Skinwalker Ranch.
It was here where
a photogrammetry experiment
that Pete helped us
conduct in 2021
captured 3D images
of a mysterious
column-shaped anomaly
that, believe it or not,
was also 300 feet tall.
And it's near a megalithic
spiral-shaped boulder formation
up on the mesa that was
created hundreds of years ago
by Indigenous tribal members
for the reported purpose
of representing an
interdimensional portal
on Skinwalker Ranch.
All right, the east field.
We should be about over it
right in here.
- CAMERON: Okay.
All right, I'm going to start scanning.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.
PETE: All right?
- Okay.
We're getting buffeted
from the wind a little bit.
But there's no freaking wind.
Whoa, whoa.
We're getting our asses kicked.
TRAVIS:
It was crazy.
It looks like
it's being pushed around
from the ground right now.
TRAVIS:
At an altitude of 300 feet,
right where we detected the
column-shaped anomaly last year,
something invisible started
pushing the helicopter around.
TRAVIS: Yeah.
- CAMERON: Feel that, that's just crazy.
(groans)
Oh, wow.
We're getting something.
PETE:
What?
TRAVIS:
We are getting an anomaly
in the air,
right now, right there.
You're kidding.
- No, I am not kidding.
Just like at the triangle,
the lidar detected something
in the air 300 feet high.
And what's really incredible
is that it lined up perfectly
with the top
of the column-shaped anomaly
we documented one year ago.
So, what in the heck was it?
And could it possibly
have been related
to the spiral of boulders
on the nearby mesa?
Now, at this point,
we feel it's important
to acknowledge something.
Like with any
scientific investigation,
sometimes
the initial observation
of collected data in the field
seems a lot more exciting
than it proves to be
after further analysis.
Watch this.
There's something
screaming across there
right after the rocket.
TRAVIS: During a high-speed
camera experiment
this year in the east field,
we captured images of what
we first believed
was a very fast moving
unidentified aerial phenomenon.
Look at this thing.
- TRAVIS: That field of view across there
is across the whole mesa,
so that's about a half a mile,
and it's at
2,000 frames a second,
so he just went
a half a mile in
1.12 seconds I believe.
So it literally went from
about halfway here in the mesa
to above these trees
over here in a second.
TRAVIS: However,
when the cameras stop rolling
on Skinwalker Ranch,
the research continues.
And after further
study of the images
that the high-speed camera
captured, we have determined
that it was simply a winged
creature of some kind,
most likely a bird.
We don't believe
it was an insect
because it would have
been too close to the lens.
This just reinforces
the principle
that all the data requires
careful follow-up analysis.
Using the scientific method,
we will always
continue researching the data
and then reporting
our conclusions.
Because the truth is
that in most cases,
we still have been
unable to explain
a lot of what we have seen
and encountered
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
Just like during
another experiment
that was conducted
right in the east field.
JIM:
Thanks so much for coming in.
I'm anxious for you
to share with us
a little bit about Blazing Bear.
JOHN:
Yeah, thanks for having us.
So, like, these guys are all
Comanches and Kiowas
and Cheyennes,
Shawnees, Navajos, we all
represent different tribes.
These guys are very traditional.
They have old songs
that have been sung
for hundreds of years,
so we want to see
what's gonna happen.
TRAVIS:
So, let's get moving.
Jim Morse and
Navajo Ranger Jon Dover
brought an Indigenous
drum circle group
named Blazing Bear
out to the ranch.
According to Jon,
the Indigenous cultures
in the area
believe very strongly
that certain sound frequencies
can actually open
portals, or wormholes,
to other dimensions,
or places in the universe.
And they even claim to
have witnessed UFOs fly into
and out of rocky mesas.
(singing indistinctly)
TRAVIS: Our plan was
to have David Mason
film Blazing Bear
with his thermal cameras
as they performed
a sacred ritual
in front of the mesa,
below the spiral of boulders.
We wanted to see if we could
capture anything strange
that we might not be able
to naturally observe.
(singing continues)
Right there.
- Yup.
TRAVIS: Well,
when they started singing
the temperature
literally changed.
Look at the top of the mesa.
Erik, the stone circle
is where it's heating up
on top of the mesa.
Are you kidding me?
TRAVIS: You should see this.
This is fascinating.
Right there, that's
where the stone circle is.
And it's heating up.
Look how hot it's getting.
Of all the experiments
we've conducted
over the past four years,
Blazing Bear
seemed to have conjured
some of the most
perplexing phenomena we've
ever seen on Skinwalker Ranch.
There was a distinct
heat anomaly
that appeared right over
the spiral of boulders
on top of the mesa.
(singing continues)
BRYANT: Now, look at it.
It's cooling off.
DAVID:
Yeah.
TRAVIS:
And it only appeared
during their song ritual.
ERIK: Now, we're about to see
another event that
I found interesting.
TRAVIS:
The following day,
Erik surprised us even more
with the incredible data
he found while scouring through
all the thermal footage.
Now, look at
what's happening here.
So, we've got the ridge line,
fairly well-defined,
and now look at this.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- KALEB: There it is.
Go back, go back, go back.
TRAVIS:
What is that?
KALEB:
That, that's crazy.
TRAVIS:
In addition to the hot spot
that appeared during
the song ritual,
the thermal camera captured
two bright UAPs
flying directly into the mesa
right near the spiral
of boulders.
It doesn't go
in front of the mesa.
KALEB: You can clearly
see the line of the mesa,
and it's like there's something
going behind it there.
TRAVIS:
Could we have really documented
something that offers evidence
to support the ancient
Indigenous traditions
about portals and UAPs
flying in and out of mesas?
Well, what we later
discovered this year
while investigating
a different area of the mesa
might have revealed something
that no one could have
ever expected.
AARON: You guys
cleared out a spot.
BRYANT: Yeah.
THOMAS:
Made it out, huh?
AARON:
Yeah, we made it.
One of the most perplexing
locations on Skinwalker Ranch
is a particular region
of the rocky mesa
that borders the north side
of the property.
In fact, there are
even crazy rumors
from past investigators
who worked with
the federal government
about a secret base
or even some kind
of E.T. spacecraft
being buried inside there.
Erik's also captured
surveillance footage
of this area being
totally illuminated
during the middle of the night.
It sounds unbelievable,
but in 2021,
we drilled into it
BRYANT: Boy, that thing sounds
like its hitting something.
TRAVIS:and scraped along
the bottom of a 400-foot-long,
THOMAS:
What is that?
ERIK: What did you think it
was when you first saw it?
THOMAS: I wondered if it was
like metal flakes or something.
That's exactly
the same impression I got.
TRAVIS:
However, we did extract
metallic fragments that,
when scientifically analyzed,
proved to be composed
of the same kinds
of materials that NASA uses
to protect the surface
of the space shuttle
during re-entry
into the atmosphere.
Let's get drilling.
- All right.
So this year,
after removing some boulders
from the base of the mesa
AARON:
It's going now.
TRAVIS:the team from
Straight Shot Drillers
came back out. But this time,
we had them aim for the top
of the believed
dome-shaped object.
Meanwhile, Dragon
and Kaleb Bench
hiked up the mesa
Okay. Hey, we can try it.
We got it here.
Let me get this sucker up again.
TRAVIS:and fed a snake
camera down through the boulders
to look for any of
the other anomalies
that could be in there.
BRYANT:
Whoa. Look at that pink stuff.
What in the hell is that?
You see that right there?
- KALEB: Oh, yeah. Right there.
BRYANT:
That doesn't look natural
or like it should be there.
Look at that.
We weren't sure what to make
of the pink substance,
so we had the video sent
to the University of Utah
for expert analysis.
ERIK: So,
he's hitting resistance right now.
THOMAS:
You can hear that.
Drill's hitting something hard.
- Oh, yeah.
What's going on, Thomas?
After drilling more
than 270 or 280 feet
of going through
sandstone like butter,
the drill has
encountered a hard object
that it cannot penetrate.
- Wow.
Just like last year,
the drill couldn't penetrate
the top of
the dome-shaped object either.
See? And we're
at 8,000 pounds of push.
Yeah.
- Hardly any rotation off of it,
so either my bit's broke off
or it's just spinning
on something smooth.
TRAVIS:
Aaron Blunt finally
had to call it quits and
retracted his drill bit.
We all expected it
to be severely damaged.
Getting this cleaned off.
These teeth are all
perfectly intact.
It's not missing a single tooth.
- Yeah.
THOMAS:
I mean, it
it looks like
it's in perfect condition.
What in the heck
could be covering
the surface of this anomaly?
It was like
some kind of force field
out of a science fiction movie.
Now, this is what
you guys imaged.
So, that's the pink rock
inside the mesa.
BRYANT: Yup.
- ERIK: The geology
geophysics guys are giving us
their best guess
based upon these images.
They have a couple
of opinions on this.
TRAVIS: When we got the report
back from the University of Utah
about the pink substance
in the mesa,
it was speculated that it
could contain zinc selenide.
That's a compound
that the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency,
or DARPA,
is currently experimenting with
for possible
cloaking applications
on a number of assets
for the United States
Department of Defense,
including soldiers' gear,
tanks and even fighter jets.
What could that mean about
what's buried inside the mesa?
ERIK:
Well, Jeremiah,
it's been a long time
in the making.
Yeah. Great to finally
be here in person.
Okay, I think we're good.
Go for launch.
TRAVIS: In order to get
to the bottom of the mesa
and the triangle,
Erik invited tech expert
Jeremiah Pate
and his team from Lunasonde
to perform an aerial
balloon radar scan
Fantastic.
TRAVIS:
that would not only
look all through
the anomalous zone
of the triangle, but image
the inside of the mesa.
Greetings, Jeremiah.
Thank you for joining.
Yeah, thank you, Brandon.
And hello, everyone.
TRAVIS:
It took Jeremiah several weeks
to process the data
from the mesa,
so we couldn't wait
to hear what he
and his team had to reveal.
You've got a room full of people
who are on
the edge of their seats,
waiting to see what
you've discovered.
JEREMIAH: Absolutely.
So here is a 2D rendering
seen from above
what we saw underground.
It definitely seems like
a tunnel type of structure.
It's actually stretching
into the mesa itself.
Wow.
JEREMIAH: This really
got our attention.
Yeah. - It's very,
very, uh, interesting.
So, these structures right here,
some of these are in
the order of 60 feet wide.
ERIK: 60
- BRYANT: What?
BRYANT: As big as this room.
- BRANDON: 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 lead me to
is some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.
TRAVIS: So,
we've encountered what we believe
is a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metallic object
inside the mesa
that might be related
to spacecraft materials.
And now we've detected possible
massive metallic tunnels.
Could the crazy legends about
Skinwalker Ranch really be true?
Well, when we conducted
more complex experiments
at the triangle,
we were blown away
by the possible answer.
BRANDON:
Oh, my gosh.
What have we stumbled on?
Yeah.
SAM: All right, we're green.
JIM:
Yeah, we'll just be ready to go.
TRAVIS: In order to help
us get to the bottom of all
the phenomena that keeps
happening at the triangle,
we invited Jim Royston
and his amazing colleagues
from a company called OmniTeq
to help us conduct
a new high-tech experiment.
SAM:
Space station, start tracking.
All right.
Oh, there it is.
Tracking the space station now.
It's got it locked on?
- SAM: Yep.
TRAVIS: Our plan was to
use high-powered antennas
to lock onto a radio signal
from the International
Space Station
and track it
through the anomalous zone
as the space station
passed over the ranch.
Meanwhile, Jim would be
flying a cutting-edge
drone-based lidar device
to scan through
the anomalous zone
above the triangle
with infrared lasers.
So, if anything
broke our connection
with the space station's signal,
we hope that the lidar
would be able to see it
and confirm what it was.
Uh
TRAVIS: Are you getting it?
- No, it's not showing up right now.
TRAVIS: But just after
we made the connection
to the space station,
something strange cut it off.
Well, that's odd, isn't it?
Travis, we've got
something strong.
TRAVIS:
You have something?
What frequency?
So, well, it's at 1.6510.
TRAVIS: And then we detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal.
SAM:
It's like a beacon.
TRAVIS:
If there is
something going on
right there now
'cause we're
having this problem,
I want to launch
a rocket through it.
BRYANT:
Let's do it.
You hot over there?
Yep, we're hot there.
TRAVIS: Everybody in
position for rocket launches?
Okay.
TRAVIS: There,
that's a beautiful launch.
JIM:
We caught it.
That was amazing.
It dispersed all the points
out really wide.
TRAVIS: Meaning that the lidar points
around it moved out of the way?
JIM:
Yeah.
What?
Jim Royston's lidar
captured images of the rocket
clearly passing through some
kind of invisible mass right at
about 31 feet high,
the same level we saw the blob.
But what was it?
I had some time
to start processing
and looking at it.
This is what we saw.
So, I'll plug this in
so you guys can see it.
- Want me to turn the TV on?
Yeah.
- There we go.
ERIK: Oh. Oh
- JIM: So
TRAVIS: That's the What's that spot?
- ERIK: What are we looking at?
TRAVIS:
The processed data
showed a black void
in the center of the triangle.
Can you zoom way out?
JIM:
Whoa.
Look at that.
That's interesting.
- Yeah.
It's-it's a shadow of something.
What-what are we looking at?
THOMAS:
A black hole? (chuckles)
TRAVIS:
It could be Well,
that could be
a shadow of a wormhole.
Could we have possibly captured
a lidar image of a wormhole?
If we did,
we needed to find
some way to confirm it.
THOMAS:
Five, four, three,
two, one.
Ooh!
- TRAVIS: Oh, that was so cool!
THOMAS:
They almost hit.
TRAVIS:
One week later,
while we launched
rockets vertically
and horizontally through the
anomalous zone of the triangle,
Brandon, Kaleb and Erik
flew in the helicopter
with Cameron so Erik
could scan the triangle
with a spectrum analyzer
for any tell-tale evidence.
Wait, Thomas, look.
Right-right there. Right there.
Right-right above the horizon.
Although we did capture
a large UAP in the sky
I have some video footage
taken from the vantage point
of the helicopter
that we all need to get eyes on,
and you'll see why.
TRAVIS:we were really
shocked by what Erik found
in the footage collected
by a camera that was
mounted on Brandon's helicopter.
Are you seeing it, Thomas?
- Whoa.
Okay, look, look, look.
- TRAVIS: Look at that.
ERIK: Look right there.
This is the feature of interest.
Right. I'm seeing it.
TRAVIS:
Oh.
BRANDON:
Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
It went behind the mesa.
BRYANT:
Where'd it go?
Did it go right behind the mesa?
Yes. And on closer inspection,
it appears as if there's
a corresponding light
and illuminated area
on the mesa itself.
Watch what happens
as we play through.
Oh, right there.
- BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
- There it goes.
Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
We all saw it.
A UAP clearly entered the top
of the mesa in the east field,
and then re-emerged
from the front of the mesa
right at the triangle.
Did we really see
what Indigenous people
have claimed for generations?
A UAP traversing
through an actual wormhole?
Well, it led us to conduct
our most complex experiment
yet in order to prove it,
and the results went
beyond what we expected.
ERIK: Travis,
I'm set up over here,
so how are you doing over there?
TRAVIS:
Uh, everything's set up here.
Allen, you guys good?
Dave, you guys good?
Yeah, we're armed and ready.
TRAVIS: After all the unique
experiments we conducted
this year at the triangle,
each of which produced
bizarre and varied phenomena,
before we suspended our
investigation for the winter,
we decided to combine
a bunch of technologies
and poke this hot spot
harder than ever before
to get answers related
to the energy spikes,
the UAPs and try to
answer whether or not
wormholes really exist
on Skinwalker Ranch.
Tim, I say we go ahead
and bring the lasers up.
TIM: Lasers up.
- TRAVIS: Lasers are up.
The experiment included
an array of lasers
that scanned the anomalous zone
while broadcasting an audio file
of the Blazing Bear song ritual.
Everything's ready.
Drones are armed.
A swarm of
250 illuminated drones
programmed to, once again,
fly in formation
up to the 300-foot level
One here?
- Yeah, just, uh, ground it here.
TRAVIS:as well as
several rounds of rockets
equipped with increasing power
so that we could reach
higher and higher altitudes
within the anomalous zone
throughout the operation.
And, of course,
we were also filming
this mega-experiment
with thermal cameras.
Okay, I've got
eyes on the flare.
All right, we are
going hot with the rockets.
ALLEN:
We got all six hot.
TRAVIS:
Here we go in five,
four, three, two, one.
Where are the others?
What's going on?
THOMAS:
Well, that was weird.
TRAVIS: As soon as
the experiment started,
things got strange.
When we triggered the rockets,
which were initially set
to launch simultaneously,
they mysteriously
took off one at a time
and appeared
to be deflected off course
right at the 31-foot blob level.
TRAVIS:
Anything in the FLIR?
ERIK:
Oh, wow.
Uh, yeah.
TRAVIS: You did see
something in the FLIR?
Yep, moving up here
from the center up towards
the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
- Oh, what is that?
Then Erik saw a UAP in the sky
that appeared on
the FLIR thermal camera.
All right, drones are going,
drones are going.
Oh, fantastic.
TRAVIS:
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
TRAVIS:
Wow, look at that.
They're going up
in, uh, two layers.
ERIK:
That's just spectacular.
We got one that's
hung out over here.
ERIK:
Look at that.
What's that one doing?
I don't know.
Preston, I got one coming down.
TRAVIS:
And when the drones ascended
up to the 300-foot level,
first one,
and then several others
fell out of formation
Now a third one's falling out.
A fourth one.
as if something
was pushing them around.
It was just like what happened
during the first drone
experiment earlier in the year,
and when Brandon's helicopter
got jostled around in midair.
ALLEN: We are clear, clear, clear.
- TRAVIS: Ready?
All right, there's gonna
be a staggered launch in five,
four, three, two,
one.
Get it.
- Wow.
Those crisscrossed
right through the middle,
that one went way north
KALEB: Hey,
do we have an airplane up north?
I'm looking, I don't see it.
Because I got something
in the FLIR right here.
What? Something in the FLIR?
- Right here.
Yup, there is
something in the FLIR.
KALEB: The moment we launched,
it popped up right in here.
TRAVIS:
We have an object in the FLIR.
It's, uh,
a hot object in the sky,
probably a hundred feet
over the mesa.
The strange events continued
throughout the night
KALEB: Hey,
we got something on the FLIR.
We got something on the FLIR.
- What do you got?
TRAVIS:
including one UAP
that seemed to morph into
several smaller ones.
KALEB: When one of the
rockets went right there,
it went from a line
into many bright lights.
ERIK:
Wow.
I could be convinced that we're
looking at something
formation flying.
TRAVIS:
Seriously?
During this experiment,
we also documented
repeated phenomena
at the 31-foot level,
as well as the 300-foot level,
and we saw numerous UAPs.
Whoa-whoa-whoa. Look.
What we got here?
Over here.
Once again, we got repeated data
at multiple points
above the triangle.
And they all point to something
extraordinary going on there.
ERIK: We're seeing things that
are very hard for us to explain
over the ranch,
and I can't help but wonder
whether we are, in fact,
dealing with
something technological.
We have to continue searching.
BRANDON:
We are dealing with forces
that are powerful and yet to be
explained or understood.
The deeper down
the rabbit hole that we travel,
the more complex
that it appears.
TRAVIS: With everything
our team experienced this year,
I'd like to think we're close
to the ultimate answers
behind all
the phenomena out here.
But given all the questions
that clearly still exist,
I think it's more likely
that we are just getting started
uncovering the true secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
Today, the UFO phenomenon
is a regular fixture
of mainstream media reports
and has gripped the attention
of the general public
more than ever.
In fact, it's now
common knowledge
that the federal government
has recently funded
secretive programs to
investigate the subject,
and whistleblowers
are starting to come forward,
declaring that our
intelligence agencies
know much more than
they are willing to reveal.
My name is Dr. Travis Taylor,
and I was not only
the chief scientist
on the federal government's
UAP task force
from 2019 to 2022,
but I'm also part of
a civilian investigation
There's something
right over Thomas down there
in the sky, blinking
at about ten degrees up.
at a 512-acre
property in Utah
that's been a UAP
hot spot for decades,
if not centuries.
There is something
in the mesa, right there.
A place known
as Skinwalker Ranch.
Tonight, we're looking back
on a number of shocking events
and discoveries we made there
just in the past year
that may finally help
reveal the truth behind
the UAP phenomenon.
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.
BRANDON: Let's proceed.
We've got a
a big day ahead of us.
And an exciting time to kick off
this phase of the investigation.
TRAVIS: When Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch,
and his principle
investigator Erik Bard
led the effort to reignite
our team's investigation
into all the bizarre
phenomena this year,
we all agreed that ground zero
should be a location
known as the triangle.
This spot near
the middle of the ranch
has been a major hotbed for
what we call "high strangeness."
MAN: We've got liftoff.
TRAVIS: Oh, my God.
During launch,
the electromagnetic spectrum
is going crazy, guys.
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's here that we've not only
detected GPS anomalies,
as well as
a mysterious radio signal
measured at a frequency of 1.6
gigahertz from the ground level
up to nearly a mile high,
it's also where we've seen
a number of UAPs
TRAVIS: Did you see that?
- BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
some of which
vanished into thin air.
This thing's
really clipping along.
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
Here we go. Hang on, Pete.
So, for our first
experiment this year,
in the hopes of identifying
just what causes
all these phenomena,
Cameron Fugal flew me
and technologist Pete Kelsey
up above the triangle
so that Pete could
scan that anomalous zone
with a handheld lidar device.
I mean, we're at
the triangle right now,
so if you want to, bring it up.
- PETE: All right, so
give me about ten seconds
and we'll be scanning.
TRAVIS: Holy cow. There's something
right outside the aircraft.
You're kidding.
- TRAVIS: No, I am not kidding.
You were at 300 feet and were
detecting an object in the air.
PETE: What?
You've got to be kidding me.
But right as we reached
an altitude of 300 feet,
the infrared lasers
of the lidar scanner
began tracing something
that was totally invisible
to the naked eye.
About 300 feet
above ground level,
you can see the green
is the ground
and the red is the thing.
PETE: This is unbelievable.
- Unbelievable.
They're climbing.
TRAVIS: We were stunned
when the lidar scanner
detected something strange
just 300 feet in the air.
So we were really anxious
to see what we would find
up in the mile-high zone.
Holy cow.
- PETE: What, what, what?
Look at that.
See it?
- Yes.
TRAVIS: We've got an
anomaly, a clear anomaly
right beside us.
BRYANT:
We've had eyes on it
with three sets of binoculars,
and we've seen nothing.
Tell them to launch.
TRAVIS: In order to see
if we could stimulate
these anomalies to appear,
we launched a rocket.
Three, two, one!
There it goes.
TRAVIS: What?
TRAVIS: Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
PETE: There you go.
TRAVIS: I got you,
I got you, I got you.
TRAVIS: We're not sure if
the rocket stimulated it,
but right after the launch,
the helicopter was
suddenly hit by what felt like
high winds, even though
the helicopter's gauges
showed that any natural gusts
would be coming from
a totally different direction.
I think it's time to abort.
TRAVIS:
After what we felt up there
and saw on the lidar,
we wanted to get
another set of data
to confirm the findings.
Here we go.
TRAVIS:
So, high-speed camera expert
Burdette Anderson joined us
for a new rocket experiment
at the triangle, snapping
1,000 frames per second
in the hopes of
giving us a glimpse
of anything strange up there.
TRAVIS (over radio): Great,
we got the next one on the pad
Five, four,
three, two, one.
KALEB:
That is cool.
TRAVIS:
Oh, that was awesome.
Well, that went up pretty high.
KALEB: Hey, we got a light
that's right there that's moving.
TRAVIS: Yeah, we got it!
There it is, right there!
Now, this one's
moving pretty fast.
What is that?
KALEB:
That's not a plane.
TRAVIS:
After launching two rockets
up through the triangle, a UAP
suddenly appeared in the sky.
Does it look like
it just sped up to y'all?
THOMAS:
That's no satellite.
TRAVIS:
Did it just It just vanished.
But then, it simply disappeared.
No way.
Well, I don't see it anymore.
THOMAS: I think we got
to get that rocket up
and see if we can make it
- TRAVIS: Yep, I hear you.
THOMAS: Replicate it.
TRAVIS:
Thomas was right.
If the UAP came
from the triangle,
we needed to launch
another rocket
in order to see if we could
get another one to appear
that we could
hopefully identify.
Going in five,
four, three,
two, one.
Oh, we got a malfunction.
Everybody watch out.
At first, we all
thought the rocket
simply blew up
at about 31 feet high.
THOMAS:
Oh.
KALEB: Hey, Travis.
- TRAVIS: Yeah?
We caught the malfunction
on-on the high-speed.
- Oh, really?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
Hey, check this out.
There's something on the camera.
BURDETTE:
It's something I've never
seen before. Check this out.
So, as it's going,
look what you've got
TRAVIS: There's something in the
sky above the rocket, right here.
KALEB: Yeah, look at
that, look at the light.
TRAVIS:
It was unbelievable.
Right where the rocket exploded,
the high-speed camera
captured an image
of a blob-like feature.
After all our experiments
there, we may have finally
gotten an image of what causes
some of the phenomena
above the triangle.
We may be looking at
the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
KALEB: Right?
- BURDETTE: That's crazy.
My gosh! (laughs)
(helicopter approaching)
Helicopter, helicopter.
Erik, we got a helicopter
right over the ranch right now.
Are you getting it?
I am getting no helicopter
above the ranch
on the ADS-B receiver here.
TRAVIS: We have a helicopter
right over the triangle.
KALEB:
Hey, it just went dark.
And it just vanished,
but we still hear it.
We've wondered before
if our investigations
were being
surveilled by someone.
But when a Black Hawk
military helicopter
that was not
transponding a signal
suddenly flew over the ranch
right after the blob appeared
just 31 feet above the triangle,
we were pretty certain.
There's not
a military base nearby.
No.
- I mean right nearby
that has helicopters.
We're talking minutes.
- Yeah.
Who alerted them that fast?
And where was that helicopter?
Where did it come from?
How did it get here so quick?
It's well known that
the federal government
funded investigations
of Skinwalker Ranch
from the mid-'90s
to the early 2000s.
Well, this just made us
wonder if it's happening again,
and do they know something
about the triangle
that we don't?
It just made us more curious
to keep poking
that hot spot for answers.
But the next experiment
we conducted there,
pointed us
in a whole new direction.
TRAVIS: There is
literally something
We may be looking at the anomaly
for the first time, guys.
Earlier this year,
after we documented images
of the blob-like anomaly
just 31 feet above the triangle,
we were eager to conduct
high-tech experiment
to find out
just what it could be.
I hope you brought some
good stuff for us to use.
I sure did.
I brought a triple spectrum
lightwave transmitter.
- Oh, yeah.
To help us,
UAP investigator David Mason
brought out a device
called a triple spectrum
lightwave transmitter.
It projects infrared
and ultraviolet lasers
which are invisible
to the naked eye.
DAVE:
All right, that'll work.
And it also projects
a laser that is visible.
The plan was to use that
to broadcast
the 1.6 gigahertz signal
that we've previously
recorded on the ranch
through all three lasers
while they were aimed
straight at the triangle.
We hoped it would be
an effective stimulant
to get the blob-like
anomaly to reappear.
Doing some rocket surgery.
Meanwhile, Kaleb Bench and I
got set up to launch rockets
as well as mortars,
which are like
high-powered fireworks,
right up through the triangle
to see if that would also
help stir up phenomena and
finally give us some answers.
ERIK:
This is the first time
that David Mason
has been on the property,
and as far as I know,
this is the first time
that any equipment of the kind
that he has brought out
has ever been used
on the property,
and I'm really anxious
to see what's going to happen.
DAVID:
Okay, these are working.
Just making sure that
we're getting a signal.
THOMAS: So,
everything looks quiet right now.
All right, well, we're
going to launch this rocket.
Copy that. We'll get ready
with David's instruments.
TRAVIS:
Five, four,
three, two, one.
There we go.
Whoa, what was that
purple light over there?
Did anybody else see
a purple light over there?
The rocket launched up
through the triangle as planned,
but we were all baffled
when Thomas saw
a flashing purple light
hundreds of yards away
in the south field.
Dave, I'm going to head down
and try to come around
the back side.
We need to know whether
we've got people down there
or if this is an actual
reaction to that rocket.
Uh, I'm taking the UTV.
I'm gonna roll down
through the dark forest
and try to come up
from the other direction.
I see that purple flash again,
and I'm wondering if we got
trespassers down there
or something else.
Is this a response
to our experiments?
Thomas, where are you?
THOMAS: So, we've just rendezvoused
with Tom and Kandus here,
and neither one of us
has seen anything
that would account
for that purple light.
TRAVIS:
Once he got there,
the purple light
had disappeared.
Hey, Thomas, Erik,
with our night vision
there's something right over
Tom and Kandus down there
in the sky blinking
at about ten degrees up.
But then, Kaleb and I
saw another UAP
higher in the sky above Thomas
that seemed to be
tracking his movements.
It is clearly something there.
THOMAS: Let's see what we can
do with this tree right here.
ERIK: After our experience with
this mysterious purple light
in the southeast region
of the property,
we've decided that
we need to increase
our surveillance efforts
down there.
I've instructed
our team to install
additional cameras.
THOMAS: Whoa,
what is that in front of us?
What kind of animal is that?
KALEB:
Looks like a deer.
TRAVIS: Our team would
end up finding the remains
of two dead deer
in the south field.
And when a local
veterinarian examined them,
she believed they had been
killed by a large predator,
but nothing like a coyote,
which are known
to inhabit the area.
Huh, look at this.
We got a burn mark.
TRAVIS: And it was even stranger
when Thomas noticed a fence post
with a mysterious,
circular burn,
as if something had
blown right through it.
KALEBB: Just that one section.
- THOMAS: There's nothing burned around here.
What the heck would have
burned this post?
Pretty fresh looking.
KALEB: I just wanted to
stop right here, Don,
to really give you
an idea of where we're at.
TRAVIS: To help us figure
out what could have burned
and damaged the post
in such a strange way,
Don Mitchell, a local Uinta
Basin Fire Management Officer
and member of
the Eastern Shoshoni nation
came to check it out.
Our initial thought
is lightning.
But I'd assume, if we had
a lightning strike here,
we'd see, definitely,
more damage on the ground.
DON:
We would definitely see debris.
As you can see,
in the smoldering phase of this,
that there's no blackening
that comes up around
the post in any direction.
BRYANT: So,
if I'm understanding correctly,
based off of what you're saying,
it seems as though it was
something extremely hot
that scorched it, but it never
really incinerated, correct?
Correct.
But I can tell you,
this is not arson,
this is not chemical
and this, in my opinion,
is not lightning.
BRYANT:
So, what is it then?
I'll only touch on it
just-just briefly
because this is
definitely strange.
Speaking culturally,
it would go back to
what the ranch is named after.
Okay.
- Okay.
I'm sorry,
I don't feel comfortable
KALEB: You're fine.
- speaking on that, on that portion.
I don't want to breach anything
that would make you uncomfortable.
- But we will continue on.
TRAVIS:
Most Indigenous tribal members
won't even come on the ranch
due to their beliefs
that it's cursed
and possibly home to
otherworldly phenomena.
So, we respected
Don's reluctance
to offer any more speculation
about what burned the post
or killed the deer.
Hey, Bryant.
- Hey, man.
I got those cards
from those cameras.
Yup, okay, cool.
Let's check it out.
TRAVIS: But then one day
later, Kaleb and Dragon
were stunned by what
they saw in some footage
that was recorded
by the new cameras.
BRYANT:
I'm surprised we haven't seen
any game of any kind yet.
That's what I'm wondering.
What's setting off the cameras?
- Right.
BRYANT:
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back that up,
- Did you see that?
Yeah, back that up.
What-what was that?
KALEB:
I'm just running through it
frame by frame.
What?
KALEB:
Like a silver orb or something.
BRYANT: At first glance,
it appeared to be
a silver orb-type shaped object
off in the distance.
I don't know whether
it's exotic or not,
but it's still a concern.
KALEB: We just found something
that we thought you guys
might want to look at.
TRAVIS: Really?
- KALEB: Yeah.
Okay. All right, here we go.
TRAVIS: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- BRYANT: Right Go back. Right there.
Right there.
TRAVIS:
Holy cow.
ERIK:
Well, the fact
that the shape of
the dark spot is different,
and it seems to have expanded
relative to the rest of it,
is kind of consistent
with reflections
because it's in
a different place.
Which suggests that
it's metallic or at least
reflective of some sort.
- ERIK: Mm-hmm.
It does suggest that.
TRAVIS:
This silver orb
left us baffled
by what it could be.
What was this thing?
Could it have been
connected to the dead deer,
the burnt post or the UAPs
we saw in the south field?
And where did it come from?
Well, what we would
soon discover
at another location on the ranch
just might answer
those questions.
Middle of the day,
an orb like that showing up?
That's crazy.
TRAVIS: First,
go to the east field,
okay?
- CAMERON: All right.
BRANDON:
Now, we're tracking.
Hopefully, we'll be able to
capture something interesting.
Yeah. Every time
Pete's been out there,
something interesting
has happened.
Well, this'll be good.
I'm gonna increase altitude.
TRAVIS: During our first
helicopter experiment this year,
where we detected strange
lidar anomalies at 300 feet
and nearly a mile
above the triangle,
we also had Pete Kelsey
scan the east field
of Skinwalker Ranch.
It was here where
a photogrammetry experiment
that Pete helped us
conduct in 2021
captured 3D images
of a mysterious
column-shaped anomaly
that, believe it or not,
was also 300 feet tall.
And it's near a megalithic
spiral-shaped boulder formation
up on the mesa that was
created hundreds of years ago
by Indigenous tribal members
for the reported purpose
of representing an
interdimensional portal
on Skinwalker Ranch.
All right, the east field.
We should be about over it
right in here.
- CAMERON: Okay.
All right, I'm going to start scanning.
- TRAVIS: Yeah.
PETE: All right?
- Okay.
We're getting buffeted
from the wind a little bit.
But there's no freaking wind.
Whoa, whoa.
We're getting our asses kicked.
TRAVIS:
It was crazy.
It looks like
it's being pushed around
from the ground right now.
TRAVIS:
At an altitude of 300 feet,
right where we detected the
column-shaped anomaly last year,
something invisible started
pushing the helicopter around.
TRAVIS: Yeah.
- CAMERON: Feel that, that's just crazy.
(groans)
Oh, wow.
We're getting something.
PETE:
What?
TRAVIS:
We are getting an anomaly
in the air,
right now, right there.
You're kidding.
- No, I am not kidding.
Just like at the triangle,
the lidar detected something
in the air 300 feet high.
And what's really incredible
is that it lined up perfectly
with the top
of the column-shaped anomaly
we documented one year ago.
So, what in the heck was it?
And could it possibly
have been related
to the spiral of boulders
on the nearby mesa?
Now, at this point,
we feel it's important
to acknowledge something.
Like with any
scientific investigation,
sometimes
the initial observation
of collected data in the field
seems a lot more exciting
than it proves to be
after further analysis.
Watch this.
There's something
screaming across there
right after the rocket.
TRAVIS: During a high-speed
camera experiment
this year in the east field,
we captured images of what
we first believed
was a very fast moving
unidentified aerial phenomenon.
Look at this thing.
- TRAVIS: That field of view across there
is across the whole mesa,
so that's about a half a mile,
and it's at
2,000 frames a second,
so he just went
a half a mile in
1.12 seconds I believe.
So it literally went from
about halfway here in the mesa
to above these trees
over here in a second.
TRAVIS: However,
when the cameras stop rolling
on Skinwalker Ranch,
the research continues.
And after further
study of the images
that the high-speed camera
captured, we have determined
that it was simply a winged
creature of some kind,
most likely a bird.
We don't believe
it was an insect
because it would have
been too close to the lens.
This just reinforces
the principle
that all the data requires
careful follow-up analysis.
Using the scientific method,
we will always
continue researching the data
and then reporting
our conclusions.
Because the truth is
that in most cases,
we still have been
unable to explain
a lot of what we have seen
and encountered
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
Just like during
another experiment
that was conducted
right in the east field.
JIM:
Thanks so much for coming in.
I'm anxious for you
to share with us
a little bit about Blazing Bear.
JOHN:
Yeah, thanks for having us.
So, like, these guys are all
Comanches and Kiowas
and Cheyennes,
Shawnees, Navajos, we all
represent different tribes.
These guys are very traditional.
They have old songs
that have been sung
for hundreds of years,
so we want to see
what's gonna happen.
TRAVIS:
So, let's get moving.
Jim Morse and
Navajo Ranger Jon Dover
brought an Indigenous
drum circle group
named Blazing Bear
out to the ranch.
According to Jon,
the Indigenous cultures
in the area
believe very strongly
that certain sound frequencies
can actually open
portals, or wormholes,
to other dimensions,
or places in the universe.
And they even claim to
have witnessed UFOs fly into
and out of rocky mesas.
(singing indistinctly)
TRAVIS: Our plan was
to have David Mason
film Blazing Bear
with his thermal cameras
as they performed
a sacred ritual
in front of the mesa,
below the spiral of boulders.
We wanted to see if we could
capture anything strange
that we might not be able
to naturally observe.
(singing continues)
Right there.
- Yup.
TRAVIS: Well,
when they started singing
the temperature
literally changed.
Look at the top of the mesa.
Erik, the stone circle
is where it's heating up
on top of the mesa.
Are you kidding me?
TRAVIS: You should see this.
This is fascinating.
Right there, that's
where the stone circle is.
And it's heating up.
Look how hot it's getting.
Of all the experiments
we've conducted
over the past four years,
Blazing Bear
seemed to have conjured
some of the most
perplexing phenomena we've
ever seen on Skinwalker Ranch.
There was a distinct
heat anomaly
that appeared right over
the spiral of boulders
on top of the mesa.
(singing continues)
BRYANT: Now, look at it.
It's cooling off.
DAVID:
Yeah.
TRAVIS:
And it only appeared
during their song ritual.
ERIK: Now, we're about to see
another event that
I found interesting.
TRAVIS:
The following day,
Erik surprised us even more
with the incredible data
he found while scouring through
all the thermal footage.
Now, look at
what's happening here.
So, we've got the ridge line,
fairly well-defined,
and now look at this.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- KALEB: There it is.
Go back, go back, go back.
TRAVIS:
What is that?
KALEB:
That, that's crazy.
TRAVIS:
In addition to the hot spot
that appeared during
the song ritual,
the thermal camera captured
two bright UAPs
flying directly into the mesa
right near the spiral
of boulders.
It doesn't go
in front of the mesa.
KALEB: You can clearly
see the line of the mesa,
and it's like there's something
going behind it there.
TRAVIS:
Could we have really documented
something that offers evidence
to support the ancient
Indigenous traditions
about portals and UAPs
flying in and out of mesas?
Well, what we later
discovered this year
while investigating
a different area of the mesa
might have revealed something
that no one could have
ever expected.
AARON: You guys
cleared out a spot.
BRYANT: Yeah.
THOMAS:
Made it out, huh?
AARON:
Yeah, we made it.
One of the most perplexing
locations on Skinwalker Ranch
is a particular region
of the rocky mesa
that borders the north side
of the property.
In fact, there are
even crazy rumors
from past investigators
who worked with
the federal government
about a secret base
or even some kind
of E.T. spacecraft
being buried inside there.
Erik's also captured
surveillance footage
of this area being
totally illuminated
during the middle of the night.
It sounds unbelievable,
but in 2021,
we drilled into it
BRYANT: Boy, that thing sounds
like its hitting something.
TRAVIS:and scraped along
the bottom of a 400-foot-long,
THOMAS:
What is that?
ERIK: What did you think it
was when you first saw it?
THOMAS: I wondered if it was
like metal flakes or something.
That's exactly
the same impression I got.
TRAVIS:
However, we did extract
metallic fragments that,
when scientifically analyzed,
proved to be composed
of the same kinds
of materials that NASA uses
to protect the surface
of the space shuttle
during re-entry
into the atmosphere.
Let's get drilling.
- All right.
So this year,
after removing some boulders
from the base of the mesa
AARON:
It's going now.
TRAVIS:the team from
Straight Shot Drillers
came back out. But this time,
we had them aim for the top
of the believed
dome-shaped object.
Meanwhile, Dragon
and Kaleb Bench
hiked up the mesa
Okay. Hey, we can try it.
We got it here.
Let me get this sucker up again.
TRAVIS:and fed a snake
camera down through the boulders
to look for any of
the other anomalies
that could be in there.
BRYANT:
Whoa. Look at that pink stuff.
What in the hell is that?
You see that right there?
- KALEB: Oh, yeah. Right there.
BRYANT:
That doesn't look natural
or like it should be there.
Look at that.
We weren't sure what to make
of the pink substance,
so we had the video sent
to the University of Utah
for expert analysis.
ERIK: So,
he's hitting resistance right now.
THOMAS:
You can hear that.
Drill's hitting something hard.
- Oh, yeah.
What's going on, Thomas?
After drilling more
than 270 or 280 feet
of going through
sandstone like butter,
the drill has
encountered a hard object
that it cannot penetrate.
- Wow.
Just like last year,
the drill couldn't penetrate
the top of
the dome-shaped object either.
See? And we're
at 8,000 pounds of push.
Yeah.
- Hardly any rotation off of it,
so either my bit's broke off
or it's just spinning
on something smooth.
TRAVIS:
Aaron Blunt finally
had to call it quits and
retracted his drill bit.
We all expected it
to be severely damaged.
Getting this cleaned off.
These teeth are all
perfectly intact.
It's not missing a single tooth.
- Yeah.
THOMAS:
I mean, it
it looks like
it's in perfect condition.
What in the heck
could be covering
the surface of this anomaly?
It was like
some kind of force field
out of a science fiction movie.
Now, this is what
you guys imaged.
So, that's the pink rock
inside the mesa.
BRYANT: Yup.
- ERIK: The geology
geophysics guys are giving us
their best guess
based upon these images.
They have a couple
of opinions on this.
TRAVIS: When we got the report
back from the University of Utah
about the pink substance
in the mesa,
it was speculated that it
could contain zinc selenide.
That's a compound
that the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency,
or DARPA,
is currently experimenting with
for possible
cloaking applications
on a number of assets
for the United States
Department of Defense,
including soldiers' gear,
tanks and even fighter jets.
What could that mean about
what's buried inside the mesa?
ERIK:
Well, Jeremiah,
it's been a long time
in the making.
Yeah. Great to finally
be here in person.
Okay, I think we're good.
Go for launch.
TRAVIS: In order to get
to the bottom of the mesa
and the triangle,
Erik invited tech expert
Jeremiah Pate
and his team from Lunasonde
to perform an aerial
balloon radar scan
Fantastic.
TRAVIS:
that would not only
look all through
the anomalous zone
of the triangle, but image
the inside of the mesa.
Greetings, Jeremiah.
Thank you for joining.
Yeah, thank you, Brandon.
And hello, everyone.
TRAVIS:
It took Jeremiah several weeks
to process the data
from the mesa,
so we couldn't wait
to hear what he
and his team had to reveal.
You've got a room full of people
who are on
the edge of their seats,
waiting to see what
you've discovered.
JEREMIAH: Absolutely.
So here is a 2D rendering
seen from above
what we saw underground.
It definitely seems like
a tunnel type of structure.
It's actually stretching
into the mesa itself.
Wow.
JEREMIAH: This really
got our attention.
Yeah. - It's very,
very, uh, interesting.
So, these structures right here,
some of these are in
the order of 60 feet wide.
ERIK: 60
- BRYANT: What?
BRYANT: As big as this room.
- BRANDON: 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 lead me to
is some sort of tunnel
with a high metallic content.
TRAVIS: So,
we've encountered what we believe
is a 400-foot-long
dome-shaped metallic object
inside the mesa
that might be related
to spacecraft materials.
And now we've detected possible
massive metallic tunnels.
Could the crazy legends about
Skinwalker Ranch really be true?
Well, when we conducted
more complex experiments
at the triangle,
we were blown away
by the possible answer.
BRANDON:
Oh, my gosh.
What have we stumbled on?
Yeah.
SAM: All right, we're green.
JIM:
Yeah, we'll just be ready to go.
TRAVIS: In order to help
us get to the bottom of all
the phenomena that keeps
happening at the triangle,
we invited Jim Royston
and his amazing colleagues
from a company called OmniTeq
to help us conduct
a new high-tech experiment.
SAM:
Space station, start tracking.
All right.
Oh, there it is.
Tracking the space station now.
It's got it locked on?
- SAM: Yep.
TRAVIS: Our plan was to
use high-powered antennas
to lock onto a radio signal
from the International
Space Station
and track it
through the anomalous zone
as the space station
passed over the ranch.
Meanwhile, Jim would be
flying a cutting-edge
drone-based lidar device
to scan through
the anomalous zone
above the triangle
with infrared lasers.
So, if anything
broke our connection
with the space station's signal,
we hope that the lidar
would be able to see it
and confirm what it was.
Uh
TRAVIS: Are you getting it?
- No, it's not showing up right now.
TRAVIS: But just after
we made the connection
to the space station,
something strange cut it off.
Well, that's odd, isn't it?
Travis, we've got
something strong.
TRAVIS:
You have something?
What frequency?
So, well, it's at 1.6510.
TRAVIS: And then we detected
the 1.6 gigahertz signal.
SAM:
It's like a beacon.
TRAVIS:
If there is
something going on
right there now
'cause we're
having this problem,
I want to launch
a rocket through it.
BRYANT:
Let's do it.
You hot over there?
Yep, we're hot there.
TRAVIS: Everybody in
position for rocket launches?
Okay.
TRAVIS: There,
that's a beautiful launch.
JIM:
We caught it.
That was amazing.
It dispersed all the points
out really wide.
TRAVIS: Meaning that the lidar points
around it moved out of the way?
JIM:
Yeah.
What?
Jim Royston's lidar
captured images of the rocket
clearly passing through some
kind of invisible mass right at
about 31 feet high,
the same level we saw the blob.
But what was it?
I had some time
to start processing
and looking at it.
This is what we saw.
So, I'll plug this in
so you guys can see it.
- Want me to turn the TV on?
Yeah.
- There we go.
ERIK: Oh. Oh
- JIM: So
TRAVIS: That's the What's that spot?
- ERIK: What are we looking at?
TRAVIS:
The processed data
showed a black void
in the center of the triangle.
Can you zoom way out?
JIM:
Whoa.
Look at that.
That's interesting.
- Yeah.
It's-it's a shadow of something.
What-what are we looking at?
THOMAS:
A black hole? (chuckles)
TRAVIS:
It could be Well,
that could be
a shadow of a wormhole.
Could we have possibly captured
a lidar image of a wormhole?
If we did,
we needed to find
some way to confirm it.
THOMAS:
Five, four, three,
two, one.
Ooh!
- TRAVIS: Oh, that was so cool!
THOMAS:
They almost hit.
TRAVIS:
One week later,
while we launched
rockets vertically
and horizontally through the
anomalous zone of the triangle,
Brandon, Kaleb and Erik
flew in the helicopter
with Cameron so Erik
could scan the triangle
with a spectrum analyzer
for any tell-tale evidence.
Wait, Thomas, look.
Right-right there. Right there.
Right-right above the horizon.
Although we did capture
a large UAP in the sky
I have some video footage
taken from the vantage point
of the helicopter
that we all need to get eyes on,
and you'll see why.
TRAVIS:we were really
shocked by what Erik found
in the footage collected
by a camera that was
mounted on Brandon's helicopter.
Are you seeing it, Thomas?
- Whoa.
Okay, look, look, look.
- TRAVIS: Look at that.
ERIK: Look right there.
This is the feature of interest.
Right. I'm seeing it.
TRAVIS:
Oh.
BRANDON:
Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
It went behind the mesa.
BRYANT:
Where'd it go?
Did it go right behind the mesa?
Yes. And on closer inspection,
it appears as if there's
a corresponding light
and illuminated area
on the mesa itself.
Watch what happens
as we play through.
Oh, right there.
- BRANDON: Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
- There it goes.
Oh, my gosh.
TRAVIS:
We all saw it.
A UAP clearly entered the top
of the mesa in the east field,
and then re-emerged
from the front of the mesa
right at the triangle.
Did we really see
what Indigenous people
have claimed for generations?
A UAP traversing
through an actual wormhole?
Well, it led us to conduct
our most complex experiment
yet in order to prove it,
and the results went
beyond what we expected.
ERIK: Travis,
I'm set up over here,
so how are you doing over there?
TRAVIS:
Uh, everything's set up here.
Allen, you guys good?
Dave, you guys good?
Yeah, we're armed and ready.
TRAVIS: After all the unique
experiments we conducted
this year at the triangle,
each of which produced
bizarre and varied phenomena,
before we suspended our
investigation for the winter,
we decided to combine
a bunch of technologies
and poke this hot spot
harder than ever before
to get answers related
to the energy spikes,
the UAPs and try to
answer whether or not
wormholes really exist
on Skinwalker Ranch.
Tim, I say we go ahead
and bring the lasers up.
TIM: Lasers up.
- TRAVIS: Lasers are up.
The experiment included
an array of lasers
that scanned the anomalous zone
while broadcasting an audio file
of the Blazing Bear song ritual.
Everything's ready.
Drones are armed.
A swarm of
250 illuminated drones
programmed to, once again,
fly in formation
up to the 300-foot level
One here?
- Yeah, just, uh, ground it here.
TRAVIS:as well as
several rounds of rockets
equipped with increasing power
so that we could reach
higher and higher altitudes
within the anomalous zone
throughout the operation.
And, of course,
we were also filming
this mega-experiment
with thermal cameras.
Okay, I've got
eyes on the flare.
All right, we are
going hot with the rockets.
ALLEN:
We got all six hot.
TRAVIS:
Here we go in five,
four, three, two, one.
Where are the others?
What's going on?
THOMAS:
Well, that was weird.
TRAVIS: As soon as
the experiment started,
things got strange.
When we triggered the rockets,
which were initially set
to launch simultaneously,
they mysteriously
took off one at a time
and appeared
to be deflected off course
right at the 31-foot blob level.
TRAVIS:
Anything in the FLIR?
ERIK:
Oh, wow.
Uh, yeah.
TRAVIS: You did see
something in the FLIR?
Yep, moving up here
from the center up towards
the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
- Oh, what is that?
Then Erik saw a UAP in the sky
that appeared on
the FLIR thermal camera.
All right, drones are going,
drones are going.
Oh, fantastic.
TRAVIS:
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
TRAVIS:
Wow, look at that.
They're going up
in, uh, two layers.
ERIK:
That's just spectacular.
We got one that's
hung out over here.
ERIK:
Look at that.
What's that one doing?
I don't know.
Preston, I got one coming down.
TRAVIS:
And when the drones ascended
up to the 300-foot level,
first one,
and then several others
fell out of formation
Now a third one's falling out.
A fourth one.
as if something
was pushing them around.
It was just like what happened
during the first drone
experiment earlier in the year,
and when Brandon's helicopter
got jostled around in midair.
ALLEN: We are clear, clear, clear.
- TRAVIS: Ready?
All right, there's gonna
be a staggered launch in five,
four, three, two,
one.
Get it.
- Wow.
Those crisscrossed
right through the middle,
that one went way north
KALEB: Hey,
do we have an airplane up north?
I'm looking, I don't see it.
Because I got something
in the FLIR right here.
What? Something in the FLIR?
- Right here.
Yup, there is
something in the FLIR.
KALEB: The moment we launched,
it popped up right in here.
TRAVIS:
We have an object in the FLIR.
It's, uh,
a hot object in the sky,
probably a hundred feet
over the mesa.
The strange events continued
throughout the night
KALEB: Hey,
we got something on the FLIR.
We got something on the FLIR.
- What do you got?
TRAVIS:
including one UAP
that seemed to morph into
several smaller ones.
KALEB: When one of the
rockets went right there,
it went from a line
into many bright lights.
ERIK:
Wow.
I could be convinced that we're
looking at something
formation flying.
TRAVIS:
Seriously?
During this experiment,
we also documented
repeated phenomena
at the 31-foot level,
as well as the 300-foot level,
and we saw numerous UAPs.
Whoa-whoa-whoa. Look.
What we got here?
Over here.
Once again, we got repeated data
at multiple points
above the triangle.
And they all point to something
extraordinary going on there.
ERIK: We're seeing things that
are very hard for us to explain
over the ranch,
and I can't help but wonder
whether we are, in fact,
dealing with
something technological.
We have to continue searching.
BRANDON:
We are dealing with forces
that are powerful and yet to be
explained or understood.
The deeper down
the rabbit hole that we travel,
the more complex
that it appears.
TRAVIS: With everything
our team experienced this year,
I'd like to think we're close
to the ultimate answers
behind all
the phenomena out here.
But given all the questions
that clearly still exist,
I think it's more likely
that we are just getting started
uncovering the true secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
