The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) s05e02 Episode Script
Holy Cow
1
This is unlike any
experiment we've done before.
We're gonna have two
helicopters flying over the triangle
sending signals back and forth.
What I'm going to show
you was during the flight.
- Lord, have mercy.
- That's on the ground.
It looks like the other uap
that came out of the mesa.
- Bingo.
- That's amazing.
There is a ranch in northern Utah.
It is considered the epicenter
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:
Animal mutilations, bizarre ufo sightings
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
For 20 years, the federal government
tried to find answers and failed.
Now a new team of dedicated scientists,
researchers and experts has taken over.
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal
the secret of skin walker ranch.
Hey, guys, what are we looking at today?
We're looking for a relationship
between two things, okay?
So last week, you know,
we captured this object here
during the course of the experiment
with the two helicopters.
Yeah.
That's the first one and
You remember that
light that seemed to go
into the mesa and then come
out right here on the property?
That uap that looked like
- it came out of the mesa?
- Yeah.
Both of them seemed to be
headed towards the triangle.
After our dual-helicopter experiment
above the triangle last week,
led us to capturing video
of a stunning orb-like uap
Erik bard realized that
it looked very similar
to something we documented last year.
A uap entered the mesa in the east field
and then exited the
mesa right near the triangle
as if it had traveled
straight through solid rock.
And Erik also noticed that in both cases,
these uaps were headed
right toward the triangle
where we've documented
more phenomena
than anywhere else
on skin walker ranch.
So we'd really love to
figure out the connection
between these mesa
entry and exit points
and the triangle.
I think it's worthwhile to
take a look at that video again
- from last year.
- I agree.
I'm gonna take us forward
to the portion of the video
where we start to see the light.
So right there.
See, this is where it went in.
That's right above the east canyon,
close to the petroglyph.
I-I think I agree with you, Kaleb.
I mean, it puts it right there in that spot.
That's a really interesting area.
Yep.
There's a long history of these stories
denoting some type of portal
here on skin walker ranch.
Even some suggesting
that the petroglyph
from the east canyon's
area is related to a portal.
So, based on the evidence that we have,
I think we have to
leave open the possibility
that some of these tales that
we've heard about this area
and portals could be true.
At this point, it's way
more than a coincidence.
Okay. We'll continue.
So, the next frame here is
- when it comes out.
- Right.
Right there.
Look how close to the triangle it is.
Yes.
I mean, that is not far
at all from the triangle.
No. That's right on the road that we use
- every day to come over.
- Yeah.
And in this perspective,
it is absolutely moving
toward the triangle.
Right.
I mean, it really
looks like it is traveling to that spot.
- Yeah.
- Just like that other uap.
- Exactly.
- Wow.
I think what we got
here is a rough estimate
that it went in somewhere
near the petroglyph,
and then came out
of the face of the mesa
on the triangle side.
So this is actually a
fractional piece of evidence
that suggests the mesa and the triangle
are connected somehow.
Right?
I can't help but think
about people in this area
living here for generations,
talking about seeing things
coming in and out of the mesa, too.
And-and this is that exact area.
So now that we have
a general idea of where
the entrance point and
where the exit point is,
what's the next step?
I have an idea.
So what if
We go out in the east field to the mesa
and bombard it
with a signal that we can easily measure.
Maybe we send the 1.6 gigahertz at it.
And then we go out to the mesa
on the triangle side with the receivers
and see if we see that signal
coming out of the face of the mesa
right there by the triangle.
Yeah.
To test the native American legends
about portals on skin walker ranch,
my idea was to use a signal generator
to broadcast a strange
1.6 gigahertz radio signal
that we've recorded
during past experiments
into the in point where we saw the uap
entering the mesa last year,
which is also the same spot
where that petroglyph is located.
And then Erik will have a signal receiver
at the out point where
the uap exited the mesa
and flew towards the triangle.
Now here's the thing.
Due to the long distance between us,
Erik's receiver should not be able
to detect my transmission.
So if he does receive it,
that could mean some
kind of direct passageway
through the solid rock mesa
like a portal made it possible.
It's a worthwhile experiment
to see what happens.
Okay. Well, it sounds like we've got a lot
to get going to try and figure this out.
Yeah.
- Okay. Great.
- Good.
We'll get boots on the ground
right now and find the spots.
Welcome back.
Thanks. It's great to see you.
It's good to have you out.
While the team are
preparing for the experiment,
we have Ben woodruff
with us at the ranch.
He's a biologist at the
hutchings museum institute.
We have some samples
that we'd love you to take a look at,
as a biologist.
We reached out to him
because we observed some
really strange things happening
with life and even death on the property.
We had a cow that
went down last October.
Really kind of mysterious.
There were no indications
that there were any, any
health problems with that animal.
- And it just went down.
- And it just went down, yeah.
Yeah.
We'll get a chance for you
to really get your eyes on it,
put your mind on it and see
what sort of insights
you can share with us.
Sounds great. Yeah.
Meanwhile we've got
a couple of birds we want
you to look at that are dead.
Yeah, they're partially
decomp but not heavily.
That's a strange thing here.
Why is it that some things on the ranch
die and decompose normally
and some, they just don't decompose?
- Yeah.
- Well, let's go check it out.
Yeah, I'd love to take a look.
- All right.
- Lead the way. - Yeah.
I say it would be almost 100% fair
to say there's some biological
anomaly going on here
that's slowing down the
process of normal decomposition.
- Okay.
- Yep.
And with Ben on
board, he would be great
to show us what should be the norm
of the time frame of which
something should decompose versus
something completely off the Mark.
The grosbeak's the one that's been dead
for about two, two and half weeks, yeah.
- Okay.
- A little more decomposition.
And then this is,
- I think it's a starling.
- Yeah.
When I first saw it, it looked like
something had gotten into its, brain.
So, when did you find the starling,
and when did you find the grosbeak?
The starling I found about
A week and a half ago.
The grosbeak was two weeks,
two and a half weeks now,
and I would have thought somebody
or something would
have dragged it off by now.
Yeah. Yeah.
'Cause there's, there's no waste in
- No waste in nature.
- Right.
Usually there's always something
that wants to come along and eat it.
Even the sun plays a role.
That's what's really interesting, is
the sun starts to break down the follicle
where the feather attaches
and the feathers start to just come out.
And that hasn't happened either.
How long does that typically take?
No more than a week.
- Okay.
- Because on the inside,
you should have microbes
and flies and maggots
and dermestid beetles
breaking down the inside,
and so that separates the
skin, and then the feathers
hit the sun, they
they just give up and come apart.
Let's take a look.
On the starling
There's no evidence of maggots
or dermestid beetles at all.
The muscle tissue is squishy.
The keel bone is intact.
So nothing has eaten
the inside of this bird.
Which makes no sense.
This should be a mummy
or it should be rotted.
And it's not.
But the brain is gone.
That is not normal.
When I first saw it,
it was just lying there
with its brain missing.
That is not normal.
Wow.
I've never seen an animal
just missing its brain.
Nothing else was wrong with this bird.
You couldn't really see anything.
Everything else seemed to be intact.
These animals, they aren't decomposing
in a natural way on the
ranch, and this is something
we've noticed over the
years of this investigation.
The grosbeak, and this
one's older you said?
- Yeah.
- Yep.
This one
So there's a lot of blood around the beak,
but the eyes are intact.
And feeling on it
I'd-I'd have to look at
this under a microscope.
But the keel bone, right here on a bird,
ends right here at the bottom
of the sternum, and you can feel
where the viscera, or the guts, are.,
- and all of that is still intact
- It's still there?
On both of these birds.
That's the first thing
to decompose on an animal, usually,
because it's soft tissue.
I mean, you can see it.
I'm pushing on it. It's still squishy.
Wild.
So, this is interesting
'cause this kind of
breaks both of our rules.
Things should decompose.
- Yeah.
- It dries out.
With this heat, there's no
way that this can be as it is.
That's impossible. Rigor mortis sets in.
Okay.
Tissue dries out, the
collagens start to break down,
and it rots and disintegrates.
This is what's scarier to me.
Why do you have an animal
that's been dead that long
that's still soft to the
touch and still squishy?
Yeah, it is wild.
You should have a cat, a fox, a coyote
There's no shortage of
scavengers on this property.
- No, so why have they
- No, no, they're everywhere.
That's a really good point,
because that's the
other part of the equation.
Yes.
Is why aren't they doing their job?
It seems like something's off if the birds
have just remained in
place this whole time.
There's something uncanny
and just unsettling about
when mother nature
doesn't do what you expect.
And that's what's spinning us here,
is that there's just something going on
that doesn't make sense.
This is really fascinating.
Well, I'm hoping by taking
these back to the lab,
we can get some better results
- and hopefully get some answers.
- Great.
Well, maybe we should go
back and check out the dead cow.
Sounds good. Yeah,
let's go take a look at him.
The dead cow that
we're looking at with Ben,
we don't know what
caused this cow to die.
Thomas just happened upon it,
but he did note that there was no blood
and that it didn't look
like it had been attacked.
Let's head on over.
Just another strange occurrence
here on skin walker ranch.
Well, there's not much left, is there?
You know, I was expecting
to see only dry bone,
but I guess there is a little bit
of that soft tissue left there.
When was it that this cow died again?
You know, it's been
about six months ago.
Okay.
But you don't know why it died?
No.
So, you've had
that amount of time of solar radiation
hitting what's left here,
but you still have wet tissue.
I was not expecting this at all.
Usually, when an animal dies,
there's stages of decomposition
that should happen, and
they don't happen here.
What's really strange about this
is the posture, the entire spine
and all the cervical vertebrae,
the head are all intact.
Here's what I want to know:
Why is the stomach over here?
Look how big this was. All of this,
this is this was all
what was being eaten. That's all grasses
and plants that are mashed down.
Totally separate.
What took that and put it here?
It could've been dragged.
- Look at these tooth marks
- Yeah.
On these ribs and on that scapula.
It would have to be larger than a wolf
to be dragging an entire
bovid carcass even that far.
But the ribs, I mean, these
all show the teeth marks.
And this Look at this one though.
What are you seeing?
That is a tooth that
bit all the way through.
Look on the other side here.
It's shattered out the other side.
See how that other side is shattered out?
Wow, yeah.
- That's a lot of force.
- That's a big canine.
I'm just going to take it off.
If you look at how thick this rib is,
the force that it takes to go through that,
I mean, that would break my teeth
if I was trying to do that.
All these other bites that you see,
these, I can see scavengers doing.
But this, the force that it
takes to go through that,
well, that is a big powerful
canine that's very pointy.
- So, what kind of animal is that?
- I don't know.
This is not a species that
I have ever seen in Utah.
I think these samples are really good.
I'm going to take these back to
the hutchings museum institute,
we'll take a look over 'em.
- All right.
- Fantastic.
The bite marks put in the
ribs of that cow carcass
resembled those that
might've been inflicted by
a large animal.
I'm really interested
in what Ben can tell us
after he's had a chance to
examine this rib bone,
in particular, in his lab.
All right, let's head out.
Okay, that goes on the bottom.
This one is gonna go here.
The next day, we were all set up with
an array of equipment to conduct
our new "in and out" experiment
at the mesa between the east field
and the triangle.
What I'm setting up here, Kaleb,
is, one spectrum analyzer.
While Kaleb and I got stationed
near the in point in the east field,
Erik, along with dragon,
Jim royston and Sam
deriso were operating from
the out point near the triangle.
The plan was that I would
use a signal generator
to broadcast the 1.6
gigahertz radio frequency
at the in point to see if Erik could actually
receive it on an antenna
that he had aimed
at the out point.
Again, it should not be possible for Erik
to detect the signal
and that distance with our equipment,
especially through solid rock.
So, if we're successful,
that would be our first clue that there is
some kind of passageway
through the mesa where we saw the uap
travel in and out last year.
Okay, we're set on power.
All right, very nice.
Meanwhile, Jim royston
will be flying his infrared lidar drone,
which will also be
equipped with a GPS device,
back and forth above the in and out path
to scan for any phenomena
that we might not be able to see
with the naked eye.
Yo, we gotta set up
the high-speed cameras.
Finally, at both locations
we'll have multiple
high-speed cameras rolling
and an array of sensor devices
monitoring for anything
strange that might pop up.
Let's see.
What was that?
Where's that coming from? Is that me?
Yeah, I guess that
where's that coming from?
Is that mine?
Let's see.
There's something happening right now.
Holy crap. Look at this.
You see this right
here? Look at that, look.
We've got a 1.6
gigahertz signal right now
that's in that's-that's pulsing.
I hadn't even started broadcasting
my 1.6 gigahertz signal yet,
when all of a sudden, I started receiving
a different signal at the same frequency
on my spectrum analyzer.
Look at that, it's the
one that we got before.
That 1.6 gigahertz
communication signal.
And the sporadic
pattern of how that signal
was being received
was just like one that we detected
a couple of years ago at homestead two,
which Erik and I thought looked
like a communication signal.
So, what or who was sending it?
I'm thinking morse
code, like you're sending
Well, that's not morse code.
That's-that's like a very complex signal.
That would be encrypted, even.
I think it's two things
talking to each other.
That is crazy.
I think it's two things
talking to each other.
You hear it? You hear it?
There's one that's just a
little bit to the left of 1.6,
and one that's a little to the right.
They're gibbering back
and forth right here.
You can see those signals
reflected in the waterfall.
Look at that pattern.
It's like they're alternating.
Yep, sure is.
Just as I was about
to begin broadcasting
my 1.6 gigahertz radio
signal at the so-called
in point of the mesa to see
if it would travel through it
and over to where Erik
was set up at the out point,
my spectrum analyzer picked
up a completely different signal.
It looked similar to
a possible communications signal that
we recorded in the past
over near homestead two.
But it was a lot creepier.
Hey, dragon, this is Kaleb. Do you copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Kaleb.
Hey, Travis is picking
up something on his
spectrum analyzer here.
What frequency are you picking up?
Hey, dragon, it's like two different signals
talking to each other at 1.6 gigahertz.
Have y'all seen anything like that?
Do you see anything like that, Erik?
Let me dive in.
So, they're centered at 1.6 gigahertz,
and one's just to the right of it
and one's just to the left of it.
- No.
- Copy that.
I don't think we're seeing
anything remotely like that.
It's really strong,
so I'm surprised you can't see it.
That is strange.
The triangle is living up
to its reputation right now.
Copy that.
Yeah, I'm getting a
little nervous out here.
So, the sooner we start the better.
Okay.
So, we need to get them
to do their broadcasting?
- Or is he gonna fly first?
- No. No, we're gonna do a control run.
Let them know they've
got a bird coming over head.
Hey, Travis we are going to fly
a test mission. We just
wanted to let you know
there's gonna be a bird coming over you.
Copy that.
Whenever you're ready, fire it up.
- Good to go?
- We're good to go.
Three, two, one.
We're going to start the
experiment with a practice run.
Jim royston will be flying his lidar drone
between the in and
out points of the mesa.
The question is whether the lidar,
the GPS or the drone itself
will detect any strange readings
or interruptions along the way.
So, this is all automated?
You've set the path?
Yes. Yep, so this will have a path,
it's going to stay right at 300 feet.
Erik will track this path
and see, really, what's happening,
potentially, at that entrance or exit.
- That's fantastic.
- Yep.
Look it.
It's-it's kind of It's kind of quit.
Where'd it go?
Yeah, it's flat right now.
I mean, nothing.
So, Jim, how fast is this drone moving?
So, we're gonna do about 12-point
We're rtk red.
So, right now, the drone
and the bay station is
having trouble communicating.
That error came right
over where we think that orb
exited out of the mesa.
Yeah.
We're in that anomalous area.
What happened, Erik?
There's a gap in the data
right where he called
out controller interference.
There's something there.
Yeah, I'm running into
interference there, guys.
Wow.
Return to home.
Guys, we just, we fully lost it.
- What happened?
- It's returning to home.
The aircraft completely disconnected.
So, there's something out
there messing with GPS.
- Is that correct?
- That's absolutely correct, Erik.
It's headed back.
- It's going right over the spire.
- Holy crap.
What a look at this.
Right when you said
that, a-a pulse showed up.
There it is.
And it just turned off.
This was really curious.
After not seeing the
strange 1.6 gigahertz signal
for several minutes, it showed up again
on my spectrum
analyzer just as the drone
passed directly through the spot
where we identified a 300-foot-tall spire,
or column-shaped
anomaly, two years ago
during a previous photogrammetry scan.
And this was right near the petroglyph
in the east field canyon
that supposedly depicts a portal.
All right, guys, so it's coming home.
I want your eyes on this.
- Wow. Look at that gap.
- My gosh.
The same spot as the
photogrammetry's spire.
That seems more than
a coincidence to me.
I agree.
Dragon?
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Right when the drone
flew through the, spire,
you know, the photogrammetry anomaly.
Well, that correlates with what we saw.
With the real-time
data that Erik was taking
off of the lidar drone.
I agree.
So, what are we gonna do next?
We-we're ready to start the experiment
with the, broadcast or
whatever you guys want to do,
just tell Erik to let us know.
Yeah, let's fire it up. Let's go.
Hey, Travis,
we're gonna go ahead
and start things up.
All right, we're running the
instruments. We're ready to go.
After receiving that weird
1.6 gigahertz communication signal,
and then Jim getting
the drone interference
right at the column-shaped anomaly,
I wanted to start broadcasting my own
1.6 gigahertz signal through the in point
to see if Erik would be able
to receive it at the out point.
Again, if the signal goes through,
which shouldn't be possible,
it would be evidence that something
totally out of the ordinary
is allowing the signal to
pass through the mesa.
Three, two, one.
All right, Travis,
go ahead and start broadcasting.
I'm at 1.6 gigahertz,
and I'm starting broadcasting
in three, two, one.
Why did I just see peaks come up?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Can you tell him to turn it off again?
Hey, Travis, do you mind turning that off?
Copy that. We're gonna turn it off
in three, two, one.
It is off.
Whoa.
Yeah, so, we are picking up
when he's turning things on and off.
Hey, Travis, this is really interesting.
We definitely had some signal that
correlated with your countdown.
- Whoa.
- We shouldn't be.
You guys are picking up
signal through the mesa.
We shouldn't be.
Now let's have him turn it on again.
Okay, can you go ahead
and turn it back on again?
It is on.
Now, normally,
we should get absolutely
nothing through the rock.
Our little rf signal generator
is just not strong enough to be detected
over the distances involved,
especially with a big mesa in the way.
There appears to be
something connecting
these two locations in
the east canyon area and
this area that's facing the triangle.
Hey, Travis, we're gonna go ahead
and fly the drone mission
Copy that.
Three, two, one.
After Erik was able to receive
my 1.6 gigahertz
signal through the mesa,
between the in and out points,
it was really important for Jim royston
to keep conducting lidar scans
along that path to see
if he can image anything
on infrared that we couldn't
see with the naked eye.
Okay, we're getting
good signal now, as you can see.
- I just saw a
- Yeah.
I just saw a glitch there.
Yeah, this time on ascent,
it looks like it was headed
off towards the south,
even though I know
it went just straight up.
It was really strange
when the GPS device on the drone
that Jim royston deployed collected data
indicating that the
drone flew to the south
because they saw it lift
straight up off the ground.
So, what was redirecting that data?
And could it have been related
to the communications
signal that I detected?
Here we go, controller
interference again.
Similar spot, right?
I want your eyes on this.
- Look right there.
- Look at that.
- Wow. Look at that gap.
- My gosh.
We-we've run into interference
in that spot before.
There's a gap in the data right where
he called out controller interference.
That's crazy.
Same exact spot.
There's something there.
That is so unexpected.
And then, when Jim's drone
encountered major interference,
right when it flew over
the spot where we detected
the column-shaped
anomaly two years ago,
we were all on edge about
what might happen next
between the in and out points.
Hey, keep an eye out
for the drone, Kaleb.
- Yep, its coming.
- Yeah, I see it.
Yeah, it coming over us right now.
I'll jump on that high-speed
camera and watch it.
Yeah, watch it with the
high-speed camera. That's good.
Its turning around and coming back.
It just stopped, and it's
going the other way now.
I'm surprised by that.
Yeah, so I don't know if
that's them doing it or
It's going back and
forth. What is going on?
Yeah.
- What's it doing?
- What is the drone doing?
What's the drone doing?
It's gonna calibrate right now.
- It's all over the place.
- It should be
in a straight line calibration,
- which you've seen many times, Erik.
- No, it's not
It looks like it's going in circles.
And to confirm, they are broadcasting
that 1.6 signal
- now, right? Okay.
- That is correct.
Okay, now it's turning
south, it looks like to me.
Yeah.
Where's it going?
Stand by, I have a warning on the rtk.
What in the hell is Look at this.
Here it comes.
Now it should be coming straight.
Yeah, it's moving around
erratically, it looks like.
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
Are you kidding me?
No, look. Look at his GPS data.
I'm still getting warnings right now.
Here, I'm getting them
right in the same spot again.
And I've-I've got a gap in the data again.
Unbelievable.
When we finally get
the drone up in the air,
we're going on this
path and, believe it or not,
almost instantaneously
we start having trouble
with the drone going a little kind of crazy.
All of a sudden, it really was like
I literally have no control.
I've never seen where I
lose control to my drone.
How does that happen?
Now it looks like it's coming back.
Yeah, I'm green now.
I'm back green.
Good GPS signal, everything's good.
Yeah, and I'm back up.
And you guys are seeing it
on the screen here with me.
Hey, Travis, do you copy?
Yeah, dragon, I copy.
If you want to go ahead
and stop your broadcast,
you can go ahead and do that.
We have a drone coming in.
Did you see anything on the
spectrum analyzer at all, or?
Nothing, just, nothing's jumping out.
- Well, what can we do, Erik?
- Just start shutting stuff down?
- Yeah, I'm ready to shut down.
- Okay.
We got a lot of data to take a look at.
All right, let's do it.
All right, man.
All right, I say we break down.
In the moment, this experiment
definitely indicated
that there is some kind of
phenomenal connection
between the east field,
or in point, and the out
point near the triangle.
So, what could that connection really be?
And, also, why did we detect
a possible communication
signal during this experiment?
So, how is that signal
getting through the mesa
and coming out here
that you can detect?
It did appear that there
were times when you were on,
and we-we saw something
persistent enough
that we could all get eyes on.
It's almost like the mesa's
acting like a wave guide
or an antenna or something
and just channeling it here to you.
- Yeah.
- Well, I say we wrap up,
I-I guess, and see what
all this data shows us.
Heck yeah. We'll review it
back at the command center.
- Okay.
- All right.
Can't wait to find out.
- Hey, Erik.
- Hey, guys. Hey.
- What's going on?
- You're gonna like this.
So, I'm-I'm looking at, all the data
that we collected during
that in and out experiment.
After our experiment yesterday,
where we successfully transmitted
the 1.6 gigahertz
signal through the mesa
between the so-called
in point in the east field
and the out point near the triangle,
and we also detected
some kind of strange
communication signal,
we couldn't wait to see what
else Erik might have found
once he processed all the
other data that we had collected.
So, I want to take us
to the high-speed video
footage that you guys
got out in the in the,
east field canyon area.
Yeah. Yeah, so we were sitting
right in front of the petroglyph.
I created this filter
so that I could bring
out some of the detail.
Okay, so this is all on
the high-speed camera.
- It's looking straight at the triangle.
- Yes.
So we've got an event here.
Wow.
What is that?
Is that the drone?
This is moving a lot faster.
Wow, what is that?
Let's dive in on that.
Yeah, look at that.
Play it moving. Let's see
if there's anything like
- Wings or anything on it.
- Right.
Doesn't look like it, does it?
No.
I don't see any recognizable
features. You know,
like, you know, propellers,
wings, as you mentioned.
And it's not a water droplet on the lens.
- No, it was dry as a bone out there.
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It hadn't rained or anything.
Also, that's where all
that missing data's at.
Right.
Wow.
This just goes to show that we can't have
enough high-tech equipment
and cameras during all
of our experiments here
on skin walker ranch.
Right where Jim royston's
drone experienced GPS errors
and something
interfered with his controls
between the so-called "in
and out" points yesterday,
our high-speed camera recorded a uap.
So, what was this thing?
And was it responsible
for those anomalies
or even the 1.6-gigahertz
communication signal
we detected that was separate
from the one that I was
broadcasting over to Erik?
So, did you guys happen
to notice a-anything
I don't recall ever
seeing anything like that.
Okay, well, we've got more of 'em.
- Really?
- Yeah, so
There's a second clip that
I want to share with you.
So we've got an event here.
You see the Mark here?
Yeah.
Wow!
What is that thing
that flew into the mesa?
I have no idea what this is.
All right, so we're in the east field
by the canyon.
Right? We're probably
less than 30 meters,
maybe 50 meters from Pete
Kelsey's photogrammetry anomaly.
And you can see the petroglyph is
right there in front of Kaleb.
That's the petroglyph right there. Right?
And we're looking back,
southwest toward the triangle.
- Which would be over-over here.
- Right over there.
So, what we actually
did catch doesn't belong.
I mean, look at that thing.
It's-it's unbelievable.
- That's crazy.
- This area has become
extremely interesting,
especially now that we've seen
what appears to be a uap
entering into the mesa
near the petroglyph.
I don't know what this was,
but it's not like some of the other things
that we know are in the sky.
This was definitely different.
We need to figure out what that was
and what we need to do about it.
That one's interesting, and we need to do
- more video analysis on it.
- Yeah.
Wait till you see what else I've got.
So, here, you've
repositioned the camera.
We wanted more of
the sky, so in case we
there was something else out there
that we couldn't see or something.
So this is the contrast enhancement.
All right.
We have the original footage here
we're gonna take a look at.
We've got something going on over here.
- Yeah, there it is up there.
- There it is.
So let's just watch this thing move.
And, again, it's daytime.
We're not seeing a satellite,
and it's not a airplane moving that fast.
Now let me show you
where it comes into the frame.
I don't remember ever seeing
anything in the sky like that.
So, at around the 2:30
Mark, this thing emerges.
You'll see it on the left-hand side.
I'm looking.
- Right there, up on the top.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got it?
- Yeah, look at that.
- All right,
so I'm gonna dive in on
the contrast enhancement.
All right, so keep in mind it's going
seven and a half times faster.
- Now, one of the things that stands out
- look, there's something.
It looks like there's something
under it. Moving with it.,
and then what's this thing
at the bottom coming up?
- You see what's happening here?
- Yeah, you got three things
on the camera. Four
things! There's one over here.
Here. Here.
Yeah, you got three
things on the camera.
Four things! There's one over here.
It was shocking to all of us
that our high-speed camera
recorded multiple uaps
in the air during our
experiment yesterday
at the "in and out" points
between the east field and the triangle.
Is it possible that they
came out of the mesa?
And could that be why
we detected what we think
might be a communication
signal at the "in" point?
Yeah, let me freeze this,
and let's dive into each of these.
Look. Back up just a little bit, Erik.
So there's something here.
There's something here.
And there's something here.
Yeah.
And as you let it move forward,
you can see they're moving.
And they're not
necessarily moving together.
- Right.
- But they're moving at about
here's another piece right here.
Right, so we've got four
things in this one frame,
which is actually, you
know, zoomed-in on the
- On the footage.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's take a look. One of the things
that really stands out for me is this
very rectangular geometry,
the edge definition.
You know, this thing never takes on a
it never changes its appearance.
It always seems to be this rectangular,
dark-on-top, light-on-bottom,
- type of a feature.
- And I don't see
anything like wings flapping around at all.
Yeah, I sure don't either.
And it's moving like an aircraft or,
something but much faster.
Now look at the change in direction.
And it sped up.
Look what's happening.
It's speeding way up.
And it seems to be diving.
But that's not all it's gonna do.
Watch what happens here.
It slows down.
So here's another point to make
both Kaleb and I were watching
- that drone intently.
- Yeah.
And he was tracking it
with the camera intently.
Yeah.
And this thing crosses
right there by the drone
and we don't see it.
- What is it?
- I want to show you what happens.
I found something in here at about 8:56.
Right there.
- I want to dive in.
- It's moving really fast,
whatever it is. 'Cause, remember,
that's seven and a half times
slower than it was actually moving.
Yeah, and what kind of features
do we recognize on this thing?
Do we see anything
that would suggest a bird?
I'm watching for, like,
wings or something.
I'm not seeing that.
Does some kind of, like,
"s" maneuver right there, it looks like.
And look at where this thing is.
- That's right over the triangle.
- Right.
That thing is basically
in the triangle airspace.
So it came from, you
know, the middle of nowhere,
swoops in, and then turns back.
Below cloud level and apparently down.
Like it's turning to make
a final approach here, like it's coming in
- for a landing or something.
- Yeah.
Seeing this uap suddenly appear
and then maneuver directly
above the triangle was incredible.
Because last year
- Look at that.
- That's interesting.
That's right where Jim
royston's lidar drone detected
a perfectly circular ring
with a black void in the center
that we've speculated could be related
to a wormhole or portal.
Could this uap appearing
at that location be evidence
that just might confirm our suspicions
and maybe validate all
the legends we've heard
about portals on skin walker ranch?
Now we're really finding hard evidence
that there's a absolute phenomena
- taking place here.
- That is
- a critical piece of data.
- I-I think we need
to plan our next experiment
out there that we can set up
- and reproduce all these things.
- Yeah. -Fantastic.
- Love it.
- All right, man.
- Great.
- We'll talk to you later, Erik.
Thanks, guys.
That's great stuff, Erik.
So exciting.
We have seen what may be uaps
or some objects in the sky
moving at fairly high rates of travel.
There are objects that
appear to be passing
directly into the mesa.
And as strange as that sounds,
it lines up exactly with things
that have been described to us
from the history of this property.
We can't dismiss it.
For decades, if not centuries,
skin walker ranch has
been home to legends
that are hard to
understand or even believe.
But we keep documenting phenomena
that just might prove
some of these legends
are based on reality.
So, as we continue applying science
to figure out what they
are and why they're here,
I wonder how our perception of reality
could be changed forever.
What lies within the mesa?
What is above the triangle?
Those priorities, those
tasks lie ahead of us.
We are proving the
reality of the phenomena.
We are on the cusp
of discovering the secret
of skin walker ranch.
This is unlike any
experiment we've done before.
We're gonna have two
helicopters flying over the triangle
sending signals back and forth.
What I'm going to show
you was during the flight.
- Lord, have mercy.
- That's on the ground.
It looks like the other uap
that came out of the mesa.
- Bingo.
- That's amazing.
There is a ranch in northern Utah.
It is considered the epicenter
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on earth:
Animal mutilations, bizarre ufo sightings
and unusual energies that
have proven harmful to humans.
For 20 years, the federal government
tried to find answers and failed.
Now a new team of dedicated scientists,
researchers and experts has taken over.
They are determined to
solve the mystery and reveal
the secret of skin walker ranch.
Hey, guys, what are we looking at today?
We're looking for a relationship
between two things, okay?
So last week, you know,
we captured this object here
during the course of the experiment
with the two helicopters.
Yeah.
That's the first one and
You remember that
light that seemed to go
into the mesa and then come
out right here on the property?
That uap that looked like
- it came out of the mesa?
- Yeah.
Both of them seemed to be
headed towards the triangle.
After our dual-helicopter experiment
above the triangle last week,
led us to capturing video
of a stunning orb-like uap
Erik bard realized that
it looked very similar
to something we documented last year.
A uap entered the mesa in the east field
and then exited the
mesa right near the triangle
as if it had traveled
straight through solid rock.
And Erik also noticed that in both cases,
these uaps were headed
right toward the triangle
where we've documented
more phenomena
than anywhere else
on skin walker ranch.
So we'd really love to
figure out the connection
between these mesa
entry and exit points
and the triangle.
I think it's worthwhile to
take a look at that video again
- from last year.
- I agree.
I'm gonna take us forward
to the portion of the video
where we start to see the light.
So right there.
See, this is where it went in.
That's right above the east canyon,
close to the petroglyph.
I-I think I agree with you, Kaleb.
I mean, it puts it right there in that spot.
That's a really interesting area.
Yep.
There's a long history of these stories
denoting some type of portal
here on skin walker ranch.
Even some suggesting
that the petroglyph
from the east canyon's
area is related to a portal.
So, based on the evidence that we have,
I think we have to
leave open the possibility
that some of these tales that
we've heard about this area
and portals could be true.
At this point, it's way
more than a coincidence.
Okay. We'll continue.
So, the next frame here is
- when it comes out.
- Right.
Right there.
Look how close to the triangle it is.
Yes.
I mean, that is not far
at all from the triangle.
No. That's right on the road that we use
- every day to come over.
- Yeah.
And in this perspective,
it is absolutely moving
toward the triangle.
Right.
I mean, it really
looks like it is traveling to that spot.
- Yeah.
- Just like that other uap.
- Exactly.
- Wow.
I think what we got
here is a rough estimate
that it went in somewhere
near the petroglyph,
and then came out
of the face of the mesa
on the triangle side.
So this is actually a
fractional piece of evidence
that suggests the mesa and the triangle
are connected somehow.
Right?
I can't help but think
about people in this area
living here for generations,
talking about seeing things
coming in and out of the mesa, too.
And-and this is that exact area.
So now that we have
a general idea of where
the entrance point and
where the exit point is,
what's the next step?
I have an idea.
So what if
We go out in the east field to the mesa
and bombard it
with a signal that we can easily measure.
Maybe we send the 1.6 gigahertz at it.
And then we go out to the mesa
on the triangle side with the receivers
and see if we see that signal
coming out of the face of the mesa
right there by the triangle.
Yeah.
To test the native American legends
about portals on skin walker ranch,
my idea was to use a signal generator
to broadcast a strange
1.6 gigahertz radio signal
that we've recorded
during past experiments
into the in point where we saw the uap
entering the mesa last year,
which is also the same spot
where that petroglyph is located.
And then Erik will have a signal receiver
at the out point where
the uap exited the mesa
and flew towards the triangle.
Now here's the thing.
Due to the long distance between us,
Erik's receiver should not be able
to detect my transmission.
So if he does receive it,
that could mean some
kind of direct passageway
through the solid rock mesa
like a portal made it possible.
It's a worthwhile experiment
to see what happens.
Okay. Well, it sounds like we've got a lot
to get going to try and figure this out.
Yeah.
- Okay. Great.
- Good.
We'll get boots on the ground
right now and find the spots.
Welcome back.
Thanks. It's great to see you.
It's good to have you out.
While the team are
preparing for the experiment,
we have Ben woodruff
with us at the ranch.
He's a biologist at the
hutchings museum institute.
We have some samples
that we'd love you to take a look at,
as a biologist.
We reached out to him
because we observed some
really strange things happening
with life and even death on the property.
We had a cow that
went down last October.
Really kind of mysterious.
There were no indications
that there were any, any
health problems with that animal.
- And it just went down.
- And it just went down, yeah.
Yeah.
We'll get a chance for you
to really get your eyes on it,
put your mind on it and see
what sort of insights
you can share with us.
Sounds great. Yeah.
Meanwhile we've got
a couple of birds we want
you to look at that are dead.
Yeah, they're partially
decomp but not heavily.
That's a strange thing here.
Why is it that some things on the ranch
die and decompose normally
and some, they just don't decompose?
- Yeah.
- Well, let's go check it out.
Yeah, I'd love to take a look.
- All right.
- Lead the way. - Yeah.
I say it would be almost 100% fair
to say there's some biological
anomaly going on here
that's slowing down the
process of normal decomposition.
- Okay.
- Yep.
And with Ben on
board, he would be great
to show us what should be the norm
of the time frame of which
something should decompose versus
something completely off the Mark.
The grosbeak's the one that's been dead
for about two, two and half weeks, yeah.
- Okay.
- A little more decomposition.
And then this is,
- I think it's a starling.
- Yeah.
When I first saw it, it looked like
something had gotten into its, brain.
So, when did you find the starling,
and when did you find the grosbeak?
The starling I found about
A week and a half ago.
The grosbeak was two weeks,
two and a half weeks now,
and I would have thought somebody
or something would
have dragged it off by now.
Yeah. Yeah.
'Cause there's, there's no waste in
- No waste in nature.
- Right.
Usually there's always something
that wants to come along and eat it.
Even the sun plays a role.
That's what's really interesting, is
the sun starts to break down the follicle
where the feather attaches
and the feathers start to just come out.
And that hasn't happened either.
How long does that typically take?
No more than a week.
- Okay.
- Because on the inside,
you should have microbes
and flies and maggots
and dermestid beetles
breaking down the inside,
and so that separates the
skin, and then the feathers
hit the sun, they
they just give up and come apart.
Let's take a look.
On the starling
There's no evidence of maggots
or dermestid beetles at all.
The muscle tissue is squishy.
The keel bone is intact.
So nothing has eaten
the inside of this bird.
Which makes no sense.
This should be a mummy
or it should be rotted.
And it's not.
But the brain is gone.
That is not normal.
When I first saw it,
it was just lying there
with its brain missing.
That is not normal.
Wow.
I've never seen an animal
just missing its brain.
Nothing else was wrong with this bird.
You couldn't really see anything.
Everything else seemed to be intact.
These animals, they aren't decomposing
in a natural way on the
ranch, and this is something
we've noticed over the
years of this investigation.
The grosbeak, and this
one's older you said?
- Yeah.
- Yep.
This one
So there's a lot of blood around the beak,
but the eyes are intact.
And feeling on it
I'd-I'd have to look at
this under a microscope.
But the keel bone, right here on a bird,
ends right here at the bottom
of the sternum, and you can feel
where the viscera, or the guts, are.,
- and all of that is still intact
- It's still there?
On both of these birds.
That's the first thing
to decompose on an animal, usually,
because it's soft tissue.
I mean, you can see it.
I'm pushing on it. It's still squishy.
Wild.
So, this is interesting
'cause this kind of
breaks both of our rules.
Things should decompose.
- Yeah.
- It dries out.
With this heat, there's no
way that this can be as it is.
That's impossible. Rigor mortis sets in.
Okay.
Tissue dries out, the
collagens start to break down,
and it rots and disintegrates.
This is what's scarier to me.
Why do you have an animal
that's been dead that long
that's still soft to the
touch and still squishy?
Yeah, it is wild.
You should have a cat, a fox, a coyote
There's no shortage of
scavengers on this property.
- No, so why have they
- No, no, they're everywhere.
That's a really good point,
because that's the
other part of the equation.
Yes.
Is why aren't they doing their job?
It seems like something's off if the birds
have just remained in
place this whole time.
There's something uncanny
and just unsettling about
when mother nature
doesn't do what you expect.
And that's what's spinning us here,
is that there's just something going on
that doesn't make sense.
This is really fascinating.
Well, I'm hoping by taking
these back to the lab,
we can get some better results
- and hopefully get some answers.
- Great.
Well, maybe we should go
back and check out the dead cow.
Sounds good. Yeah,
let's go take a look at him.
The dead cow that
we're looking at with Ben,
we don't know what
caused this cow to die.
Thomas just happened upon it,
but he did note that there was no blood
and that it didn't look
like it had been attacked.
Let's head on over.
Just another strange occurrence
here on skin walker ranch.
Well, there's not much left, is there?
You know, I was expecting
to see only dry bone,
but I guess there is a little bit
of that soft tissue left there.
When was it that this cow died again?
You know, it's been
about six months ago.
Okay.
But you don't know why it died?
No.
So, you've had
that amount of time of solar radiation
hitting what's left here,
but you still have wet tissue.
I was not expecting this at all.
Usually, when an animal dies,
there's stages of decomposition
that should happen, and
they don't happen here.
What's really strange about this
is the posture, the entire spine
and all the cervical vertebrae,
the head are all intact.
Here's what I want to know:
Why is the stomach over here?
Look how big this was. All of this,
this is this was all
what was being eaten. That's all grasses
and plants that are mashed down.
Totally separate.
What took that and put it here?
It could've been dragged.
- Look at these tooth marks
- Yeah.
On these ribs and on that scapula.
It would have to be larger than a wolf
to be dragging an entire
bovid carcass even that far.
But the ribs, I mean, these
all show the teeth marks.
And this Look at this one though.
What are you seeing?
That is a tooth that
bit all the way through.
Look on the other side here.
It's shattered out the other side.
See how that other side is shattered out?
Wow, yeah.
- That's a lot of force.
- That's a big canine.
I'm just going to take it off.
If you look at how thick this rib is,
the force that it takes to go through that,
I mean, that would break my teeth
if I was trying to do that.
All these other bites that you see,
these, I can see scavengers doing.
But this, the force that it
takes to go through that,
well, that is a big powerful
canine that's very pointy.
- So, what kind of animal is that?
- I don't know.
This is not a species that
I have ever seen in Utah.
I think these samples are really good.
I'm going to take these back to
the hutchings museum institute,
we'll take a look over 'em.
- All right.
- Fantastic.
The bite marks put in the
ribs of that cow carcass
resembled those that
might've been inflicted by
a large animal.
I'm really interested
in what Ben can tell us
after he's had a chance to
examine this rib bone,
in particular, in his lab.
All right, let's head out.
Okay, that goes on the bottom.
This one is gonna go here.
The next day, we were all set up with
an array of equipment to conduct
our new "in and out" experiment
at the mesa between the east field
and the triangle.
What I'm setting up here, Kaleb,
is, one spectrum analyzer.
While Kaleb and I got stationed
near the in point in the east field,
Erik, along with dragon,
Jim royston and Sam
deriso were operating from
the out point near the triangle.
The plan was that I would
use a signal generator
to broadcast the 1.6
gigahertz radio frequency
at the in point to see if Erik could actually
receive it on an antenna
that he had aimed
at the out point.
Again, it should not be possible for Erik
to detect the signal
and that distance with our equipment,
especially through solid rock.
So, if we're successful,
that would be our first clue that there is
some kind of passageway
through the mesa where we saw the uap
travel in and out last year.
Okay, we're set on power.
All right, very nice.
Meanwhile, Jim royston
will be flying his infrared lidar drone,
which will also be
equipped with a GPS device,
back and forth above the in and out path
to scan for any phenomena
that we might not be able to see
with the naked eye.
Yo, we gotta set up
the high-speed cameras.
Finally, at both locations
we'll have multiple
high-speed cameras rolling
and an array of sensor devices
monitoring for anything
strange that might pop up.
Let's see.
What was that?
Where's that coming from? Is that me?
Yeah, I guess that
where's that coming from?
Is that mine?
Let's see.
There's something happening right now.
Holy crap. Look at this.
You see this right
here? Look at that, look.
We've got a 1.6
gigahertz signal right now
that's in that's-that's pulsing.
I hadn't even started broadcasting
my 1.6 gigahertz signal yet,
when all of a sudden, I started receiving
a different signal at the same frequency
on my spectrum analyzer.
Look at that, it's the
one that we got before.
That 1.6 gigahertz
communication signal.
And the sporadic
pattern of how that signal
was being received
was just like one that we detected
a couple of years ago at homestead two,
which Erik and I thought looked
like a communication signal.
So, what or who was sending it?
I'm thinking morse
code, like you're sending
Well, that's not morse code.
That's-that's like a very complex signal.
That would be encrypted, even.
I think it's two things
talking to each other.
That is crazy.
I think it's two things
talking to each other.
You hear it? You hear it?
There's one that's just a
little bit to the left of 1.6,
and one that's a little to the right.
They're gibbering back
and forth right here.
You can see those signals
reflected in the waterfall.
Look at that pattern.
It's like they're alternating.
Yep, sure is.
Just as I was about
to begin broadcasting
my 1.6 gigahertz radio
signal at the so-called
in point of the mesa to see
if it would travel through it
and over to where Erik
was set up at the out point,
my spectrum analyzer picked
up a completely different signal.
It looked similar to
a possible communications signal that
we recorded in the past
over near homestead two.
But it was a lot creepier.
Hey, dragon, this is Kaleb. Do you copy?
Yeah, go ahead, Kaleb.
Hey, Travis is picking
up something on his
spectrum analyzer here.
What frequency are you picking up?
Hey, dragon, it's like two different signals
talking to each other at 1.6 gigahertz.
Have y'all seen anything like that?
Do you see anything like that, Erik?
Let me dive in.
So, they're centered at 1.6 gigahertz,
and one's just to the right of it
and one's just to the left of it.
- No.
- Copy that.
I don't think we're seeing
anything remotely like that.
It's really strong,
so I'm surprised you can't see it.
That is strange.
The triangle is living up
to its reputation right now.
Copy that.
Yeah, I'm getting a
little nervous out here.
So, the sooner we start the better.
Okay.
So, we need to get them
to do their broadcasting?
- Or is he gonna fly first?
- No. No, we're gonna do a control run.
Let them know they've
got a bird coming over head.
Hey, Travis we are going to fly
a test mission. We just
wanted to let you know
there's gonna be a bird coming over you.
Copy that.
Whenever you're ready, fire it up.
- Good to go?
- We're good to go.
Three, two, one.
We're going to start the
experiment with a practice run.
Jim royston will be flying his lidar drone
between the in and
out points of the mesa.
The question is whether the lidar,
the GPS or the drone itself
will detect any strange readings
or interruptions along the way.
So, this is all automated?
You've set the path?
Yes. Yep, so this will have a path,
it's going to stay right at 300 feet.
Erik will track this path
and see, really, what's happening,
potentially, at that entrance or exit.
- That's fantastic.
- Yep.
Look it.
It's-it's kind of It's kind of quit.
Where'd it go?
Yeah, it's flat right now.
I mean, nothing.
So, Jim, how fast is this drone moving?
So, we're gonna do about 12-point
We're rtk red.
So, right now, the drone
and the bay station is
having trouble communicating.
That error came right
over where we think that orb
exited out of the mesa.
Yeah.
We're in that anomalous area.
What happened, Erik?
There's a gap in the data
right where he called
out controller interference.
There's something there.
Yeah, I'm running into
interference there, guys.
Wow.
Return to home.
Guys, we just, we fully lost it.
- What happened?
- It's returning to home.
The aircraft completely disconnected.
So, there's something out
there messing with GPS.
- Is that correct?
- That's absolutely correct, Erik.
It's headed back.
- It's going right over the spire.
- Holy crap.
What a look at this.
Right when you said
that, a-a pulse showed up.
There it is.
And it just turned off.
This was really curious.
After not seeing the
strange 1.6 gigahertz signal
for several minutes, it showed up again
on my spectrum
analyzer just as the drone
passed directly through the spot
where we identified a 300-foot-tall spire,
or column-shaped
anomaly, two years ago
during a previous photogrammetry scan.
And this was right near the petroglyph
in the east field canyon
that supposedly depicts a portal.
All right, guys, so it's coming home.
I want your eyes on this.
- Wow. Look at that gap.
- My gosh.
The same spot as the
photogrammetry's spire.
That seems more than
a coincidence to me.
I agree.
Dragon?
Yeah, go ahead, Travis.
Right when the drone
flew through the, spire,
you know, the photogrammetry anomaly.
Well, that correlates with what we saw.
With the real-time
data that Erik was taking
off of the lidar drone.
I agree.
So, what are we gonna do next?
We-we're ready to start the experiment
with the, broadcast or
whatever you guys want to do,
just tell Erik to let us know.
Yeah, let's fire it up. Let's go.
Hey, Travis,
we're gonna go ahead
and start things up.
All right, we're running the
instruments. We're ready to go.
After receiving that weird
1.6 gigahertz communication signal,
and then Jim getting
the drone interference
right at the column-shaped anomaly,
I wanted to start broadcasting my own
1.6 gigahertz signal through the in point
to see if Erik would be able
to receive it at the out point.
Again, if the signal goes through,
which shouldn't be possible,
it would be evidence that something
totally out of the ordinary
is allowing the signal to
pass through the mesa.
Three, two, one.
All right, Travis,
go ahead and start broadcasting.
I'm at 1.6 gigahertz,
and I'm starting broadcasting
in three, two, one.
Why did I just see peaks come up?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Can you tell him to turn it off again?
Hey, Travis, do you mind turning that off?
Copy that. We're gonna turn it off
in three, two, one.
It is off.
Whoa.
Yeah, so, we are picking up
when he's turning things on and off.
Hey, Travis, this is really interesting.
We definitely had some signal that
correlated with your countdown.
- Whoa.
- We shouldn't be.
You guys are picking up
signal through the mesa.
We shouldn't be.
Now let's have him turn it on again.
Okay, can you go ahead
and turn it back on again?
It is on.
Now, normally,
we should get absolutely
nothing through the rock.
Our little rf signal generator
is just not strong enough to be detected
over the distances involved,
especially with a big mesa in the way.
There appears to be
something connecting
these two locations in
the east canyon area and
this area that's facing the triangle.
Hey, Travis, we're gonna go ahead
and fly the drone mission
Copy that.
Three, two, one.
After Erik was able to receive
my 1.6 gigahertz
signal through the mesa,
between the in and out points,
it was really important for Jim royston
to keep conducting lidar scans
along that path to see
if he can image anything
on infrared that we couldn't
see with the naked eye.
Okay, we're getting
good signal now, as you can see.
- I just saw a
- Yeah.
I just saw a glitch there.
Yeah, this time on ascent,
it looks like it was headed
off towards the south,
even though I know
it went just straight up.
It was really strange
when the GPS device on the drone
that Jim royston deployed collected data
indicating that the
drone flew to the south
because they saw it lift
straight up off the ground.
So, what was redirecting that data?
And could it have been related
to the communications
signal that I detected?
Here we go, controller
interference again.
Similar spot, right?
I want your eyes on this.
- Look right there.
- Look at that.
- Wow. Look at that gap.
- My gosh.
We-we've run into interference
in that spot before.
There's a gap in the data right where
he called out controller interference.
That's crazy.
Same exact spot.
There's something there.
That is so unexpected.
And then, when Jim's drone
encountered major interference,
right when it flew over
the spot where we detected
the column-shaped
anomaly two years ago,
we were all on edge about
what might happen next
between the in and out points.
Hey, keep an eye out
for the drone, Kaleb.
- Yep, its coming.
- Yeah, I see it.
Yeah, it coming over us right now.
I'll jump on that high-speed
camera and watch it.
Yeah, watch it with the
high-speed camera. That's good.
Its turning around and coming back.
It just stopped, and it's
going the other way now.
I'm surprised by that.
Yeah, so I don't know if
that's them doing it or
It's going back and
forth. What is going on?
Yeah.
- What's it doing?
- What is the drone doing?
What's the drone doing?
It's gonna calibrate right now.
- It's all over the place.
- It should be
in a straight line calibration,
- which you've seen many times, Erik.
- No, it's not
It looks like it's going in circles.
And to confirm, they are broadcasting
that 1.6 signal
- now, right? Okay.
- That is correct.
Okay, now it's turning
south, it looks like to me.
Yeah.
Where's it going?
Stand by, I have a warning on the rtk.
What in the hell is Look at this.
Here it comes.
Now it should be coming straight.
Yeah, it's moving around
erratically, it looks like.
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
Are you kidding me?
No, look. Look at his GPS data.
I'm still getting warnings right now.
Here, I'm getting them
right in the same spot again.
And I've-I've got a gap in the data again.
Unbelievable.
When we finally get
the drone up in the air,
we're going on this
path and, believe it or not,
almost instantaneously
we start having trouble
with the drone going a little kind of crazy.
All of a sudden, it really was like
I literally have no control.
I've never seen where I
lose control to my drone.
How does that happen?
Now it looks like it's coming back.
Yeah, I'm green now.
I'm back green.
Good GPS signal, everything's good.
Yeah, and I'm back up.
And you guys are seeing it
on the screen here with me.
Hey, Travis, do you copy?
Yeah, dragon, I copy.
If you want to go ahead
and stop your broadcast,
you can go ahead and do that.
We have a drone coming in.
Did you see anything on the
spectrum analyzer at all, or?
Nothing, just, nothing's jumping out.
- Well, what can we do, Erik?
- Just start shutting stuff down?
- Yeah, I'm ready to shut down.
- Okay.
We got a lot of data to take a look at.
All right, let's do it.
All right, man.
All right, I say we break down.
In the moment, this experiment
definitely indicated
that there is some kind of
phenomenal connection
between the east field,
or in point, and the out
point near the triangle.
So, what could that connection really be?
And, also, why did we detect
a possible communication
signal during this experiment?
So, how is that signal
getting through the mesa
and coming out here
that you can detect?
It did appear that there
were times when you were on,
and we-we saw something
persistent enough
that we could all get eyes on.
It's almost like the mesa's
acting like a wave guide
or an antenna or something
and just channeling it here to you.
- Yeah.
- Well, I say we wrap up,
I-I guess, and see what
all this data shows us.
Heck yeah. We'll review it
back at the command center.
- Okay.
- All right.
Can't wait to find out.
- Hey, Erik.
- Hey, guys. Hey.
- What's going on?
- You're gonna like this.
So, I'm-I'm looking at, all the data
that we collected during
that in and out experiment.
After our experiment yesterday,
where we successfully transmitted
the 1.6 gigahertz
signal through the mesa
between the so-called
in point in the east field
and the out point near the triangle,
and we also detected
some kind of strange
communication signal,
we couldn't wait to see what
else Erik might have found
once he processed all the
other data that we had collected.
So, I want to take us
to the high-speed video
footage that you guys
got out in the in the,
east field canyon area.
Yeah. Yeah, so we were sitting
right in front of the petroglyph.
I created this filter
so that I could bring
out some of the detail.
Okay, so this is all on
the high-speed camera.
- It's looking straight at the triangle.
- Yes.
So we've got an event here.
Wow.
What is that?
Is that the drone?
This is moving a lot faster.
Wow, what is that?
Let's dive in on that.
Yeah, look at that.
Play it moving. Let's see
if there's anything like
- Wings or anything on it.
- Right.
Doesn't look like it, does it?
No.
I don't see any recognizable
features. You know,
like, you know, propellers,
wings, as you mentioned.
And it's not a water droplet on the lens.
- No, it was dry as a bone out there.
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It hadn't rained or anything.
Also, that's where all
that missing data's at.
Right.
Wow.
This just goes to show that we can't have
enough high-tech equipment
and cameras during all
of our experiments here
on skin walker ranch.
Right where Jim royston's
drone experienced GPS errors
and something
interfered with his controls
between the so-called "in
and out" points yesterday,
our high-speed camera recorded a uap.
So, what was this thing?
And was it responsible
for those anomalies
or even the 1.6-gigahertz
communication signal
we detected that was separate
from the one that I was
broadcasting over to Erik?
So, did you guys happen
to notice a-anything
I don't recall ever
seeing anything like that.
Okay, well, we've got more of 'em.
- Really?
- Yeah, so
There's a second clip that
I want to share with you.
So we've got an event here.
You see the Mark here?
Yeah.
Wow!
What is that thing
that flew into the mesa?
I have no idea what this is.
All right, so we're in the east field
by the canyon.
Right? We're probably
less than 30 meters,
maybe 50 meters from Pete
Kelsey's photogrammetry anomaly.
And you can see the petroglyph is
right there in front of Kaleb.
That's the petroglyph right there. Right?
And we're looking back,
southwest toward the triangle.
- Which would be over-over here.
- Right over there.
So, what we actually
did catch doesn't belong.
I mean, look at that thing.
It's-it's unbelievable.
- That's crazy.
- This area has become
extremely interesting,
especially now that we've seen
what appears to be a uap
entering into the mesa
near the petroglyph.
I don't know what this was,
but it's not like some of the other things
that we know are in the sky.
This was definitely different.
We need to figure out what that was
and what we need to do about it.
That one's interesting, and we need to do
- more video analysis on it.
- Yeah.
Wait till you see what else I've got.
So, here, you've
repositioned the camera.
We wanted more of
the sky, so in case we
there was something else out there
that we couldn't see or something.
So this is the contrast enhancement.
All right.
We have the original footage here
we're gonna take a look at.
We've got something going on over here.
- Yeah, there it is up there.
- There it is.
So let's just watch this thing move.
And, again, it's daytime.
We're not seeing a satellite,
and it's not a airplane moving that fast.
Now let me show you
where it comes into the frame.
I don't remember ever seeing
anything in the sky like that.
So, at around the 2:30
Mark, this thing emerges.
You'll see it on the left-hand side.
I'm looking.
- Right there, up on the top.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got it?
- Yeah, look at that.
- All right,
so I'm gonna dive in on
the contrast enhancement.
All right, so keep in mind it's going
seven and a half times faster.
- Now, one of the things that stands out
- look, there's something.
It looks like there's something
under it. Moving with it.,
and then what's this thing
at the bottom coming up?
- You see what's happening here?
- Yeah, you got three things
on the camera. Four
things! There's one over here.
Here. Here.
Yeah, you got three
things on the camera.
Four things! There's one over here.
It was shocking to all of us
that our high-speed camera
recorded multiple uaps
in the air during our
experiment yesterday
at the "in and out" points
between the east field and the triangle.
Is it possible that they
came out of the mesa?
And could that be why
we detected what we think
might be a communication
signal at the "in" point?
Yeah, let me freeze this,
and let's dive into each of these.
Look. Back up just a little bit, Erik.
So there's something here.
There's something here.
And there's something here.
Yeah.
And as you let it move forward,
you can see they're moving.
And they're not
necessarily moving together.
- Right.
- But they're moving at about
here's another piece right here.
Right, so we've got four
things in this one frame,
which is actually, you
know, zoomed-in on the
- On the footage.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's take a look. One of the things
that really stands out for me is this
very rectangular geometry,
the edge definition.
You know, this thing never takes on a
it never changes its appearance.
It always seems to be this rectangular,
dark-on-top, light-on-bottom,
- type of a feature.
- And I don't see
anything like wings flapping around at all.
Yeah, I sure don't either.
And it's moving like an aircraft or,
something but much faster.
Now look at the change in direction.
And it sped up.
Look what's happening.
It's speeding way up.
And it seems to be diving.
But that's not all it's gonna do.
Watch what happens here.
It slows down.
So here's another point to make
both Kaleb and I were watching
- that drone intently.
- Yeah.
And he was tracking it
with the camera intently.
Yeah.
And this thing crosses
right there by the drone
and we don't see it.
- What is it?
- I want to show you what happens.
I found something in here at about 8:56.
Right there.
- I want to dive in.
- It's moving really fast,
whatever it is. 'Cause, remember,
that's seven and a half times
slower than it was actually moving.
Yeah, and what kind of features
do we recognize on this thing?
Do we see anything
that would suggest a bird?
I'm watching for, like,
wings or something.
I'm not seeing that.
Does some kind of, like,
"s" maneuver right there, it looks like.
And look at where this thing is.
- That's right over the triangle.
- Right.
That thing is basically
in the triangle airspace.
So it came from, you
know, the middle of nowhere,
swoops in, and then turns back.
Below cloud level and apparently down.
Like it's turning to make
a final approach here, like it's coming in
- for a landing or something.
- Yeah.
Seeing this uap suddenly appear
and then maneuver directly
above the triangle was incredible.
Because last year
- Look at that.
- That's interesting.
That's right where Jim
royston's lidar drone detected
a perfectly circular ring
with a black void in the center
that we've speculated could be related
to a wormhole or portal.
Could this uap appearing
at that location be evidence
that just might confirm our suspicions
and maybe validate all
the legends we've heard
about portals on skin walker ranch?
Now we're really finding hard evidence
that there's a absolute phenomena
- taking place here.
- That is
- a critical piece of data.
- I-I think we need
to plan our next experiment
out there that we can set up
- and reproduce all these things.
- Yeah. -Fantastic.
- Love it.
- All right, man.
- Great.
- We'll talk to you later, Erik.
Thanks, guys.
That's great stuff, Erik.
So exciting.
We have seen what may be uaps
or some objects in the sky
moving at fairly high rates of travel.
There are objects that
appear to be passing
directly into the mesa.
And as strange as that sounds,
it lines up exactly with things
that have been described to us
from the history of this property.
We can't dismiss it.
For decades, if not centuries,
skin walker ranch has
been home to legends
that are hard to
understand or even believe.
But we keep documenting phenomena
that just might prove
some of these legends
are based on reality.
So, as we continue applying science
to figure out what they
are and why they're here,
I wonder how our perception of reality
could be changed forever.
What lies within the mesa?
What is above the triangle?
Those priorities, those
tasks lie ahead of us.
We are proving the
reality of the phenomena.
We are on the cusp
of discovering the secret
of skin walker ranch.
