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.
