1
00:00:00,708 --> 00:00:01,083
2,000 feet high
2
00:00:02,583 --> 00:00:04,000
but this is showing it
only at about
3
00:00:04,167 --> 00:00:05,875
150 feet or something.
4
00:00:06,042 --> 00:00:07,417
So, I've taken
the Lunasonde data
5
00:00:07,542 --> 00:00:09,875
that we got last year,
and there's the rocket launches.
6
00:00:10,042 --> 00:00:11,333
-BRYANT: They do line up.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
7
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:12,833
Look at that scapula.
8
00:00:13,042 --> 00:00:15,333
That is a tooth that bit
all the way through.
9
00:00:15,542 --> 00:00:16,750
It would have to be
larger than a wolf.
10
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,583
That is a dire wolf,
11
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:20,125
which is an extinct species.
12
00:00:20,292 --> 00:00:21,792
THOMAS:
Look at this tree right here.
13
00:00:21,875 --> 00:00:24,458
It looks charred.
14
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,125
TRAVIS:
We got a dead animal right here!
15
00:00:26,333 --> 00:00:27,583
-THOMAS: Oh, What is that?
-BRYANT: What is that?
16
00:00:28,667 --> 00:00:32,167
NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.
17
00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:34,708
It is considered the epicenter
18
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:39,500
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
19
00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:41,917
animal mutilations,
20
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:44,333
bizarre UFO sightings
21
00:00:44,458 --> 00:00:49,375
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
22
00:00:49,542 --> 00:00:52,000
For 20 years,
the federal government
23
00:00:52,167 --> 00:00:55,333
tried to find answers
and failed.
24
00:00:55,542 --> 00:00:59,458
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
25
00:00:59,625 --> 00:01:03,333
researchers and experts
has taken over.
26
00:01:03,542 --> 00:01:07,500
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
27
00:01:09,958 --> 00:01:13,375
...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
28
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:22,750
KANDUS: Thanks for
meeting with us today.
29
00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:24,167
BEN: Absolutely.
30
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:26,167
We'd love to hear
what you found out about
31
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:27,542
those samples of
the dead things we found
32
00:01:27,708 --> 00:01:29,625
in the river.
33
00:01:29,833 --> 00:01:31,833
BEN: Okay, all of it
was very interesting
34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,792
and kind of
some unexpected things.
35
00:01:35,042 --> 00:01:37,333
TRAVIS: Last week,
we made a bunch of
36
00:01:37,458 --> 00:01:39,333
strange discoveries
in Dry Gulch Creek,
37
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,917
which borders the south field
of Skinwalker Ranch.
38
00:01:43,042 --> 00:01:45,083
These included a scorched tree
39
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:47,417
where nothing else
around it was burned,
40
00:01:47,542 --> 00:01:50,833
and the decayed carcass
of some kind of animal
41
00:01:50,917 --> 00:01:53,958
with huge fangs,
so we couldn't wait
42
00:01:54,167 --> 00:01:56,125
to hear the scientific report
43
00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:59,042
on the samples that we sent
to biologist Ben Woodruff
44
00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:02,375
at the Hutchings Museum
Institute in Lehi, Utah.
45
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,792
So, I want to show
you some pictures
46
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,500
from the olive wood tree
that was burned,
47
00:02:07,708 --> 00:02:09,333
and the burn
looked a little strange.
48
00:02:12,708 --> 00:02:14,417
I can't 100% confirm this,
49
00:02:14,583 --> 00:02:17,542
but the way the burn happened
looked like pyrolysis,
50
00:02:17,708 --> 00:02:22,083
which is where a burn happens
without combustion,
51
00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:24,500
and without
burning through any oxygen.
52
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:27,167
So, if you were to witness it,
53
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:29,333
it would just be turning black
in front of your eyes
54
00:02:29,542 --> 00:02:30,458
without a flame.
55
00:02:31,875 --> 00:02:34,500
Then the question is,
what is making heat hot enough
56
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:38,875
to create a non-combustion fire
and have no oxygen?
57
00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:41,292
Well, you'd have
to have an extreme
58
00:02:41,417 --> 00:02:43,042
-heat source.
-Yes.
59
00:02:43,208 --> 00:02:44,208
I'm thinking about
that post we found.
60
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:45,417
I was just exactly
61
00:02:45,583 --> 00:02:46,667
-thinking about that post.
-Yeah.
62
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:48,083
Which is right where
63
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:50,500
we saw that silver orb
coming toward
64
00:02:50,708 --> 00:02:51,708
our game camera.
65
00:02:51,917 --> 00:02:53,542
-It is, isn't it?
-BRYANT: It is.
66
00:02:55,917 --> 00:02:57,667
THOMAS: Huh, look at this.
67
00:02:57,875 --> 00:02:59,667
We got a burn mark.
68
00:03:01,042 --> 00:03:02,250
TRAVIS:
In 2022,
69
00:03:02,375 --> 00:03:04,333
Kaleb Bench and Thomas Winterton
70
00:03:04,542 --> 00:03:06,292
noticed a fence post
in the south field
71
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:09,167
with a half-circle-shaped
hole through it
72
00:03:09,375 --> 00:03:11,708
and burns that were
just like the olive tree
73
00:03:11,833 --> 00:03:13,542
that we found
nearby in the creek.
74
00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:16,875
And then, after
setting up game cameras
75
00:03:17,042 --> 00:03:18,583
to keep a better watch
over that area,
76
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:21,667
we captured an image of
a silver orb
77
00:03:21,875 --> 00:03:23,500
in the middle of the field.
78
00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:26,042
But was it connected
to the scorched fence post
79
00:03:26,208 --> 00:03:28,375
or even the olive tree?
80
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:32,958
Man, I find
that really interesting.
81
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,083
BEN:
Let me show you next,
82
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:38,000
the jaw sample,
the canine that you found.
83
00:03:38,167 --> 00:03:39,917
ERIK:
I want to see this.
84
00:03:42,042 --> 00:03:43,500
TRAVIS:
About six months ago,
85
00:03:43,708 --> 00:03:45,542
a dead cow was discovered
near the south field
86
00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:48,708
that had
massive teeth marks in it.
87
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:52,375
BEN: The size fits into
that hole perfectly.
88
00:03:52,542 --> 00:03:54,000
TRAVIS:
And last week,
89
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:55,708
Ben suggested that one animal
90
00:03:55,875 --> 00:03:58,292
with teeth large enough
to make those sized wounds
91
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:00,583
could have been a dire wolf,
92
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:04,417
which went extinct
about 10,000 years ago.
93
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,667
What's even crazier than that
94
00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:10,000
is a story told by
the Sherman family,
95
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:12,042
who lived here in the 1990s,
96
00:04:12,208 --> 00:04:13,792
that they actually saw
97
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,250
a dire wolf attack their cattle.
98
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:19,667
So, we were all on
the edge of our seats to hear
99
00:04:19,875 --> 00:04:22,792
what Ben had to say
about the dead animal
100
00:04:22,917 --> 00:04:26,000
we just discovered in the creek
bordering the south field.
101
00:04:27,125 --> 00:04:29,125
BEN:
I want to give you
a couple of examples here,
102
00:04:29,292 --> 00:04:30,333
some comparative anatomy.
103
00:04:30,542 --> 00:04:32,208
So, this is the side view
104
00:04:32,417 --> 00:04:33,917
of a typical coyote skull.
105
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,667
And I want you
to focus down here.
106
00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:39,333
At the bottom,
107
00:04:39,542 --> 00:04:43,458
you can see this bulge
is not very big.
108
00:04:44,458 --> 00:04:46,250
This is the part of the jaw
109
00:04:46,417 --> 00:04:49,208
that undergoes the most stress
110
00:04:49,375 --> 00:04:52,375
when these teeth here
are crunching down.
111
00:04:53,417 --> 00:04:55,458
So, keep that in mind.
Keep the shape in mind.
112
00:04:56,542 --> 00:04:59,042
This is a regular,
modern-day gray wolf.
113
00:05:00,458 --> 00:05:02,500
And they're
tackling larger prey,
114
00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:05,292
up to the size of moose
or even a buffalo.
115
00:05:05,458 --> 00:05:08,375
And you can see
how much larger that is.
116
00:05:10,375 --> 00:05:13,625
And this is a dire wolf.
117
00:05:16,083 --> 00:05:17,333
You can see down below here
118
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,417
how much larger that bulge is.
119
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:23,667
-TRAVIS: That's huge.
-THOMAS: Yeah.
120
00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,417
BEN:
Here is the dentition
on your jaw.
121
00:05:30,667 --> 00:05:33,000
That has the much thicker,
larger bulge
122
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:35,167
like a dire wolf.
123
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:37,167
TRAVIS: Look at that.
124
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:38,833
What?
125
00:05:39,042 --> 00:05:39,917
Are you kidding me?
126
00:05:40,042 --> 00:05:41,750
KAELEB:
No way.
127
00:05:43,792 --> 00:05:45,583
BEN:
I don't want
to put out a hypothesis,
128
00:05:45,792 --> 00:05:48,792
but if you handed me this
and said, "Hey, what is this?"
129
00:05:48,917 --> 00:05:51,083
Everything I'm measuring,
everything I'm looking at says
130
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:53,792
it looks like
it has dire wolf in it
131
00:05:53,958 --> 00:05:55,000
or is a young dire wolf.
132
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,958
But I'm hoping
we can do a DNA test.
133
00:06:01,042 --> 00:06:04,250
THOMAS:
If we can prove
this is a legit dire wolf,
134
00:06:04,417 --> 00:06:06,417
that would be
the first physical evidence
135
00:06:06,542 --> 00:06:08,208
that we've been given
from anybody
136
00:06:08,375 --> 00:06:10,708
that suggests that
the Shermans actually saw
137
00:06:10,875 --> 00:06:13,500
a dire wolf trying to pull
their cows through the fence.
138
00:06:13,667 --> 00:06:15,542
We love everything
about your approach, Ben,
139
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,333
and I-I am... I am so grateful
140
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:19,875
for everything
you've shared with us.
141
00:06:20,042 --> 00:06:23,167
KANDUS:
Yeah. Thanks so much
for coming on
142
00:06:23,292 --> 00:06:24,500
and sharing
your results with us.
143
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:26,625
We'll collect more samples
and hopefully
144
00:06:26,792 --> 00:06:28,333
-talk to you soon.
-BEN: Great.
145
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:29,792
Thank you. I look forward
to coming out again.
146
00:06:29,958 --> 00:06:31,167
-BRYANT: Thanks, man.
-THOMAS: Thank you, Ben.
147
00:06:31,333 --> 00:06:32,833
-See you later.
-Talk to you soon.
148
00:06:33,833 --> 00:06:36,833
-BRYANT: Wow.
-TRAVIS: A dire wolf.
149
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:50,167
KAELEB: Well, we've got
Jan back out, guys.
150
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:52,583
-ERIK: Hey, Jan.
-Hey. Hey, guys.
151
00:06:52,708 --> 00:06:54,625
-Welcome back.
-JAN: Thanks for having me back.
152
00:06:54,792 --> 00:06:56,833
TRAVIS:
After our meeting
with Ben Woodruff,
153
00:06:57,042 --> 00:07:00,583
we welcomed ground-penetrating
radar expert Jan Francke
154
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:03,167
back to help us with another one
of our current investigations,
155
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:07,125
between the area known as
the triangle and the mesa,
156
00:07:07,208 --> 00:07:10,375
where we've detected a possible
underground structure.
157
00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:15,167
We had a team come out
and do a balloon-based
158
00:07:15,375 --> 00:07:17,250
deep penetrating radar survey.
159
00:07:17,458 --> 00:07:19,083
-Okay.
-We also have some
160
00:07:19,208 --> 00:07:21,792
-magnetometer data
from a few years ago...
-JAN: Yep.
161
00:07:21,917 --> 00:07:23,500
...that shows
magnetic anomalies.
162
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,167
-Okay.
-Which suggests
163
00:07:25,375 --> 00:07:28,292
that we're looking
at something metallic,
164
00:07:28,417 --> 00:07:30,250
possibly even
a tunnel of some kind.
165
00:07:30,375 --> 00:07:31,625
Okay.
166
00:07:32,583 --> 00:07:34,167
TRAVIS: Over
the past three years,
167
00:07:34,375 --> 00:07:36,333
we've conducted
a magnetometry scan
168
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:39,667
as well as an aerial
radar scan in this area,
169
00:07:39,875 --> 00:07:43,042
and both of them identified
a possible metal tunnel
170
00:07:43,208 --> 00:07:46,292
running underground between
the triangle and the mesa.
171
00:07:46,458 --> 00:07:48,917
So today, Jan is going to use
172
00:07:49,083 --> 00:07:51,667
a special
ground-penetrating radar device
173
00:07:51,833 --> 00:07:54,167
to get us more data
and help us figure out
174
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:55,542
if that could really be true.
175
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,292
Our ambition is to
176
00:07:58,417 --> 00:08:00,333
do a survey in this area
under the triangle.
177
00:08:00,542 --> 00:08:02,292
Absolutely, we can do that. Yes.
178
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,167
Well, guys, so,
this time I brought
179
00:08:04,292 --> 00:08:05,542
a much deeper
penetrating system--
180
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:06,917
I've improved it over
the last year--
181
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:08,667
that will give us
a much higher resolution.
182
00:08:08,833 --> 00:08:10,208
Perfect.
183
00:08:11,250 --> 00:08:12,833
TRAVIS:
Jan is going to scan
back and forth
184
00:08:13,042 --> 00:08:16,167
across the area in what's called
a push broom pattern.
185
00:08:16,375 --> 00:08:18,458
As he does this,
the GPR will send
186
00:08:18,625 --> 00:08:20,250
radio signals into the ground
187
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,375
that bounce off of
objects or structures.
188
00:08:22,542 --> 00:08:24,292
If any are detected,
189
00:08:24,375 --> 00:08:26,292
the device will
produce an image on
190
00:08:26,458 --> 00:08:28,125
what is known as a radargram.
191
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,500
Now, while Jan's GPR
is mainly designed to
192
00:08:32,625 --> 00:08:34,667
send radio signals
into the ground,
193
00:08:34,875 --> 00:08:36,958
some of them will
actually go up,
194
00:08:37,042 --> 00:08:40,125
meaning that he could also
detect things above him.
195
00:08:41,125 --> 00:08:43,958
That would be a good thing
for us because we've documented
196
00:08:44,125 --> 00:08:46,500
a lot of anomalies
above the triangle.
197
00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:48,500
So, if anything passes over him,
198
00:08:48,667 --> 00:08:50,708
we might able
to image that, as well.
199
00:08:51,667 --> 00:08:53,083
We got another experiment
200
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:54,667
on the other side of the ranch,
so we're going to
201
00:08:54,875 --> 00:08:56,083
leave you and Kaleb here
at it for a little bit,
202
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:57,167
and we're gonna
head over there.
203
00:08:57,292 --> 00:08:58,333
Sounds good.
204
00:08:58,542 --> 00:08:59,833
TRAVIS:
Well, good luck, guys.
205
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:03,167
-Okay.
-JAN: Got it?
206
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:04,583
All right,
207
00:09:04,792 --> 00:09:06,583
let's start assembling it.
208
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:11,333
TRAVIS:
While Jan and Kaleb were
running the GPR scan
209
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:13,292
-at the triangle...
-And off we go.
210
00:09:14,333 --> 00:09:17,000
...Me, Thomas and Dragon
went about a half mile over to
211
00:09:17,208 --> 00:09:19,958
the east field to conduct
a different experiment
212
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:21,708
to follow up
on something strange
213
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:23,708
that happened two weeks ago.
214
00:09:24,833 --> 00:09:26,542
Let's put the launch pad
right here.
215
00:09:29,042 --> 00:09:32,500
We were conducting a
drone-based infrared lidar scan
216
00:09:32,708 --> 00:09:35,583
when Jim Royston suddenly
began losing GPS data
217
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:38,292
at very specific spots
above the east field.
218
00:09:38,417 --> 00:09:40,167
-ERIK: Uh-oh.
-What happened, Erik?
219
00:09:40,375 --> 00:09:42,333
TRAVIS:
Something that
we couldn't explain
220
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:45,208
was blocking the GPS signal.
221
00:09:45,375 --> 00:09:47,333
-Let's go launch this thing.
-Okay.
222
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,333
TRAVIS:
So, we've decided to launch
223
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,292
rockets equipped with
GPS devices
224
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:53,750
up into those same dead spots
225
00:09:53,917 --> 00:09:55,958
to see if we could get
repeated data,
226
00:09:56,042 --> 00:09:58,833
or even stimulate
some kind of phenomenon,
227
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,792
that might help us figure out
what's going on in that area.
228
00:10:01,958 --> 00:10:03,042
(beeps)
229
00:10:04,042 --> 00:10:05,542
THOMAS:
Erik, the rocket's armed
230
00:10:05,708 --> 00:10:06,833
and we're ready to launch.
231
00:10:07,042 --> 00:10:09,292
Copy you.
Standing by for launch.
232
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:10,792
BRYANT:
While we're out in the field,
233
00:10:10,917 --> 00:10:12,833
Erik's going to be
in the command center,
234
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,500
watching all of his
instrumentation and cameras,
235
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:17,417
to keep an eye on both parties
236
00:10:17,542 --> 00:10:19,333
while we're out
doing this experiment.
237
00:10:20,542 --> 00:10:22,833
We might be able to get
to the next spot.
238
00:10:23,042 --> 00:10:24,458
-Okay, whereabouts is it?
-It's up over in...
239
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:26,250
-In that thicket there?
-It's up over in here.
240
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:28,000
JAN:
All right.
241
00:10:29,375 --> 00:10:32,292
TRAVIS: In five, four,
242
00:10:32,458 --> 00:10:35,000
three, two,
243
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:36,333
one.
244
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:44,667
-KALEB: Yeah.
-JAN: Something's going on
245
00:10:44,833 --> 00:10:46,750
with the signal there,
very interesting.
246
00:10:46,875 --> 00:10:50,708
We've got this weird bump
above the ground.
247
00:10:50,833 --> 00:10:53,333
-I can't explain that.
-KALEB: Uh, yeah.
248
00:10:55,167 --> 00:10:57,167
What the hell?
249
00:10:58,167 --> 00:11:00,375
ERIK (over radio):
Hey, Thomas, you copy?
250
00:11:00,542 --> 00:11:02,708
Yeah, Erik. Go ahead.
251
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:05,625
ERIK:
I don't even know
how to say this.
252
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:10,375
I saw the rocket launch
straight up in the camera.
253
00:11:11,583 --> 00:11:15,000
But the GPS data went
deep into the mesa.
254
00:11:16,875 --> 00:11:20,125
-(Travis laughing)
-BRYANT: That's amazing.
255
00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:27,958
straight up in the camera.
theh
256
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,167
But the GPS data went northwest.
257
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:36,667
And raced off
into the interior of the mesa.
258
00:11:38,792 --> 00:11:41,833
It never went up
from the launch pad.
259
00:11:41,958 --> 00:11:43,500
-Wow.
-It turned and went
that direction.
260
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:46,083
TRAVIS:
Our latest experiment showed
261
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:48,042
really weird results
from the get-go.
262
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:51,542
We all saw
our first rocket launch
263
00:11:51,708 --> 00:11:53,958
straight up over 1,000 feet
in the air.
264
00:11:54,083 --> 00:11:56,500
But according
to Erik's GPS receiver
265
00:11:56,667 --> 00:11:58,625
tracking the rocket's path,
266
00:11:58,792 --> 00:12:01,583
it supposedly flew
straight into the mesa.
267
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:04,708
Hey, Erik and Travis,
if you guys can hear me.
268
00:12:04,875 --> 00:12:07,958
As Jan and I were dragging
his GPR through the triangle,
269
00:12:08,125 --> 00:12:09,667
Jan said about five
to ten seconds
270
00:12:09,833 --> 00:12:11,667
after that rocket launch,
271
00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:14,083
that he was getting something
interesting above us.
272
00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:16,667
TRAVIS:
Did you hear what he said?
273
00:12:16,875 --> 00:12:18,458
That radar picked up something
274
00:12:18,625 --> 00:12:21,000
in the air
when we launched the rocket.
275
00:12:21,167 --> 00:12:22,417
At the triangle.
276
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:23,792
KALEB:
I am wondering if we did
277
00:12:23,958 --> 00:12:25,375
have some kind of...
278
00:12:25,542 --> 00:12:27,417
interaction or we did get
279
00:12:27,542 --> 00:12:30,292
some kind of reading
of something moving above us.
280
00:12:32,083 --> 00:12:33,375
So that's,
that's really interesting.
281
00:12:33,542 --> 00:12:34,667
I can't wait to see that data.
282
00:12:34,833 --> 00:12:36,250
We couldn't believe it
283
00:12:36,417 --> 00:12:37,500
when Jan detected something
284
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,042
in the air with his GPR device
285
00:12:40,208 --> 00:12:42,833
above the triangle
after our first rocket launch.
286
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,708
He was trying to find
an underground tunnel, but,
287
00:12:45,875 --> 00:12:47,458
clearly,
some of the radio signals
288
00:12:47,583 --> 00:12:49,875
bounced off something
over his head.
289
00:12:50,875 --> 00:12:51,958
We are ready to launch
the next rocket
290
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,000
with the GPS tracker on it.
291
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,125
Are you ready?
292
00:12:55,292 --> 00:12:56,792
ERIK:
Standing by for launch.
293
00:12:57,917 --> 00:12:59,875
TRAVIS: We had no idea
what it could have been.
294
00:13:00,042 --> 00:13:02,000
So we wanted
to launch another rocket
295
00:13:02,208 --> 00:13:04,667
as fast as we could
to see if it would happen again.
296
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,167
Hey, Kaleb, be advised
297
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:09,292
that we are gonna launch
the rocket
298
00:13:09,458 --> 00:13:11,500
in less than 30 seconds.
299
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:13,333
Be prepared.
300
00:13:13,458 --> 00:13:15,000
JAN: If we're gonna launch
another rocket,
301
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:17,667
we should stand still
and we watch for it,
302
00:13:17,792 --> 00:13:20,667
-and see if we see
anything about us.
-Okay.
303
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:23,167
Okay, battery is gonna
go hot right now.
304
00:13:24,208 --> 00:13:25,750
(beeping)
305
00:13:25,917 --> 00:13:28,167
Preparing to launch in five,
306
00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:30,333
four, three,
307
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,750
two, one.
308
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:41,792
What in the hell is going on?
309
00:13:43,417 --> 00:13:46,583
This makes no sense at all!
310
00:13:46,750 --> 00:13:48,833
That is not
what that rocket did.
311
00:13:49,833 --> 00:13:52,000
I want an explanation for this.
312
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:57,000
During the rocket launch,
the rocket didn't go
313
00:13:57,208 --> 00:13:58,958
straight into the mesa,
but what it appeared to do
314
00:13:59,125 --> 00:14:01,083
was to corkscrew on its way up.
315
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,667
Um, the altitude that it is
reported to have reached
316
00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:06,417
is nowhere near
where the rocket actually went.
317
00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:09,000
How is that even possible?
318
00:14:10,958 --> 00:14:12,667
Kaleb, you copy?
319
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:13,958
KALEB:
Yeah. Go ahead, Erik.
320
00:14:14,958 --> 00:14:16,625
Are you still seeing
any of that artifact
321
00:14:16,792 --> 00:14:18,500
at 30 to 40 feet?
322
00:14:19,875 --> 00:14:21,792
JAN:
Uh, roger that, I am.
323
00:14:21,875 --> 00:14:23,333
Yes, it is definitely there.
324
00:14:23,458 --> 00:14:25,708
And it occurred
maybe four or five seconds
325
00:14:25,875 --> 00:14:28,208
-after the launch.
-ERIK: Wow.
326
00:14:30,292 --> 00:14:32,833
JAN:
We saw the exact same effect.
327
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,083
Five or six seconds
after that rocket launched,
328
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:39,458
we see movement
at a range of about 40 feet.
329
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:41,583
I can't explain that at all.
330
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:43,250
I need to process that data,
331
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:45,583
but that's something
of real interest.
332
00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:48,500
Well, it's been an eventful day.
333
00:14:48,667 --> 00:14:50,042
Heck yeah, it has.
334
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:51,833
Sounds like Erik got
some interesting data.
335
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,250
I'll be interested to see
what the camera looks like.
336
00:14:54,417 --> 00:14:56,583
I-I'd say this is
a very successful day.
337
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:58,375
Yeah, I wo-- I would,
I would think so.
338
00:14:58,542 --> 00:14:59,917
I can't wait to see
339
00:15:00,042 --> 00:15:01,875
what Jan got
down at the triangle.
340
00:15:02,042 --> 00:15:03,708
I say we pack up,
we get back
341
00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:05,042
-to see what he's got.
-I agree.
342
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,542
BRYANT:
Good job, everybody.
343
00:15:15,917 --> 00:15:17,708
-TRAVIS: Hey, guys.
-JAN: Come on in.
344
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,667
ERIK:
Before we jump into Jan's data
345
00:15:20,833 --> 00:15:22,250
I want to look
at some rocket launch data
346
00:15:22,417 --> 00:15:23,750
with you guys.
I want to show you
347
00:15:23,917 --> 00:15:26,458
the GPS data
for that first flight.
348
00:15:26,583 --> 00:15:28,250
I'm excited to see what you got.
349
00:15:28,375 --> 00:15:30,875
TRAVIS: The next morning,
we couldn't wait to see
350
00:15:31,042 --> 00:15:33,375
if Jan was able to find evidence
351
00:15:33,542 --> 00:15:35,875
of a tunnel underground
in the triangle area.
352
00:15:36,042 --> 00:15:38,333
But first,
we really wanted to review
353
00:15:38,542 --> 00:15:41,417
the GPS data from
our east field rocket launch
354
00:15:41,625 --> 00:15:43,917
when Jan's GPR device
355
00:15:44,083 --> 00:15:46,083
simultaneously
detected something
356
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:48,458
above ground at the triangle.
357
00:15:48,625 --> 00:15:51,583
Okay, so, you tell me...
358
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:56,042
...what's wrong
with this picture?
359
00:15:58,042 --> 00:16:01,292
(laughs) The rocket went
straight up to 2,000 feet.
360
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:02,708
Mm-hmm.
361
00:16:02,875 --> 00:16:05,458
And you see
these points over here?
362
00:16:05,542 --> 00:16:07,333
They're inside the mesa.
363
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:08,958
-Now.
-TRAVIS: There they are,
look at that.
364
00:16:09,125 --> 00:16:12,333
ERIK: Look exactly
where they went in.
365
00:16:12,542 --> 00:16:14,000
TRAVIS:
Wow.
366
00:16:14,167 --> 00:16:15,750
THOMAS: That's right
where we saw the UAP
367
00:16:15,875 --> 00:16:17,208
last year go into the mesa.
368
00:16:17,375 --> 00:16:20,542
That's a good point.
The entry point right there.
369
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:22,208
Crazy, man.
370
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:25,708
The GPS data shows
this rocket flew straight
371
00:16:25,875 --> 00:16:27,833
at the mesa
and directly into a spot
372
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,917
that we call the "in point."
373
00:16:30,083 --> 00:16:33,042
Now that's where we've seen
a UAP enter
374
00:16:33,250 --> 00:16:35,750
the east field mesa
and then exit it
375
00:16:35,917 --> 00:16:38,000
a half a mile away
before disappearing
376
00:16:38,208 --> 00:16:40,000
into thin air near the triangle.
377
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:42,792
We don't know
what's causing the GPS errors,
378
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,875
but it is obvious
379
00:16:45,083 --> 00:16:47,167
that something has
prevented us from getting
380
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:49,500
accurate data
on Skinwalker Ranch.
381
00:16:49,667 --> 00:16:52,792
KALEB: And at the exact
same time, Jan was picking up
382
00:16:52,958 --> 00:16:55,083
those radar anomalies.
383
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:57,167
TRAVIS: That's right,
Jan had the GPR set up
384
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:59,792
when we did this launch,
and he picked up
385
00:16:59,958 --> 00:17:02,417
uh, something in the sky
386
00:17:02,625 --> 00:17:04,708
that seemed to be 40 feet
above him over the triangle.
387
00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:08,375
Yes, exactly, we can actually
see that on this data set.
388
00:17:08,542 --> 00:17:10,375
-Yeah, let's take a look.
-JAN: Okay.
389
00:17:11,625 --> 00:17:13,333
So, the radar's continuously
390
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,833
running, it's taking readings
ten times a second.
391
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,833
Now what is the radar
really detecting?
392
00:17:17,958 --> 00:17:19,208
It's detecting changes.
393
00:17:19,375 --> 00:17:20,875
And we're in an open field
394
00:17:21,042 --> 00:17:23,083
and there's no cows
or anything else moving.
395
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:27,042
So if we just stand still
and nobody moves,
396
00:17:27,208 --> 00:17:29,500
then there shouldn't
be any changes at all.
397
00:17:29,667 --> 00:17:31,208
So, what I want you to do is
398
00:17:31,375 --> 00:17:34,208
take a look at the bottom
of the screen, okay?
399
00:17:35,208 --> 00:17:36,833
So here's what's interesting.
400
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,208
The launch happened--
401
00:17:38,375 --> 00:17:39,667
I happened to get
the timestamp off of it--
402
00:17:39,833 --> 00:17:40,833
right here.
403
00:17:40,958 --> 00:17:42,917
Okay?
404
00:17:43,083 --> 00:17:45,917
About six seconds later,
five seconds later,
405
00:17:46,042 --> 00:17:48,042
we have this blip.
406
00:17:49,375 --> 00:17:51,750
It's probably sitting
around 40 feet
407
00:17:51,875 --> 00:17:53,708
above the ground.
408
00:17:53,875 --> 00:17:56,708
And that's a very,
very strong blip.
409
00:17:56,833 --> 00:17:59,375
Okay, now what does that mean?
410
00:17:59,542 --> 00:18:03,500
Okay, something changed
and created an interference.
411
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:06,667
TRAVIS: So we launched
a rocket a mile away from you,
412
00:18:06,833 --> 00:18:09,667
and, uh, you detected some sort
413
00:18:09,833 --> 00:18:11,458
-of anomaly, uh...
-JAN: Yeah.
414
00:18:11,625 --> 00:18:14,792
-...happened
about 40 feet above you?
-JAN: Yeah.
415
00:18:14,958 --> 00:18:17,167
Well, I assure you there
was nothing above us, but...
416
00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:19,833
-nothing that we could see.
-Nothing that you could see,
yeah, that's right.
417
00:18:20,042 --> 00:18:21,167
-JAN: Exactly.
-ERIK: Right, that's the point.
418
00:18:21,292 --> 00:18:23,000
And I saw that, and I was like,
419
00:18:23,125 --> 00:18:25,083
"What just caused that?"
420
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:27,458
And it happened twice,
if I remember correctly.
421
00:18:27,667 --> 00:18:28,667
JAN:
That's right.
422
00:18:28,792 --> 00:18:30,667
So here's the interesting part.
423
00:18:30,792 --> 00:18:32,542
Repeatability, right?
That's how science works.
424
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:34,000
Check this out.
425
00:18:34,167 --> 00:18:37,792
So we'll go along in time
and it happened...
426
00:18:37,917 --> 00:18:39,583
again.
427
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:41,417
-Right there.
-TRAVIS:
Wow, look at that.
428
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:44,333
JAN: This happened
after your second launch.
429
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,250
So that means, somehow or other,
launching a rocket
430
00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:49,542
in the east canyon field
down there,
431
00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:51,917
somehow at the triangle,
432
00:18:52,125 --> 00:18:55,333
we detect
an electromagnetic disturbance.
433
00:18:55,542 --> 00:18:57,833
Well, no, we detect an object.
434
00:18:58,042 --> 00:19:00,042
-We detect an object. That...
-JAN: That appears
and disappears.
435
00:19:00,208 --> 00:19:03,083
That appears and disappears
for just a few seconds.
436
00:19:05,292 --> 00:19:07,250
What on earth is that?
437
00:19:07,417 --> 00:19:09,417
ERIK:
Well, now that's a good question
438
00:19:10,375 --> 00:19:12,333
And I've got something
to show you that I think
439
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,000
you're gonna find
really interesting given
440
00:19:14,125 --> 00:19:16,250
what we already
know about this anomaly.
441
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:21,042
This is a camera
that's positioned right on
442
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:22,708
on the observation point
there on the tower,
443
00:19:22,875 --> 00:19:25,333
here in the east field,
looking off towards the west,
444
00:19:25,458 --> 00:19:27,125
right there at the triangle.
445
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:29,250
I want to see if you spot
what I spotted
446
00:19:29,417 --> 00:19:30,792
when I played through this.
447
00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:33,792
TRAVIS:
Whoa, whoa! Was that it?
448
00:19:33,958 --> 00:19:36,333
That was fast, whatever it was.
449
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:37,667
ERIK:
Let me take it back.
450
00:19:37,875 --> 00:19:39,667
Is it just one frame?
451
00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:41,333
Uh, no, there are
several frames here.
452
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:43,375
So you'll see it enter
453
00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:46,417
the field of view
from the right.
454
00:19:48,292 --> 00:19:50,833
And I'll tell you
why I find this interesting.
455
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,375
Okay, we get to this frame.
456
00:19:53,542 --> 00:19:55,958
-(key clicks)
-And it's gone.
457
00:19:56,125 --> 00:19:57,333
What?
458
00:19:57,542 --> 00:19:58,500
Yeah.
459
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,417
KALEB:
It disappeared right there.
460
00:20:06,708 --> 00:20:08,125
THOMAS:
It disappeared right there.
461
00:20:08,292 --> 00:20:10,833
What on earth is that?
462
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:15,333
THOMAS:
So how many frames?
463
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,667
ERIK: Okay.
We can count them.
464
00:20:17,875 --> 00:20:19,417
-TRAVIS: One. Uh-huh.
-ERIK: So there's your first.
465
00:20:19,583 --> 00:20:21,917
BOTH:
Two, three, four,
466
00:20:22,083 --> 00:20:24,792
-ERIK: Five.
-What in the world is that?
467
00:20:24,958 --> 00:20:27,208
ERIK: You know again,
just for added context,
468
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:29,625
remember, Jan was out there
at the triangle.
469
00:20:29,792 --> 00:20:32,125
KALEB: Well, I can point out
right where we were standing
470
00:20:32,292 --> 00:20:34,208
right here.
471
00:20:35,208 --> 00:20:37,167
We were right down in here.
472
00:20:37,333 --> 00:20:39,458
ERIK:
Wow.
473
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:41,042
TRAVIS:
What phenomenology
474
00:20:41,208 --> 00:20:43,542
could-could suddenly
get a rocket trigger
475
00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:45,875
there that you would
detect with the radar?
476
00:20:47,125 --> 00:20:48,667
You have no speculation, right?
477
00:20:48,792 --> 00:20:50,208
I have no speculation.
478
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:53,208
TRAVIS:
They say seeing is believing,
479
00:20:53,375 --> 00:20:54,750
but it was totally unbelievable
480
00:20:54,958 --> 00:20:57,708
that just seconds
after we launched a rocket
481
00:20:57,875 --> 00:20:59,500
in the east field yesterday,
482
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:02,708
Jan Francke's radar device
detected something
483
00:21:02,875 --> 00:21:05,750
hundreds of yards away
above the triangle.
484
00:21:06,958 --> 00:21:08,500
And at that exact same moment,
485
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:11,667
Erik's surveillance camera
captured images of a UAP
486
00:21:11,875 --> 00:21:15,292
coming from the east field
and then disappearing
487
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:17,042
right above the triangle.
488
00:21:17,208 --> 00:21:18,792
THOMAS:
So look at where it's at,
489
00:21:18,875 --> 00:21:20,583
right there
in the middle of the screen,
490
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:24,583
and if you come straight down
that would be exactly
491
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:27,583
within the bounds
of that black hole
492
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:29,000
in the lidar data.
493
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:31,292
As soon as you started
pointing that out,
494
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:32,792
that's what hit my mind,
Thomas, you're right.
495
00:21:32,917 --> 00:21:35,417
It is absolutely right over
496
00:21:35,542 --> 00:21:38,667
where the hole
in the lidar data is.
497
00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:42,333
As scientists, Erik and I have
to be very careful
498
00:21:42,458 --> 00:21:43,667
when analyzing data,
499
00:21:43,875 --> 00:21:46,417
but we couldn't deny
what Thomas pointed out.
500
00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:49,875
The UAP disappeared
right above the triangle.
501
00:21:50,042 --> 00:21:52,833
This is where we've documented
all kinds of strange phenomena
502
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,958
over the past few years.
503
00:21:55,917 --> 00:21:57,000
Oh, we got a malfunction.
504
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:58,167
Everybody watch out.
505
00:21:58,333 --> 00:22:00,625
Including a mysterious blob
506
00:22:00,792 --> 00:22:03,167
that seemed to cause
a rocket to explode.
507
00:22:03,375 --> 00:22:06,417
-What is that red circle?
-Whoa.
508
00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:09,458
TRAVIS:
Infrared lidar images
of a circular ring
509
00:22:09,625 --> 00:22:11,917
with a black void
right in the center.
510
00:22:13,292 --> 00:22:15,333
And another
doughnut-shaped anomaly
511
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:17,625
that we detected just last week.
512
00:22:17,792 --> 00:22:21,000
Could these things help explain
what caused this UAP
513
00:22:21,208 --> 00:22:23,542
to disappear above
the triangle yesterday?
514
00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:27,000
And if so,
what in the world could they be?
515
00:22:27,167 --> 00:22:28,833
BRYANT:
It's just more evidence
516
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,333
that there's something
above the triangle
517
00:22:30,458 --> 00:22:31,708
and we got to do
more work out there.
518
00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:33,250
Yeah, for sure.
519
00:22:33,417 --> 00:22:35,000
ERIK:
So, initially, you know,
520
00:22:35,167 --> 00:22:36,917
we were looking for GPR returns
521
00:22:37,083 --> 00:22:40,667
from underground, so, Jan,
what are the takeaways?
522
00:22:40,875 --> 00:22:43,042
JAN:
So I want to go back
and show you some things
523
00:22:43,208 --> 00:22:44,833
that stick out
in the radar data.
524
00:22:46,667 --> 00:22:48,833
TRAVIS:
After what Jan showed us
above the triangle,
525
00:22:49,042 --> 00:22:52,875
we had no idea what to expect
from the subsurface scans
526
00:22:53,042 --> 00:22:55,625
he conducted yesterday
in the same location
527
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:58,667
where previous magnetometry
and radar surveys
528
00:22:58,875 --> 00:23:02,292
have identified possible voids
or even metal tunnels
529
00:23:02,458 --> 00:23:04,542
between the triangle
and the mesa.
530
00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:08,125
So just at high level,
what are the takeaways?
531
00:23:08,292 --> 00:23:09,458
JAN:
When we look at the data
532
00:23:09,625 --> 00:23:11,375
what I want to show you is
533
00:23:11,542 --> 00:23:14,417
we did get
some interference right here.
534
00:23:14,625 --> 00:23:16,667
I don't know what that is.
535
00:23:16,833 --> 00:23:19,208
It could be a void,
it could be a metal object,
536
00:23:19,375 --> 00:23:20,833
it could be really anything,
537
00:23:20,958 --> 00:23:23,375
but it is different
than that surrounding material.
538
00:23:23,542 --> 00:23:25,083
Where is that?
539
00:23:25,250 --> 00:23:28,208
Uh, right-- if you can see
the gray marker on the map.
540
00:23:28,417 --> 00:23:29,750
Right about there.
541
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:31,417
TRAVIS:
Oh, wow.
542
00:23:31,583 --> 00:23:34,333
So it's really interesting
that the returns you have
543
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,500
seem to kind of point
544
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:38,042
-in a general area...
-Yes, absolutely.
545
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,667
-...right in that location...
-Yeah.
546
00:23:39,875 --> 00:23:40,833
TRAVIS:
...where the Lunasonde
data point is.
547
00:23:41,042 --> 00:23:42,500
JAN:
Yeah.
548
00:23:42,708 --> 00:23:43,917
TRAVIS: That there is something
giving you a return.
549
00:23:44,042 --> 00:23:45,458
JAN: Something's going on there,
absolutely.
550
00:23:46,292 --> 00:23:48,167
Wow.
551
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:49,542
TRAVIS:
Repeated data is exactly
552
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:52,042
what Erik and I look for
in our experiments.
553
00:23:52,208 --> 00:23:54,250
So for Jan's GPR survey
554
00:23:54,375 --> 00:23:58,167
to confirm that there could be
something strange underground
555
00:23:58,292 --> 00:23:59,833
between the triangle
and the mesa,
556
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,042
right where two previous
subsurface scans did, too,
557
00:24:03,208 --> 00:24:04,958
is incredible.
558
00:24:05,125 --> 00:24:06,375
The question now is,
559
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:08,500
what the heck could it be?
560
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,750
We have the rumors that there's
an underground base out here.
561
00:24:11,917 --> 00:24:13,833
-I know that.
-TRAVIS: But that's
just a rumor,
562
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,500
we have no evidence of it--
unless maybe this is
563
00:24:15,625 --> 00:24:16,833
evidence of that.
564
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,167
ERIK:
This area,
565
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:20,875
just to the west
of the triangle,
566
00:24:21,083 --> 00:24:24,167
seems to hold secrets
that I would love to discover.
567
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:25,708
Perhaps it's got
some relationship
568
00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:28,042
to all of the strange things
that we've seen
569
00:24:28,208 --> 00:24:29,917
at surface level.
570
00:24:30,083 --> 00:24:34,292
Yeah, I think that we need
to, uh, get our drill out there
571
00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:37,958
and probe it and poke it,
and see if we can--
572
00:24:38,125 --> 00:24:40,458
Get a sample back from it
is what we need, whatever it is.
573
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:42,583
Whether we bring in
a geotechnical drill,
574
00:24:42,750 --> 00:24:44,125
that we're just doing
a core sample down
575
00:24:44,292 --> 00:24:45,542
and seeing if we find something.
576
00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:47,458
I think a core sample
would be great.
577
00:24:47,625 --> 00:24:49,542

an accessible spot, so...

We inherited a narrative
on this ranch,
627
00:26:40,042 --> 00:26:41,708
that bad things happen
when you dig.
628
00:26:41,917 --> 00:26:45,667
And while I still can't say
whether or not that's true,
629
00:26:45,833 --> 00:26:47,958
I will tell you
that I've experienced
630
00:26:48,125 --> 00:26:51,292
a lot of bad things shortly
after I've dug on the ranch.
631
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,833
I suffered this injury in which
632
00:26:54,958 --> 00:26:58,000
my head became very swollen,
633
00:26:58,125 --> 00:27:01,500
and the thing
about this injury is
634
00:27:01,667 --> 00:27:03,417
that it affected me in a way
635
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:05,542
that the doctors were
just baffled.

00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:14,167
that when Jeremy handed it
to me, he told me
694
00:30:14,375 --> 00:30:16,625
that this is different
than what they see
695
00:30:16,792 --> 00:30:17,792
in most of their drilling.
696
00:30:17,917 --> 00:30:19,167
ERIK:
Okay.
697
00:30:20,875 --> 00:30:21,833
THOMAS:
Here we go.
698
00:30:22,042 --> 00:30:23,708
So if you could see,
699
00:30:23,875 --> 00:30:26,833
solid, solid, solid,
and then nothing.
700
00:30:26,917 --> 00:30:29,583
Like they just hit the ceiling
of whatever it was,
701
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:31,833
punched through and,
and that was it.
702
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,333
So that would imply a void.
703
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:35,708
Yes.
704
00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:37,917
ERIK:
Interesting.
705
00:30:44,208 --> 00:30:46,417
So that would imply a void?
ERIK:
706
00:30:46,583 --> 00:30:47,958
Yes.
707
00:30:49,167 --> 00:30:50,375
Interesting.
708
00:30:50,542 --> 00:30:53,375
Thomas is delivering
these core samples
709
00:30:53,542 --> 00:30:56,500
from the drill site
in sections to the table.
710
00:30:56,667 --> 00:30:59,125
We're at about 27 feet and...
711
00:30:59,292 --> 00:31:01,667
it appears that there's
some kind of opening.
712
00:31:01,833 --> 00:31:03,333
I'm really interested
in finding out
713
00:31:03,542 --> 00:31:05,167
how big this void is.
714
00:31:05,333 --> 00:31:07,333
And I can't help wondering,
what have we hit here
715
00:31:07,542 --> 00:31:08,917
beneath the triangle?
716
00:31:09,083 --> 00:31:10,875
It's almost like you drove
a pipe into a pipe.
717
00:31:11,042 --> 00:31:13,667
-Well, that's interesting.
-That's damn interesting.
718
00:31:13,833 --> 00:31:15,583
All right,
before we even move that,
719
00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:17,958
I want to take
a radiation measurement.
720
00:31:19,875 --> 00:31:21,958
♪ ♪
721
00:31:24,542 --> 00:31:26,125
So far, nothing.
722
00:31:27,042 --> 00:31:28,542
All right, well,
I'll tell you what,
723
00:31:28,708 --> 00:31:30,250
-um, I want,
I want to bag these samples.
-Yeah.
724
00:31:30,417 --> 00:31:32,000
Tell me if I'm wrong,
but it makes sense
725
00:31:32,167 --> 00:31:33,458
to just keep punching through
726
00:31:33,625 --> 00:31:35,125
to see how far
it goes like that.
727
00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:37,750
I think he's got the ability
to go another 20 feet.
728
00:31:37,917 --> 00:31:39,167
-I say let's do it.
-Okay.
729
00:31:39,375 --> 00:31:40,708
I mean, after all,
we are hitting
730
00:31:40,875 --> 00:31:42,333
something interesting
right there.
731
00:31:42,542 --> 00:31:43,917
Maybe I'll run over there
and tell him to,
732
00:31:44,083 --> 00:31:45,292
if possible, let's go
with the same hole.
733
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:47,167
Understood, yeah, okay.
If he's up for it.
734
00:31:47,333 --> 00:31:49,167
I don't know
what we've gotten into here,
735
00:31:49,333 --> 00:31:52,833
but we've just begun penetrating
736
00:31:52,958 --> 00:31:56,500
a very different region
from everything above.
737
00:31:56,667 --> 00:31:57,875
So, my instincts as a scientist,
738
00:31:58,042 --> 00:32:00,000
if not my impulse,
is to keep going.
739
00:32:00,167 --> 00:32:02,500
Let's find out
how big this void is.
740
00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:12,833
I'm getting like
a really bad metallic...
741
00:32:13,042 --> 00:32:14,792
-Taste?
-...taste, are you?
742
00:32:14,958 --> 00:32:16,542
Or just me?
743
00:32:17,917 --> 00:32:21,000
-No.
-Really weird.
744
00:32:21,125 --> 00:32:22,417
Do you feel all right?
745
00:32:22,625 --> 00:32:25,667
I feel fine, it's just like,
very metallic-y.
746
00:32:25,833 --> 00:32:27,333
MASON:
Well, you know what they say,
747
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,792
-it's a curse
to break ground out here.
-BRADY: Yeah.
748
00:32:30,958 --> 00:32:33,542
Well, if it gets worse,
say something.
749
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:35,667
ERIK:
Well, guys, you're going
to be interested in this.
750
00:32:35,792 --> 00:32:38,333
-Yeah?
-I just learned from Thomas...
751
00:32:38,542 --> 00:32:42,292
we ran into
what is essentially a void.
752
00:32:42,417 --> 00:32:44,792
-Wow.
-So I've asked him
to keep going,
753
00:32:44,958 --> 00:32:46,500
to just keep on punching through
754
00:32:46,667 --> 00:32:49,208
to see how deep that runs,
'cause that could explain
755
00:32:49,375 --> 00:32:52,000
that point that we saw
in the Lunasonde survey
756
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:54,292
and it could line up with
some of what Jan has shown us.
757
00:32:54,375 --> 00:32:56,125
So, while we've got it open,
we ought to
758
00:32:56,292 --> 00:32:57,958
just keep punching down through
to see what we get.
759
00:32:58,125 --> 00:32:59,292
Sounds like we're in agreement.
760
00:32:59,375 --> 00:33:00,458
-Yeah.
-Okay.
761
00:33:03,250 --> 00:33:05,333
Shut it down, shut it down.
762
00:33:07,167 --> 00:33:09,375
While we're ready
to start drilling
763
00:33:09,583 --> 00:33:12,167
beyond that 30-foot mark
that we were originally at,
764
00:33:12,375 --> 00:33:15,333
I go over to check on them and
see if we're ready to get going,
765
00:33:15,542 --> 00:33:18,167
and Brady just told me
766
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:21,667
that he's got a really strong
metallic taste in his mouth.
767
00:33:21,875 --> 00:33:23,958
Come on, we're going.
768
00:33:24,958 --> 00:33:27,542
Hey, guys. Somebody.
769
00:33:27,708 --> 00:33:28,625
Having been on this ranch,
770
00:33:28,792 --> 00:33:30,792
I've experienced that before,
771
00:33:30,917 --> 00:33:33,583
and for me personally
it's been accompanied by
772
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:35,792
some serious health issues,
773
00:33:35,958 --> 00:33:38,000
so I'm really concerned
at this point.
774
00:33:38,208 --> 00:33:40,208
So you-- Are you--
Like, are you feeling okay?
775
00:33:40,375 --> 00:33:42,708
No, I feel completely fine,
it's just the really, like,
776
00:33:42,917 --> 00:33:45,125
strong metallic taste
I have in my mouth.
777
00:33:45,208 --> 00:33:48,417
-Dragon!
-I feel completely normal.
778
00:33:48,625 --> 00:33:51,958
-When did you first...
-It's been about an hour now.
779
00:33:52,125 --> 00:33:53,250
THOMAS:
Oh, shoot.
780
00:33:53,417 --> 00:33:54,792
Hey, guys?
781
00:33:54,958 --> 00:33:56,667
TRAVIS:
What's happening, Erik?
782
00:33:56,833 --> 00:33:58,750
-Dragon!
-BRYANT: What's going on?
783
00:33:58,875 --> 00:34:00,333
THOMAS:
We-we have a safety issue
we need to address right now.
784
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,458
-Is something happening?
-What's going on?
785
00:34:02,625 --> 00:34:03,708
BRYANT:
I don't know. Thomas is just
on his way over.
786
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,333
Well, um...
He-- Look, he's...
787
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:06,750
-He's feeling fine.
-I feel perfectly fine.
788
00:34:06,917 --> 00:34:09,042
But he's had--
For the last little while,
789
00:34:09,250 --> 00:34:11,167
he's had a really strong
metallic taste in his mouth.
790
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:13,333
ERIK:
Oh, oh, whoa, whoa.
791
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:15,833
-That is a very strong sign
of something going on.
-Yeah.
792
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,500
ERIK:
And have you been
right over there
793
00:34:17,625 --> 00:34:19,375
-right next to the rig or on it?
-Yeah, I've been running it.
794
00:34:19,542 --> 00:34:21,167
ERIK:
Brady, from Snowshoe,
795
00:34:21,375 --> 00:34:23,833
is describing
metal taste in his mouth,
796
00:34:24,042 --> 00:34:25,333
and I recognize that right away
797
00:34:25,542 --> 00:34:27,333
as one of the potential
symptoms of exposure
798
00:34:27,542 --> 00:34:30,917
to a very high magnetic field,
among other things.
799
00:34:31,083 --> 00:34:33,333
Like increased levels
of radiation.
800
00:34:33,542 --> 00:34:35,625
I don't know exactly
what the cause is,
801
00:34:35,792 --> 00:34:37,125
but this is concerning.
802
00:34:37,292 --> 00:34:38,500
I think we should quit
talking about it
803
00:34:38,708 --> 00:34:39,500
and get him off the ranch.
804
00:34:39,708 --> 00:34:40,833
I agree. I agree, I agree.
805
00:34:40,958 --> 00:34:41,792
ERIK:
Hey, guys, you want to help me
806
00:34:41,917 --> 00:34:42,833
take some instruments over
807
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,292
and take some local readings?
808
00:34:44,417 --> 00:34:45,792
Maybe we need to go
measure the gamma's
809
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:46,708
-and stuff over there.
-All right.
810
00:34:46,875 --> 00:34:48,000
-I agree.
-Let's go.
811
00:34:48,167 --> 00:34:49,792
TRAVIS:
Now, I don't know if the legend
812
00:34:49,917 --> 00:34:51,500
about bad things happening
when you disturb the earth
813
00:34:51,667 --> 00:34:53,417
on Skinwalker Ranch is
true or not,
814
00:34:53,542 --> 00:34:55,625
but since Brady was
experiencing symptoms
815
00:34:55,792 --> 00:34:57,417
like you'd get
with high levels
816
00:34:57,542 --> 00:34:59,667
of electromagnetic
radiation exposure,
817
00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,083
we wanted to take
measurements and readings
818
00:35:02,250 --> 00:35:04,167
with our scanning devices
to see exactly
819
00:35:04,333 --> 00:35:06,167
what may be coming out
of that hole,
820
00:35:06,375 --> 00:35:08,125
and we all wanted
to make certain
821
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:09,417
we weren't in any danger.
822
00:35:09,583 --> 00:35:11,208
Uh...
823
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:12,958
I'm not getting anything
significant on the gamma ray.
824
00:35:13,125 --> 00:35:14,958
No, I'm getting exactly
the same reading
825
00:35:15,083 --> 00:35:16,375
as I got over there
on our table.
826
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:18,833
-It's not gamma rays.
-ERIK: Okay. So, so,
827
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:19,833
I don't see anything here
to account
828
00:35:19,958 --> 00:35:20,875
for what he is experiencing.
829
00:35:21,042 --> 00:35:22,542
TRAVIS:
Me, either.
830
00:35:22,708 --> 00:35:24,083
You know, just because
we're not getting anything
831
00:35:24,208 --> 00:35:26,333
with these instruments
doesn't necessarily mean
832
00:35:26,542 --> 00:35:28,083
that there wasn't
something affecting him.
833
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:30,250
Because it could be,
uh, microwaves.
834
00:35:30,375 --> 00:35:31,833
It could be anything.
835
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,500
-240.
-Oh, it's going up.
836
00:35:33,708 --> 00:35:36,000
-You got a 240?
-Yeah, I just got a 240.
837
00:35:36,208 --> 00:35:38,333
-TRAVIS: It spiked. Mine did,
too.
-0.3. 0.3. 0.3 right there.
838
00:35:38,458 --> 00:35:41,500
That's the highest reading
I've had today.
839
00:35:41,625 --> 00:35:44,375
-So that's two times
our normal measurement.
-And what are you measuring?
840
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:46,167
It's a measure of
the radiation dose per hour.
841
00:35:46,375 --> 00:35:49,083
So, we're-we're
at roughly, uh,
842
00:35:49,250 --> 00:35:51,042
500 to 1,000 times
below anything dangerous.
843
00:35:51,208 --> 00:35:53,125
Yeah. I can't connect the dots
844
00:35:53,208 --> 00:35:55,833
to a metallic taste
in his mouth.
845
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,500
THOMAS:
So, if I understand right,
846
00:35:57,708 --> 00:35:59,458
you guys are kind of
dead in the water
847
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:00,583
until the driller comes back,
so this is gonna sit as is.
848
00:36:00,750 --> 00:36:02,250
Yup.
849
00:36:02,458 --> 00:36:03,833
ERIK:
Oh, so you can't keep going?
850
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,958
-No.
-Yeah, so we need to...
851
00:36:05,125 --> 00:36:06,667
I did not understand that.
852
00:36:06,833 --> 00:36:08,125
I find that interesting, right?
853
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:11,292
How is it that the one, uh...
854
00:36:11,417 --> 00:36:15,000
weak link in the chain
is what got attacked or affected
855
00:36:15,167 --> 00:36:16,375
and can't be here
to continue drilling?
856
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:18,125
The critical link in the chain.
857
00:36:18,292 --> 00:36:19,458
TRAVIS:
The critical link is right.
Yeah.
858
00:36:19,625 --> 00:36:21,250
ERIK:
I'm sure this won't be the last
859
00:36:21,417 --> 00:36:23,333
frustration of its kind
on the ranch
860
00:36:23,417 --> 00:36:25,000
when we're doing
something like this,
861
00:36:25,167 --> 00:36:26,542
trying to drill into the ground
or into the mesa.
862
00:36:26,750 --> 00:36:29,500
I'm not prepared to give up
on this location,
863
00:36:29,667 --> 00:36:31,667
but at least for now we're
going to have to shut down,
864
00:36:31,875 --> 00:36:34,292
regroup, and figure out
how we're gonna go forward.
865
00:36:35,958 --> 00:36:38,208
-I'm starting to taste metal.
I'm not kidding.
-What?
866
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:40,333
-I'm not kidding you.
-You're tasting metal now, too?
867
00:36:40,458 --> 00:36:41,833
Yeah. I'm not kidding you,
I'm-I'm tasting it.
868
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,625
All right, then you need--
You now have to leave.
869
00:36:44,792 --> 00:36:46,250
-Come on.
-All right,
let's get out of here.
870
00:36:46,458 --> 00:36:49,042
All right,
just because of this second one,
871
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:51,083
I want you guys to load up.
872
00:36:51,292 --> 00:36:52,833
Clear out as quick as you can.
873
00:36:57,625 --> 00:36:58,958
Hey, guys.
874
00:36:59,167 --> 00:37:00,500
ERIK:
You're not gonna believe this.
875
00:37:00,708 --> 00:37:02,333
I was standing over there
and I start-- no kidding,
876
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,375
I started to taste
that metal taste in my mouth.
877
00:37:04,542 --> 00:37:05,708
No kidding.
878
00:37:05,917 --> 00:37:07,375
Well, you're no different
than anybody else.
879
00:37:07,542 --> 00:37:08,917
We got to get you out of here.
880
00:37:09,083 --> 00:37:11,292
ERIK:
This is bad.
881
00:37:14,958 --> 00:37:16,500
-This is bad.
you out o.
882
00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:18,583
It-It's like when you touch
your tongue to a battery.
883
00:37:18,708 --> 00:37:20,792
That's the first time
I've experienced that,
884
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:22,000
is standing next to that rig.
885
00:37:22,167 --> 00:37:23,375
Uh, he's the second one,
886
00:37:23,583 --> 00:37:25,292
so we need to get him
out of here.
887
00:37:25,458 --> 00:37:26,958
It could be a phenomenology
that we never heard of before.
888
00:37:27,125 --> 00:37:28,375
-Right?
-Exactly.
889
00:37:28,542 --> 00:37:30,125
Let's go look at that drill rig
again.
890
00:37:30,292 --> 00:37:32,375
After drilling into a void,
891
00:37:32,542 --> 00:37:34,375
right where
we've detected evidence
892
00:37:34,542 --> 00:37:36,542
of a possible metal tunnel
below the triangle,
893
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,542
Erik Bard
and driller Brady Davis
894
00:37:39,667 --> 00:37:42,500
suddenly had the sensation
of tasting metal in their mouths
895
00:37:42,667 --> 00:37:44,375
and had to be
rushed off the property.
896
00:37:44,542 --> 00:37:46,417
We're not sure exactly
what caused it,
897
00:37:46,583 --> 00:37:48,333
so Thomas and I needed to see
898
00:37:48,542 --> 00:37:49,708
if we could figure it out.
899
00:37:51,125 --> 00:37:52,667
TRAVIS:
Where was Erik standing?
900
00:37:52,833 --> 00:37:53,875
THOMAS:
Right here.
901
00:37:54,875 --> 00:37:57,292
Like, it's something
in this area right here.
902
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,417
Oh.
903
00:38:03,875 --> 00:38:05,792
Uh, put your hand on that.
904
00:38:09,042 --> 00:38:10,000
TRAVIS:
Dude.
905
00:38:10,208 --> 00:38:12,250
♪ ♪
906
00:38:14,708 --> 00:38:16,542
That's crazy, man.
907
00:38:16,708 --> 00:38:19,167
I feel like
my sinuses are getting, like,
908
00:38:19,375 --> 00:38:21,000
just like I'm going up
in an airplane.
909
00:38:21,125 --> 00:38:23,958
So, I can feel this nerve
in my arm
910
00:38:24,083 --> 00:38:25,792
right here,
all the way up my arm.
911
00:38:25,958 --> 00:38:27,625
THOMAS:
Yeah, I feel it,
like-- like my skin's crawling.
912
00:38:27,792 --> 00:38:30,792
This thing's highly electrically
charged, is what it is.
913
00:38:32,542 --> 00:38:35,417
This is crazy. As soon
as we touched the drill rig,
914
00:38:35,583 --> 00:38:38,000
both Thomas and I
felt electric shocks.
915
00:38:38,208 --> 00:38:40,333
It's like grabbing
an electric fence, dude.
916
00:38:41,333 --> 00:38:42,500
Then my fingers start tingling.
917
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:43,875
Yeah.
918
00:38:44,042 --> 00:38:45,333
TRAVIS:
So, I got the idea
919
00:38:45,542 --> 00:38:47,500
for a quick experiment
with volt meters
920
00:38:47,708 --> 00:38:50,792
to see just how much electricity
it was actually conducting.
921
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:54,583
If we measured anything more
than a tiny fraction of a volt,
922
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:56,833
it would mean that
we had drilled into something
923
00:38:57,042 --> 00:39:00,625
very strange under the ground
near the triangle.
924
00:39:00,792 --> 00:39:01,917
All right.
First touch them together
925
00:39:02,083 --> 00:39:03,500
to make sure they say zero.
926
00:39:03,625 --> 00:39:05,667
Yep. Now touch the black one
to the ground
927
00:39:05,833 --> 00:39:08,458
and the red one
to the pole somewhere.
928
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:14,458
Oh, yeah, look at that.
929
00:39:14,625 --> 00:39:16,250
Oh, we're getting
more than a half a volt
930
00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:18,292
from there to there, easy.
931
00:39:18,417 --> 00:39:19,542
THOMAS:
Where's the electricity
coming from?
932
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:21,375
Is this putting electricity out?
933
00:39:21,542 --> 00:39:23,917
TRAVIS:
No, look at that.
934
00:39:24,083 --> 00:39:26,000
And there is electricity.
935
00:39:26,125 --> 00:39:29,792
There is absolutely electricity
built up on this thing.
936
00:39:29,917 --> 00:39:31,458
There shouldn't be any,
should there?
937
00:39:31,583 --> 00:39:34,042
No, not that much,
not unless he was drilling
938
00:39:34,208 --> 00:39:35,583
into something conductive
939
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:37,417
that had electricity
flowing through.
940
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:40,458
Now, a half a volt
of electricity
941
00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:41,958
really isn't that much.
942
00:39:42,083 --> 00:39:43,500
It wouldn't even be enough
943
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:46,542
to power a laptop computer
or a light bulb.
944
00:39:46,708 --> 00:39:49,000
But here's the point:
this was at least
945
00:39:49,208 --> 00:39:51,458
ten times more
than there should be.
946
00:39:51,625 --> 00:39:54,708
Unless there's something
artificial down there.
947
00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:56,042
Is it a tunnel?
948
00:39:56,208 --> 00:39:57,500
Well, we don't know that yet,
949
00:39:57,708 --> 00:39:59,708
and we don't know
exactly what caused
950
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:01,667
Erik and Brady
to start tasting metal.
951
00:40:01,875 --> 00:40:04,417
Maybe there really is something
to the legend
952
00:40:04,583 --> 00:40:07,125
that bad things happen
when you disturb the ground
953
00:40:07,292 --> 00:40:08,583
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
954
00:40:08,708 --> 00:40:11,458
Hopefully, those guys are okay.
955
00:40:12,667 --> 00:40:15,125
All right, well, I'm convinced
now it's electrical.
956
00:40:15,292 --> 00:40:16,500
Uh, yeah, I am, too.
957
00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:18,792
TRAVIS:
Amazing stuff, man.
958
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:21,375
THOMAS:
Yeah, it's crazy for sure.
959
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,667
TRAVIS:
We have a lot of data
960
00:40:24,833 --> 00:40:26,833
and high-speed camera video
to analyze,
961
00:40:27,042 --> 00:40:29,667
so once we make sure
everyone is safe,
962
00:40:29,875 --> 00:40:31,708
we're gonna regroup
to see what else
963
00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:33,708
today's experiments
will help reveal,
964
00:40:33,875 --> 00:40:36,458
and then we can decide
how best to move forward
965
00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:39,875
and figure out just what
really is below the triangle.
966
00:40:40,875 --> 00:40:42,250
ERIK:
If it turns out that we are
967
00:40:42,417 --> 00:40:44,167
dealing with
continuous structures,
968
00:40:44,333 --> 00:40:47,208
anything at all like tunnels,
then that does lend credence
969
00:40:47,375 --> 00:40:50,958
to the reports that we've heard
of artificial structures,
970
00:40:51,083 --> 00:40:54,500
even things referred to
as bases beneath the ranch,
971
00:40:54,625 --> 00:40:58,167
and we are going to have
to investigate deeper
972
00:40:58,375 --> 00:41:00,458
what's underground
there at the triangle
973
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,333
and perhaps
in the east canyon area.
974
00:41:02,542 --> 00:41:04,250
BRANDON:
Why do we continue to see
975
00:41:04,375 --> 00:41:08,167
such disturbing events unfold
on this piece of property?
976
00:41:08,375 --> 00:41:12,417
What lies in the regions
beyond the area of the triangle,
977
00:41:12,542 --> 00:41:14,917
the east field
and even the homesteads?
978
00:41:15,083 --> 00:41:18,167
Will we get answers
by further exploring
979
00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:20,333
the region of Dry Gulch Creek?
980
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,542
Will there be
additional evidence
981
00:41:22,750 --> 00:41:24,750
of potential dire wolves,
982
00:41:24,917 --> 00:41:28,958
or some other type of
strange phenomenon?
983
00:41:30,042 --> 00:41:31,500
Time will tell.
984
00:41:34,042 --> 00:41:34,708
