‐ (horn honks) ‐SEGALA: Let's get to it.
TRAVIS: The GPR has given us an "X" marks the spot.
SEGALA: They're hitting something hard now.
Man, they're on something.
ERIK: There is an unnatural structure beneath this property.
‐That whole thing's shaking. ‐BRYANT: Look at that.
‐What is that? ‐SEGALA: Why is that rocking like that?
‐TRAVIS: Oh! ‐TOM: There we go.
THOMAS: I'm hoping that bringing an exotic animal
on the ranch will stimulate
whatever is mutilating these cattle.
TOM: The alpacas have been torn apart.
What is that?
It's hard to say exactly what bit them.
I'm really glad that, whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
(animal cries on video)
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.
TRAVIS: All right, well,
I think we're ready to go down
and hook this thing up.
Got everybody rounded up, huh?
‐KALEB: Yeah. ‐KANDUS: Yup.
TRAVIS: For some time now, Tom Lewis and Kandus Linde,
the two caretakers who live at Homestead One,
they've been hearing a lot of strange noises
coming from their basement.
Right there, perfect. Don't, don't move.
Just stop right there.
A few weeks ago, Tom Winterton and I went over to see
if we could find anything that might explain
what's going on.
‐You see that? ‐Mm‐hmm.
Although we didn't find what caused the noises,
we did find a really strange sealed‐off room
that had absolutely nothing in it
except a few animal bones.
And we couldn't figure out how in the world
those bones got inside there.
What in the world?
‐TOM: Cremation remains? ‐TRAVIS: That's what I'm thinking.
KANDUS: It looks like.
So, uh, here's how I want to do this.
I want it to be as realistic as possible.
So, we put a microphone right into the middle
of that chamber, and then we'll
see the data up here.
Now, in light of all the other phenomena
and things that we've seen in the past few weeks,
we decided to set up an audio experiment
to see if those sounds that Tom and Kandus are hearing
in the basement are natural or something else.
We have this theory‐‐
that concrete room under the house
is acting like a big bass drum or a bass cello.
And when you vibrate the house or the area around it,
like walking or closing doors,
when they're drilling in the oil wells
with those big trucks,
I believe that it's picking up that acoustic vibration,
and it may be what causes some of the phenomena
that have been observed in this house.
Low bass noises and infrasonic sound,
it can vibrate your eyeballs in the sockets
and stimulate the optic nerve
and actually make you think you're seeing things.
And it can cause nausea
and it also can stimulate the fight‐or‐flight reflex.
And so you might get that creepy
being‐watched feeling.
And it could be because
of that concrete chamber down there.
‐Let's go. Let's do it. ‐KANDUS: All right.
‐Ready, sir, ready? ‐Yeah.
Yep.
TRAVIS: We got the experiment all set up
to test the acoustics of this room underneath
Tom and Kandus's house.
So I've got Tom and Kandus walking around in there.
Slamming doors, opening up the oven, refrigerator,
flushing the toilet. And it's really interesting.
Everything they do is echoing really big in this system.
Uh, bedroom, walking around.
Closet door in the bedroom.
Three, two...
‐ERIK: Oh, wow. ‐TRAVIS: Something happened.
How you‐you could‐‐ It's like hitting a drum, I'm telling you.
‐You can hear it reverberating. ‐Yeah.
Do me a favor and maybe, uh,
stomp the floor.
Oh, my goodness.
‐Look at that. ‐ERIK: Look at that.
That's amazing, guys.
Do me a favor and, uh,
let's do, uh, the closet door
one more time?
10‐4.
(whirring over monitor)
Hey, is their air conditioner on?
Noise level seems a little wider.
(whirring continues)
Hear that?
THOMAS: What the hell?
What is it, Thomas?
Helicopter.
TRAVIS: There is a helicopter.
But is‐is it turning?
ERIK: No.
I'm gonna go grab the binoculars.
TRAVIS: That dude's hovering right there.
I think somebody's watching us right now.
‐That's exactly what it looks like. ‐I think so, too.
Huh.
Can you see 'em with the binoculars good, Tom?
Yeah, here, come take a look.
It could be Life Flight.
Here, hold the radio.
I don't see a cross on it, though,
like you'd expect with a rescue.
THOMAS: He's going extremely slow.
That's not the behavior I would expect
from a Life Flight.
I want to check it out.
TOM: Yeah.
TRAVIS: It's a pretty big helicopter, though.
Yeah, our Life Flight one is not that big, I don't think.
ERIK: So, guys, I'm gonna try to go in
and look at the transponder data.
See if I can figure out who it is.
THOMAS: Yeah, that's a good idea, Erik.
TRAVIS: It's got a sky ball on the bottom of it.
That thing looks like it has a big camera
on the bottom of it, too.
‐Oh, it does. ‐Do you see it?
It does have a camera on the bottom.
TRAVIS: They're watching us, guys.
BRYANT: First, I thought, is Brandon coming in?
And as we raced out and got eyes on it,
we realized it's no helicopter that we recognize,
and it was definitely hovering above the mesa...
...and possibly over Homestead Two.
Which really concerns me quite a bit.
I don't know who this is
or what they're doing here,
but they're not supposed to be here.
KALEB: Looks like it's heading just straight west now.
‐I'm losing it. ‐TRAVIS: Hey, Kaleb, y'all see the helicopter?
Yeah, looks like it's just heading west over the mesa.
TRAVIS: I don't see it, guys. It's gone.
THOMAS: What's the purpose of them flying over?
Are they just curious as to what we're doing down here?
Why does someone get a private helicopter
and mount a camera and fly over Skinwalker Ranch?
Uh, it definitely makes you feel like you're being spied on.
It was the behavior that was...
TRAVIS: It's like they were watching us.
Well, if they're transponding, Erik will pick 'em up on our...
I hope‐‐ well, they, they should by law, right,
be transponding. What do we got, Erik?
They didn't show up at all.
Not transponding, then?
So they had their transponder turned off.
Evidently.
So I was just telling them...
depending on the airspace,
and I don't think this is an A or a B class airspace.
‐It's probably E. ‐Right.
Then, uh, you don't have to have a transponder,
uh, till you get to a certain altitude.
‐That's right. ‐And so they could have turned it off
so that we couldn't track them.
Yeah, they were clearly looking for something.
Why, why would you turn it off, though?
I mean, isn't it in your best interest
‐to be transponding? ‐If you have an emergency,
you want people to know where you are,
and so you would turn it off 'cause you don't want people
to know where you are.
Now, you don't have to fly
with it on. I mean, it's not
a law that you have to have it on,
but it's just dumb, right?
Or you're doing something clandestine.
During the time when Robert Bigelow owned the ranch,
the federal government spent many years
working with him to investigate this place.
So, now that we're here,
and we've been experiencing a lot of bizarre phenomena...
It wasn't 500 feet above the mesa.
I'm wondering if this helicopter's evidence
that we're being watched?
Someone's here checking out what we're doing.
In the early '90s, Robert Bigelow, uh, you know,
billionaire entrepreneur,
real estate developer and aerospace entrepreneur,
founded the National Institute of Discovery Science.
Which was his own privately funded effort
to really investigate the UFO phenomena,
cattle mutilations, and all sorts of high strangeness.
What started off as a privately funded research effort
transitioned on the ranch to that program,
which was sponsored by the Pentagon.
It remains to this day cloaked in secrecy.
And a lot of the efforts or the findings
that came out of those years
of intense study on this property,
you know, remain under lock and key.
They have a big sky ball on the bottom of it.
‐Yeah, we saw that. ‐TRAVIS: Yeah.
That made it look like they were watching us.
KALEB: Could it be a news helicopter or something?
BRYANT: Usually news helicopters have
an identification on it.
Well, they clearly had a camera on the bottom of that thing.
‐Mm‐hmm. ‐Yeah.
Absolutely, it did. You could see it really well.
‐Yeah. ‐Makes you wonder...
what in the world they're doing here.
THOMAS: Travis, there's something going on out here.
What in the world?
It's just dead.
I recommend not to touch it
till we see if it's radioactive.
Look at‐‐ the meter's going crazy.
All the frequencies are excited.
TRAVIS: Mankind doesn't know how to do that.
We need to get out of here, guys.
(phone ringing)
TRAVIS: Hello.
‐THOMAS: Travis. ‐Hey, Thomas.
THOMAS: Hey. I'm not sure where you're at on the property.
But, uh, there's something going on out here.
Come over here and check it out.
We need to figure out what happened.
(panting)
TRAVIS: Hey, y'all.
What in the world?
THOMAS: No sign of trauma.
Tom and I rolled it over just to see if we could see
any animal markings on it.
There's no cat tracks. There's no sign of struggle.
‐KANDUS: Middle of the day... ‐It's just dead.
It's hard to kill a cow.
TOM: I saw her this morning, but she was alive.
Was that late morning?
THOMAS: It's been dead for a couple hours at least.
You know, it really disturbs me.
We've gone three years and haven't had an incident.
And now we have the alpacas getting attacked,
we've got a cow that's dead.
I don't know, that's weird.
I think next steps is,
we need to account for the rest of the cattle
and make sure that we don't have any others that are down.
‐Kandus and Tom, you go out and look for the cows... ‐BOTH: Okay.
...and make sure that we've got 41.
I want you to close the gate over on this field,
and then the one going across the road,
right there by the canal, which will keep the herd
from coming in.
I don't want the herd around this cow.
And let's lock them out of this east pasture
and keep them over there for now.
And then we get the vet, try to determine cause of death.
‐Yeah. Let's go count. ‐Yeah.
So, everyone, I think the best thing we can do
is treat this like a crime scene.
I'll start taking photos, um, 'cause the more
we move it around here, the more we could disturb something.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
So everyone go out.
All right, why don't you guys follow me out?
‐All right. ‐TRAVIS: One of the really cool things
is that Kaleb treated the plae
like he was a‐a police detective.
(phone camera clicks)
He would try not to disturb the crime scene,
and he would investigate it,
take pictures, take data.
He wanted to gather as much evidence as he could.
And while he's doing this, Thomas yelled at me
because suddenly his phone starts going crazy.
Look at this. Feel‐feel my phone.
It's going vibrate to mute, vibrate to mute like crazy.
Holy crap.
And we know that when phones go crazy on the ranch,
that's an indication that there are strange
electromagnetic signals hitting us.
‐Get that over there. ‐The meter's going nuts.
So I immediately grabbed a TriField meter
to go out and start making measurements.
I was just taking photos,
and my phone started doing its own thing.
It started to take, like... swapping over to video.
Yep, that's what mine was doing.
It started in my photos.
(high‐pitched pulsating whine)
Look at‐‐ the meter's just going crazy.
Jumping high, then it jumps back to zero.
My phone starts freaking out whenever your TriField goes off.
I don't have any control over my phone right now.
Dude, look at that.
Standing next to Kaleb and the dead cow,
when his phone was getting hi,
the TriField meter was getting hit.
So we got two measurements correlating there was a strange
electromagnetic signal.
I have no idea where these crazy signals are coming from,
but what I do know is, it seems to be localized
around this dead cow.
13, 14, we're at 15, 16...
Is it still doing it?
Hey, it's at, it's at five‐‐ It's 18.
It just jumped to 18 just then.
The microwave signals that we measured
were as much as 20 milliwatts per meter squared.
When I take the same meter and stand in front of a microwave
while popping popcorn, it only reads about
two milliwatts per meter squared.
So this would be like being inside the microwave.
Jim, are you seeing anything on the spectrum analyzer?
Actually, I am.
THOMAS: You are? What are you seeing?
Something down in the lower areas.
So I'm getting some pretty high spikes.
TRAVIS: Oh, wow.
SEGALA: So, the noise floor has significantly gone up.
THOMAS: What does this mean?
‐All the frequencies are excited. ‐TRAVIS: At once.
‐Almost instantaneously. Boom. ‐Right.
So what that means is, you would have
all the way from microwaves down to past the AM
and ham radio bands, all of 'em on at once.
And this is the whole thing just raising up and down like that.
We don't even know how to do that.
Mankind doesn't know how to do that.
Something could be happening right now out of the ordinary.
Uh, we don't know what it is,
but we're seeing it with multiple instruments.
We need to get out of here, guys.
Let's get out of here.
THOMAS: Is there really a safe place on this ranch?
We're quickly losing places that are safe to go on this ranch.
♪ ♪
TOM: You see anything?
No.
Well, if they're smart, they're laying in the shade.
THOMAS: There were several things running through my head
as I realized that we have a dead cow.
One was noticing that the entire herd
had pushed out of the field.
The fact that they're gone? That's disturbing.
‐You see their heads poking out? ‐Not yet.
And my first thought was to have Tom and Kandus
go do a head count.
And make sure that this is an isolated incident,
and that we don't have additional cows
that are missing.
KANDUS: Oh.
Here we go.
We could probably hop out here.
‐Should we jump out? ‐Yeah.
Three here. Four, five, six, seven, eight.
‐I count eight right there. ‐Yeah.
KANDUS: So, we found the cattle on the property
all clustered over here in this area,
where they have never been before.
19, 20, 21, 22...
Their location, it made me think
they were scared of something.
'Cause they‐‐ why...? There are so many other places
on the ranch.
‐I count 30. ‐Yep.
‐30? ‐30.
There's so much other shade.
The options are unlimited
for where they could choose
to go to.
38, 39, 40.
So we're looking for maybe one more.
Yeah, missing one.
I was thinking, why are they clustered
over here in this corner?
20 on this side.
Okay, I'm still ge‐‐ Oh, there's 41.
There you go. There you go.
All of them were back here.
And that was one thought I had was: what are they afraid of?
‐41. Yep. ‐All right.
Okay, let's go close this fence now.
Yeah, we could‐‐ Yeah.
‐Close that gate and the gate up on the road. ‐Okay.
‐All right? Head back? ‐Sounds good. Yeah.
THOMAS: As we observed these cows' behavior,
one of the things is, is that they've really
just been grazing on the east side of the ranch
for some time now.
And then, when Tom and Kandus report,
the cows are pushed as far wet on the property as they can g.
And having watched these cows for several months,
they haven't spent any time over there
in that very western side.
So the fact that they're over there today
at the time that this cow dies, and the time that we're
experiencing all these anomalies is very curious.
And it makes me wonder if there's a connection
between the two.
So, we're gonna close this one?
‐Yep. ‐Okay.
TRAVIS: Animals actually detect things a little differently
than humans do sometimes.
I've actually seen experiments where insects were exposed
to microwave radiation,
and they could detect it and move away to safe spots.
I‐I believe that the cows could probably
have a similar capability.
All right...
If something weird were to happen,
like strange radiation or microwaves or something,
they might feel it or detect it some way
and just move away from it.
‐Good? ‐Mm‐hmm. Yeah.
So now, if the spot where the cow died
is a spot where they avoid, that might mean something.
Barbed wire.
And if something happened at that location,
we need to do a much deeper investigation.
MIKE: We're just breaking into the rib cage.
So, we're into the lungs and heart.
It's very, very possible that it was stress‐induced.
The animal got stressed by something.
And that stress would have been something recent?
Oh, yeah.
TRAVIS: We called the vet because we don't know the cause of death
for this cow.
And it might be something natural, because cows do die
all the time, but they don't die all the time while there's
crazy‐weird electromagnetic signals around them.
How are we?
‐Good, how are you doing? ‐Good.
‐Thomas. ‐Mike Gamble.
THOMAS: Obviously, if the cow was diseased or something,
that's something that could affect the rest of the herd.
Or maybe there's something there that will give us some answers
on the things we're looking for.
It's back here. We'll just lead you back.
When did you find her?
A couple hours ago.
So, we had eyes on it earlier,
and, uh, she was alive.
We probably found her within an hour or two
‐of her being gone. ‐Okay.
SEGALA: Got a little bit of blood coming out the nostril.
Looks like surfactant coming out.
You say she's just a couple years old?
‐She's two year old. ‐Two year old?
Let's roll her over.
You need any help with anything, let us know.
Well, I just need to stand her up on her back, kind of.
Keep her a little bit stable.
THOMAS: Watching the vet, it actually
made me think of the mutilations
that have taken place on Skinwalker Ranch.
Some of these mutilations have reported to have taken place
in ten or 20 minutes;
that a cow was observed to be
alive and well, and then come back and find it mutilated.
So, are you cutting into the lungs, then?
Is that what you're trying to do?
Not yet.
But if you have a pair of tree loppers, I could use 'em.
I think I forgot mine.
‐Tree loppers? ‐Loppers?
‐Yep. ‐Yep. I'll grab 'em.
THOMAS: It took a lot of effort
for this vet to get into this cow
and to really do a thorough examination.
And it made me realize just
how more incredulous these stories are
of these cows being mutilated.
Let me see those tree loppers. Thank you.
We're just breaking into the rib cage.
The fact that they could do something like this
in 20 minutes when the vet,
through a great deal of effort, took a lot longer than that
to get into this cow was pretty telling to me.
The other thing was the amount of blood
and just how messy an ordeal like this is.
There again, the mutilations
were reported to have been very clean.
No blood.
No signs of any type of surgery that took place.
And that definitely wasn't the case here.
So, we're into the lungs.
Lungs and heart.
SEGALA: That's a big heart. Wow.
That's huge.
MIKE: We got a lot of consolidation of the lungs right here.
Most of this black color is postmortem
pooling of the blood.
It's very, very possible that it was stress‐induced.
Wow.
Stress will bring on pneumonia.
‐Oh, really? ‐MIKE: Yeah.
Cows, they get stressed,
and the pathogens that cause pneumonia
are typically already within the cow.
SEGALA: If this cow got stressed,
would that bring on an acute reaction?
Yes, stress will cause it.
So, the heart looks normal.
I don't see anything on the valves.
So, you're not seeing anything that shows disease or...
‐Just the lungs. ‐THOMAS: Just the pneumonia.
Just the lungs, yeah.
And that's‐that's enough to kill her.
Is there some particular type of stress
that will cause this?
I would worry about predators.
That could have stressed this cow out.
Whatever it was that came and attacked the alpaca.
‐Oh, yeah. ‐Yeah.
SEGALA: I just want to verify something,
that the animal was going about her business,
doing her thing, got stressed by something.
That lowered her immune system,
which allowed pneumonia to set in.
Which, then‐‐ that was the final‐‐ the key.
So, the impetus, what the main thing was
is that she got stressed somehow.
Exactly, yeah.
All‐all the signs I've seen point toward
stress‐induced pneumonia.
THOMAS: And that stress would have been something recent?
Oh, yeah.
So, if they got spooked and headed out,
and she wanted to go with them
‐and couldn't... ‐Oh, yeah.
...that would definitely stress her out.
Definitely, yeah.
TRAVIS: Well, hearing that the cow died
of something that was
stress‐induced,
if stress was the thing that caused this cow
to get this pneumonia and die rapidly,
what was the stressor?
Animals are attuned to their senses
a little better than humans are,
and it's possible that
when this cow was being exposed to microwaves,
that it was feeling it.
This cow must not have moved to safety in time.
I think that we should get an enclosure around that
and protect it from predators tonight.
‐And, uh, grab a few panels to put around it. ‐Okay.
And again, I want to thank you for coming out so quickly.
‐You did such a good job. ‐Yeah, thanks, Doctor. ‐Yeah, no problem.
THOMAS: One of those things where we hope we don't see it again,
but maybe we will.
(phone ringing)
BRANDON: Brandon Fugal.
BRYANT: Hey, Brandon. It's, uh, Bryant.
I've got Erik here with me. How's it going?
Ah, things seemed to have been going just fine,
but we did have a bit of an incident
with part of the livestock today.
Yeah, we came up on a deceased one of the herd.
Whoa.
Um, we didn't see any sort of wounds
on the exterior of the animal.
Um, for all intents and purposes,
it looked just like a perfectly healthy cow
that just laid down and died for whatever reason.
The vet went out there and kind of assessed it.
So, Brandon, it was evident this animal was in distress.
So, we had several instruments out there...
‐The spectrum analyzer? ‐The spectrum analyzer,
as well as the, uh, TriField meter.
You know, we got big RF spikes during that time.
BRYANT: Interestingly enough, Kaleb‐‐
that crazy thing with his phone started to happen again.
Travis grabbed a TriField meter and went racing out there,
and the RF was way off the charts.
Okay, that sounds like a good plan.
Okay. Thanks, Brandon.
We'll talk to you later.
All right, bye‐bye.
KANDUS: So, the next step was getting them out of the corral.
With this top barbed wire, and then the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here as long as it's secure.
But things could be coming from the sky.
♪ ♪
BRANDON: Upon hearing that we had one of the cows
found dead on the property under mysterious circumstances,
I immediately
drove back to the ranch
to truly see what is happenin,
what is at work.
What kind of events
led up to and surrounded the death of that animal?
I want to get to the bottom of that.
♪ ♪
‐BRYANT: Hey, boss. ‐(chuckling): Hey.
Good to see you.
I'd like you gentlemen to meet
‐Linda Moulton Howe. ‐How do you do?
‐Thomas. It's nice to meet you. ‐Thomas, thank you.
‐Jim. ‐Hi, Jim.
BRANDON: I immediately reached out
to Linda Moulton Howe, who is a world‐renowned expert
when it comes to the cattle mutilation phenomenon.
She has spent decades being an active field investigator.
So I felt bringing her on the property
was going to be important to truly understand
whether what we were seeing was anomalous.
Whether it was strange or whether this was something
that had a natural explanation.
Linda is the foremost expert on the planet
when it comes to some of the strange phenomena
you've reported that has occurred here on the ranch
the last several days.
And I think with the elevated urgency,
the death of the cow,
I think it was important to bring Linda out
as soon as possible to consult with the team
and give us hopefully greater insight.
So, tell us what has been happening the last few days.
Well, we can tell you about it,
but we can also show you some of it.
You know, we've had some things happen with the cattle.
And, uh, there's some footage I'd like to share with you.
Great. Great.
You know, cows die all the time.
It's just part of being on a ranch.
‐Right. ‐THOMAS: The interesting thing about this
was that it was surrounded by a number of anomalies
taking place within a short period of time.
That's what got my attention.
That's what elevated the urgency with me.
So, when you take and add all of the things together,
it‐it starts to draw a picture
that maybe it's not just a cow dying.
So, Linda, what would you suggest we do,
‐as far as next steps? ‐Well...
uh, I am really interested in looking at the cow.
‐Okay. ‐BRANDON: Great.
I'd like to go immediately with Erik
to start looking at the footage.
‐Let's do that. ‐Okay. We'll grab you, then.
We'll head over and we'll meet up a little bit later.
‐Great. ‐Okay.
THOMAS: So, we immediately take Linda out to see the cow.
LINDA: Oh, boy.
THOMAS: And even though it's only been 12 hours,
there's obviously definitely an odor
and‐and the insects around it.
LINDA: You fenced it so we could keep out the predators.
SEGALA: That's correct.
LINDA: And what we are looking at is after necropsy?
SEGALA: Yes.
THOMAS: You know, this particular cow,
for two years, she has done everything normally,
and... she's... she's been fine.
LINDA: Well, the first thing is,
if it had been a classic cattle mutilation,
the first thing you would do is,
you would look at the sky‐facing head.
And that is where the sky‐facing ear would be gone.
Sky‐facing eye would be removed.
And often, in a circle of fleh around, taking out the eyebal,
‐the eyelids, in a perfect circle. ‐Okay.
The jaw would be...
‐right here, like this. ‐Right.
So, when the vet did its... his work,
‐he didn't find any of that type of damage. ‐Right.
But what he did say‐‐ it was very, very interesting‐‐
is, he felt that stress came first.
So it was a stressful moment for the cow,
which dropped the immune system.
Every time you're stressed, your immune system drops.
He saw some irritation in the lungs
and actually showed us the pus.
‐It was, like, very dramatic. ‐Right.
There was some stress that brought on the initial symptoms.
KANDUS: Then, another thing was that it was acute.
It wasn't, like, a slow progression. It was something...
The stress came on really fast.
‐Yeah. ‐And then it took him down...
as fast.
I accept that the veterinarian,
uh, did the necropsy, saw the pus.
But if there is stress involved,
as the veterinarian himself suggested, why?
What is the stress, and is there something
still ongoing in the Skinwalker Ranch?
THOMAS: Many of the animals that she has seen mutilated
were missing their eye that was facing skyward.
So, while this isn't a textbook mutilation,
the fact that the cow died
from stress definitely intrigued her.
I could see her wheels turning as she's trying to piece
together whether or not this was anything
out of the ordinary.
What stress exactly caused her to do this?
Because, um, as far as we can tell,
uh, she‐she's been fine.
Well, I can tell you, from all of the animal mutilation work
that I've done in the last four decades, in some cases,
it is very clear, by tracks on the ground, that an animal
that is found mutilated ran for a very long distance.
We have seen it in horses, we've seen it in cattle,
we have seen it in other animals.
And that suggests that the animals themselves are aware
they're in trouble and that they run.
And it could be that that is the stress
that would accelerate death.
THOMAS: Linda, I think if we're done right here,
I'm gonna move us away from the animal.
‐We got so many insects and‐and the smell. ‐Right.
Let's go over here in the shade. I want to visit with you more.
This is a place where strange things happen.
And in this case, it's very clear:
this is not an animal mutilation in any way.
But it's a very large, two‐year‐old,
otherwise healthy‐looking cow.
What happened to this two‐year‐old?
If that animal had been mutilated in the classic way
that literally thousands of large and small animals
have been mutilated, we're talking about going back
into not just the 1960s.
There are reports in Australia
going back to the beginning of the 20th century.
‐Wow. ‐So this is almost a‐at least a century‐and‐a‐half phenomenon.
And it has been global.
‐Wow. ‐Now, what are we dealing with?
There's no question
that animals have been stressed where they've been mutilated.
It's a link in the whole history of a century
and a half of animal mutilations around the world.
The problem is proving...
‐Right, that's always the problem for me. ‐...which stress did what
to which animal, and that is the challenge.
We're dealing with something
that doesn't want us to understand.
And you haven't had any animal mutilations here
for two or three years, right?
‐SEGALA: More than that. ‐More than that?
‐Maybe ten years. ‐Well, you may s‐‐ be starting a new cycle.
Was the cow reacting
to some entity that has entered the ranch?
ERIK: Surveillance cameras captured
the ordeal that this animal went through.
The cow is here. I can't help but also notice
that there's something happening here.
SEGALA: We're trying to make a decision, whether this
was a natural occurrence or this is an occurrence brought on
by some unknown entity that's working on this ranch,
that we can't identify.
So, when you do find these animals,
what other things do you measure in the environment?
Well, the‐the one thing I've used are TriField meters.
And every once in a while you might get a spike in, uh,
let's say the electromagnetic spectrum.
We had that yesterday. Absolutely...
‐Right here? ‐Tom and Kandus saw this,
we all ran out, we brought our equipment with us.
And the minute we got here, this thing was go‐‐
our TriField meters, and we had several of them‐‐ going crazy.
And then I took out my spectrum analyzer, and at that point
I was reading things that you can't possibly understand.
But everything you're describing
is electromagnetic frequency intrusion
by something that is causing anomalies.
From everything I know,
talking with government and military people,
whether it's CIA, DIA, NSA or military, and they have dealt
with animal mutilations themselves.
And they know that electromagnetic anomalies
are one of the things that you need to measure. But...
‐That's interesting. Okay. ‐Yeah, but all of these animals
die largely in rural areas
where nobody has anything that's monitoring it.
And so, you all may have the first consistent data
where you are truly trying to keep track of what is happening
to specific animals here at the Skinwalker Ranch.
Yeah.
THOMAS: While we got you on the property,
we definitely want to get you over and show you
the exotic animals we brought on here, the alpacas.
‐Yeah. ‐And maybe we can, uh, get your take on that?
‐Okay. ‐Tom, let's put the gate up.
Yeah, we need to get this gated back in real quick.
It's obvious that
we're gathering a lot of data, but so far
the data has led to a lot of questions.
Any time we have someone like Linda who has been on‐site
of many, many, many investigations,
it carries a lot of weight with me.
And so, after showing her the cow,
we just wanted to show her the alpacas that got attacked.
(car doors open, close)
‐Well... ‐So, here's our exotic animals.
TOM: Before we put 'em in here,
they were kept in the corral, right up by the ranch house.
And the‐the morning after they w‐were brought in,
um, they were attacked by something.
DUNCAN: It looks bad.
KANDUS: I'm just glad he's alive.
I didn't know what we were gonna find.
Yeah.
It's hard to say exactly what bit them.
It was wretched.
Let me bring this up.
(alpacas screeching)
BRYANT: You can almost see something grabbing onto it.
Right about...
‐TOM: Yeah. Right there. That's... ‐KANDUS: Oh. Oh...
‐BRYANT: When the first bite happened? ‐Yeah.
BRYANT: I'm really glad that whatever it was,
it didn't turn on you guys.
KANDUS: So, the next step was
getting them out of the corral
and bringing them here, where they're more secure.
LINDA: Do you think about the possibility
that if you bring a different animal here,
that something might be provoked by it?
TOM: It was more about, maybe,
seeing how they react to this place.
See if they sense anything differently
than the cows or William or us.
THOMAS: Maybe things that we can't hear and see, you know,
these animals seem to have a sixth sense and know...
‐Well, they can hear infrasound, and we can't hear... ‐Yes.
And now, do you have cameras that, if something
did attack them in here, that you would get it on video?
‐TOM: Yes. ‐Yeah, so,
we have everything very closely monitored
in this part of the property.
LINDA: Has anything
been caught on any infrared video?
When you say "anything," what do you mean?
Well, meaning something that would fall into the category
of a beam, an orb, possibly a silhouette.
‐We've seen beams. ‐We have seen beams
on the infrared camera that do not appear to the naked eye.
It came over that rise.
A few weeks ago,
we actually saw an aberration
where there were‐‐ appeared to be beams of light...
‐Oh, did you see that? ‐...emanating from someplace
to the west of the mesa,
coming straight across the ranch
and going up into the sky.
THOMAS: That's a definite beam.
It is clearly a beam going across there.
LINDA: And when you put them in here,
did you have a feeling that in the one hand
you might be separating them from what attacked up there,
but on the other, you might be making them vulnerable?
KANDUS: Um, no, I feel
getting them in here was a relief.
'Cause I feel like, with this top barbed wire, and then
the fencing is subsurface,
nothing can get in here as long as it's secure.
But things could be coming from the sky.
THOMAS: That's been our question.
Is it coming from below? Is it coming from the sky?
Especially with a lot of the tales
that have been coming from this ranch.
If it's coming from the sky, there's probably
not a safe place anywhere.
ERIK: So, I have the footage
that I'd like to show you ready.
And we're gonna watch this, this cow.
TRAVIS: After Linda and the rest of the team
finished checking out the remains of the dead cow,
they joined Brandon, Dragon and I in the command center,
where Erik was eager to share with us something amazing
he noticed in the surveillance footage.
The surveillance cameras captured the ordeal
that this animal went through over a period of several hours.
We're looking, uh, towards the right extreme.
I'm going to zoom in on it.
That's the tree that we found the cow by.
‐Right. Right out here. ‐Yeah.
THOMAS: Is that black object the cow?
ERIK: The‐‐ Yep, that's it, Tom.
The cow is right here.
What we'll do is go forward
very slowly and watch what happens with her.
TRAVIS: Watch how she moves. It's interesting.
‐ERIK: Now, you see the cow starts to get up. ‐LINDA: Yeah.
I'm gonna do this, uh, very slowly, frame by frame
so we can watch what's happening with her.
So, here I can't help but also notice
that there's something happening here.
TRAVIS: Yo, whoa, look at that.
BRYANT: Yeah, there it was, right there.
‐TRAVIS: Look at that. ‐LINDA: It looks like an object
above the tree.
‐What? ‐TRAVIS: And it happens right when
the cow moves‐‐ raises up.
Now go back and show 'em where you first see it, Erik.
ERIK: Okay, so this is where something else does enter the frame.
The next frame,
‐the object is here. ‐LINDA: Wow.
ERIK: The cow is trying to get up on her feet.
The cow reacted.
‐Right. ‐The moment
that that object appeared
above the cow, the cow was reacting.
Yes.
Something is clearly happening here on the ranch.
We've seen all sorts of weird signals,
we've been exposed to radiation.
I've seen toxic gases.
And now we have this cow dying, and there's a strange object
flying at really fast speeds above it.
This could be the start of, actually,
an eye‐opening experience and experiment.
We might find something here
that's a lot deeper than we think.
SEGALA: At first, when I saw this object,
my rational mind tried to make sense of it.
Tried to make it look like an airplane
or a bird or a bug or something.
But the more I looked at it, the more I thought about it,
it was not any of those things.
THOMAS: What was this craft doing out there,
and why, at the very time this cow was dying,
was this craft seen in the sk?
I think it's very intriguing, as to why
these two, uh, events are taking place at the same time.
ERIK: While this is not a mutilation
in the sense that we did not find
the animal cut up and emptied of its blood
or anything of that sort,
this is perhaps one of the most well‐documented events
of such a suspicious and sudden cattle death on a ranch
where activity of this nature is known to have taken place.
To this day, not a single scavenger
‐has touched that cow. ‐Wow.
TRAVIS: It looks just like the Tic Tac video.
That's some type of propulsion that we can't understand.
Does that constitute contact?
They approached us.
Those rays reflect from the ranch property.
We've got indisputable evidence that's world‐changing.
‐Agreed. ‐THOMAS: Somebody's watching us.
TRAVIS: I've been contacted by some folks
in the intelligence community.
‐So, we're being monitored? ‐TRAVIS: Absolutely.
