Hold on. -THOMAS: Look, look, look! 23 00:01:13,734 --> 00:01:15,266 -ERIK: What is that? -TRAVIS: It's gone. 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,367 SEGALA: Look at the cows. 25 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,300 That is the strangest thing. 26 00:01:18,433 --> 00:01:20,400 THOMAS: There is something going on out here. 27 00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:21,734 TRAVIS: There's no sign of struggle. 28 00:01:21,867 --> 00:01:23,066 It's just dead. 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,767 The cow is right here. 30 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,233 I can't help but also notice there's something here. 31 00:01:31,066 --> 00:01:33,800 TRAVIS: Now I've been invited back. 32 00:01:33,934 --> 00:01:36,567 And this time, I've got a better idea of what we're dealing with. 33 00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:39,367 And this year, we're going to start 34 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,300 finding the answers to why this 512-acre 35 00:01:42,433 --> 00:01:44,467 stretch of land is one of the strangest places 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,800 on the planet Earth. 37 00:01:46,934 --> 00:01:50,800 NARRATOR: There is a ranch in northern Utah. 38 00:01:50,934 --> 00:01:53,300 It is considered the epicenter 39 00:01:53,433 --> 00:01:58,066 of the strangest and most disturbing phenomena on Earth: 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,533 animal mutilations, 41 00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:02,700 bizarre UFO sightings, 42 00:02:02,834 --> 00:02:08,033 and unusual energies that have proven harmful to humans. 43 00:02:08,166 --> 00:02:11,166 For 20 years, the federal government tried 44 00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,967 to find answers and failed. 45 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:17,133 Now a new team of dedicated scientists, 46 00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:22,100 researchers and experts has taken over. 47 00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:26,100 They are determined to solve the mystery and reveal... 48 00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,934 ...The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. 49 00:02:43,567 --> 00:02:45,767 We're approaching the ranch. 50 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:47,667 All right. 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,367 My name is Brandon Fugal, 52 00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,633 and I'm the owner of Skinwalker Ranch. 53 00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:56,533 The ranch continues to surprise and astound, I think, all of us 54 00:02:56,667 --> 00:02:58,800 that are involved with this investigation. 55 00:02:58,934 --> 00:03:03,033 Dr. Lee, it's a privilege to have you come out to the ranch 56 00:03:03,166 --> 00:03:07,900 and engage with the team, uh, right here on-site. 57 00:03:08,033 --> 00:03:10,333 Yeah, this is an incredible experience for me 58 00:03:10,467 --> 00:03:12,667 to be able to visit the ranch and to 59 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,667 see some of things 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,500 that you've been involved with over the last few years. 61 00:03:16,633 --> 00:03:18,500 BRANDON: After the repeated injuries 62 00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:21,333 with Thomas Winterton, 63 00:03:21,467 --> 00:03:25,200 and then Dr. Taylor having radiation injuries 64 00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:27,233 that remain unexplained, 65 00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:29,867 I thought it was important that we bring in a professional 66 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,834 that is not only credentialed but someone that I trust. 67 00:03:32,967 --> 00:03:36,667 A good share of Dr. Lee's practice involves 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,667 clinical research into radiation oncology, 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,433 and I've come to trust him as not only a medical advisor 70 00:03:44,567 --> 00:03:47,200 but as someone that doesn't screw around. 71 00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:50,500 CAMERON: So, Dr. Lee, as we fly into the ranch here, 72 00:03:50,633 --> 00:03:52,166 just to the north of these observation towers 73 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,333 is Skinwalker Ridge. 74 00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:59,600 Many of the phenomena we've seen have come from Skinwalker Ridge, 75 00:03:59,734 --> 00:04:02,100 so I try to be extra careful as we fly over, 76 00:04:02,233 --> 00:04:04,900 uh, just to avoid any electromechanical issues 77 00:04:05,033 --> 00:04:08,233 that could arise from... from some of that phenomena. 78 00:04:08,367 --> 00:04:11,667 But I'll fly out here just... just south of it to be safe. 79 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,500 BRANDON: We know that we're dealing 80 00:04:13,633 --> 00:04:16,000 with potentially dangerous phenomenon. 81 00:04:16,133 --> 00:04:18,300 There are certain risks associated 82 00:04:18,433 --> 00:04:20,934 with activity on the ranch, but 83 00:04:21,066 --> 00:04:23,834 I think it's time to take the investigation to another level. 84 00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:27,367 I'm anxious to get some answers. 85 00:04:28,567 --> 00:04:30,433 CAMERON: Oh, here's the helipad. 86 00:04:30,567 --> 00:04:32,934 We're making our final approach in here. 87 00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:35,433 BRANDON: It's a thrill to have the whole team 88 00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:39,500 come back together in order to continue the investigation. 89 00:04:39,633 --> 00:04:44,100 This is a multidisciplinary team of professionals. 90 00:04:44,233 --> 00:04:47,667 People who bring to the table not only scientific 91 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,967 expertise but also advanced technology experience. 92 00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,100 -Everybody's waiting to see you. -Very good. 93 00:04:54,233 --> 00:04:56,433 -We're excited to have you back. -It's good to be back. 94 00:04:56,567 --> 00:04:58,567 Remarkable things happened this past year, 95 00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:02,066 and to build on that momentum, to further understand 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,300 the phenomena and what is really at play 97 00:05:05,433 --> 00:05:07,367 on this unique piece of property 98 00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:08,600 is really exciting. 99 00:05:10,367 --> 00:05:12,667 Well, it's, uh, good to see you back 100 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,066 at Skinwalker Ranch, Dr. Taylor. 101 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,233 -Thank you. -I'd like to introduce all of you 102 00:05:16,367 --> 00:05:18,133 to Dr. Chris Lee. 103 00:05:18,266 --> 00:05:21,567 He's a nationally-recognized radiation oncologist. 104 00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,367 Uh, having him as an outside medical consultant is 105 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:29,533 a vital part of establishing the health and safety protocols 106 00:05:29,667 --> 00:05:31,633 here at Skinwalker Ranch. 107 00:05:31,767 --> 00:05:33,500 I appreciate meeting all of you. 108 00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:37,333 So, I know I'm a visitor today, and, uh, this is my first time 109 00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:40,133 being here, but, uh, I believe that safety is 110 00:05:40,266 --> 00:05:44,667 of utmost importance, and I do think that it's critical to know 111 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,367 exactly what to do, when to do it, 112 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,533 how to do it and the proper methods, so... 113 00:05:48,667 --> 00:05:51,400 I've offered to Brandon I can lend my expertise 114 00:05:51,533 --> 00:05:53,900 with regard to safety or radiation exposures, 115 00:05:54,033 --> 00:05:56,633 or if there's questions regarding, um, 116 00:05:56,767 --> 00:05:58,800 some of the electromagnetic phenomenon 117 00:05:58,934 --> 00:06:00,300 that they've been experiencing. 118 00:06:00,433 --> 00:06:04,700 I also would like to have Dragon 119 00:06:04,834 --> 00:06:07,867 take on the added role and responsibility 120 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,967 of being the safety officer at the ranch, 121 00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,800 in order to not only ensure that everyone is kept 122 00:06:14,934 --> 00:06:18,133 healthy, but, uh, really kept safe. 123 00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:19,800 I'm-I'm happy to do it. 124 00:06:19,934 --> 00:06:23,300 And we have Kaleb to be able to watch over 125 00:06:23,433 --> 00:06:26,066 the more day-to-day security side of things. 126 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,433 So that, you know, we can focus on, you know, the investigation 127 00:06:28,567 --> 00:06:30,367 -and what we're doing as a team. -KALEB: Speaking of that, 128 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:33,133 I do have some other issues I got to go get taken care of, 129 00:06:33,266 --> 00:06:35,734 -so I'll leave you guys to it. -We'll let you get to work. 130 00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:38,734 -BRYANT: Thanks, Kaleb. -Thanks, Kaleb. 131 00:06:38,867 --> 00:06:41,266 So next, Travis, 132 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,633 as you come out and, uh, rejoin the effort, 133 00:06:44,767 --> 00:06:48,100 are you prepared for another stint here at Skinwalker Ranch? 134 00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:50,700 Well, uh, what we saw last time 135 00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,367 was some extremely unusual things 136 00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,867 that you can't explain with modern physics, 137 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,433 or at least we can't yet. 138 00:06:57,567 --> 00:07:00,300 And so, the opportunity to come back out here 139 00:07:00,433 --> 00:07:03,166 and see if we can see what it really is, is-is... 140 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,533 It's exciting, and I appreciate you inviting me back out. 141 00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:09,000 Well, it's been interesting in that during the off-season, 142 00:07:09,133 --> 00:07:11,133 we've had no shortage of incidents 143 00:07:11,266 --> 00:07:12,967 that have taken place. 144 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:16,533 In fact, we've continued to track and monitor events 145 00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:19,500 that have con-continued to occur here on the property. 146 00:07:19,633 --> 00:07:21,367 Well, and hopefully we can figure out something 147 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,633 that will stimulate these events to occur. 148 00:07:23,767 --> 00:07:27,767 If we can figure out the switch that makes it happen, 149 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:29,433 instead of it always being sort of we-we got lucky 150 00:07:29,567 --> 00:07:32,667 and caught it this time, then that would be huge. 151 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,500 BRANDON: That's exciting. 152 00:07:34,633 --> 00:07:37,967 What would you propose as far as experiments? 153 00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:40,533 Uh, I would actually like 154 00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:43,233 to look underneath the surface of the ranch. 155 00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:47,600 TRAVIS: So, last year, 156 00:07:47,734 --> 00:07:49,533 there was this fear of digging on the ranch. 157 00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:51,433 We should see what happens 158 00:07:51,567 --> 00:07:53,133 when we do something like digging a hole. 159 00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:56,300 BRYANT: I know for a fact 160 00:07:56,433 --> 00:07:59,133 crap goes down when people start disturbing the earth. 161 00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:03,567 I have to say unequivocally say no digging. 162 00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:06,533 TRAVIS: So, as a result, we didn't do much research 163 00:08:06,667 --> 00:08:09,333 into looking at what's underneath the property. 164 00:08:09,467 --> 00:08:11,533 There have been stories and legends 165 00:08:11,667 --> 00:08:14,266 of what might be underneath the ground here, like 166 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,367 ancient meteorites, alien spacecraft 167 00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,333 and even underground bases. 168 00:08:19,467 --> 00:08:22,734 Perhaps this secret base could be the source of 169 00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:26,000 all this weird transient energy that we've been experiencing. 170 00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:27,600 I think if we're gonna get to the bottom 171 00:08:27,734 --> 00:08:29,266 of what's going on here, 172 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400 we're gonna have to start looking underneath the ground, 173 00:08:32,533 --> 00:08:35,767 and maybe that means we're gonna have to start digging. 174 00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,166 BRYANT: Last time, we had Travis out 175 00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:40,100 and stuff like that, it was your mandate 176 00:08:40,233 --> 00:08:42,734 that there was not to be any invasive digging. 177 00:08:42,867 --> 00:08:44,400 And so, you know, 178 00:08:44,533 --> 00:08:47,734 I took that seriously, and in order to explore 179 00:08:47,867 --> 00:08:50,767 what Travis is talking about and, you know, 180 00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:53,166 the possibility of something larger, you know, 181 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,200 I will follow your lead. 182 00:08:55,333 --> 00:08:57,400 Yeah. 183 00:08:57,533 --> 00:09:01,266 Um, well, without digging, 184 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,400 we could try looking at photogrammetry, 185 00:09:03,533 --> 00:09:05,834 lidar, uh, scanning. 186 00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:09,734 THOMAS: Well, you know, as you guys have been talking about this, 187 00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:12,133 just to the west of Homestead Two 188 00:09:12,266 --> 00:09:17,233 is a fairly significant hole of size, 189 00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:19,567 big enough you could probably put a car in. 190 00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,133 But it's been 191 00:09:21,266 --> 00:09:23,400 filled up with trees and branches, 192 00:09:23,533 --> 00:09:24,934 and you can't see down into it. 193 00:09:25,066 --> 00:09:29,000 You can't tell how deep it is or-or how far down it goes. 194 00:09:29,133 --> 00:09:30,667 And so, you know, one of the days 195 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,934 I was irrigating, I thought, you know, just out of curiosity, 196 00:09:33,066 --> 00:09:34,500 I'm gonna divert some of the water 197 00:09:34,633 --> 00:09:37,266 down into that hole and see how long it takes to fill it up. 198 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,967 It took about three and a half hours 199 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:41,400 to fill this thing up to the top. 200 00:09:41,533 --> 00:09:43,066 Now, the interesting thing was, 201 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,633 is that after taking three hours to fill it up, 202 00:09:45,767 --> 00:09:48,467 the water disappeared out of sight within 15 minutes. 203 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,100 TRAVIS: Oh, wow. 204 00:09:50,233 --> 00:09:52,433 -(others murmuring) -That's unbelievable. 205 00:09:52,567 --> 00:09:54,667 THOMAS: I thought that water would be sitting there for weeks. 206 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,767 And so, you know, I think it would be interesting to 207 00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:02,166 take and fill that back up again and see if maybe we can trace 208 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,900 where that water is going. 209 00:10:04,033 --> 00:10:06,000 TRAVIS: That's a good idea. 210 00:10:06,133 --> 00:10:07,567 You know, the ground-penetrating radar 211 00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,900 did show some strange anomalies at depth there. 212 00:10:10,033 --> 00:10:13,100 Last year, we did ground-penetrating radar, 213 00:10:13,233 --> 00:10:14,500 and we found some weird anomalies 214 00:10:14,633 --> 00:10:16,333 right in the middle of the road 215 00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:18,900 right in front of Homestead Two and right in front of that pit. 216 00:10:19,033 --> 00:10:23,633 We found some dome features anywhere from eight to 25 feet. 217 00:10:23,767 --> 00:10:26,133 Almost looked as though there was the top 218 00:10:26,266 --> 00:10:28,233 of a tunnel and the base of a tunnel... 219 00:10:28,367 --> 00:10:29,500 Oh, a tunnel. 220 00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:32,834 Where there's smoke, there's fire. 221 00:10:32,967 --> 00:10:34,934 Yeah, I'm really liking this idea. 222 00:10:35,066 --> 00:10:37,133 I think we can get a lot of information out of it 223 00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:39,333 if we do this in the right order. 224 00:10:39,467 --> 00:10:43,066 And putting some water in there, we can follow that with some dye 225 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800 and perhaps trace the flow of that water 226 00:10:45,934 --> 00:10:47,967 and see if it emerges somewhere else on the property, 227 00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,000 perhaps even in the creek out there. 228 00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:52,600 -Oh, nice. -BRANDON: That's exciting. 229 00:10:52,734 --> 00:10:55,400 I'd like to get to the bottom of whether there really is 230 00:10:55,533 --> 00:10:57,233 a cave system beneath this ranch. 231 00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:59,166 We can address this right now, then. 232 00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:01,400 I mean, I think these are great ideas. 233 00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:03,300 And, you know, if it comes to the point 234 00:11:03,433 --> 00:11:06,834 where you are curious about, you know, seeing what's deeper, 235 00:11:06,967 --> 00:11:08,700 if we can't get satisfactory answers 236 00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,700 by

earth again. 239 00:11:17,367 --> 00:11:18,467 I'll look forward to your guidance. 240 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,000 Well, thank you all for coming together. 241 00:11:21,133 --> 00:11:23,834 Uh, Dr.
