- Check this out.
- More metal?

It's almost as if it all
came off the same object.

We definitely want
to analyze that.

- What the hell was that?
- What the hell was that?

There was a serious rumble.

I mean, you could
feel it in your feet.

Whoa! What was that?

I saw something flash in the sky
to the west over homestead two.

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...

Hey, erik. You in here?

Yeah, I'm back here.

So, I was out there
by the drill site.

- Uh-huh.
- I was standing on the road

Like, right above the
hole, looking up at the guys,

And the ground shook.

It didn't last as long as
an earthquake, but it...

like that. And I
was like, "wow."

And I even asked
the guys if they

Felt it over the walkie,
and right as I held

The walkie up to call
them, I saw something.

- Just boom real quick across the sky.
- No way.

And it was spherical,
translucent white color.

-And I mean it was fast, too. Schoomp, like that.
-Okay.

Things might really
be coming to a head

With our investigation
here on skinwalker ranch.

It keeps pushing me down.

Two weeks ago, we
drilled deep into the mesa...

I wonder if it's, like,
metal flakes or something.

And discovered what seems to be

A huge, dome-shaped metal object

Buried beneath it
that we believe could

Measure up to 400 feet wide.

Yeah, I'm up against
something pretty hard right now.

Now, while thomas, dragon
and I were right in that area,

We felt the ground
suddenly shake,

And I thought I saw a uap.

Over the last three
years we've been able to

Record multiple uap sightings.

I'm hoping that erik
caught the one I just

Saw on his surveillance cameras.

Maybe it will give us

A better idea of where
these things are coming from.

Did you happen to have
any cameras looking in

The westerly direction?
I was looking due west.

Yeah, we have some bullet
cams that are always looking out

- That way.
- Well, can you pull those up?

I'm gonna say it was at,
uh, 13:45, because I checked

My phone, like, immediately
when it happened.

Best one would probably be this.

- Yeah, this view.
- That's exactly where...

So I would have been down here,

Probably looking
that way, right?

Because the drill site is
right past that tree, I think.

All right. Well, I'm
at about 1:44 p.M.

Let's just see
if we can find it.

So, how big of a thing
are we talking about here?

Well, I mean, it was
like no bigger than

The spheres we've
seen in the sky before,

But it would've been
right in here somewhere.

- How fast was it moving?
- Dude, it was moving pretty fast.

That's what I'm worried
about. You may not catch it,

It was moving so fast.

Yeah, you see, there's a line
looked like it had been formed.

- Keep going.
- Okay, you want to do a frame advance?

- Yeah. Do frame by frame.
- Okay.

Ho! Right there! There it is.

- Okay.
- Look at that.

Okay. I got it.

- Is that only in one frame?
- That's a single frame. Yeah.

Go back one and go through it

To see how many
frames it actually lasts.

Okay, I'm gonna center on it.

What in the heck?

Look at that. I don't know
if it came out of the mesa

- Or from behind the mesa.
- Uh-huh.

I know that others have
reported that craft have been seen

Going into the mesa.

Perhaps we're
looking at something

Coming out of the mesa,

As has been
speculated by, by others.

I don't know.

There's a lot of information
that's put on these rocks.

Earlier this year, ranch
caretakers kandus linde

And tom lewis met with
retired navajo ranger,

John dover to
look at petroglyphs

Carved into rocks at
nearby mcconkie ranch.

This place is amazing.

They were created by local

Indigenous people centuries ago.

And john believes they
depict strange phenomena

That have occurred
throughout the uinta basin.

We've actually
had stories involving

Uaps that have

Entered into mesas.

And just gone
right into the rock.

I couldn't say if this
uap came from the mesa,

But the massive tremor
that dragon, thomas and I

All felt just before it
appeared made me wonder if

The local beliefs are
possibly founded in fact.

- How did you catch that?
- Your eye integrates.

So, you know, I saw
a streak go across.

But it looks just...
I mean, that looks

Just like what I thought I saw.

I said it was a
translucent white sphere.

I mean, look how
much more translucent

- White sphere can you get?
- You know, I gotta tell you,

If you hadn't seen this
with the naked eye, I would

Not have detected this
on review of this footage.

This is such a fleeting event.

But this, this does
look very solid.

- That's a great catch.
- I'm excited about it.

Keep your eye on the sky,
maybe you'll see something else.

After we informed brandon
about the massive tremor and uap

Incident at the mesa, we
asked him to immediately come

Out to the ranch to formulate
a plan for what to do next.

With all the uaps we've
documented this year,

Especially in the
triangle area...

- How you doing? Good.
- Good.

We wanted to present
him with our idea

For the biggest experiment yet.

With winter approaching,
this was our last

Opportunity to find
some real answers.

Thanks for coming
together, guys.

I'm anxious to hear
what you have in store.

Yeah, so we, as you're
aware, we've launched

A lot of rockets this year

Than in the years
past. Most of them with

Instrumentation
packages in them.

With payloads to measure,
whether it's gps or...

An rf or microwave signal,
gamma rays and so on.

And we've also in the past

Had laser beams out here that
we've used for various things.

We've scanned across the
sky with them in the mesa,

And we've seen
some really weird stuff.

Yeah, you sure have.

And so, we thought
we needed to really

Get a better handle on it

With a much larger rocket that
can go up through the triangle

And with a lot of instruments
on it, and at the same time have

Multiple, very large
lasers focused on the spot,

As well as a scanning laser
system focused on the spot

While we have all
of our instruments

And cameras and
everything looking at it.

I mean, everything we've
got and used in the past

We would use in
one big experiment.

It sounds like you are proposing

- Something on a grand scale.
- Yeah.

So, with our time about
to run out this year,

The plan is to use the biggest
rockets and lasers yet to

Conduct a new experiment
that will not only stimulate

Something unmistakable to
appear at the triangle, but also

Reveal what that anomaly at
that mile-high zone actually is.

So, we've been talking
with the guys at loc precision

And we're gonna have a separate
set of payload canisters that

Come out, and one payload
canister is going to deploy

Chalk dust at different
altitudes as the parachute

Sinks back through,
and it will create

A cloud all over
the triangle area.

So, if there is
some anomaly that's

Invisible to the eye,
maybe the chalk will coat it.

And, also, it will give
more particulate matter

For the laser beams
to reflect off of.

So, it should allow us to
map that area and see it

Better than we've
seen it ever before.

So, not just shining a beam
through the area, but rastering

A beam through that area
may give us a sense of the,

Of the shape and size of
whatever it is that's up there.

We are going into

Great detail, deliberate effort

To design multiple rocket
systems that we can launch.

That says nothing of
the instrument payload,

You know. We're
talking about putting on

Frequency generator,

Gamma ray detector,
of course, action cams.

This is probably the
largest scale, most complex

And most expensive experiment
that we've ever done out here.

Well, this is extraordinary.
These are big ideas.

There's a lot of things that
we, you know, wanted to

Make sure we got your
clearance for before we proceeded.

Well, if this leads us to
better understand the origin

And the agenda of
what we're dealing with,

Who or what we are interacting
with here at skinwalker ranch,

I think will, will
be well worth it.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, given the scale

Of this, this incredible
experiment that

You are coordinating, I
would love to be here...

- Great.
- To witness it myself.

We'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I-I really appreciate

The level of thought,

The effort and the organization
that you've really brought

To the table in order to
make this hopefully, you know,

Some of our best
experimental efforts yet.

Because anytime we
initiate an experiment

That is aggressive, that-that
is poking the hornet's nest,

If you will, above the
ranch, something happens.

Well, and if nothing unusual
happens, that's a data point.

If nothing unusual
happens, that will be unusual.

- I like that.
- That'll be a first.

Oh, somebody's here.

Yeah. It looks like
it's the loc boys.

And the nu-salt guys.

Two days after our
meeting with brandon,

The rocket guys from
loc precision and the team

From nu-salt laser
arrived to help us conduct

The biggest experiment ever
performed on skinwalker ranch.

Good to see you
again. How are you?

All of these guys had taken
part in previous experiments

Targeting both the
triangle and the mesa,

So we were eager to
poke the nest harder

Than ever before, and
get some definitive answers

About the weird phenomena
that keep happening out here.

We're combining two really
spectacular experiments

In one this time.

- Bigger and better on the rockets, and more lasers.
- Yeah.

And I expect we're
going to learn a lot from it.

We have measured some
phenomenology here that's, uh,

Actually affecting laser beams

As they propagate
through the sky.

We're actually seeing
lasers actually hit

A particular level and
then actually bend and turn,

And so that means there
is something significant,

You know, at this position.

And, we're gonna launch
rockets right through that,

We're gonna release some
powders that'll, you know,

Create a cloud that
falls through this area

To give us more visual
with the laser beams.

So, what we've got to do,

We've got a lot of
moving parts here today.

We've got a couple of
really big rockets with

Complicated payloads, while
we're setting up the lasers.

And we got to figure out,
make sure that we put the lasers

In such a way that they don't
damage the rocket during flight,

Or the parachutes on the return,
because, you know, space cannons

Will probably melt
the parachutes.

They are pretty hot.

So, I'd love to see
what you guys brought.

- I'm excited about this.
- Great.

- Let's do that.
- Cool. - Exciting.

So, we got three 200-watt
laser space cannons and one

Nsl-2000 model z 30-watt laser
light show projector to set up.

- Wow.
- Wow.

That's impressive.
Can you guys top that?

- A lot of firepower.
- I think we might be able to.

The gauntlet's been thrown down.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Holy smokes.

So, here's what we've
got for you this year.

How tall is that, put together?

- 15 feet.
- Wow.

Wait till it's put together.

This right here is the
most awesome right here.

Look at this, this is
one of the motors.

Holy smokes.

This is a rocket motor
right here. Look at this.

Look at that
thing. It's a missile.

So, we brought three rockets.

One 15-foot tall,
12-inch diameter rocket

That can carry more instruments.

So, it's easier to be
able to help the guys

This time design the payload
area around their instruments to

Get a better fit and hopefully
some better readings for them.

Well, I know when we talked
about it in planning, you know,

We-we said it was bigger,
but my gosh, standing in front

Of it, I'm thinking
yes, it's big.

Yes, it's beautiful, but what
I see is instrument capacity.

Yep.

We have an
opportunity to learn a lot

With this, with this platform.

- Yeah.
- What's the safety range with this one?

With the o-motor,
it's a thousand feet.

So, nobody can be
within a thousand-foot

- Radius of the launch pad.
- Sounds to me like helipad.

Yeah. We'll be observing
from the helipad.

- Yeah.
- I agree.

So, we need to start
getting everything together.

Get the payloads ready, and we

Need to get out there and
start figuring out the logistics.

Let's get to work,
guys, we got a lot to do.

I'm excited, but this is
going to be a lot of work.

This is going to be a big day.

- Stand the booster up here.
- Yep.

Got you, sir.

- Are we good?
- Yeah.

The anticipation and hopes
are so high for this experiment,

We'll be able to either
stimulate or see something

That could really lead us
in a direction to figuring out

What's actually going on here.

- It's go time.
- Yes, sir.

Ready, ready.

Tonight's going to be

One of the most complicated,

Biggest, most
extravagant experiments

That we've actually done
here at skinwalker ranch.

We've got three of these

Giant, multi-hundred-watt
laser space canons.

We've got the laser scanner.

We're going to be
broadcasting a sweep across this

1.6 gigahertz part of
the spectrum where we're

Getting these weird
signals here on the ranch.

We're going to
hopefully stimulate

The biggest response so far

And get a lot of data
as this rocket launches.

Perfect. Hey, travis. Yeah?

At what kind of angle
do you want on these?

Do you want them
going straight up?

I think straight up. If
we could focus maybe,

I mean, angle each one of
the three beams together,

So they're hitting somewhere
about 3,000 feet up in the sky.

- Pyramid format? Okay.
- Yeah, yeah.

Pyramid it up to
about 3,000 feet.

- Sounds good.
- Does that work for you guys?

- It does work.
- Okay.

The laser component
of our experiment

Has its own multi-tier system.

First, we'll set up
three high-powered

Laser cannons around the
triangle, and each laser beam

Will be aimed upward,
converging at the mile-high zone

Where we've detected
all kinds of radiation spikes

And obtained evidence of
an invisible anomaly that has

Deflected other lasers,
and gps devices in the past.

So, there we are.

The signal generator
is up and running.

All right. We are golden.

We're also going to

Broadcast that 1.6 gigahertz

Communication
signal that we recently

Detected on the ranch.

Just a couple of weeks ago,

We broadcasted the signal
at a local radio station...

- There it is.
- Wow.

And stimulated

Multiple uaps to
appear in the sky.

- Look. Look, they're moving.
- Yep.

So, here's our
transmitter right here.

This is where we'll get the
source of the audio signal

That the guys choose
to run through it.

So tonight, we're going

To broadcast that 1.6
gigahertz signal up through

One of the lasers
directly into the anomalous

Spot above the triangle.

Hopefully, it will
stimulate more uaps,

Or something else,
that might explain

What is really going on
in that mile-high zone.

And in addition
to the lasers here,

We'll deploy another
laser back on the helipad

That will be scanning
up and down and through

That region in the
sky above the triangle.

We'll monitor for any
bends in the laser's pattern.

If we see any deviations,

It could be evidence of
anomalies for us to focus on.

- Should we put the booster on?
- Yeah.

Once we get our laser
convergence system set up

At the triangle, the team
from loc precision has

Brought out the granddaddy of
rockets that we are going to use

To make contact with that
anomaly in the mile-high zone.

All right, let's
bring her on in.

Down in front a
little. Thank you.

All right. There
we are. We're in.

All right. She's in. She's home.

This 15-foot-tall rocket will
be equipped with every kind

Of energy, radiation, and
gamma ray detector we have,

Plus three payloads of
environmentally safe chalk dust.

Y'all hold the front end,
it's wanting to move.

- All right, ready?
- Yup

This is not only an
impressive piece of

Equipment, it's very dangerous.

This thing looks like a
missile ready to go off.

You're home.

After it's launched

Up over 5,000 feet, a
parachute will deploy,

Bringing it straight back down

Through the anomalous zone.

The first batch of chalk dust
will be released at 5,000 feet.

Then another at 4,000
feet, and a third at 3,000 feet.

It'll be like throwing
flour on the invisible man.

Erik, are your gps units
in the bottles turned on?

- They are.
- Okay. Thank you.

And once we've hopefully
identified where this

Dang anomaly is, we're
going to launch another

Rocket up there equipped
with more radiation

And gamma ray detectors

To collect all the data we can,

And maybe stimulate

The most awesome
ranch response yet.

- Hold down there, dave.
- I got it.

- Go. Hard push, y'all. Hold it.
- Yep. Got it.

- All right, she's set.
- All right. Whew.

All right, erik, we gotta
get this payload going.

Let's get it going.

- We are running out of daylight.
- All right, go.

These are all level-three
rockets, and these things are

Gonna hit about 400
to 500 miles an hour,

So we're using an
ammonium perchlorate fuel,

Which just by its
very nature is very hot.

- Put on a z-clip, we're great.
- Perfect.

And it requires safer
distances, there's more power,

You need a bigger areas
around, larger areas to land.

So, everything is
connected, we can now

Pack it up and get
to the safe zone?

I need to break
down as fast as I can

And get back to
the command center.

Go ahead and do that.
Tell me when it's safe to

Shut that generator off.

Okay. Will do.

So, we'll just set it up on top.

Yup. I've got it.

After our setup was
complete, all we needed was

For brandon to arrive
and the sun to go down.

And then it's gonna be
time to make some history

On skinwalker ranch.

Okay, hey, it is time
for all non-essentials

To start evacuating the area.

Okay, we will see you guys
back at the command center.

We're about to
begin an experiment

On a larger scale than
anything we've attempted before.

This is the most
complex and expensive

And dangerous experiment

That we have ever
attempted on this ranch.

After we got set up
at the triangle area,

We moved back to the base
of operations at the helipad,

Where we could monitor
everything from a safe distance.

We've also got 17
sets of eyes here.

Because of the size
of this experiment,

We have called the entire
skinwalker team out to help us,

Including brandon, jim morse,

Tom and kandus, and also,

Casey smith from
qual-tec associates,

Who's here to look out

For any dangerous
radiation spikes

That might show up tonight.

So, we want all 17 sets of eyes

Not only on what's happening
out there at the triangle,

But also on the sky.

There shouldn't be
any aircraft in this space,

Because we've had it cleared.

This is a restricted airspace.

If anyone sees anything in
the sky when that rocket goes up

Or when that payload's coming
down, I want to know about it.

Right. As soon as
erik and I have finished

Turning on all the
instruments in the payload,

We hand it to the
loc guys, right?

Then, everybody has to be back

1,000 feet from the rocket.

Casey and kaleb, you guys
should be down by homestead two

Or the drilling site...
Keep an eye on the skies.

Kandus, tom, if you
don't mind, I'd like

You to take the
east spotter position

Up on the mesa,
because there's going to be

Things coming out of
the rocket, falling out.

Try to watch and see if
you can see where they land.

Casey has brought
some instruments so that

We have gamma ray
detection capability.

So, travis, I got one for you.

- All right.
- Erik.

Any little spike is
going to trigger those.

I think between the
bunch of us we're gonna be

Mixed in with
everybody, so if it

- Starts dinging, you'll know.
- Yeah.

Given the significance of
these experiments today,

And the recent acute
medical episodes with tom,

I thought it was important
to bring dr. Lee back.

So, I appreciate
dr. Lee coming in.

It is great to be here. I
appreciate the focus on safety.

I know how much you have been
focusing and preparing to make

Sure that everything
is done very safe.

Something is going on,

Which, of course,
should raise all of our

Awareness and the
seriousness of this exercise.

You know, that's
a really good point.

Let's keep an eye on each other.
Hear something, feel something,

Smell something, taste
something, whatever that's

Unusual, say
something immediately.

Hopefully we'll be able to make
sense of any unusual events

That take place during
the course of this.

- Let's get moving.
- All right.

- Appreciate everybody's help.
- Thank you, guys.

All right, this is the spot.

Kaleb and casey are in position.

We're good to go. Over.

Copy that.

So, they're shooting
from the triangle, right?

Yeah.

I mean, we could
just go right up here.

Tonight is really sort
of the culmination of

Everything we've done
for the past three years.

We started out with some
small rockets in the first year.

And then last year, we launched
some slightly bigger rockets.

This year, we're doing
a much bigger rocket.

Kandus. Tom. Do you guys copy?

Kandus and tom are
in position on the mesa.

Everything looks good from here.

Roger that.

All right, guys, we're all set.

Let's wait until dark
and get this thing started.

- All right, guys.
- Let's go ahead and turn

The instruments on
and do our first launch.

Bam. There they are!

Check it out. Now see,
that is straight above us.

Looking at this laser
cannon shooting up

In the sky for as
far as I can see,

I can only imagine what
the neighbors and the people

In the surrounding
areas must think.

I mean, you can see
this laser from miles away.

Is that not crazy?

We've used lasers each
summer, and each summer we've

Gotten bigger or more,
or spread them out more.

And what we've seen, each
time we do an experiment

Like this is uap in the sky.

Or at least some sort of unknown

Atmospheric or aerial phenomena.

So, who knows what's
gonna happen to us tonight?

So, we're taking that
file that you guys gave us,

Travis, and running it

- Through this phone here.
- Uh-huh.

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, there it is.

- I recognize that sound.
- Yeah.

So, we're gonna take this
sound and we're gonna actually

Put it through this transmitter
that has a driver built into it,

And it's going to take
that signal, and it's going to

Modulate the laser beam so
it's actually travelling into space.

All right. Let's do it.

We recorded this weird
sound here on the ranch.

This 1.6 gigahertz
frequency, or wavelength.

- Oh, yeah. I heard it.
- That's crazy.

Yeah, so it's modulating
the laser amplitude.

We thought maybe it was
a communication signal,

But we don't know
what it means or where

It's coming from,
and what's creating it.

So, we thought we
would play it back through

The laser tonight to see if
we get any kind of response.

All right so, have you
got everything else set up?

- We do.
- All right, I say let's clear the launch area because

- We're about to launch this rocket.
- Sounds good.

Thank y'all very much.

- Good job.
- Amazing.

We've got the lasers
on and lined up,

And the rockets ready to go.

We're gonna be in launch mode

In probably about five minutes.

I gotta tell you, travis,

The alignment looks
perfect from here.

The lasers were beaming
up perfectly through

The mile-high zone above
the triangle just as planned.

- That's amazing.
- Wow.

And with the 1.6 gigahertz

Communication signal being
broadcast up into that zone,

Everybody was braced
for anything strange

That might happen.

It was finally time to

Launch our massive rocket.

All right, gentlemen.

Go ahead. Tell everybody
we're launching in 30 seconds.

Okay, teams in the field.

Tom, kandus, kaleb,
casey, we are about

30 seconds from launch.

- Be prepared and ready.
- Kaleb copy, over.

10-4. Thank you. Over.

- We're ready to go.
- Great.

- All right, in five.
- Five? All right.

All right, you ready?

In five, four,

Three, two,

One.

Three. Two. One.

Push and hold.

Uh-oh. That motor blew.

It exploded. Oh, no. Oh...

Hot greens. Hot greens.
Let's go, there could be a fire.

- Yep.
- Oh, my god.

What the hell just happened?

- Jump in.
- Nobody get run over.

Son of a bitch.

Hang on, bryant!

Damn it. That sucks.

We were all set to
shoot our gigantic,

Main rocket up into
the mile-high zone

Above the triangle to
identify where this anomaly is,

But it just blew up in a
fireball above the launch pad.

I don't see a fire.

Right.

It blew out all the payload.

- What the?
- Here's another piece right here.

- You found it all?
- That's an instrument, yeah.

Damn it, that sucks.

This is definitely
a huge failure.

Seems like every single
time we've tried to monitor that

5,000-foot mark above the
ranch, something goes wrong.

Thomas, did you say that there
was a gps piece that you found?

We've lost a bunch of equipment.

We didn't get
really anything out of

The number of hours
that have gone into this.

It's like the ranch was
putting its foot down

And telling us, "no."

Is all the pyro out, though?

Everybody, there could
still be powder somewhere,

- So everybody...
- You haven't found them all yet?

- That blew.
- Yep. It blew.

The powder blew. It blew
the payload compartment.

Yep. It blew. Okay, we're safe.

All right. Hey,
guys, we're safe.

When we launched
the 15-foot rocket,

It had a forward seal failure
where the motor just couldn't

Contain its pressure,
and the forward seal blew

Straight up, which it's
supposed to do upon a failure

And that basically trashed
every instrument in the rocket.

Radio check. Anybody hearing me?

Erik, I hear you. Go ahead.

Can somebody tell me
what the hell is going on?

I don't know where we are.

Sorry, erik. We had a
catastrophic rocket failure.

We're out here doing
disaster analysis right now.

Never left the pad.
All the charges went off

- And it blew it up on the pad.
- -Copy that.

Oh, boy.

The outcome is a shock
and a disappointment.

It's not what we
expected, given all

The sophistication and
the design of that rocket.

Fortunately, we have
other rockets that

We can launch into the
area above the triangle

In an effort to continue
the experiment.

-All right, so look. We still got two rockets.
-Yeah.

So, uh, we can do the
final experiment that

We planned on and use
the other rocket as a backup

In case something
happens to that rocket.

- Hundred percent.
- We're not gonna let it beat us.

Let's clean up. Let's
prep the next rocket.

Let's get the lasers ready,

And let's just do
what we've got to do.

- Let's do what we do.
- That's exactly right.

Hey, look, we still
got the second rocket

From loc precision
already prepared

With all of our sensors,

We still got the nu-salt guys

Here with the lasers.

We're gonna launch
another rocket and see

What we can get out of that.

All right, here we go.

- Close, close, close.
- All right.

- That's in.
- That's in.

So, how close are we?

We just got to
put the igniter in

And get everybody back
and we're good to go.

So, we're ready to
clear the launch area?

- A hundred percent.
- Okay.

The rocket is loaded
on the launch pad.

We're just getting
ready to clear out.

10-4. We just got done
checking all the meters

Out here, everything is 10-4.

Copy that. Thank you.

- All right, let's do it.
- Yep.

All right, we need to clear
the launch pad, everybody.

We're to that point.

- We've got about four minutes.
- We're ready to go.

Do we need to radio casey

And kaleb, let them
know our countdown?

- Yep. Yes, we do.
- -Casey and kaleb?

Do you guys have all

- The instruments in place? Over.
- Tom, kaleb.

Yeah. 10-4.

Everything's in place
and good on our end.

Hey, erik.

Yeah, go ahead, travis.

So, I'm wondering about
air traffic, are we clear?

We are clear.

Although our second rocket

Was smaller at nine feet tall,

It had plenty of power to
shoot up through the anomaly,

So we packed a payload
of chalk dust in that one, too,

Along with our gps
and radiation sensors.

We are one minute from
launching, guys, if you got

The laser about ready.

This was our last
chance to get some

Answers with rockets
at the triangle this year,

So we were all hoping it
would launch as planned,

And make a direct hit
through that mysterious zone.

30 seconds and counting
on your timer, travis.

We got 30 seconds till launch.

Yeah, I like that
elevation better.

Is that pointing through
the middle of the beam?

- Yeah. Right there.
- Ten seconds and counting.

- How much?
- Ten.

All right, here we go. Do it.

Here we go. Yes.

Five, four, three,

Two, one.

There it goes!

That's fantastic.

What was that bend all about?

It caught dramatically
to the north,

So it couldn't go up
through the beam.

What in the crap?

So, there better be some
upper-level winds that

Would explain
that out of the north.

What winds?

It launches straight
up and it gets to about

2,000, maybe 3,000 feet,

And it does something
really unusual.

It turned almost due north
and flew away from the triangle

Area and away from the anomaly
that we know starts somewhere

Around 2,500 to 3,000 feet

Above ground level and up
to about 5,000 to 6,000 feet.

It's like it got to that point

And turned away from
it somehow or other.

Did you all see the smoke
trail? There was no wind

In the contrail at all.

There's no wind,
yet it gets deflected

- Dramatically off to the north.
- There's no wind.

What in the crap?

Something deflected the rocket.

I mean, what else could do it?

And if it was gonna
blow up or break,

It would've not kept
going straight like it did.

It would have
started doing curlicues

And everything else
on a structural failure.

We had a perfect launch
with our nine-foot-tall rocket,

And it was headed straight
for the anomalous zone

Above the triangle,
armed with chalk dust

And all kinds of radiation
scanning devices,

But something appeared to just

Knock it off course in midair.

There it is. So,
we got it right here.

We have eyes on the rocket.

It's coming down above the mesa.

If they think it's coming
down above the mesa,

It's coming down in roosevelt.

That's miles out there, guys.

How far north does that
look like that is to y'all?

A couple miles.

It's way north of where
we're at right now.

Yeah, that's what I think, too.

The rocket had so
much propulsion power

That it landed miles away.

We were really anxious to
find it and recover the scanning

And gps devices inside to
see if we got data at the moment

Of impact with whatever it
was that sent it off course.

I swear it looked like
something hit it and it shot north.

Because it was going
straight up and then just, boom!

Hmm.

You can see some
of the smoke floating

Through the beam there,
too. Beam me up, scotty.

Yeah. So, typically
when the rocket launches,

Rockets always,

If they're not a guided rocket,
meaning you're not steering it

Somehow, if it's just what
we call a dumb rocket,

When it goes up, it
will turn into the wind.

Always. Always.
Physics makes it do that.

And so, the way
that rocket went up

And turned, it
suggests there's winds

Aloft somewhere at
where it made the turn.

But there's smoke setting right
there where it made the turn.

So, there's no wind!

It wasn't just a slight bend.

That thing went up
and threw its signal on

And went straight north.

So, it doesn't appear
that there is any immediate

Conventional explanation
from what we just observed.

- Zero.
- Yeah, it makes no sense to me.

You know, it kind of reminds me

Of that experiment where we

Dropped these bottles
out of a helicopter

Using gps coordinates,
and when they dropped those

Bottles, we found some of
them a mile and a quarter away.

Yeah, and some of the
data showed that it looked like

A bottle fell down and turned
and went away from that spot.

Really? Okay. Wow.

- All right, dropping now.
- Dropping now.

About two months ago,
dragon and I flew up above

The mile-high zone
at the triangle to drop

Bottles containing gps
devices down though it

To see if we could identify
the anomaly's exact location.

- Look what happens here.
- Holy cow. Look at that.

But when we recovered
the bottles on the ground

And processed the data,

It showed that two of them

Actually bounced off something

Just like what
happened with our rocket.

Wow.

Did we just encounter

The same anomaly up there?

If so, what the
heck is this thing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, travis, you copy?

Yeah, erik, go ahead.

If brandon is nearby,

Can you bring him in real quick?

We'll be right there.

What's going on, erik?

Travis, you gotta see this.

- Okay.
- There's the lasers.

Yeah, I'm doing
an instant playback.

- Oh! Yeah.
- Do you see this?

Wow.

- What the crap is that?
- It's moving.

It's moving way too
fast for it to be a satellite.

And this just appeared
next to the lasers?

Yeah, it looks like it's
headed towards the apex.

That's crazy.

- When did this appear?
- This was just now.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Okay. I want to play it back.

Just after our rocket
got deflected away from

The mile-high zone
above the triangle,

Erik captured one of
the most vivid uaps we've

Seen during our experiments.

And it was
maneuvering right above

The apex of our laser
beams where we were also

Broadcasting our 1.6
gigahertz communication signal.

So, all I could wonder was
did we cause that to appear,

And is that what
deflected our rocket?

Is there any way it
could be air traffic?

I mean, we still
have a no-fly zone.

No. It's moving so fast.

- Yeah, there's no strobe.
- Look right here.

- This thing is really clipping along.
- Oh, my gosh.

It disappeared. Can
you replay that, please?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on.
- What did it disappear into?

It's not cloudy.

- And gone.
- Look at that. Look at that.

That's insane.

Where did it disappear into?

Oh, my gosh.

That's insane.

Erik caught a uap on
surveillance cameras

That appeared directly
above the apex of

Our laser formation
over the triangle.

But then it just
vanished into thin air

Right where we keep
detecting massive energy spikes.

This is, like, just
like minutes ago.

How did we not see that out
there? How did we miss that?

I don't know, but thank goodness

The surveillance
cameras picked it up.

Look at that. Look at that.

We'll go back and replay this.

This is the point at
which I just caught

A glimpse of this
thing. It emerged from,

- I don't know if it was...
- That's down below the mesa.

I don't know if I'm seeing
what I think I'm seeing or not.

Is it a portal? Are we
seeing portals open?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Oh, wait. Back it up.
All right. Back it up.

It does look like
it's going right

To where the
lasers are pointing.

Okay. You want me
to zoom in? Yeah.

Looks like there's some kind
of structure in the middle of it.

It has edges.

- Do you see that?
- Yeah.

But the edges seem to move.

Check it out.

It looks sort of amorphous.

Yeah, it does appear
to be changing shape.

Unbelievable.

Now, I don't know,
but it looks like

The uap we saw tonight

Might have come from behind

Or actually from
inside the mesa.

And then it just disappeared

Into the anomaly
above the triangle.

That's crazy.

Is that what messed
with our rockets?

Did we cause it to
appear by broadcasting

The 1.6 gigahertz signal?

And then, where did it go?

Skinwalker ranch has been
a haven for rumors about

Uaps actually entering
and exiting from the mesa,

Portals and all kinds of
other bizarre phenomena

For decades, if not centuries.

Tonight, we may
have finally captured

Evidence that some
of that could be true.

All right, make sure
to save this right away.

What the heck is that?

That's insane.

Many past investigators,
from robert bigelow's team

As well as members from
the indigenous community,

Have all stated that
they believe portals

To other dimensions
exist on skinwalker ranch.

Now, I'm not ready
to make that my belief,

But I think it's a valid
enough hypothesis

That we need to focus
our investigation on.

I don't think it's an
exaggeration to say

That some of what we've
seen during this exercise

Ranks among the strangest
events that we've witnessed.

Are we dealing with something

That is technological
and even volitional?

We all want to know
the answer to this.

Oh, my gosh.

We were shocked
to see, right there next

To the lasers, pointing to
an apex above the triangle,

A ufo, literally
monitoring our efforts.

Is it a coincidence
that this sighting

Followed the catastrophic events
of the exploding rocket before?

I don't think so.

How do we better understand

What kind of forces
we are dealing with?

Are they trying to
thwart our investigation?

Are they trying
to harm our team?

Are we truly dealing
with what many refer to

As a precognitive,
sentient intelligence?

Or is there something more
at work at skinwalker ranch?

- Spinning up.
- Pete kelsey - has brought on

-Some of the most - Advanced technology.
-That's amazing.

I found a signal

That was an intelligent
communication.

We want people
at other facilities

To check out the signal, too.

I think it'd be a good idea to
get everyone's eyes on this.

- Absolutely.
- Let's do.

This is a
three-dimensional model of

The entire mesa, and look at
what's sticking up in the sky.

- Wow!
- Never seen it before.

I've never seen
anything like it before.

How do we move forward?
