4
00:00:12,467 --> 00:00:14,097
TOM:
We've come up
with this cow tracking system
5
00:00:14,233 --> 00:00:15,273
that we're going to use.
6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,600
Right over there
you could see something
7
00:00:17,734 --> 00:00:19,474
open up in the sky.
Something came out of it.
8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,770
ERIK:
It's really interesting
9
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,600
that Steven mentioned
the triangle.
10
00:00:22,734 --> 00:00:24,434
(Ariel chanting)
11
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:27,527
-TRAVIS: Look at the screen.
-GUY: It jumped to 47.
12
00:00:28,433 --> 00:00:30,603
THOMAS:
There's something
flickering right here.
13
00:00:30,734 --> 00:00:32,474
Back corner of the house!
Back corner of the house!
14
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,100
-TRAVIS: Guys, what's going on?
-THOMAS: It's moving.
15
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:35,303
Something may be hacking us.
16
00:00:35,433 --> 00:00:36,773
TRAVIS:
Oh, crap. Look at that!
17
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,970
We're actively being
electronically attacked.
18
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,230
I'm leaving the ranch.
I'm getting a bad headache.
19
00:00:42,467 --> 00:00:44,327
That was--
that was freaky weird.
20
00:00:44,467 --> 00:00:46,927
I was just suddenly
short of breath.
21
00:00:47,066 --> 00:00:48,666
That's not good either, Travis.
I don't like this.
22
00:00:50,367 --> 00:00:51,627
BRYANT:
Well, let's get you out of here.
23
00:00:51,767 --> 00:00:52,797
TRAVIS:
There's a static
24
00:00:52,934 --> 00:00:54,004
electricity feeling.
25
00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:56,503
This is an effect
of these microwave
26
00:00:56,633 --> 00:00:58,433
and radio wave signals
that are here.
27
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:02,997
NARRATOR:
There is a ranch
in Northern Utah.
28
00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:05,573
It is considered the epicenter
29
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:10,330
of the strangest and most
disturbing phenomena on Earth:
30
00:01:10,467 --> 00:01:12,697
animal mutilations,
31
00:01:12,834 --> 00:01:15,034
bizarre UFO sightings
32
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:20,226
and unusual energies that have
proven harmful to humans.
33
00:01:20,367 --> 00:01:22,727
For 20 years,
the federal government
34
00:01:22,867 --> 00:01:26,167
tried to find answers
and failed.
35
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:30,230
Now a new team
of dedicated scientists,
36
00:01:30,367 --> 00:01:34,067
researchers and experts
has taken over.
37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,170
They are determined to solve
the mystery and reveal...
38
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:44,003
...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,700
ERIK: Hey, guys.
James Keenan's with us.
40
00:01:54,834 --> 00:01:57,374
-James, why don't you have a
seat at the head of the table.
-Hi, everyone. Thank you.
41
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,130
-Nice to meet you.
-TRAVIS: Hey!
42
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:02,526
-James Keenan. Thank you.
-Nice to meet you, man.
-Have a seat.
43
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:04,767
ERIK: We've spoken
a little bit about
44
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,130
James's area
of expertise and study.
45
00:02:08,266 --> 00:02:12,096
He's a researcher and an author
touching on a lot of the stuff
46
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,603
that we're interested in
here at the ranch,
47
00:02:14,734 --> 00:02:16,774
and has some
interesting connections
48
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:18,630
that he thinks he's found.
49
00:02:18,767 --> 00:02:20,797
All right.
50
00:02:20,934 --> 00:02:22,934
We've been applying
hard science to figure out
51
00:02:23,066 --> 00:02:24,726
the bizarre phenomena
that keep happening
52
00:02:24,867 --> 00:02:27,097
at Homestead Two
and other parts of the ranch,
53
00:02:27,233 --> 00:02:30,073
but so far nothing definitive
has been discovered.
54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,700
So Erik Bard
invited a researcher named
55
00:02:32,834 --> 00:02:34,604
James Keenan
who has been studying
56
00:02:34,734 --> 00:02:36,434
this area for more than 25 years
57
00:02:36,567 --> 00:02:38,927
and had a theory
about what might be causing
58
00:02:39,066 --> 00:02:41,296
all the strange phenomena here.
59
00:02:41,433 --> 00:02:43,303
James had never been
on the ranch,
60
00:02:43,433 --> 00:02:45,773
but Erik explained to me
that he conducted
61
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:49,070
vector magnetometer surveys
of the surrounding area,
62
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,270
measuring for the strength
and the direction
63
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,770
of magnetic anomalies.
64
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,430
And what he found
pointed him here.
65
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:58,367
JAMES:
So my research
started near the area.
66
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,600
This is the Uinta Basin.
67
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:06,774
You see that area that
I've put a blue marker over?
68
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,630
I went in there
and wanted to take some
69
00:03:09,767 --> 00:03:12,267
uh, vector
magnetometer readings.
70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,970
However, when I went to go
put my magnetometer away,
71
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:19,030
I carry with me
a standard compass,
72
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,696
just the typical
Boy Scout compass.
73
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:23,334
I had it on a rock.
74
00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:25,297
Uh, it was spinning.
75
00:03:26,834 --> 00:03:28,204
Uncontrollably spinning.
76
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:31,870
And I thought to myself,
well, maybe it's something
77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,970
in my backpack or with the rock.
78
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:36,800
So I picked up the compass,
79
00:03:36,934 --> 00:03:39,634
I put everything down,
and I moved
80
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:42,097
about five or six feet away,
and it continued.
81
00:03:42,233 --> 00:03:44,133
At about what rate?
82
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:46,226
Faster than a second hand. Yeah.
83
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:49,603
ERIK:
One of the stories
that we've heard
84
00:03:49,734 --> 00:03:52,274
on a few occasions is
85
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,100
an old-school magnetic compass
86
00:03:54,233 --> 00:03:56,503
would begin rotating wildly.
87
00:03:56,633 --> 00:03:58,773
We've seen
this kind of thing before
88
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:00,770
with other instrumentation.
89
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,100
What do we make of it?
I don't know.
90
00:04:03,233 --> 00:04:05,533
Other than
the fact that something
91
00:04:05,667 --> 00:04:09,127
is altering
the magnetic environment.
92
00:04:10,033 --> 00:04:12,533
JAMES:
So I continued
to take magnetometer reads
93
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:14,427
throughout this area
94
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:16,827
west of the ranch,
east of the ranch,
95
00:04:16,967 --> 00:04:19,567
south of the ranch, on the mesa.
96
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,230
Most of it was typical reads.
97
00:04:22,367 --> 00:04:24,367
And we're talking
hundreds of data points taken.
98
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:27,870
But I had three reads
that had the exact same
99
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,870
transient, magnetic
read of anywhere
100
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
from a negative to the mid-40s.
101
00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:39,266
TRAVIS:
What James reported
was really interesting
102
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,000
because a normal
magnetic field reading
103
00:04:41,133 --> 00:04:43,503
for this desert area
should be positive
104
00:04:43,633 --> 00:04:45,573
and in the single digits
105
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:47,930
up to about 80 microteslas.
106
00:04:48,066 --> 00:04:50,066
For him to get negative readings
107
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,530
and as much as
minus 40 microteslas,
108
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:56,197
that means there's something
unusual underground,
109
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:59,203
such as a void
or a large metallic object,
110
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,233
or even a structure.
111
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:04,670
So not only was it here,
112
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,770
but it was right here,
113
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:09,870
and I had one right there.
114
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,400
When I plugged
these three anomalies,
115
00:05:15,533 --> 00:05:19,003
they lined up in
this imaginary straight line.
116
00:05:19,133 --> 00:05:22,073
Guess where it ran
straight through?
117
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,670
Skinwalker Ranch.
118
00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:28,674
I believe there is
something underground.
119
00:05:31,233 --> 00:05:33,633
There's all kinds of rumors
that have been floating around
120
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:36,397
this ranch since the day
that I stepped foot on it.
121
00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:40,603
Whether it be underground
tunnels, underground bases,
122
00:05:40,734 --> 00:05:43,674
alien craft
that's buried under here.
123
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,830
And, so, a lot of stories
all indicating
124
00:05:46,967 --> 00:05:50,367
that there may be something
under Skinwalker Ranch.
125
00:05:51,433 --> 00:05:54,503
JAMES:
When you look at this,
you're cutting right directly
126
00:05:54,633 --> 00:05:56,773
through my
focal and origin point,
127
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,370
which is this location
of Skinwalker Ranch.
128
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:03,730
Hmm.
129
00:06:04,767 --> 00:06:07,627
JAMES:
It looks like a shark tooth.
130
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:10,267
-That's interesting.
-That is very interesting.
131
00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:13,633
TRAVIS:
James Keenan,
who studied the area
132
00:06:13,767 --> 00:06:15,467
but never
been on the ranch before,
133
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,830
has pinpointed a location
that he called a shark tooth.
134
00:06:18,967 --> 00:06:22,767
Well, we know that
as the triangle.
135
00:06:23,834 --> 00:06:26,134
We call it that after
an experiment last year...
136
00:06:26,266 --> 00:06:28,026
Three, two, one, let it launch.
137
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:30,196
...where we measured
anomalous energy spikes
138
00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:32,533
from three different locations
across the ranch
139
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:35,127
that all pointed,
or triangulated,
140
00:06:35,266 --> 00:06:36,626
to this same spot,
141
00:06:36,767 --> 00:06:39,727
except about a mile high
above the ranch.
142
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:41,697
And just last week,
143
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:44,034
Steven Wall,
the nephew of the Shermans,
144
00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:45,826
who were so scared
145
00:06:45,967 --> 00:06:47,897
by what they kept seeing
in the 1990s,
146
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:50,703
that they sold the ranch
and refused to ever come back,
147
00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,904
he shared a crazy story
about a possible portal
148
00:06:54,033 --> 00:06:56,503
appearing high
above the triangle as well.
149
00:06:56,633 --> 00:06:59,633
Right over there you could see
something open up in the sky.
150
00:06:59,767 --> 00:07:01,427
Something came out of it.
151
00:07:01,567 --> 00:07:02,797
It come working
its way up through
152
00:07:02,934 --> 00:07:04,774
them Russian olive trees,
and it went straight up,
153
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:06,630
and that hole closed.
154
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:09,070
So even though
we've been focusing
155
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,200
our investigation
of the triangle area
156
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:12,803
high above the ground,
157
00:07:12,934 --> 00:07:15,604
the fact that James is getting
anomalous readings
158
00:07:15,734 --> 00:07:17,904
at this spot below the ground
159
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:21,233
makes me wonder if that's
where we need to look next.
160
00:07:22,333 --> 00:07:24,303
TRAVIS:
So what do you think it is?
161
00:07:24,433 --> 00:07:27,703
There seems to be the potential
or the possibility
162
00:07:27,834 --> 00:07:31,634
for a tunnel system
with a water feature
163
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:34,567
going like this
straight down for miles.
164
00:07:36,433 --> 00:07:38,973
So do you think
a cavity or a tunnel
165
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:41,530
could be an explanation
for the anomaly?
166
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:43,567
-Yes, absolutely.
-All right.
167
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:49,427
TRAVIS:
Caverns with water flowing
underneath the ranch
168
00:07:49,567 --> 00:07:51,627
might explain some strange
magnetic anomalies
169
00:07:51,767 --> 00:07:56,867
if it's mineral water or there's
salt or other ionic materials
170
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,870
in the water that can carry
an electric current.
171
00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:03,296
It might also explain something
that happened earlier this year.
172
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,270
-THOMAS: That's a lot of water
that went away.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
173
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,870
TRAVIS:
A few weeks ago,
174
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
we dug into
a strange and deep pit
175
00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:13,273
that Thomas found
near Homestead Two.
176
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,030
When we couldn't get
to the bottom of it,
177
00:08:15,166 --> 00:08:18,366
we poured 45,000 gallons
of dyed water
178
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,200
into it just to see
if it would appear
179
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:21,673
somewhere else on the ranch.
180
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,270
It all just disappeared.
181
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,330
So now I'm wondering if James
182
00:08:25,467 --> 00:08:28,127
is really onto something
that could not only explain
183
00:08:28,266 --> 00:08:31,626
where all that water went,
but just maybe what's behind
184
00:08:31,767 --> 00:08:34,027
the weird phenomena
on Skinwalker Ranch.
185
00:08:34,166 --> 00:08:37,266
What do you want
from us about that spot?
186
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,430
Do a grid pattern search
187
00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:43,267
to see if there...
188
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,870
could be an explanation,
189
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,770
uh, below ground.
190
00:08:48,834 --> 00:08:52,374
Well, we're more than happy
to pack you in to the Jeeps
191
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:53,970
and head out and let you,
192
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,470
-you know, continue your search.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
193
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,270
-JAMES: Okay. Sounds good.
-BRYANT: Let's do it.
194
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,730
All right.
195
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:05,103
TRAVIS:
Since the team is very cautious
196
00:09:05,233 --> 00:09:07,103
about disturbing the ground
on Skinwalker Ranch
197
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:10,633
because bizarre injuries
have coincided with digging...
198
00:09:11,533 --> 00:09:14,503
...we let James
conduct a non-invasive
199
00:09:14,633 --> 00:09:17,573
vector magnetometer survey
right at the triangle
200
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:20,030
to see if he could
confirm any anomalies.
201
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:23,896
THOMAS:
So, James,
you've personally seen caverns
202
00:09:24,033 --> 00:09:26,273
that seem like they're
traveling down this direction.
203
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,400
Correct. And, uh, most of these
were filled with, uh, water.
204
00:09:30,533 --> 00:09:33,533
-Okay.
-THOMAS: Well, let's see
what you find.
205
00:09:37,333 --> 00:09:40,573
JAMES:
Can I have somebody log
the numbers from a distance?
206
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:42,530
-ERIK: Sure.
-JAMES: I'll call them out.
207
00:09:46,967 --> 00:09:50,067
So we're 48.641.
208
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,200
43.842.
209
00:09:53,333 --> 00:09:55,573
49.941.
210
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,070
That's weird.
211
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,770
Hey, guys. So I've got
something interesting here.
212
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:05,100
We went from
a-a peak value of 49.870
213
00:10:05,233 --> 00:10:07,933
down to a 43 to about a 45.
214
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:11,096
The value is moving
without me moving.
215
00:10:13,233 --> 00:10:16,573
James's initial reading
of about 49 microteslas
216
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:20,170
was pretty normal, but then
for him to almost immediately
217
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:23,730
get a six-point drop--
that makes no sense to me.
218
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:26,867
The natural ground
shouldn't be that inconsistent.
219
00:10:27,967 --> 00:10:30,427
-So right now it's changing.
-JAMES: Correct.
220
00:10:30,567 --> 00:10:33,067
It's just climbing
right now to 48.
221
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,300
It's just all
over the place right here.
222
00:10:36,367 --> 00:10:38,667
TRAVIS:
When his readings then started
jumping back and forth,
223
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,670
that made me even more intrigued
about what could be causing it.
224
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,530
Something strange
is definitely going on here
225
00:10:44,667 --> 00:10:45,997
below this triangle area.
226
00:10:47,066 --> 00:10:49,196
JAMES:
41.328.
227
00:10:49,333 --> 00:10:51,673
-TRAVIS: Oh, hey.
-ERIK: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
228
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,700
It's dropping.
229
00:10:53,834 --> 00:10:55,734
It dropped
all the way down to 31.
230
00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:58,127
ERIK:
What the heck?
231
00:11:00,266 --> 00:11:01,826
TRAVIS: We need
to look underground.
232
00:11:01,967 --> 00:11:03,927
ZACH: I've brought a
ground-penetrating radar.
233
00:11:04,066 --> 00:11:06,296
Hey, why don't you
come take a look at this.
234
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:08,003
That's going crazy.
235
00:11:08,133 --> 00:11:10,333
The ground beneath us
is super conductive.
236
00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:13,267
-THOMAS: What the heck?
-KALEB: We should
start excavating.
237
00:11:19,033 --> 00:11:21,173
JAMES:
It's dropping.
238
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,230
Yeah. It dropped
all the way down to 31.
239
00:11:24,367 --> 00:11:26,327
So I don't know how
to interpret this.
240
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:29,327
-I've got values from 49 to...
-There was a 31.
241
00:11:30,433 --> 00:11:33,133
James Keenan, a researcher
who believes there could be
242
00:11:33,266 --> 00:11:36,196
some kind of underground
flooded cavern or tunnel system
243
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:39,633
here at the so-called triangle
area, has just picked up
244
00:11:39,767 --> 00:11:41,797
a series of anomalous readings
245
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:44,074
with a handheld magnetometer.
246
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,670
So 31 to 49.
247
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,530
-JAMES: Correct.
-Okay.
248
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:50,167
TRAVIS:
James's readings did
indicate a very strange
249
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,630
disturbance in the magnetic
field here underground,
250
00:11:53,767 --> 00:11:55,397
so who knows if that could mean
251
00:11:55,533 --> 00:11:57,633
he's right about a flooded
cavern or a tunnel,
252
00:11:57,767 --> 00:11:59,467
or some kind
of unknown structure,
253
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,070
which people have speculated
about in the past as well.
254
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,370
So I think
the next step is to get
255
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,630
some ground-penetrating radar
equipment out here
256
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:08,727
and see
if we can get better data,
257
00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:11,797
or even an image
of just what it could be.
258
00:12:11,934 --> 00:12:14,534
Well, James,
this is great stuff.
259
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:16,267
Uh, I think we've pretty much
covered this area
260
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,270
and, you know,
it's something weird
261
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,570
about this spot.
Uh, so, you know, I say we just
262
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:24,230
shut down, load up, and head
back to the command center.
263
00:12:24,367 --> 00:12:26,797
-Sounds good to me.
-All right. Well, I appreciate
you doing this.
264
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:37,370
ERIK:
What's going on, guys?
265
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,100
KANDUS:
We just reviewed
266
00:12:39,233 --> 00:12:41,903
-the footage from the game cams.
-Oh. Cool.
267
00:12:42,033 --> 00:12:44,203
While I was working
with Thomas Winterton
268
00:12:44,333 --> 00:12:46,373
to arrange for a
ground-penetrating radar expert
269
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:48,400
to come check out
the triangle area,
270
00:12:48,533 --> 00:12:51,433
the ranch caretakers
Kandus Linde and Tom Lewis,
271
00:12:51,567 --> 00:12:52,967
who have been helping monitor
272
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,770
the cattle on the ranch
this summer,
273
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:57,530
showed some very peculiar
surveillance footage
274
00:12:57,667 --> 00:12:58,967
to Erik Bard.
275
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,030
KANDUS:
This one by the cow tree
276
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:04,526
had a few things on it that we
wanted you to get your eyes on.
277
00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:07,427
-Okay.
-Yeah.
278
00:13:07,567 --> 00:13:09,197
-ERIK: And...
-KANDUS: Yeah,
start with that one.
279
00:13:09,333 --> 00:13:11,333
-ERIK: Okay. This one here?
-KANDUS: Mm-hmm.
280
00:13:11,467 --> 00:13:12,367
-There.
-ERIK: Okay.
281
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,300
What?
282
00:13:15,767 --> 00:13:19,297
What are we looking at here?
283
00:13:19,433 --> 00:13:21,603
-Um, yeah, what is that?
-KANDUS: We don't know.
284
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:27,970
-ERIK: So...
-KANDUS: And it's there and
then it's not in each of the,
285
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:30,670
-you know,
the frames before and after.
-ERIK: Okay.
286
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,770
With these game cams,
everything's in focus,
287
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:34,600
-everything's pretty clear.
-ERIK: Uh-huh.
288
00:13:34,734 --> 00:13:37,004
And that is very unclear.
289
00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:39,073
ERIK:
Okay.
290
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,930
TOM:
This particular photograph--
291
00:13:42,066 --> 00:13:44,526
I couldn't tell what it was.
It looked like something
292
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:47,027
flying in the sky, to me,
that was cloaked
293
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:48,796
and really bizarre,
294
00:13:48,934 --> 00:13:51,204
so I don't have any idea
295
00:13:51,333 --> 00:13:54,133
what that would be
in a natural sense.
296
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:56,166
And 'cause
this is Skinwalker Ranch,
297
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:58,800
you kind of have to wonder
what's going on.
298
00:13:58,934 --> 00:14:00,674
I've got tell you,
I'm scratching my head
299
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,830
on some of the features
that I see here.
300
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,600
I'm not sure what to make
301
00:14:05,734 --> 00:14:08,904
of this unusual,
dark spot in the sky.
302
00:14:09,033 --> 00:14:10,503
It's not unlike some
of the other things
303
00:14:10,633 --> 00:14:12,573
that we've seen
in our footage in the past.
304
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,830
So we're going
to be studying that image
305
00:14:14,967 --> 00:14:18,227
and look for more like it
in coming days.
306
00:14:18,367 --> 00:14:20,897
KANDUS:
Then, we noticed the cows
307
00:14:21,033 --> 00:14:24,233
left this area
and didn't come back.
308
00:14:24,367 --> 00:14:26,027
-In the same time frame?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
309
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,566
Well, I've got
some of the recent
310
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,700
movement cow tracker data.
311
00:14:29,834 --> 00:14:32,574
-You know, this is cumulative
data for the summer.
-Mm-hmm.
312
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:34,500
Okay. So...
313
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,330
So this is really more
almost like a-a snapshot
314
00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:42,327
of where the--
uh, of where the herd were.
315
00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:44,527
We have the movement system.
316
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:48,267
The GPS tags in the ears
of some of the cattle
317
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,230
that allow us to study
the movement of the herd
318
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:52,767
over the course of time.
319
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:54,530
One surprising result is where
320
00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:56,397
they tend not to congregate,
321
00:14:56,533 --> 00:14:59,333
as if they're avoiding
certain regions of the property.
322
00:14:59,467 --> 00:15:02,097
We have indications
of these tags
323
00:15:02,233 --> 00:15:04,433
being as far
out of the field as here.
324
00:15:04,567 --> 00:15:07,467
-KANDUS: Mm-hmm.
-ERIK: Okay? And we even
have them going down into the,
325
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,000
-you know, into the Serengeti,
right? Down here.
-KANDUS: Yeah.
326
00:15:10,133 --> 00:15:13,233
ERIK:
And yet there are regions
within our own field,
327
00:15:13,367 --> 00:15:15,167
where the cows
seem to avoid them.
328
00:15:16,867 --> 00:15:18,927
TOM:
They've been here
every day, every morning.
329
00:15:19,066 --> 00:15:21,796
-ERIK: So they love
to hang out here.
-Mm-hmm.
330
00:15:21,934 --> 00:15:25,174
And you're saying they left
and, correlative with that,
331
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:26,700
-we have the puff of smoke.
-Mm-hmm.
332
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,570
TRAVIS:
What made the footage
of this blurry object
333
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:33,330
and the correlation
of the cattle movement
334
00:15:33,467 --> 00:15:35,627
away from that area
so compelling
335
00:15:35,767 --> 00:15:38,967
is that it was in that
location where last year
336
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:40,730
one of the cows suddenly died,
337
00:15:40,867 --> 00:15:43,497
and not from natural causes.
338
00:15:43,633 --> 00:15:46,173
So it makes us all wonder
what is going on
339
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:48,070
with that particular area?
340
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,970
Does it have to do with whatever
was captured in the footage?
341
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:55,670
Or could it be something
below ground there?
342
00:15:57,867 --> 00:15:59,227
ERIK:
Okay.
343
00:15:59,367 --> 00:16:01,827
-Well, keep them coming.
-Yeah.
-All right.
344
00:16:01,967 --> 00:16:05,167
-TOM: Thank you so much, Erik.
-KANDUS: Yeah, no, thank you for
your time. We'll see you later.
345
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,370
-Looks like MALA's here.
-BRYANT: Yeah.
346
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:17,500
ERIK:
You guys remember Zach?
347
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
-Looks like some new equipment.
Hey, Zach.
-ZACH: Hey, how's it going?
348
00:16:23,133 --> 00:16:25,203
-ERIK: Hey.
Awesome to have you back.
-BRYANT: Welcome back, man.
349
00:16:25,333 --> 00:16:27,503
-Good to see you.
-ZACH: Thank you, thank you.
Good to see you.
350
00:16:27,633 --> 00:16:28,833
ERIK:
I'm thrilled to have Zach Zyla
351
00:16:28,967 --> 00:16:30,327
coming back out to the ranch.
352
00:16:30,467 --> 00:16:32,397
We're going to be taking
a careful look
353
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:36,133
in the triangle area
where we got those very strange
354
00:16:36,266 --> 00:16:38,626
vector magnetometer readings
with James Keenan.
355
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:41,627
-What'd you bring?
-I brought a ground-penetrating
radar.
356
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:44,667
Hopefully, we can see down
to maybe ten to 15 feet,
357
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800
but, more realistically,
probably six to ten.
358
00:16:47,934 --> 00:16:49,134
All right, sounds good.
359
00:16:49,266 --> 00:16:51,796
♪ ♪
360
00:16:53,767 --> 00:16:55,167
THOMAS:
I feel like we've looked above
361
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:56,830
in this particular place
pretty good,
362
00:16:56,967 --> 00:16:59,467
and so now it's time
to GPR the triangle,
363
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,370
and see if we can draw
our attention to specific places
364
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:03,700
that we should dig.
365
00:17:03,834 --> 00:17:04,934
All right,
I'd say let's get on it,
366
00:17:05,066 --> 00:17:07,296
and get this done
as quick as we can.
367
00:17:08,367 --> 00:17:10,967
ERIK:
GPR is ground-penetrating radar.
368
00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:13,400
We're broadcasting radar waves
down into the ground
369
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,373
and looking at the reflections
370
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:18,470
in order to get an idea of what
may be beneath the surface.
371
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,930
ZACH:
So I kind of see
the triangle comes to a point
372
00:17:21,066 --> 00:17:22,226
right where our trucks are.
373
00:17:22,367 --> 00:17:24,627
Do you mind if we kind of
start right here,
374
00:17:24,767 --> 00:17:26,027
kind of across
this flag and then
375
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:27,426
we'll start just kind of
going back and forth?
376
00:17:27,567 --> 00:17:29,297
-THOMAS: You're the expert.
-That's perfect.
377
00:17:29,433 --> 00:17:31,403
-ZACH: Let's go.
-KALEB: Do what you need to.
378
00:17:31,533 --> 00:17:33,633
(beeping)
379
00:17:33,767 --> 00:17:36,527
ERIK:
This is an area where
we've seen unusual signals
380
00:17:36,667 --> 00:17:38,127
using other equipment.
381
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,026
There may be something
beneath the ground there,
382
00:17:40,166 --> 00:17:42,596
and we want to see
if anything stands out.
383
00:17:42,734 --> 00:17:44,634
(beeping rapidly)
384
00:17:44,767 --> 00:17:45,867
ZACH:
Hmm.
385
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,530
Interesting.
386
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:51,730
Hey, why don't you, uh,
come take a look at this.
387
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,330
That's going crazy.
388
00:17:56,667 --> 00:17:58,627
THOMAS:
What the heck?
389
00:18:00,266 --> 00:18:02,126
-BRYANT: We ready to do this?
-THOMAS: Let's dig.
390
00:18:02,266 --> 00:18:04,026
TRAVIS:
Look at this, guys.
391
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,696
I don't know what's going on,
but it's detecting everywhere.
392
00:18:06,834 --> 00:18:07,934
-Like we're triggering
something.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
393
00:18:08,066 --> 00:18:09,696
Did you hear
the gamma rays just go off?
394
00:18:09,834 --> 00:18:11,134
-BRYANT: That's weird.
-What the heck?!
395
00:18:11,266 --> 00:18:12,766
TRAVIS:
There's something
about this hole.
396
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,170
ZACH:
That's going crazy.
397
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,500
We're putting
out an electromagnetic signal
398
00:18:23,633 --> 00:18:25,673
into the ground,
and the ground's really making
399
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,870
that whole thing ring.
400
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,530
You see all these black
and white lines?
401
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:30,997
This is actually because,
402
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:32,833
you know,
the soil in the, you know,
403
00:18:32,967 --> 00:18:34,967
ground beneath us
is highly conductive.
404
00:18:37,266 --> 00:18:39,366
TRAVIS: Certain minerals
in the soil, like salt,
405
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:41,030
which is common to this area,
406
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,896
could make
the ground conductive,
407
00:18:43,033 --> 00:18:45,173
but so could water
or a water flow
408
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:47,830
like James Keenan
suggested to us when he said
409
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:49,967
he believes there could be
flooded tunnels
410
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,970
under the triangle area.
411
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:55,130
ZACH:
Right here. You can see
something kind of weird
412
00:18:55,266 --> 00:18:58,326
is going on in terms of, you
know, maybe ground movement.
413
00:18:58,467 --> 00:19:00,427
Someone kind of dug up,
mushed around
414
00:19:00,567 --> 00:19:02,227
and then, you know,
backfilled everything.
415
00:19:02,367 --> 00:19:04,427
So that point right there,
you're saying
416
00:19:04,567 --> 00:19:07,227
that's been disturbed possibly,
is in this triangle.
417
00:19:07,367 --> 00:19:09,997
Within-- yeah, within kind
of the two areas of the road.
418
00:19:11,066 --> 00:19:12,566
THOMAS:
What the heck?
419
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:14,630
Now that we
have confirmation that
420
00:19:14,767 --> 00:19:17,597
the soil has been disturbed,
does that mean that someone just
421
00:19:17,734 --> 00:19:20,874
dug here in the past, or was
something actually buried here?
422
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,470
Or, more to the point,
was something
423
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,100
constructed under the ground?
424
00:19:24,233 --> 00:19:27,103
There's really only
one way to figure that out.
425
00:19:27,233 --> 00:19:30,533
Do you think
it'd be a good, uh, next step
426
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:33,967
that we potentially
start excavating?
427
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,630
I think it could be,
uh, justified.
428
00:19:35,767 --> 00:19:36,797
Really?
429
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:40,666
Well, that's--
that is interesting.
430
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,700
BRYANT:
It was a mandate given to me
431
00:19:44,834 --> 00:19:46,634
that we were
to be very cautious,
432
00:19:46,767 --> 00:19:49,027
in particular
with digging activities,
433
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:52,396
but I know that there
are answers that we're trying
434
00:19:52,533 --> 00:19:56,273
to get to the bottom of
that may actually require
435
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,270
more of that sort of activity.
436
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,800
So if we do it in a safe manner,
437
00:20:00,934 --> 00:20:03,134
then I'm prepared
to let the team dig.
438
00:20:03,266 --> 00:20:04,796
THOMAS:
Okay.
439
00:20:04,934 --> 00:20:06,574
Okay.
440
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:08,570
THOMAS:
Well, let's get this loaded up.
441
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:10,130
BRYANT:
Thanks again for coming out.
442
00:20:10,266 --> 00:20:12,066
ZACH:
Thanks for, uh, having me again.
443
00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:23,067
TRAVIS: We do have a
mini excavator on the ranch
444
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,470
that Brandon, the ranch owner,
445
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,770
has given permission for us
446
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:27,230
to conduct shallow digs with
447
00:20:27,367 --> 00:20:29,267
when we find evidence
of anomalies.
448
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,770
So I think we need to take that
step next and see what we find.
449
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:35,900
-BRYANT: We ready to do this?
-THOMAS: Let's dig.
450
00:20:36,033 --> 00:20:39,033
TRAVIS:
Now, as we conduct our shallow
dig for more scientific evidence
451
00:20:39,166 --> 00:20:41,096
of what could be buried
in the triangle area,
452
00:20:41,233 --> 00:20:43,303
we're going to be very cautious
453
00:20:43,433 --> 00:20:45,803
since we already had
a strange experience this year
454
00:20:45,934 --> 00:20:48,404
when we dug up
the pit at Homestead Two.
455
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,770
ERIK: You guys should take
a look at Kaleb's phone.
456
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:54,100
KALEB: I don't have
any control over it.
457
00:20:54,233 --> 00:20:55,773
It just goes right
past my passcode.
458
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:58,700
TRAVIS: Something strange
happened to Kaleb's phone,
459
00:20:58,834 --> 00:21:00,274
like it was being hacked.
460
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,100
Something here
is crying out for help.
461
00:21:02,233 --> 00:21:04,033
KALEB:
Or is it giving us a warning?
462
00:21:04,166 --> 00:21:05,866
TRAVIS:
You know, I'm a scientist.
463
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,030
Things have reasons
for happening, but so many
464
00:21:09,166 --> 00:21:11,626
strange things happen here
that I can't explain.
465
00:21:11,767 --> 00:21:15,027
BRYANT:
All right. If you start
feeling anything funny,
466
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:16,996
let each other know, okay?
467
00:21:17,133 --> 00:21:18,473
Yep, got it. Thank you.
468
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,770
All right, Thomas!
469
00:21:27,066 --> 00:21:29,166
While Thomas digs
with the mini excavator,
470
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,300
Dragon and Kaleb will be
sifting through the spoils
471
00:21:32,433 --> 00:21:34,433
for anything metallic
that might explain
472
00:21:34,567 --> 00:21:36,667
why the soil here
is so conductive.
473
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,970
Now, Erik and I
will be monitoring
474
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,000
our spectrum analyzer,
our gamma ray detector,
475
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,873
the lightning strike meter,
and we'll use a metal detector
476
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,900
to see if anything else happens
as we disturb the ground.
477
00:21:54,633 --> 00:21:56,673
(beeping)
478
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,870
There's something right here.
479
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,630
Next scoop.
480
00:22:20,033 --> 00:22:21,773
TRAVIS:
It's weird, Erik. Look.
481
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,400
Nothing's happening.
Before, it was going nuts.
482
00:22:24,533 --> 00:22:27,333
-ERIK: Okay.
-I say keep on digging.
483
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:34,230
(indistinct chatter)
484
00:22:34,367 --> 00:22:36,197
-(beeping)
-Oh.
485
00:22:36,333 --> 00:22:37,573
W-What the heck?
486
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:39,000
I don't understand
487
00:22:39,133 --> 00:22:41,173
what could be making
the metal detector
488
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:44,200
register strong hits
and then nothing.
489
00:22:44,333 --> 00:22:47,403
Once again, it's a transient
anomaly that is occurring.
490
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,233
-BRYANT: That's weird.
-What the heck?
491
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:52,527
-(beeping)
-THOMAS: Holy smokes.
492
00:22:52,667 --> 00:22:54,997
TRAVIS:
What's going on with that?
493
00:22:55,133 --> 00:22:57,673
So now, since people
warn against digging,
494
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,570
could these readings
be because of that?
495
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:02,770
Or is there something here
underground causing it?
496
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:04,600
(droning)
497
00:23:04,734 --> 00:23:06,434
Whoa, it was a lot stronger
this time.
498
00:23:06,567 --> 00:23:08,097
I didn't even have to make it
all the way to the ground
499
00:23:08,233 --> 00:23:09,503
before it went off.
500
00:23:09,633 --> 00:23:11,303
THOMAS:
What the heck?
501
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:13,433
TRAVIS:
I-I'm a foot
from the ground now.
502
00:23:13,567 --> 00:23:15,127
(beeping, droning)
503
00:23:15,266 --> 00:23:17,096
I'm not making it
all the way to the bottom,
504
00:23:17,233 --> 00:23:20,173
-but when I come up
out of the hole...
-ERIK: Okay.
505
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,330
TRAVIS:
That's weird, man.
506
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,630
The deeper we dug there,
the stronger
507
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:27,567
the signal was getting
on the metal detector.
508
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,630
But we found no metal objects at
all in the spoils at that point.
509
00:23:31,767 --> 00:23:35,267
So it made me think we must be
getting closer and closer
510
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,830
to a really large
metal object or a structure.
511
00:23:37,967 --> 00:23:39,327
(electronic squealing)
512
00:23:39,467 --> 00:23:41,967
-Did you hear the gamma rays
just go off?
-Yeah.
513
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,370
-(electronic squealing)
-KALEB: There it goes again.
514
00:23:47,433 --> 00:23:50,833
-Yeah, 24 microohms per hour.
-What does that mean?
515
00:23:50,967 --> 00:23:52,267
ERIK:
Well, what we're seeing
is more than double
516
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,730
the normal background level.
517
00:23:53,867 --> 00:23:55,567
(electronic squealing)
518
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:58,230
-TRAVIS: Now it's just,
like, wigged out.
-It's malfunctioning.
519
00:23:58,367 --> 00:24:00,867
-THOMAS: What's going on?
-KALEB: What in the world?
520
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
It's detecting everywhere.
521
00:24:03,133 --> 00:24:05,373
There's something
about this hole.
522
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:07,200
THOMAS:
Well, is it me, or is this
523
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:09,173
-almost like
we're triggering something?
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
524
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:12,070
(droning stops)
525
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,730
TRAVIS:
What the crap?
526
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:17,496
Look, there is nothing now.
527
00:24:17,633 --> 00:24:19,333
This thing was
going crazy a minute ago.
528
00:24:20,433 --> 00:24:22,303
Something weird
just happened here.
529
00:24:22,433 --> 00:24:24,833
It could be natural
or unnatural. I don't know.
530
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:26,797
THOMAS:
What's charging it?
531
00:24:26,934 --> 00:24:30,474
Is this whole ranch
a big generator?
532
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,500
Well, we've heard
how many stories about
533
00:24:32,633 --> 00:24:35,633
the possibility of something
underneath the ground,
534
00:24:35,767 --> 00:24:39,297
whether it be caverns, a base...
535
00:24:39,433 --> 00:24:43,573
So who's to say it couldn't
be something even more crazy.
536
00:24:44,633 --> 00:24:46,633
We've heard
stories of individuals
537
00:24:46,767 --> 00:24:48,667
going into these
deep caves or caverns,
538
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,870
and we've even heard crazy
stories about these openings
539
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,330
that lead to some
sort of an underground base.
540
00:24:54,467 --> 00:24:56,297
We need to be careful of that
541
00:24:56,433 --> 00:24:58,633
and definitely
study this area more.
542
00:24:58,767 --> 00:25:00,727
Yeah, the really exotic
explanation is there's something
543
00:25:00,867 --> 00:25:02,297
under the ground here
that's either
544
00:25:02,433 --> 00:25:04,433
-using this or causing this.
-Mm-hmm.
545
00:25:04,567 --> 00:25:06,867
We just got
to keep going deeper because
546
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,430
it's certainly
not at eight-foot deep.
547
00:25:09,567 --> 00:25:12,627
We've now gone as deep as we can
with this mini excavator.
548
00:25:12,767 --> 00:25:14,697
So whatever's here
is deeper than we can
549
00:25:14,834 --> 00:25:15,934
actually reach today.
550
00:25:16,066 --> 00:25:17,466
I think what we need to do next
551
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,130
is to conduct a deeper
magnetometry scan of this area
552
00:25:20,266 --> 00:25:22,696
to figure out just what's
causing these energy spikes,
553
00:25:22,834 --> 00:25:24,934
and if it really
could be a structure
554
00:25:25,066 --> 00:25:27,696
or a flooded tunnel system
like James Keenan told us.
555
00:25:27,834 --> 00:25:30,804
BRYANT:
I don't know that
we are any less confused,
556
00:25:30,934 --> 00:25:34,474
but, you know, it definitely
hammers home the point
557
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,370
that we have to
study this area way more.
558
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:38,870
-TRAVIS: Yep.
-BRYANT: All right, well,
559
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
let's pack it up
and get out of here.
560
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,630
NATHAN: Here is the magnetic
data of the whole property.
561
00:25:49,767 --> 00:25:51,927
We've got Homestead Two.
562
00:25:52,066 --> 00:25:53,896
There's extreme
magnetic field anomaly
563
00:25:54,033 --> 00:25:56,073
compared to
the rest of the background.
564
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,470
There's something
going on in the ground,
565
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,100
particularly there
at the homestead area.
566
00:26:10,066 --> 00:26:13,196
-TRAVIS: Hey, fellas.
How y'all doing?
-JEFF: Doing well.
567
00:26:13,333 --> 00:26:15,103
-How are you?
-TRAVIS: After our shallow dig
568
00:26:15,233 --> 00:26:17,033
with the mini excavator
at the triangle area
569
00:26:17,166 --> 00:26:18,996
didn't really find
any definitive evidence
570
00:26:19,133 --> 00:26:20,903
of a structure or a tunnel,
571
00:26:21,033 --> 00:26:23,503
that means we need
to dig much deeper.
572
00:26:23,633 --> 00:26:25,573
But before we can
do anything more invasive
573
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:27,700
or potentially risky like that,
574
00:26:27,834 --> 00:26:30,574
Brandon Fugal,
the owner of Skinwalker Ranch,
575
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,500
is going to want to see
some hard scientific evidence.
576
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:36,173
ERIK:
Everybody, I want you to meet
the team from Juniper Unmanned.
577
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,570
(overlapping greetings)
578
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:40,170
TRAVIS:
So we invited Juniper Unmanned,
579
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:41,570
a company that specializes
580
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:43,900
in both magnetometry
and LiDAR technologies
581
00:26:44,033 --> 00:26:47,173
to help us perform a deeper
and more comprehensive scan
582
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,600
of the triangle,
as well as other hot spots
583
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:52,834
around the ranch
where we keep seeing anomalies.
584
00:26:52,967 --> 00:26:54,597
ERIK:
There are a few
585
00:26:54,734 --> 00:26:57,374
locations of interest relative
to the magnetic question.
586
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:59,170
The homestead area
out to the west
587
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:00,830
is very interesting to us.
588
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:04,827
There are a few concentrated
regions here in the east field
589
00:27:04,967 --> 00:27:08,297
that are also-- they have
some interesting history.
590
00:27:08,433 --> 00:27:11,133
So no shortage of interesting
sites on this ranch.
591
00:27:11,266 --> 00:27:12,996
-THOMAS: Let's get it done.
-JEFF: Great.
592
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:20,500
TRAVIS:
We want to know
if there could be a connection
593
00:27:20,633 --> 00:27:23,773
between the pit at Homestead Two
where all that water disappeared
594
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:26,330
earlier this year,
and the triangle area,
595
00:27:26,467 --> 00:27:28,567
which may have
flooded tunnels below it.
596
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:29,930
So I'm really interested in
597
00:27:30,066 --> 00:27:32,626
what the magnetometry scan
is gonna tell us.
598
00:27:32,767 --> 00:27:35,667
THOMAS:
You think this will work?
599
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,970
Yeah, I think this will be
a good place to get started.
600
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,000
Well, heck. Let us get out
of your way. Right?
601
00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:41,933
You guys get it going.
I want to see it fly.
602
00:27:42,066 --> 00:27:43,566
Okay. I'm going to
power up the drone.
603
00:27:45,433 --> 00:27:46,573
Taking off.
604
00:27:51,367 --> 00:27:54,467
(drone buzzing)
605
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,830
Starting to route.
606
00:27:56,967 --> 00:27:58,797
TRAVIS:
Juniper's drone is equipped
607
00:27:58,934 --> 00:28:00,904
with a sophisticated
magnetometer device
608
00:28:01,033 --> 00:28:03,003
that will scan the entire area
609
00:28:03,133 --> 00:28:05,503
sensing for
any magnetic anomalies
610
00:28:05,633 --> 00:28:07,703
100 or more feet underground,
611
00:28:07,834 --> 00:28:10,334
so if there are tunnels
or structures there,
612
00:28:10,467 --> 00:28:12,797
we should get
a good indication of it.
613
00:28:14,433 --> 00:28:17,203
All right, I'm at altitude.
614
00:28:17,333 --> 00:28:19,173
Turning onto its first line.
615
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:21,200
THOMAS:
That's really cool.
616
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:23,803
CHRIS:
The magnetometer
is nice and stable.
617
00:28:23,934 --> 00:28:25,474
Of course,
I'm very excited to see
618
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,170
all the data
that we're collecting,
619
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,900
but I think
the magnetic survey really
620
00:28:30,033 --> 00:28:33,003
holds the greatest promise
for providing insights
621
00:28:33,133 --> 00:28:35,473
into some of the strange things
that have happened
622
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,570
out at the homesteads
and at the point of the mesa.
623
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,830
All right, so it's about
to turn and head towards us.
624
00:28:41,967 --> 00:28:44,497
TRAVIS:
We spent the better part
of the day running
625
00:28:44,633 --> 00:28:47,533
these magnetometry and LiDAR
surveys in the triangle area,
626
00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:50,167
Homestead Two,
and the eastern field.
627
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:52,530
So, hopefully,
once we process all the data,
628
00:28:52,667 --> 00:28:54,967
we'll have a much more
complete picture of what
629
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,370
could be going on both above
and below the property.
630
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:00,770
CHRIS:
The magnetometer
is nice and stable.
631
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:03,930
TRAVIS:
Then, we can talk to Brandon
and decide as a team
632
00:29:04,066 --> 00:29:06,426
how much harder
and deeper we are willing
633
00:29:06,567 --> 00:29:09,797
to poke this nest to get to
the bottom of Skinwalker Ranch.
634
00:29:09,934 --> 00:29:12,134
CHRIS:
Gear down.
635
00:29:16,934 --> 00:29:18,274
All right, guys.
Well, let's pack up,
636
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,130
-and let's get out of here.
-Sounds good.
637
00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:26,867
-ERIK: Hey, gentlemen.
-TRAVIS: Hey, Chris.
638
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,600
JEFF: Hey, guys.
Good to see you again.
639
00:29:28,734 --> 00:29:30,074
-How you doing?
-Howdy.
640
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,070
We're pretty excited
about, uh, the data
641
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,700
that, uh, we've been able
to produce for you all.
642
00:29:34,834 --> 00:29:37,104
TRAVIS:
Juniper compiled all this data
643
00:29:37,233 --> 00:29:39,033
of pretty much the entire ranch,
644
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:40,796
and we can't wait to see
645
00:29:40,934 --> 00:29:42,974
if there are
any anomalous readings
646
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,570
that they got under the ground
here on the ranch.
647
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:48,800
It would be better for us
to go to those locations
648
00:29:48,934 --> 00:29:52,704
that you gentlemen found
interesting in this survey.
649
00:29:54,567 --> 00:29:56,867
NICHOLAS:
Uh, what I'm showing here,
this is, uh,
650
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,770
our LiDAR point cloud
651
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,230
of the entire section
that we collected.
652
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:04,597
As the first area
that I'd like to point out,
653
00:30:04,734 --> 00:30:08,274
it is just southeast
of the helicopter pad.
654
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,970
Uh, there are a couple
of circles that show up
655
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:13,900
in the ground surface.
656
00:30:14,033 --> 00:30:15,773
As you're walking along,
you might not notice
657
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:17,770
the difference in the terrain.
658
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,770
TRAVIS:
There is clearly
a circle right here.
659
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:21,400
You can clearly see
the circle there.
660
00:30:21,533 --> 00:30:23,473
That is very interesting,
and, you know,
661
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,700
it's not far
from where the cow died.
662
00:30:25,834 --> 00:30:27,904
-No. It's right by that.
-TRAVIS: Yeah.
663
00:30:28,033 --> 00:30:30,573
I mean, it's within ten feet,
right? Or 20 feet, maybe.
664
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:32,900
NICHOLAS:
Looks like there is--
there is a depression
665
00:30:33,033 --> 00:30:35,373
-going all the way around it.
-TRAVIS: What is that?
666
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,130
Probably 50 feet across?
667
00:30:37,266 --> 00:30:39,366
I-I think they're about
ten to 20 feet across.
668
00:30:40,433 --> 00:30:43,433
It definitely does not look
like a natural feature to us
669
00:30:43,567 --> 00:30:45,767
-here at the office.
-ERIK: Yeah, I'm really anxious
670
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:48,700
to have a look
at the magnetometry results.
671
00:30:49,767 --> 00:30:52,927
NATHAN:
Here is the magnetic data
672
00:30:53,066 --> 00:30:54,666
of the whole property.
673
00:30:56,033 --> 00:30:57,933
And, as you'll see,
674
00:30:58,066 --> 00:31:00,966
we've got
some hot, bright colors
675
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:03,130
in the southeast,
and it moves off
676
00:31:03,266 --> 00:31:06,426
to greens and blues,
cooler colors, to the north.
677
00:31:06,567 --> 00:31:08,427
The cooler colors represent
678
00:31:08,567 --> 00:31:11,427
lower magnetic intensity
readings,
679
00:31:11,567 --> 00:31:14,627
and the warmer colors
are higher.
680
00:31:14,767 --> 00:31:18,197
If I move a little to the west
here, we have Homestead Two.
681
00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:19,833
TRAVIS:
Really?
682
00:31:19,967 --> 00:31:22,267
There's extreme
magnetic field anomaly
683
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,200
compared to the rest
of the background right there.
684
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:28,333
You know what? That's exactly
where we always have trouble
685
00:31:28,467 --> 00:31:30,427
-with the...
-With everything.
686
00:31:30,567 --> 00:31:32,367
Yeah, with everything.
Can you zoom in
687
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:33,770
a little bit closer right there?
688
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,770
I want to see exactly
where that is in the road.
689
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:39,500
I mean, it's clearly
a magnetic anomaly there.
690
00:31:39,633 --> 00:31:41,103
The really high
magnetic readings
691
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:43,003
at Homestead Two are incredible.
692
00:31:43,133 --> 00:31:45,603
We've had so much happen there
above ground this year
693
00:31:45,734 --> 00:31:47,004
with our portal investigations,
694
00:31:47,133 --> 00:31:49,533
but this scientific data
is telling us
695
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:51,967
there has to be
something below ground
696
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:54,430
like a void or
maybe even a structure.
697
00:31:54,567 --> 00:31:56,827
I really think we need
to convince Brandon to let us
698
00:31:56,967 --> 00:31:59,567
drill a hole there
and see what that is.
699
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:03,500
NATHAN:
We did a survey
over the triangle,
700
00:32:03,633 --> 00:32:04,873
a magnetic survey.
701
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:07,327
Here's the triangle.
702
00:32:07,467 --> 00:32:10,767
There's something
going on right here.
703
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:12,670
TRAVIS:
Could you stop right there
704
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,530
and-and go a little bit
more transparent
705
00:32:14,667 --> 00:32:17,327
with the magnetic data,
just a little bit?
706
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:19,097
Right there.
707
00:32:19,233 --> 00:32:22,203
What's really interesting
about the magnetic anomaly
708
00:32:22,333 --> 00:32:25,203
at the triangle is how it
looks like an elongated feature
709
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:27,733
or possibly two main objects
710
00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:30,097
with something
running between them.
711
00:32:30,233 --> 00:32:33,873
So from the lore about some
kind of base under the ranch,
712
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,430
to James Keenan's theory
about a tunnel,
713
00:32:36,567 --> 00:32:38,267
we really
need Brandon's blessing
714
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,200
to explore
deeper underground there.
715
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:42,103
Well, I'd say, uh,
716
00:32:42,233 --> 00:32:43,903
that's some interesting stuff,
and it gives us
717
00:32:44,033 --> 00:32:45,703
some things to dig deeper into
718
00:32:45,834 --> 00:32:48,604
and maybe even some spots to
go look at a little closer.
719
00:32:48,734 --> 00:32:51,734
This is really great.
It's a feature-rich report
720
00:32:51,867 --> 00:32:54,397
-that we're getting out of this.
-TRAVIS: Great.
Thank you very much, guys.
721
00:32:54,533 --> 00:32:56,203
-BRYANT: Yeah.
-Thank you very much.
-Appreciate it.
722
00:32:56,333 --> 00:32:58,203
ERIK:
So it's telling us
there's something going on
723
00:32:58,333 --> 00:33:00,273
in the ground,
724
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,330
particularly there
at the homestead area.
725
00:33:02,467 --> 00:33:04,427
So we're being led by the data
726
00:33:04,567 --> 00:33:06,427
to explore that
even more deeply.
727
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:09,167
A-And then, uh,
around the triangle,
728
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:10,970
th-the weird, oscillating,
729
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:12,770
uh, magnetic anomaly
is just weird.
730
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,470
Maybe we just
didn't dig deep enough
731
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,330
-to see if there's an opening.
-ERIK: Drill more, drill deeper.
732
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:20,167
-I agree with that.
-Given that,
733
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:21,570
I think we should call Brandon
734
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:23,800
-and talk to him about it.
-Yeah, let's do that.
735
00:33:23,934 --> 00:33:26,404
ERIK:
I'd like to know
what he thinks as well.
736
00:33:27,433 --> 00:33:29,673
The Sherman family has revealed
737
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,900
the actual location where
they were told not to dig.
738
00:33:33,033 --> 00:33:34,973
TRAVIS:
Erik, let's see where that is.
739
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,470
Is there a landmark
or a rock right there?
740
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,870
We need to maybe do
some careful excavation.
741
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,473
I see him now.
Yep. There's Dragon.
742
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:58,233
TRAVIS: After conducting
comprehensive magnetometry
743
00:33:58,367 --> 00:34:00,597
and LiDAR scans across the
ranch with the representatives
744
00:34:00,734 --> 00:34:01,934
from Juniper,
745
00:34:02,066 --> 00:34:03,566
we got the data back,
746
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:05,730
which revealed that
at each area of interest,
747
00:34:05,867 --> 00:34:09,067
the triangle, Homestead Two,
and in the eastern field,
748
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,570
there appear to be
anomalous features,
749
00:34:11,700 --> 00:34:14,700
or possibly structures
below the ranch.
750
00:34:15,767 --> 00:34:18,797
So we've asked Brandon
to fly in from Salt Lake City
751
00:34:18,934 --> 00:34:21,534
to meet with us
so we can explain why we
752
00:34:21,667 --> 00:34:24,097
now think it's necessary
to do some excavations
753
00:34:24,233 --> 00:34:26,633
and deeper drilling
than we've ever done before...
754
00:34:26,767 --> 00:34:29,097
-Hey, guys.
-TRAVIS: ...to find out
what could be causing
755
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:31,503
the bizarre phenomena
on his property.
756
00:34:32,533 --> 00:34:34,233
Hopefully, he'll agree.
757
00:34:34,367 --> 00:34:36,227
ERIK: We want to brief you
on some plans
758
00:34:36,367 --> 00:34:39,627
that we have for exploring
even beneath the ground.
759
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:41,727
-Wow.
-What I'd like to do is
760
00:34:41,867 --> 00:34:44,227
I'd like to bring it up
on the map and discuss
761
00:34:44,367 --> 00:34:46,527
the motivations,
discuss the data that we have.
762
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:48,067
Let's do it.
763
00:34:50,867 --> 00:34:52,967
ERIK:
I'd like to start with the area
764
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:55,600
where we saw the passing
of that cow last year.
765
00:34:55,734 --> 00:34:57,634
We did see some features
766
00:34:57,767 --> 00:34:59,627
in our LiDAR surveys,
767
00:34:59,767 --> 00:35:01,827
possibly something
beneath the ground
768
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:03,927
could-could account for some
of what's been reported.
769
00:35:04,066 --> 00:35:06,796
And we now know that cows
are avoiding that spot.
770
00:35:06,934 --> 00:35:09,104
So it's interesting.
771
00:35:10,133 --> 00:35:12,433
BRANDON:
I feel like there are
few areas on the ranch,
772
00:35:12,567 --> 00:35:16,267
let alone anywhere in the world,
where you can see
773
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,670
that type of activity.
774
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,700
-ERIK: It's a diversity
of activities.
-Yeah.
775
00:35:20,834 --> 00:35:22,704
-And our second spot here...
-Yeah.
776
00:35:22,834 --> 00:35:25,904
...you can tell is right by
the Homestead Two area.
777
00:35:26,967 --> 00:35:28,927
-We had a magnetometer...
-Mm-hmm.
778
00:35:29,066 --> 00:35:31,826
...uh, that would
measure the amplitude
779
00:35:31,967 --> 00:35:34,267
and specific direction
of the magnetic field,
780
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,130
and in that spot, it showed
781
00:35:37,266 --> 00:35:42,026
there's extreme magnetic field
anomaly right there.
782
00:35:42,166 --> 00:35:43,526
We definitely need
to investigate it further.
783
00:35:43,667 --> 00:35:46,267
This seems to be a very real...
784
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,270
area of interest.
Very real.
785
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,530
Let's just continue
across the property on our map.
786
00:35:52,667 --> 00:35:55,027
This triangle area
has a long history.
787
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:57,126
TRAVIS:
I mean, this is
right underneath where
788
00:35:57,266 --> 00:36:00,826
last year we lost the balloon
at 5,000 feet above the ranch.
789
00:36:02,133 --> 00:36:04,173
Three, two, one, let it launch.
790
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:06,900
Last year we launched
a weather balloon equipped
791
00:36:07,033 --> 00:36:08,733
with energy detectors
about a mile high
792
00:36:08,867 --> 00:36:11,497
above the triangle area
hoping to get some data.
793
00:36:11,633 --> 00:36:15,373
It's-it's not...
This is not updating.
794
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:17,370
MATT:
So somewhere the sensor
stopped working.
795
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:20,370
TRAVIS:
But the sensors suddenly
just stopped returning data,
796
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,270
and we never found the balloon.
797
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,700
We thought something up there
must have caused that,
798
00:36:24,834 --> 00:36:27,404
but could it be because
of this possible cavern
799
00:36:27,533 --> 00:36:30,603
or tunnel system we've now
detected deep underground?
800
00:36:30,734 --> 00:36:34,104
So what have you observed
most recently in this area
801
00:36:34,233 --> 00:36:36,233
that would cause you to...
802
00:36:36,367 --> 00:36:38,597
to believe that
we need to dig deeper?
803
00:36:38,734 --> 00:36:40,774
-Strange behavior
of the metal detectors...
-TRAVIS: Mm-hmm.
804
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:42,530
...in very specific locations.
805
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:46,027
We also have,
in the opinion of Zach Zyla,
806
00:36:46,166 --> 00:36:48,396
that in fact, yes, our soil is
807
00:36:48,533 --> 00:36:51,533
unusually highly conductive.
808
00:36:51,667 --> 00:36:53,667
Well, I think that's noteworthy.
809
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,330
There's something to it
that's important.
810
00:36:55,467 --> 00:36:56,767
We need to see
what's underground.
811
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:00,100
We've identified
multiple locations
812
00:37:00,233 --> 00:37:02,273
where we feel like
there will be a...
813
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,630
an in-sight payoff
if we do some drilling.
814
00:37:05,767 --> 00:37:07,467
What are you recommending?
815
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,670
We're not talking about poking
small holes in the ground.
816
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,230
Yeah, these-these might be
as much as 20 inches or so.
817
00:37:13,367 --> 00:37:15,297
-Wow.
-And we're going
to hope to get down
818
00:37:15,433 --> 00:37:18,903
beyond 50-foot deep,
maybe even to 100-foot deep,
819
00:37:19,033 --> 00:37:20,773
at least in a couple of spots.
820
00:37:23,567 --> 00:37:25,597
BRANDON:
The ranch is
a complicated place.
821
00:37:25,734 --> 00:37:28,004
There are great risks associated
822
00:37:28,133 --> 00:37:30,773
with any activity
on the property.
823
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,400
We're always concerned
about disturbing the earth
824
00:37:34,533 --> 00:37:37,673
because we've seen some very
disturbing things happen
825
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,270
as we have disturbed
the earth in the past.
826
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,570
Most notably,
Thomas Winterton's incident,
827
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:45,100
but also others.
828
00:37:45,233 --> 00:37:48,973
This triangle area
has unexpected similarities
829
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,330
-to the Homestead Two area.
-Yeah.
830
00:37:51,467 --> 00:37:53,797
Well, I have some
interesting news to share.
831
00:37:53,934 --> 00:37:56,974
You know, I recently conferenced
with Ryan Skinner,
832
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,830
who has-has really
gained the confidence
833
00:37:59,967 --> 00:38:02,067
of the Sherman family.
834
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,330
Specifically, Gwen Sherman.
835
00:38:04,467 --> 00:38:07,067
And Gwen revealed
836
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,900
that there is an actual location
837
00:38:10,033 --> 00:38:14,073
of the area on the ranch where
the Shermans said not to dig.
838
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,100
♪ ♪
839
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,600
BRANDON:
There is an actual location
840
00:38:29,734 --> 00:38:32,104
of the area on the ranch
where the Shermans said
841
00:38:32,233 --> 00:38:33,733
not to dig.
842
00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:37,570
TRAVIS: I was stunned
when Brandon told us
843
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,900
how he had just gotten ahold
of new information
844
00:38:40,033 --> 00:38:42,573
about the Sherman family
and another location
845
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,800
where something strange
could be buried underground
846
00:38:44,934 --> 00:38:46,434
on Skinwalker Ranch.
847
00:38:46,567 --> 00:38:48,567
I'd like to share
with you the coordinates.
848
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:51,430
40 degrees.
849
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:52,627
15 minutes.
850
00:38:52,767 --> 00:38:56,997
23.0652 seconds north.
851
00:38:58,934 --> 00:39:01,674
Erik, let's see
where exactly that is.
852
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,330
ERIK:
Uh...
853
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:05,697
BRANDON:
Is there a landmark
or a rock right there?
854
00:39:05,834 --> 00:39:08,104
-CAMERON: There's something
right on that point.
-BRANDON: Look at that.
855
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:15,273
TRAVIS:
It's really interesting to me
856
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,370
that when Erik types in
857
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,500
the coordinates
and he puts the pin in,
858
00:39:19,633 --> 00:39:21,203
it shows up right
in the middle of this rock.
859
00:39:21,333 --> 00:39:23,833
That is really
an intriguing thing.
860
00:39:23,967 --> 00:39:26,167
Obviously,
we need to go look at the rock.
861
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:28,530
We need to walk around it
and survey it, and then we need
862
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:32,527
to maybe do some,
uh, careful excavation.
863
00:39:36,633 --> 00:39:39,033
TRAVIS:
This spot is very near
Homestead Two,
864
00:39:39,166 --> 00:39:41,666
and between Homestead Two
and the triangle,
865
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,770
so could there be
some kind of connection
866
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:46,200
between these three points
that might reveal something
867
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:48,473
if we can just get
deep underground?
868
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,530
Dragon, do you feel comfortable?
869
00:39:55,734 --> 00:39:58,504
After doing
everything that we can
870
00:39:58,633 --> 00:40:00,933
in a noninvasive way,
871
00:40:01,066 --> 00:40:04,296
well, in talking
with these guys and seeing
872
00:40:04,433 --> 00:40:06,333
where the investigation is,
873
00:40:06,467 --> 00:40:08,927
it's gotten to the point where,
874
00:40:09,066 --> 00:40:10,926
you know,
we kind of need to really
875
00:40:11,066 --> 00:40:13,626
start exploring
under the ground here.
876
00:40:21,433 --> 00:40:24,333
If you're prepared to
take on that responsibility,
877
00:40:24,467 --> 00:40:27,267
then I'd like
to proceed aggressively,
878
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,900
especially
while the weather permits.
879
00:40:30,734 --> 00:40:33,004
One thing that we have learned
over the course
880
00:40:33,133 --> 00:40:36,773
of the last few years,
is that strange activity
881
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,270
has been reported
on this property
882
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,300
going back at least
to the early 1900s.
883
00:40:42,433 --> 00:40:45,103
Maybe even hundreds
to thousands of years.
884
00:40:45,233 --> 00:40:46,503
BRANDON:
Exactly.
885
00:40:46,633 --> 00:40:48,773
And I believe
the search for the truth
886
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:52,930
trumps any previous effort
to try to cloak
887
00:40:53,066 --> 00:40:57,296
or-or really, I think, keep
a lot of these events secret.
888
00:40:57,433 --> 00:41:00,903
And even though there has been
warning given in the past,
889
00:41:01,033 --> 00:41:03,003
I feel like
we have an imperative
890
00:41:03,133 --> 00:41:06,233
to dig both
literally and figuratively
891
00:41:06,367 --> 00:41:10,127
to get to the bottom of what
is at work at Skinwalker Ranch.
892
00:41:13,033 --> 00:41:15,703
We're going to find
some answers to something
893
00:41:15,834 --> 00:41:18,604
that has baffled people
for eons, maybe.
894
00:41:18,734 --> 00:41:21,934
I-I'm comfortable
with executing immediately
895
00:41:22,066 --> 00:41:25,496
and taking a very aggressive
approach on this property.
896
00:41:25,633 --> 00:41:27,733
I guess we've got
marching orders.
897
00:41:27,867 --> 00:41:30,497
And we'll keep you updated and
posted on everything as well.
898
00:41:30,633 --> 00:41:32,933
-Okay, well, with that...
-Let me walk you guys out.
899
00:41:33,066 --> 00:41:34,996
...let's head out.
900
00:41:35,133 --> 00:41:38,503
BRYANT:
There's no question
that it's a distinct possibility
901
00:41:38,633 --> 00:41:41,703
that some of the phenomenon
that are taking place
902
00:41:41,834 --> 00:41:43,404
on Skinwalker Ranch
is associated
903
00:41:43,533 --> 00:41:45,533
with something
beneath the ranch.
904
00:41:45,667 --> 00:41:48,167
I know that I have given
a lot of pushback
905
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:50,370
about disturbing the earth
906
00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:52,670
and digging
and things of that nature,
907
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,870
but I realize that,
for the investigation,
908
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,330
it's probably
a necessary exercise.
909
00:41:58,467 --> 00:42:01,427
THOMAS:
The only way we're going
to get answers is to dig.
910
00:42:01,567 --> 00:42:03,997
I'm not scared to dig,
but I am cautious.
911
00:42:04,133 --> 00:42:07,173
There's a superstitious
side of me
912
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:09,730
that still believes that there's
something that takes place
913
00:42:09,867 --> 00:42:11,427
when you dig on this ranch.
914
00:42:11,567 --> 00:42:13,327
ERIK:
People have said for a long time
915
00:42:13,467 --> 00:42:15,297
that when you start digging
on the ranch,
916
00:42:15,433 --> 00:42:17,073
it stirs up activity.
917
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,070
We're no longer
in our comfort zone.
918
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,570
And we're dealing
with the ranch in a way
919
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:24,070
that may never have
been attempted before.
920
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,800
BRANDON:
This is a key moment
921
00:42:26,934 --> 00:42:30,134
where we're about to embark
on the next frontier.
922
00:42:30,266 --> 00:42:31,926
We all take a deep breath,
923
00:42:32,066 --> 00:42:36,496
and we all carefully consider
not only the risks,
924
00:42:36,633 --> 00:42:40,103
but also the gravity
of what lies ahead
925
00:42:40,233 --> 00:42:43,573
and what we may yet reveal
at Skinwalker Ranch.
926
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,130
THOMAS:
We're going to dig at
this site where the cow died.
927
00:42:51,266 --> 00:42:53,726
That is magnetic right there.
That is crazy.
928
00:42:53,867 --> 00:42:56,767
ERIK:
We're going to poke three holes
out of the triangle.
929
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,500
Hey, guys. This thing's hopping
all over the place.
930
00:42:59,633 --> 00:43:01,873
Magnetic north has been shifted.
931
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,700
It's pointing toward
where they're drilling.
932
00:43:03,834 --> 00:43:05,174
The drill's having
some kind of effect
933
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:07,170
on the magnetic field
at the ranch.
934
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:09,970
The Shermans said not to dig
935
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:11,200
right in the middle
of that rock.
936
00:43:11,333 --> 00:43:12,733
Oh, crap. Look at that.
937
00:43:12,867 --> 00:43:14,127
THOMAS:
What is that?
938
00:43:14,266 --> 00:43:17,326
