Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,917 --> 00:00:03,875
All right, Thomas,
I say we light this thing.
2
00:00:04,042 --> 00:00:05,500
There it goes.
3
00:00:05,667 --> 00:00:08,250
Our goal is to build
some large fires at the triangle
4
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:12,292
and fill this bubble
with a lot of smoke,
5
00:00:12,458 --> 00:00:14,333
map it and watch what it does.
6
00:00:14,458 --> 00:00:16,208
In the FLIR we're picking up
these dark zones.
7
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:18,583
These cold vortexes in the heat.
8
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:20,250
That doesn't make any sense.
9
00:00:22,167 --> 00:00:23,500
It stopped.
10
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:25,000
It's floating
right over the triangle.
11
00:00:25,167 --> 00:00:26,917
It's not coming down.
12
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:31,583
Once again returns
going well up into the sky.
13
00:00:31,708 --> 00:00:33,375
-Is that
the edge of the bubble?
-Yes.
14
00:00:33,542 --> 00:00:35,375
Wow.
15
00:00:35,542 --> 00:00:37,833
We are really close
to punching out
16
00:00:38,042 --> 00:00:39,375
through the top up here.
17
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,000
The drill bit
is through the top.
18
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:43,667
We'll get to opening
this hole for you.
19
00:00:43,875 --> 00:00:45,542
I'm excited.
20
00:00:46,375 --> 00:00:50,000
There is a ranch
in northern Utah.
21
00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:52,625
It is considered the epicenter
22
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:57,667
of the strangest and most
disturbing occurrences on Earth.
23
00:00:57,792 --> 00:00:59,042
For two decades,
24
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,000
the federal government
25
00:01:01,167 --> 00:01:03,000
investigated the property.
26
00:01:03,167 --> 00:01:06,792
Their findings
have never been made public.
27
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:07,958
Right there! We got something!
28
00:01:08,083 --> 00:01:10,083
Now a new team
29
00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:12,750
of independent scientists
and researchers
30
00:01:12,917 --> 00:01:14,625
are taking over.
31
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:15,917
They are uncovering evidence
32
00:01:16,125 --> 00:01:17,917
that the countless stories...
33
00:01:18,125 --> 00:01:19,917
It came right out of the mesa.
34
00:01:20,125 --> 00:01:22,333
...of unidentified
aerial phenomena...
35
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:23,875
- UAP right there!
-Yep.
36
00:01:24,042 --> 00:01:25,542
...bizarre energies...
37
00:01:25,708 --> 00:01:27,375
It looks like there's
a heat source right above 'em.
38
00:01:27,542 --> 00:01:30,375
...and portals that lead
to other dimensions...
39
00:01:30,542 --> 00:01:31,583
We're maybe looking
at the anomaly
40
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,000
for the first time, guys.
41
00:01:33,167 --> 00:01:35,625
...might actually be true.
42
00:01:35,792 --> 00:01:38,458
They will stop at nothing
to reveal...
43
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:44,750
...The Secret
of Skinwalker Ranch.
44
00:01:49,625 --> 00:01:51,583
I don't even think
it's moving that fast.
45
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,542
-We're crawling
at inches.
-Yeah.
46
00:02:00,042 --> 00:02:01,333
Have you seen any kind
of, uh, hint
47
00:02:01,458 --> 00:02:03,417
that it might speed up,
or is--
48
00:02:03,583 --> 00:02:05,667
I mean, are we looking at
this pace for a while?
49
00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:07,250
There's honestly no telling.
50
00:02:08,375 --> 00:02:10,417
Why don't you, uh,
shut him down for now
51
00:02:10,583 --> 00:02:13,667
- and let's get with the guys.
- Okay.
52
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:15,208
Okay, hold that right there.
53
00:02:18,375 --> 00:02:20,000
Hey, guys, you copy?
54
00:02:20,125 --> 00:02:22,375
Oh, there's Thomas.
55
00:02:24,167 --> 00:02:26,292
Yeah, Thomas. What's up?
56
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:29,333
I need you guys to
come up here and meet us.
57
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,000
Uh, we need to have a discussion
about the progress
58
00:02:32,167 --> 00:02:33,000
on this drilling.
59
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:34,333
Are you kidding?
60
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:37,875
That sounds ominous.
We'll be right over.
61
00:02:39,458 --> 00:02:42,333
Nothing in our investigation
on Skinwalker Ranch
62
00:02:42,542 --> 00:02:44,208
has gone the way we expected.
63
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:47,167
Especially the bizarre
struggles we keep having
64
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:49,291
to complete the first
of two boreholes
65
00:02:49,292 --> 00:02:51,042
that we've drilled
up through the mesa.
66
00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:52,833
What's the news?
67
00:02:53,042 --> 00:02:55,000
Heard the drill rig shut off.
68
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:58,750
Yeah. So, these guys
are making progress,
69
00:02:58,917 --> 00:03:01,375
but, uh, it's inches an hour.
70
00:03:01,542 --> 00:03:05,500
And there's no telling if it's
gonna soften up or free up.
71
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:07,167
What do you reckon
could be doing that?
72
00:03:07,375 --> 00:03:08,500
It's like there's
some kind of phenomena
73
00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:10,583
or something inside
the mesa here
74
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:12,500
that's harder than anywhere else
you've ever drilled.
75
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,542
Yeah.
76
00:03:14,708 --> 00:03:17,375
Last year, we drilled
a 600-foot borehole
77
00:03:17,542 --> 00:03:20,417
just east of where
a ground-penetrating radar scan
78
00:03:20,583 --> 00:03:23,333
detected a huge object
and several other anomalies
79
00:03:23,458 --> 00:03:25,458
buried inside the mesa.
80
00:03:26,417 --> 00:03:28,750
A few days ago,
we started widening the borehole
81
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:32,333
by pulling an 11-and-a-half
inch diameter reaming bit
82
00:03:32,458 --> 00:03:34,458
back down through it
from the top.
83
00:03:34,625 --> 00:03:37,292
But then, something inside there
was preventing
84
00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:39,500
the reaming bit
from making much progress.
85
00:03:39,708 --> 00:03:42,083
So we decided to try
a slightly smaller reaming bit
86
00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:44,833
to see if that would
be able to get the job done.
87
00:03:45,042 --> 00:03:49,000
Ultimately, we want to drill
two identical boreholes
88
00:03:49,125 --> 00:03:51,750
on either side
of these buried objects
89
00:03:51,875 --> 00:03:55,000
and then case the inside
of them with a gel-like cement.
90
00:03:55,167 --> 00:03:58,583
That will allow us to insert
specialized scanning devices
91
00:03:58,708 --> 00:04:01,375
to better study
and hopefully identify
92
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:03,250
just what these objects
could be.
93
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:05,958
What we're seeing is we're
gonna have to make a choice.
94
00:04:06,125 --> 00:04:09,333
We either continue with
that ten-inch or 11-inch hole
95
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:12,167
to the bottom,
and that's what we get,
96
00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:16,250
or we go another route
and get a second hole.
97
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:18,083
Well, let me
put something out there.
98
00:04:18,208 --> 00:04:20,417
You know, everything we've been
told about the instrumentation
99
00:04:20,583 --> 00:04:22,875
says that what
we've got right now
100
00:04:23,042 --> 00:04:24,417
is perfectly adequate
101
00:04:24,625 --> 00:04:25,958
for doing the science
we want to do out here.
102
00:04:26,083 --> 00:04:27,125
What do you think?
103
00:04:27,292 --> 00:04:29,542
Yeah so, I-I agree, Erik.
Uh, I--
104
00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:31,292
We don't really have any
instruments that are bigger
105
00:04:31,417 --> 00:04:33,958
than, uh, you know,
an eight-inch hole, right?
106
00:04:34,125 --> 00:04:35,917
- We could get everything
through there we want to.
-Mm-hmm.
107
00:04:36,083 --> 00:04:38,542
And so maybe just trying to
get that extra couple of inches
108
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:41,292
is just wasting time
that we could be using,
109
00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:42,625
uh, to do something else.
110
00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:44,542
G-Get a second hole
in there, right?
111
00:04:44,667 --> 00:04:48,417
And this casing is gonna make
the outside layer hard,
112
00:04:48,542 --> 00:04:50,833
so hopefully
we won't have any collapses?
113
00:04:51,042 --> 00:04:52,500
- Yeah, it should harden.
- A clear hole all the way
from the top to the bottom?
114
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:53,542
Yep.
115
00:04:53,708 --> 00:04:55,000
Well, that's great.
116
00:04:55,208 --> 00:04:56,958
Erik and I both
would really like to get
117
00:04:57,083 --> 00:05:00,042
some scientific, uh, analysis
118
00:05:00,208 --> 00:05:03,292
from instruments inside
these holes that we're drilling.
119
00:05:03,458 --> 00:05:05,458
So, we've got
a hole drilled, right?
120
00:05:05,667 --> 00:05:07,042
I say we quit trying
to make it bigger.
121
00:05:07,208 --> 00:05:08,417
Yeah.
122
00:05:08,625 --> 00:05:10,000
So, can we just case
what we've got,
123
00:05:10,208 --> 00:05:11,957
- stabilize it and call it good?
-Yep.
124
00:05:11,958 --> 00:05:13,625
I mean, it's gonna take a little
time
125
00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:15,667
- to case that
all the way down, right?
- Yeah.
126
00:05:15,833 --> 00:05:17,417
Um, it'll definitely move
a lot quicker, though.
127
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:19,875
So, I'm guessing
maybe a day or two.
128
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:24,708
The size of that borehole,
it's not at all ideal.
129
00:05:24,875 --> 00:05:28,333
However, we can just
stabilize the hole as it is
130
00:05:28,542 --> 00:05:31,750
and use the channel that we've
already cut into the mesa
131
00:05:31,958 --> 00:05:34,833
to insert all kinds
of instrumentation
132
00:05:34,958 --> 00:05:37,917
to study whatever
this anomaly actually is.
133
00:05:38,083 --> 00:05:40,083
You've got us
a workable size hole
134
00:05:40,208 --> 00:05:41,833
that you'll be able to get
instruments in and out of,
135
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,166
so I call that a huge success.
136
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,375
- Yeah.
- Yeah, absolutely.
137
00:05:45,542 --> 00:05:47,792
All right, man. Good stuff.
138
00:05:55,583 --> 00:05:57,583
Hi, Ben. Hi, Brandon.
139
00:05:57,750 --> 00:05:59,458
- Hello.
- Greetings, gentlemen.
140
00:05:59,625 --> 00:06:01,708
It is so good to be with you.
141
00:06:01,875 --> 00:06:04,417
While the drilling operation
continued at the mesa,
142
00:06:04,542 --> 00:06:06,000
we went back
to the command center
143
00:06:06,208 --> 00:06:07,792
for a video conference
with ranch owner
144
00:06:07,958 --> 00:06:11,042
Brandon Fugal
and biologist Ben Woodruff.
145
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:16,375
In the wake of the discovery
of the wolf-like creature
146
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:18,375
in the Dry Gulch Creek,
147
00:06:18,542 --> 00:06:22,583
I actually engaged
Colossal Biosciences,
148
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:25,958
which is the leading genetics
and life sciences company
149
00:06:26,083 --> 00:06:27,417
on the planet right now
150
00:06:27,583 --> 00:06:29,833
for studying
this type of material.
151
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,042
And we got back
152
00:06:31,208 --> 00:06:35,250
some really interesting
DNA data.
153
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:37,000
I'm on the edge of my seat here.
154
00:06:38,125 --> 00:06:39,583
Whoa, what is that?
155
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:41,542
-What is that?
-One year ago,
156
00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:43,542
we found the decayed carcass
of a wolf-like creature
157
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:47,917
that had a freakishly
large jawbone and teeth.
158
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:51,499
So, given the legends
about wolf-like creatures
159
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:54,458
that Skinwalker Ranch
is actually named after,
160
00:06:54,583 --> 00:06:56,583
Erik asked
biologist Ben Woodruff
161
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:58,500
to examine the jawbone.
162
00:06:58,667 --> 00:07:02,333
And, believe it or not,
the closest match he could find
163
00:07:02,458 --> 00:07:05,708
was a juvenile dire wolf,
164
00:07:05,875 --> 00:07:08,667
a predatory animal
that supposedly went extinct
165
00:07:08,833 --> 00:07:10,917
more than 10,000 years ago.
166
00:07:11,042 --> 00:07:13,333
Ben, I'm gonna
turn it over to you,
167
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:14,999
since you've been
reviewing the analysis
168
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,250
provided by Colossal
169
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:18,458
and can provide greater context
170
00:07:18,625 --> 00:07:22,500
to why this is truly,
I think, earth-shattering.
171
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:26,750
Certainly. We knew this animal
was some species of canine,
172
00:07:26,917 --> 00:07:30,375
and so what we did is
we had Colossal test this DNA
173
00:07:30,542 --> 00:07:33,792
against the DNA
of other species of canines,
174
00:07:33,958 --> 00:07:37,667
like wolves and coyotes
and foxes and domestic dogs.
175
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,500
Looking over this pie chart
176
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:42,875
that has all the genetic results
from Colossal,
177
00:07:43,042 --> 00:07:47,000
it shows that 11%
of this species
178
00:07:47,125 --> 00:07:50,500
is Canis lupus,
the modern-day gray wolf.
179
00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,917
But it matches specifically
with the Eurasian gray wolf
180
00:07:54,083 --> 00:07:55,875
and a Greenland gray wolf.
181
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:59,208
These are modern species,
but the strange thing is,
182
00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:01,167
they're species
that don't cross over
183
00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:02,917
in their range with each other,
184
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,417
and they're not found
here in the United States.
185
00:08:05,542 --> 00:08:07,792
- Interesting.
-But that's only 11%.
186
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:11,500
The other 89% is a mystery.
187
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:14,333
It is some sort of wolf,
188
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:18,167
but a wolf we that do not have
any genetic record of anywhere.
189
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:21,417
So, if this is showing
that 89% of this
190
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:25,208
is unknown material,
that's really exciting.
191
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:26,625
It means it's
a nine out of ten chance
192
00:08:26,833 --> 00:08:29,917
that it's not a standard
gray wolf, right?
193
00:08:30,083 --> 00:08:30,958
Correct.
194
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:36,167
This wolf creature kind
of rewrites the history books.
195
00:08:36,292 --> 00:08:37,417
Whatever this animal is,
196
00:08:37,625 --> 00:08:39,792
it's either a new species,
197
00:08:39,958 --> 00:08:42,208
or it's an old species
that we did not know
198
00:08:42,375 --> 00:08:44,167
was running around this region.
199
00:08:45,375 --> 00:08:47,208
The Utah Division
of Wildlife Resources
200
00:08:47,375 --> 00:08:50,667
claims that there are no wolves
or wolf packs in Utah.
201
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:54,457
So, there should be no wolves
on the ranch at all.
202
00:08:54,458 --> 00:08:56,417
At the end of the day,
203
00:08:56,583 --> 00:08:58,250
there's a lot of mystery
about the DNA results
204
00:08:58,417 --> 00:08:59,667
from this sample.
205
00:08:59,833 --> 00:09:01,667
And because
this is inconclusive,
206
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,250
we have to give extra weight
207
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:05,333
to the physical evidence
we collected
208
00:09:05,458 --> 00:09:07,333
and what the evidence shows us
209
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,000
is that the jaw
and the teeth in the jaw
210
00:09:10,167 --> 00:09:13,875
perfectly match
those of a juvenile dire wolf.
211
00:09:15,458 --> 00:09:17,167
Well, I-I think this has been
212
00:09:17,375 --> 00:09:18,667
a fascinating discussion,
you know?
213
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:19,583
The, I--
214
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:21,500
No, it's not exactly conclusive,
215
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:23,333
but boy, do we have
a lot to go on.
216
00:09:23,542 --> 00:09:25,375
I'd like to get more cameras
in the south field
217
00:09:25,542 --> 00:09:28,750
and-and other areas of the ranch
where we've been doing our work.
218
00:09:29,875 --> 00:09:32,500
Ben, I really want to
get you back out to the ranch
219
00:09:32,667 --> 00:09:34,500
and talk about the ways
to follow up on this.
220
00:09:34,625 --> 00:09:36,292
Yeah, I'd love to.
221
00:09:36,458 --> 00:09:39,500
Look, you know, this is where
that history meets evidence.
222
00:09:39,625 --> 00:09:41,292
And so,
let's go get the evidence.
223
00:09:41,458 --> 00:09:42,958
You know,
we'll be in touch soon.
224
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:44,083
Sounds good.
225
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:50,083
Kaleb,
nice to see you again.
226
00:09:50,250 --> 00:09:51,500
You too.
227
00:09:51,667 --> 00:09:53,292
I'm excited to see
what you brought us
228
00:09:53,458 --> 00:09:54,875
and maybe help the process.
229
00:09:55,042 --> 00:09:56,667
Yeah, I've got some new stuff,
happy to try it out.
230
00:09:56,833 --> 00:09:58,833
We'll get an idea
of what's lurking around here.
231
00:09:58,958 --> 00:09:59,958
- Hey, all right.
- That's what we're looking for.
232
00:10:00,083 --> 00:10:01,167
Fantastic.
233
00:10:01,333 --> 00:10:02,250
Well, I'm excited
to get out there, let's--
234
00:10:02,417 --> 00:10:03,500
Yeah, let's do it.
235
00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:05,000
The next day,
236
00:10:05,167 --> 00:10:06,708
while the drilling team
was working on casing
237
00:10:06,875 --> 00:10:09,666
the inside of borehole one
in the mesa,
238
00:10:09,667 --> 00:10:11,500
Kaleb met with Ben Woodruff,
239
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:14,083
along with Rich Howell
from Trailcampro
240
00:10:14,292 --> 00:10:17,167
to install the new game cameras
in the south field
241
00:10:17,375 --> 00:10:19,042
and other areas of the ranch.
242
00:10:20,083 --> 00:10:21,750
So what's the first place
we're going to?
243
00:10:21,958 --> 00:10:23,667
To the south side of the ranch.
244
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:25,833
One of the interesting things
that we've found out here
245
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:28,417
was the carcass
of the wolf last year.
246
00:10:28,583 --> 00:10:31,667
After that incredible
DNA report on the wolf creature
247
00:10:31,875 --> 00:10:34,332
that we found,
Erik wanted to start collecting
248
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:35,792
more possible video evidence
249
00:10:35,917 --> 00:10:37,500
that might help us identify
250
00:10:37,708 --> 00:10:38,999
any more strange animals
251
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,208
that could be roaming
around the property.
252
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:45,417
Gonna show you where we found,
uh, this carcass down here.
253
00:10:45,625 --> 00:10:47,917
Snagged up on this tree
just right here.
254
00:10:48,042 --> 00:10:51,000
- Hmm. I think we can cover
this whole area with one camera.
-Yeah?
255
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:52,417
Well, that's great.
256
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:54,792
I think we could
hammer one in right here.
257
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:56,333
Yeah, I-I think
it's a great spot.
258
00:10:56,458 --> 00:10:57,708
- Let's get to work.
-Yeah.
259
00:10:59,167 --> 00:11:00,624
Dry Gulch Creek
is another location
260
00:11:00,625 --> 00:11:02,042
we're trying
to focus on this year
261
00:11:02,208 --> 00:11:05,833
where we not only
found remains of a wolf
262
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:08,542
that possibly
has dire wolf DNA in it,
263
00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:12,667
but we've also caught
some other phenomena.
264
00:11:12,833 --> 00:11:15,167
Last year during one
of our large experiments,
265
00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:18,417
we saw a light actually
moving through the river.
266
00:11:18,542 --> 00:11:20,208
So we're really hopeful
267
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:22,667
were gonna catch
some interesting things.
268
00:11:22,792 --> 00:11:24,583
It is set and on
and ready to go.
269
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,125
Awesome.
270
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:28,625
These game cameras
serve a dual purpose--
271
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:30,500
they're a major asset
to security
272
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:32,375
and also to
the scientific investigation
273
00:11:32,542 --> 00:11:34,583
here on Skinwalker Ranch.
274
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:36,292
I am excited to see
what they're gonna catch.
275
00:11:37,542 --> 00:11:39,042
-We are set.
- That's great.
276
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:40,542
Awesome.
277
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:41,792
Yeah, I'm excited
that we've got this asset
278
00:11:41,917 --> 00:11:43,625
looking at this area right here.
279
00:11:43,792 --> 00:11:45,042
Well, this is gonna
give enough range, too.
280
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:46,667
You're gonna be able
to see not only
281
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:48,292
what could be here,
but how the animals behave.
282
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:50,958
- How the ranch
makes them interact.
- Yeah.
283
00:11:51,125 --> 00:11:52,708
You're covering
a huge swath of ground.
284
00:11:52,875 --> 00:11:54,167
Mm-hmm, no, I think
it's gonna be a huge help
285
00:11:54,292 --> 00:11:56,333
- for the investigation
this year.
- Yeah.
286
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:58,958
Who knows what we'll pick up?
287
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:04,500
-Oh, hey, fellas.
-Welcome back, guys.
288
00:12:04,708 --> 00:12:05,957
- Good to see you.
-How y'all doing, man?
289
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:08,042
- How you doing, boy?
- Good to see you, man.
290
00:12:08,208 --> 00:12:10,333
While we were waiting
for the casing of borehole one
291
00:12:10,542 --> 00:12:11,750
to get done in the mesa,
292
00:12:11,917 --> 00:12:14,333
we welcomed back the guys
from LOC Precision
293
00:12:14,542 --> 00:12:17,792
to help us conduct our most
advanced rocket experiment yet:
294
00:12:17,958 --> 00:12:20,500
to figure out
one of the craziest anomalies
295
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:22,833
we've ever encountered
on Skinwalker Ranch.
296
00:12:22,958 --> 00:12:25,500
You know, we've been
following up on
297
00:12:25,667 --> 00:12:27,583
what appears from
our view through lidar
298
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:31,083
- to be an invisible bubble
- Yep.
299
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:35,292
that is about 600 meters
in, uh, radius,
300
00:12:35,417 --> 00:12:37,250
centered on the triangle here.
301
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:41,333
Based on numerous
infrared lidar scans,
302
00:12:41,542 --> 00:12:43,875
a gigantic sphere
that we call the bubble
303
00:12:44,042 --> 00:12:47,958
sits above and below ground,
and it covers a huge area,
304
00:12:48,083 --> 00:12:50,000
including the mesa drill site,
305
00:12:50,167 --> 00:12:51,250
the east field
306
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:52,875
and even Dry Gulch Creek.
307
00:12:53,042 --> 00:12:55,333
Basically,
where we've documented
308
00:12:55,542 --> 00:12:56,917
all kinds of phenomena.
309
00:12:57,083 --> 00:12:59,500
From UAPs to strange animals,
310
00:12:59,708 --> 00:13:02,167
and even possible
communication signals
311
00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:05,750
around the radio frequency
1.6 gigahertz.
312
00:13:05,917 --> 00:13:07,875
We show directly
over the triangle,
313
00:13:08,083 --> 00:13:11,083
exactly 1,000 feet
above ground level.
314
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:12,333
Look what just happened there.
315
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:14,542
You see those red points?
316
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:17,667
Another weird thing about
the center of this bubble,
317
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:19,292
which is right at the triangle,
318
00:13:19,417 --> 00:13:22,875
is that Erik has been
unable to obtain GPS data
319
00:13:23,042 --> 00:13:25,957
at various altitudes,
all the way up to its barrier
320
00:13:25,958 --> 00:13:28,750
at about 2,000 feet in the air.
321
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:30,667
It's like something
that we can't see
322
00:13:30,875 --> 00:13:32,875
exists all through that zone
323
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,208
and displaces
or swallows the data.
324
00:13:35,375 --> 00:13:38,500
So, today, we're gonna use
high-powered rockets,
325
00:13:38,667 --> 00:13:40,667
equipped
with specialized devices,
326
00:13:40,833 --> 00:13:43,208
to see if we can collect
some accurate data
327
00:13:43,417 --> 00:13:45,125
up in that space.
328
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:48,333
So, guys, tell us about
everything you've brought out.
329
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:49,708
What new tech?
330
00:13:49,875 --> 00:13:51,708
Yeah, so, we've got Kate,
that we'll be putting
331
00:13:51,875 --> 00:13:53,792
on board some
of the larger diameter rockets,
332
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:57,583
um, and that's real-time data,
GPS readings.
333
00:13:57,750 --> 00:14:00,917
With the smaller rockets,
we can get around 1,000 feet,
334
00:14:01,042 --> 00:14:03,708
and then the larger unit
with the advanced tracking,
335
00:14:03,917 --> 00:14:06,875
- we can probably
get that around 5K.
- Okay.
336
00:14:07,042 --> 00:14:08,375
All right, uh, I think
we need to get to work.
337
00:14:08,583 --> 00:14:10,000
-Let's do it. Love it.
-Let's do it.
338
00:14:10,167 --> 00:14:11,833
Okay. Yeah, let's hook her up.
339
00:14:12,042 --> 00:14:13,999
-We're in good shape.
-You got it?
340
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,667
First, we're going to launch
a smaller rocket
341
00:14:15,833 --> 00:14:19,333
up to 1,000 feet,
where it will deploy chalk.
342
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,083
We're hoping this will help us
further identify
343
00:14:22,292 --> 00:14:24,667
anything strange
inside of the bubble
344
00:14:24,875 --> 00:14:26,750
that can't be seen
with the naked eye.
345
00:14:26,917 --> 00:14:30,250
- This is gonna be
the big one with Kate.
- Okay.
346
00:14:30,375 --> 00:14:32,333
Then we'll launch the larger,
high-powered rockets
347
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,125
up to 5,000 feet.
348
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:38,375
Now, these will be equipped with
a specialized tracking system
349
00:14:38,542 --> 00:14:41,125
known as Kate
that the guys from LOC brought.
350
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:43,458
Here's your Kate receiver.
351
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:47,333
These rockets will obtain GPS,
speed and altitude data
352
00:14:47,542 --> 00:14:50,042
all the way up through
the center of the bubble
353
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:52,792
and beyond
to probe the space above it.
354
00:14:52,917 --> 00:14:54,667
We want to collect
and compare data
355
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:57,000
inside and outside of the bubble
356
00:14:57,208 --> 00:15:00,167
to see if we get
different or similar results.
357
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:03,042
And if there are strange things
up there that we can't see,
358
00:15:03,208 --> 00:15:05,958
hopefully the rockets
will make contact with them
359
00:15:06,125 --> 00:15:07,792
and help us figure out
what they really are.
360
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:09,833
You got the RTK up and running?
361
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:11,958
Yeah, you want to fire it up?
362
00:15:12,125 --> 00:15:14,542
Meanwhile,
Jim Royston and Pete Kelsey
363
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:16,250
will be flying their thermal
and lidar drones
364
00:15:16,375 --> 00:15:18,958
back and forth
through the bubble
365
00:15:19,125 --> 00:15:20,792
to look for any anomalies
366
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
that might also
be invisible to the naked eye
367
00:15:23,167 --> 00:15:26,042
that occurred
during these rocket launches.
368
00:15:26,208 --> 00:15:29,083
Yeah, make them as flat
as you can. Thank you.
369
00:15:29,208 --> 00:15:31,083
And while I monitor
my spectrum analyzer
370
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:35,000
out in the field for any
strange radio frequency signals,
371
00:15:35,208 --> 00:15:37,083
Erik will be doing the same
372
00:15:37,208 --> 00:15:39,083
and watching everything
with his surveillance cameras
373
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:42,833
and tracking system
inside the command center.
374
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,542
We're ready. Are y'all ready?
375
00:15:44,708 --> 00:15:46,167
- Yeah.
- All right.
376
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:47,958
Well, I say do this--
uh, let's do this first one.
377
00:15:48,125 --> 00:15:49,833
- Sounds good.
- It's on.
-All right, good.
378
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,583
Erik, do you copy?
379
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:53,917
Yeah, Travis, go ahead.
380
00:15:54,125 --> 00:15:56,333
We're starting
the first rocket launch.
381
00:15:56,458 --> 00:15:58,500
Copy you.
I've got eyes on that.
382
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,667
Did you hear that? On the lidar?
383
00:16:00,875 --> 00:16:02,792
Yeah, we're good to go.
384
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,042
T-minus one minute and counting.
385
00:16:09,292 --> 00:16:12,125
Hey, guys, look what happened
after you launched the drones.
386
00:16:13,208 --> 00:16:16,625
I'm detecting
a 5.5 gigahertz signal.
387
00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:20,792
This was the absolute
first time we ever detected
388
00:16:20,917 --> 00:16:23,500
a signal at 5.5 gigahertz
on the ranch.
389
00:16:23,708 --> 00:16:27,583
And it happened right when Jim
and Pete launched their drones.
390
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:30,375
Now, I have no idea what
could've been broadcasting it,
391
00:16:30,542 --> 00:16:33,292
but since we often see
strange radio signals
392
00:16:33,458 --> 00:16:35,625
when other phenomena occur,
like UAPs,
393
00:16:35,792 --> 00:16:38,375
we'll have to check Erik's
high-speed surveillance cameras
394
00:16:38,542 --> 00:16:41,667
and our lidar data to see
if they captured what this was.
395
00:16:42,417 --> 00:16:45,333
Pad's armed.
The rocket's ready.
396
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,250
At any rate, it made me think
that it was time
397
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:51,542
to launch the first rocket
to see what we might reveal
398
00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:55,292
once it deployed the chalk
1,000 feet up inside the bubble.
399
00:16:55,458 --> 00:16:57,875
Five, four,
400
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,583
three, two, one.
401
00:17:01,917 --> 00:17:03,750
Come on.
402
00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:05,792
-Whoa.
-Whoa.
403
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:08,000
Wow. That's pushing.
404
00:17:10,208 --> 00:17:12,542
All right.
Oh, there's the powder.
405
00:17:12,667 --> 00:17:15,542
Good chute deployment.
Powder is out.
406
00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:18,167
Straight over the triangle.
407
00:17:18,375 --> 00:17:20,375
The powder's just
sitting there, ain't it?
408
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,208
Yup.
409
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,250
Travis, what can you tell me
about the powder charge?
410
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:28,167
It's sitting still
and it is not moving,
411
00:17:28,292 --> 00:17:31,417
probably at about 800
to 1,000 feet.
412
00:17:31,583 --> 00:17:32,792
Copy that.
413
00:17:32,958 --> 00:17:35,792
Y'all got some
weird mojo out here.
414
00:17:35,917 --> 00:17:38,875
The winds up at that altitude
should have dispersed the chalk
415
00:17:39,042 --> 00:17:42,667
into a much bigger
and wider plume or cloud.
416
00:17:42,875 --> 00:17:44,917
But instead, it just sat still
417
00:17:45,083 --> 00:17:47,708
in a tight formation
for several seconds.
418
00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:51,791
One week ago...
419
00:17:51,792 --> 00:17:54,375
- There it is.
-It stopped.
420
00:17:54,542 --> 00:17:57,500
...after we launched
one of our standard rockets
421
00:17:57,708 --> 00:18:00,500
through the strange
void zone above the triangle,
422
00:18:00,625 --> 00:18:04,667
on its descent, it froze midair
a couple hundred feet high,
423
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:09,542
in the same general area where
this chalk was acting strange.
424
00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:12,250
TRAVIS
It's very faint
and diffused, Erik.
425
00:18:12,417 --> 00:18:15,375
It's probably at, uh,
400 feet now.
426
00:18:16,542 --> 00:18:18,958
So, is there
something invisible
427
00:18:19,125 --> 00:18:21,042
inside the bubble
that made the rocket
428
00:18:21,167 --> 00:18:23,957
and now the chalk plume
freeze in midair?
429
00:18:23,958 --> 00:18:25,667
And could it be
what's blocking us
430
00:18:25,833 --> 00:18:29,500
from collecting GPS data
right above the triangle?
431
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:31,167
We needed to launch
a bigger rocket
432
00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,667
armed with the Kate system
to find out.
433
00:18:34,875 --> 00:18:36,958
Hey, we're going to the pad.
434
00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:38,417
Be advised, Erik,
435
00:18:38,583 --> 00:18:40,458
we are preparing
the next rocket launch.
436
00:18:40,625 --> 00:18:42,667
Okay, Travis, while we're
setting up for the next launch,
437
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:46,500
uh, I'd like to know
if you've got eyes on 1.6.
438
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:51,083
Holy-- There's
a 1.6 gigahertz signal now.
439
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:52,958
Incredible.
440
00:18:53,125 --> 00:18:55,208
This is insane.
441
00:19:00,792 --> 00:19:02,833
There's a 1.6 gigahertz
signal now.
442
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,708
Wow.
443
00:19:06,792 --> 00:19:08,292
Hey, Erik.
444
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:11,458
We just had a flood
of 1.6 gigahertz signals.
445
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:13,708
And looking
at the spectrum analyzer,
446
00:19:13,875 --> 00:19:17,250
it's coming from the antenna
pointed right at the triangle.
447
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:19,833
Sounds like
a target acquired.
448
00:19:21,208 --> 00:19:24,333
These 1.6 gigahertz signals
were much more familiar.
449
00:19:24,542 --> 00:19:27,457
We detect them a lot
when UAPs appear in the sky.
450
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:30,292
And they possibly could be
some form of communication.
451
00:19:30,458 --> 00:19:31,833
Well, I'll keep an eye on it.
452
00:19:32,042 --> 00:19:33,917
We've got the big rocket
on the pad,
453
00:19:34,083 --> 00:19:35,333
are the cameras in position?
454
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:37,750
Cameras are in position.
455
00:19:37,917 --> 00:19:41,083
The signals were coming
from right above the triangle.
456
00:19:41,250 --> 00:19:43,083
Right where the chalk cloud
457
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:46,000
appeared to cling to something
about 800 feet high.
458
00:19:46,125 --> 00:19:48,667
So, could that be
where it was coming from?
459
00:19:48,833 --> 00:19:52,833
This will be the first
Kate sensor package test.
460
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:55,125
That is perfect. Keep me posted.
461
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:58,125
It was time to launch
one of LOC's larger rockets
462
00:19:58,333 --> 00:19:59,833
equipped with the Kate system,
463
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,792
to hopefully find out.
464
00:20:01,958 --> 00:20:04,542
Hey, guys. Be advised,
465
00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:06,583
we are ready for launch
whenever you guys are.
466
00:20:06,708 --> 00:20:08,958
Travis, I'm going up.
467
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:10,417
- Go, go.
-Yep.
468
00:20:14,042 --> 00:20:15,458
Taking off.
469
00:20:18,875 --> 00:20:20,500
Countdown starting.
470
00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:23,000
Five, four,
471
00:20:23,167 --> 00:20:26,333
three, two, one.
472
00:20:30,042 --> 00:20:31,833
Now that's a rocket!
473
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,750
- Wow.
-Holy crap.
474
00:20:33,917 --> 00:20:34,875
She's still going.
475
00:20:35,875 --> 00:20:37,833
Travis, can you
confirm good chute?
476
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,667
Erik, be advised,
477
00:20:39,792 --> 00:20:42,250
it is straight up over
the tents right now
478
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:43,750
at about 4,000 feet
above the triangle.
479
00:20:43,917 --> 00:20:45,458
Copy that, Travis.
480
00:20:47,167 --> 00:20:49,333
Looks like it's going north.
481
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:51,958
It'll come down over the mesa.
482
00:20:52,167 --> 00:20:54,167
She's dropping quicker.
483
00:20:54,333 --> 00:20:56,333
Now it just got into free fall.
484
00:20:57,667 --> 00:20:59,667
Right. What happened?
485
00:20:59,875 --> 00:21:01,375
What elevation was it at
when it hit the free fall?
486
00:21:01,542 --> 00:21:03,500
-About 3,200 feet.
-3,000.
487
00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:08,125
Look at it coming down now
all of the sudden.
488
00:21:08,292 --> 00:21:11,167
Wow, it's dropping like crazy.
489
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:13,958
Erik, when this thing
got to 3,200 feet,
490
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,500
it started dropping like a rock.
491
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:18,625
It doubled in descent speed.
492
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:22,458
The rocket seemed to fly up
all the way through the bubble
493
00:21:22,625 --> 00:21:25,500
to about 5,000 feet high
without incident.
494
00:21:25,625 --> 00:21:27,583
But then, as it descended,
495
00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:30,333
it was like something pushed it
to the north of the bubble
496
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,625
all the way over to the mesa.
497
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:35,375
When it should have
just fell straight back down
498
00:21:35,542 --> 00:21:37,333
to the triangle,
collecting more data.
499
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:39,500
And the Kate tracking system
showed
500
00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:41,167
that for some strange reason,
501
00:21:41,292 --> 00:21:43,292
at about 3,200 feet,
502
00:21:43,417 --> 00:21:45,166
the rocket
just plunged to the ground
503
00:21:45,167 --> 00:21:47,083
much faster than it should have.
504
00:21:47,208 --> 00:21:48,667
What in the world is up there?
505
00:21:48,833 --> 00:21:51,667
And could it have
purposely pushed our rocket
506
00:21:51,833 --> 00:21:53,208
away from the bubble?
507
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:55,333
It was gonna take us some time
508
00:21:55,542 --> 00:21:58,458
to get the biggest rocket that
LOC brought set up for launch,
509
00:21:58,625 --> 00:22:00,125
but we couldn't wait to see
510
00:22:00,250 --> 00:22:02,417
what this experiment
might reveal next.
511
00:22:12,042 --> 00:22:14,750
So, Jim, what is your plan
with the drone this time?
512
00:22:14,917 --> 00:22:16,208
So, I'm gonna fly thermal,
513
00:22:16,375 --> 00:22:18,250
and I'm gonna go down
by the south field.
514
00:22:18,417 --> 00:22:20,667
-Yeah. So, you'll be
outside of the bubble, right?
-Yep.
515
00:22:20,875 --> 00:22:23,333
- And then fly through it.
-Okay.
516
00:22:23,542 --> 00:22:25,125
All right, so let's get
the drones warmed up
517
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:27,958
- and the terrestrial
laser scanner ready.
-Okay.
518
00:22:28,125 --> 00:22:29,500
Man, I'm excited.
519
00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:30,583
All right, so let's get
a small rocket ready
520
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:32,417
on the pad and ready to go.
521
00:22:32,583 --> 00:22:34,208
Let's do another launch
and be prepping the big one.
522
00:22:34,375 --> 00:22:35,958
- Okay. Sounds good.
- All right, let's do it.
523
00:22:36,125 --> 00:22:37,792
- All right, so you got
to pull the pin?
-Yes.
524
00:22:37,917 --> 00:22:40,042
-So, right there.
-Okay.
525
00:22:40,208 --> 00:22:41,625
- Okay, we're good.
-Okay.
526
00:22:41,792 --> 00:22:42,917
-Bring her down.
-Come down...
527
00:22:43,042 --> 00:22:44,167
Okay.
528
00:22:44,375 --> 00:22:46,917
- We're good.
- All right.
529
00:22:47,083 --> 00:22:48,125
We're gonna launch a rocket
530
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:50,250
in less than two minutes.
531
00:22:50,375 --> 00:22:52,208
So, be prepared.
532
00:22:52,375 --> 00:22:53,500
SLAM scanner's up
533
00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:55,333
and terrestrial
laser scanner's up.
534
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:59,250
In the hopes of capturing
more data during the next launch
535
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:02,625
that could help us identify
anything in that strange zone
536
00:23:02,833 --> 00:23:04,000
at the center of the bubble,
537
00:23:04,167 --> 00:23:05,500
Kaleb was operating
538
00:23:05,708 --> 00:23:08,458
two different kinds
of lidar scanning devices.
539
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:13,667
Drone's going up. Look out.
540
00:23:13,833 --> 00:23:16,083
Okay, I'm taking off.
541
00:23:17,917 --> 00:23:20,792
So, I'm-I'm sitting right
over the top of the river
542
00:23:20,958 --> 00:23:22,958
in the south field.
543
00:23:25,250 --> 00:23:27,000
Whoa. What the hell?
544
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:28,125
Whoa.
545
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:30,167
- So I'm gonna cut--
- We just--
546
00:23:30,375 --> 00:23:31,500
We just lost it.
547
00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:35,625
I lost complete control
of the drone.
548
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:42,500
What is doing this, I wonder.
549
00:23:42,667 --> 00:23:45,625
Oh, for Pete's sake.
550
00:23:47,542 --> 00:23:49,458
Hey, Travis, you copy?
551
00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:52,957
Yeah, go ahead, uh, Erik.
What's going on?
552
00:23:52,958 --> 00:23:55,000
There is a new form
of data corruption
553
00:23:55,208 --> 00:23:58,333
in the GPS tracking data
coming from Jim's drone.
554
00:23:58,542 --> 00:24:00,208
I've never seen it before,
555
00:24:00,375 --> 00:24:02,375
it's as if something
is not just corrupting,
556
00:24:02,542 --> 00:24:03,833
but actually
inserting characters
557
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:06,000
that cannot be read
into the data stream.
558
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:09,000
That sounds like, uh,
559
00:24:09,208 --> 00:24:12,417
that something's hacked
into your system wirelessly
560
00:24:12,583 --> 00:24:15,000
and is changing the code
in real time.
561
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:16,333
Well, at the very least,
562
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:17,417
it's a new form
of data corruption
563
00:24:17,542 --> 00:24:18,583
that we haven't seen before,
564
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,708
and it is happening right now
565
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:22,833
in the middle
of our rocket activities.
566
00:24:23,042 --> 00:24:26,333
What we are seeing
are not only positional errors
567
00:24:26,542 --> 00:24:29,167
in the GPS trackers,
568
00:24:29,292 --> 00:24:30,375
but data corruption errors.
569
00:24:30,542 --> 00:24:32,083
It's as if
something is rewriting
570
00:24:32,208 --> 00:24:34,375
portions of the data string
571
00:24:34,542 --> 00:24:36,000
being transmitted
from the tracker
572
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:37,083
down to the base station.
573
00:24:38,292 --> 00:24:40,000
Are we dealing
with something real
574
00:24:40,125 --> 00:24:41,667
within this bubble
575
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:44,167
that could account
for deliberate interference?
576
00:24:44,375 --> 00:24:45,792
ERIK
I've done some things
with the code
577
00:24:45,958 --> 00:24:47,917
that I hope will prevent
that from crashing
578
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:49,333
the real-time tracking.
579
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,083
Keep me posted on that.
580
00:24:51,292 --> 00:24:52,583
Copy that.
581
00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:54,958
All right, everybody,
ready for launch
582
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:57,000
in five, four,
583
00:24:57,208 --> 00:25:00,708
three, two, one.
584
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,000
Rocket's straight overhead.
585
00:25:07,083 --> 00:25:09,000
I don't see the light.
586
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:13,000
There it is.
587
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:18,083
I saw the chute charge,
but I didn't see any lights.
588
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:20,333
I think I just heard it
crash on the ground.
589
00:25:20,542 --> 00:25:22,083
-Hey, Travis.
- Yo.
590
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:23,917
- You're not gonna believe it.
- What am I not gonna believe?
591
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:26,083
- So I get over
Dry Gulch Creek...
- South of it?
592
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:29,958
Yeah. When I get up near
that barrier of the bubble,
593
00:25:30,125 --> 00:25:32,458
I started losing
all communication on the drone.
594
00:25:32,625 --> 00:25:34,708
Could not move the drone.
595
00:25:34,875 --> 00:25:37,458
So, you had GPS errors,
you had communication errors.
596
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:39,292
Yeah, yeah.
597
00:25:39,458 --> 00:25:40,667
That's crazy, man.
598
00:25:40,792 --> 00:25:43,250
Hey, Travis? This is Pete.
599
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:45,125
Do you want to walk over here
600
00:25:45,292 --> 00:25:46,458
to the terrestrial
laser scanner?
601
00:25:46,625 --> 00:25:48,042
I'm headed right there.
602
00:25:48,208 --> 00:25:52,125
Jim's drone issues
sounded like, once again,
603
00:25:52,292 --> 00:25:53,625
the barrier of the bubble
604
00:25:53,833 --> 00:25:56,083
was somehow stopping us
from collecting data.
605
00:25:56,208 --> 00:26:00,083
So, that made me wonder
what Pete was about to show me
606
00:26:00,250 --> 00:26:01,667
on the lidar scanner
607
00:26:01,875 --> 00:26:03,917
that we had right
in the center of the triangle.
608
00:26:04,042 --> 00:26:05,625
What's up, Pete?
609
00:26:05,792 --> 00:26:07,000
- Just look at it
- What do you want me to look at?
610
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:08,875
and tell us what you see.
611
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,208
All right.
612
00:26:13,792 --> 00:26:15,667
There's where the rocket
was launched from.
613
00:26:17,542 --> 00:26:18,667
Right.
614
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,333
But way over here
615
00:26:21,542 --> 00:26:22,958
is where the lidar
shows its smoke trail
616
00:26:23,167 --> 00:26:24,333
after the launch.
617
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:25,792
They should line up.
618
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,083
The rocket is displaced by...
619
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:28,375
Ten, 12--
620
00:26:28,542 --> 00:26:30,167
Ten-- ten or 12 feet.
621
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:33,124
That makes no sense.
622
00:26:33,125 --> 00:26:37,083
That is just absolutely insane.
623
00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:43,958
That is freakin' incredible.
624
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:47,458
This lidar system thinks
that the rocket launched
625
00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:50,500
from over here and went up.
626
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:52,208
Well, that leaves the perfect
image of the rocket,
627
00:26:52,417 --> 00:26:54,500
but it's not on the launchpad.
628
00:26:54,667 --> 00:26:56,250
That's interesting.
629
00:26:56,417 --> 00:26:58,083
That's crazy.
630
00:26:58,292 --> 00:26:59,958
Uh, let's set up again
for this next launch
631
00:27:00,167 --> 00:27:01,750
- and we'll see
if it happens again.
- Yeah. Yeah, man.
632
00:27:01,917 --> 00:27:03,750
- All right.
-We're gonna
have to hustle.
633
00:27:03,875 --> 00:27:06,000
lidar technology
uses infrared light
634
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:09,000
to map out detailed images
of an environment.
635
00:27:09,208 --> 00:27:12,458
But once again, something
at the center of the triangle
636
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:14,625
either fooled or displaced
637
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:16,667
Pete Kelsey's
terrestrial lidar data
638
00:27:16,875 --> 00:27:20,000
to make it seem like
our last rocket launch
639
00:27:20,167 --> 00:27:21,667
was several feet away
640
00:27:21,833 --> 00:27:24,167
from where we knew
it actually was.
641
00:27:24,292 --> 00:27:25,750
This was more possible evidence
642
00:27:25,875 --> 00:27:28,333
that something right
in the center of the bubble
643
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:30,375
is corrupting
our data collection.
644
00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:32,958
But what on earth could do that?
645
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,375
Erik, we're a couple of minutes
from launch.
646
00:27:37,542 --> 00:27:38,750
Copy that.
647
00:27:40,667 --> 00:27:43,958
Huh. That is so strange.
648
00:27:45,250 --> 00:27:46,292
Dude, at one point--
649
00:27:46,458 --> 00:27:47,833
Hey, Erik?
650
00:27:48,042 --> 00:27:53,125
The 1.2 gigahertz range
is absolutely lit up.
651
00:27:53,292 --> 00:27:54,167
Are you seeing that?
652
00:27:54,375 --> 00:27:55,917
Uh, yeah.
653
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:57,958
I'm seeing a ton of activity.
654
00:27:58,125 --> 00:27:59,042
Copy that.
655
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,375
I don't know
what's going on tonight,
656
00:28:01,542 --> 00:28:04,542
but we're getting flooded
with strange frequency signals.
657
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:07,792
First, we got
the 5.5 gigahertz signal,
658
00:28:07,958 --> 00:28:09,792
which we had never seen before.
659
00:28:09,958 --> 00:28:12,125
Then we got
the 1.6 gigahertz signal,
660
00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:15,791
which we often get right before
UAPs appear in the sky.
661
00:28:15,792 --> 00:28:18,292
Look at all these bumps
right here, Kaleb,
662
00:28:18,458 --> 00:28:22,167
And now we're getting
this 1.2 gigahertz signal?
663
00:28:22,292 --> 00:28:24,667
Of all the signals
we detected tonight,
664
00:28:24,833 --> 00:28:27,708
the 1.2 gigahertz signal
was the one
665
00:28:27,875 --> 00:28:30,250
that really freaked
me and Erik out the most.
666
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,917
Hey, Pete, can you turn on
the 1.2 gigahertz signal?
667
00:28:33,125 --> 00:28:34,833
Yes, sir.
668
00:28:35,042 --> 00:28:36,875
During a recent
bubble experiment,
669
00:28:37,042 --> 00:28:41,333
Erik broadcast a 1.2 gigahertz
signal on a mobile transmitter
670
00:28:41,542 --> 00:28:44,000
so that we could track it
as it moved across the property.
671
00:28:44,167 --> 00:28:45,333
We're gonna launch this time.
672
00:28:45,542 --> 00:28:46,625
He chose that frequency
673
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:48,792
because we had never detected it
674
00:28:48,917 --> 00:28:51,208
on Skinwalker Ranch ever before.
675
00:28:51,375 --> 00:28:52,667
Look right here.
676
00:28:52,875 --> 00:28:54,667
But then something on the ranch
677
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,708
started broadcasting
a duplicate signal back at us.
678
00:28:57,875 --> 00:28:59,708
It was like
it copied the dang thing
679
00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:00,625
to communicate with us.
680
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:02,125
But if so,
681
00:29:02,292 --> 00:29:04,500
is it a friendly message
or a hostile one?
682
00:29:04,667 --> 00:29:05,833
How we doing out there, guys?
683
00:29:06,042 --> 00:29:07,917
Good. About ready
to arm it all up here.
684
00:29:08,125 --> 00:29:10,417
Okay, I'm gonna check Kate.
685
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:12,042
-Okay.
-Either way,
686
00:29:12,208 --> 00:29:14,125
now that something
at the center of the bubble
687
00:29:14,292 --> 00:29:16,292
seemed to be
once again stopping us
688
00:29:16,417 --> 00:29:17,583
from collecting data there,
689
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:19,875
we needed to launch
that last big rocket
690
00:29:20,042 --> 00:29:21,583
to see
if we could figure it out.
691
00:29:21,792 --> 00:29:23,333
All right, let's do it.
692
00:29:23,542 --> 00:29:26,583
Hey, guys, don't forget to start
all the lights and everything.
693
00:29:26,792 --> 00:29:28,417
-Look at that.
-We got-we got something
694
00:29:28,542 --> 00:29:30,292
on the mesa!
Erik, we got something
695
00:29:30,417 --> 00:29:31,833
on the-on the mesa.
696
00:29:31,958 --> 00:29:34,083
Just west of the tower.
697
00:29:34,250 --> 00:29:36,125
Erik, if you got any eyes
on top of the mesa
698
00:29:36,250 --> 00:29:38,333
that can look north
just over the mesa,
699
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:41,417
- behind the launch tower.
- I am watching now.
700
00:29:42,958 --> 00:29:44,750
Travis, uh, please be advised
701
00:29:44,875 --> 00:29:48,333
I do show
a moving point of light
702
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:52,625
that is to the north and west
of the triangle.
703
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:55,875
Quite interestingly,
Travis reports spotting
704
00:29:56,042 --> 00:29:58,167
a prospective UAP over the mesa.
705
00:29:58,333 --> 00:30:00,125
Immediately,
my thoughts are turned
706
00:30:00,292 --> 00:30:03,042
to the very peculiar timing
of when it showed up.
707
00:30:03,208 --> 00:30:05,500
This happens to coincide
with the emergence
708
00:30:05,667 --> 00:30:08,208
of a 1.2 gigahertz signal.
709
00:30:08,375 --> 00:30:10,292
We don't know where
it's coming from,
710
00:30:10,458 --> 00:30:11,583
but I would really like to know,
711
00:30:11,792 --> 00:30:13,292
and I think
we would all like to know
712
00:30:13,458 --> 00:30:16,500
what relationship there is
between these emergent signals
713
00:30:16,708 --> 00:30:18,625
and some
of the other phenomenology,
714
00:30:18,792 --> 00:30:21,708
like the UAPs
that we sometimes see.
715
00:30:21,875 --> 00:30:24,667
-Kate says
launch is a go.
- All right.
716
00:30:24,875 --> 00:30:27,708
Five, four,
717
00:30:27,875 --> 00:30:31,125
three, two, one.
718
00:30:34,458 --> 00:30:35,875
Ooh.
719
00:30:37,333 --> 00:30:38,417
Wow.
720
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:41,000
Chute has deployed.
721
00:30:41,167 --> 00:30:43,792
We see the rocket, straight up.
722
00:30:43,958 --> 00:30:45,708
Travis, do we have eyes
723
00:30:45,875 --> 00:30:47,333
on the strobe?
724
00:30:47,542 --> 00:30:49,500
Yes, we do, Erik.
It is straight up.
725
00:30:49,708 --> 00:30:50,958
Copy that.
726
00:30:52,792 --> 00:30:55,375
2,400 feet right now, Erik.
727
00:30:55,583 --> 00:30:56,500
Copy you, Travis.
728
00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:58,083
I've got eyes on the rocket.
729
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Gosh.
730
00:31:01,125 --> 00:31:03,000
This one's falling way
off course. Y'all see that?
731
00:31:03,208 --> 00:31:04,792
Kind of whipping around
up there a little bit.
732
00:31:04,958 --> 00:31:05,792
How far?
733
00:31:05,958 --> 00:31:07,708
Half a mile.
734
00:31:07,875 --> 00:31:09,000
Half a mile away
right now to the north.
735
00:31:09,208 --> 00:31:10,208
It's going to the same place.
736
00:31:10,375 --> 00:31:11,542
Yep.
737
00:31:11,708 --> 00:31:14,375
These huge rockets are designed
to go straight up
738
00:31:14,542 --> 00:31:15,708
and come straight back down.
739
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:17,667
There were no high winds,
740
00:31:17,833 --> 00:31:20,333
but both large rockets
fell way off course
741
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:22,250
to the same spot,
742
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:25,166
like something pushed them
away from the bubble.
743
00:31:25,167 --> 00:31:28,167
Again, it was like
something was stopping us
744
00:31:28,375 --> 00:31:30,583
from collecting data
above the triangle
745
00:31:30,792 --> 00:31:31,957
and inside the bubble.
746
00:31:31,958 --> 00:31:34,167
So, what could do that?
747
00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:38,167
She's on the ground.
748
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:41,125
Hey, Erik, uh, I think you
and Sam can head back over
749
00:31:41,292 --> 00:31:43,417
as far as we're concerned.
750
00:31:43,583 --> 00:31:44,583
Copy that.
751
00:31:44,750 --> 00:31:46,500
Man, we had a bunch of things--
752
00:31:46,708 --> 00:31:49,667
uh, good stuff--
happening tonight.
753
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:52,917
I don't know what to make
of all the strange things
754
00:31:53,083 --> 00:31:54,624
that happened
during this experiment,
755
00:31:54,625 --> 00:31:57,167
both inside
and above the bubble.
756
00:31:57,375 --> 00:31:59,167
But we have a ton
of incredible new data
757
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,500
to scour through,
to hopefully find out.
758
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:04,917
- Uh, Kate was fantastic.
- Oh, yeah.
759
00:32:05,083 --> 00:32:07,625
I'm gonna be excited
to bring all of this together,
760
00:32:07,833 --> 00:32:09,000
take a look at it.
761
00:32:09,167 --> 00:32:11,333
So, I think
we need to wrap it up.
762
00:32:11,542 --> 00:32:13,000
-Yup. Let's load up.
-All right.
763
00:32:13,208 --> 00:32:14,542
All right.
764
00:32:19,042 --> 00:32:21,125
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, hey.
765
00:32:21,292 --> 00:32:22,833
-Come on in, have a seat.
- What's going on?
766
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,833
-Hey, guys.
- We are gonna look at the data
767
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
from the, uh, rocket launches
with LOC.
768
00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:30,458
That was a very active night.
769
00:32:30,625 --> 00:32:33,875
- I remember there was
just a lot going on.
- Mm-hmm.
770
00:32:34,042 --> 00:32:35,333
After spending
most of the next day
771
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:36,792
crunching all the data
772
00:32:36,958 --> 00:32:38,167
from our rocket experiment,
773
00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:39,542
Erik called us
into the command center
774
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:41,417
to review everything.
775
00:32:41,583 --> 00:32:44,167
It definitely makes me curious
about what you've got for us.
776
00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:46,417
You know, there were
a lot of points of interest
777
00:32:46,583 --> 00:32:47,792
for this experiment.
778
00:32:47,917 --> 00:32:48,833
Like that powder release
from the rocket.
779
00:32:49,042 --> 00:32:50,750
Mm-hmm, yeah.
780
00:32:50,917 --> 00:32:53,375
But I found much more
in the data I want to show you.
781
00:32:53,542 --> 00:32:57,208
To start with, we've got
high-speed video footage.
782
00:32:57,375 --> 00:32:59,167
-Oh.
- Yeah, I'm anxious to see that.
783
00:32:59,375 --> 00:33:02,500
Yeah, so,
this particular sequence
784
00:33:02,708 --> 00:33:04,083
was taken during the day,
785
00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:06,208
looking out towards the mesa,
786
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:08,667
right before
you launched the first rocket.
787
00:33:08,833 --> 00:33:10,875
And, uh, I want you to tell me
788
00:33:11,042 --> 00:33:14,500
if you see anything here
before I prompt you.
789
00:33:17,208 --> 00:33:18,292
- Oh! Right there.
- Oh, it's right there.
790
00:33:18,417 --> 00:33:20,375
Okay.
791
00:33:20,542 --> 00:33:21,792
I don't see it.
792
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:22,958
Yeah, it's-it's right here.
793
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:23,875
Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
794
00:33:24,083 --> 00:33:26,042
See that, uh, light?
795
00:33:26,208 --> 00:33:28,083
Well, I barely see that, Thomas.
796
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:29,833
That was a good eye.
797
00:33:30,042 --> 00:33:32,917
Was that maybe why
we detected that first signal?
798
00:33:33,042 --> 00:33:34,333
That's a very good question.
799
00:33:34,542 --> 00:33:36,125
Yeah, so let me dive in.
800
00:33:38,042 --> 00:33:40,875
Right before we launched
our first rocket yesterday,
801
00:33:41,042 --> 00:33:43,917
we detected that strange
5.5 gigahertz signal
802
00:33:44,042 --> 00:33:45,708
on our spectrum analyzers.
803
00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:47,917
We didn't see anything
in the moment,
804
00:33:48,042 --> 00:33:50,042
but could this UAP
that Erik captured
805
00:33:50,208 --> 00:33:53,708
with a high-speed camera
be the source of it?
806
00:33:53,875 --> 00:33:56,000
So, let me move us back
just a bit.
807
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:58,292
Now look, see what's happening
if we scrub through it?
808
00:33:58,458 --> 00:34:00,000
-There, yeah.
-See what I'm--
See what's happening here?
809
00:34:00,208 --> 00:34:02,292
There's definitely movement.
810
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:04,667
So, we're looking
west here, right?
811
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:06,542
Yeah. So, this is west-facing.
812
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:08,458
When we play this forward,
I interpret the movement
813
00:34:08,625 --> 00:34:11,000
as being basically
from east to west.
814
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:13,458
And it's, uh,
it's fading in and out,
815
00:34:13,625 --> 00:34:16,167
it's not like any-anything
that we-we can--
816
00:34:16,333 --> 00:34:17,833
we've seen before
and we know what it is.
817
00:34:17,958 --> 00:34:19,083
Yeah, I don't know how
to classify this thing.
818
00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:20,500
I--
819
00:34:21,875 --> 00:34:23,500
We're seeing a possible UAP.
820
00:34:23,625 --> 00:34:26,000
We don't know
where it's coming from.
821
00:34:26,125 --> 00:34:28,333
But we're also seeing
mysterious signals
822
00:34:28,542 --> 00:34:31,542
that are showing up
on the RF spectrum analyzer.
823
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:33,125
And then there are
824
00:34:33,292 --> 00:34:34,542
all the other strange things
that are happening,
825
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:36,917
like interference
with our communications.
826
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:38,917
I can't help wondering--
827
00:34:39,083 --> 00:34:40,625
maybe there's a relationship
828
00:34:40,750 --> 00:34:42,792
between all of these glitches
and the bubble.
829
00:34:42,958 --> 00:34:45,917
So, what else did you...
did you get?
830
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,458
So, what I'm gonna show us
831
00:34:48,583 --> 00:34:52,500
is the positional GPS data
for all the events
832
00:34:52,667 --> 00:34:54,958
that go along
with, uh, rocket launches.
833
00:34:55,125 --> 00:34:58,208
So, this is the Kate data, then?
834
00:34:58,375 --> 00:34:59,500
Yeah.
835
00:34:59,708 --> 00:35:01,708
Which was the computer
inside of the rocket?
836
00:35:01,875 --> 00:35:04,125
Yeah. Watch this.
837
00:35:04,292 --> 00:35:05,833
So, you're gonna see the launch.
838
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,458
- We are at the triangle.
-Mm-hmm.
839
00:35:08,625 --> 00:35:10,583
Center of, uh,
center of our bubble.
840
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:12,792
And look what happens here.
841
00:35:12,958 --> 00:35:14,208
-Wow.
-Whoa.
842
00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:17,833
-Oh, wow.
-That's crazy.
843
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,458
Yeah, so, I mean, look,
844
00:35:19,583 --> 00:35:21,000
you guys were standing
right down there at the tent,
845
00:35:21,167 --> 00:35:22,500
you saw this launch.
846
00:35:22,625 --> 00:35:24,375
Do we all agree
it didn't do this?
847
00:35:24,542 --> 00:35:26,750
- Yeah, that's strange.
- Yeah, it did not do that.
848
00:35:26,917 --> 00:35:28,500
It went straight.
849
00:35:28,667 --> 00:35:30,500
Yeah, nevertheless, according
to a very sophisticated
850
00:35:30,667 --> 00:35:31,917
rocket tracking system,
851
00:35:32,125 --> 00:35:34,375
that's the path that
that rocket took.
852
00:35:34,542 --> 00:35:37,333
There's an abrupt change
of direction.
853
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:39,792
That rocket did not do that.
854
00:35:39,958 --> 00:35:41,125
Now, look at this.
855
00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:42,875
Green coloration
means that we have
856
00:35:43,042 --> 00:35:44,875
a stronger link between
857
00:35:45,042 --> 00:35:46,792
the Kate system
aboard the rocket
858
00:35:46,958 --> 00:35:48,250
and the receiver on the ground.
859
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:50,375
The red end
is as weak as it gets.
860
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:54,125
But, so what means is,
uh, the Kate system
861
00:35:54,292 --> 00:35:57,417
was-was affected
by whatever this phenomenon is.
862
00:35:57,583 --> 00:35:59,000
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
863
00:35:59,167 --> 00:36:00,833
We all saw that rocket
864
00:36:01,042 --> 00:36:03,000
go straight up
above the triangle.
865
00:36:03,167 --> 00:36:05,458
But according to
the Kate GPS tracking system,
866
00:36:05,583 --> 00:36:07,458
right after the rocket
was launched,
867
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:10,458
it flew at a very hard angle
for several hundred feet
868
00:36:10,583 --> 00:36:13,417
before suddenly turning
and then going straight up.
869
00:36:13,542 --> 00:36:17,083
So, could the bubble have fooled
this rocket's GPS tracker
870
00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:19,250
to think it made
these maneuvers?
871
00:36:19,375 --> 00:36:23,708
Now, the weird thing is, uh...
872
00:36:23,917 --> 00:36:25,458
Zoom out all the way to the--
873
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:27,833
- So we get the whole thing.
- Uh-huh.
874
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
And let's see if there are
other kinks in the flight.
875
00:36:30,208 --> 00:36:32,000
Yeah, let's have a look.
876
00:36:32,167 --> 00:36:34,500
I would say that
this part here--
877
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:36,500
that looks like
a regular rocket trajectory.
878
00:36:36,625 --> 00:36:38,875
Right here,
there's clearly a kink.
879
00:36:39,042 --> 00:36:41,917
And it's possible
that somewhere in here--
880
00:36:42,083 --> 00:36:43,792
We've got missing data here,
881
00:36:43,958 --> 00:36:45,250
and you got missing data here
882
00:36:45,417 --> 00:36:47,875
and missing data here and here.
883
00:36:48,042 --> 00:36:50,292
Inside the bubble, right?
884
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:53,583
We've consistently seen
missing data inside the bubble.
885
00:36:53,708 --> 00:36:56,542
But then, look up here.
There's more missing data.
886
00:36:56,708 --> 00:37:00,208
Somewhere...
somewhere in here, right?
887
00:37:00,375 --> 00:37:03,083
That's about 3,200 feet.
888
00:37:03,208 --> 00:37:04,500
That's where the rockets
889
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:06,417
got pushed off course
on their descent.
890
00:37:06,625 --> 00:37:09,208
The bubble is 2,000 feet high.
891
00:37:09,375 --> 00:37:12,208
But the missing data
is at 3,200 feet.
892
00:37:12,375 --> 00:37:14,167
Whoa.
893
00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:17,875
So there's something in the sky
above the bubble, too.
894
00:37:18,042 --> 00:37:19,458
That's pretty crazy.
895
00:37:23,542 --> 00:37:26,667
The top of this bubble
is at about 2,000 feet, right?
896
00:37:26,833 --> 00:37:29,000
So that would be somewhere
in this circle, right here.
897
00:37:29,208 --> 00:37:31,667
- Uh-huh.
-Right? Is where
the top of the bubble would be.
898
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:33,292
So, now, if we draw,
899
00:37:33,458 --> 00:37:37,167
figure out where the bubble
is right there...
900
00:37:37,333 --> 00:37:39,792
Look, we got rocket data
missing above the bubble
901
00:37:39,958 --> 00:37:41,667
at about 3,200 feet high.
902
00:37:41,875 --> 00:37:45,375
So, now, we got something else
going on above the bubble, too.
903
00:37:46,875 --> 00:37:48,083
That's pretty damn interesting.
904
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:49,500
That's real interesting.
905
00:37:49,708 --> 00:37:51,333
There's a gap of missing
data points
906
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:54,417
about 3,200 feet high
above the triangle
907
00:37:54,625 --> 00:37:56,667
right where the rockets
fell off course.
908
00:37:56,833 --> 00:37:59,750
So, is there another anomaly
above the bubble
909
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:02,333
that is related
to the countless UAPs,
910
00:38:02,542 --> 00:38:04,667
strange signals
and voids in our data?
911
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:07,500
And if so,
how are these things connected?
912
00:38:08,875 --> 00:38:12,250
We don't know how thick
the bubble is, right?
913
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,500
So that's the question
we need to find out.
914
00:38:15,625 --> 00:38:18,708
This brings something
back to mind.
915
00:38:18,875 --> 00:38:22,000
Jim, I know you've got
a payload of data to share.
916
00:38:22,208 --> 00:38:24,667
Yeah. Had some
really crazy stuff happen.
917
00:38:24,875 --> 00:38:27,833
Okay, so I think I've got
the right file here.
918
00:38:28,042 --> 00:38:29,125
Yeah, so you'll see this.
919
00:38:29,292 --> 00:38:32,750
This is right
in Dry Gulch Creek.
920
00:38:32,917 --> 00:38:37,500
So, I'm going out to the south
boundary of the bubble.
921
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:40,875
- So, you'll start
seeing the bend.
-Uh-huh.
922
00:38:41,042 --> 00:38:42,458
See, there's the--
there's the corner
923
00:38:42,625 --> 00:38:43,958
where we saw the light
going through the water.
924
00:38:44,083 --> 00:38:47,500
Yes, yes.
From last year.
925
00:38:47,667 --> 00:38:51,500
So, as I'm sitting right
over the top of that bend now,
926
00:38:51,708 --> 00:38:53,833
you'll see that everything's
frozen right now.
927
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,375
Like, I cannot get
the drone out of this position.
928
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:58,167
This isn't paused?
929
00:38:58,375 --> 00:39:00,417
No, it stopped there.
930
00:39:02,042 --> 00:39:03,542
This is crazy.
931
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:07,333
So, not only did things
inside and above the bubble
932
00:39:07,542 --> 00:39:09,125
appear to stop us
from collecting data
933
00:39:09,292 --> 00:39:10,583
with the rockets,
934
00:39:10,792 --> 00:39:12,375
the southern barrier--
which is also
935
00:39:12,542 --> 00:39:14,833
near where we found
the dead wolf creature--
936
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,542
seemed to physically stop
Jim's drone from entering it.
937
00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:20,333
That is
a really interesting moment,
938
00:39:20,542 --> 00:39:22,625
when you're right against
this boundary.
939
00:39:22,750 --> 00:39:24,958
- Yeah.
-From
the very first experiment
940
00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:28,500
to-to all the way up to now,
941
00:39:28,625 --> 00:39:30,042
we just keep collecting
more and more data
942
00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:32,583
to suggest that there is
actually some type of boundary
943
00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:34,333
that's interfering with stuff.
944
00:39:34,458 --> 00:39:35,625
Yeah, I think
you're right, Thomas.
945
00:39:35,792 --> 00:39:38,125
I think we need
to scientifically probe
946
00:39:38,292 --> 00:39:39,833
where we think
the barrier wall is--
947
00:39:40,042 --> 00:39:41,833
this bubble of wall is--
948
00:39:42,042 --> 00:39:43,750
with as many different
things as we can.
949
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:45,500
Well, we can do things
at ground level.
950
00:39:45,667 --> 00:39:48,375
We can do things, you know,
at low level, like with a drone.
951
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:51,417
You know,
with a helikite, for example.
952
00:39:51,583 --> 00:39:53,083
What's a helikite?
953
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:55,958
It's basically
a-a helium balloon
954
00:39:56,083 --> 00:39:58,333
with a structure on it
that helps to orient it.
955
00:39:58,542 --> 00:40:00,042
So we can put a payload on it?
956
00:40:00,167 --> 00:40:01,708
-Yes, yes.
-Yeah.
957
00:40:01,875 --> 00:40:03,750
A-And one of the reasons
I'm bringing up the helikite
958
00:40:03,875 --> 00:40:05,542
is that it gets us
something that's missing
959
00:40:05,708 --> 00:40:08,833
from these rocket exercises,
and that's dwell time.
960
00:40:08,958 --> 00:40:10,458
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
961
00:40:10,625 --> 00:40:11,667
You know, we can
position this thing
962
00:40:11,792 --> 00:40:13,625
more or less
exactly where we want it,
963
00:40:13,792 --> 00:40:17,457
and we can dwell there for,
you know, minutes to hours.
964
00:40:17,458 --> 00:40:19,333
I like the helikite idea.
965
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:20,792
I think we secure one
a-and go forward with that.
966
00:40:20,958 --> 00:40:22,333
Yeah.
967
00:40:22,458 --> 00:40:23,291
-All right, awesome.
- Let's do it.
968
00:40:23,292 --> 00:40:24,500
Okay.
969
00:40:24,667 --> 00:40:25,917
Thanks, guys.
970
00:40:30,458 --> 00:40:32,458
A lot of our efforts
are focused on judging
971
00:40:32,625 --> 00:40:34,542
whether we're dealing
with something real
972
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:37,250
or simply, uh, artifactual
within our data
973
00:40:37,375 --> 00:40:39,750
when we're talking about
this bubble.
974
00:40:39,875 --> 00:40:42,000
We need to employ
everything we've got
975
00:40:42,208 --> 00:40:46,750
to give us even more
accurate data to find out.
976
00:40:46,917 --> 00:40:49,875
Between the UAPs,
the repeated missing data
977
00:40:50,042 --> 00:40:52,667
and the weird signals
we detected this week,
978
00:40:52,833 --> 00:40:55,250
it feels like something
on Skinwalker Ranch
979
00:40:55,458 --> 00:40:57,500
is trying to discourage
our investigation.
980
00:40:57,625 --> 00:40:59,583
Well, let me tell you,
981
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:01,625
it's all having
the opposite effect.
982
00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:05,542
And we're not gonna give up
until we have all the answers.
983
00:41:07,042 --> 00:41:10,000
The GPS malfunctions,
the electromagnetic anomalies,
984
00:41:10,208 --> 00:41:11,667
the equipment malfunctions
985
00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:13,875
that continue to persist
at Skinwalker Ranch
986
00:41:14,042 --> 00:41:16,917
all point to the bubble.
987
00:41:17,083 --> 00:41:20,333
As we charge forward,
we're more anxious than ever
988
00:41:20,542 --> 00:41:23,667
to better document
and characterize the nature
989
00:41:23,833 --> 00:41:27,792
of this strange region
on Skinwalker Ranch.
990
00:41:35,333 --> 00:41:38,708
We've not yet had these
helikite platforms out here.
991
00:41:38,875 --> 00:41:41,667
This GPS tracker in the helikite
992
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:45,208
is nearly 800 feet
into the ground.
993
00:41:45,375 --> 00:41:47,417
What's so special
about Dry Gulch Creek?
994
00:41:47,542 --> 00:41:49,708
There's something there
that causes problems.
995
00:41:49,917 --> 00:41:52,332
We need to
walk sensors through it.
996
00:41:52,333 --> 00:41:54,333
- What is that stuff right there?
- What is that?
997
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:56,167
Whatever it is, it ate a coyote.
998
00:41:56,333 --> 00:41:57,500
-Ate?
-Ate?
999
00:41:57,708 --> 00:41:59,375
What the hell
is walking around out here
1000
00:41:59,542 --> 00:42:00,833
- eating coyotes?
- Yeah, wow.
1001
